AN: This is an Eric/Sookie story, as most of you have probably already guessed. I watched the Season 2 Episode 9 and I couldn't resist writing this even though I'm meant to be concentrating on my other story.

SPOLIER ALERT for all aired episodes.

This also has some slight Eric/Godric, although it's not sexual.

At the moment it's only a one-shot, maybe later on I'll add a few more chapters. It's most likely I will as whilst writing this I couldn't stop thinking of more and more scenes. They may take awhile though.

I was listening to Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye and other songs of his while typing this.

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters, or the storyline I've borrowed from the show.

I left Bill with a heavy heart, I don't think he really understood, and in that moment I didn't have it in me to explain. I wasn't going to Godric because I felt obligated and it wasn't because I was tender-hearted. It was the Eric in me that felt the need to go to Godric, and I couldn't deny it, because, if I was truthful I wanted to soothe him as well. I wanted to help him, I wanted to stop him and if I couldn't do that... I would be with him till the end.

I rushed to the roof and my heart broke watching Eric. He stood strong and angry, the epitome of a Viking. Then he broke, I watched him fall to his knees and kneel before his maker as he began to plead with him to save himself. They were everything to each other, father, brother and son. Now it was all going to change.

They were speaking in Swedish, I couldn't understand their words, but I didn't need to. Their faces said it all, this was the first time I had seen Eric cry and I hoped it would be the last. Godric stood before him, as compassionate as always. I listened intently as they switched to English again.

Godric asked him to 'let him go'.

'I won't let you die alone.' Eric stated and something in me broke. I could see the determination in his eyes, he would stay and meet the sun with Godric. No, no I needed him, he couldn't just fade away, not now!

'Yes, you will. As your maker, I command you.'

My relief was great, it poured through me. I knew Eric had been released from Godric so he didn't have to follow what he said, but he would, he had too much faith and love in him for Godric to disobey him, and for that I was glad. Eric's eyes feasted on Godric's form, this would be the last time he saw him, although he would have numerous lifetimes of memories to remember him from.

He turned to me and walked over. I clasped his hand, trying to convey every thought of mine to him. I knew he couldn't hear them but he could feel everything I felt. I poured everything I was feeling towards my bond to him. All the love, sadness and frustration I felt. He nodded his head, acknowledging my unspoken words, before leaning down and whispering.

'Come, meet me afterwards. Room 31. Penthouse floor.'

I nodded taking the key he offered me, before reaching up and clasping my hands around him in a brief hug.

'I'll stay with him, as long as it takes.'

I let go and walked towards Godric, knowing Eric would leave now, however unwilling. I would stay with him, Godric, the Eric in me only intensified the need to stay here and be with Godric while I could.

These last few moments were precious to me. I was scared, so scared, for Godric and for Eric. How could Godric want to burn? The pain, just the thought of it overwhelmed me, the tears fled my eyes, rolling down my face in streams.

His last words touched me more then I could have expressed. They rolled round my head.

'A human with me at the end, and human tears. 2000 years and I can still be surprised, in this I see God.'

We'd said our goodbyes but still I couldn't bring myself to turn away from the sunrise. I stood there for what may have been hours but was probably only minutes. I strode forward, grabbing Godric's shirt before making my way back in to the building.

I wanted nothing more than to go to Eric. The need was overwhelming me.

I rushed to his room, not even bothering to knock. I entered with my key and scanned the living room. He wasn't here. He wasn't here, it sank in. No, where was he? I looked again, he definitely wasn't here. The panic began to fill me. I moved towards the bedroom and my body flooded with relief once again. He was there, sitting on the bed, as still as a statue.

I rushed to his side and wrapped my arms around him. I began to sob. I felt myself shift as Eric un-wrapped my arms and placed me on his lap. I looked into his face to see his bloody tears streaming down. I didn't even think about it, it was instinct. I kissed him.

Our kisses turned heated as we stripped each other of our clothes. His body was exactly as I had imagined it in my dream. He was a god. I looked into his eyes as he filled me. I'd never felt anything like it. We moved together as the pleasure over took us. I pulled Eric down to my neck, letting him know it was ok to feed of me. I wanted him to. He took only a little blood before slashing a line across his own neck and putting his neck to my lips. His blood was exquisite. Before I had barely tasted it, now I cherished it. I drank a little before lapping at the surrounding skin. We came together and as Eric collapsed on me I whispered into his ear.

'Sleep my lover. It is early and you need to rest.'

He didn't answer me, but I could feel him clearly, his grief was overwhelming. He moved of me, before pulling me into his side. I smiled inside, happy with something so simple. Bill had hated to snuggle but I loved to.

Sleep took us both. Before it claimed me, I wished for only one thing. I prayed that in the morning we would both feel better. No not both of us, only Eric. I needed for him to feel better. If he didn't neither would I. We were tied together now, and I couldn't find it in me to feel anything but joy about it.

AN: I hope you all enjoyed it. Please leave me some reviews telling me what you think. If you have any ideas for more Eric/Sookie interaction tell me about it and if I can I will try to include it in this (slow moving) story.

By that I mean it most likely won't be updated quickly, sorry.
