Cuts - Melizabeth (Being Re-written)

Pathetic, isn't it? (chapter 4 {Not a Troll!} )

King's POV

Ban and the Captain began to leave the forest, reminding me that I had to get back to the Boar Hat before they realised I left, if he did the Captain would probably try to make me forget.

Once I got back to the Bar I went to my room and thought about how to confront the Captain about his cuts. About thirty seconds later, I heard the door open so I flew downstairs sitting on my Spirit Spear Chastifol.

"Captain! I need to talk to you," I say as Ban and the Captain sit down.

"Yeah? What's up?" He says with a poker face.

"Privately." I say, glaring slightly at Ban. Don't know why, I just wanted to glare at Ban. Captain shrugged and hopped off of the stool he was sitting on and guided me  to his room.

When we entered I closed the door behind me.

"So what did you wanna talk about, King?" Captain asked, sitting down on his bed, motioning for me to sit next to him.

I sigh and look at him in the eyes.

"I saw it. All of it. Ban confronting you, your cuts, you healing them. Don't bother lying. Why do you?"

"What? I don't know what you're on about." The Captain lied. I glared at him.

"Captain. Tell me, now." I pressed.

"No." Captain stated.

"Tell me."

"No."

"Tell me."

"No!"

"Tell me!"

"Why do you even care, King!? What do you want so badly to dive into my issues!?"

"Cutting is serious, Captain!"

"SO WHAT!? IF I CUT, I CUT! THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT!"

"THEN WHAT THE HELL IS BOTHERING SO MUCH YOU'D SELF-HARM!?"

"IF YOU COULDN'T DIE EVEN WHEN YOU'RE SUICIDAL YOU'D PROBABLY TRY IT TOO!" Captain yelled, then quickly covered his mouth with his hands, realising what he had told me.

"What did you say?" I ask, not believing my ears.

"What I say isn't important." He said. He looked at me, as if he was about to knock me out - which he probably was - until we heard a knock on the door and a familiar princess walked in with tears in her eyes.

Elizabeth's POV

"Cutting is serious, Captain!" I heard Sir King yell.

"SO WHAT!? IF I CUT, I CUT! THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT!" Sir Meliodas screamed back as I walked up the stairs, feeling the tears in my eyes that were threatening to spill.

"THEN WHAT THE HELL IS BOTHERING YOU SO MUCH YOU'D SELF-HARM!?" Sir King yelled back.

"IF YOU COULDN'T DIE EVEN WHEN YOU'RE SUICIDAL YOU'D PROBABLY TRY IT TOO!"

I stopped listening and walked up the rest of the stairs, determined to intervene. My tears were spilling heavily as I opened the door.

"Sir Meliodas, Sir King?" I asked quietly as they both looked at me.

"I need to go." Sir Meliodas said, but I blocked the exit with my body. "Please, Elizabeth, let me through."

"No, you need to talk to Sir King, Sir Ban and the others." I say sternly. He looks at me with dull eyes.

"Elizabeth, let me through." Meliodas said, small tears appearing in his eyes.

"Sir Meliodas, you need to talk to someone, you need to talk to me." I say, lifting his chin up to make him look at me.

"Fine, but later, I need to go. We'll talk tonight." Sir Meliodas said, I nodded silently and let him pass.

"Princess! Why'd you let him go?" Sir King asked.

"He said will talk tonight, why?"

"Don't you think he'll try something!?" Sir King exclaimed, fear on his face.

"He said that we will talk, and I trust him. He just has something he has to do first," I say as I wipe what's left of my tears.

Meliodas' POV

I left the room and headed to the bathroom. Knowing Elizabeth, she'll probably check my arms, so self harm isn't really an option right now.

I locked the bathroom door then went to the other side of the room and slid down onto the floor. I wrapped my arms around my legs that were pressed against my chest and cried silently.

'I'm gonna have to talk about it. But only to Elizabeth, the others don't have to know.' I think to myself as I wipe some tears off of my cheek.

"Heh, this is pathetic, isn't it?"

Thank you for the idea queen_melascula !
