You Have No Idea How Much I Love You

Bad News

King's POV

I was having a peaceful slumber when I hear my name being called.

"King! King! Wake up King!" The voice called. I slowly opened my eyes to reveal a slightly flustered Diane. "Oh, King! You're finally awake."

"Uh..yeah...did we fall asleep out here?" I asked. She nodded, blushing only slightly, while I was a tomato. "O-oh...u-u-ummm..." I was a stuttering mess. She looked into my golden-brown (A/N: Is that his eye color?) eyes and I got lost in her violet ones.

"King," she started, "thank you."

"Wha-huh?! F-for what?" She simply smiled a close-eyed smile.

"I enjoyed spending time with you and thanks for making me feel better." She picked me up and kissed the top of my head. My face exploded a billion shades a red and I looked up at her. She smiled at me again, but this time I returned it despite me being as red as Ban's stolen suit.

Speaking of which...

Where is Ban?

Gowther's POV(A new one! YAY!)

I had apparently and surprisingly fallen asleep while reading. When I awoke I found Ban sleeping as well.

"Ban." I called out. He didn't budge. "Ban!" I called again. He moved slightly and groaned.

"Five more minutes...." He mumbled. I rolled my eyes in...what was it....'annoyance' and pushed him a bit. He rolled off the apparent hill we were on and I heard his head collide with a rock. "Owww.. GOWTHER!" He shouted.

"Yes Ban."

"What the hell did you do that for! I could've died!" I tilted my head slightly.

"But, Ban, have you forgotten you cannot die." I said plainly. He looked appalled (A/N: for those who don't know appalled means surprised/shocked but sophisticated) then scoffed and looked away.

"Whatever, what did you wake me up for anyway?" He asked. I asked if he had told anyone about Meliodas' condition. He slowly shook his head. "Everyone was asleep and I didn't want to bother anyone." He explained. I nodded in understanding.

"Would you like me to inform them of the situation?" I asked. He sat pondering the thought, then slightly shook his head.

"You'd be to blunt about it...it might freak everyone out more." He said. Again, I nodded in understanding. " You can come with me if you want." He said, standing. He walked towards the tavern and I followed. His face read that he was deep in thought. I decided to look through his mind.

Captain...you better not die on me...on any of us. Maybe Elizabeth can help him....

I stopped listening to his thoughts and concluded that he was worried about Captain. Though I am not 'worried' in the slightest.

We arrived outside of the tavern and I asked Ban;

"Would you like me to get the captain and Elizabeth." He shook his head and said he would only get Elizabeth and bring her outside, seeing as Diane was a giant and everyone should be present. I nodded in response and walked over to King and Diane.

Ban's POV

I watched as Gowther walked off, hoping he was wrong about Captain. Once he was out of sight, I walked into the tavern and up the stairs to Captain's room. I slowly opened the door and peeked in.

Elizabeth and the captain were still cuddling together, asleep. A wave a guilt washed over me. I didn't want to disturb their peace, especially for something like this. I decided to let them be and inform Elizabeth when she wakes up. I head out the room and back outside.

"Alright you two listen up. I have some bad news about the captain..." I said. Diane and King looked worried which only made me feel worse about the whole thing. "He...umm...i-if he snaps again...umm...he might..." I trailed off and looked up at King and Diane. Judging by the looks on their faces, they knew what I was going to say. I asked Gowther to explain everything else and he simply nodded as a response.

After the explanation Diane was in tears and King was trying his best to comfort her. Gowther stood emotionless, as usual. I ran my fingers through my hair and sighed.

Captain better come out of this mess alive

Meliodas' POV

I woke up and felt something in my arms. I look down and see Lizzie fast asleep in my arms, snuggled up against my bare chest. I blush a bit, which is uncharacteristic for me (so is using big words like uncharacteristic). She stirred a bit and opened her beautiful blue eyes...well eye her bangs are covering the other one.

"Hey Lizzie." I said drowsily. She smiled at me and said a quick hello before falling back to sleep. After a few minutes she must have actually processed what was happening because she shot up with a blush across her whole face.

"U-umm M-Meli...h-hi. I-I didn't m-mean to-" I cut her off with a small chuckle.

"It's okay Lizzie." I pulled her back into the embrace we just had and put my head on top of hers. "I like this." I could feel the heat from her blush as she, hesitantly, snuggled back into my chest.

"Meli?" I heard her mumble.

"Yes." I responded.

"H-have you ever...cared for someone so much in a certain way...it..it hurts to be cared by them in a completely different way?" I took a moment to understand her question. When I finally did I immediately thought of her and Liz. I sighed sadly and responded with;

"Yeah Lizzie, I know exactly what that's like."
