1*According to Wikipedia "Gigantism is a rare disorder that results from increased growth hormone levels before the fusion of the growth plate. Which typically occurs at some point after puberty and is most often due to abnormal tumor growth on the pituitary gland." DO NOT WORRY FOR THOSE WHO GUESS WHO HAS THIS, they have stopped growing by the age of 15 at a whopping 7" Feet and all with minimal health problems as far as the doctors are concerned for them they only have a mild case of it and are just really tall. PS I do not know if this is an actual possibility as I am not a medical expert in the subject.

2* Honestly this is a stupid name that randomly popped into my head and it stuck. I couldn't come up with a better one but if any of you have one please inform me and I will make a change later on in the story.

OH! AND I DON'T OWN JACK FUCKING SHIT THANK YOU VERY MUCH

ENJOY!

Forbidden chapter 2

Song: Rhythm Of Your Heart by Marianas Trench

The morning after the duo left town was eventful. Veronica, Elizabeth's second oldest sister, was the one who found her room empty with just a single letter addressed to the family. In it Elizabeth wrote of all the troubles she was dealing with, the fact that she couldn't have two seconds alone without someone asking what she was doing, the fact that she couldn't have a say of who she marries, that she had no free will with her life, all of these were written down in the letter. Veronica had ran out of the room in a panic to her father and older sister.

"She left!" she had exclaimed out of breath from her running.
"Who left? Elizabeth? Not possible…" Baltra said in shock, he couldn't believe that his subdued youngest daughter would leave her precious home. Meanwhile Margaret had taken the note from her shaking sister's hands and began to read it, realization making its way to her face.

"Um…father?" Margaret said, brushing a piece of indigo colored hair out from in front of her face, when her father turned to her she began "Veronica is telling the truth, as I have been telling you for years. Elizabeth has had enough of your coddling and rules, and as such she had ran away."

"I made those rules for a reason Margaret, you know that." Baltra defended himself flimsily.

"Yes, I do know that. But it's because of those rules that she felt suffocated and lonely. That she thought that her life was only for your benefit. It's stated in the letter that she felt like doll, not having a choice in her own life, and because of that we have lost her."

Baltra was silent, he knew that he was extremely overprotective of his youngest, and that was only because she was his baby. When she started talking to Meliodas Gore that was the last straw, he saw his baby becoming interested in the "bad boy" he over reacted and began to become strict in her upbringing.

"Veronica, call up your chief, we need to begin a search for Elizabeth. Even if it gets us nowhere. Margaret call up Gilthunder, Howzer, and Griamore, we need them here to go over the grounds with the police."

Veronica immediately did as her father asked her too, her short violet hair swaying from her speed to dial her chief. Margaret doing the same as she looked at her father with concern and slight disdain, she did in some small way blame both her sister and father for Elizabeth's actions. Never allowing the poor girl to have a semblance of freedom. Margaret is both a little happy and sad that her younger sister has left home.

Song: This isn't the End by Owl City.

Baltra just didn't understand what was happening, his beloved youngest daughter is gone and he couldn't comprehend why. The chief of police had even been involved in this investigation, asking all sorts of questions pertaining to Elizabeth.

"Why would your daughter run away?" – "Honestly, I have no idea…I'm a little protective of Elizabeth so I always make sure she's protected…"

"Has there been any problems with her love life? Anyone that stands out?" – "No, She doesn't have a love life, and besides from the neighbor boy no one."

"Neighbor boy?" – "Meliodas Gore… he lives with his family just a few houses down. However I haven't seen him in a few days."

"I see… well I'm sorry to say this, Mayor Baltra, but there's not much we can do. Your daughter is seventeen, eighteen in just a few weeks. Legally we can't really do much aside from file a missing person's report, though that will last up until Ms. Elizabeth's birthday when, legally, she is free to do as she wishes." – "I see…well…Chief Zaratras…I greatly appreciate this."

That conversation with the chief did nothing to ease old man Baltra's mind, in fact it only intensified his anxiousness for his daughter. So much so that Baltra went to Ravinger Gore's home and knocked on the door, the Chief of police and two daughter's following him as he did so.

Ravinger was 6'5" feet tall with a muscular build for a fifty year old, he had black hair with just barely there tuffs of grey, eyes the color of dark forest green. A man that could send the most seasoned war veteran on the run with one look. Well, there was a good reason why he ran the Demons Mafia group, though no one could tie him to anything. As far as the police could find in previous cases that involved the Demons Mafia, Ravinger was a profitable business man who ran many oddity shops around the city of Liones.

"Mayor Baltra… Chief of Police Zaratras… to what do I owe the pleasure of you knocking on my door at the ungodly hour of six in the morning?" Ravinger asked opening the door, he looked like he just rolled out of bed, which he probably did, his hair was messy and he had on ruffled pajamas. In his hand was a glass of Alka-Seltzer water signifying that he was hungover.

Baltra was just about to reply when Margaret answered for him "We were just wondering if you saw my sister leave last night…we found a note this morning and well…we have no idea where she could have gone."

"Ah…I'm sorry to hear that little Miss. Margaret…however I have no recollection of seeing her last night." Ravinger replied softly seeing the distressed look in the oldest sister's eye. "If she did happen to walk past last night it would have to have been very late. You see it was Meliodas' goodbye party last night. He's going to collect some of his friends before traveling the country in his RV, he left after we all had passed out."

"Friends Sir?" Asked Zaratras.
"Yes… his friends from before we moved here, has to have been ten years now. But he left at about 2 am, or at least should have."
"It couldn't have been him then father… I checked on Elizabeth at 2:30 last night and she was wrapped up tightly in bed at the time." Veronica stated.

"Eh? You thought Meliodas would take your daughter Baltra? Please, my son has more class than that. He would have whisked her away right in front of you." Ravinger laughed at the thought of his oldest son doing such a thing as taking a young girl in the middle of the night.

"How am I supposed to know that Ravinger? Your son was always hanging around my precious daughter when they were younger, always whisking her away for silly adventures where she would come home with scrapes and bruises." Baltra stated glaring coldly at the black haired man.

"Please Baltra, children are supposed to get injured playing around like that. It's what kids do and there's nothing we can do about it."

"Children are supposed to be protected at all costs!"

"I Agree with that, however if you don't let them have the freedom to grow and learn from their mistakes how can they ever survive in the world of today?"

Song: Smoke Clears by Andy Grammer.

Baltra was silent after that Ravinger made a fair point, he never did what he did to Elizabeth to her sisters, sure they had protectors (Bodyguards really) but they were allowed freedoms. Still in thought he made his way back home to rethink his protections of his youngest and beloved daughter.

"Thank you for that Mr. Gore… Father never knew the pain he was causing Elizabeth." Margaret stated looking at the black haired man.

"It is no problem, I used to be very harsh on my children, focusing on their training mainly. I never knew the hurt I was causing them when I ignored them otherwise, it wasn't until a very tragic incident that I did change and I started paying more attention to the three of them. Mainly their wants and needs instead of my own." Ravinger replied calmly surprising Veronica.

Veronica willed herself to be blind to her younger sister's pain and loneliness. She believed that Elizabeth would be happy with the way they were treating her, never knowing that it was doing the opposite. The fact that an almost total stranger saw the pain the platinum haired girl was in was a slap to the face to the violet haired woman. A dose of cold hard reality was poured on Veronica as she wondered what else she had missed of her precious sister.

Before leaving to follow after Baltra, Zaratras having left with him to ensure his safety as he was quite out of it, the two sisters listened to the final words of Ravinger.

"The only thing I can offer now is the fact that should Miss Elizabeth come home, welcome her back with open arms no matter who is with her. She needs to know that she is still welcome home after running away. Take in whoever is with her and welcome them too. Do not reject her, understood?"

