You have such a doll-face

Your hands met between your thighs while you stood beside Meliodas, looking fondly at the old man in front of you. Cain shook hands with the blonde before the sin let his hands yet again fall back into the depths of his pockets.

"Leaving so soon?" Meliodas cocks his head to the side, "come have a drink with us".

"Thankyou for the offer" He reaches out and you hold both of his hands in goodbye, "but it was enough just to get to see you two again". 

"Journey safe Cain" You squeeze his wrinkled old palms before letting go.

He tips his head to both of you, "I hope you find Arthur soon".

You beam, "hopefully soon".

Meliodas bumped your shoulder, causing you to look at him, and he gave you a thumbs up before waving after Cain, "take care!"

"Its so nice to meet you Sir Gowther!" Elizabeth tucked a piece of her silver hair behind her ear, her princess earing sparling in the late afternoon light, "I'm Elizabeth, third princess of the Liones Kingdom. Would you please help me save my kingdom from the Holy Knights?"

The sin of lust batted his long eyelashes, "no".

"NO?!" Ban, Diane and King all stood behind Elizabeth with petrified faces, you giggled manically, clutching your closed fingers over your mouth to muffle the high sound. The pink-haired boy flicked his eyes over to your (H/c) locks as they shook under your giggling.

"Uh..." Elizabeth blinked.

"This is not our first time meeting" Gowther replied to the silverette, "we've met before. When you were really young".

(12+ years ago)

"(Y/n)" You heard a familiar monotoned voice as you wandered down the Liones Castle corridor and pushed the large wooden door open into the library.

There you spotted Gowther sitting cross-legged in the middle of the carpeted floor, with a four-year-old Elizabeth sitting on his shoulders trying to eat his hair. You burst out laughing at the sight, Gowther's features were blank, but he seemed a little confused.

"What's wrong?" You wandered over with a hand on your armoured hip, you were still wearing the leg part of your armour after just coming back after a mission. Meliodas, Diane and King were still out on a mission, and Ban was asleep.

"The princess is pulling on my hair" You squatted down in front of the sin of lust, he brushed your fringe away from your face nonchalantly. Elizabeth stopped moving and looked brightly over to you.

"Hi!" She smiled with baby teeth and reached out her little hands to you, you flinched back a bit. Sometimes she reminded you a little too much of Arthur, so small and fragile. It made you upset to see her knowing you couldn't see him.

"Uh...hi" You replied, Gowther reached behind him with one arm and gripped the back of Elizabeth's dress, around the collar, and lifted her off him to the floor.

The little girl picked up her teddy and hugged it to her chest, shoving her thumb into her mouth.

You moved to stand on your knees and dragged your lithe fingers back along Gowther's scalp, there were several knots in his hair now and wet strands of hair from Elizabeth's slobber. You gagged but managed to find the sight rather amusing. "Look what you've done Lizzy" you chuckled, "you got Gowther's hair all messy".

Elizabeth climbed up Gowther's knee, clinging to his slim shoulder to watch what you were doing, "so-wrry Gowtha" she poked Gowther's cheek with her tiny finger. The sin of lust didn't move while you pulled pieces of the pink string to try to braid it out of his face.

"You need a shower to get this out" As you pushed his head forward to get better access to his hair, his forehead resting against your collarbone. Meaning his eyes could fall down past the spaghetti strap shirt you wore underneath where your chest plate would be.

While you braided his hair, the boy sat in silence, like a statue. That was until you felt a finger pulling the edge of your shirt down from the middle, the fingertip brushed between your breasts, "do these keep growing (Y/n)?"

You turned red with embarrassment and covered your chest, "ah Gowther don't touch them!" You said desperately, looking at the ground as your (H/c) hair fell over your low-lidded (E/c) eyes.

Gowther didn't understand what he had done wrong, so he grabbed your hand away from your chest and set it again atop his head, his half-done braid was beginning to loosen.

You sat still for a while, once he held his arms behind his back, you resumed braiding his hair. Elizabeth climbed up your back and held herself in a piggyback to watch you work.

"I guess he's got a point" Ban scratched his neck, "you probably spent a lot of time at the King's side Elizabeth. As a tiny squirt though"

"Eh he he" Diane blushed, "I don't really remember".

King whispered into Gowther's ear, "its rude to talk to the princess like that".

"Pardon me, your Highness" Gowther fixed his glasses.

Elizabeth rolled her shoulders forward, "did... did I meet Sir Meliodas back then too?"

"Maybe" Meliodas said, approaching the group casually, "so Gowther, what's your answer?"

"I accept" The sin's dull gold eyes flickered as he looked to the princess, "it was the kingdom who appointed me one of the Seven Deadly Sins. I have no reason to decline a request by a Liones princess".

The sun had long set and night crept over the tavern. You rubbed your eye as you climbed the stairs to your bedroom. Upon walking in, you spotted Ban sprawled out over the entire bed, King was asleep on his green pillow, which had stretched to be quite large. 

Picking the safest option, you climbed up onto the floating Chastiefol and King rolled over so your foreheads bumped gently. You snuggled into his small chest and sighed tiredly, he smells so good. Below on the bed, Ban grumbled in his sleep.

King woke slowly during the night, he was perplexed as to this foreign warmth nestled against him and he almost yelped as his vision cleared to see you curled against him on his pillow. 

"Ga!" He covered his yelp with his hands, streaks of bright pink decorating his pale face. Your legs were a mess together, one of his between your legs, pinning him close to you. Your hands clutched together over your bosom. One of his arms draped over you at your waist. 

Your nose scrunched up uncomfortably at the fairy's movement, though you were too far gone dreaming. King swallowed and stiffly nuzzled back close to you, resting his chin in your hair.

