A request oneshot for Queen Hobbit22.

Don't own Sabrina the Teenage Witch or characters at all. Just the plot.

Because of Her

Summary: After learning he's granted to be a human again, Salem is shock to learn it's for his good behavior all because of her. The one he find he loves from a distance but she mostly sees as a friend and guardian figure. Only for Sabrina Spellman he wants to remain in the light to have her smile.

Snoring softly on the chair, Salem purrs with contentment of a full stomach of food and the familiar warmth radiating from the eighteen year old half witch in his care. His nose twitch. He sense someone has intrude on his witchling's room. He stirs awake opening green eyes ready to protect only to find Zelda and Hilda Spellman.

He stretches a bit before sitting down asking in a peeve tone, "What do you want?"

"We have some news for you Salem," Zelda explains seeing the black cat's temper about to rise and the protective stance hidden behind the laid back attitude he's giving off.

"Hm?" He hums licking his paw.

"The counsel decides to let you turn back into a human!" Hilum said happily forgetting for a second that her niece is still sleeping and moans softly at the sudden sound making Salem to glance over than turn to the bubbly blond.

"Quiet you fool," He hisses frowning while taking in the words.

'I'm being let go early? Why?' He wonders since it's rare when the council decides to be generous. Unknown to him since lost in thought while Zelda and Hilda see how his eyes and posture seems to soften and relax as he watches Sabrina sleep ready to intervene to help her drift back before waking up early. The two Spellmans share a look and smile softly. Even if Salem isn't ready to admit it out loud of his feelings for Sabrina.

"They decide to do it because they see how you change and its all thanks to Sabrina helping you." Zelda informs motioning for her sister to pop out of their niece's room before leaving herself.

Salem turns to look at the spot the two women where with slack jaw and wide eyes. He's about to say something when a sudden heat spread through him. Where a black cat been sitting in its place is a tall slim figure man with long raven hair and green eyes stare at pale flesh of his human hands.

"I'm normal," The man whispers noting his voice is normal and a bit of rasp to it from being a cat for so long. "Is it really because of her?"

He feels the corner of his lips while running a hand through his black hair slicking it back. His green eyes soften even more watching the lovely woman sleep. He knows Sabrina consider him as a friend and guardian. He tries to fight his feelings for the young blonde woman. He never realizes how things change from the moment she first walk through the doors to the house. Walking to the bed brushing her bangs aside Salem places a kiss on her forehead murmuring, "Continue being my light Sabrina."

Before leaving the room to give her privacy and think what the next course of action now is he require his body back. Things are going to be the same yet different. He knows he should admit to himself of his feelings but with her being so young and her spirited soul should have the time to grow and learn of her world around her. One day he may tell her. Until then he will wait and continue watching her smile that brightens his day.
