The Demon's Lover (Meliodas)

Chapter 16

Ayano whines as she opened her eyes, she held her hand above her to shield her eyes from the light. She could hear a commotion downstairs, she slowly stood up and walked out of her room. Ayano went down the stairs to see the sins around the Boar Hat setting up, she could hear the stove going and the smell of food was in the air.

"Ban's leftovers are so great!" she hears a familiar voice say with a mouth full "What is it?! What is thissss?!!! I don't even have time to stop and breathe! Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?! If I had to describe the taste, it would be Supreme Leftovers Fallen From The Mouth Of God!"

As Ayano reached the bottom of the stairs she sees a miniature Hawk inside a large bowl filled with food scraps.

"H-Hawk!" Ayano shouts surprised "You're alive!"

"Ayano" Ban looks over from behind the counter

"Hey everyone Ayano's awake!" Hawk shouts

The other sins stop what they're doing and run to the stairs.

"Ayano!" they shout as they hug her

"H-Hey guys" Ayano says surprised

"We were so worried when you suddenly collapsed" Diane tells her

"yeah you scared us" King agrees

Ayano looked around at them surprised

"What's with the surprised look?" Meliodas chuckles "they're your family, of course they were worried about you"

"Really?" Ayano looks at them "even after what you saw?"

"Well we kinda already knew you were a demon" Ban tells her "your eyes used to glow red occasionally when you were angry"

"I thought you guys all hated demons" Ayano says nervously

"Well while demons might not be our favorite race" King shrugs "we know you, you've been our companion for years"

"You haven't done anything to make us hate you" Diane smiles "You might be moody some times and tease us a lot, but you have a kind heart"

Ayano's eyes water "thank you, everyone"

"Don't cry dummy" Ban pats her head "you should've known this by now"

"I'm not crying!" Ayano shouts and rubs her eyes

The sins all laugh and Meliodas hugs her.

"So, are you still mad at me?" Meliodas asks her

"I think.." Ayano smiles "you can come out of the dog house now"

"Yes!" Meliodas cheers before grabbing her boobs "ahh, they're still perfect"

"you little perv" Ayano sighs

"You love me" Meliodas smirks

"yes, yes I do" Ayano giggles

"Captain" Diane glares at him "you can remove your hands now"

"hmm" Meliodas squeezes Ayano's boobs and her face turns red

"Meli!" Ayano shouts

Meliodas chuckles and hugs her "I'm just teasing you dear"

"Idiot" Ayano says annoyed

The tavern door opens and Gilthunder walks in "So you really do run a bar!" He looks around with a smile on his face before seeing the sins "Ayano is awake, that's great!"

"Hey Little Gil" Ayano greets

"Welcome" Meliodas turns to him and places his arm around Ayano's waist
