Disclaimer; i don't own True Blood or any of its characters

A/N: wow this one is really short but i've been working on my other Eric/Godric fics. Also sorry if any there any randomly missing words, i type really fast so i miss some. i should proof read these thing but nahh...anyways enjoy!

Godric ran his finger though Eric's long golden hair gently, listening to Eric signed contently. After having his fill at the now destroyed village, Eric and himself fled to the nearest safe place Godric could found and have been there since. Godric looked down at his progeny, who lay with his head in Godric's lap. Eyes closed and completely at ease, one wouldn't believe that Eric had been tortured and almost met the true death.

Even if Godric had gotten to Eric before some serious damage was done, he still felt horrible. He almost had lost his child. He had woken up when he had felt Eric's pain and he had been furious but he couldn't help, he would be too badly burned before he could actually help Eric. Worst he had to lie in the ground waiting while listening to Eric's cries for help. There had only been one time in his life when he had felt so helpless and Godric refused to think about his human life. Godric shook his head to rid himself of those thoughts; right now he was going to focus on Eric.

Godric continued to run his fingers to Eric's hair, raking his nails against Eric's scalp. Scratching one spot behind Eric's ear and then stopped surely Eric didn't just. Godric scratched that spot again and listened closely, there it was! Eric rolled over on his side and rubbed his face against Godric's thigh. Godric stared down at his progeny in question true vampires did revert back their animal instincts but Godric had never heard of a vampire doing that. Eric just purred.

"Eric you need a bath."

Eric gave his maker one of those 'your crazy' looks.

"What about you?"

"I plan on taking one."

Godric smirked at the feeling of dread that came over Eric. One would think that being a grown man Eric wouldn't mind taking a bath. With lice and other bugs not bothering with a copse there was no real reason to wash but Eric was starting to look like he rolled around in mud and blood.

"Come on Eric."

Eric looked at the lake beside then shook his head 'no'. Godric groaned Eric was a grown man NOT an actually child so he needed to stop acting like one.

"Now Eric."

Eric shook his head 'no' again and turned his back to Godric and the lake. That was a big mistake; Godric zipped forward, in blink had gotten rid of Eric's clothes and picked Eric up from under his armpits and with strength Eric couldn't match dragged to edge of the lake and pushed him in. Eric fell in the water staying under for a moment before shooting up like the water had burned him.

Godric rolled his eyes at Eric's actions he was the sixteen year old, shouldn't he be the one acting like a child. Just as Eric was standing up Godric pushed back down and under the water again this time keeping there so Godric could scrub the dirt form his hair. After a while Eric came back and leaned against Godric leg. Godric pulled out a wooden comb that he stole of his latest victim and ran through Eric's wet hair.

"Your hair is beautiful my child, don't ever cut it"

Eric purred in responses to the wonderful feeling the comb created

A/N; told you it was short. does anyone else miss eric's long hair? anyway a friend of mine came up with the bath one and i thought it was super funny because you think eric would act that way.

Please Please review!