"Yes, thank you Mr. Gore…we appreciate it…" Veronica stated looking thoughtful as Margaret nodded to the man, smiling at him as thanks.

Ravinger nodded back and closed the door as they started their way home. He looked at the messy house from the party last night, multiple empty cups of beer littered the floors and tableware, many close family members scattered around passed out from the alcohol they consumed. He dreaded going into the kitchen where the drinking contest he had done with Meliodas was held. He had soundly lost to his son, who looked like he wasn't even affected from the amount of beer he drank.

Looking around the black haired man finally found his cell phone, it was under his pile of cups from last night. Ravinger then noticed that he had a few messages from underlings about work and then a voicemail from his eldest, the time saying 3:01am of receiving it.

Playing it he heard:

"Hey Pops, sorry I forgot something at home so I had to come back and get it. Don't worry though everybody was passed out drunk. Also I may have happened to pick up a beauty on the street at 3, so you're probably going to get questioned. Anyway I'll call you after we pick up all of the group. Bye!"

Ravinger then bursts out is loud laughs as he wakes everyone up from their sound sleep, who all grab their heads in pain.

"Well…I never did say that he wouldn't be chivalrous and pick up a lady in need now did I? Meliodas you truly are my son." Ravinger thought to himself as he prepared more Alka-Seltzer water for everyone ignoring their looks of confusion as they wondered what had caused their usually hardened family head to laugh like that.

Song:

Elizabeth sat in the passenger seat of the Meliodas' RV, soon to be known as the Boar Hat: The Traveling Bar. In her lap sat a Chihuahua sized ball of Pink known as Hawk, with Hawk-Momma sleeping by the side. In the driver side of the vehicle sat Meliodas, he's had a year to practice driving said vehicle so that he wouldn't cause any accidents.

Although it was fun terrorizing his family, who had all been forced into the practice-drives, ahh~ all their screams of terror were a lullaby to the blond.

"So M-Meliodas, where are we going first?" She asked pulling Hawk against her chest.

"Oh, that's right I haven't told you yet have I?" Meliodas replied, ignoring the slight jealousy of a pink ball for the moment. "Well, running a bar is hard work and before anything we need someone for the liquor license to be able to sell it, so we need to go and gather some friends of mine."

"Friends?"
"Yep… remember when we were eight and all we heard was this group of vigilantes going around and beating the crap out of scumbags?"
"Yes, father always had Margaret, Veronica, and I with more guards than necessary around that time, wait… that was you!?"
"You betcha! My friends and I grouped up together to protect those who couldn't protect themselves, that was before I moved to the neighborhood though. When my family and I still lived downtown, but when I moved we all kinda split up, it's gotta be about ten years now? Do you remember me telling you about my friends before I moved?

"Yes, there was Diane, Ban, King, Gowther, Merlin, and Escanor. I think the media called you the Seven Deadly Sins, correct? Are you glad that you're getting the group back together again?"

Meliodas nodded, smiling at the woman beside him, she caught on quickly to what he was trying to say and that she remembered the stories he told her all that time ago. Not many could remember the name of the group who took it upon themselves to protect the streets at night in place of the police, but almost everyone knew of their actions.

"OK, that sounds fun, meeting Meliodas' friends I mean. Where too first?" Elizabeth asked smiling back at the blond who was momentarily blinded by the brightness of it.
"Hmm….well I did hear of one of them being in the Town of Dreams…"
"I've heard of that place…it's supposed to be a town surrounded in the middle of forests and fog correct?"
"Got it one, it's only thirty or so miles so we'll make it there by afternoon hopefully. Afterwards we are going to be looking around town."

Elizabeth nodded happily, sure she had gotten into plenty of adventures with the blond next to her, but the last one had been when she was twelve and it had gotten interrupted by Veronica right before the good part happened.

"Do you have any idea of who might be there?" She asked after a couple of minutes
"Hmm….hard to say…after I moved I kinda lost contact with all of them but I do remember Diane having family over out that way, her mother's sister I think…"
"Miss Diane is the one with gigantism* correct?"
"Yep, she was always taller than the rest of us when we were little even with Escanor she was the taller. She was always picked on for it by the bullies in school who judged her for something she couldn't control…and a little envious of those who were shorter."

"I'm sure that Miss Diane is a nice person, after all she did hang out with you when you all were younger." Elizabeth stated, she just had a feeling that anyone Meliodas chose to befriend of his own free will had to be good person.

Meliodas chose not to say anything in return, he wasn't always as nice as he was in the present, in fact when he was just a small child he was known as "Lord of the demons" in his family, far surpassing his father who had claimed that title when he was only twenty. But that was before he lost his very dear friend who was almost like a sister to him. Seeing her bleeding out changed him and caused him to change his views and ways.

Song:

They did in fact make it to the town of Dreams with plenty of daylight left, parking the Bar at the edge of town and leaving Hawk-momma to guard it before the duo left in search of leads. Meliodas did have a theory of who was in this town but it was just that, a theory. For now he and Elizabeth were just going to walk around looking.

After a few hours of walking around, however, they were getting tired and hungry. And neither were willing to offer to cook, the last time that happened they both gave each other food poisoning. That was a horrible night... and so it was decided to stop by a local eatery called The Forrest Eats*.

Stepping into a building that had a very earthy exterior with a modern flare on the inside they were both surprised to see that it had minimal people for the time of day. Though that could be that the Forrest Eatery was a humble diner whose specials were pork, roasted pork at that, and that they served minimal to no beer.

Taking a seat at one of the tables near the counter, Meliodas pulling out Elizabeth's chair for her before seating himself. They were looking at their menus that were on the table for a few minutes when they were greeted by a tall, six feet seven inches in total, slightly chubby, dark blonde haired girl with green eyes. She wore a shy smile on her face with a slight blush.

"H-hello there, my name is Dolores, and I will be your waitress for tonight. Are you both ready to order?" the girl, Dolores, asked the two.

"Hello, and yes we are" Elizabeth stated smiling gently back at the girl while Meliodas studied her. She seemed familiar to him but he couldn't place her.

"Alright then, w-what shall I g-get you?"
"Umm, I'll have the grilled chicken special with fries and a pop please, as well as a small salad with no dressings please." Looking at the blond that sat next to her, Elizabeth waited for him to order for himself.
"Oh, I'll have a mushroom Swiss burger with fries and pop…" Meliodas said forlornly, he couldn't order himself a beer quite yet.

Delores smiled, nodding to herself as she wrote down and reread their order before excusing herself to go place the order with the chef.

"Why'd you get the salad too?" Meliodas asked the platinum haired girl.

"Oh, for Hawk of course, he must be getting hungry he's chewing on the bottom of my shirt." Elizabeth replied turning slightly to show Meliodas that Hawk was indeed chewing on the side of her shirt, Meliodas just stared at the tiny pig, whether it be in jealousy that a pig was trying to undress the girl of his dreams or appreciation of the fact that said pig had just unknowingly given him a great view of creamy skin.

It was a good thing one hand was holding his head up while the other was under the table clenching his pant leg otherwise they might be in places that were not meant to be seen in public.

Swallowing thickly, Meliodas nodded his head as he turned his eyes to look around the dining area. Taking note of the modern appliances, the flat screen TVs strategically place around the room, the amount of tables both empty and full of people, and the bar where it held many fine looking beverages.

"Dammit…the only place I can really drink at is at the Boar Hat and I can't even do that until we find all of the others…" He thought to himself pouting slightly much to the amusement of Elizabeth who let out a giggle at the sight.

