Ch. 9 No Room For Another/ A Love So Strong

Hey guys! Hate to pop up in your notifications! Haha. I just went through and italicized what I forgot to. ^^" I think it'd honestly help to reread it. Cause if you pay attention to the italicized words, think them correctly when reading, it gives SO much more feeling to the story...

(Y/N)'s POV


After breaking the kiss I smiled at him. "I love you..." I whispered. "I-I just wanted you to know.." Watching his eyes widen in surprise caught me off guard, until it turned into a sweet smile.
"You're aren't going anywhere." He laughed lightly. "And we both know I love you more." I grinned at him. I had to admit, being around him so much made me change. We just stared at each other for a moment until I heard a cough, which caused me to look down. Oh yeah... I'm just a burden to them if I stay... I thought.

Meliodas's POV

I looked at her with knowing eyes when I saw her gaze hit the floor. So I quickly turned to the group. "Welcome the newest member! My girlfriend!" I yelled at them cheerfully. Ban, King, and Merlin raised a brow. I quickly caught a glance at Gowther as he hummed in thought, most likely reading everything.
"M'kay." He shrugged some. Watching everyone else turn to him as if he had lost his mind, I furrowed my brows.
"You all will welcome her." I stated. "And that's an order! Or you'll lose me for good." I said looking around the room, as everyone nodded quickly.
"D-don't do that.." I heard a squeak next to me. I looked up at (Y/N). "Don't leave the group if they don't like me." She fiddled with her fingers some. "You know I'm used to it... I am.. Well..." She looked down motioning to her body.
Sighing deeply, I hugged her. "Perfect." I stated into her neck. "Absolutely perfect." I felt her hug me back, and heard her refraining from crying. After a short moment I pulled away from her and smiled. Turning back to the group, I looked at them sternly. "This is (Y/N)." I stated, and looked at (Y/N). "(Y/N). This is Ban. King. Merlin. Diane. Gowther. And Elizabeth." Pointing to each of them while stating their names. "And we're the Seven Deadly Sins." I said proudly. She giggled softly. They all sighed in unison and said hi.
A few moments of silence went by before everyone decided they should leave. Going their separate ways I noticed the two close female friends head upstairs, keeping that in my mind, I turned to the beautiful girl who stood by me twiddling her thumbs. Grinning, a few words slipped from my mouth, joking or not I knew it was true. "Such an introvert." She nodded. Seeing as she spent most of her life thrown around I understood. Being somewhat the same as me when it came to being around others. Making everyone else happy, she hurt herself. I grabbed her hand and smiled at her, intertwining our fingers. She blushed some, and I felt my heart beat a little faster. "After all of the stuff we've done... You still blush when we touch." She looked at me, then down at our hands that were held tightly together. As her eyes soften I moved our hands over and kissed hers gently. "So about that baby." I laughed. "How long did you know?" I asked, the joking left my voice, and then the color left her skin.
"About a month...." She sighed sadly. "I didn't know how to tell you... I didn't know how you'd react...." She whispered. Removing my hand from hers caused her eyes to water. I moved both of my hands up to her face, and wiped away her tears, before cupping her cheeks, and rubbing them with my thumbs.
"Imma be a daddy!" I said. "I'd never think badly about that!" I grinned at her, as her eyes stopped watering, but widened at my words.
"Th-then why'd you leave....?"
I sighed. "The Sins. They'd need a leader and a few months without me I actually expected to come back to the Tavern in shreds." I stated honestly. "I never would have left you if I knew. I would have seriously brought you along..."
"But you never informed me of your intentions to do so... So I never informed you of the child..." She sighed.
"I understand, babe. Being a parent is a big thing, and you knew I'd be a little wary. But I honestly can't be wary of this. I...." I sighed, I honestly didn't know how to say it. She looked at me in a way to tell me to continue. Well you started saying it, doofus. My thoughts told me. ".....Wanted it." I said barely above a whisper, dropping my hands. She froze, yep she heard me. All my fears toppled on me at once, and I honestly felt like I couldn't breath. She's going to walk away. She's going to abort.... She's never going to want me now... Fear after fear raced in my head as I looked up at her slowly. Smiling....? Finally letting out the breath I unknowingly held, she reached her hand and wiped the tears, that I didn't notice had actually fallen.
"I hope you know what you just said." She said jokingly. Nodding slowly I looked at her. "Well I'm glad you wanted it. Cause so did I... And.. Hey, we got it." She assured me. I smiled back at her, before humming. The mental note I had taken shortly before stuck out in my head.
"Hey.... (Y/N)..." I grinned.

