It's the lemon part of the fic, so I hope you are ready! (sorry if it's not what you were expecting, but I don't want it to be too dirty. I hope you enjoy it anyways)


The group finally reaches the giant pig hut once more and one by one they make their way into its domain.

"Captain, Diane and King have yet to return….should we wait for them?" Gowther tilts his head to the side as he prods his captain for answers.

"Of course we are gunna wait for them, we aren't gunna leave without them!" Meliodas laughs as he flicks the sin on his nose. Gowthers face scrunching up in confusion.

"Why did the captain flick my nose just now? I don't understand." Rubbing his nose, he turns to ban for his next answer.

"Could you do anything else other than ask questions for once?" Ban yawns and folds his arms behind his head.

"I can suggest that we all go to bed seeing as the majority of us seem to be falling asleep in our chairs, would that help?" Gowther asks ironically and Ban yawns once more.

"That's not a bad idea Gowther, but we are gunna have to buddy up since we are growing with members and not beds. So I'll be with the princess of course and Aurthur can share a bed with Merlin." Meliodas grins as he imagines what spending the night next to his silver haired princess has in store for him this time. He begins to rub the princess bottom unknowingly and the group collectively begins to stomp him into the floor, only stopping when King and Diane interrupt the scene for just a second as they open the door and meet a strange sight of the sins all pummeling their captain. Diane gasps and rushes to his side, helping him up off the floor which causes king to sigh.

"Hey you two, where did you guys run off too?" Meliodas asks brushing himself off. "Were you two having a lovers fight?" He chuckles out teasingly.

"You always think you're so funny don't you captain." King hisses out and Meliodas backs off, not wanting to upset the fairy king anymore.

"Well if you are all done with your pervy imagination captain, I'd like to point out that that leaves Gowther, King, Ban, Diane and Escanor without beds and there's only two beds left." Merlin sighs in frustration.

"Well Diane likes to sleep outside, so that's not a problem right Diane?" His hand groping Elizabeths rear end again as he tries to calm his thoughts of her and him alone in their bed. Diane nods and replies with "Anything for you captain! Now stop that!" She punches his face playfully, but still hard enough to send him flying into the walls. He picks himself up and starts his conversation once again.

"As for the boys, they can sleep together no problem! Gowther with Escanor and Ban and King! There are we all set now? In that case goodnight sins!" Meliodas says with excitement as he returns to Elizabeths side and lifts her up in his arms, making his way upstairs with her. She starts to fight his strong arms off herself, but she remembers his strength and gives up, too tired to fight.

"But captain?!" Diane and King both protest for different reasons. Meliodas ignores their protests and continues up to his room, his princess already nodding off in his arms.

'I wanted to sleep with Diane.' Kings head hangs as he makes his way behind the captain up the stairs.

'Why does Elizabeth always get to sleep with the captain?' Diane sighs and opens the door to the tavern, making her way outside into the night. The air thick with tension, the rest of the sins decide to break the silence by making their way into their beds, partnered up with people they wish they didn't have to sleep next to.

Meliodas closes the door to his room behind himself and walks over to the bed that lies in the middle of the room. He lies the girl he carried up to his room on the bed and lets out a hefty sigh.

"Glad that day is over, time to sleep for a new one. I should probably give her back her mask now.' He places his hand on her shoulder and she shivers.

"Elizabeth, are you cold?" He whispers, not wanting to startle her from her sleep.

"Yes, could I have a blanket?" She whispers back. Meliodas has to catch his breath when he feels hers on his face and starts to chuckle.

"If you are awake, why are you whispering to me?" He questions as he pulls the blanket up to her chin.

"I'm too tired to raise my voice, I know that sounds stupid." She yawns eyes fluttering closed.

"Well you want to know what else is stupid?" His voice drops in pitch slightly and the volume gets even softer. He sits on the bed next to her and digs her mask out of his pocket.

"What's that?" Elizabeth coos eyes still closed.

