A sick day

She's so clumy!

It was just another workday at the Boar Hat. The princess was working hard and trying even harder not to break any plates. She was getting better at this every day but she was still clumsy and occasionally she would trip over a leg of a chair or over a leg of a customer. Meliodas enjoyed watching her work awkwardly. It was fun seeing her getting shy and embarrassed about her behavior and he loved to see her blush. Sometimes he could even be her hero and catch her from falling and incidentally touch her bosom.

In the late evening the customers seemed to be leaving. The blond, young looking boy, who was the owner of this bar, called it a day and closed the bar for tonight. Only some cleaning was left to do.

Pleased with the amount of money they earned, Meliodas wiped the bar clean.
"Today was a good day" announced the princess as she approached the owner.
"Yes, we made quit some money, so we can buy you some nice clothes the next time we go shopping!" Elizabeth waved her hand. "You don't need to buy me anything" she protested but Meliodas insisted. He wanted to go out with the princess once in a while and spend some time alone with her. Also he loved how she beamed with joy when she tried on new clothes. She was a princess and a girl after all. The blond had his romantic reasons but there was something that he wanted to see even more than just cute dresses and it was cute panties. He would be able to chose some nice ones for her, if they go there together.

In his dream he would walk her to a store and Elizabeth would fold her hands and her eyes would shine when she finds out that its a lingerie store. She would gladly grab Meliodas hand and run inside the shop to chose some sexy and cute panties. She would smile and ask him which one she should try on. Of course she would show all of them to him as soon as she wore them.
But that was only a fantasy. No way this could ever happen.

"Are you still there, Sir Meliodas?" Meliodas woke up from his day dream and saw a purple blouse just in front of him. He focused on what would hide behind this piece of clothing and grabbed the bosom.
"Still there" he announced as he explored the hidden treasure. He wouldn't dare to unbutton it, though.
The princess blushed but didn't resist her counterpart.

Why does Meliodas always do this to me... he could do this to any other girl but he chose me and even refused to touch Diane.
And why am I not resisting at all?

The princess suddenly shrugged back leaving Meliodas hands lonely.
"I was just checking if your pulse was alright, you had a rough day after all. But all fine!" he showed her a thumb up and made the princess to sweatdrop a little. Who would believe him such a story anyway. Well maybe she wanted to believe, a little bit at least.

"I will go and get some fresh water, our water supply will soon be empty" said the blond as he stood up from his stool. He searched for some suitable buckets.
"I will help you, Sir Meliodas"
The princess grabbed her own bucket as Meliodas found them. He couldn't even disapprove of her action as her mind was already made up.
"Thank you" he said and smiled at her.

Both of them left the bar and went to a nearby river. They needed this water only for cleaning some dirty dishes so this should be enough.
The blond filled his buckets full with water and hold one in each hand. Whereas the girl only filled one bucket and tried to carry it with both of her hands.
"Elizabeth, that must be uncomfortable, you should carry it only with one hand. This would be easier"
The girl tried but failed miserably. She couldn't even lift it the slightest.
"This is too heavy for one hand" she replied.
"Then just make the bucket half full, don't overdo yourself"
Instead of listening to his words, she saw it as a kind of competition. It would hurt her pride to carry only a half filled bucket. So she ignored the elders warning and continued to carry the bucket with both hands.
Walking wasn't easy with the bucked jiggling against her legs but she didn't want to give up. She made small steps but tried to hold Meliodas pace.
The Sin payed attention to the girl next to him and looked over from time to time. She was blowing out her checks as she tried to concentrate on her little steps and not to wiggle the bucket to much, otherwise the water would spill. The sight amused Meliodas and he tried to hold back his grin.

The Boar Hat was hard to reach whereat the river was easy to reach. The problem was the bluff bank to the river. It was very steep and even without anything heavy to carry, a normal person would be out of breath as soon as they reached the bar. Certainly not a problem for Meliodas, the Dragons Sin of Wrath.

He had a gawp at Elizabeth again only to see that she was still struggling. There was still a long way to go but she gave her best. But the second Meliodas looked ahead again he heard a tumble, a splash and a scream. He swung around to find his lovely princess on the ground, completely soaked.
He placed the buckets and ran towards the princess, offering her a hand.
"Elizabeth..."
She took it and tried to avoid his face. She just knew what kind of look he had. His I-told-you-so look. Indeed he was smiling and even laughing a little.
"Are you hurt?" he asked gently though.
"I'm fine" she replied as she took his hand, that reached out for her. He helped her up.
"How did it come to this?" asked Meliodas as he took a close look at the princess and her wet clothes. With his finger on his lips he examined every see-through part of her clothing.
"I tripped over something and the bucked was in my way, so I couldn't keep my balance..." she confessed embarrassed.

After examining her well, he started to undress.
"Princess, take off your wet clothes, otherwise you'll catch a cold. I will lend you my shirt"
The princess blushed crimson red. No way she would undress here. There were no trees to hide behind and Meliodas was there as well.

"No, I cant!" she almost yelled and held one hand in another in front of her breasts.
"But you will catch a cold" said the blond worried.

"No, trust me, Ill be fine!" she said and pretended to be sure about this, but the cold breeze that has been there the whole day already, didn't vanish just yet.

"If you are really sure, Elizabeth... just be careful, and if you get too cold, let me know. I can also keep you warm in some other ways" he said and winked. Elizabeth blushed even redder and again she wondered why Meliodas loved to tease her so much!
"I don't think that this will be necessary!" she hissed and started to walk in front of Meliodas with her empty bucket.
