Gone

WARNING: ADULT CONTENT HERE🔞, SORRY FOR THE SUDDEN SPRING UP LOL

If it didn't register above, SMUT WARNING⚠🚨‼📢

Okay great, hope that sunk in.

It had been too long. At first it was kind of annoying, but I found myself looking forward to Meliodas' late night rude awakenings, because it meant that I got to see Riane. It had gotten to the point where I'd lay awake in bed, waiting.

And I know what you're thinking. Why not wake him yourself?

Well? Because I'm a pussy. I don't have the balls to sneak away myself unless he brings it up first.

I turned and sat up, looking across the room to his sleeping form. I was seriously considering doing it today. I'd waited long enough.

But then I saw him slink out of bed. I was up in a flash. He looked at me, wide-eyed, and pressed his finger to his lips sternly.

I read him loud and clear: stop being a fucking oaf.

Now that he knew I was awake, he didn't bother moving over to my side of the room. We left quickly, sneaking past Father like it was nothing.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••This was the grove he'd told me to meet him at, right? I saw the yellow chrysanthemum and the red hibiscuses.

I sat down, putting my chin on my hand. There was a clear river in front of me and I leaned down and looked into it.

I still hadn't found my true eyes yet. They were still this pitch black, evil that I'd always had. I wondered how my brother had found his so easily.

Minutes went by, then hours. My confusion turned into concern, then anger, then pure worry.

What if something had happened to him? I hadn't seen him in three months. What if he'd just given up and stopped coming here altogether? What if he met a better girl and forgot about me?

I stopped at my thoughts and chuckled. I really did like him, didn't I?

Suddenly the leaves rustled behind me. I turned casually, knowing that if it wasn't Riane I'd have no trouble dealing with a problem.

But then my eyes widened, and then narrowed. It wasn't just a problem.

It was Estarossa.

I stood quickly. "What the fuck are you doing here?"

He knew I'd never particularly liked him, and I think he loved that.

"So this is where you two sneak off to, huh? The human world?" He smiled now, that sadistic smile that seemed taped to his face.

"You followed us," I said.

"I was curious, of course," he said. "I just came from following Meliodas, and boy did I see things I did not want to see."

Ugh, gross.

"So what's your motive? You want to tell Father what we've been doing? Are you really that bored?"

He chuckled. "God, no. That bastard would find a way to include me in the blame. No, I want to be included in your little adventures."

I crossed my arms and raised an eyebrow. "You want to come to the human world with us. And do what? You won't exactly be hitting it off with anyone, you fucking psycho."

He rolled his eyes. "Has it ever occurred to you that adventure isn't all about the pathetic thing you call love? I just want a change of scenery, that's all."

Another disadvantage of our stupid hollow eyes is that you could never read someone. Though that may have been more of an Estarossa problem.

"You know what, fine. Just...don't kill anyone, please. And if I get any inclination whatsoever that you're trying to get Father to find out, well...your nightmares wouldn't even encompass what I'll do to you," I said, and smiled sweetly.

His smile faded and he took a step back. "I guess I'll be on my way then."

I waved sarcastically.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••I was just starting to accept that Riane had moved on when I heard the rustle of the leaves.

I stood this time, not wanting to take any chances. Who knows, maybe it was Zeldris this time.

But the face I'd been longing for for so long stood there, smiling but registering shock to see me.

"Y-You came!" he laughed, running to me and lifting me in his arms, spinning me around.

When he set me down, both of us laughing, I shoved him.

"How can you keep a girl waiting for so long?"

"Oh, excuse me, it's not like I've been waiting three freaking months," he retorted.

"Shut up," I smiled, pulling him in by his shirt and kissing him.

He tasted nice today, like...cherries.

He pulled away, placing his forehead on mine. "I really missed you, little demon."

"I felt like I was going to explode every day I didn't see you," I said, taking his hands in mine.

We stood there in silence, just enjoying being in each other's company.

Then he leaned in and kissed me again, this time the passion unmistakable. My hands cupped his face as I sighed into the kiss as well.

Suddenly he grunted, and I opened my eyes. I had pushed him into a tree.

"Sorry," I smiled sheepishly. Damn it. I couldn't get too careless or I could seriously hurt him.

He just chuckled and picked me by my thighs, turning so that my back was to the tree.

His kisses became more aggressive, more wanting, as I felt his tongue slide across my lips. My tongue came up to meet his.

He moved to my neck, and I closed my eyes again and smiled. God, I'd missed this.

Then, with him still carrying me, he moved us away from the tree and set me down on the soft grass. He slid off my top, unhooking the bra with ease.

"I missed you so fucking much," Riane growled next to my ear as he kissed my neck again. He moved down to my breasts and sucked on the nipples.

He knew I was most sensitive there, so I know he was smiling when I gasped out in pleasure.

I suddenly realized my grip on his arms was getting a little too tight, so I let go and let my hands loose on the grass below me. It was long, so I had a good grip.

His kisses trailed lower down, and he was at my navel. I moaned out as he reached the line of my pants, and involuntarily lifted myself slightly as he pulled them down aggressively. My underwear came down right along with it.