"I really don't want to give you this mask back. I think you have such beautiful eyes." He murmurs hoping she's too deep in her sleep to hear him, but her eyes flash open and tears begin to form inside of them.

"Sir Meliodas?" She gasps trying to steady her heart. "Please don't say things like that, I…I get a scary feeling when you do." Elizabeth pulls the blankets up to her nose, not wanting Meliodas to see her face so red like this.

"Me too." He smirks and leans his face closer to hers. Her eyes widen and she pulls the blankets down a bit to look at him. She notices his eyes slowly closing and for some reason hers start to feel heavy. she can no longer keep them open as their faces pull each other's closer meeting in the middle with a deep kiss. Her eyes fly open again and she lets out a small moan that causes Meliodas to grab her shoulders in an unconscious motion. He gasps, breaking the kiss and tearing his hands off from her shoulder. He jumps to his feet and pants heavily, making damn sure he doesn't look into her eyes. He couldn't handle the look on her face now, he could only imagine the pain he had caused her again. Just as he always does. Curiosity takes control of his actions though and he turns to face her. He notices her lips first, which are curled up into a grin and then her eyes which haven't closed since they broke apart.

"Sir Meliodas, I….I learned a lot today about the kingdom." Elizabeths eyes drop to the floor as she changes the subject. "You being truthful with me and treating me like some naive princess, it made me realize how much you are trying to keep things together. It must be hard, having to constantly keep walking on eggshells. You only slip up when you are alone with me. I don't want you to feel like you have to pussyfoot around me. If there is something I can do to help, you'll tell me won't you? How can I help you take down these walls you build around yourself when I'm near and let me in?" She wipes a few stray tears that have managed to escape as she was talking and he lets out another hefty sigh.

"Elizabeth, I don't want you to know the truth about me, if you knew you wouldn't understand." He sits himself back down next to her and relaxes his shoulders a bit.

"How do you know? What could be so horrible that you can't tell me? You have told me so much today, what is left to hide?" Elizabeth begs for him to tell her his secrets and his heart tears at him to just say it already. Just tell her about Liz, tell her how much she reminds you of your dead lover. It screams so loud in his ears and he holds his head in his hands. Elizabeth can feel the bed tremor with his silent sniffles and he can't take his sorrow any longer. Holding it in this whole time has been eating away at him for years and now that Liz is finally staring back at him he can no longer hold it in. Without looking at her he collects himself and keeps his head buried in the palms of his hand. His voice so quite Elizabeth has to scoot next to him to hear his thoughts.

"When I was younger, long before I lived in and served Lioness, I…I was a king myself. I had everything I could have ever wanted and never really gave it much thought. I was a humble king and I had a beautiful, friendly empire. My people were content and most of them happy, but of course with every monarchy, there are traitors who are unhappy. One of these 'rebels' I guess we can call them was a silly naive girl, who looked much like yourself, Elizabeth." He looks at her face between his fingers and drops his hands to his knees now. He chokes down a lump forming in his throat and continues to pry his feelings open for her sake.

"She was foolishly captured and they were actually going to behead her, I have never seen a woman look so strong and brave as they told her she was going to die. Her face never changed, like stone the whole time they said horrible things to her. I wasn't going to let a woman be murdered in my kingdom, so I freed her and kept her in my castle as compromise. The more time we spent together though, the more we grew attached. The rebels eventually became too strong for my knights though and pretty soon I had no one to defend my kingdom any longer. Liz she….she snuck out one night to try to convince the objectors to stop, but….s…she… I just never thought my civilization could be so cruel. I knew everyone personally and never thought they would take anyone's life, especially Liz. When I found her I….well I sort of have a dark power that gets hard to control if I can't keep my emotions at bay and when I found Liz lying there in the street covered in her own blood, I snapped and threw my whole kingdom into hell. I single handedly destroyed my kingdom and I never even got to properly burry her." His hand finding their way back to his face hiding it in shame as his horrible secret spills from his lips. Terrified of her expression he hides himself from her gaze and begins to shed silent tears once again. His eyes snapping open as he feels her arms wrap themselves around his neck.

