An A to Z guide of Melizabeth by Fullmetal Pyromaniac

B is for...

Basorexia

Meliodas awoke one morning with a strange urge. A constant pulling in his stomach. Something he couldn't describe. The dawn sun seeped through the white curtains that hung in the room that he and Elizabeth shared.

Ropes were lying snapped on the bed whilst his arm was wrapped around and unconscious Elizabeths waist. He snickered and peered over at her. Elizabeths fringe lay over her face, making her look oh, so innocent. Her plump lips were opened slightly. Only the slight sound of her breathing could be heard this early in the morning.

Meliodas sat up, rubbed the sleep out of his eyes and noticed the urge. It wasn't physical like he has assumed -He took a cold shower anyway- it was just there. An ache almost.

But Meliodas ignored it, got dressed after his shower and took one last look at Elizabeth. The ache returned stronger than ever. It almost pained him, so he decided to treat her to breakfast in bed with some tea for then both. Maybe he was sick? Tea should help.

He awoke a very hungover Ban with a saucepan and wooden spoon. Then that didn't work, Meliodas poked out one of his eyes with the spoon.

"The hell, Captain?! D'you mind not gouging my eyes out at" Ban paused, checking the time "...seven in the morning?"

Meliodas shrugged and sat on one of the counters, watching as the undead sin shoved his eye back in the socket and waited for it to reattach itself. He always found Bans 'regrowth' to be totally fascinating.

"So what're you getting me up at this time for?" Ban asked. Meliodas shrugged and leant on his knees.

"I dunno. I woke up feeling strange, with this odd feeling in my stomach. It seemed to get more noticeable when I looked at Elizabeth"

Ban grinned and crossed his arms. His scarlet eyes glinting with mirth.

"So capt'in. When a man gets excited, something happens in his nether regions. You're older than me I thought you'd know all this already!"

Meliodas scowled and threw the spoon at him with so much force that it went right through his cheek bone and got lodged in his face. Ban yelped and pulled it out, still grinning.

"Sorry capt'in, couldn't help myself" he joked then, assuming the captain wanted food, put on his apron and began gathering pots and pans.

"In all seriousness, Capt'in, why don't you ask 'Walking, mind-reading dictionary' out there. I'm sure he'd be of help"

As if on cue, Gowther appeared in the kitchen. Ban mumbled something like 'Freak' under his breath and began preparing eggs.

"You wanted me, captain?" Gowther announced, fixing his glasses and saluting.

"Sure, Gowther. I nee-"

There was a flash of blue light that emitted from Gowthers two fingers and struck the Captains head like a homing device. Gowther frowned and closed his eyes while Ban and Meliodas watched him intently. Suddenly, his bright yellow eyes opened and he fixed his glasses once again.

"Captain. What I believe you are experiencing is known as...Basorexia"

Ban scoffed and went back to his eggs, Meliodas leaned further forward.

"Basorexia? What is that?"

Gowther closed his eyes once more and crossed his arms.

"Basorexia. Noun. The overwhelming desire to kiss, in this case, Princess Elizabeth"

Ban snickered and flipped the omelette. "I was close!"

Meliodas frowned, this did explain what he was feeling earlier. Usually when he woke before Elizabeth, he look in her peaceful looking face or brushed the hair out of her eyes. He never really looked at her lips.

Ban waved a hand in front of his face and Meliodas snapped out of his trance.

"I got your food, Capt'in" Meliodas muttered his thanks and took the tray of spinach omelettes and mint tea up the stairs. Ignoring Gothers "Good luck with the Princess" and Bans "Don't get to raunchy up there!"

*~*~ B is for... ~*~*

Elizabeth was still sleeping when Meliodas went back into their bedroom. Her silver hair was lit up beautifully and he had to look away before the urge became too strong. She deserved someone better than a demonic ex-criminal.

Meliodas placed the tray on her bedside table and gently shook her shoulder.

"Elizabeth, it time to wake up, okay? I brought omelettes and tea"

"I hope you didn't make them yourself" Elizabeth murmured sleepily and Meliodas grinned, helping her sit up and handing her a hot plate. Elizabeth hummed and took in the gorgeous aroma of the food. Meliodas sat next to her, his own plate rested on his lap.

"This is truly delicious, Sir Meliodas, I trust that you did not make it" Elizabeth jested, handing Meliodas his cup of mint tea. Meliodas chuckled and ate a bite of his food.

"Nah, it was Ban. I woke him up to make us breakfast"

"I hope it wasn't too much trouble. I'd hate it if you and Sir Ban woke early just for me" Elizbeth pouted, Meliodas turned away and focused on his plate.

"It was fine, Ban didn't mind. Besides I had something to discuss with him"

This piqued Elizabeths interest, she swallowed her mouthful and turned to face him.

"Why? Is there something bothering you?" She looked away and mumbled, "something you couldn't tell me?..."

Meliodas nearly choked on his food.

"Not at all, we were just discussing what town we're going to next" he lied, Elizabeth frowned.

