[Diane's POV]
I felt bad for king but he needs to calm down. We started walking to Meliodas' house! It was a quiet walk. We are about a half a block away from Captain's house and I watched as king fiddled with the sleeves on his shirt. I noticed that he was shivering a bit and I felt worse. I should've got him a jacket or something! "Are you cold?" I asked breaking the silence. "N-No-" he answered, I heard his teeth chatter as he spoke. I could tell he was lying. His bag was also a little heavy,and I wondered what he had inside of it. I shook my head at my curiosity and glanced back at the shivering boy with worry. "We'll be there in a minute, you can get a blanket and rest when we get there okay?" I said softly and as kindly as I could. He just nodded crossing his arms over his chest, probably trying to stay warm.
After a moment we made it to Meliodas' house I knocked on the door as king said something. "I-I really don't need to be here.. I-I could just stay at my house" he said still crossing his arms to stay warm. "No- we don't want you t-to do anything stupid..o-okay? So just..stay here for now..please?" I kinda begged him, he worried me a bit..okay...he worried me a lot. I don't like seeing people so sad like he was. "Fine.." I heard him murmur. I can tell he wasn't in the mood for arguing with me about weather if he should be here or not- just as I was about to knock again, Elizabeth opened the door giving us a small smile. I pushed king ahead of me and quickly so I could get him out of the cold.
"Oh!-" Elizabeth jumped as she was pushed from the door. Whoops! "Heh! Sorry! He's cold!" I smiled back at her as she shut the door. I looked back at king then looked around seeing everyone and Zeldris and Estarossa! "Hey guys-" I waved to Captain's brothers. Zel waved back with a frown and Estarossa with a small smile. I tilted my head at his sadness with confusion until I realized the sympathetic look on Meliodas' face. I knew why he was sad now.. Zeldris got up from the couch and walked over to me and king. "King?...you okay?" Zel asked the quiet boy as he picked at something under his sleeves. I glanced at King's hands seeing the bandages he kept picking at as he shrugged to Zel's question.
I reached over,about to pull his hands away but Zel hugged him. "I'm sorry about your sister..she was a good person-" he said and I watched king take a hesitant movement to hug back but..he did. "Y-Yeah.." king mumbled into Zel's shoulder with a cracky tone in his voice...he sounded like he was gonna cry..again..I was so focused on their little embrace that I didn't realize Elizabeth was tapping my shoulder. "H-Hm?" I turned to her quickly when I finally noticed her tapping. She giggled a bit and grabbed my arm and rushed me into the kitchen with her where no one else was.
Her face was so red and she was smiling so much it made me smile. "Hey? What is it??" I asked curiosly. She grabbed both my arms and shook me in excitement, "Meliodas asked me if I wanted to go with him to get everyone pizza!! Just me and him!! EEE!!" she squealed. Heh. I know she likes him too but..he's mine. Eh, he still likes me more anyway! I'll admit it though..I am jealous. How come he's never asked me to do that!? "Really??" I scoffed not believing her. She let go of me and crossed her arms puckering her lips into a pout. "I am telling the truth! He said later though....but...EEEE!!!" she started squealing again. I giggled, "Okay, Okay weirdo- did you say yeah??" I asked raising a brow..I really wanted to go with him..
She nodded "of course I did! But I had to tell someone!! I'm too excited!!" She smiled more but I could tell she was nervous. "Cool.." I said a little disappointed..why doesn't he ask me if I wanna go out somewhere with him?- "hey..why do you- oh sorry-" Elizabeth stammered out then stepped back. "Huh? Why do I what?-" I crossed my arms looking at my seemingly nervous 'best friend'. She can't just rub it in! I like him too!! "Y-You seem mad! I didn't mean any harm! I just got excited! And I realized you like him too! Shit!" She stomped on the floor and bit her lip, looking away from me. "Hey! Just don't rub it in! It's not fair!" I crossed my arms, in a pout. "Sorry..can't you just like someone else? It's frustrating when we like the same boy!" She looked back at me a little mad. Everyone else was in the other room with king so they probably didn't hear us.
