Hey, so this is my first fic for this anime, I had finished binge watching it and was stoked that they left it at a cliff hanger on Netflix, so I took it upon myself to see what the fandom is like. Looking at how few M fics there were I decided to correct with, and maybe a few other, but I'm going to start off with a multi-chapter. Hope you like.

Rumbling could be heard in the distance from within the taverns walls as the laughter died down. "What was that?" a meek voice whispered from below the counter. Emerald eyes narrowing as the owner of them strained to hear further, his senses heightened as the tavern began to shake hard enough to knock mugs from the table.

"Captain." King whispered as everything suddenly grew still, "this is eerie. What could be going on?"

"Beats me." Meliodas shrugged while Hawk griped about his nonchalant attitude, "I'm gonna see if it's interesting. Ban." Both men leaving the tavern with wide smirks. The silver woman behind the bar rushing to the window facing where the men's silhouettes could be seen. As she cracked the window a howl rang throughout the night, echoing in her ears, as Ban's upper half flew through the window next to her.

"Well, fuck." Ban muttered leaning on his palms a crazed gleam in his eyes. "Capt. is gonna get all the fun unless someone can toss me out to my body; King?

"What's going on out there!?" Elizabeth whimpered clutching her hands in front of her chest.

"A monstrous wolf-thing is attacking, really wish Diane was here to lend a hand." Ban explained while being levitated out the broken window and next to his discarded lower half "Thanks, King!", and with that and his usual maniacal laughter he leapt back toward where Meliodas was being tossed into the air. Catching the golden-haired male by his ankle before spinning and hurling him back at the monster, Meliodas twisted his torso, the rest of his of his body following, as he brandished his sword and pierced through the monster's heart.

"Well, it would seem that we are once again being targeted, Captain Meliodas." Gowther stated as he disconnected from the giant wolf. "Seems they are after the Princess." The other Sin's glared and voiced their opposition to losing her as Elizabeth looked down, tears brimming. Meliodas set his chin on her head his emerald eyes hardened, a low growl vibrating his chest and voice, "Ellie, we're not gonna lose you, again got it. Everyone keep an eye out, and don't let her escape your sights. That's an order." Resounding 'sirs' echoed around the room as Elizabeth glanced up with determination in her visible eye.

"I want to train!" Her shout causing the others to fall from their seats and Hawk to choke on his scraps in surprise. "You can't really mean that, Princess." King uttered floating over to her. "I do! No way am I going to just let you all put yourselves on the line for me yet again. Even if it's just training my healing abilities… But… I want to fight, too."

Emerald eyes narrowed behind her as the Captain tugged her silver locks backwards, tilting her back to meet his daring gaze, only for his facial expression to turn change into surprised at the teary yet determined eyes steadily meeting his. A heavy sigh escaping him before his characteristic grin regained its light, "Sure, you can train, but it's going to be against me!"

"Stupid Meliodas, you're just gonna grope her! Or worse…. NOOOO…." Hawk yelled running to head-butt the small male away from the damsel in the group. His attempt thwarted as a small booted foot pressed against his snout, not budging and effectively keeping him a leg length away.

"Relax Hawk, would you rather Ban teach her?" at that both males turned to see the overly enthusiastic grin spread across Ban's face followed by stomach knotting laughter. "Yeah, no, you're right. Fine, but no FUNNY business!" the round pig backed off and lumbered off to his scraps dish.

Later in the night as everyone readied themselves for bed King sat on the roof awaiting for Diane's long anticipated return, she had sent a letter to him using the nature folk as her messengers, a smile and blush tinting his face in the pale moon-light before the familiar footfalls of his beloved giant reached his ears. "Diane!" he shouted as he flew across the sky so that he was directly in front of her. Exhaustion heavy in her movements, but a chipper smile bringing energy to her eyes as they greeted each other. "Um, hey, King could you get me a set of smaller clothes, please?" Surprised he nodded his head as he flew back with Diane following carefully and lightly so as to not disturb the others. Reaching the tavern just as King floated back up to her with the clothes in hand.

