Fallen Angel - (Seven Deadly Sins x Reader)

Chapter 28

Breakfast fever

You flipped an egg in the pan, then slid the crispy bacon onto a plate and tossed it to Ban. You could hear the violent munching and grunting from the tiny pig sitting in his bowl of food.

"What is this heavenly thing! I cant stop eating!" Hawk snorted, "these are such supreme leftovers they must be from the mouth of god!"

You could here Ban laughing, his cheeks flushed from the bottle of rum in his large hand. You stuck your finger into the sauce and stuck it into your mouth, needs a little more salt.

"Angel baby" Meliodas looked up from his plate of bacon, sausages and eggs, the corners of his mouth covered in homemade barbeque sauce, "I hope your not giving Hawk all the good food".

You chuckled and threw your knife in the air, it spun several times before you caught it again, "don't worry, its just a mix of ingredients past their expiration date".

Meliodas was about to wipe his mouth on his sleeve when you shoved a hand-towel into his face, wiping the remnants of food off. The blonde sin smirked and closed his eyes while you dabbed the cloth against his lips.

"So you really are running a bar" Gilthunder said as he strode in through the tavern's front door. 

You smiled cheerfully, "Gil! Good morning!"

"Morning (Y/n)" He sat down on the barstool between Ban and Meliodas, looking at you and Meliodas with a smirk "I see your still having to do everything".

You exhaled dramatically, "I know right" you held the back of your hand up against your forehead, "I have to do so much to keep this tavern running". You threw your butter knife into the wall just next to Ban's outstretched hand as he had tried to snatch some more bacon, "don't be greedy".

"Sorry" The sin smirked, "angel baby"

You rolled your eyes and turned to walk back towards where you were cooking the omelette atop a stone furnace with a small blazing fire inside, "want something for breakfast Gil?"

"If you wouldn't mind"

"No problem" you winked at the pink-haired man and turned back to making breakfast.

Meliodas and Gilthunder began talking lightly about recent events and even shared a bottle of Vanya Ale, you stopped Ban from having any since he was already hammered. 

Your ears twitched when you heard a creak coming down the steps, you looked up to see the two Arthur's stumbling down the wooden stairs. They were both rubbing their eyes, their hair disheveled and light shirts messy, they must have had a pretty restless sleep after you left.

"Morning!" You called cheerfully. The auburn boy's smiled softly at the sound of your voice, Meliodas looked up too.

"Hi" "Hi" They both replied, at the same time. 

They both stumbled over, one slipped his arms around Meliodas' shoulders in a hug, the other went for Gilthunder, obviously mistaking him for someone else. They yawned simultaneously.

You giggled. Meliodas tapped Arthur's arm, trying to wake him from his sleepy haze, "you don't usually sleep in late Arthur, something wrong?"

"Now that you mention it" The Arthur's stood up to smack the sides of their heads lightly, "I haven't been feeling too well, had some bad dreams".

You couldn't help but feel a little guilty, was he having bad dreams after I left?

The Arthur's hurried around the counter to you so Meliodas and Gilthunder could continue their talk. You put your hand against one of their foreheads, finding it sticky with sweat and uncomfortably hot. You withdrew your arm quickly at the searing sensation, "you've got a fever, a high one too".
