(Y/n) POV
"I wonder which I should get." I said to myself out loud. After the battle I definitely needed some new clothes since mine got torn to pieces, again. I'm really getting tired of this. My clothes keep getting ruined.
"Hey, (y/n), is that you!" A voice called. I turned my head to see Howzer standing right outside the store I was in. Once he saw me he walked right in. "So what are you doing?"
"I'm getting some new clothes. After everything that happened I could use it. Merlin's clothes don't really fit right."
"Oh, I see. Is it alight if I tag along?"
"Of course not. I don't mind." I smiled. "I was actually wondering which one I should get."
"Umm, this one would look nice I think." Howzer pointed.
"Alright I'll try it." I walked into the changing room to try on the outfit Howzer picked. It was simple but cute. The entire thing was white and came with a blue belt and a turtle neck. I had sky blue thigh-high socks as well as gloves and to top it all of I grabbed a pair of blue boots which matched the belt. Once I was done I stared at the mirror satisfied with my looks but wanted to change one thing so I used a hair tie to hold my hair up into a high ponytail."So, what do you think?" I asked pushing open the curtains. Howzer didn't say anything but just stare at me before finally speaking.
"It looks good. Anything would look nice on you."
"Thank you. I think I'll wear it out. Is that alright?"
I asked the worker.
"Yes, that's fine." We walked you to the counter together so I could pay but before I could take out my money Howzer put his on the counter.
"Here let me pay."
"No it's alright really. I don't need you to pay."
"Consider it an apology for assuming you plotted against the kingdom." I stared at him for a little before finally admitting defeat. Once he paid I put Merlin's clothes in a bag and walked out the store.
"You know I don't blame you for anything and I'm not mad, right."
"I know that, but I still kind of feel guilty."
"Well you shouldn't, because believe it or not, you were the first Holy Knight that didn't try to kill me and actually helped me so in that sense I owe you one."
"I helped you?" Howzer repeated confused. "When did I do that?"
"Remember back in Vaizel when I was all tiny. You could have killed me but instead you kept me safe and even offered me you're shirt. I really appreciated that by the way."
"Oh right." Howzer said blushing for whatever reason.
"So let me buy you something. Come on!" I smiled grabbing his wrist and dragging him to the ice cream parlor where I bought us both a cone. For me (f/f) flavor and for Howzer he got simple vanilla. I finished that in an instant while Howzer barely got through his cone.
"You're done already?!" He exclaimed.
"Yeah. I really should have gotten another scope." I sighed but the I got a whiff of a delicious smell. "That smell..." I turned around to find a bakery was where the smell originated from. Walking in I got a better sniff of that delicious smell. The entire place smelled sweet like cookies. I stared at the treats out in display on amazement. Everything anyone could have wanted was here. They had cookies, cupcakes, cinnamon rolls, bread, pie, and so much more. I'm pretty sure I'm drooling.
"What would you like?" The lady smiled.
"I don't even know where to start. I want... this, this, this, oh and that looks good, this too." I continued on like that and when I walked out then store I had a bag filled with different treats.
"I didn't know that you had such a sweet tooth." Howzer commented with a sweatdrop at my excited face. I grabbed a bun from my bag and plopped it into my mouth. It was so good I felt like I was in Heaven. I noticed Howzer trying to take something out of my bag but I slapped his hand away and moved my bag away from him defensively. "I can't even have one? But you have a whole bag."
"I don't care." I said childishly while hugging my bag to my chest tightly.
"Well that was unexpected." Gowther laughed.
"It's not funny." I pouted and his face turned red. "I just really like my sweets. It doesn't matter what it is cupcakes, ice cream, candy, I like it all. They're so good."
"I'm surprised you aren't fat."
"Howzer, you should know to never say that to a lady."
"Why not?"
"It's rude." Before I knew it we were back at the Boar Hat but it was definitely louder then when I left. Everyone was there, including Gilthunder, parting and getting drunk.
"(Y/n) you're back! Come drink with me!" A drunk Ban said wrapping an arm around my shoulder. He smelled like straight booze. Had he been drinking all day?
"You smell. No thank you."
"Aww, come on it's a party we have to celebrate. Come on guys bring on the drinks! My goddess needs to get drunk!!"
"Yeah!!!" Everyone cheered.
"Okay, okay. Just give me a moment." I put my bag on the ground and walked outside taking in a deep breath of clean air compared to the booze smelling tavern. It was already dark and fireworks were set off for celebration of the festival. I sat at the edge of the cliff swinging my legs back and forth while watching the fireworks.
"What's wrong, (y/n)?" Meliodas asked.
"Nothing. I just wanted to see the fireworks. There pretty aren't they?"
"Yup." Meliodas replied and that was followed by a short silence other then the sound of the fireworks exploding.
"Our journey isn't over, is it?"
"Nope. Not yet anyway." Meliodas walked over to me and sat down beside me. "Why? You scared?"
"No. Well not for me anyway. But you..." my voice became quieter and filled with sadness. "You almost died finding Hendrickson and I'm pretty sure the battles will only get worse. You're always putting yourself at risk to save others and I'm scared that one day that'll get you killed."
"I'm not going to die."
"You don't know that." Meliodas suddenly grabbed my hand clenching it tightly while staring into my (e/c) eyes. "I won't die. I promise."
"I'm holding you to that." I began covering Meliodas's hand with my other one. "Because if you die... I won't ever forgive you."