"Can I ask why, Diane?" King blushed as he turned around noticing the potion Diane had to her lips. Small trails of blood coming from his nose as he realized Diane was about to be naked behind him, the image becoming more arousing as he heard her form behind himself shrinking, fabric shifting as the body that it held snug became too small to wear it.

"Because I want to sleep next to you silly, it's been a month since we last saw each other!" Diane chuckled reaching for the clothes that King held over his shoulder. Happy she couldn't see how red his face was, yet King dared to tilt his head only to whip it back as blood rushed from his nose. Diane was bent forward with one leg in her panties and was attempting to hook the other one in, her breast hanging and pushed forward as she pressed her arms closer. 'Oh, Gods, D… Diane is SO CUTE, no so SEXY! Gah!'

"You didn't peek did you, King?" Diane asked from directly in front of the young fairy pulling him from his thoughts with a jolt.

"Uh, w-what! N…N-no, Diane, I would n-never!" exclaiming as he waved his arms dramatically in fear for his life before soft lips touch his cheek. Steam rising from him as he gaped at Diane while she twirled a strand of hair around her finger and blushed.

"Stop gawking, you lying dummy." A smile gracing her features as she took King's hand in her own, "Let's sleep on the roof!" Dumbfounded, but happy none the less he floated them both up promising to keep her from falling so she doesn't have to worry. Once on the roof and comfortable against the Spirit Spear turned pillow they fell asleep with smiles and blushes while curled into each other's arms.

The silver hair woman sighed from the bathroom door hands on her hips as she shook her head at the snoring lump on her side of the bed. His body covered in thick ropes, the handy work of the nervous pig sleeping outside their door. Sighing again, Elizabeth walked toward him and pulled his checks, grinning at the small noise of complaint she got. "Meliodas, roll onto your side of the bed, please."

"Nu-uh." The golden haired demon muttered rolling onto his stomach and burrowing his face into her pillow humming as he did so. A blush dusted her cheeks at his actions before she gave up and crawled across him so that she could sleep on his side. Adjusting so that she was on her side facing the emerald eyes shining at her gleefully. "Night, Ellie."

Yawning, and curling into herself and his pillow Ellie muttered the same back before slipping into a peaceful sleep as the grinning boy became somber, "I wish I could be more for you, Elizabeth", then drifting off just before the princess muttered her hearts confession to the brilliant man in her dreams and that rested with his head against her shoulder. "I love you, Meliodas."

In her dream Meliodas was walking in front of her, hands behind his head, as the sun peeked between the leaves of the canopy above. His vest and shirt off but draped over his right shoulder as the sun glistened against the small beads of sweat littering his torso. A heavy blush tinting her cheeks as Elizabeth eyed how every muscle along back and sides moved, showing the underlining physical strength that his small body possessed. She couldn't but wonder just how someone so small could be as well-defined as he was, was he hiding something? Elizabeth gasped as her mind took a sudden turn and Meliodas slowly grew taller, his hair touching his shoulders now, just as he turned her heart fluttered painfully in her chest his facial had lost the boyish charm and becoming a defined and alluring as his now almond shaped eyes shined with an impish suggestion in them.

Reaching forward he grasped her cheek and pulled her closer, the dark mark on his forehead making her freeze before her curious finger trailed up to caress the lines, tracing them with her finger tips over his eye not noticing the smirk he was giving her. The arm he used to pull her close draped over her shoulders as the other gripped her hip to keep her close. "Meliodas?" His characteristic smile replacing the smirk as leans forward and envelopes her in a warm hug. "Mhm." She felt a brush of lips against her shoulder and a mumbled phrase sounding similar to 'something more'. A blush lit her face as she tried to piece together what he could've meant.

"Get up!" shrieked the pink swine as he tackled Meliodas out bed. "I can't believe you broke the ropes, DID YOU DO SOMETHI-!"

