Reunited

This Is Why We Are Friends

- Elizabeth's Pov -

After dealing with the housing people (Who was not happy that I had given up my tenancy less than a week of being there) I grabbed a load of boxes from Tesco and me and Meliodas went back to mine.
"Last time we had this many boxes, We made a box fort" Meliodas chuckled.
"Didn't Ban torch that thing?" I tilted my head.
"Oh God, I remember your Mum having to heal my leg when it caught on fire" Meliodas wiggled his leg in the air. I laughed as I threw my books in a box "Is it worth labelling anything or what?"
"Well, I don't need any furniture about from my bedroom stuff. So no not really"
"We can take the sofas. This is way fancier than mine" Meliodas patted the fabric corner sofa and cuddle chair.
"Why? What you got?" I folded my arms.
"Some crappy leather thing that should have been thrown out months ago. My house is a kind of a bachelor pad"
"So you never had a girl there?" I taped off the books box.
"Any girlfriend I got, Dumped me because I went looking for you every time I got a lead" Meliodas shrugged as he taped another box up "Oh by the way. We are taking all this. At least the front room will look nice"
"What colour are the walls? Do we need to paint it?" I quizzed "So how many girlfriends have you had?"
"Walls are white so no painting and 2" Meliodas held two fingers up.
"2?"
"Just the 2"
"How is it 2? Have you seen you?" I replied. I could feel my face burning "Why the hell did I say that!?!?"
"What about me?" Meliodas looked over his shoulder.
"I'm biased because you are my best friend but you are handsome and adorable" I kept my back to Meliodas.
"Aww, Thank you. What about you? Anyone special in your life?" Meliodas stuttered on the first part of that sentence.
"No. I couldn't bring myself to get close to anyone" I sighed "Mainly because I wanted to be with you" I thought.
"But you are drop-dead gorgeous and kind and caring. Who wouldn't want you?" Meliodas blurted out. I spun around to face him. Meliodas's face was tomato red "Sorry. Kinda spoke without thinking"
"It's fine" We shared a glance "So urm. I'm going to start packing up the kitchen. Are we taking the appliances? Or is your kitchen good enough?" I grabbed a load of boxes and tape.
"Recently remodel. Zeldris broke the cooker and also blew the microwave up" Meliodas made an explosion with his fingers.
"How the fuck do you blow up a microwave?"
"He wanted to melt some chocolate spread. Do not put the jar in the microwave" Meliodas lifted some boxes to the door "Ban might need them though. I'll go and ring him. Be right back" I nodded as Meliodas left the room. Why did my heartbeat so much when he looked at me? Surely he doesn't feel that way about me?

It only took a few hours to pack up my stuff. Meliodas said he would get Ban and King to move my stuff tomorrow while we were meeting up with Bard and the others. I can't believe that Zhivago is possibly my Father. We had only just walked out the door and were making our way to The Boar Hat.
"I wonder what the guys chose to watch in the end?" Meliodas put both his arms behind his head "King choose last week, Diane the week before so it's either Elaine or Ban's choice tonight"
"Who do you think will win the toss" I hold my own hand.
"Ban. Elaine gives in to his every whim. But that means next week that we will be watching Lucifer. Oh but that means getting Amazon Prime"
"What's wrong with Prime?"
"I'll admit that next-day delivery is awesome but Amazon kept taking money out of my account every week. So I deactivated it" Meliodas huffed.
"I have Amazon Prime. They don't take money out of mine but then again, I don't put bank details on it. So you can always use mine" I offered.
"This is why we are friends. You have things I don't" Meliodas grinned.
"So Grown-up talk now. How much rent am I paying?" I folded my arms. Meliodas halted in his steps.
"I didn't think about that. Well since you have already agreed to work at my Bar. How about no rent but you buy takeaway once a week"
"Is that because you're too lazy to work out a percentage?"
"Maybe. So what do you say? Do we have a deal?" Held his hand out.
"As long as I get to pick the takeaway then yes. We have a deal" I shook it.
"As long as we can have Chinese once a month, I got no complaints" Meliodas shrugged as we kept our hands locked. The Boar Hat was now in sight.
"I love Chinese takeaway. How do you feel about Thai food?" I narrowed my eyes at Meliodas. His face lit up.
"I love their green curry! Ever been to Wagamama's?"
"Nope but I have been meaning to try it. Every time I walk past, My mouth waters" I did the homer thing where he drools. Meliodas pulled a face so I burst out laughing. This caused Meliodas to start laughing "What?"
"I forgot what your laugh sounded like. I have missed it. It was always so contagious" Meliodas panted as he walked up the ramp leading to the Boar Hat's door. He barged through the door.