"Oh, come on, please..." I whined as he kissed my thighs. I was going to explode from the anticipation.

He looked up at me, smirking. "You're lucky it's been too long."

And then he was devouring me. I cried out loudly, taken off guard, and the grass in my fists came up by the root.

While he tasted me there, his thumb massaged my clit, and I whined. "Fuck..."

He brought me closer and closer to the edge, reaching my most sensitive spot again and again, and then, just when I was about to come, he stopped.

I gasped, looking down. "No, don't stop."

I was pretty sure I was growling at him, and the look on my face would've driven any sane man running for his life.

I guess that's a reason why I loved him so much. He was kind of crazy.

He smirked, and shook his head. "Not yet, little demon."

He pulled his own clothes off, and stooped over me. He stroked my cheek gently.

"You're so beautiful," he smiled.

The murderous look I had on my face evaporated, and I looked at him softly. "I love you."

He leaned in and kissed me. "I love you too."

And then he slid inside me. I yelled out, my fingers digging deep into the hard soil and submerging themselves.

He thrust deeper and deeper into me, grunting and then moaning himself.

"Fuck, you're amazing," he breathed, panting as he moved.

I pulled my hand out of the soil and he involuntarily pinned it above my head with his own hand, our fingers linking together.

"Oh my God," I whined, my eyes shut tight as I moved dangerously close to my limit.

He moved faster and faster, thrusting deeper into me and rushing wave after wave of euphoric pleasure through my entire body.

The telltale bubble began to build up deep in my stomach, getting larger and larger until it was almost uncomfortable.

Riane's moaning had reached a crescendo as well, and now we both yelled out in harmony, as the bubble popped with tremendous force and I gloriously came. At the same time I felt him fill me up, groaning heavily as he released himself into me. He slowed to a stop, and pulled himself out.

We both lay in the soft grass, panting as my heartbeats attempted to calm themselves down.

Riane's head was suddenly above mine, and he kissed me softly. The corners of my mouth turned up in a smile as I tangled my hands in his hair.

Then I felt his face tense up, and I pulled away, opening my eyes. "What's wrong?"

"Oh, it's nothing," he chuckled sheepishly.

My gaze went down to his hand, the one that held mine above me moments ago. It was purple and looked absolutely crushed.

My eyes widened. "Oh my God. Oh my God, I am so sorry, Riane."

He shrugged and smiled. "It's nothing, like I said. It'll be fine. It looks worse than it is."

I buried my face in my knees. "What the fuck is wrong with me...?"

"Hey!" Riane snapped.

I snapped my head up.

"I said it's fine. Okay? Stop beating yourself up about it right fucking now."

"Why are you so stubborn?" I smiled weakly, lifting the hand onto my lap and examining it slowly.

Wait a second.

I stood up. "Come with me. Elizabeth can fix this in a snap!"

I began to walk, but Riane cleared his throat.

"I think Elizabeth and Meliodas would appreciate it if we showed up with our clothes on, don't you?"

I stopped and looked back at him. "Always patronizing me."

I snatched the clothes he'd held up for me in mock anger, and put them on.

"Hold on, let me help you with that," I said, noticing Riane struggling to put on his shirt with one hand.

We headed back to where I knew Meliodas and Elizabeth would be meeting, a little tavern with a B&B above it.

"Here, cradle your hand towards your chest so it's protected," I said.

Riane chuckled in amusement. "Okay, little demon."

We made our way to the tavern, and found the bar owner, Ron, fixing a customer a stein.

"Hey, Ron!" I waved, smiling.

"Prelialduis, you're in town! It's been a while," Ron smiled back.

"Yeah, it has. I see the tavern's been busy. That's good."

"I'm very grateful for the business. It's really kept me on my toes!" he nodded, his hands on his hips.

"I'm glad. Which room are Meliodas and Elizabeth in?" I asked.

"That would be the one on the third floor. It's new, and only one room, for...ahem, special instances," Ron said, winking.

I laughed. "Thanks Ron."

"Come down for a drink afterwards, the four of you," he waved.

"Will do!"

We headed up the stairs all the way to the top, where one door stood at the center.

He'd better not scar me.

"Hey, Meliodas! Open up," I called, knocking hard on the door.

No answer.

I knocked louder.

I was half-contemplating whether to risk seeing things I'd never unsee and go in anyway, or just give up and wait, when the door creaked open.

Meliodas' head stuck out, one eye closed and the other squinting. I was still envious of his eyes, but now was not the time. He was very obviously not wearing a shirt, but I wasn't going to take that thought any further.

"What the fuck do you want?" he grunted.

"Did we wake you, wittle baby?" I smiled, faking a baby voice.

He moved to close the door again, no lie, but I placed my foot between the door.

He sighed.

My smile faded. "We need Elizabeth."

He opened his other eye in concern. "Give me a moment."

He closed the door, and  we stood there for a few moments before he opened it again, motioning for us to go in.

He had quickly shuffled on his pants, and Elizabeth stood, her hair ruffled, in a towel.

How repulsive.

Not the point!

"Hi, Elizabeth," I waved. "I am so sorry for dropping in on you guys like this."

