37. Outfit
Meliodas tugged on his black vest, staring at his outfit with wide eyes. "This is so cool," he said, pulling on the red tie. "I've always wanted to wear something like this!"
Throwing his bag over his shoulder, Meliodas tucked his broken sword neatly in its scabbard, making sure it stayed in place. Shyly glancing back to the lady, he blinked.
Their clothes were awfully similar, her's lacking a vest and long sleeves.
Matching outfits, he realized, cheeks heating up-
"I'm glad you like it!" Elizabeth said with a bright smile, hands behind her back as Hawk made a nod of approval.
"It looks so much better than your old knight clothes you wore when we first met."
"Hey!"
"I speak of the truth."
The day ended with bright laughter and joking scowls.
"Thank you, Lady Elizabeth," he said, fiddling with the edges of his clothing.
She beamed at him, the light of the moon reflecting off of the surface of her hair.
She was beautiful, Meliodas realized.
Very, very beautiful.
(Mentally slapping himself, he went back to do some chores.)
The search of the Seven Deadly Sins with Meliodas (cough, Captain of the Seven Deadly Sins) and Lady Elizabeth (mysterious kind tavern owner) begins! On the side note, (inspiration from Yami's drawing for the cover) all of Meliodas' toddler clothing is ordered by the very goddess herself.