I glared at her. "How am I supposed to just stop liking someone?! That's not how it works Elizabeth!" I argued balling my hands into small fists in frustration. "Ban was right! You are ignoring him!" Elizabeth argued. I stomped my foot. She's pissing me off. What does king have to do with this?! The hell?! "Where is this random bullshit coming from Elizabeth?! What does king have to do with this? Your asking me to just pull a card out of my ass and say 'Ooh! I lIkE sOmEonE eLse~'-" I snapped at her. "Because! You are ignoring someone's feelings! UGH!!" She pushed her head back and groaned like she was frustrated with me. With me?! I'm more frustrated with her!! And I'm not ignoring King!! I've been with him the past bit and it's not my fault he's quiet and has had a bad day!!
[Elizabeth's POV]
She is so oblivious!! It's killing me!! "You're ignoring my feelings! I like him!" Diane stomped her foot once more. "Diane! Shut up for a minute!-" I kinda yelled and she scoffed, cutting me off. "Now what!?" She asked..she's so annoyed for no reason..and is being selfish and it's frustrating me! Why does she think he likes her so much!? It hurts when she says that! She thinks I'm ignoring her feelings?! "Can you at least stop thinking about yourself for a minute? And think about everyone else? Please? I know someone who's liked you for three damn months and you just..-" I paused trying to find the words.. "you just show him you don't care!!" I finally yelled. Diane looked pissed! But I'm as pissed as she is! She has no say in denying the fact she ignores a lot!
"Liar!! You aren't my best friend! You can't tell me who to like!" She yelled back and pushed me away from her. Then she was about to storm off but I grabbed her arm before she could. Diane quickly turned and smacked me! She smacked me right in the face!? I let go of her and pushed her feeling the best of anger in my face rise. "What was that for?!" I yelled and I pushed her again until everything escalated..
The next thing I know we're pulling each other's hair, smacking, pushing, punching and shoving. We were screaming at each other until Meliodas and Ban ran over and separated us...I was crying and so was she.. she's so careless..why do I even care about her? She started it! Diane was yelling at me as ban pulled her away with force, "You can't just expect me to do what you want!!! Fucki- AH!" Ban the cut her off as he pulled her harshly out of the room, she kept resisting. Meliodas was still holding me back even though I wasn't resisting..I just gave up..and rubbed the cheek she punched the moment before..it hurt.
"What was that about?." I heard Meliodas mumble. He stood in front of me and pulled me to a seat so I could sit down. Estarossa walked over with a really confused look. "I was just about to ask the same!-" he said as he went into the freezer. I heard Diane yelling but ignored it. I glanced up into the living room and saw Zel helping king off of the floor. What the!? I heard Ban yelling at Diane when I got up and ran over to help king up with Zel. He had a red spot on his cheek and was rubbing it with a sad look.
"DIANE STOP!! CALM THE FUCK DOWN!! YOU JUST KNOCKED KING OVER!!" I heard Ban yelling from upstairs. This was pissing me off more! You see what I mean?! She acts like he doesn't exist!! I was still crying but ignored it. Meliodas ran over with a pack of ice. "H-" he stopped when he saw us. "Goddesses.." he sighed.
~a couple hours later~
Everyone had calmed down. Meliodas,Ban,Zel, King,and Estarossa were left in the dark about what had happened between the two best friends...well former best friends..Elizabeth was sitting on the couch feeling bad and bouncing her leg. Meliodas was sitting next to her trying to find a way to ask her about what had happened. Ban and Estarossa were with Diane in the guest room meant for king. They were trying to get her to spill the beans but she kept silent in her pouty anger. King was with Zeldris watching a movie..Meliodas suggested it to them, he didn't want them to worry about the fight the girls had before so they were in his room.
"Elizabeth..talk to me. Please? I can't help if you don't talk. Please? I'm worried! You guys are best friends!" Meliodas begged and reasoned but I'm not ready to tell him..but then I don't wanna lie... "Diane got mad because you asked me to go get pizza for everyone but I got frustrated because she was being selfish! We both have a big crush on Y-You and she didn't believe me about you asking me to go get pizza! So we argued! We both made some points!! B-But it went to far!!" I spat out quickly and nervously. His eyes widened, I felt the embarrassment of rejection coming in...3........2........1..
