This is what I imagined to be Eric's reaction at seeing the sun for the first time in centuries.
I edited the first version of this one after realizing that the way I wrote it was terrible.
Gap-filler in the episode "Fresh Blood" (Season 3) when he steps out of Fangtasia after drinking Sookie's blood.
Nothing belongs to me as usual.
Day
Cautiously, he extended his hand into the daylight. He waited for the burning sensation to come, but it didn't. Instead he felt pleasantly warm, the sun rays making the pale alabaster flesh glow with a radiance he hadn't seen on his skin since he was a human.
After a thousand years of night, he'd already forgotten what it was like to walk in the sun. How the light seemed bathe everything in its golden rays. How the warmth settled deep into your skin and made you feel alive. How glorious the contrast the distant ball of light made with the cloud streaked azure skies.
Though vampires were superior to humans in every way possible, Eric could now understand why this was the one human experience they coveted and perhaps, missed.
Even if he'd wanted to, he knew he didn't have time to enjoy this blood-given luxury.
He had a job to do.
