King sat atop his pillow wondering when had it happened. There was no point in time that he could put his finger on that had been the start of these feelings.

He watched as Ban held Elaine in his arms wishing it had been him instead. King sighed as Bans eyes lit up and a smile graced his lips.

Ban could feel the eyes watching him but every time he looked up the eyes were gone. He looked back down at the girl in white and wondered when had his love started to fade.

"Hey Elaine, do you still love me ?" The words seemed so innocent and quite he could have swore no one but Elaine heard him. Unaware to him someone was listening. Elaine smiled. With a hand on Bans face she answered.

"Of course Ban with all my heart." Ban smiled but inside he felt something was wrong. Something was missing. Or maybe someone.

King wished he could escape the room he was in as Ban snored. Flying closer to Ban, King reached a hand out and let his finger tips brush Bans cheek.

"Mmm, Elaine stop." Ban grummbled out in his sleep, smiling. King furrowed his eyebrows with a scowl and pinched bans cheek. Ban jumped with a start and glared at King who still held his cheek between his fingers.

"Let go" Ban glared. The lines between Kings eyebrows got deeper as he pinched Bans cheek harder. For what ever reason King was upset and angry about being mistaken for his sister.

" You snore too loud" King said as he let go of Bans cheek. King then turned tail and went back to bed. "Idoit.." King grummbled out barely loud enough to be heard by himself.

The next morning started with a fall to the ground as Ban swung Kings hammock.

"Ow.." King cried out as tears filled his eyes. He rubbed his sore butt and glared at Ban with a pout. "What was that for!"

"That's for waking me up last night" Ban said back sticking his tongue out at the fariy king.

"Well then maybe you shouldn't snore so loud!" King said as he got off the ground and stuck his tongue out at Ban. Ban shrugged his shoulders and headed to the door. Not wanting to be out done King hopped on Chastifold and flew past Ban to block the door.

"What is it King?" Ban said hands in his pockets.

"I wanted to as-"

"You know King could you let me and Elaine have the room tonight? Just the two of us?" Ban asked completely unaware of the pain he had just inflicted on King.

The pain was sharp and long, straight through the heart.

"Y-yeah s-sure..." King said shyly as he rubbed the back of his neck trying to keep the tears from falling. Ban tilted his head to the side as he noticed the glistening of Kings eyes

' Why is he crying?' Ban thought to himself. He shrugged it off as King being a drama queen about the fall earlier. King turned around and floated down the stairs to breakfast.

"Yo what's up!" Meliodies said as he groped Elizabeth's breast.

"Good morning brother!" Elaine said and flew up to king.

" 'mornin." King said muffled by his pillow as he hugged it tight.

"And good morning to you too, Ban!" Elaine said as she wrapped her arms around Bans neck and gave him a kiss. King frowned and glared at his sister.

"Captain why does Sir King look at his sister and sir Ban with such hatred?" Gowther asked with a head tilt and a figner to his lips. King froze and his eyes went wide as he realized he'd been caught.

"I-I do-do n-not!" King yelled and felt his face go bright red. Ban looked at King with a raised eyebrows. Kings eyebrows forrowed and he flew out of the tavern.

"Did I say something wrong?" Gowther asked with confusion.

" Im not quite sure." Elizabeth said.

"Ah I'm sure he's fine. He probably just doesn't like the thought of his little sister kissing on Ban!" Meliodies said and stuck his face up Elizabeth's skirt.

"A-ah sir Meliodies!"

"YOU PERVERT!!!" hawk screamed and flew at Meliodies.

Once far enough from the tavern King found a clearing and cruled up into Chastifold. Then the tears came. Fast and hard from the earlier heartach Ban had caused.

" W-why?! Why?! Why does B-ban h-have to b-be such an idoit!!??" King cried out through the tears. "W-why does it Have t-to b-be Elaine??!!! W-why c-couldnt it have been me???!!!"

Kings sobbing got louder and louder until he swore the whole Forest could hear him and his sorrows.

"Tell me," a voice said beside him making him jump. "What sorrows could make the King of fariys cries so heartbroken."

The man had long silver hair pulled back in a low ponytail Ruby red eyes so intoxicating that they made you feel drunk. He looked so much like Ban that King could have swore he was hlucaninating. He reached out his hand, face wet from tears and touched the man face.

' Nope he was definitely real.' King said to himself as he sniffled and tried not to cry even more as he felt his heart brake at the memory of this morning.
