Four chapters in one day. Jesus Christ on a cracker.

Ya'll better give me reviews for this shit.

[BAN'S POV]

I couldn't sleep without him. I've been sitting in the hammock for a couple hours, just watching him sleep. 'Seriously Ban, what the fuck is wrong with you. You've turned into a stalker for you ex-love's brother.' He shook his head, trying not to remind himself of how truly odd his situation was. 'But I knew it from the second I read that note…' I watched as King breathed softly, his breathing however, changed slightly and became a bit heavier.

'To think, we could've lost him that day. If I didn't get him to stab me in the chest with that spear, I wouldn't have been able to grab him…' I stood and walked over to the bed, ruffling his hair lightly. 'I love this idiot…' Suddenly the small fairy began thrashing around, and I could feel my face contort into an expression of concern. Suddenly, King brought his left hand up to his cheek and dug his nails into it, dragging downwards. My eyes widened and I grabbed his hand and pulled it away from his face, shaking him with my free hand in an effort to wake him up. "KING! KING, WAKE UP!" I yelled at him, shaking him violently. He then brought his right hand up and dug a single nail into his own throat, quickly slitting it. Blood began to spew everywhere. I heard the door break open and people yelling.

I quickly picked up King and raced him to the bathroom, breaking down the door. A naked Elizabeth sat there in the tub, clearly confused as Meliodas ushered her out of the way and out of the room. I quickly dropped King into the bathtub, continuing to shake him. From under the water, I could see his eyes open and he shot up, coughing violently. Blood continued to trickle from his neck, but less so now. I sighed quietly in relief, knowing he hadn't cut deep enough for it to be fatal. I watched as he looked up and me and began to cry, wrapping his arms around my neck.

"It's okay, you're safe."

It had been 3 days since the last incident, and King's condition was getting worse. His illness went back to being as bad as it was before, and now the bleeding has begun flowing even with the bandage wrapped over it. Meliodas and I sat outside his room on the floor, a dark mood flooded over us. "He's going to die, unless one of us does something." Meliodas looked over at me as I said that with a tired, blank look on his face.

"But which one of us should do it?" Meliodas asked, crossing his arms. "He's too out of it to make a decision." I paused, taking a deep breath.

"I'll do it…" I looked over at him. "I know you don't see him that way and I'd hate for your friendship to be ruined because of it." Meliodas glanced back at me.

"So that means you see him that way?" The blonde asked, leaning his head back so it hit the wall. I chuckled and ran a hand through my hair.

"Damn… this wasn't how it was supposed to happen…" I was so angry but so sad at the same time. "Why did he have to ruin everything for me…" Meliodas stood and walked over to me, patting me on the head lightly for reassurance as he passed.

"I know it wasn't your choice, but I think in the end he'd be happier knowing it was you." The Captain turned and gave me a smile and a thumbs up.

"Good luck."

Well shit... we all know what's gonna happen next.
