Hey Guys! Thanks for reading my first, and hopefully not last fanfiction. I just started watching the show a bit ago, and was shocked by the lack of stories available. SO I decided to write one. A gay ship one too. Thanks for reading!

King was terrified. He had never in his life been more terrified than now as Ban stood over him, smiling, staring at the now powerless King

Just about a day earlier, King had been traveling with the rest of the seven, minus Merlin and Escanor, and was perfectly comfortable with them. Elizabeth and Hawk were around King, pinching his cheeks for the thousandth time. He could usually switch to his older form, but today, for some reason, he could'nt muster the magical power. However, he did notice Ban looking a bit more uncomfortable around him than normal. King was very confused why, as he wanted Elaine to be happy, so they could get along. But it seemed every time king approached Ban, he would find an excuse to get away. Suddenly the captain walked in, and kings cheeks went bright red. He tried to trick himself into thinking he liked Diane, but he just couldn't manage it forever. Ever since he finally realized this the captain had his heart.

"Alright guys, it seems the next town up is having a bit of a ghost problem"

"This isn't going to be like that stupid Capital of the Dead, right?" Diane asked, not too fond of the memory of the captain refusing to show her any affection.

"Lets sure hope not, I thought Guila was done for the last time we saw her."

King continued to look down, continuing to feel a lack of magical power. Suddenly, he doubled over and fainted.

He woke up with the captain looking over him, looking very worried.

"H-hey M-M-Meliodas." King said, trying to look away to hide his flushed cheeks.

"Elizabeth said that she sensed a lack of magical power in you."

King tried to change back into his older form, but found himself unable. He suddenly felt that that form had vanished from his magic altogether. Suddenly, King found himself unable to do anything but cry. He sat like that for only about 3 seconds before he felt himself enveloped in a hug from Meliodas. He was so surprised he started crying much more. Meliodas started crying with him too.

"C-c-c-c'mon King. We need to get to town. Maybe we'll find something else about some popular towns to set up the bar."

King got up, wiping the tears from his eyes, but had a slight happiness in his step. He had wanted to get close to Meliodas for a long time. He felt that they had a new bond.

"Alright guys, ghosts are all over the twon se we'll have to split up. "

King thought that he would be paired with Meliodas, but he ended up being paired with Ban, who started protesting, but was quickly silenced by Meliodas. Meliodas ended up being paired with Gowther, and Diane, Hawk, and Elizabeth stayed at the bar in case any visitors came by. They walked to the front of the town and met the residents, who explained the situation and told them to please eradicate the ghosts as soon as possible. King headed to the left side of the town, deserately trying to catch a last glimpse of Meiodas before he disappeared.

King tried to make light converstaion, but was mostly ignored by Ban. They eventually came to a house with a large upstairs and headed inside. King was terrified out of his mind, but he flew alongside Ban, who led him to the attic. As soon as he entered the attic, he felt his mind go numb, as he felt instense magic draining coming from his body. He fell to his knees, with no magic power left.

" King, King, King. You beleive that you have a chance at surviving us alone, with you having no magical power? Your precious little Elaine can't stop me now."

As King felt the last of his magic leave him, he curled into a ball as Ban ripped a board from the ground.

"Looks like the forests king won't be much of a king after I'm done with him."

King gave up on his last resistance and decided to give in.

"I've waited until we were alone, just to spare poor little Meliodas. I know he would die without having you around."

Ban started slashing the plank around, which gave King enough time to make himself faint by holidng his breath.

"No matter, just less noise to attract the others here." Ban said, preparing his final bow.