"What is it?"
"Sorry, I've just never seen you pout before is all… its adorable Meliodas" Elizabeth replied still giggling, the blond didn't mind, it's been a while since he's heard her giggle so freely before, the fact that she found his pout adorable had nothing to do with it. Nothing. At. All.

Yeah right.

After about twenty minutes of waiting Dolores finally came back with refills for their pops and their food.

"Sorry for t-the wait you two, h-here you are one grilled chicken special with fries, a salad, and a mushroom s-swiss…" the shy girl stated gently setting the food down on the table. "A-anything else I can get y-you?" receiving a polite "no" from the duo before leaving to talk to the bartender at the counter who was calling her over.

The bar tender was average height, for a man without gigantism, he had a bald head, a short dark brown, almost black, beard with dark brown eyes, he had tattoos under his eyes that suited him along with a tan complexion. He had on a pair of camo pants with a tight-fitting tank-top, a tribal printed bandana was tied around his neck. He was barely 6"ft, just a few inches shy of being so, and as such he was towered by Dolores.

Elizabeth had sat Hawk down on top of the table with his salad in front of him before she started eating as Meliodas had started digging into his burger wishing either of them could cook something this good as he kept an ear out for the conversation happening with the two at the counter, Elizabeth doing so as well as she didn't want to miss anything.

"Yo, Dolores have you seen your sister? Ah…your slightly younger one I mean…" the man asked Dolores.

"N-No, not since yesterday when she stormed off into the woods…I'm worried uncle Zalpa…" the girl replied worriedly.

"I was afraid of that…Machi is adamant that we don't go search for her though…something about proving herself…" the man, now known as Zalpa, sighed to himself.

"S-she wants her to prove that she can survive on her own r-right? B-but Diane already takes care of me, Sol, and Della…i-isn't that enough?" Dolores asked the man.

The pair at the table took note of the name Dolores had stated, "Diane", one of the people they were looking for. They looked at each with excitement but waited for more proof.

It was then that the counter duo was interrupted by another, a woman who was about 8'5" feet tall with blonde hair and purple eyes had stepped into the dining area with two children climbing all over her. The one latched to her front was a tiny girl who looked about eight wearing a spotted dress, while the one on the woman's back was a boy wearing an outfit similar to the bartenders looked to be eleven.

"Hush now Dolores, Diane wants to prove herself to me before she leaves it's something that our family has done for generations if one wants to leave for any period of time…" The woman stated setting the two children down on the counter before smiling gently at them.

"I know that Matrona but w-what about the wolf problems the town h-has been having lately? W-won't she be in danger since she doesn't have G-Gideon with her?"

The woman was silent as a bead of sweat trailed down the back necks of Dolores and the unnamed bartender.

"Oops…that's my bad…" Matrona stated rubbing the back of her neck sheepishly while the two kids giggled at her behavior.

"What are we going to do Machi? You're still injured, I'm not strong enough to go out there on my own, and Delores is physically incapable of holding a weapon…" Zalpa stated before sighing and rubbing the bridge of his nose in exasperation.

It was during this time that the visiting duo had polished off their food, their scrapes being eaten by a still hungry piggy as they listened in waiting for an opportunity to jump into the conversation the trio at the counter were having.

"I don't know….damn this is all my fault if I hadn't of teased her so much yesterday then she wouldn't have ran off without Gideon…" Matrona stated, frustrated with herself as the kids moved to hug her in an attempt to make her feel better.

"We can do it for you!" Meliodas stated loudly drawing the trio's attention, his hand latched behind his head as he leaned back on his chair. Elizabeth smiled, nodding along with him.

"Oh? You think your strong enough to lift a giant axe than little boy?" Matrona asked in disbelief as she stared at the young blond boy at the table.

"Hmmm, well I don't think that I'm strong enough, I know that I am" he smiled before standing up, politely helping Elizabeth up out of her chair and walked toward the trio while his companion scooped up a fit-to-burst piglet. Stepping closer to the owners of the bar Meliodas was still smiling with Elizabeth a step behind him, the tallest of the group at the counters eyes had widened in recognition.

"You're…Meliodas correct?" Matrona stated looking at him in slight shock not expecting him, while she judged how strong he was.

"Correct, Matrona right?" the blond man continued on, "I remember you form Diane's stories about her aunt before her parents had passed away…before our group had to go separate ways."

"M-Meliodas, Matrona?" Delores asked in confusion, she recognized the name just not where he was from though he looked vaguely familiar.

"Yes, Meliodas was the leader of the group of vigilantes that roamed the streets of Liones about ten years ago…your sister was part of that group however since you were still in recovery at the time, Dolores, you wouldn't have known…" Matrona stated glancing over at Dolores.

"T-that was b-before you came back to the country right M-Matrona?"

"Correct…"

"Yep you were in the hospital Dolores, your sister was already a friend of mine so she stayed with my family while your aunt there was being located, we formed our group after so many incidents happened and the police did nothing…" Meliodas explained softly to the soft-spoken girl who nodded.

"So, Meliodas, why are you here now? After all these years?" Matrona asked.

"Oh, me and Elizabeth here want to get the group back together, but we need to find everyone first. Heard a rumor in the city so we decided to follow it." Meliodas replied having his hands cupping his companion's breasts relishing in the feel of them as she blushed lightly not expecting him to do so in a semi-public space. Hawk glaring at the blond noticing the platinum haired girl's slight discomfort.

Matrona simply stared at the scene in front of her, from what she had heard from Diane Meliodas was a gentleman, he was always gentle with those who needed it but firm with others who were wild and needed to be toned down. When angered though, he was a demon. Dolores simply started blushing at the scene, not use to having an outrageous actions in the open. While Zalpa silently chuckled at the duo, he knew there was something between the two new people, he had almost done the same thing to Matrona many years ago. Almost, not quite because he didn't want to get flattened by her.

"So, what happened with Diane?" Meliodas asked, his hands had lefts Elizabeth's breasts alone for the moment, having settled them around her waist while he laid his chin on her shoulder as the front of his body met her back. Elizabeth didn't mind, it's not like this was the first time he's held her like this. It didn't happen very often though, only when he could tell that she was slightly uncomfortable in the situation.

"D-Diane, she and M-Matrona had a l-little disagreement y-yesterday…" Dolores stated.

"Humph, she wanted to set out on her own, to find all of you again but I let her know that she had no leads on you or your group. That it would be hopeless to leave with one. She got angry with me and yelled that I just thought of her as a child still… which is a lie, I know Diane's grown up in the ten years I've had her and her sister, however I cannot help but worry about her. She is still young and naïve, what would happen if a stranger had his way with her, or she gets hurt and no one is there to save her? How am I supposed to let her leave home when those thoughts plague my mind?" Matrona let out her true feelings.

Once upon a time, Matrona had a older sister, only a year or so older than her, her sister also suffered from gigantism like Matrona herself and her two daughters. Twelve years ago, when Diane was six, Delores was seven, the family of four had come home walking into a burglary in progress. It ultimately ended up with Matrona's sister and husband having been killed, Dolores being severely injured, nearly losing her life, and robbers who harmed the family ending up hurt as well though not as severely as Dolores but enough to make them stop their crimes. It was a six year old Diane who called the police, who arrived just shy of six minutes. They found a smallish Diane sitting by her parents and sisters side, keeping pressure on her wounds, the robbers knocked out. Diane only let go of her sister when she saw that paramedics had arrived, she was then asked a few questions by a young Zaratras.

Things like "Could you tell me what happened?" Or "How did those bad men get hurt?" Diane only said that the robbers hurt her parents and sister, that she didn't know how they got hurt.

