"Meliodas stop lagging" Ban shouts over his shoulder, not bothering to look over at the small boy following him

"I'm not!" Meliodas shouted while stomping closer and harder on the muddy ground, Ban scoffed at that because he knew that reaction would come out.

They had been walking through the woods in search of food but were unsuccessful so started heading back to The Boar Hat; it was now dark. Stomping along the long muddy path in which shadows of trees painted the broken path.

"Ugh, how long until were back?" Meliodas grumbled flipping his silky blonde hair back for effect

"I don't know but stop your whining" Ban shot, he was beginning to lose his temper which was expected after listening to Meliodas whine for over an hour.

Meliodas had not slept in 38 hours and it was taking its toll now, after Elizabeth and Gother he was going into what Diane calls his 'child mode' which translates as he acts like a young child. Ban could sense Meliodas was tired, he could not hear the gentile clad of boots behind which meant he was lagging behind yet he could hear small yawns from over his shoulder. Sparing a glance Ban looked over his shoulder he could see the smaller body trudging behind, knees bent, eyes drooping and his head leaning forward. Ban gave a gentile smile before swivelling his body around to face him, leaning down Ban pulled Meliodas up by his armpits and placed him on his hip.

"Wha.. ary doin" Meliodas questioned wrapping his legs around his waist and short arms around his neck as if scared to fall off.

"You're never going to get back at the pace you're walking so ill carry you back and before you start grumbling I'm not letting you down so there is no point" Ban explains

Meliodas huffed and released his grip a little relaxing into the heat in which Ban radiated. It was comfy in large arms, it felt safe Meliodas thought. He rested his head on the broad shoulder and sighed, a warm hand began to rub up and down his small frame. It was . Safe.

Ban continued his slow pace walk and continued rubbing the small boy's back. Ban glanced at the small body, his eyes closed and a peaceful smile was painted on his face. It was cute, beyond actually. In the distance a small light could be seen, The Boar Hat, finally.

Opening the door Ban was immediately engulfed by warmth, the small candles flickered and everything was silent, quiet, peaceful. It was their home. Leaning down Ban placed a gentile kiss on Meliodas' forehead watching at the small smile creeping on Meliodas' face.

"Goodnight, little one."

If you haven't already noticed I like Meliodas being carried, sleeping and all cute also being referred to as a boy because I imagine him as 12 - 13.

I need ideas about what to write so please give me some ideas.

For what I have seen so far I am the only one who writes this kind of stuff about Ban and Meliodas.

I hope you can understand this is all new to me so don't judge me too hard.

I am not going to promise regular uploads as I need to find inspiration before writing but I will keep writing.

Please make a comment even if you don't like it I would love to hear it to improve my skills.

I WILL be writing more so keep an eye out.

I will write at least 10 if I get 15 reviews I will keep going from 10.

I hope you like my one-shots/ drabbles!