Elizabeth's POV (During the end of the lovey dovey shit. XD)

I looked at Diane as she continued spouting about how he couldn't possibly love someone like her. I nodded with her, barely even paying attention to the brunette. "Maybe we could give her a chance?" I piped up, in return getting a incredulous look.
"Did you even listen to a word I've said?" She growled lowly. "You saw her! Dressing like a goodie two shoes. She covered up everything!" I nodded some. "Captain couldn't possibly find a female that dressed like that inviting." Crossing her arms in a pout she glared at the floor.
"I thought you liked Sir King....?" I questioned quietly. Looking up she raised a brow.
"I'm not complaining because of me!" She shot at me. "I'm complaining cause you deserve him!" She said haughtily. "You look better, and dress better!" She complained, but complemented me at once. "I honestly think this is a joke. With the way she got flustered around him, I doubt they've done a single thing together. He could've made her name up for all we know! Just a stranger that appeared here." She said.
"I watched her though... She literally appeared." I interjected. Finally the brunette looked back at me, then I saw a surprised look, but quickly it formed to a scowl.
"What are you doing here?" Diane asked pissed. I turned quickly and saw the subject of our conversation peeking in.
"S-sorry! Meliodas said I- I should come and meet you girls... He said you were really nice.." She sounded on the verge of tears. And something actually snapped inside of me.
"Come on in." I stated sweetly. "How much did you hear, anyway?" She walked in slowly, and shut the door.
"He could've made her name up...." She whispered some, looking up from the floor at me. "Meliodas didn't though! I swear! (Y/N) (L/N)! That's my name! I-I'm just from another dim-" I glared at her causing her to cower some.
"That's Sir Meliodas to you." I snapped at her. "I honestly think you need to leave here. Cause now that I am taking a thorough look. Lady Diane is right." My look harshened, and she bit her lip in a lame excuse to keep sound from coming out. "And there is no room for another." I stated.
"I'd be sh-" I glared more.
"You idiot! I mean in his heart! I've loved him longer than you've known him." I spat. "I worried the whole time you kept him from us." I growled. She whimpered, tears overflowing from her eyes as she backed away, and to the door. Opening it, she walked out, shutting it back with a small click, and then I heard her feet run through the hall to the stairs. Huffing some I looked at Diane who gave me a worried look. "I hope she falls through sometime." I muttered angrily.
"Elizabeth.....?" Blinking I looked at her.
"Yeah, Lady Diane?" I asked quizzically.
"Maybe that was a bit to harsh..." She whispered.

(Y/N)'s POV

I cried softly as I ran through the tavern and eventually by a stunned Meliodas then out past a disturbed King, and into the nearby forest. Slowing down after a good run, I panted softly and looked around where I was. Noticing a stream, I walked over, taking off my leggings and thanking I kept my (shorts/skirt) with me, and quickly placed them back on, sitting by the stream, feet in the water.

Meliodas's POV

I furrowed my brows and looked to King who looked to the door that quickly shut after a breeze flew by. "Captain.... Wasn't that...?" He trailed off, looking towards me. I nodded quickly.
"I wonder what happened..." I sighed sadly. "I sent her to meet the girls... She must have walked in on Ban?" King shook his head.
"Ban is in the forest looking for game." I nodded slowly.
"Well either way, finding her is my top priority at this very moment." I stated looking to King.
"Hey Captain... is all of that stuff you said true?" I raised a brow. "About her... Do you love her? Do you believe her?" I nodded.
"What sort of question is that?" I asked, brows furrowed.
"She's mortal.... She'll die.... And then the kid will have to accept that as they and their mother die, you'll live." He said like I should know this, hell he was right. I did know this.
"Demon blood." I answered simply. "So much happened while I was there... And most of it is locked away." I shrugged walking by him, who now looked puzzled.