"I'm gonna be honest..this whole fight is my fault. I'm sorry.... But..I'll admit it..I like you- okay? I don't like Diane like that. I have liked you a while but I need to talk to Diane and make sure she doesn't hate you! You guys are best friends!" Meliodas said then bit his lip. I felt the heat in my cheeks rise. I saw a flush in his cheeks too! I'm so happy!! And sad!! And feel bad! So many damn emotions!! I felt my lips quivering as I spoke, "I-I hurt her feelings.." my voice cracked too..and I sniffled. I had ice on my cheek a bit ago but there's a small bruise..but I felt more guilty then anything..
Meliodas kissed my cheek "hey don't cry..just talk to her and apologize to each other when you guys think it's ready..Kay?" He asked of me and I blushed and nodded. "How about I walk you home, and I'll have Estarossa drive Diane home?" He asked and I nodded once more. "I'll have to tell my dad what happened huh?." I asked, my dad is the principal at our school.. he's very worrisome of me. And if he sees these bruises he'll be mad. "Yeah-" Meliodas chuckled a bit and stood up and grabbed my hand helping me up from the couch.
[Meliodas' POV]
I'm happy she told me. By the goddesses I am but there's just gonna be so much drama now.. ugh. Now I gotta deal with Diane and King...wait..two problems can be one if I just have King talk to her more. When Elizabeth and Diane make up I know Diane will be sad or mad or jealous or something but maybe not if I get King and Diane to cheer each other up without them even knowing it was planned!! Hah! But damn...how am I gonna do that? Oh well!!
"So are we-" Elizabeth tried asking, her face was red and I'll admit it's kinda hot- but I know what she's gonna ask. "Boyfriend and girlfriend??~" I asked giving a casual grin. She nodded. "Do you wanna be my girlfriend??~" I asked "y-yeah-" she mumbled and fiddled with her fingers. "Then yes!" I simply answered her question from before and took out my phone and texted my brother Estarossa.
-texting Estarossa-
'hey can you drive Diane home? I'm walking Elizabeth home. Ban is gonna stay- I already know he'll wanna stay.'
Estarossa: 'k'
Estarossa: 'Diane just told me-'
'don't worry Elizabeth just told me too- I know they'll situate it- c'mon and get her ready. I'm leaving with Elizabeth now, cya in a bit bro'
Estarossa: 'k'
I put my phone in my pocket. "Got your stuff?" I asked poking her and she giggled. "Yep!" I grabbed her hand and rushed us both out of the house. "Then come on!" I grinned getting her out of my house and we started walking towards hers.
"You're okay right?" I asked concerned and worried. I felt bad for having being the cause of their fight... "Of course! Don't worry, I'm fine..just shook it escalated into a fight!-" she giggled a bit nervously. "You're nervous to talk to her aren't you.?" I asked as we walked side by side on the concrete. I watched her footsteps as I looked down at both of us. The flats she was wearing were shining with the light in the darken moonlight. I just realized it was late..damn.."yeah..but like you said we'll talk when we're ready y'know?" I looked up at her and smiled at her smile.
I grabbed her hand and we continued to walk together..now holding hands. Her hand was warm and comforting. But after a couple minutes I was sad to let it go when we made it to the front of her house. "Thanks Meliodas" Elizabeth smiled, gripping at one of the straps on her backpack, preparing herself to walk inside. I grinned "no problem!" Then I leaned up and pecked her lips..I backed away to see a cute surprised look on her face. I couldn't tell if she was blushing because the nights darkness. But I knew she was.
She walked to her door and waved goodbye to me. I waved back and smiled as I walked off on my way back home.
It's been a long day..but I thought about everything that had happened today. Listing every problem or troublesome matter in my head. There was King..we have to help him out,take care of him,give him what he needs to be able to recover from the tragic death of his sister..and we gotta deal with Diane..I know Elizabeth wants to apologise but what about Diane? What will happen when she finds out about me and Elizabeth? How is she even gonna be told? What will happen at school tomorrow? I have to keep an eye on King,Diane,AnnNnD Elizabeth!! Wait- I can ask Ban to stay with King for the day! And I can constantly check on the girls so they don't get in a fight or something!
Wait! Why am I planning so much in my head?! By the time I had realized I was tryna solve everyone's problems,I was at my house! I took out my keys and unlocked the door. I opened it to see Ban and my brothers chilling in the living room? I shut the door behind me as I walked in...why did something feel off?..Zel turned and smiled and waved to me "your back! Hey brother!" I smiled slightly and waved back "Hey!-" I looked around and finally noticed what felt so off! "Wait!! Where's King!?"