After that Dolores was taken to the hospital with Diane, who was asked if there was anyone they could call. Diane had replied and said to call Mr. Gore, Meliodas' father. That was how Diane ended up staying with the Gore family for a few years while the police, and then later, Ravinger, searched the worldwide for Matrona and her husband Zalpa.

"You don't Miss. Matrona." Elizabeth stated before Meliodas had a chance too, he was still wrapped around her and looked like her wasn't gonna let go of her soon.

"What do you mean? Who are you anyways?" Matrona asked never having been formally introduced to the young woman.

"OH, I'm sorry, if forgot to introduce myself, I am Elizabeth Lion, Meliodas is letting me travel with him. And what I mean is that, well, the world I full of unknowns, you never know when the next unexpected thing is going to happen, whether it's going to be good or bad." Elizabeth started to explain with a soft smile, this caused Meliodas to blush slightly unnoticed by all except Matrona. "Life is always going to be full of the unexpected, things you cannot control. But, and I wish my father had let me do this, a child is supposed to go out into the world to learn from those unexpected things. If not how will they ever grow up?"

Elizabeth's words rang within Matrona's head, allowing her to let out a small chuckle at how obstinate and silly she was being in regards to Diane. Sighing she walked into the one of the backrooms of the bar, emerging with an old Warhammer in hands, it was bronze in color and almost six feet with the head of it being flat on one side and a spikey bit, known as a warpick, on the other. Seeing the tall woman emerge with the Warhammer in hand, Meliodas moved from Elizabeth's back to her side, leaving one hand on the small of her back, before taking the heavy weapon from Matrona.

"Take this, it's a family heirloom, usually it goes to the oldest in our family, but since Dolores isn't one for fighting, it was passed down to Diane… if she's in trouble out in those woods she'll need this. She went into them just a bit east from here, I would go, however I am still recovering from a previous injury…so Meliodas, bring back my niece so we can say goodbye to her." Matrona explained smiling at him as he took the Warhammer from her hold before the blond guided his companion out the door by the hand as they left the eatery intent of going and retrieving Diane.

The blond and platinum haired duo made their way east, follow Matrona's instructions on getting her niece back. They had just entered the woods when Elizabeth noticed something,

"M-Meliodas?" she started.

"Hmm? What is it?"

"You're still holding my hand…" She ended looking at their entwined hands, his left hand holding her right as his own held the giant Warhammer.

"Oh, does that bother you?" He asked still leading her by the hand following a slight trail.

"N-Never!" She said loudly, face flushed red, her other arm was wrapped around Hawk keeping a firm grip on the piglet "I-it's just that you haven't done that in a long time…its always felt nice to me…"

Tightening his hand around hers, Meliodas smiled secretly so she wouldn't see him do so before saying "Than I'll never let go Elizabeth, now come on, I think we're closing in on her!" and taking off deeper into the woods following the slight trail. Elizabeth's hand gripping his just a little tighter than before, a smile on her face.

When they got to the end of the trail it had opened into a small clearing with a little pond in the middle with a single tree by the bank of it, under that tree was a brown haired girl dressed in a tight fitting, and torn, orange tank top with dark brown, almost black, pants. She wore torn and broken gauntlets on her hands that came up mid arm, her hair was worn in two pigtails on the side of her head, and was wearing boots that came up almost to her knees, at her side lay a backpack. She looked like she was recovering from a fight, having bruises on her legs (from what you could see at least) and arms.

"Is that her?" Elizabeth asked quietly so as to not disturb the resting girl. Meliodas nodded in confirmation, the girl laying under the tree was indeed Diane. Gesturing for Elizabeth to with just outside the tree line, and after leaning the Warhammer up against a tree close to her, the blond went to Diane and proceeded to poke her forehead to wake her up.

Any other method would have ended up with him getting skewered by someone else within the group.

Groaning at the disturbance, Diane reacted violently as she immediately pinned Meliodas to the grassy floor. Her boot weighing down heavily on his chest as blade popped out of its toe area, coming dangerously close to his neck and face.

"What the hell do you want?" Diane asked, a shadow crossing over her face, she couldn't clearly make out her intruders face as her eyes were still blurry from her sudden wake up.

"Yo Diane, it's been what? Ten years already?" Meliodas asked with an easy going smile.

"Huh?" the taller girl stated rubbing the sleep from her eyes and retracting her boot from Meliodas' chest before going silent. And then sweeping the blond up so fast before proceeding to hug the living daylights out of him as she danced around yelling "Captain" over and over again.

This drew Elizabeth to sigh in relief before smiling, happy at the first reunion.

"What the hell are you doing here captain?" Diane asked setting the blond on his feet where he tried to regain his bearings from the girls over exuberance.

"Oh, me and Elizabeth are traveling all over to get the group back together again." Meliodas replied gesturing over to the platinum haired girl who waved not sure if she should go over yet.

"Oh, so it's just been you two?" Diane asked curious.

"Well, yeah for almost a day. Came from Liones, it's not that far from here really." He replied, smiling softly at Elizabeth who had sat down to look at the sky, Hawk resting on her stomach.

"Hmm….why? It's not like you to pick up someone like that, what's with her? What makes her special?" Diane asked quietly, sure in the past she may have harbored feelings for her captain, he had been the first person to have ever treat her as normal and not make fun of her for being the tallest out of the bunch. Now though, those feelings developed into respect and those of which one would feel for a sibling.

"Ah, well some things happened with her dad, but that's her story to tell. As for what makes her special…hmm…" Meliodas wondered off in thought only coming back when Diane snapped her fingers "Oh, well, she quiets down the demons…and gives me something to fight for…"

Diane looked at the man she admired for many years, he had been through a lot more than he led on. Never knowing a moment of peace, even back when he was only seven. Back then he was a bit more cold and aloof but he showed kindness to those who needed it without ever asking anything in return.

"She reminds you of her doesn't she?"

"…yes…is that wrong?"

"No, but, is what you feel for her different from the first?"

"Diane, if anything its stronger than the first…I'd do anything to keep her safe, go through hell and back if I have too as long as she can smile at me…"

"…..Than she's good enough for me too, as long as you don't mix up your feelings for the two we won't have a problem."

Meliodas nodded smiling gently as he and the seven foot girl made their way over to the platinum haired young woman. Seeing them, Elizabeth stood up Hawk falling off of her stomach as she did so.

It was then, when the little piglet was running around in circles in anger at being disturbed, that Diane got a hungry glint in her eye before snatching up the piglet by the tail and looking at him hungrily.

"Captain! You brought me my favorite, roast pig! You shouldn't have!" The brunette stated, drooling slightly.

Seeing this, Hawk got scared and began to make loud noises to try and ward off the hungry giant.

"Wish you could eat him, Diane, however he isn't to eat. He's Elizabeth's pet. She'd be really upset if we ate him, despite how delicious he'd be…" Meliodas sighed looking at the piglet in hunger at just the thought.

As if understanding the blond, Hawk began to glare at him.

"Oh, sorry about that, Elizabeth right? I haven't eaten anything since yesterday afternoon…and roast pork is my favorite…" Diane stated putting Hawk down on the ground again before sighing sadly when her stomach growled.

"It's okay Miss Diane…and if you're hungry I have a few granola bars in my pack here…" Elizabeth stated rummaging through the pack that was attached to her waist, letting out a "ha-ha!" When she found them. "It's not roast pork, but it'll do until we can get some real food for you, here you go, its chocolate chip and peanut butter." she continued on handing the bars to the giant girl.

Diane stared at the tinier girl in front of her, not expecting her to be this kind but not really surprised at it. Elizabeth did draw Meliodas' attention, and only kind people drew the blond in.

"T-thank you!" Diane wailed, bringing Elizabeth in for a hug. "O-Only captain and the others have ever been this nice to me before. From now on you can call me Diane, no 'Miss' stuff okay?"

