"Come on, we got to go.." Zeldris hissed. He never knew Arthur could be such a deep sleeper, or at least he thought.

"I'm awake, don't worry, I've been awake all night..." The human yawns tiredly, stretching out his arms on his king sized bed. "Wait, how did you get in my room? Passed the guards?"

Zeldris merely rolls his eyes, "your guards are useless," he pulls Arthur's blanket off, exposing him to the cold air and he shivers. "We have to go now, if you don't get up I'll have to leave you here."
Arthur immediately reacts to sitting up, but his eyes still show exhaustion.
"Come on, that immortal human is waiting for us outside the kingdom, let's get this over with, so I can kill that demon who took my brother quickly and painfully...."

"Why are you so eager to be rid of him?" Arthur questions, he stretched his hand to reach for Zeldris's touching the slight bit of skin before he yanked his hand away.

"Him? There is no 'him' in it's name, it's a creature that should have never been created. All it cares for is blood, torture, and pleasure, and you think you could ever forgive such a sinful demon?"

Arthur holds a pit in his throat, feeling guilty for what he said. "I didn't mean it that way..."

Zeldris sighs, then just left the room. Outside of the door he says, "you have five minutes to be ready, I'll be waiting for you outside of the kingdom. If not, we're leaving without you."

Silence was heard and left in the dark room, and only the full moons light shimmering a great blue was to light up his room. Arthur thought it was pretty. His mind dazed thinking of, how should he want to say this. About Zeldris. He was like a dark angel.

      He swiftly got ready, walking out of the kingdom gates and there were both Ban and Zeldris waiting for him. He smiles awkwardly realizing how long it took him.

"It's about time, what took you so long?" Ban cooed at Arthur, and the demon next to him turns his head to look at Arthur.

Arthur scratches the back of his head.
Explaining as little, yet as much as he could. "I though I was too late since I passed the five minute limit, but you guys are still here."

Ban raises a brow, "five minutes? Did hedgehog here say that?"

Zeldris furrows his brows and looks straight at the pale haired man, "don't ever call me that, human."

Arthur slightly smiles to himself.

Before the three went out, Zeldris was summoned by Arthur for a particular reason. Being dragged away from his original mission.
And there stands Arthur at the entrance of a bar. But not the regular kind of bar. This was more of the kind for two people coming in pairs.

Arthur never told Zeldris what this was or even mentioned why he brought him to a inclined place.
But he merely stalks his walking to the open door held by Arthur.

"Welcome!" A female worker of the bar yelps.
"Table for two?"

"Yes." Is all Arthur says, and the lady looked to both of them before she slightly smirked and turned away immediately.

"Right.... Right, this way." The black strands of her hair cover her face, so Zeldris was wondering what she was even thinking.
They stopped at a booth already with fresh ale.

"Please to meet you," she blurts out in pure energy, "I am Aiko, and I'll be your waitress." He hips swing to the side while spinning then faces them again, "please do make yourselves comfortable and do please order as much as you like!" He lively energy very much had Zeldris rolling his eyes, he regretted he deciding to sit down.

Arthur gives a gleeful smile to his appreciation. And she walks off in a hurry, stumbling the last steps away from the two.

Humans of every corner of the small bar stared at to where Arthur was, mumbling was heard under the breath of men. It seems as though it was strange to them, but a few minutes pass and more people watched Arthur. Mostly Zeldris, the strange dark haired child sitting with the king of Camelot, obviously he stood out. Arthur's light orangish, gold hair and the light clothes he wears has Zeldris stand out of the bar even more so.

"Take a sip." Arthur offered, holding his ale in the air and pointing out the demons drink. Zeldris at first only stared at Arthur ever so thinking what he wanted.
So he takes the mug of ale and taste a small amount of it, his tongue twitched at the sizzling feeling in his mouth.

"What do you want?" Zeldris spat, but quiet enough for none around him to hear.

"Relax, I'm just inviting you to a 'get to know you' breakfast."
Arthur takes another sip of his ale.

"That's stupid. We should be out there saving Meliodas, and yet you do this?"

Arthur slightly pouts. "That's not nice to say... Do you speak your mind often?"

