First feelings

Move in

-Meliodas POV-

"I-it's m-my father." I said.

"He abuses you, is that it?" He asked. That made me look at him shocked.

"H-how d-did you k-know?" I asked.

"Elizabeth told me. That is what actually happened to your stomach, right?" Bartra asked. I nodded slowly.

"I'm scared he will abuse Elizabeth too." I said. Then he patted my head.

"You're a good boy Meliodas. I will try to help, okay?" He suggested. I nodded. He was so kind. Then a knock on the door was heard.

"Come in." Bartra said. The door opened and Elizabeth walked in. A small smile spread across my face.

"I will leave you two alone." Bartra said and walked out of the door, closing it after him. It was first then I saw Elizabeth's bag.

"Oh, it's that day already?" I asked. She nodded.

"I'm so sorry for this. I mean, I know you don't like me and... and..." She said. I walked up to her.

"Elizabeth..." I said. She looked at me. I froze for a small second.

"I can help you with your bag." I said and took it out of her hand. She looked down again while I placed the bag at the bed.

"Come here." I said and sat down on the bed. She walked up to sit beside me on the bed when I pulled her on my lap instead. Before she could react, I kissed her.

It didn't take long before she kissed me back.

"I love you Elizabeth." I whispered after we separated.

"I love you too." She said and took her hands on my chest. To my luck, it wasn't a broken ribbon where she sat them.

"I'm also sorry if I made you sad or worried." I apologised. Then she hugged me.

"I'm so happy!" She said. I chuckled and hugged her back. Then we both fell backwards in the bed, making Elizabeth on top of me. We both looked at each other and smiled.

Then I remembered something.

"Elizabeth, please, don't tell anyone else about the abuse." I said.

"I haven't told anyone about it." She said.

"But your father said that you told him about it and me." I said.

"When?" She asked.

"Right before you walked in." I said.

"But I come here alone, my father was too busy to come with me." She said.

"But you saw him walk out, didn't you?" I asked.

"No. He is at home." She said.

"But then who was it?" I asked.

"It was your father that walked out of here when I come." She said. Father? What did he do?! How did he do?!

I rolled over to my side so that both me and Elizabeth laid down in the bed. Then I used my elbow to stand on.

"We need to find out what is going on." I said. She laid down, looked at me while nodding. Then I placed my free hand on her waist and pulled her close.

"But first..." I said. Elizabeth looked me in the eyes.

"Y-yes?" She asked.

"We should pack up your things." I said she nodded and we both sat up in the bed. My stomach started hurting and I took both my hands on it.

"Meliodas? Are you okay?!" She asked.

"Y-yes, let's get this started." I said and stood up. She nodded and we both started unpacking her things. Placing it little all over the room. Elizabeth watched me the whole time.

"I'm fine Elizabeth, I promise." I said and in the just same second, I fell to the floor. Why would I need to do that?!

She ran to me immediately.

"You are not fine." She said and helped me to the bed. Then she laid me down in the bed and took her hand on my cheek.

"Meliodas, don't overdo things. You will get better soon. I will be with you the whole time." She said and sat down beside me. I turned to lay in a more comfortable position while she sat my head in her lap.

"Elizabeth?" I asked.

"Yes?" She asked.

"Your father, does he treat you good?" I asked.

"Yeah, he is kind to me and let me do things, but he is nearly never home." She answered.

"Do you ever miss him?" I asked.

"Yeah, I did the whole time before." She said.

"Before?" I asked.

"Yeah, but now I have you." She said. I smiled.

"You are so kind Elizabeth." I said. She looked down at me with a smile.

"You are kind too." She said.

"I love you." I said.

"I love you too." She said. Then we just stayed quiet for a small while.

"Meliodas?" She asked.

"Yes?" I asked.

"Let's stay together forever." She said.

"Yeah." I said and I sat up. Then we both slowly leaned in to kiss, but was interrupted by a knock.

"Meliodas, it's lunch. Your father also wants to talk to you after it." Zeneri said.

"We are on our way." I said while we both stood up. Elizabeth walking beside me while I held my stomach.

"You really should go to the hospital." Elizabeth said.

"I'm fine." I said. We walked out of the room and to the dining room. Father wasn't there, to our luck. We ate alone, talking until Zeneri come.

"Your father wants to talk to you now." She said. I nodded and stood up.

I wonder what he want and... how much I will be beaten up this time.
