Drabble, no specific time setting. Sookie doesn’t remember when it happened, she just knows that it did. She fell in love.

She sees the flicker of humanity in Pam, the passing moments where my Child expresses her love towards something other than killing and drinking and fucking.

And she loves her for it.

She catches the smallest glimmer of decency in Compton, the ghost of courage and civility he must have possessed as a human.

And she admires him for it.

She notices the shifter's affections towards her, the pure warmth hidden behind the possessiveness that is his nature.

And she respects him for it.

She sees the way I look at her, what I do to protect her, the words I say to soften her, the gestures I make to make her laugh – hell, crack a smile.

I touch and kiss and make love.

I help her hide a body and drive her around like her fucking chauffer and buy her a new coat and gravel her goddamned driveway.

I watch and wait and protect and love.

And she weeps because I don't say it out loud.