"I see..." She took a sip of her tea, "Sir Meliodas, Diane mentioned there was a festival in town tonight. I-I was wondering if-f you wanted to accompany me to the festival"

"Of course I would, Elizabeth" Meliodas said, ignoring the alarm bells that went off in his head. Basorexia, remember? What if you give into it and kiss her?

"G-great" Elizabeth stammered. Then they changed the subject.

*~*~ B is for... ~*~*

Night came quickly and before long, King and Meliodas were waiting by the front door for Diane and Elizabeth.

"C'mon guys, we're going to miss all the good stalls" King shouted up the stairs. He and Meliodas were wearing their normal clothes, but just Looked a little more refined. Meliodas' hair was tamed slightly whilst Kings ginger hair was combed neatly to each side.

"Give us a minute!" Diane yelled, "Don't you want us to look pretty?"

Even as a human, Diane could be scary. She walked down the stairs a few minutes later wearing a long straight violet dress. Her hair was straightened and cascaded down her back. King turned red and floated towards her, Diane took a lock of her hair and hid her mouth behind it.

Elizabeth appeared just after wearing a flowing silvery dress that ended at her ankles revealing white heels with a two inch heel. Her hair was braided with blue flowers.

"You look good, Elizabeth"

Elizabeth blushed and looked at the floor.

"Thank you, y-you look good too"

Meliodas took her hand carefully, the basorexia that Gowther mentioned grew stronger.

"Don't keep them out too late, boys. I want them back by one at the latest" Merlin jested as she sashayed into the main room. Meliodas grinned and wrapped his arm around Elizabeths slim waist.

"Of course Merlin" Meliodas joked back, squeezing Elizabeth to his side. "We'll be back by one at the latest"

And with that they left the bar and headed towards town.

*~*~ B is for... ~*~*

Even at half past eleven at night, the town was bustling with different people, stalls and music. King and Diane had left earlier to see some other stalls leaving Meliodas and Elizabeth alone together.

It was reaching midnight, the festival was just starting. People were finding decent spots to watch the fireworks, Meliodas and Elizabeth hadn't stopped talking all night and even better, their night wasn't spoiled by unwanted attention on Elizabeths behalf. Thanks to a few subtle glares from Meliodas.

Elizabeth stared at the sky for a few minutes, completely unaware of Meliodas' staring, and sighed.

"You okay, Elizabeth?" Meliodas asked, Elizabeth nodded.

"I'm fine, Sir Meliodas, it's just we'll never be able to see the fireworks from here. The street lights are too bright and it's too crowded." She sighed then looked at Meliodas with a soft smile. "It's okay though, I'm sure we'll be able to see them fine from here"

Meliodas scoffed and shook his head. "Nope, I've been to the Edinburgh festival a ton of times. You can't see anything from here" He picked Elizabeth up bridal style and began running.

"Sir Meliodas!?" She shrieked, making sure her flowing skirt didn't show anything. Meliodas stopped a few minutes later on top of a huge hill that over looked Edinburgh. The large clock in the middle of town read 11:57.

"This is the best spot in town, Elizabeth" Meliodas whispered, setting her down on the grass and sitting next to her. Elizabeth entwined their hands.

"You can see everything from here, even the Boar Hat! It's amazing!" She exclaimed with wonder. Meliodas gulped and clenched the hand that wasn't holding Elizabeth's.

The basorexia returned full force. It wasn't even lust or wanting to make out like he had teased her with before. It was the urge to hold her in his arms whilst he pressed soft, open mouth kisses all over her.

It was the urge to brush his lips over her own and savour her, take his time and make sure she knew that she was loved.

Resist, Resist, Resist.

11:58 came and the town grew noisier, though it didn't disturb the couple on the hill. They sat in silence just bathing in each other's company. Then 11:59 came and Elizabeth lay her head on Meliodas' shoulder.

"Sir Meliodas?" She whispered, he stiffened.

"What's up Elizabeth?"

"Y-You know..." She stammered, "There's a tradition, not just here but in Lyoness too, that if you kiss someone the minute that it becomes midnight and the fireworks start that you'll stay with that person forever..."

The crowd surrounding the clock began chanting back from twenty, Meliodas sat up straight and tilted Elizabeth's face so she was looking at him. Her eyes were gazing at him, nervously but adoringly.

"What do you mean by that?" Meliodas whispered back.

Must resist, must resist, must resist. Don't let the basorexia win.

Elizabeth blushed even more red and looked away. The crowd reached ten.

"I-I" she stammered, "I...I want..."

Meliodas' heart started to race. Elizabeth brought her lips to his ear.

"I want to spend forever with you" she breathed out. Meliodas grasped her chin and put his lips to hers just as the crowd reached zero and fireworks lit up the town of Edinburgh. Just like that, Meliodas gave into the basorexia and it was fucking worth it. Elizabeth pulled away, lips slightly swollen and blushing pink.

Meliodas didn't want to spend forever with anyone else but her.

The end.
