King Of Snails (King x reader) [Completed]

Deep end

You had finally went to sleep, you weren't sure how long you had been sleeping for, you woke up to an extreme pain in your arm. You examined your arm. It was it's original color again, you grabbed a knife nearby stabbing your upper arm, black blood gurgled out of the wound making you clench your teeth. It was night time outside. You lit a candle and crept down stairs, you found meliodas and ban passed out drunk, even Elizabeth was passed out. Diane was sleeping but king was nowhere in sight. You gently stepped over Elizabeth and creaked open the tavern door, closing it gently behind you. You made your way up to the roof. You found king dunked into his chastiefol with a half empty bottle of ale next to him. You pushed the plush that had sealed him in the chastiefol to the side to see a wide eyed king. He jumped from the chastiefol.

"You're awake!" He said quietly. "You've been sleeping for almost three days now! Meliodas and ban were really worried, you kept mumbling things about pain and darkness."

"Really?" You pulled your jacket to the side. "I guess this was the promotion... My skin has went back to it's original color, but I still bleed black blood."

"That's nice... At least people won't be scared of it anymore." King said placing a hand on your arm and examining it.

"How drunk are you right now?" You asked.

"Not as drunk as everyone else, just drunk enough to stay awake." He said. "-and look at the stars as I think about home."

"Do you have room on the chastiefol for a very tired y/n?" You asked a smile on your face.

"Yeah." He smiled scooting over in the chastiefol. You sat down on the other side of the chastiefol.

"You know.. My adopted parents used to tell me that every star was an angel, watching over us... But what does that make the blank spaces? Would that be the demons? Or maybe those who have died?" You asked turning your head to king for a second noticing he was looking at you.

"I like the idea that it's those we've lost, because that would mean they're also watching over us." King smiled awkwardly playing off the fact he was staring at you. You twirled your double blade. "Why do you use that weapon?"

"Oh, I made it myself, it enhances the magic I use..." You smiled sadly.

"Oh? I didn't know you used any type of magic." King laughed.

"Oh, well I don't usually... But if you want to see I can show you!"

"Sure!" He smiled. You pressed a cut into king's hand with the small knife you use to sharpen the double edged blade. And then you hovered the pole that contained the blades inside it over his hand and began healing it. King looked slightly startled when his hand was completely healed. "How?"

"Lots of practice and focus, it's not easy to perform under pressure or during a battle." You laughed. "that's not all though." You expanded the blade towards an empty bottle and closed one eye, you shot it with a small bullet like ball. It took a second, you could see where the ball went through before it shattered.

"Wow.." king said. "That was really cool! It's kinda like the sacred treasures of the seven deadly sins."

"No.. I crafted it to resemble something that I thought you'd recognize from the material on the handle." You smiled. "It's like the weapons the guards in the Fairy King's forest carried around, It's for defense and not offense."
