Y/N P.O.V

"Thank you for letting us stay with you," Liz smiled brightly. Currently, we had just made the journey to my small hut. I opened the door and went inside.

"Of course! Meliodas is an old friend of mine and I would never turn away both of you if you need a place to stay. Besides! I want to get to know you better, Liz," I explained. "The children are usually quite shy. Mika is normally very sassy, but I've never seen her so happy since her parents died," I added.

(My six year old brother was reading over my shoulder and just said 'that's a sad story that her parents died'. My heart just melted-)

"Really? She seemed like a very cheerful girl to me," Meliodas inquired. The two entered my home as I closed the door behind them. "Feel free to make yourselves at home. If you need anything, don't be afraid to ask," I smiled.

"It's getting quite late. Would you like somthing to eat?" I asked. "Food would be lovely. Thank you, Y/N!" Liz answered. Meliodas suddenly raised his hand. "Oo! Let me help!" Liz immediately shook her head. "No way! Your food may look appetizing, but the taste isn't the best," Liz chuckled.

I giggled. "That makes sense. I do always remember our friends had to do the cooking. We wouldn't let Meliodas within a foot of the food," I laughed at the memory. "I personally do all the cooking since Meliodas isn't the best at it. If there's any way I can help, just let me know," the pinkette offered.

I went ahead and prepared dinner. I made the table and we all talked as we ate. Meliodas seemed so happy with Liz, but there was a sadness he carried with him. "Oh! I suppose that I should show you where you both will be staying. Don't worry, I'll clean the dishes,"

I purposefully lead Liz to her room and gave her everything she would need for the night. Meliodas looked up at me with a serious look. I sighed softly. "Don't worry. I didn't forget," I led Meliodas back into the main room and sat down with him beside me.

"As you suspected. I was cursed, Meliodas. Although, I haven't been able to figure it out," I spoke softly. Gently, I lifted up my left sleeve to show him the dark marks that covered my arm.

His eyes widened. "But- those are demon markings!" I nodded. "For some reason, every couple years they spread. It used to just be my hand, but now my whole arm is practically covered. And every time it spreads, I can feel my grace leaving me as well as my very sanity," my voice was reduced to a whisper.

Meliodas let out a soft hum as he closed his eyes, deep in thought. "We were both cursed for similar reasons and around the same time frame. Do you happen to have the dates of when it spread?" He asked seriously, a hint of sterness in hia voice.

"I do," I simply answered. I stood up to grab an old worn out journal from my shelf. "I wrote down the dates in hopes of finding a pattern, but I was  never able to figure it out," sitting back down, Meliodas took the journal and looked through it.

His green eyes widened almost immediately. Flipping through the pages quickly, his shock only seemed to grow. "But- these are all dates when Elizabeth or I died-" he muttered in shock. My own eyes widened in response. "Our curses may be connected after all. Meliodas, you're a genius!"

"What'd you expect?!" The demon chuckled cheekily. I smirked and chuckled myself. "Nowww, don't forget your own half of the bargain. You need to tell me everything about the last 1500 years!"

¤¤....¤¤....¤¤

Meliodas carefully explained everything to me. His voice was soft, to keep Liz from overhearing. Tears welled up in my eyes. I immediately wrapped my arms around him. Mel put his arms around me tightly and almost immediately. "I'm so sorry, Mel," I whispered. "I'll do whatever I can to help you break this curse. I promise that!"

The room was silent except for Meliodas' soft sobs. He'd had to endure this pain alone for so many years. I couldn't blame him.

"Meliodas, we'll get through this together. We'll break both of our curses, somehow...."

¤¤....¤¤....¤¤

(I suggest playing rain asmr of some sort to help set the mood. Personally, I use The Promised Neverland, Isabella's lullaby with rain)

Once Meliodas calmed down, I showed him where his room was.

Drop

Drip

Drop

I turned towards the window to see the pouring rain outside. I immediately put my hand on the glass. I closed my eyes, resting my head on the glass.

"Zeldris...whervever you are...please be okay...I know you'll keep your promise..."

"I'll come back for you! I promise!"

My voice cracked while the tears fell down my porcelain-like face.

"Brother....watch over Zeldris, Elizabeth and Meliodas....."

The rain always seemed to find a way to make me cry. It only brought back lost memories of the one day Zeldris and I had gotten lost in the rain and Sariel was so worried he practically sent out a whole search team.

¤¤....¤¤....¤¤

"Zeldris! Look, it's raining!" I exclaimed as I pointed towards the sky. He looked up as he leaned against the tree. "It is raining..." he mumbled to himself, holding his hand out.

We were looking for a good spot to test our endurance, but the rain had started pouring so hard that we couldn't find the way back

I giggled as I twirled around in the rain, holding out my hands, letting the rain fall on my face. The demon looked up at me and smiled softly. "You'll get a cold staying out in the rain like that," he spoke softly. His tone was caring, as if he was genuinely concerned.

"And you'll have no fun, staying out of the rain like that," I flew over to him and grabbed his hands, pulling him into the rain. "We're already lost. We might as well make the most of it!" I giggled.

Zeldris let out a soft sigh. "I guess it couldn't hurt," he mumbled. He suddenly placed my hand on his left shoulder and my right hand in his while his own left hand was on my shoulder blade. "I assume that you know how to dance," he smirked.

I smirked myself. "I do. Lead the way, oh great Prince Zeldris," I chuckled. Zeldris laughed lightly himself. "Will do, oh perverted goddess," he teased back. "Hey! I'm not perverted!" I  exclaimed, my cheeks red.

"Your blush only proves it," he smiled, as we danced in the rain. "No it doesn't," I puffed out my cheeks, mumbling. Suddenly, I let out a quiet sneeze. "Achoo!" Zeldris sighed and grabbed my right wrist, leading me under a large tree.

"I told you that you'd get a cold," Zeldris sat down. I sat down next to him and sighed. "That sneeze doesn't prove anything!" Before I knew it, I had sneezed again. I frowned playfully and puffed out my cheeks. "Whatever," I hit his shoulder softly.

Suddenly, I saw Zeldris's dark wings wrap around us. "This should help keep the rain out. Theoretically, it should also help keep us warm. After all, we're pretty much stuck here until the storm passes over and we can see again," I nodded and yawned before laying my head on his lap.

"I'm tiredd," I complained playfully. Before I could get up, he set his hand on my head. "Then sleep. We'll get you home after the storm passes over," a blush covered my face, while I smiled.

Wrapping my arms around his waist, my head on his lap, his hand playing with my H/L H/C hair, we both fell asleep to the sound of rain.