"No, no, it's perfectly all right," she smiled, then yawned. "It must be important."

I chose not to pick up on the subtle sarcasm in her tone. She'd been hanging out with Meliodas too long.

"Hey, Elizabeth," Riane smiled.

She noticed his hand. "Oh, my God!"

She rushed up to him, looking closer at the hand he cradled with the other.

"What the hell happened to you?" Meliodas asked, eyebrow raised.

Riane opened his mouth to talk, but I cut him off. "He accidentally ran into a tree."

Riane, Elizabeth and Meliodas looked at me, unamused.

"A tree," Meliodas repeated, deadpan.

I nodded.

"You idiot," Meliodas and Riane said together.

Elizabeth wasted no time in holding her arms out to Riane's arm, and a glowing green light appeared around it. In a few seconds it faded, and his hand was the right shade and didn't look mangled anymore.

He tested his fingers out, flexing them. "Good as new. Thanks a lot, Elizabeth."

She smiled. "Don't mention it."

"Maybe Prel can run you into a tree a little softer next time," Meliodas snickered.

I punched him in the shoulder, pushing him back a few feet.

"Ow," he whined, rubbing his shoulder.

"Thanks, Eli. We'll be going now," I said.

"Thanks for coming," she chuckled.

Suddenly I remembered the other reason I'd come. "Hey, guys? We have a problem."

"What is it?" Riane asked.

My eyes narrowed. "Estarossa."

Meliodas' eyes turned onyx, and when he spoke his voice was deeper, harsher. "What happened?"

"He came to me in the grove. He wants us to come with him every time we come over here. Apparently he wants to 'have his own adventures'," I hissed.

"That's not good for the Humans," Elizabeth said, looking down in thought.

"Exactly. But I threatened him, and I don't think he'll be telling Father."

"Good," Meliodas said. "So he's here right now?"

"Yeah. I don't know where he went, though. For at least this visit, I don't think he'll do anything rash."

He nodded. "So we have to be more careful. I'll be damned if I let him come here again."

"Exactly," I said. "Anyway, that's a problem for when we get back. I just wanted you to know."

"Thanks," he sighed heavily, before allowing his eyes to turn green again.

My eyes lit up(well, ish). "Riane, come with me. There's something I have to show you."

He took my hand, and we waved the icky couple goodbye and left.

"I'm sorry again about wrecking your hand," I said sincerely.

"I could've died! What would you have done without me then?" he smiled, holding his chest.

"God, you're such a drama queen."

We headed back to the grove, and I led him down a path that he clearly had never noticed, because he looked around in wonder.

We emerged in a little embankment inside a cave, and the water shimmered and reflected on the surface of the cave.

"How the hell-" he began, but I silenced him with a kiss.

"Just sit down and enjoy it," I smiled when I pulled away.

We lay down, my head on his lap, and we formed a T. The silence was warm and comforting as we watched the reflection of the water dance like a moving picture on the walls.

Then we talked the day away, and the place was even more immaculate with the stars shining above.

"Why do you have to leave?" Riane asked, sitting up.

"Because I don't want my father to literally destroy everything in rage," I chuckled, sitting up as well and turning to face him.

"I hate the void I feel when you're gone," he sighed, plucking at the grass strands.

"I feel the exact same thing. But it's because I love you that I have to leave. If he ever realized the reason I leave, you'd be killed before my eyes. Or even worse, he'd make me kill you. He has this sickening control over me, and I always do what he says, even when I don't want to. I don't understand it...it's like this - this hypnotizing feeling, and sometimes I can fight it. But when I can't...people die. And I can't take that chance with you."

He touched my cheek. "Little demon, I'm not scared of you. You could never hurt me."

"But I could. I've hurt friends I cared about, and loved it. It could bring me a perverse amount of joy doing something like that to you."

He smiled. "We all have things we've done that we regret. But I know you wouldn't hurt me."

I looked at him, his eyes so full of love and confidence, that I kind of started to see it. Leaving that shitty hell and being with Riane here. Being together, even if he grew old before my eyes and he had to leave me. At least I'd have been with him.

I leaned and kissed him. I kissed him until I couldn't breathe. Then I pulled away.

My eyes were closed, but I slowly opened them and looked at him, and I felt so much love in my eyes. They felt tingly, happy.

Riane's eyes widened.

"What?" I asked.

He just smiled, and turned my chin to face the water. In the reflection, I saw my face. My pudgy childish face, despite me being 800 years old. And my eyes.

My bright green eyes.

I gasped. "Riane! Riane!"

He chuckled.

"They're so pretty," I grinned stupidly, leaning closer to the water to see them better.

He waited for me to look back at him, and he shook his head.

"No. They're beautiful."

If it was possible, my crazy wide grin got even wider, and I threw myself at him, hugging him.

"You're amazing," I whispered into his shoulder.

His hug tightened in response.••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••Pretty long chapter, but I was having too much fun. I just let the words flow and I couldn't stop.

Also, I had promised myself at least one of the chapters would have some smuttiness, so bear with me please😂.

Please comment, I love that shit.

K bye!
