Human in the underworld

Like her

-Elizabeth's POV-

When Meliodas had introduced himself to the demons, he walked back to me.

"Y-you are t-the n-next demon king?!" I asked. He took a hand, rubbed his neck and then asked "Should have told you, huh?"

"N-no, you don't need to tell me if you don't want to, I was just surprised." I said. He nodded.

"So want to go somewhere else to talk? It is pretty many people talking. It will get hard to hear each other." Meliodas said. I nodded and we walked away a bit from the crowd.

"Hey, you think you could show me your demon mark? I would like to see it." He said. With a little panic, I said "S-sorry, I don't r-really like to show i-it to people."

"But I think you would be beautiful in it." He said.

"No, I don't like it." I said. He nodded and let go of it. Then we started talking about our lives and intereses. Of course, I needed to lie about many things. We had really fun together anyway.

"He really did that?" I asked. He nodded and said "Yeah, it was even one time he accidentally walked in to the meeting with a bucket over his head too."

"How did he do that?" I asked, giggling.

"Me and Zeldoris have a pranking contest. The best to prank the other wins. I made a prank that when he walked out, a bucket with ice cold water fell on him when he walked through the door." He started.

"He fell for it and suddenly, a maid come and told him father wanted to talk to him. He tried to get the bucket off his head, but it had stuck and he didn't have a choice then to go wet and with a bucket on the head to the meeting." Meliodas said.

"That's hilarious." I said and giggled. He nodded and slowly walked closer to me. What was he gonna do? Why is he keeping getting closer?

"I know. I just love to prank him." He said as he walked a bit closer to me.

"But it is other things I love too and I think I just found a new." He said, turning to a whisper in the end and leaning closer to me. He placed his hands gently on my forearms and continued leaning in slowly. What is he doing?!

"And what is that?" I whispered back. He closed his eyes and continued to lean in. What is he doing?! Wait, don't tell me...?! No, he won't ri-

My thoughts was cut off by his lips on my. I was stunned, but it didn't take long before he let go and backed away from me.

"S-sorry, that was too soon." He said and rubbed the back of his neck. All gods that exist, I beg to you, please help me out of this awkwardness.

"I-I-" I stuttered, but was cut off by mom. Thank god.

"Elizabeth!" She yelled. I looked behind me to see mom and dad walking toward us. I turned back around to see Meliodas looking at me with a small smile.

"I should go." I said and was about to go when Meliodas grabbed my hand.

"Wait, can we meet again? Like tomorrow?" He asked. I just answered with "I don't know if I can."

"Think about it. Please meet me at the castle gate tomorrow at 6 pm if you want to." He said. I nodded and he let go of me. Then I walked to mom and dad.

"Who was that boy?" Mom asked as we walked back. The festival was over and everyone was walking home at this point.

"Just someone I meet today." I said. Then dad asked "How old is he? What's his name?"

"He is around his 1800. His name is Meliodas." I said, hoping they won't ask if it was the crown prince.

"Do you like him?" Mom asked. Stuttering, I answered with "N-No! Not that way!"

"So, do you know who the crown prince is? We was looking after you the whole time, so we missed it." Dad then said.

"Oh, I don't know. I was lost then." I lied. I was very good at lying after doing that my whole life. We continued walking, I got questions about Meliodas the whole way, to my luck, it didn't take long before I arrived.

-Meliodas POV-

I walked home after Elizabeth walked home with her parents. I dropped in my bed and took an arm over my eyes.

"I'm so stupid!" I said to myself. Then I rolled over to my stomach and laid my face in my pillow.

"She will never like me back now. I don't even think she will come tomorrow. Not after I kissed her." I mumbled in my pillow. Suddenly, the door bust open, my father walking in with pride.

"Did I hear what I think I heard?" He asked. I looked at him confused as he walked over to the bed and sat at the end of it.

"Heard what? I didn't say anything." I tried to avoid him. It didn't work. I'm not good at lying and he knew that. He answered with "Did I just hear you kissed someone? Even better, like someone?"

"No- yes. You heard right." I said, making him ask "So what's the problem? Your old man will tell you everything he knows."

"I meet this girl today at the festival and we talked a-" I was cut off by father asking "Did she laugh or giggle?"

I nodded and continued "We laughed and giggled very much. We talked about ourselves, our lives and a bit of everything-" once again, I was cut off.

"What is she like? The opposite or do you have things in common?" Father asked. I said "We have pretty much in common."

"Love at first sight and things in common. That's the best type of love. That was the same as me and your mom had." Father said.

"You are separated because she doesn't like you anymore." I said. Then he laughed one second and looked at me seriously the other.

"Listen to me Meliodas. What you need to do is try to be her friend, but show you want to be even more then friends. Bomb her with gifts that she would like and do every order she gives you. Compliment her, make her feel like a real queen and when she gives any sign of wanting to be more then friends, kiss her and ask her out." Father said.

"Will that really work?" I asked.

"You are here right now, right?" He asked. I nodded. He continued with saying "Isn't that proof enough for you?"

"Guess it is." I said. He nodded and walked out of here. I could always try it.
