Melizabeth One Shots

Always

   "Meliodas?" I looked around, my silver hair whipping into my eyes from the wind. I surveyed the landscape, there was forest all around me. "Meliodas, where are you?!" I yelled so loud that my voice grew raspy. I had been searching for him for a while. Ever since he had walked out of the Boar Hat, actually. Ban and I were talking when we heard the door open and someone walking outside. Meliodas had rushed out without saying anything. I assumed that I would be able to catch up to him but he was nowhere in sight. He had seemed off all night but I couldn't place my finger on it, and I couldn't find him either.
   "Princess? Is that you?" I heard a voice say, it sounded familiar. Soon enough, Arthur emerged from the forest. A smile gracing his lips.
   "Why, yes. King Arthur, have you seen Sir Meliodas?" I asked him. I was beginning to get scared.
   "Actually, I have. Last time I saw him he looked like he was heading back to the Boar Hat from town. Why?" Arthur looked at me quizzically. I smiled.
   "He ran out earlier. As long as he is safe then I am fine. Would you like to accompany me back to the bar, King Arthur?" He nodded his head and we set off.

Time skippppp
  
   "Elizabeth! Where have you been?" Sir Meliodas looked at me, concern on his face.
   "Well, I was just out looking for you, I searched for so long. I couldn't find you anywhere. What were you doing?" Giving him a once over I didn't notice anything peculiar about his appearance. No cuts or bruises that weren't there before. Meliodas just shook his head and took a swig of his beer.
   "No need to worry, I'm back now. That's what matters," He chuckled and went to wash his cup out behind the counter.
   Arthur spoke up since the first time we'd arrived. "Uhm, Sir Meliodas? What were you doing though? I noticed you in town. You hardly ever go out nowadays."
   "Like I said, don't worry about it." Meliodas sounded serious that time.
   "Okay," Arthur sounded like a wounded puppy. I couldn't help but feel bad for him. I also wondered why Meliodas was being so secretive.
   " Sir Meliodas? Will you come upstairs with me for a minute?" He nodded and we walked upstairs, leaving Ban and Arthur to chat.
   Once we reached the top of the staircase I gently pulled Meliodas into a room.
   "Are you okay? You seem sad," I reached out to grab his hand but he stepped back.
   "I'm fine. Is that all you wanted to talk to me about?" He looked down at the ground and I saw him balling his fists.
   "Please, don't lie to me. I want to help you. I wa-"
   Meliodas cut me off, "If you're done bothering me, I'd like to go downstairs. There's nothing you could do anyways." He turned to go but I grabbed his hand and spun him around.
   "Don't push me away, please." I pulled him into an embrace and I felt my blouse get wet. I was confused at first but then I realized that he was crying. I held onto him tighter and walked over to the bed. "Please, tell me what's hurting you."
   He took a deep breath and pulled himself together, "Today was Liz and I's anniversary. We made it official on this day, I went to visit her grave. I'm sorry I didn't tell you, I'm sorry," I saw a tear fall down his face and soon I was crying as well. I cried for his loss, I couldn't imagine the pain he felt. But I could try to help him.
   "Sir Meliodas, I never knew her. But I do know that she would want you to be happy. So maybe take today and use it as a way to reflect on all the good times you had together. Both she and I want the best for you. I know that for sure." I smiled at Meliodas and he hugged me again. I wrapped my arms around him and we just sat there. We sat for as long as he needed. I  smoothed his hair and rubbed his back and he held onto me until the pain of his loss died down. It might've been dull but it would always be there, and so would I.
