Ch. 7 After A Few Months
(Y/N)'s POV
It had been about 4 months, and graduation was close. Well sorta, in two months!!! March 16, which means it's also Friday.... I walked home holding his hand. And I couldn't help it... I smiled. I smiled while everyone that saw us frowned. I looked at him out of the corner of my eye nervously. But smiled even more when I saw a huge smile on his face and a twinkle in his emerald eyes. "Hey, whatcha looking at~?" He winked after seeing me. I averted my gaze back to the sidewalk in front of me, blushing slightly. His grip on my hand tightened and he chuckled. "You know...." He trailed off, his voice wasn't his happy, cheery, usual voice. Nor was it flirtatious in any way.
"Y-yes?"
"Never mind." He smiled at me, but I could see the pain in it, causing me to frown slightly.
"O-okay..." Soon after, we made it home and we walked in.
"Hello poppets!!!" My father greeted us which was so normal now... We greeted in return and I headed upstairs.
"Heh...." I chuckled nervously looking around at the room which was shared with Meli. "You can definitely tell a male lives in here.." I muttered cleaning up the mess.
"Hey... (Y/N)." He walked in and sat on our bed. I was shocked, since we've been together he's like never called me that.
"Yeah...?"
"I hate to break the news like this... And I know this is going to hurt you, hell it hurts me..." I raised a brow cautiously.
"......"
"...................." He gave me a long pause after my short pause.
Time flew by so slow. I knew it had been about 10 minutes and we just stood/sat there looking at each other.
"I'm going back." He spoke softly, as if he was afraid I was going to kill him.
"I am too then."
"What!? No! No! No! Don't do that!" He shouted, almost as in defense.
"Why......?" I asked sadly. Was he just going to go back to Elizabeth and be with her?
".....I don't need you harmed." He looked down as if he didn't want to look at me anymore.
"O-ohh..." My eyes watered, and I nodded in understanding. "O-okay..." My voice wavered, but I finished my sentence nonetheless. "Go be happy..." I turned away from him, letting the tears fall as I walked out.
Meliodas' POV
My eyes widened as her words soaked in and I looked at the open door she stumbled out of. "Be.....Happy....?" I sighed. "I need her to forget me.... I need to forget her..." My eyes watered slightly. "If anyone needs to be happy it's you..." I took a deep breath and let it out slowly so I wouldn't cry. I slowly stood up and walked downstairs. "I'm ready." I stated walking by the living room. (Y/N) looked at her father in disbelief, as he stood up and walked with me to the basement.
"Alright. You'll feel a slight pinch..." He said, throwing a powder over me. The last thing I saw from their world was the young woman I loved staring at me.
Back at the Tavern, the images of her burned into my mind, all of them. The first day of school played in my mind. "What if....? I should have......" My eyes widened as I realized the danger I put her in by leaving.
"Sir Meliodasssss~!" Elizabeth cheered running downstairs and hugging me. "You've been gone forever! Where'd you go!?" Everyone else followed her down the stairs, and even though my face was in her chest, I didn't feel at home. I pushed out of her grasp and walked upstairs.
"Yeah. I know I am." I muttered, walking into my room and locking the door.
