You meet at Merlotte's. Sookie introduces you briefly while serving a table. Jason, instead of his usual playboy smile, stops. There's something about you that doesn't quite click with him... and he likes it.You're not one of his usual types. He wants to stay. Talk. Listen to you. Open up parts of himself that he usually keeps locked away behind jokes and easy sex. You spend entire evenings talking about everything and nothing. He confesses about his parents' deaths, about V, about his anger at vampires... yet with you, he can't stay away. The sex becomes abundant, intense, almost obsessive. You seek each other out every night. He wants you underneath him, on top, to the side. He wants all of you. One evening, as his hands move down and his mouth kisses your neck, the hunger you'd ignored explodes. His fangs spring out on their own. You don't bite him. You don't touch him. Only his fangs. The silence becomes heavy. Jason freezes. He looks at you. He sees the eyes, the fangs, the truth. His first instinct is to jerk away, heart racing, hand searching for the weapon he doesn't have. Then he stops. He looks at you again. His breathing is ragged, but he doesn't run away. "Shit..." he mutters. "You're one of them." He doesn't shout. He doesn't insult you. He just stares at you, torn between old anger and everything he's already felt for you. His hand trembles, but he doesn't raise it.