The downstairs of the Tavern had a large white cloth and a projector. There were 3 oversize bean bags and King's pillow, These were scattered around the floor. The bar was covered in sacks and drinks. Meliodas stopped in the middle of the floor where he and Ban caught each other's eyes.
"BAN!"
"CAPTAIN!" They flew at each and did a load of high-fives.
"Oh dear god. You two still do this" I groaned as I walked over to Diane and Elaine "I take it some things never change?"
"Nope," The girls shook their heads.
"So what are we watching?" I lent my arm on the bar.
"The Witcher" Elaine blushed slightly. Meliodas was right. Elaine gave in. Both boys dropped to the floor and started to arm wrestle.
"HA! That 377 to 376 to me!" Ban cheered as he stood over Meliodas. Ban walked over to us and kissed Elaine on the cheek to near enough melted into her chair.
"You are only winning by one!" Meliodas groaned from the floor "But I think you may have broken my arm" Meliodas climbed up onto his knees. His right clutched to his chest.
"Let me see" Ban ordered as Meliodas showed him his arm. It was bent funny. Ban turned to us all "Urm. Netflix night is cancelled. Need to get this one to a hospital"
"Fuck off. I ain't going to no hospital. They have needles there!" Meliodas hopped away from Ban. Ban chased him around the Tavern.
"Get back here!" Ban pointed to the floor.
"Nope. I would rather chop my arm off" Meliodas insisted.
"Still a baby" I sighed as I pinched my nose "Allow me" I turned my powers on and raised my left hand, Aiming it towards Meliodas. He tilted his head at me. Soon he was engulfed in bright light as his arm snapped back into place.
"Thanks" Meliodas ran his hand over his arm.
"Hey. That has to be the handiest powers ever" Ban awed.
"You do the same thing with your blood" King pointed out.
"Yeah but mine is gross and I need to cut my hand for it to work" Ban pointed to his hand.
"Okay, Point taken. Now can we The Witcher" King clapped his hands together.

We were now on the 3rd episode of the Witcher. King and Diane had fallen asleep on King's floating pillow thing. Elaine was curled up on Ban's lap and Ban, Well he was passed out drunk.
"So this happens every week?" I whispered to Meliodas. I leaned my head on his shoulder as he wrapped his arm around me.
"Pretty much. We all just crash out here. I'm normally the last one awake so I wake this lot and we all head upstairs to sleep"
"How is there room for you all?"
"There are 3 rooms. Ban and Elaine sleep on the first floor and King and Diane sleep top floor. They get the balcony just in case Diane forgets her pills again and needs to escape quickly and my room is next to the storage room" Meliodas sighed.
"Why did you lot never move in here?"
"Because of Ban. If we stay longer than one night, He likes to play pranks. Drawing on faces with markers. He once did King's makeup" Meliodas chuckled.
"Was it any good?" I lifted my head up and stared at Meliodas "I could get lost in his eyes"
"Actually yeah. King didn't notice till we left for a supply run that morning. He got so many looks" I giggled as Ban started snoring "Come on. As much as I don't want to move from this spot. We gotta get this lot to bed"
"I take it you won't let me walk back to the flat?" I raised an eyebrow.
"Do I even need to answer that?"
"Then where am I going to sleep?" I sat up.
"With me"
