A/N: One more exam left thank goodness. Sorry for not updating any True Blood fic lately I've been trying to study for Modern History. I thought it would be fun to get some more Hadley/Sophie-Anne fan fiction going. So what better way than a multi-chapter fic of a mixture of smut, fluff and angst of this pair. I've always been intruguied as to what their lives would have been like before season 4 so here it is. If you have any suggestions feel free to let me know. It's actually kinda fun writing as the queen through different emotions, she's always either so childish or stoic but she's not all heartless I'd presume there were these kinds of emotions somewhere in her.

Disclaimer: I don't own either of these lovely ladies. I just borrowed them from Charlaine Harris and Alan Ball.

The warm breath that brushed almost whisper soft against the monarch's neck was more than enough to rouse her from the light sleep she had been in. It only took the prestigious vampire queen a few seconds to register where she was, her bright red lips tilting up in a small smile at the serene scene.

She raised a slender hand to smooth along the shiny blonde hair of her human who was currently resting her head in the crook of Sophie-Anne's neck, incoherent words tumbling from her pink lips as she snuggled closer to the queen. The monarch held back her gasp of surprise as the human shifted, pressing her face further against her upper chest while her arm splayed unceremoniously across the vampire's waist.

Although the five hundred year old vampire wasn't really one for affection there was still some humanity left in her despite other's beliefs, she only let Hadley see these softer sides of her; running the back of her hand across the blonde's cheek and smiling as she shifted again in her sleep.

Wrapping her arms around her human in a comforting gesture, Sophie-Anne carefully sat upright letting her head rest against her bare chest; secretly pleased when she remained asleep. Her wide blue eyes surveyed the large expanse of the bedroom, noticing the clothing that was piled on the carpet near the door from the night before.

A soft murmur erupted from Hadley's lips and the queen froze momentarily, relaxing as she continued to sleep against her; stroking her hand delicately over her face again. It was days like this that made the queen thankful that she had someone she cared for and loved, the current human that was sleeping in her arms meant the absolute world to the queen; not that she would tell anybody else her simple weakness.

She wasn't entirely sure what had drawn her to the blonde in the first place, maybe it was her childish demeanor that almost matched her own or the way her blue eyes sparkled whenever she was thrilled at finally being able to scream out Yahtzee for once; much to Sophie-Anne's displeasure. All monarch really knew was that she felt a deep connection with the human, one that couldn't simply be explained.

It was moments like this that almost made the queen wish she was human again, her eyes briefly glancing towards the block out shades on the bedroom windows knowing that if she hadn't put them in place centuries ago she wouldn't be able to share such an intimate moment with her lover. The thought almost saddened her, peeking down at the delicate human in her grasp who seemed to smile in her sleep.

Sophie-Anne rested her head against Hadley's; sighing longingly at the mixture of scents that instantly met her. The blonde smelt delightful, she smelt of the sunshine on a warm summer's day, the uncontaminated yet almost salty smell of the river; of freshly mown grass. Her eyes rolled back into her head, smoothing one hand across the intricately woven silk sheets that held such a contrast to both of their skins as she captured Hadley's hand in her own, their fingers lacing together. The queen gave a soft squeeze, bringing their entwined hand to her lips before pressing a soft kiss to the back of the blonde's hand.

As she continued to watch the monarch felt slightly at ease almost saddened as she wondered how many moments she would be able to share like this before Hadley was taken away from her. Sophie-Anne was a smart woman, although a little childish she knew that this paradise wouldn't last very long the debt she owed the IRS practically resting on her shoulders. In a state of vulnerability the monarch knew if she showed any weakness and if anybody found out her secret, her relationship with the blonde they'd do anything to make sure that weakness was exploited.

Before she knew what was happening Sophie-Anne noticed a crimson dollop of blood on Hadley's cheek, suddenly aware of her own cheeks being wet with the blood that streaked down them from her tears.

"Your highness?" a sleepy voice questioned as the blonde finally opened her eyes, rubbing at them before she sat upright again noticing the blood that stained the monarch's face.

"Y-You're crying!" she exclaimed, brow creasing in worry; her face only inches from Sophie-Anne's very own. "What's wrong?" Hadley's eyes were wide with fear, the queen practically sense it from the intimate blood bond they shared.

Despite her overwhelming emotion, the monarch was surprised when a laugh bubbled up from her throat and left her parted lips. She covered a hand over her mouth, watching as the blonde's brow creased cutely in confusion.

"There's nothing the matter Hadley." Sophie-Anne confirmed a few minutes later, wiping at her face with the back of her hands before smiling sweetly. She noticed the doubt that bloomed on her human's face before she mimicked the monarch's smile.

"I promise you there's nothing wrong." The queen added, capturing Hadley's face between her hands and pulling her in for a soft kiss their lips meeting momentarily before she finally pulled away.

The smile that broke out onto Hadley's face raised Sophie-Anne's spirits and she squeezed her hand softly before leaning back against the bed rest, Hadley's head on her chest as she felt her soft breaths; smoothing a hand over her head again. The monarch regained her regal air again, feeling almost foolish for her sudden lapse staring down at the blonde who looked so content in her company. The monarch couldn't help but smile again, knowing that she would treasure these moments and do whatever she could to protect her Hadley.

A/N: So I'm not really used to writing this kinda fluff so sorry if it's a little OOC. Lemme know what you all think?
