[Light]

Meliodas had things scattered around, but he seemed to know where everything was as he grabbed some shirts and other things they'd need to change into from the drawers and the floor. "Not that I'd mind, but I think my mom kinda keeps track. She's kinda weird about that, ya know?"

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

"Can I...do you have a bathroom I can wash up in?" Betram asked hesitantly.

[Light]

Meliodas nods and points into the hall, "The door to the right, on this side of the hall,"

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

"C-Can I use it? I haven't had a bath in a l-long time.." Betram blushed.

[Light]

"Go ahead, I told you where it is, ya know? When you get back, I'll have some comics picked out for ya," Meliodas peels off his shirt and lays it on the floor,while picking up another one.

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

Betram nodded and scurried down the hall, following where Melodias pointed him.

[Light]

Meliodas continued to change in his room after Betram had left. After he had finished, the boy had begun to start fishing around his room for the colorful books that he had promised to show the other.

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

Betram was quick about his shower, staying in the bathroom to change into the the clothes that Meliodas gave to him. When he peeked back into the bedroom, he looked like an entirely new person. It turned out that his hair wasn't brown- it was white. He played with the ends of his hair as he shuffled over to him, violet eyes on the floor, "Thanks.."

[Light]

"Wo-ow," he voiced excitedly from where he sat on the bed. "You look like--totally different ya know? Cool," he waved him over with an exaggerated flap of his hand, his other holding a comic. "Come on, this one's my favorite,"

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

Betram looked down at the bed before he perched on the edge, taking the comic in gentle hands, "W-What is it about?"

[Light]

"S'called Captain America, one of the really old ones." He answered while he snagged another from the pile he had collected. "Figured if ya were gonna learn what a superhero is, you need to start with him, ya know?"

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

Betram flipped the comic book open and hunched over it, "It has pictures," he murmured in surprised.

[Light]

Meliodas smiled broadly, "Makes it funner to read, instead of all those icky words smashed together," he explained while he flipped through the pages of his own.

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

He ran his fingers over the pictures, "People draw these?"

[Light]

"Yeah," Meliodas nodded his head, "my dad drew a couple too, and when I get bigger, I wanna draw'em too, ya know?"

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

"R-Really?" Betram's violet eyes were wide as he glanced up at him.

[Light]

"Y-up," Meliodas said while he popped the 'p' with his lips. "...what do you wanna do?"

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

"I wanna read this," Betram murmured, looking down at the comic book.

[Light]

"okay, yeah," Meliodas bobbed his head up and down before he looked back down at his own comic.

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

Betram opened the comic book slowly, holding the page as though it were a delicate treasure.