"Meliodas, h…how horrible that you had to go through that. Liz is the one you spoke of on the night my mask came off in front of the whole tavern isn't she? Is that why you don't want to get to close? It must be hard when I'm around." Elizabeths words soft and tragic as she whispers into his ear causing him to tense up and grab her hand with his. His chest getting tighter hearing his name spoken by her sweet voice for the first time without a prefix. 'My heart won't stop pounding, she smells so sweet.' His thoughts distract him from his sorrow. 'I can't let her see me like this though, I don't want to fall for her all over again, only to lose her once more. I should tell her, maybe she will understand.' His thoughts echo empty in his head as he opens his mouth to speak.

"Elizabeth, I can't go through pain like that again, you understand don't you?" Meliodas turns his head into hers and whispers his inquiry into the girl's ear.

"But Meliodas, I don't want you to feel that way, remember? I want you to be able to confess to me all of your troubles, please let me help you carry whatever sins your shoulders because you are helping me with mine. What will it take for you to open up to me." Elizabeth unwraps her hands from his neck and moves them to the sides of his face, forcing him to look at hers.

"Elizabeth, I have told you what's on my mind, what more are you asking for?" He qualms with a very confused look in his eyes. She leans closer into his face again and kisses him gently, causing him to flinch and his eyes to snap open before slowly closing once again. He places a hand on her face as he finally understands what she means. She breaks the kisses briefly and tries to look at his face, but he stares towards the door, feeling like fleeing for his life before she can grab ahold of his heart. Even if it was too late for that, at least he could save himself from staying the night with her if he left.

"Sir Meliodas, please let me help you forget your troubles tonight. If it ends up causing you to fall for me, let that be my sin. But don't force yourself to put this distance between us, when I can tell how much it hurts you to keep your reserve." She whispers into his ear causing him to snap his head around and look into her shimmering sapphire eyes.

"Elizabeth, would you let me stay with you tonight? Is that what you would want from me? What good will forcing this bond of ours closer do?" His brow furrows as his emotions take control. He tries to hold himself back, but hearing her confession rings loudly in his ears. Elizabeth turns her face, her turn to stare blindly at the door, thinking of how letting Meliodas be alone with his thoughts would be easier, rather than trying to understand his frame of mind.

"I'm not sure, but I do know that being together now would be easier than always trying to pretend we haven't feelings for one another, right?" Elizabeth blushes when she confronts his views directly.

'O my gods am I really going to do this with him? I knew that what I was doing when I left Liones was wrong, but I didn't expect it to turn into this. Not that I mind I guess, but I always thought my first was going to be different. Maybe more candles or something? What was I really expecting anyways? I just hope he will be gentle, I know I want it to be with someone who is younger than me, but is this really ok? Wait isn't he like 200 years old or something? He said he raised a pig for 200 years, why am I thinking these things? Focus on him Elizabeth he is going to think you don't want to be with him tonight. Do I?' Elizabeths thoughts race as she cups his face with her hand 'I do!' She closes her eyes and lets him study her face while she thinks of the things they are about to do together.

'She may look like Liz, but I know now that she is much more, she is her own person and if it comes down to it, I will give my life to keep from having to let her go once more. I guess it's alright for me to want to be with her like this. I don't think I would have been able to fight this feeling for much longer anyhow.' He convinces himself as he kisses her for a third time that night. This time with more passion which makes Elizabeth release another accidental small moan that drives Meliodas crazy and he pushes her body down onto the bed. She gasps and her eyes fly open again. They meet a pair of emerald ones which haven't left her face once since she kissed him.