Elizabeth was surprised at the emotional girl hugging her. Catching Meliodas' eye as he chuckled a little before motioning for the platinum haired girl to hug the brunette back, which she followed.

"O-Okay, in that case you can call me whatever you want M-, I mean, Diane." Elizabeth smiled up at the taller girl which only got her a longer hug. Afterwards it was a few minutes longer to separate before Diane started to eat the granola bars slowly.

"Oh, I almost forgot, here Diane, Matrona wanted me to give this to you when we found you…" Meliodas said having gone and grabbed the Warhammer they brought.

"G-Gideon? Wait, Matrona sent you?" Diane asked in shock, she never would have thought that her aunt, her role model, would set aside her bullheaded tendencies and ask someone to find her.

"Yep, Yep, Yep! She felt bad and we happened to wander into your family's restaurant, after eating we may have eavesdropped, long story short your aunt sent us in her place to bring you back." Meliodas said smiling brightly at the brunette while he stood next to Elizabeth.

"Why? She said that I was being childish…yet I proved her right by running way out here…" Diane asked as she took the Warhammer from the blond.

Elizabeth stepped in, smiling gently up at the brunette as she held Gideon with one hand, the other bringing the end of her left pigtail to cover the bottom of her face.

"Well, I think you and her need to talk to each other before anything is decided. You never know, maybe in running away for a little while caused Matrona to rethink her actions and have a change of heart, but you'll never know until you two talk Diane…" Elizabeth stated softly.

Diane thought for a few moments before a look of determination showed itself on her face, latching Gideon across her back she looked at her captain and the platinum haired girl nodding before saying "Well then, let's go! I need to tell Matrona something before I leave anyways."

"Huh? You're actually coming with us?" Elizabeth asked in surprise.

"Hell yeah Elli, I thought that was a given after all!" Diane said brightly as she edged the boundary line of the clearing and the woods, "I just refuse to have this set of clothes as my only set so I do need to go back, not to mention have a few words with a certain someone."

Smiling brightly Elizabeth nodded at the taller girl before turning to Meliodas and trapped him in a hug, happy that they had found their first traveling companion. Meliodas was, again, in his own little heaven as his head was between Elizabeth's breasts for a few minutes before they were called by Diane to hurry their asses up or else she'll leave them in the woods. Letting out a yelp, Elizabeth separated from the embrace before grabbing Meliodas' hand and dragged him without much difficulty to follow Diane through the woods, little Hawk bounding after them.

Diane, Meliodas, Elizabeth, and Hawk made it back to Forrest Eats in record time, finding it busier than having left it, they decided to go upstairs to the family home of Diane's family. Zalpa, Delores, and the two children, Sol and Della, opted to stay downstairs running the bar and waiting on people, while Matrona followed the quartet upstairs.

"Please sit, you two, this will be a few minutes." Diane said to her new traveling companions, gesturing to the brown 'L' shaped couch that was against one of the walls of the living room, before moving to what looked like her room. Matrona following behind her.

Sitting down on the couch, Meliodas looked at Elizabeth who had yet to do so as well, she was looking a little dazed as she looked at all of the family pictures that covered up one wall of the warm. Elsewhere in the room there were two big lazy-boy chairs both brown in color, one closer to the couch while the other was angled a little farther away. On the wall opposite to the family portrait one sat a large, wide-screen TV, it was large enough so that no matter where you sat in the front room you could see the screen. The room was finished off with the last wall having a family computer and a large bookshelf against it was finger paintings taped to the wall.

All in all it had a nice layout, with the hallway coming out of the kitchen to the rest of the home where the bedrooms were located, with plenty of kitchen and dining space in between.

Feeling a weight on one of his legs, Meliodas was surprised to see that Elizabeth had finally sat down but instead of staying in a sitting position, she had laid down so that her head was situated on his lap.

"What's up Elizabeth?" He asked as she moved from laying on her side to her back, pieces of hair covering her face as she let out a yawn. She was probably tired from her extremely long day, having been going on only two hours of sleep as she had taken a nap in the RV on their way to the town of dreams.

"Oh, I'm sorry Meliodas…" Elizabeth replied, noticing her position as she made to sit up, but it wasn't meant to be as Meliodas moved a hand and made her lay her head back on his lap before taking on of his hands into his. The other hand moving to brush the stray pieces of hair from her face.

"You're tired right? Lay back down, I'll wake you up when it's time to leave if you do fall asleep okay?" Meliodas stated softly, smiling down at her which caused her to blush and nod, a little surprised that he made no-wait….yep, he had moved the hand that moved her hair from her face to her breast squeezing it slightly.

Giggling lightly at him, Elizabeth nodded again moving closer to the blond, nuzzling herself into his stomach before falling into a light sleep.

Resting his hand on her waist, Meliodas sighed lightly enjoying the calmness of it all, noting that Hawk had leapt up onto the couch and was snuggled into Elizabeth's side before leaning his head back on the couch letting himself rest a bit before they had to make their way to the Boar Hat later on.

The two young people relaxed on the couch, the piglet next to them, their hands still intertwined with each other's.

While the two in the living relaxed for the first time that day, Diane was in her room, which she shared with Della and Dolores, gathering her stuff together into a large orange duffle bag and her signature backpack.

"So…you're positive in your decision to leave home?" Matrona asked lightly, leaning against the doorframe.

Diane paused in her packing, looking at Matrona for a split second before resuming in her task and said "Yes…I'm sorry if you don't agree with it…but I'm eighteen now, I need to go out into the world Aunty…"

"I agree"

"I know you may be against it and all- wait… did you just agree with me?"

"Yes, Elizabeth said something earlier, something about how a child will never grow to be an adult in staying home. The way she said it made me realize something…"

"…And that would be what exactly?"

"That I was afraid for you…" Matrona sighed, "I was afraid that the same thing that happened to your mother and father would happen to you. I never had this problem with Dolores, she never felt the need to wander the world like you. She's too much like your mother Diane, always wanting to stay near home so that you're close to family. But, I realized early on in taking over your guardianship that you were too much like me. Always going off on adventures, wanting to travel the world…"

Diane was silent, listening to Matrona's words, realizing that she indeed was like her beloved aunt. It was true, while her mother married her high school sweetheart and immediately started a family straight out of high school, Matrona chose to travel the world, having adventures every day, experiencing new things. That's why it took two bloody fucking years to track the damn woman down…

"In the time that I was gone, I went through a lot of things. Things no one should be exposed to at any age. I was so focused on the fact that you wanted to travel the world like me that I focused on the bad things that happened when I was out there, that I forgot the many good things that happened to me as well."

"Like what?" Diane asked sitting on her bed, bag all packed.

"Well, like the fact that I got drunk and woke up on the edge of a volcano…"

"What?!"

"Yep, that's a good memory because the small group I was traveling with couldn't find out where I had gone, I still remember their shocked faces when I stumbled out of the jungle with dirty and twigs in my hair." Matrona laughed a little recalling the memory.

"What else?"

"Oh there's a lot of things, the one time I had to prove myself to a tribe of aboriginals in hunting, the time I swam with humpback whales, climbing one of the tallest mountains in the world, which not many people with gigantism are able to do might I add… meeting your uncle Zalpa…" Here Matrona smiled.

"How did you two meet again?"

"Hmm? Oh, well I was walking through the outback of Australia with little to no food or water, stupid I know but I was young and dumb, I was nowhere close to any civilization and I passed out. Waking up I was in a small tent with this strange man wearing Tarzan attire sitting next to me. That was Zalpa, he nursed me back to health and I have stayed with him ever since…"

"Wow…so that's why you two are so close…I never realized…"

"It's a lot similar to you and that young boy you always talked about whenever I did come visit, Har-something right?"

