A/N: This will be the last True Blood crossover. Unless someone requests more of it on Tumblr.
jane/eric northman - goodbyes
When Jane brought Thor back from Asgard, Eric knew that their friendship was over. Jane's life had been about bringing Thor back. She had been trying to bring him back for two years and now she finally did it. She's only known Eric for a few months and he didn't even know if they were truly friends. Eric didn't really have friends—he had Pam, but she was his child and he loved her above all else. He couldn't say that he loved Jane. He liked her, he admired her.
So, when Thor returned to earth, Eric decided it was time to return to Louisiana. He had only been in New Mexico helping their Sheriff with a vampire problem, which had eventually become so bad that it became S.H.E.I.L.D.'s problem as well. The 'business' had been finished months ago, but he stayed because he was intrigued with the human astrophysicist who was so determined to bring her god down from the heavens.
He didn't plan on telling Jane that he was leaving, he didn't think it necessary. He didn't owe the woman anything, but he ended up bumping into her when leaving.
"Hey, Eric!" She greeted him cheerily and he honestly tried not smiling. She was just so happy, he's never seen her this happy before. "Where are you going? I thought we could all go out tonight since we brought Thor back."
He loved that she included him in the process of bringing Thor back. He certainly did nothing to help bring the thunder god back to earth—he was there for his own selfish needs. Jane certainly amused him and he blamed that fact on why he stayed in this wasteland for so long. "I cannot join you." Eric told her firmly and she replied with an 'oh'. "I'm returning to Louisiana tonight."
Jane seemed taken aback by this information. She should have known though. He couldn't stick around forever. He had responsibilities back at his home. Eric was shocked when she jumped up, wrapped her arms around his neck, and hugged him tight. "I'll miss you." She said voice raw with tears because she knew he wasn't coming back.
Eric's arms wrapped around her waist and he hugged her back. He thought, what the hell? No one was around and he most likely was never going to see this woman again, might as well have a heartfelt goodbye. "I will miss you too, star-girl."