"Say Gowther" Meliodas ruffled his own blonde locks as he sat down at one of the barstools for breakfast. You set a plate of bacon and eggs in front of him, he gave you a wink while you moved to set down the sin of lust's plate, "There's something I want to ask you... about the incident 10 years ago".

"I know what your going to ask" the other sin replied, poking a fork between his teeth to bite off the piece of bacon, "the one who wiped your memory... the boar sin of gluttony, Merlin".

Merlin?! It was Merlin who took Meliodas' memory of that day? Why? Surely she would have told me her reasons?

"I have not seen her" Gowther continued, "though I've heard numerus rumours of her possible whereabouts".

You bit your nail, turning away from them, Ban raised an eyebrow noticing your strange reaction. 

"Well!" Meliodas snapped you out of your thoughts, "we don't have time for that right now, we need to sneak back into Liones and steal back my sword!"

"Mm" you sipped on your mug of hot cocoa, Hawk trotted up to you to collect your empty cup as you spun on the stool to face the group, "its the dragon hilt we need, its a fragment of a ritual instrument called the Coffin of Eternal Darkness".

Meliodas rubbed his chin, "Its part of a magical seal forged by all of the races in a combined attempt to seal away the demon race".

Elizabeth wiped a tear off her cheek, "then, the Holy Knights really are planning on bringing back the Demon race?"

Diane poked one of the tavern's windows and it shattered so she could poke her face inside, you lifted your arm up to block the shards of glass. None landed on you however as Ban had stepped in front of you. "If they've got your sword, what makes you think they haven't already revived the Demon race?"

"Well its a pretty strong seal" Meliodas crossed his arms.

You nod, "yeah there certainly would be some sort of sign".

"That reminds me" Hawk marched over and poked the sin of wrath in the foot with his trotter, "why were they after (Y/n) and Elizabeth?"

"Because either one could be the key to lifting the seal" A voice rang out from behind you, as you turned your head, your eyes fell on a feminine figure wearing a dark red dress and a metal mask of warped metal over her face. With one swift motion, she struck you and Elizabeth and grabbed you each by the arm.

"(Y/n)!" Meliodas cried out and leapt towards you.

You could feel a pulse of unnatural magic, a teleportation spell. "Your coming with me missy" the figure taunted as she gripped your arm tighter.

You growled, "I don't think so" you stamped the heel of your shoe down onto her toe, "I'm not some damsel in destress!" You managed to pull your hand free but just as you reached for Elizabeth, the two disappeared. Meliodas tackled you to the ground, a second late as he had tried to knock you to the ground out of the way.

He held himself up by his forearms over you, "are you ok? Did she cast any magic onto you?!" His features were wild with worry and his pupils grew to the size of large green grapes.

You shook your head, "we have to save Elizabeth" you screamed, your face watery as you grabbed his arm, "we HAVE to save her before they use her in that ritual!"

"The Kingdom!" Meliodas pulled you up and you released your wings and dove straight outside, Ban, King and Gowther followed in a flurry of feet, "lets go rescue her! Right now!"

King grabbed the back of your shirt to stop you, your white wings were itchy to throw you up to the stratosphere, "What!? We're more than 40 miles from the Kingdom!"

"Without carrying anyone, I can fly at Mach 1 for about 2 minutes before I need to rest, that's more than enough time to get me there" You concluded, pulling off the cloak you wore over your shorter clothes to remove unnecessary weight.

"Diane, you can help me right!" Meliodas looked up at the giant, she balled her fist together and nodded, looking down towards her Captain and you hopefully.

"I've changed my mind" Ban lifted up Meliodas by wrapping his arms around the blonde boy's back, "I'm coming with you".

King growled at him, "Ban!? This is no time to play around!"

Meliodas looked back at the blue-haired man with a concentration in his otherwise childish face, "are you sure?"

"I also have a reason to go now".

Gowther looked to you and you nodded, he walked lazily over to the two boys and wrapped his arms tightly around Ban's back as well, "I will go too".

"Great!" you flew up 30ft, at Diane's eye level, "I'll go first Diane, you just throw after me!"

You gave her a wink, she giggled and winked back, "Forgive me if my aim's a little off!"

"As long as its in the right direction, I don't have a problem!" Meliodas gripped his sword tightly as the giant picked up all three of them in one hand, moving into a stance similar to a javelin throw.

"See you in Liones" You held your fist against your palm in a fight-ready position, a smirk on your face.

The boys smirked back, Diane did too, "not if I throw faster then you can fly!" The giantess grinned.

That's more like it. With a final look back, you let your flight enhanced ability take over and you couldn't even see the ground you were moving so fast. As you approached Mach 1, you could feel your wings beginning to feel hot and ache. Come on, I'm so close. We have to save Elizabeth.

There was a tremendous crushing BANG as you landed outside of the castle walls, skidding nearly 100 ft towards it before you stopped. Steam rose off your body and your wings rested limply on the ground behind you, your head hung low and it took a few seconds before your hair felt gravity again and fell down to your shoulders.

As you heard the battle cries of almost 200 Holy Knights getting ready to run you down, you wiped the blood off your lip, "come on then" your eyes were wracked with fury, "LETS SEE WHAT YOU'VE GOT!"

Voice after voice as the Holy Knights called forth their magical powers and sent them racing towards you. Just as you rose your hand to strike in retaliation, someone leapt in front of you and a metal sound sliced through the air. "FULL COUNTER!"

You stopped in your tracks as Meliodas, Ban, and Gowther ran around you and struck down every single armoured foe in your path. Your breath was choked, I... I can feel you again. Your aura.

Meliodas skidded to a stop as well, he looked back at you with shock and exhilaration, "(Y/n)... I... I can sense him" his eyes were green stars that pierced yours, "He's here".

You tilt your head up to the castle, "mm... I can feel him too... Arthur's here".
