A/N: I was severely traumatised (as I'm sure were many of you) by the S5 E/P video and was contemplating whether or not write something when x0xFemmeRougex0x requested a story based off the video. So, here it is: my answer to that video. If you haven't seen it, it's not strictly necessary and I wouldn't recommend it :P I apologise that it's short, but I didn't want to get too carried away before the season starts :) Many thanks to excusemeb who sent me the song.
Dedication: For x0xFemmeRougex0x, I hope I do your request justice :)
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
One & Only
…
So you want to be my friend, so you want to be my lover
With you I do confess
I can't be one without the other
That was hard for me to say
I hope I said it right
Which ever, come what may, you see I need to know tonight
Do you want to be my one and only love?
Do you want to be my one and only love?
--"One And Only," Teitur

"If you can't trust me more than Bill Compton or a werewolf for Christ's sake then release me. Get it over with…Just say the words: as your Maker, I release you. Say it and we're done…Say it!"
He hadn't said it.
He hadn't said anything.
Instead, he'd just turned and silently left the room.
He couldn't find the words to make her stay, but he'd be damned if he said the words to make her go.
Once outside he took off running at vampire speed; he didn't know where he was going but he had to get away. He had to think.
He slowed as he reached woodland.
How had he let it come to this?
She had never done anything except protect him, trust him…love him. And he had repaid it all with suspicion and neglect.
After more than a century of her being the centre of his world, he'd somehow managed to shift her out of his world.
No wonder nothing seemed to make sense anymore: he had lost sight of what was important.
He stopped short as he suddenly found himself in Sookie's yard.
Perhaps it was fitting that he found himself back here: the source of all his trouble.
He took a deep unnecessary breath; it was time to end this.
