After the great war had ended, the members of the Seven Deadly Sin went their separate ways. However, Escanor had lost his memories and is now struggling to find out who he was and what he had always wanted to tell her how he really felt...

Her words keeps replaying in my mind, like a broken recorder. I know Merlin is not a normal woman who needs protection especially from a man...but I want to protect her even from something she sees as trivial. I know it may seem selfish from me...but what use would I be to her? If protecting her with this gigantic body serves her well, so let me...
Am I being obsessive? possessive? I don't know, whatever dangers befalls her I would go without even thinking, regards of my own safety, motives, heck even my own life. I hope she understands even a bit of my feelings... Why do I suddenly feel so strongly for her? I had only met her this past few days and my own mind is going insane for her. Is she that attractive to other men? I mean she and Arthur seem to have a good vibe going on... What am I even thinking? Where am I? Merlin are you alright? I want to see you...
"Is he alright? That's one massive wound to have for him in this form..."
That voice seems familiar? Is it Arthur or...her. As I grunt from the pain, I was shock to see the size of the wound. It was nearly my whole chest!
"Jesus Christ! How am I even still alive! Is this from the trap near the church??" I tried getting out of the bed but the pain is too overbearing...
"Don't force yourself too hard, you need to rest" A calm yet soothing voice was behind me.
As I turn around, it was her...the woman I just tried to protect from getting killed. Maybe I was trying to impress her, heck maybe it was my pride to look cool in front of her. Now being in this tiny form, I barely have the strengh to sit upward and needed her help for that. As she aid me, her face was close... I could smell her hair, it was a sweet scent that immediately made me blush.
"There...slowly get up and rest on the pillow." Merlin instructed.
"T-thanks Merlin, what happened at the church?"
I could see Merlin gaze, she was looking straight at me. Her golden orbs could suck me in if she stares at me that long...
"The church trap was a set up by the demon controlled soldiers, civilians and some soldiers were hiding inside the church hoping for help to come as the demons were chasing them. That trap was pretty lethal too, it would decapitate any man or living being in half...I am impressed you took that and is still intact, as one might expect from the Lion's Sin..."
Merlin placed her forehead against mine, while trying to measure my temperature. I blushed when her face was practically just centimeters from mine.
"M-merlin I..."
Suddenly, the door barge open. There stood the King of Camelot, Arthur. He quickly grabbed Merlin and exited the room.
"What the hell Arthur! What are you doing? This is my chamber didn't I teach you some manners called knocking?"

Merlin POV:
Arthur seems flustered or bothered, I wonder what happened during his aid expedition?
"Arthur...how's the expedition? You seem tired, you should get some rest. You need to be rested to properly serve your country right?"
He seems annoyed as he grabbed my arm and asks something totally ridiculous.
"I want you to do that with me too. What you did with Escanor... Check my temperature"
"Are you having a fever too? Sure I would use some healing magic to sort you out."
"No I don't want that kind of treatment. I want you to be more personal please..." Arthur pouts while grabbing Merlin's hand.
"...Personal? Aren't we personal friends Arthur? What do you mean? I can't comprehend your meaning please explain again"
"...You sure are dense..."
Arthur pulled Merlin while he placed his lips on hers.
Escanor POV:
What happened to them? What took them so long? I tried to will myself to get up, to my suprise I could. As I walked out I saw something which seems to break myself. The two of them were in embrace while kissing. I feel anger raging inside me...or was it? I don't even know anymore. Whether it is anger, sadness or whatever. I quickly went back in the room, trying of ways to disappear from this situation. It was sunrise, I tried to force my powers to trigger and it did...
I quickly jumped out of the window, even though this was the top level of the castle.. I just landed on the roof of one of the houses. Why did I even run away from? What am I so afraid of? Is it my own pride or fear of Merlin loving Arthur instead of me?
I DON'T EVEN KNOW!!!
"I need to disappear... I can't compete with the King of a kingdom I am trying to start a new life with...or should I? I might not be able to see her again...
