What If—? A Seven Deadly Sins Fanfic

by genderfluid-mess

The first of my hopefully many "what if?" stories, this will be about the events that would have occurred if Ban found a mysterious stranger in Baste Prison and took them with him when he broke out. How will things change from the original plot? Who is this stranger and what about them was so significant that Ban brought them with him? Keep reading to find out ;)

Part 3 - Dinner

Ban's POV

"Elix!" I cried out. "Where were you?"

"Out," they answered simply, shifting from one foot to the other.

"Okay, Elizabeth," Meliodas said. "This is Ban, the Fox Sin of Greed."

"Nice to meet you," I said, slouching on top of the barrel. "And this," I gestured extravagantly at Elix. "Is Elix. I picked them up at Baste."

"Them?" Elizabeth echoed, at the same time Meliodas repeated: "Baste?"

"Roll with it," I advised. "So Elix, this is Elizabeth, Meliodas, and Diane. Meliodas is the Dragon Sin of Wrath and Diane is the Serpent Sin of Envy. We used to fight together back in the day."

Elix laughed. "You're making yourself sound old."

"We are old, technically," Meliodas chimed in. "How old are you?"

"23." Elix responded. "I look younger, though."

My mouth dropped open. "I though you were like 15!"

The corner of Elix's mouth twitched up slightly.

"So Ban," Meliodas cut in. "Where'd you get that outfit?"

Elix's POV

"You're drunk," I murmured into Ban's ear, trying to drag him over to the wall.

"Sit with meee," he whined, words slurring from the insane amount of alcohol he had consumed.

"Fine," I rolled my eyes, slouching against the wall.

"You're welcome," Ban grinned after a few moments of silence, head lolling in my direction.

I raised an eyebrow. "Okay, Mr. Humility. Thank you for getting me out of Baste today."

"Are you gonna stay?" Ban asked.

I shook my head, eyes darting to the ground. "I doubt that's an option."

"Actually," Meliodas said, suddenly appearing in front of us. "It is." He extended his hand out to me. "If you'd like to be a part of the team, that is."

I stood and shook his hand. "Okay, sure. Why not?"

Ban's POV

"Will you sleep with me?" I asked, looking up at Elix, who had me leaning on their shoulder and was unsuccessfully trying to drag me down the dirt path to the tavern.

"No, you pervert." they said, sticking their tongue out at me.

"Okay," I whispered, flopping my head onto their shoulder. Elix groaned in frustration.

By the time we got back to the tavern, Elix looked like crap. Breathing heavily from exhaustion, they tried to gently set me down on the stairs, then collapsed dramatically on the ground.

"You good?" I asked.

"NNNRNGH NOOOOOOOO," they responded.

"Okay, good. Just checking."

"Screw you. Why are you so heavy, anyway?"

Soon, I found myself in my bed, Elix looking at me from above. I had no idea how I had gotten there.

"See you tomorrow, Ban." they said, turning to leave.

"Wait," I found myself saying. And then I reached up and pulled Elix on top of me in a hug, burying my face in their neck.

They flinched uncomfortably. "Okay, dude. Are you always this touchy when you're drunk?"

"Yup," I confirmed, not letting go. "And I get drunk a lot."

"Great," they whispered sarcastically, melting into my hug.