"You talk too much ignorance..." Zeldris takes his finished mug of ale placing it to the side. He looks to Arthur who's still on his first round, and his cheeks are turning pink already. A light drinker is what he was and his flushed face proves it.

Arthur giggles, and his eyes haze looking at Zeldris.
Out of nowhere Arthur points out, "You're so smart sometimes..."

Zeldris tenses at this unexpected comment, "excuse me?" His arms cross, then resting them on the table top of where they were sitting.
Arthur copies him in a silly way, slouching and looking up specifically at Zeldris's pure black eyes.

"Aww, boo, I wanted to see y - your--" he took a second to process his words. "Your g - green eyes~" Arthur's head cocks to the side, moving closer to the demons face.
"Could you ple~ase show them to me?"

Zeldris rolls his eyes looking down at the drunk human.

"Ze~ldris..." Arthur pouts, cupping his hands on the demons cheeks.

As Zeldris felt warm hands on his cheeks, his first though was, a filthy human touching me, how impertinent.
Then again having second thoughts his mind felt warm.

It felt strange to the demon, having a humans bare hands touching the skin of his cheeks. It's stopped, and what felt like hours passed by just listening to the drunk human blabber on like someone who couldn't even speak clearly truly did annoy him for a bit. But as more time pass by, he got used to it, actually taking in the words that Arthur mumbled about him.

Quickly a sharp inhale of his breath catches danger in the air. He moves away from the warm touch he had upon his skin, standing to face a group of men right behind where Arthur sits. Their faces unwelcoming.

Zeldris moves at lighting speed to get in front of the men and can clearly see their majorly flushed eyes; showing they are beyond words of a kind of drunkness.

"Hey kid." One of the men hiccups. "Get outta- the...the way!"

Zeldris merely stops the leaning, bearded man with his index finger; holding him back from falling near Arthur or on him. He shakes his head, honestly, no end to foolish humans.

"Come on Arthur, I'm going to take you out of here."
Zeldris swiftly pushes the man back to the other men, who were also unstable.

Arthur laughs a little, "you're to take me out on a- on a da~te? that's so thougt- thoughtful of y....you, Zel-dris."

Zeldris placed Arthur's left arm over his shoulder and he hears little mutters under the humans breath. He couldn't make out of what he was saying, so he ignored it and continues to walk towards the exit door. Other humans stared and this time Zeldris heard their mutters.
Words that shouldn't be even said out loud at any time no matter where you are. Mutters that make Zeldris want to cuss out in every language out their that ever exist.

Humans. God he so despised them.

"W...where are we going, aren't you taking me out?"
Arthur drags his feet, making it difficult for the demon to balance his left side.

They were finally out of the bar, but the people's stares will never let go, the drunk men lay on the floor of that inn, probably out cold. Zeldris suspects they'll have a pretty heavy hangover once they wake up.

So dark... Is what Zeldris thought, looking out into the night sky. Stars shinning bright as ever, but his own eyes found them like a new discovery.
He's hardly ever seen lights that shimmer in the dark of the night.

"The night is beautiful is~n't, Zeldy~?"

Zeldy... Zeldris puffs, he felt Arthur reposition himself, and his stance was a bit more steady. Maybe the ale is wearing off?
It must have been.

Zeldris only stands there, unresponsive, feeling Arthur wrap his bare hands around the demons waist; pulling him close.

"Zeldris~ why can't you be---
with me?" Arthur pushes Zeldris to the side having his back against a brick wall. The demon questions himself on why he would ever allow a human to do this.

Arthur almost drops all his weight on Zeldris, but the demon withstands his body effortlessly. The humans head rest on Zeldris's shoulder, and the demon almost loses his stance when he soft soft and gentle lips kissing his exposed neck. Light kisses barely even brushing fully on his flesh.

Zeldris bit his bottom lip, what the hell! What the hell! He wanted to move, but his body stayed as if he truly enjoyed being touched by a human of all things. The weakest of all five different clans.

Yet, it's not something to question of how he has part of his chest and neck out in the open; he's wearing the same uniform that's been used in all bloody battles, he's ever been in.