"…Harlequin…yeah…but that was reverse…I nursed him back to health and forced momma and papa to keep him…"

"Haha, I remember your father complaining that you were to young to ask for a boy to stay with you all…anyways do you see where I'm coming from Diane?"

"Yes, I do…"

"I'm giving you my blessing to go and find yourself, find love in your life, find adventure, find everything you are looking for Diane…but always remember that you will always have a home here…no matter how god damned small it may be." Matrona stated giving Diane a teary smile with a thumb in the air. She only had a few seconds before she was tackled into a hug by a crying Diane, chuckling slightly, Matrona wrapped her arms around her youngest niece patting her head lightly to comfort her.

"There, there Diane…"

"I'll go Matrona, I'll go and live the life I want to live okay? But, I'll always come and visit okay? At least once a year on this day…" Diane said through hiccups and tears but meaning every word.

"You better you little brat otherwise I'll hunt you down." Matrona said in a threatening tone, trying to be scary.

"Well, I wouldn't want that amazon-woman." Diane laughed.

With that, Diane and Matrona made up, and with the promise of visiting at least once a year the two left Diane's childhood bedroom, bags in hand and back, to walk back into the living room.

Seeing the two on the couch Diane quickly got out her Polaroid Camera and snapped a quick picture for the future of the two. She couldn't help it, if anyone could wrangle Diane's captain, she was sure it was the platinum haired girl on his lap.

Hearing the click of the camera, Meliodas opened his eyes, yawning loudly before spying the two very tall women.

"Oh, hey Diane, ready to go?" he asked, moving quickly and smoothly so as to not wake up the sleeping girl, as he stood up.

"Yep, got all of my important things in my bags oh and Gideon as well but I'll grab him before we leave."

"Everything cleared up then I take it?"

"Yes, thank you for your help Meliodas, is Elizabeth okay?" Matrona asked spying the sleeping girl and piglet.

"Hmm? Oh yeah, she's just tired, I don't think she got much sleep last night…she did have a two hour nap this afternoon though…but I think that was wasted on the trip through the woods…"

"What did you do to her last night captain?" Diane asked glaring slightly at the blond in a suspicious light, well, she did remember the way he was always touching the girl.

Like they were a couple or something…she never remembered captain being all clingy like that from ten years prior.

Mumbling an "I wish" before continuing on feeling the light glares from both Diane and Matrona now "Well, she ran away from home last night, 'bout 2:30 in the morning. She was trying to make her way out of our neighborhood last night when I offered her to join me. Thankfully she said yes and so here we are."

"Hmm, I figured it was something like that…how old is she?" Matrona asked.

"She'll be eighteen in just a few weeks, we can hide her until than when she'll be legal to make her own choices…"

"Yes, though there's not much the police can do now, thankfully they won't be able to pursue her case to much since she left of her own volition…assuming she left a note that is…"

"She did, she told me so earlier today…"

Matrona nodded, a note goes a long way for the police, and there were a long list of writing specialists that are able to see if the note was written under less than desirable circumstances. When they find that Elizabeth wrote the note herself they'll back off quite a bit but not enough to call of the search.

"Just keep her safe until the next few week are up you two…judging by how sensitive she is to our situation Diane, it's safe to say that she really doesn't want anything to do with her family right about now right Meliodas?"

Meliodas nodded, he'd already made it his mission to protect Elizabeth from everything he's able too.

"You betcha Matrona!" Diane exclaimed, nearly waking up the sleeping girl, only to be shushed by the two others "Oops, sorry."

Sighing Matrona looked at the two, "Right that's cleared up, for now at least, you two should head back to your, RV was it Meliodas?" the blond nodded "And get some rest, leave first thing tomorrow okay? Oh and Diane remember to come say goodbye before you leave tonight aright?"

Diane nodded, following Matrona down the stairs to the eatery to say goodbye to her family, leaving Meliodas alone with Elizabeth.

Smiling softly at the sleeping girl, Meliodas smoothly picked her up in his arms, grabbing Hawk by the tail which, surprisingly, didn't wake him up.

Well, almost being dinner would do that to anyone honestly.

Maneuvering Elizabeth to only one arm, Meliodas nuzzled her face against his for a moment, as he loved the fact that she was in his hold for the time being, before following after his new traveling companion and her aunt downstairs, twirling the amazingly still sleeping piglet in the air.

Saying goodbye to Diane's family the tired and sleeping group was about to make their way out of the eatery when Matrona stopped them,

"Oh that's right, Meliodas, Diane, one more thing, a while ago I had heard that someone from your group was in jail in Baste City Prison, try there next aright?"

"Thanks for the tip Matrona!"

*Warning, I'm not sure how far this scene is going to go but if you happen to have an innocent mind please move to the next black line, thank you. Oh and be aware of twists cuz really I'm gonna screw with your heads on this part heehee*

Giving Diane Elizabeth's room, as it was hers originally, Meliodas had put Elizabeth in his room as he thought it would be best. The fact that the two had to share a bed did nothing too him, nope, nope, nope. Diane pointing out that it took three showers to tire him out before he turned in had no connection at all.

Denial, his name is Meliodas.

Asking Diane to change the platinum haired girl's clothes to something more comfortable, a pair of sleeping shorts and one of the blonds old shirts, Meliodas used that time to change into his pajamas as well, though really it was just a pair of boxers and a tank top. Diane wished him luck before leaving to her room, closing the door to the room as she did so.

Back in the room Meliodas was staring at the bed with Elizabeth in it, taking deep slow breaths to calm himself. It took several minutes before he finally crawled into bed with the platinum haired beauty. He was laying on his side, staring at her in content when she let out a little moan before turning over toward him and opening her eyes slightly. Eyes that opened wider as she saw who was laying across from her.

"Umm…h-hi" She stuttered out looking around, noting that she must have been in Meliodas' room judging by the fact that he was laying across from her.

"Hi sleepyhead…" Meliodas chuckled which caused her to blush.

"W-why am I in your room?"

"Oh that? Well, originally I was going to put you in Diane's room but since we found her first we had to change that."

"Okay, but why your room?"

"There was Merlin's room, but then I remembered that there are harmful chemicals in there, Kings, well, King will sleep anywhere, mainly in Diane's room as she never minded it as kids. Ban's room is well, honestly, there's stuff in there no one should see...dads idea. Gowther's it, well, it doesn't have a bed, and Escanor had always kept close to Merlin, like King does to Diane. Really the only logical place that makes sense for tonight is sleeping here in mine…hope you don't mind." Meliodas rambled, slightly nervous of her reaction.

"I…see…well okay than." Elizabeth replied sleepily, "Hey, Meliodas?"

"Hmm?" Meliodas replied eyes closed.

"C-can you…oh never mind…forget I said anything." Elizabeth started to ask before getting flustered and turning over on her other side.

Meliodas smiled to himself before figuring out what it was that she wanted, moving closer to her he wrapped one of his arms around her waist, the other moving under her pillow and head going down further to grope her breast. This caused her to moved back into him, her butt meeting his front as she moved her body into his, getting as close as possible to him as she was able.

This made the blond groan slightly being unable to hold back as his member felt her ass for the first time, squeezing her breast a little tighter as the arm around her waist brought her closer than she realized she could. Meliodas smirked slightly before the arms around her waist trailed upwards, fingers dancing along her exposed flesh as when she turned the large shirt she was wearing had ridden up to just below her breasts. When the moving hand finally reached its new destination, cupping her other breast, he moved his right leg in between hers, her warm covered center resting comfortably on it.

