Pairing: Sylar/Claire
Disclaimer: Nothing is mine.
Chapter 1 (?)
1. Claire wouldn’t have thought she would know that Gabriel preferries White Peach tea over Earl Gray when he was stressed, that he only meat he likes is chicken, that he can’t complete a tongue-twister to save his life, or that he absolutely cannot stand the smell of pumpkin pie.
2. There are nine freckles spread out across his skin.
3. Despite Virginia Gray’s near constant putdowns, emotionally manipulative behavior, and clearly unstable mental state, Gabriel had loved his mother more then anyone in the world.
4. Sylar, despite being so deeply buried within Gabriel, is by no means gone. At times she will see Sylar in the blazing, laser like quitatily of Gabriel’s eyes, the hardness and cunning of his smile, or the possessiveness of his voice and his hands upon her body. It’s not that Gabriel and Sylar are two separate personatlies, not exactly.
They are both intelligent, condsiderdite, protective, posses a fierce temper, are both anal retentive neat freaks, and seem obsessed with their hair at times. Both drink coffee only on Saturday mornings, each hate trains, country music, and sweater vests, and both love the smell of her hair.
There is one important difference however; Gabriel is struggling to maintain control over The Hunger. Nearly everyday is a agonizing, brutal, burning struggle to have more, take more, consume more, to learn more, and even centuries later there are times when Gabriel can barely keep himself from drowning.
Sylar on the other hand has completely subcomed to The Hunger. He has allowed that need to take/have/consume/devour/learn to coat nearly his entire being like thick, black oil until she would recognize almost no part of him.
Despite that one major difference between Sylar and Gabriel, there is one thing that is an unbreakable, concert solid constant for each of them. Both Gabriel and Sylar would give their lives for hers.
5. Claire finds how he has excelled tremendously within the fields of Neurosurgery and psychology to be a little ironic.
6. When Gabriel is concerting he will poke his tongue out of the corner of his mouth.
7. He hates the smell of strawberry shampoo, the sight of spiders, the feel of unwashed hair, the taste of caramel, and the sound of dogs barking.
8. Gabriel likes to hang crystals on the curtain rod of their bedroom window. He claims it’s because she likes them, but Claire knows the true reason is that Gabriel loves how the tiny rainbows dance across her skin.
9. Claire thinks how the concept of magic tricks are completely beyond the realm of his compression, despite over three centuries spent attempting to master them, to be hilarious.
10. For the first three years of knowing him, whenever she thought of Sylar’s eyes she saw greed, anger, hate, and a lust for power. When he was trying to redeem himself she witnessed within Gabriel’s eyes guilt, fear, self loathing, vurnabitily, and a pleading to be loved; to be enough. She never thought that she could look into the eyes of both Sylar and Gabriel and witness love, protectiveness, desire, friendship, and trust.
AN: In addition to this being my first time writing anything Heroes related, I’m also only up to the second season of the series, so forgive me if my characterization is completely off base.
Also, because my beta seems to have abandoned me, I am now requesting your help. Certain areas of my grammar and spelling are beyond crap, so could you please point out any errors? I’m also not completely happy with # 4, so if you could offer up any comments it would be greatly appreciated.
If you like this story I will write a second chapter focusing on 10 Big Things that Claire learns.
If, in fact, you would like a second chapter, what Big Things would you prefer to see?