Zeldris shivers to Arthur's touch, the humans right hand was holding on to his waist, while the other slithers to lightly cup the demons nape. Holding him still; however, keeping him calm.
Arthur's breath was thick in the air, as Zeldris smelled arousal from the human that touches him in such erotic ways.

The sense of Arthur's right hand slips up the once tucked in top of the demon, having the will to touch more of his soft skin.

"Zel, Ze~ldris, have I ever told you.... That----Iloveyou..." Arthur slurs his last words like he pronounced it into one.

Zeldris slides down against the wall and Arthur follows. His legs holding both thighs of the demon, spreading him. His arms lock strongly next to both sides of Zeldris's chest. The exposed demon was completely pinned.

"Arthur, get off..." Zeldris whispers, as he much as he wanted to keep going, he must not let any distractions get in the way.

Arthur's wild like emotions after a mug of ale starts to get to him. Then he collapses on Zeldris, his eyes now closed, and the demon trying to hold him up from being crushed by a body bigger than his. He doesn't know why he's trying to keep distance from Arthur, but he just knows it's for the best.

I don't care for humans so matter how much they care for me... He reassures to himself yet as he looked to the drunk human on his body, his hearts stutter and they all pound out of synch. Was it, vulnerability? Was this kind of physical contact somehow forbidden in his outlook?

Arthur embraces his arms around Zeldris into a warm hug, pleading, "why do you." He processed his words through his floating mind, "Why do you want me away from you? What did I do wrong?" He pouts while his embrace becomes stronger, and he rests his head on the demons chest.

Zeldris stops to look at the covered face of Arthur. Until the human looked up, and he saw what humans call tears.

Stuttering, Zeldris embraces the human back, for once felt sympathy with this kind of pointless emotion that would never help in a problematic situation, yet here he was, helpless to a couple of years from this human that begged him to stay, muttering under his breath.

He hugs him tightly, embracing Arthur to his touch.
"I...." He didn't know what to say, his throat was caught by words he couldn't let out, let alone pronounce. He's never said this in such a long time, millennia perhaps. "I'm... Sorry..." He whispers. His voice was caught by a pit in his throat and his mind burned at the simple word he has said to a human.

Why is this happening? Zeldris whispers in his mind, stroking the back of Arthur's hair. The humans head still lays on his chest wrapping the demons waist gently yet firm with his hold.

They are just laying there, out in the open, against some random brick wall they ran into.

"Arthur...." The demon says his name.
"I---" he was interrupted.

"Get a room you two." Ban comes out of nowhere. He stands out of the corner of the brick wall, looking so amused.

"How long have you been there...?" Zeldris mutters.

"Around to the part when you practically admitted by saying sorry." Ban laughs as he saw the demon sputter out nonsense. He clearly was embarrassed and miserable, being caught red handed doing actions such as this.
And Arthur still pins Zeldris even though Ban is now in front of them, holding in his laugh at Zeldris's flushed embarrassment.

"Arthur, get off!" Zeldris bites.

Arthur pouts, "but, what did I do wrong?"

"You didn't do anything wrong here, just get off of me for a minute." Zeldris attempts to shove Arthur's clinging body, but the human held on for dear life. Shaking his head frantically. The demon gives in, leaving him, then looks up to Ban whom looks like he's enjoying Zeldris's struggle.

"I'll give you two some privacy, but be ready in half an hour." Ban takes his leave.

Zeldris continues to hear muffled mutters, unable to be heard of. Until he heard the words 'I love you' over and over, 'I love you, so much' is what he says again.

What...? Zeldris cocks his head in confusion. "I don't know what you mean."

"Have you ever noticed how beautiful you look today.... Zeldris?" Arthur hums.

Of course, he's still drunk.

"Your kind is so interesting, but you're the most eye catching of them all..."

Zeldris didn't understand the point of
this flattery to him, but he felt a bit entertained by this odd converse

"What am I to you?" Zeldris mumbles, and he feels Arthur's flushed, red face looks at him. It took a few moments before the grip of his waist was tightned and was pulled into a hug. Zeldris's back was arching so elegantly and his legs react to Arthur's touch and affection by wrapping around the humans waist.
All Arthur says now, loud and clear is,

"Y - your my dark angel..."
