I would have updated sooner, but I was trying to think of a plot to write for this pairing. Hope you enjoy! And please if you want to see specific pairing tell me :).
-Ban's POV-
It's been five years since I last seen the captain. I doubt the captain would even want to see me again. Not after what I did to him. I think about that what I did to him every day, and I hate myself more and more every time. If I could die, I would've ended my life after I hurt the captain. These past five years I've stumbled from town to town, getting into as much trouble as I can. I've been in plenty of fights and injured badly a few times, but they healed as quickly as the injuries happened. Eventually the fighting got boring, so I gave up on it. I was on my way to the next town when I heard a familiar voice. I looked around to find Diane hovering over me.
"Ban!" Diane shouted as she picked me up. She quickly crushed me in her hand. "What do you think you're doing here?"
Well, seems like Diane still remembers what I did. She was obsessed with the captain, so I wasn't too surprised that she remembered.
"Relax, Diane." I said, squirming out of her grip and landing on the ground. I didn't look up to meet her eyes. I couldn't. "It's not like I knew you guys were going to be here. I'm leaving." I started walking around Diane.
"Ban?" I froze in my tracks. I didn't have to see who it was that said my name. I knew that voice very well. It belonged to the captain.
-Meliodas' POV-
I was in the Tavern cooking while Elizabeth was serving drinks and food. Everything was pretty quiet, well as quiet as it can get for a tavern. Then I heard Diane scream. I was shocked to hear her scream Ban's name. I ran out of the kitchen and ran outside to see Diane crush Ban. I watched as he squirmed out of Diane's grip and land on the ground.
"Relax, Diane." Ban said as he looked to the ground. I could hear pain and sorrow in his voice. "It's not like I knew you guys were going to be here. I'm leaving."
"Ban?" I called out to him. He stopped, it was like he was frozen in place. He didn't turn around to face me. I walked closer to him.
"Sorry, Captain." Ban said, speaking softly. He finally turned around to face me. Before I realized what I was doing, I hugged him and held onto him tightly. This took Ban by surprise. "C-captain?!"
-Five years ago-
Ban and I were out hunting for meals at the tavern. We have been walking for hours with no sign of wild life anywhere. It was definitely unusual.
"Captain, there's a cave over there." Ban said, pointing to dark cave a few yards from us. "Should we check it out?"
"There's nothing out here to catch." I said as I placed my hands behind my head and started walking towards the cave. "We might as well see if there's something hiding in here."
We both entered the cave, looking for any sign that there was something here. The cave was larger than what I thought it would be. It went on for miles. After what felt like a hour of walking, we finally reached the back of the cave.
"It's completely empty." I said, looking around. I noticed Ban was no longer with me. "Huh? Ban, where did you go?"
There was no answer. I was about to walk back out the way we came in when I felt someone's arms wrap around my waist. I looked over my shoulder to see Ban. He moved his face close to mine and smiled.
"What are you doing, Ban?" I asked him, noticing this wasn't his usual behavior. His eyes caught my attention. Instead of his eyes being a bright red, they were completely black. "What's up with your eyes?"
Instead of answering, Ban turned me around to face him. He moved his face closer to mine until his lips brushed against mine. I started to pull away from him, and struggling in his grip. I felt extremely weak. He used his ability on me and I could no longer move. I looked at Ban in fear. What was Ban going to do? I shut my eyes tightly as Ban began to lean closer to me. I felt his lips on mine and opened my eyes in shock. Ban had his eyes closed as he kissed me passionately. I slowly closed my eyes as I leaned into the kiss, and pulled Ban close to me. Ban pulled away so we both could breathe. Ban smirked and pushed me to the ground. I watched as Ban moved to hover over me.
"Why are you doing this?" I asked, trying to keep him from going further. Ban started to laugh. "Ban?"
Ban held up his arm with a knife in his hand. He quickly pierced my chest, nearly hitting my heart. I screamed out in pain and held a hand over my chest. I heard the knife hit the ground and looked up at Ban.
"Captain?" Ban spoke softly as tears streamed down his face. He quickly stood up and backed away from me. I could see his eyes return to normal. "Captain, I'm so sorry."
Ban picked me up carefully and ran out of the cave. He ran faster than I'd ever seen him run, and we arrived at the tavern in less than a hour. Ban ignored Diane's shouts and cries as he ran inside the tavern.
"Merlin!" Ban shouted, and I could hear footsteps quickly coming down the stairs. My vision was going blurry, but I could see Merlin, King, Elizabeth, and Gowther approaching us. "Merlin, please, you have to help him."
My vision started going black. I could feel my energy leaving my body. I could see a faint light in the distance and started walking towards it. I could hear voices that belonged to old friends that died years ago. They were telling me to go into the light, and that I'd be able to see them again if I did. I stepped closer to the light and was about to enter when I heard another familiar voice.
"Captain, I hope you can hear me." Ban spoke softly, I could hear so much pain and guilt in his voice. "I explained everything to the others. I'm so sorry, Captain. I wish we never went into that cave. I don't know what came over me, but I'll never forgive myself for this. I love you, Captain, and I'm always going to love you. Please don't die."
I started running in the direction I heard Ban's voice coming from. I can't die yet, I needed to tell Ban so many things. I slowly opened my eyes, blinking a few times. I was in my room at the tavern. King was sitting next to the bed.
"It's good to see you awake, Captain." King said as he sighed in relief and smiled. "You were nearly a goner."
"Where's Ban?" I asked, trying to sit up with no luck. King noticed and helped me sit up in the bed. King avoided my eyes. "King, where's Ban?"
"He left, Captain."
-Present-
-Ban's POV-
"Sorry, Captain." I said, turning to face Meliodas. Suddenly he hugged me and was holding on tightly. I never expected the captain to hug me after what I had done to him. "C-captain?!" The captain was hugging me. Why? Meliodas looked up at me with tears streaming down his face.
"Don't go, Ban." Meliodas said, holding onto Ban tighter. Meliodas continued to cry as he spoke. "Please, Ban. Don't leave again."
"Captain?" I whispered, staring down at the captain. I was still in shock, and had no clue what I should do.
"It's not fair!" He yelled, lightly punching my chest. "It's not fair. You weren't there when I woke up. You didn't give me the chance to tell you that it wasn't your fault. You didn't give me the chance to tell you that I loved you too." He buried his face in my chest.
I could feel his tears falling on my skin. I wrapped my arms around him and pulled him close to me. Meliodas looked up at me. I wiped the tears from his eyes and smiled softly. I slowly leaned down and kissed him gently. I could feel him wrap his arms around my neck and kiss me back. I pulled away and leaned my forehead against his.
"I'm not going anywhere, Captain."