Ban's POV

Sighing I saw the (H/C) girl captain came back with. But before I could even make it to her, a certain pink haired male did.
"Hello, young lady!" He spoke as he walked over to sit by her. "I'm Sir Gilthunder at your service. Who might you be?" Looking up I could see the shock on her face.
"I-I'm (Y/N)..." She stammered. He smiled at her.
"Hello, (Y/N). I know a nice place around here. It's called th-" I raised my brow as the blonde ran over, hugging the female, causing them to topple into the water.

(Y/N)'s POV

I gasped some, right before being thrown into the stream. As we stood up, I blinked at my clothing. "Greeeaaat..." I muttered.
"Meliodas!" Gilthunder said surprised. "I was just going to take her to your tavern!" He stated. "Wait... You know her?"
Meliodas laughed. "Little Gil! Of course I know her! She's my girlfriend!" He said excitedly. My heart fluttered, before recalling Elizabeth's words.
"How wonderful, Meliodas! So! How about we all head to the Boar Hat!" Gilthunder said starry eyed. Meliodas nodded enthusiastically at his words, and picked me up. Quickly my cheeks heated, and my nose scrunched.
"Put me down.... I'm to fat....." I whined, getting my ass squeezed in response.
"No. And you know better." He stated simply, smiling at Gilthunder. "Let's get going, shall we?"
"Y-Yes!" Gilthunder smiled, standing and starting ahead of Meliodas.
"Meliodas...." I whispered. "I have no clothes... And you threw us into the stream..." I sighed looking down at my body still in his arms.
"Don't worry! We'll line dry them! And you can wear mine~" He purred into my ear. My blush became worse, I knew I would pass out if I kept blushing. But slowly my mind processed his words, not how he said them. The blush dulled, and my nose scrunched again.
"They won't fit..." I muttered. I could practically feel his slight glare, along with his dark aura that surrounded him.
"Don't......" I heard him sigh. I blinked and looked up at him, to see a sight that I barely saw. A sight that killed me to see. Such a sorrowful look, one that said 'Why? Why can't you just see yourself how I do?'. My eyes watered some, as he walked into the tavern, and nodded at a table for Gil. "Just a minute, alright?" He said to the pink haired man, walking up the stairs, me still in his arms. As we finished up the stairs I noticed out of the corner of my eye a glaring Elizabeth.
"Hello, Sir Meliodas! Do you need anything?" She asked so sweetly, I would have thought the talk we had earlier was a dream. He shook his head, and walked by her and to what I assumed was his room. He sat on the floor in front of the door, almost like trying to keep everyone out. I gasped lightly when he moved me quickly to a sitting like position and hugged me tightly.
"Baby....." He whispered in my ear. I heard it. I heard all of it. All the pain, the anger, everything. "I love you....So why?" He continued. "You never seem to understand it. I don't care about your size.... Your size is just another number people will judge you by." As if he was trying to think of how to word all of his thoughts, it had taken a second for that to come out, and even longer for the next thought. "Perfection. Every time I look at you, I see a masterpiece, a treasure only the richest could buy. I recall everyone saying that uniqueness is like a snowflake in a blizzard, that everyone is unique so it doesn't make you special. But that's all bullshit." His voice lowered at the last fragment, before going back to normal, well normal as of the moment. "I don't see that being true, for you are special, unique, and beautiful. I love everything about you. Your attitude when you think you're right, and I always cave to it. The way you speak so passionately about (F/H)(Favorite Hobby). When you dance it sends tingles down my spine. Your voice is wonderful, I could listen to it all day. But those are only physical things I love about you, and not even all of them.... You stand up for everyone around you, I've watched it. You're damaged, I won't lie, but you're healing though, I see it. You care a bit to much about everyone, and not just their opinions. You try helping everyone, placing yourself on the back burner every time. I want to help you, I want to heal you, but you never let me....." He whispered. My eyes watered and I let out a soft sob. I softly nuzzled his neck trying to comfort him, as he did the same to me. He lightly pecked my neck as well, in an attempt to calm me down.
Calming down I moved my head back, I wanted to look into his eyes and tell him how much I loved him. But as I moved back enough, his head slowly fell from my neck, and a light disturbed snore escaped the man. I smiled warmly.
"Oh babe... I need to treat you better... What would I do without you?" I whispered to myself, and pecked the top of his head, moving it back into my shoulder as I laid mine back on his. Another disgruntled snore left him as his arms wrapped around me tighter.
".....Mine...." He whispered in his sleep, and I smiled more.