"No, Hawk, I didn't…" Meliodas interrupted as he got up and walked over to Elizabeth, "wake up, sleeping beauty. Time to eat then train!" He cheered and held a thumbs up as the woman giggled up at him. "I'm gonna head down first and get Ban to make breakfast, okay." With that he closed the door and padded down the stairs in search of the immortal man.

"Hey, Hawk, can I trust you to a secret and confide in you a bit?" nervousness lacing her soft whisper.

Jumping on the bed and facing the woman he simply nodded his head. "I… I'm in love with Sir Meliodas, Hawk. But I'm scared to tell him… What if he doesn't really feel the same way? What if he won't train me then? What if…." a hiccup left her as sobs wracked her body, "what if w-whoever's after m-me man-manages to…k-kill him?!" With that she threw herself at the tearing-up pig as an attempt to muffle the wail that left her.

"Princess…."

"ELIZABETH!" The panicked shout from down in the tavern startling everyone as Meliodas raced up the stairs in the middle of cooking with Ban. "Elizabeth, wh-" thrusting the door open to see her fine except for the tears in her eyes and the quivering of her shoulders as she held the sobs back. "What's wrong, Ellie? Why are you crying?" As he walked closer her quivering increased, "Don't tell me you're afraid of me now, huh", he jested.

"NO" the exclamation revealing her hidden eye as she moved to her knees to face him directly. What do I do, I can't tell him why I'm bawling… "I…I just remember my bad dream and was telling Hawk what it was…" Emerald eyes narrowed minutely sensing she was hiding something, but chose to ignore it for now.

"Well, then, come on and eat. I'm sure Ban finished and is ready to dig in, "leaning closer a sly smile on his lips, "and I'm sure you'd like to eat before King devours it all." At that all three laughed the normal happy shine coming back to her eyes as Elizabeth pulled the covers aside and stood up. "Do you need any help, Ellie~~?" an eep leaving the woman as the Captain tugged on the ribbon securing the top of her nightgown before Hawk pushes him out the door.

"Oh, no you don't, pervert!" could be heard as the males descended the stairs. Elizabeth shook her head as her heart continued to hammer in her chest, before moving to find her uniform. Once dressed Elizabeth headed down smiling more as she heard the playful banter carrying on amongst the riled Sin's. Times like this was what she loved as she peeked around the wall to watch everyone enjoying themselves.

Diane was sitting next Meliodas as King kept her attention by discussing what she encountered on her personal journey. Merlin was sitting on the table behind them as Gowther read one of her many books rattling off questions and observations. Ban and Meliodas was alternating between jabbing at each other verbally and throwing food at the other in retaliation to particularly rude remarks; Hawk squealing in joy as he picked up the fallen food. All eyes turned to her as she walked from behind the corner a giggle tugging her shoulders, "You guys are wonderful." Smiles grew around the room as the laughter spread before dying down back into a content atmosphere.

"What makes you say that, princess?" Ban inquired, leaning over the table to pluck another biscuit from the basket before settling back beside the captain.

"You all love each other, and the trust is oblivious. Besides seeing all of you with smiles and laughter makes all the battles we've fought worth it. I wouldn't change anything that's happened for fear that I wouldn't be here to spend it with you all." Elizabeth confessed meeting all their eyes, lingering longer with Meliodas', before looking down, "you're family to me. Yet, I feel I at times drag you down." Happiness surged in everyone's chest at her confession before Meliodas stood up wiping the food of his face and shirt.

"Then as family let's make you stronger, so that you never have to humor that silly thought, okay?" Meliodas spoke as her reach for her hand and tugged her out of her chair. Her surprise and the force of it causing her to stumble into him, a sly grin on his face as he slide a hand around her backside to hold her skirt in place, but the other's saw it as him being a perv yet again, before dashing out the tavern. Ban just had enough time to hand the captured woman a biscuit before silver and blonde disappeared with the sound of the door closing in their wake.
