Author's Note: This takes place in the Winds of Change universe, somewhere between the chapters 10 Hellsings New Pet and Chapter 11 Secret Meetings and Strange Bedfellows.
It had been only two weeks, but Seras was probably the happiest she had even been. She hummed made up tunes, smiled a whole lot more and practically skipped wherever she went. Everyone else also seemed to notice and her good mood was contagious. Well almost, the only person who didn't catch the good mood bug was Integra. But then again, Integra never caught anything, not even a cold. However, the Hellsing director did catch the curiosity bug, especially when the draculina skipped into her office one morning, all sunshine and butterflies, gave her a big hug and a kiss on the cheek and telling her that she was 'the best boss ever'.
"Seras, is there something wrong?" asked Integra slowly and clearly not used to getting hugs and kisses.
"Oh no, Sir Integra. I'm just very happy."
"Happy about what exactly?"
"About your decision to let Sam stay here."
Finally, Integra understood Seras' good mood. The draculina had found a friend and a big sister in the shapeshifter. She had noticed that the two seemed to click the instant the met and they spent a lot of time together, whenever Sam was not trying to proposition Integra for kinky doings. Integra really couldn't blame Seras for being happy. Before Sam came, Seras only had the soldiers, Integra or Alucard for company and none of them were suitable as friends. The female soldiers were usually together, barely speaking a word to Seras even though she tried to befriend them. Only Captain Dara Hudson was nice to her, but she already had her circle of friends. With Alucard there was a master/fledgling relationship and sometimes the vampire would torment her. And trying to have 'girl talk' with Integra was difficult because the knight thought that talking about which soldiers in the barracks was hunky as a huge waste of time and voice box usage. Also, Seras saw Integra in a maternal way, maybe she wouldn't give her hugs, but she will keep Alucard off her back and had good advice.
However, Sam was just right. She liked to do things that normal young women liked doing. She was into the same things that Seras was into and most of all, Sam made Seras feel normal. Around everyone else, Seras was aware of what she was: someone's fledgling, another's servant, a vampire. With Sam, all of that disappeared, she was just an ordinary 419 year-old girl. Seeing Seras happy and bubbly was quiet refreshing to Integra, and she smiled as the draculina skipped out of her office.