"Elizabeth, we really don't have to do this. I don't want you to force yourself to do something you might not want to just because you think it's what you have to do to get into my heart." He looks into her eyes with worry and she smiles up at him replying "I know that, but I know how much stress this brings you and I want to help take all your worries away. Be with me tonight, so then you won't have to worry about keeping yourself from being wounded once again. I know I can't convince you that it won't hurt when I'm gone, but at least we can share these moments together, without having to ignore them and act like this tension doesn't exist. I can't imagine what losing Liz was like for you, but pretending you don't want to be with me now must hurt just as bad, because I know the sensation of wanting your arms around me makes my chest feel like it could explode at any minute. All I want is for this pain to go away, I know you must feel the same." Her forehead touches his as she speaks.

"Elizabeth, there are other ways." He whispers softly in her face while she closes her eyes.

"They don't feel as right as this. Somehow, this feels better even if it is also a bit terrifying. That sounds stupid too, doesn't it?" She blushes with a frown on her face, disappointed in herself for wanting something so shameful.

"It does, but I feel the same way." He sighs and kisses her again pulling her Pjs up her leg and past her belly button revealing a pair a pink lace underwear bellow. Elizabeth gasps from his sudden act of force. The cold air hits her body and she shivers. Meliodas senses her discomfort and covers the two of their bodies with the blankets. Call him old fashion, but he liked the feeling of privacy the blankets gave when he took a girl to bed with him. He swallows the lump in his throat one more time before taking off his shirt along with his pants. His bare legs touching hers now as he made his way underneath the blankets to kiss her stomach. She lets out a tiny squeak as he kisses lower and lower, reaching her panties. He bites the elastic and rolls the undies down her legs with his mouth. His pants heavy as he comes back up to catch his breath and places his finger onto her clit. She blushes and the only thing she can think to do was kiss his soft lips to hide her embarrassment.

'He can't see me like this! If I kiss him he can't see me, right?' She screamed to herself in her head as he rubs her gently. He grins as he realizes what she was doing.

"Don't be shy Elizabeth, let me see your eyes again." He murmurs into her cheek in a husky voice thick with passion and hot from all of the breath he was holding onto. He trails his kisses down her chin and onto her neck, causing her to buck slightly and his grin widens. Her moans getting a little louder now, Meliodas has to shush her, reminding them there are other people sleeping in the rooms around. She blushes deeper and whispers sorry which makes him chuckle lightly as he continues to kiss her. Elizabeth trembles from the feeling of his kisses wavering with chuckles. He grabs himself now and begins to place himself next to her opening. He starts to force himself inside, gently, and Elizabeth feels a sharp pain tear her open below. She gasps with discomfort and beings to shed a few pain filled tears. Meliodas wipes her face with a free hand and backs off of her body.

"I'm sorry, did I hurt you?" He whispers into her ear still wiping her cheek with a thumb. She shakes her head violently, not wanting him to stop and begs him to continue. He puts himself back inside of her body and pushes his girth into her. By now there is enough of himself to pull out and force back in and it's becoming a little easier once her body starts to loosen up. He can feel her getting wetter with each thrust and his heart starts to beat faster with each plunge into her. She grabs his arms to keep herself from moving further up the bed and his hands in response, grab the sheets below. He was finally getting to spend the night with her and he wasn't going to stop now. His body getting closer and closer to the peak, he empties himself into her and falls on top of her body, panting heavily. She gasps for air as her fingers comb their way through his hair, causing him to sigh and wrap his arms around her. He lets out a final sigh before getting up to kiss her cheek and rolls himself off of her body. She turns to face him and whispers a quiet thank you into his ear.

"Goodnight Elizabeth, Sweet dreams." He says kissing her forehead and wrapping his arms around her once more.

"Finally." She sighs as she closes her eyes and drifts off to sleep with Meliodas arms wrapped around her waist.

"Hmm?" He asks his sleeping goddess what she had just said before she drifted away to sleep once more, but she was already out cold, unable to hear his words. He shrugs his shoulders and nuzzles his face into her bangs, following behind her, off to dream sweet dreams.
