Young Immortal Hearts

There was a massive shock of energy as the electricity left the ground. After a beat you watched a massive stream of water erupt out in the main square, down the road to you. All the people gathered around the water begin to cheer wildly while you hurried back towards the forest before someone noticed you.

Flying over to Diane's sleeping body, you landed gently beside her face before resting your hand on her burning forehead. A golden light emanating from your hand again as Diane smiles as she wakes up, "my headache's gone."

"Glad I could help" you reply, setting the basket down on the ground.

The Sin of Envy nudges the rockmelon with her index finger, "Can you peel it for me?" 

You smile and nod, moving your hand, a dagger materialises in front of you and slices the thick skin off the fruit. It falls in heavy flakes to the forest floor. As you throw it up to her, the giant catches the melon between her fingers and tosses it into her mouth.

She mumbles happily, "this is so good!"

After hours of talking, catching up, and laughing about old times, you could see Diane was starting to get tired. Her hypersomnia might be getting to her. "Maybe you should have a little nap Diane?". 

Without much prying, the brunette agreed and yawned, stretching her huge arms into the air before curling up on her side.

The sight of her looking so peaceful made you feel sleepy too, as you yawned and flew around her to snuggle into the space between her neck and ponytail. Your small body hidden from view as you ruffled your soft feathers.

Diane giggles and you cover your mouth in a yawn, then you both close your eyes... and rest.

"DIANE! DIANE! SORRY WE'VE LET A HOLY KNIGHT THROUGH AGAIN!"

You woke up quickly at the sound of the imps screaming, Holy Knight? Where? Rubbing the sleep from your eyes, the giant sits up abruptly. 

In her sleep-deprived confusion, Diane swiped up the closest figure in front of her and held it to her face, growling forebodingly, "Are you a HOLY KNIGHT?"

Moving some of her hair aside so you can poke your head out, you caught sight of a family boy in Diane's iron grip, "oh" you say, dumbstruck, "Meliodas, you're here."

The blonde boy in Diane's hands instantly snapped his head to look to you, a massive grin breaking out on his pretty face, the sound of your name on his lips filling you with butterflies once again. "You are here!" As he tries to wiggle out of Diane's grip, the giant quickly realises and hurriedly cuddles the boy into her cheek.

"OH CAPTAIN! You came for us!" Her cheeks turn into fields of pink, "it's like a dream come true!" Standing up to her full height, your wings quickly extended to balance before you sat up on her shoulder.

"Whoa who's that?" a squeal sounded out below you and you looked down to see a large pig and a young girl looking up at you. The girl looking about your age in human years, standing on the ground at Diane's feet.

Your turn your head, "the pig talks?" you mutter. Diane isn't paying attention to the sound of your voice as her eyes caught sight of the boar and she began to salivate. 

"Oh captain! You remembered how much I love roast pig!" Diane 'eep'ed and let go of the boy, who instantly made a jump for her collarbone, crawling up to sit beside you. He fixed himself with his legs split either side of her shoulder as he turned his back to the giant's head to look at your face as you smiled.

"What's been happening angel?" he says cheerfully, you pinch the end of your thumb to reduce your blush, you had forgotten the effect that nickname had on you when he said it.
