Chapter Text
"??? POV"
It's about 2 weeks since Zeldris and Gelda have came to the boar hat. After all they did both go off to do there own things after the fight with the demon king. Honestly it has been amazing having them both here. Ban seemed to be glad that Zeldris has come to the seven deadly sins and that he was alive and ok. After all now he has another person to chill with beside the sins. Although it took a lot longer for all the other sins to adjust to Zeldris, the former leader of the Ten Commandments. I can understand where they are coming from but it wasn't like he was going to hurt them. Thought me and Zeldris need to chat with one another. After all it has been 3,000 years and after all we are brothers. So what kind of older brother would I be to him if I just avoided him. I should probably just ask Elizbeth for advice before I do anything stupid.
(The POV of Meliodas)
"Meliodas for the last time we are all going to leave if you take any longer" I heard my little brother yell from downstairs. "Alright, alright I am coming, sheesh who is impatient now" I quickly replied to home before he would end up slapping me if I got downstairs any later. Now that I think about Zeldris has been mostly been staying close to Elizbeth and Gelda for the past 2 weeks. As we started to walk out to go into the kingdoms of Liones. I needed to go with Ban to restock the tavern's food and drink supply. I was walking next to Zeldris until I heard Elizbeth call me over to talk a little further away from everyone when we were walking.
"Oh Meliodas, Gelda, Diane, Elaine and I are all going to take Zeldris clothing shopping. So he doesn't have to wear your clothes." She said as she had the brightest smile on her face. "Ok, ok Ellie. But you have to ask Zeldris. Did he even agree to this? It doesn't sound like something he would do." I said back to her but she seemed to start giggling. I tilted my head in confusion. She started to reply giggling.
"Of course he did or we wouldn't even be able to go shopping with him if he didn't want to." I looked at Elizbeth smiling. "Well I think you are all going to make him turn bright red, after all it's just him and four girls." I sad trying not to laugh, not long after Elizbeth started to laugh too. I always knew she wanted to spoil Zeldris ever since I told her about Zel and also the fact that he is my one and only younger brother. I am glad that Elizbeth shows so much love and affection towards him, though I am kind of disappointed in myself that I still don't even know what to talk to Zeldris about, or how to keep a conversation going for that matter.
~Flashback~
"Hey Elizbeth, i have been wanting to ask you a question for a while and see what you think."
"What's up with you Meliodas. You never ask me questions with the concerned look on your face. Is something bothering you that much."
"I guess you can say that. Elizbeth, *pauses and takes a deep breath in, and began to smile* I want to do something for my little brother Zeldris, but I have no clue how to help or even talk to him. *smile turns into a puzzled/sympathetic look on his face* "Honestly I feel like a absolute shit older brother to him. He is my only brother and I know almost nothing about him."
*Elizbeth sighs*
"If you ask me, from all the things you told me about Zeldris. He just wants you to be proud of him and wants your attention. In the terms of helping, I don't know your little brother personally so I can't help there. Sorry..."
*Meliodas leans on Elizbeth*
"thank you Ellie. I have an idea, I will ask him if he wants to bring Gelda his lover and leave our clans and we all could finally be free..."
~back to reality~
"Come on captain. Your coming with me, remember. So don't go running of to Elizbeth, K." Ban told me in a teasing manner. "Yeah, Yeah I know. I was just lost in thought. So where we going first?"
Zeldris' POV
*quietly sighs, and mumbles* "Why did I ever agree to this." "Maybe because you love me." Gelda whispered in my ear and began to giggle. I felt my face become hot as I turned towards Gelda who put her hands on my cheek and lightly kissed my forehead. Now I know for sure my face is bright red. "Come on we are most there , and you two need to hurry up." I turned to see Diane with a pounding face point at me and Gelda. "Well we do have almost all day so they can take their time Diane." Elaine said while giggling with Elizbeth. "Yeah, Yeah I know but I just want to go to as many places a possible." Diane said reply to Elaine. "How many places in specific are we talking about." I replied with a concerned/confused expression on my face. Gelda patted my head lightly and held my hand as she began to walk forward. To be honest I wouldn't have minded just going with Gelda and maybe Elizbeth, but bring Diane and Elaine along with is kind of over kill for me.
We all started to walk again and Elizbeth was bring us to the first store, and now I am dreading all of my life choices that lead me to this moment. It is not the shopping part that I dread but being with four girls. We all entered the store and thank god that the store was pretty dead at this time or I most likely would have passed our from embarrassment . The next thing I knew Diane and Elaine went in one direction with Elizbeth and Gelda pulled me by my hand in another direction. Granted I follow Gelda without resisting, but not without regretting agreeing to come and do this.
{Two Hours later}
Meliodas' POV
"Aye Captain, So what do you think is taking everyone so long, I mean more like King, Gowther and Master." "Honestly, not sure Ban. Thought I can't say I am not surprised that Zel and the girls aren't ba-"
*gets cut off by the door opening*
"Oh speaking of them, what took you guys so long" I said as I put away the cup I finished cleaning "We lost the captain of the order of scraps disposal." I turned my attention away from Gowther and looked at Hawk "hey don't look at me like that,besides there was some really good smelling food and I just needed to go see what it was." "Oh is that so Hawk, then I guess you don't need food for now do you." I teased "H-hey now Meliodas I didn't say I got to eat any of it. It was all going by the time I got there any way." "Yeah and after it took almost an hour just to find where you ran off to." King said as he put down the supplies down on the table
Gelda's POV
After almost three hours of shopping Zeldris the girls and I all ended up buying stuff. Though I turns to look at Zeldris who was close by my side, he looked like he was zoned out and thinking about some thing. I put my hand on his head and pulled him close to me till his head was laying on my side and I slowly moved my had down to his ribs. After a few seconds he looked up at me and finally realize what I did and he turned a light shade of pink and looked down. "G-Gelda could we just talk alone a little later, I have something I want to ask you." I smiled at him. "Sure, you don't have to tell me and advance Zel, if you ever have to tell me anything, just tell me. Ok?" He nodded and laid his head back on my side. Elizbeth turned around to check that me and Zeldris were still behind Elaine,Diane and her.
After a few minutes we finally reached the boar hat. Thought we only saw Meliodas Ban and Hawk, so I naturally assumed since I saw Hawk that the Gowther and King got back before us. "So I assume you guys had fun taking Zeldris shopping" Meliodas said in a teasing tone to us. Zeldris just looked down and turned a light shade of pink. Diane began to tell Meliodas what we did along with Elizbeth and Elaine telling him what we all ended up getting. I looked to my side to only realize that Zeldris wasn't there by my side anymore. I went upstairs to our room, I knocked on the door but there was no answer so I open it. The clothes were there but Zeldris was no where in sight. So the last place I thought he possibly went to was the roof, and sure enough as I cautiously went up to the roof he was there with his arms crossed leaning them on the edge of the roof. He looked lost in though. Now that I think back Zeldris has been zoning out a lot lately. Is that why he wanted to talk alone with me. Sometimes he makes me wonder.
