"What are you doing" Ban asked sarcasm clear in his tone. It was 12:56 and he was starting to get quite tired. After the excitement of finding Gowther the goat sin they had celebrated King and Elizabeth had fallen asleep on Bans' bed and he was now sharing with the captain. After 8 drinks Meliodas had been quite drunk.

"I.. clen.. tbl. ub" Meliodas mumbled, you could smell the alcohol a mile away. He was bumping and stumbling round tables with a cloth in his hand.

"Mabe you should go to bed captain" Ban grinned as Meliodas half fell half collapsed onto the wooden bench.

"Nooooooooo" Meliodas slushed, his tone slurred and quite loud. Resembling a child in a toy shop being told no.

"You're such a child" Ban sighed watching Meliodas reply by pouting. It did look cute though.

"ok, come on were going to bed" Ban sighs while walking over to his captain, Meliodas' eyes were already drooping. Ban carefully picked Meliodas up by the armpits and placed him on his hip like a child. A yawn came from the small boy in Ban's arms and rested his head on the broad shoulder. Ban smiled town at the adorable sight ( even though he would never admit it)in his arms. Making his way up the steep stairs of The Boar Hat he felt Meliodas tense up in his arms, Ban sensed Mel was uneasy and placed a soothing hand down his back. Meliodas reacted instantly, relaxing into the soothing arms that held him close.

Opening the wooden door they were greeted with a small room lit by a flickering candle on a dresser near the bed it painted shadows on the wall yet seemed to chase darkness away. Ban lowered Meliodas onto the bed, taking a moment to watch him snuggle into the pillow. Ban slipped off his shoes and socks placing them beside the bed and pulled his shirt off and dumped that on the ground too. Pulling back the covers he slid in and pulled Meliodas with him shutting his eyes he felt content but quickly awoke when a small lump buried in his chest, peering down at the small tuft of blonde hair pressed to his chest he let a genuine smile preach his lips. Wrapping an arm around the smaller body he sighed, content with where Ban was.

"Goodnight little one" Ban whispers finally shutting his eyes

"You're going to have one hell of a hangover tomorrow."

How was it?

I'm new at this and it is my first one. I like one shots like this with Ban and Meliodas. Tell me if you want more and give suggestions, from time to time I will write these stories so keep an eye out. ENJOY.
