[The Seven Deadly Sins/OC]

CHAPTER 5: Memories

To say Meliodas's friends, were livid is an understatement. Not only did Merlin ended up being petrified, but Diane and Meliodas almost died because of a metallic demon, who appears to be one of the commandments suddenly attacked them and what's irritating about that is they didn't even stand a chance to that demon.

The group sat around their bed, Diane and Meliodas still unconscious, their faces paler than usual while Merlin doesn't show any response. Elizabeth hadn't left the blonde-haired boy's side, so did Arthur to Merlin as the white-haired girl's hand grasping the blonde boy's tightly for the past few ours.

Hawk and Slader didn't left Merlin's side, their eyes could only watch as Arthur cries his heart out for not being able to protect his mentor while Azalea went after Elizabeth and remained in Meliodas's room as she comforts the girl.

As a tear drops from Elizabeth's eyes then to Meliodas's cheeks, his eyes immediately fluttered open, slightly shocking the girl as she continues to cry.

"Sir...Meliodas?"

Meliodas only stared at her for a moment before groping her breast and says "Yo, Elizabeth."

WHACK!

The sound of a fist that landed on someone's head echoed the room, as Meliodas once again has a huge bump on his head after being punched. His mouth let out the word 'Ittai', turning to his side to find Azalea leaning against the door frame with her fist still steaming from impact.

"Iris?"

"Really, Sir Meliodas? The first thing you do after waking up is grabbing Lady Elizabeth bosom?" Azalea questioned as she looked at Meliodas like he was some kind of dirt.

Meliodas only laughed sheepishly, his hand rubbing the back of his head as he made a goofy look that would definitely give someone a vibe that he would do something bad. The brown-haired girl lightly smiled, watching as Elizabeth tightly hugged Meliodas with tears of joy dripping down from her face.

"By the way, where are we? And where the others?" Meliodas asked.

"Don't worry, Sir Meliodas. This is the King's Castle in Camelot, and the others are in the other room, also healing from the gruesome battle earlier" Azalea said, her eyes slightly going grim after saying the last part, which made Meliodas's brow raise in confusion.

On the other room, a mage is seen healing Slader's broken arm as Arthur sat on Merlin's bedside, tears in his eyes started pouring as he clenched his hand in frustration.

"I'm sorry, Merlin. I'm always the one being protected, but I couldn't protect you!" Arthur cried.

"A man shouldn't cry forever. I'm sure that elder sister would say so too" Slader said, making Arthur's head lifted from looking at the ground as he now looks at the masked man.

"But..." He continued, his eyes slowly turning back down in a saddened expression "I know that Merlin's disappointed in me."

"Then I guess we'll have to hear it from Merlin herself, huh?"

A slightly cheery tone came to the room slightly startling the two as they whipped their heads towards the side, seeing Meliodas awake with Elizabeth holding him up as Azalea assisted them from behind.

"Sir Meliodas! Have your wounds healed?" Arthur immediately asked.

"Nope, not at all" Meliodas replied, his hand reaching for Elizabeth's breast and grabbed it as Azalea immediately rushed to Arthur's side and covered it into seeing the embarrassment Meliodas is displaying.
