Meliodas's eyes flutter, waking up after a relaxing deep sleep. He felt like he's never slept this long till the afternoon of the day in a long time. And he thinks Ban really is the one to be with; he smiles to himself stretching an arm out to find him, But he only felt bed sheets.

Even though he misses the warmth of Ban's body, he's too tired to ask where he is or to wonder where. Instead he sighs, and closes his eyes to rest once more. Taking small breaths and whiffs of the scent of Ban on his pillow, comforting his need.

-------

"EEeekk!!!" Diane screams as Ban finally allows her to hold the petite fancy box in her hands. He told her once, to be careful with the rings, because they are fragile and can break with enough force. She did push it away ignoring that fact and looked at the rings closely and started to ask questions.

"So when are you going to ask the question?" Diane teased.

"Ahem," Ban starts. "we're right in front of the tavern, keep it down..." He shushed Diane up, king tried to defend her but she didn't mind. Diane knew Meliodas was a Demon, and who knows, he might have sensitive hearing.

"Just keep it down you two, this is supposed to be a surprise." Ban placed his index finger over his lips,  shushing them and their eager questions wanting to be answered.

Ban was at first confused at to why king would let this slide by, but I think he only accepts this because Diane loves it. But Ban doesn't care of what people think about him and Meliodas, it's what he thinks about them. Mel said that himself, an inspiring speech he would say. Because Ban didn't really care for other humans, nor did he trust them. And it's not like anytime soon he'll trust one, besides Jericho, she's different and humble.

-------

Ban is already thanking any person out there in the world for that Duke was know where to be found in the tavern, just empty quiet space, waiting to be stenched with the pure smell of booze and food.

He started to wonder where Meliodas is as he hides the box in his thick red coat, then stepping up stairs to stop in front of Mel's door. It was quiet...

Too quiet....

"Mel?" Ban starts. Opening the door slowly, only hearing the creaking of the wooden door and it's lack of oiling showing clear as day.

"Meliodas." Ban spoke a bit louder, as he only saw sheets of bedding in one pile on a random spot on the bed. Sensing nobody in the room...

"Mel? Meliodas!?" Ban paced himself as he went in the room swiftly, his heart raced as he feared the worst.

"What....?" A small voice, sounding exhausted and not in the mood. It was Meliodas. His head poked out of the pile of bedding on the cushy bed, and Ban sighed of relief. Yet thinking at how somehow Mel was able to vanish his presence just being under some sheets of simple bedding. It's seems to amaze him of what a demon could do, at least his demon.

"I swear, you scared the crap out of me." Ban swooped in to cradle Meliodas like a bride, the blonde locks of hair expands like free hair flowing in water. Ban placed him in his lap with Mel on his back facing up at him with sincere eyes. And his hands play with the blonde bits of strands, then running his hand through Mel's scalp, messaging and comforting him.

Meliodas giggles as he frees one of his petite hands to place it on Ban's jaw line, sliding down slowly, memorizing his face and features. "You're so handsome." Mel purrs as his fingers curl to just barely feel the thin blonde hairs of Ban's face and cheeks.

"And you're so beautiful." He flirts back smoothly, getting a smile from that adorable face. Ban shivers at Meliodas's light touch to his face.
"What would I do without you..." Ban whispers just enough for Mel to hear and it makes him smile.

"A lot of things actually." Meliodas laughed, as Ban grins and asked, "like what?"

"We--ll," He starts and a short pause
Happens between his sly grin.

"You wouldn't feel this open to a demon." Meliodas sat up in Ban's lap, sliding the sheets off, showing an oversized black shirt.

"Is that my shirt?" Ban questions as he notices the shirt stopping in the middle of Meliodas's upper thigh, exposing his slick legs. "Maybe..." He says in a sly tone.

"That's fine, did you not have any of your own tops? Or something else." He asked as he brought Mel into a hug with his hand on Mel's arm, his body felt warm as his hands once again brush through the blonde locks.

"I missed your smell.... So I wore your shirt" Meliodas starts. "You smell good." He continues, sitting up to his knees and to wrap his arms around Ban neck to bring him up to his face. Mel rested his head on Bans shoulder, tilting his head enough to have his nose just barely touching against his neck. Inhaling his scent, it was like a drug to him, the scent of the piney woods and booze.

Ban's face twitches as his skin tickles with the small blonde hairs from Mel's petite head yet wild hair, tickling against his face.

Ban also takes in Mel's scent, the scent of strong, pure ginger tickles his nose. His demon was so sweet in everyway, except when he's angry, but still, he's precious to Ban and he won't let him go and be with anyone else. He just can't let that happen, he just wants him all to himself, it's all in his sin.

Greed.

"I want to keep you.... I want to steal you away from this world...... I want to thieve you away from any individual who wants you.... I want your love for only for me, and no one else. I want to show everyone that you're mine and mind only. I know I'm asking for so much but please, I just love you too much to lose you now, I----" Mel smashed his lips on Ban's, wanting to be breathless with his lips; leaving no air left within his lungs. Their tongues danced in their wet mouths tasting each other throughout their dominating kiss.

Mels body starts to feel heavy to him, slowly slipping with the strength of his legs, then Ban swiftly holds his buff and strong arm under Meliodas's fundament for Meliodas to relax his strength on. He yelped as Ban brought him up unexpectedly having his head against Mels clothed chest.

Meliodas smiled warmly, holding Ban's head open with full arms and pure heart, accepting his wanted affection from him.

"I want to have this child with you Ban even if it means that I must be stolen by you. Take me away from this world if you need to and if you feel comfortable with that. Tell everyone that I'm yours, prove them that you love me with all your heart and I'll do the same." Meliodas starts.
"I love you too, and I always will. My feelings for you will never change. My praise for you is true and I don't regret saying one of them cause I love and care for you too much.... Ban, be greedy about me. Take every last part of me for your want and need along with your greed. Swallow the love out of me to take as your own, as long as I'm with you."

Mel shuddered his last breaths of air left, from his long speech, with Ban nibbling his neck aggressively with his teeth lightly grinding and waiting to bite down a mark on the fair, olive skin.

His free hand grips Meliodas's waist to bring his warm body closer, and the feeling of a couple hearts out of synch while they pound so loudly.

"I'll prove that I love you and we can be together forever..." Ban was confident in his tone, his grip tightening as he felt like losing Meliodas so quickly. Like not watching or even holding onto Mel for even a split second and he felt like he would lose him within a heart beat.

"Ban," Meliodas starts. Bringing his form down to see Ban's hooded eyes now looking at him with pure feelings from his soul. "I don't know what I would do without you either..." He brings himself to lightly peck Ban with his lips against his, as lightly as a birds wings blowing air from it's wings.

"But what about... Duke---" Before Ban could even continue to speak, his mouth was silenced with Meliodas's index finger up lightly to his lips. Then a quiet shush hushing Ban, calms his worry away hearing his lovers purrs and touch on his face.

"Only you matter..." Meliodas smiles. "Duke won't bother us when we have the child, I promise." His voice was quiet, yet it had a hint of darkness underneath the innocence of Mel's face and voice.

"You have my words of praise, Ban, I won't be harmed. Not even my child... Your child."

"Our child." Ban corrects. And hears a giggle from his demon.

"Our child..." Meliodas repeats.
