24 Signs Bill and Sookie Would Always End Up Together

When Bill walks into Merlotte's and Sookie sees him — before any saving, blood drinking, trickery, or anything — there's just this.

She doesn't discover she's fae for a while and doesn't associate with any other supernaturals (that she knows of) until Bill.

Whatever his motives prove to be later, Bill is gentle and sweet with the innocent Sookie.

OK, so we'd find out later that Bill set up this attack so that Sookie would have to drink his blood and form a bond with him, but it's clear that Bill is genuinely falling for her already.

Bill also makes a huge sacrifice when he kills a vampire, Longshadow, who is threatening Sookie; this sets off a series of events that lead to Bill turning Jessica.

It's meant as a vampire thing, but we know it's also totally a human thing of being into each other.

It's love.

The passion of these two pushes boundaries; it's tender and rough at the same time (and occasionally, blood is drawn).

After Bill and Sookie first sleep together, she confesses that her Uncle Bartlett had molested her as a child. Angered, Bill murders him for Sookie's sake.

Remember how cute they were?!

When does anyone on this show have a moment like this anymore?

Too bad Sookie doesn't get to say yes, because Bill gets kidnapped right after he asks. But still! It's a rare act of conventional romance.

Sorry for using the term "make love," but think about it; this is pretty much the only couple on this show that's had this much committed-relationship sex.

Remember Lorena? Bill and Sookie's big breakup in season three comes when Lorena is relentlessly trying to kill Sookie. Sookie agrees to the breakup when Bill nearly kills her by draining her blood shortly thereafter.

They find their way back together then, the way they've found their way back to each other now.

When Sookie finds Bill's file on her family, that he knew she was faerie, and he staged the Rattray attack. It's a lot.

This is why he goes after Queen Sophie-Anne and tries to kill her; he had vowed to kill anyone who knows Sookie is a faerie.

You know what they say; there's a thin line between love and hate.

Even though they spend quite a bit of time apart, they never really move on in other relationships.

When he does see other people, like Portia, it's only for sex. Remember how he tells her honestly, "I could never love you"?

These two are scorching hot together, but when Eric and Sookie do get together, it's when Eric is basically brainwashed. He's not the real Eric, and it's not a real relationship, either.

Sookie tries earnestly to have a normal life with Alcide, and after he dies, what she says is right; he loved her more than she loved him.

Like when they drink each others' blood . . . even though it leads to Bill contracting Hep V.

Well, if he gets his hands on that pesky cure.
