King Of Snails (King x reader) [Completed]

Hippo?

You sat in the window ceil of ban and king's room, ban was fast asleep and king was about to fall asleep. You decided you'd try what you were thinking about doing earlier. You covered your good eye and let your eye get swarmed in demon blood. You could see a dark red trail that almost looked like a scent... Everywhere. Dark shadows rising up with bright red eyes. You begun counting them when you felt a tug on your ankle there was a red shackle chained to your left ankle. You got up and went downstairs following the shackle. You didn't once think about who might be downstairs, with your luck it was just Meliodas and Elizabeth cleaning up and not Merlin or goather, not even Diane.

"Y/n?" Meliodas asked. You paused wanting to investigate more. Your shackle led outside. You looked towards meliodas to see a terrifying sight. He was clouded in a red cloud looking like the red you saw outside. You gasped out of fear and removed your hand letting your eye go back to normal. Meliodas looked slightly confused but Elizabeth hadn't experienced it yet. "What are you doing up? Weren't you tired earlier?"

"Are you hungry?" Elizabeth asked. "I think we have left overs! I know you and king weren't here to eat dinner since you were out hunting!"

"Or were they hunting? Maybe they were being scandalous...." Meliodas teased. Your face turned bright red.

"N-no!! Th-that's not it!!! We all know that king likes Diane anyways...." You shrank under your own embarrassment.

"Maybe you shouldn't be a raven, Maybe you're a baby hippo." Meliodas repeated himself from earlier in the day.

"Why do you keep calling me that?" You asked confused.

"I don't know... The title fits?" He shrugged. "Guilt the hippo sin!!"

You sighed. You looked to the door.

"Stop eye-harassing my tavern door." Meliodas said.

"Meliodas aren't you being kind of harsh on her?" King asked. "I don't know what happened but she jumped up and practically ran down here."

"I'm not being harsh on her? I'm just being real, Hippo's are extremely strong yet fearful until you break boundaries, baby hippos expect protection." Meliodas said.

"That's not what I meant." King sighed. You opened the door looking around.

"Does anyone else feel like they're every move is being watched? You asked. "Ever since this morning it feels like I'm being watched."

"Why?" Meliodas asked. "When was the last time you heard from the demon?"

"....Hmm, a while ago. Maybe he'd know something about it?" You asked.

"Is it safe to be asking that guy about what's going on?" King asked.

"Probably not... But from what I can tell he hasn't lied to me yet." You shrugged. You closed your eyes and begun focusing.

"Estarossa?" You questioned within your head. "Are you there Estarossa?"

No response.

"Dead demon!! Estarossa is a dead demon!!" You shouted hoping for a response yet to no prevail.

"He's not responding..." You said worried. You tried again with the same results. "Damn... Maybe he died."