Kissing the back of her neck Meliodas noted that she was blushing a bright red as she moaned a little.

"You're still awake Elizabeth? I thought you fell back asleep…" Meliodas said into the side of her neck nuzzling it with his nose as he inhaled her sweet scent.

"W-who could sleep when you keep doing that?" She replied flustered, it had been a while since they had time like this.

"Haha, do you want me to stop?" Meliodas asked her laughing a little.

Elizabeth was silent which cause him to nuzzle her neck again, this time in comfort.

"How long has it been since we were last like this?" She asked after a few moments.

"Hmm, has to be three years now? You were fifteen, I was sixteen."

"I snuck out after having a fight with Veronica over my friendship with you…"

"Oh? Is what we have just a friendship?"

"N-never…well…it hasn't been for a long time now…" Elizabeth replied rolling over once again to face him, keeping his leg firmly between her.

Meliodas laughed a little, bringing his forehead to meet hers. "Nope, not since you confessed to liking me back when we were what? Thirteen? Wow…been a while…"

"Yeah…"

"Would you have really left without saying goodbye to me?"

"No, I was going to go over to your home after I walked around the neighborhood to throw off my scent."

"Cheeky…but what if I had already left?"

She looked at him, unimpressed by what he had just said.

"Yeah, I didn't believe that when I said it either."

Elizabeth laughed a little at his expression, remembering how the two had gotten together nearly five years ago. She was thirteen, Meliodas fourteen, when she had snuck out of her home for the hundredth time. Like usual Meliodas waited down a block from her house, up until that night they were the best of friends, he being the only one she had. The blond had noticed that she was unusually quiet during that time and had asked what was wrong.

FLASHBACK FOR A WHILE

A young Elizabeth sat on a swing eating a Hershey Bar that her blond companion had given her. It was the anniversary of when the two had become friends.

"What's wrong Elizabeth? You're not usually this silent…" Meliodas said poking her forehead to get her to look at him.

"It's nothing Mr- Meliodas…"

"Hmph I beg to differ, you look upset, you know that you can tell me anything…"

Elizabeth was quiet for a minute, gathering up her courage before saying "What would happen if a best friend grew feelings for the other?"

Her question caught him off guard, his chocolate bar missing his mouth and ending up with him being poked in the cheek "Tch, of course it's possible. My dad says that my mom and he were best friends for years and years before they ended up together and having me and my brothers…"

"But what if it breaks their friendship if things don't turn out?"

"Well, than they were never meant to be friends in the first place…now what's this about anyways Elizabeth...no stalling either." Meliodas said "Anything you have to say isn't gonna-"

"I like you okay!" Elizabeth let out before her eyes widened as she blushed a vibrant red and turned her head to the ground hoping to avoid the sting of rejection.

'Could she really mean what I think she means?' Meliodas thought to himself before saying "Like? Like in a way of a brother or best friend or…?"

"….Like one would like a boyfriend dummy…" Elizabeth mumbled still avoiding his eyes.

'YES! She likes me back!' Meliodas took a deep breath before stepping closer to her, taking a hand and lifting up her head so that she would look him in the eyes.

"I guess you don't like me like that…huh Meliodas?" She said sniffling a little as tears began to fill up her vision as she closed her eyes.

Then she felt soft, velvety lips on hers, opening her eyes, she found that Meliodas had closed the rather short distance between their lips as he kissed her, trying to convey his feelings for her without words.

Withdrawing, Meliodas smirked softly at her, "Does that answer your question Ellie?"

Her reply was simple: She tackled him to the ground as she met his lips once more as his arms instinctively wrapped around her waist.

FLASHBCK END

"You still don't know everything about me…you know that right Ellie?" Meliodas told her as he brought her closer, his face hiding in the crook between her pillow and her neck.

"I know, but that doesn't matter to me, I know that eventually you'll feel comfortable enough to tell me all about your past. But until then, I'm fine with just knowing what I know now okay?" Elizabeth stated kissing his ear before nuzzling it in affection.

Sniffling lightly, Meliodas kissed her neck mumbling a quick "Thank you" before flipping her over so that she was on her back.

"So…wanna play a little game?" He asked her smirking down at her.

"Depends on what kind of game it is."

"Well, how about this, I drop enough hints when we have more of us so that the others begin to question our relationship, you have to act as if I've always been like that throughout our friendship. If they guess correctly that we're a couple and how long we've been one I win, if not I win."

"And the time frame to win?"

"Until all of us sins are together again."

"What do I get if I win?"

"Hmm…if I win, you have to dress up in that maid costume you refused to wear at my families Halloween party a few years ago." Meliodas said with a wide, shit-eating grin.

"And if I win?"

"Well what do you want me to do?"

Elizabeth thought for a few minutes before nodding to herself, that was a good idea, "Alright I accept your terms."

"Wait, you never told me what you wanted from me Ellie"

"I will tell you when I win. But for now…can you kiss me again."

Meliodas needed no further incentive, he kissed her fiercely, their lips practically melting against each other's. Elizabeth's arms wrapped around his neck as she moved her head to the side allowing him clear access to the side of her neck, which he attacked fiercely nipping at it before sucking the sensitive skin.

Meliodas' hands began to snake up her body, his own being supported by his legs, one still firmly pressed against her center the other on the outside of her left leg. Pushing her shirt up a little bit more, Meliodas marveled at the sight of her naked breasts as Elizabeth blushed.

"H-how far this time Ellie?" he asked through taking a deep breath again in order to calm himself, his growing need becoming apparent as he lowered the bottom half of his body on top of hers, the only thing separating them were two sets of fabric.

"N-not all the way…I'm s-still not ready…" Elizabeth replied blushing more from feeling his need.

Kissing her lips once more, Meliodas replied lowly "That's fine…as long as I can taste you tonight…as long as you're willing that is…"

"I-I am…" She replied as the blond moved his lips down from hers to her neck before he lifted them up so she could remove her shirt fully from her body.

Meliodas wasted no time in working his way slowly down her neck to her chest, leaving large hickeys on the tops of her breasts before taking on into his mouth while his hand kneaded the other. At the feel of his hot mouth surrounding one of her buds, Elizabeth bit back a moan as she brought her hand to her mouth to try and keep silent. The lower part of her body moving upwards to cause a little friction for Meliodas' need. This caused him to groan around her bud which caused her to gasp at the feel of it.

Rolling his teeth on the bud, Meliodas pulled back a little, a trail of spit coming from his mouth to the bud. He blew on the sensitive bud, eliciting a delightful gasp from the beauty beneath him, before moving to the other bud, biting it a little to draw out a another gasp. Switching hands, he moved his now free one to the hardened bud, rolling it between his pointer and middle finger, every now and then he would use his thumb to pull lightly on it.

Elizabeth squirmed beneath him, her hips moving up on his knee as his need lay hardened on her waistline. She was sure he could feel how damp her panties were becoming on his bare leg as he continued his ministrations on her breasts.

"M-Meliodas…please…" she stuttered out.

"Please what?" he replied blowing on the newly wet bud before moving his other hand and doing the same treatment as the other.

"T-Touch me…" she said lowly.

"But I am touching you Ellie…unless you want me to touch you someplace else…but where could that be?" he asked teasingly having noticed the wetness that reached his knee, the one still delightfully pressed up against her center.

"Down…" she tried to get out another word.

"Hmm? Down huh?" he mumbled to himself before moving down to her stomach, peppering soft kisses against her flesh.

"F-further…" She whimpered.

Meliodas complied moving to her waistline, nipping at it before asking, "Here than?"

Elizabeth whimpered again wiggling her hips, he was so close to her need right then.

"Further than?" He said to himself before moving further down so that his face was at the apex of her center, bringing a hand up, the other on her leg, he used his finger to trace the wet line that had appeared during his teasing. Elizabeth letting out a gasps when he did so.

"Here then Ellie?" her reply was to try and grind on his finger, her aching need becoming more apparent. "Now what do you want me to do? Touch or Lick?" he looked up meeting her eye with a devilish grin on his face.

"B-Both…" she replied with a red hue on her face, eyes glazed over in pleasure.

"Both hmm? Such a naughty girl you are tonight…" he said kissing the inside of her thighs before smoothly removing her damp panties, revealing her glistening sex. He ran his thumb down the folds of it, enjoying the way her juices coated it in just a single swipe. Spreading her folds apart, he began to blow on her sensitive area before slowly moving his middle finger into her molting hot core groaning at the way it tightened around it but being careful not to go too far. Twirling his digit around inside her until she loosened around it a little before adding his pointer finger as his mouth moved to the sensitive nub of her apex. He licked it lightly as he began to thrust his fingers inside of her, being very careful at their depth before he began to suck on her nub, adding his ring finger stretching her out and causing her to cry out a little at the pleasure he was causing her.

"M-Meliodas…" she managed to stutter out between the thrusts of his fingers and his suckling on her nub. She never had a chance to say more as a wave of pleasure crashed over her, coating both Meliodas' fingers and his mouth. The blond didn't mind at all, he seemed to love the taste of her though as he began to clean up the mess she made. It was only right as he caused it.

"M-Meliodas…" she stuttered out again once she came down from her high as he moved on top of her again, his need meeting her waistline again.

"How was that Ellie?" he asked with a grin staring down at her, she could see that he still had some of her juices on his lips and a thought came to mind.

Feeling emboldened by what she just experienced, Elizabeth leaned up and licked them off of his face, catching him off guard, before she flipped them over so that she was on top.

"E-Ellie?" Meliodas stuttered out this time.

Elizabeth only smiled before kissing him, working her way down his neck, his chest, stomach, until she finally got to his waistline, where his need was very prominent. Gently, she removed his member from their confinement grasping it softly with her hand, running her thumb over the throbbing tip of it. This elicited a soft his of pleasure from the blond.

She slowly worked from the base of it, dragging her fingertips over the soft flesh of his manhood, pre-cum slowly making itself known. Wondering something, Elizabeth slowly moved her head closer to the member.

Meliodas, seeing this, stuttered out a soft "Y-you don't h-have to E-Ellie…"

"I know but I want too…" the platinum haired beauty replied smiling lovingly at him before taking his head into her mouth making the blond underneath moan lowly. Her teeth scraped against the flesh of the shaft as she took in more of him, humming in content, unknowingly making Meliodas shiver in pleasure and almost coming right then but he held strong.

Elizabeth slowly massaged the base as she continued to suck on the member's head, teeth still scraping on the shaft until finally, Meliodas grabbed her head making her take more of him in as he came. Swallowing her prize, Elizabeth wiped away some escaped liquid with a finger before sucking on it, making sure she didn't miss a drop. Afterwards she reached for her shirt so she wasn't lying in bed completely naked before laying down next to her blond haired companion who was still recovering from his experience.

Once he did so he curled his arms around Elizabeth's waist, one wrapped underneath her body with the hand coming out the other side as the other was across her chest with his head laying on her breast.

"Well….that was new, how long have you been waiting to do that Ellie?" He asked cuddling into her side, left leg wrapped around her right.

"A while…is that bad?" Elizabeth replied shyly, afraid she had done something wrong.

"Hell no, please do that again." He turned so she could see his face, he was pouting again.

"Hmm, we'll see." She giggled before leaning up and kissing him one last time before sleep claimed her.

Meliodas stayed up for a few minutes, the things they just did being replayed in his head as he snuggled into his favorite pillow. 'Well' he thought to himself with a Cheshire cat grin. 'I certainly have a hell-cat as a lover…can't wait for the full thing but I'm sure it'll be worth it.' Sleep claimed him after that last thought.

*Yeah, so I have no fucking Idea where the mother-loving hell that came from….honestly that it probably one of the best straight lemons I have ever written…and it came out of bloody-fucking nowhere…hope you all enjoyed that.*

Waking up sometime the next morning, Meliodas noted the lack of Elizabeth underneath him. Disappointed but not overly so, he made through his morning routine, taking a shower, brushing his teeth, lightly combing his hair, before getting dressed and making his way down to the tavern floor for breakfast.

Luckily, Diane was the one cooking, having eaten a decent tasting breakfast for the morning the trio and two piggy's took off to Baste City, more specifically Baste City Prison. Passing the time with asking meaningless questions asked between Elizabeth and Diane in an effort to get to know one another, until finally they reached the outer edge of the city. Stopping by a gas station, they picked up some gas, a map, and some coffee before looking for the easiest way to the city prison. When they finally decided on the way, and after drinking some much needed caffeine, they set off again.

Arriving at a dome like building nearly two hours later, after getting lost or distracted multiple times, Meliodas, Elizabeth, and Diane parked a little ways away in a parking lot and began a discussion on who they all thought would be in Baste City prison.

"So…who do you two think is in?" Elizabeth asked the two former vigilantes.

"Hmm….no clue…" Meliodas stated shrugging his shoulders.

"Well, it can't be Escanor unless his other side was let loose, but I don't think that's a possibility considering the fact that he's really paranoid about keeping to himself when he's in those moods…" Diane stated logically.

"Yeah…" Meliodas said holding his chin with a hand "Dad had contact with Merlin about a year or so ago…said that Escanor had met up with her, and since I don't see Merlin committing any acts that could have her chemist liscene cancelled, it's a safe bet to say that both are out of the question."

"True, I don't see him willingly leaving her side till she says so…What about Gowther?"

"Can't be Gowther either, there hasn't been any sign of him since he ran away from Merlin…and that incident had my dad all up in arms eager to go and find him…Besides I think he would be committed to an asylum than jail with how he was as a kid…"

"Damn…that's true."

"What about King?"

"King? The boy who lost a fish to a kitten when we went on that camping trip King?"

"…I see your point….than it's gotta be…

"BAN!" both the brunette and blond yelled out happily, feeling smart that they deduced such a thing is such a short amount of time.

Elizabeth giggled at the looks on their faces, she had kept silent because she didn't know much of the other members of the group and didn't want to make assumptions.

"Well then, I guess we get to meet Mr. Ban next than." She stated happily.

End of the chapter everyone. Sorry that it was so long, I really wanted to try and write a chapter with over ten thousand words and then post it on my birthday which was today.

I hope you enjoyed the little lime, which was unexpected to me as well since I like to be a little further up in chapters before I bring out the lemon zest.

If any of you are confused I have a rough time-line of the events before.

Ten years ago, Meliodas was nine when the Sins disbanded, caused by a number of reasons.

He moved into the same neighborhood as Elizabeth that same year, befriending her in the process.

Moving up in age, he found that he had fallen for her but wasn't sure how to approach the topic of a relationship to her.

Luckily she had the guts to do so instead. They got together at ages 13-14 but kept it secret from almost everyone, the only having a hint of what was happening between the two was Ravinger, who approved of the relationship. They kept up appearances even if they were the only two alone together, never knowing who would be ordered to follow Elizabeth around whenever she did get a day to herself.

At the age of 15, Baltra tightened the security around his home, making it more difficult for Elizabeth to sneak out.

I think that's all, but if it doesn't make any sense please let me know, I will do my best to smooth out any details in future chapters.

Please review guys, it means a lot, even if it's a simple, "Good! Can't wait for the next chapter!" Seriously it can be that simple.

Anyways bye guys, till next time!
