I can't believe it's almost my birthday again. Nineteen isn't all that exciting once you've hit eighteen, and you still have a couple of years to go before you can legally drink. I'm not sure what I'll be doing this year, but if I end up having a get together, I'll be sure to put up an invitation for my friends.

What do you want for your birthday?

[catalytics]

Is a happy ending too much to ask for?

[intuitivelyapt]

Yes. I was hoping for something tangible.

[catalytics]

There are tangible things that go along with happy endings. Not that I'm suggesting you get a ring or anything.

[intuitivelyapt]

...

You want to be engaged?

[catalytics]

... I said I wasn't suggesting that you get a ring!

[intuitivelyapt]

That just means you are!

[catalytics]

So?

[intuitivelyapt]

... You'd want to?

[catalytics]

We've been together a long time here. Even if we aren't actually together right now, I was just saying, you never know what will happen in the future. Right? Right.

[intuitivelyapt]

You'd want to be engaged to me. And... and married.

[catalytics]

Why do you keep asking that? You remember that future we both saw and experienced, don't you? I wouldn't ever say no to being able to have that.

[intuitivelyapt]

You could say no because it's me.

[catalytics]

And yet I'm letting you stay in my apartment, and I brought you to the New Year's party with me. I think I got over the fact that you're you a long time ago, otherwise we never would have had sex in the first place.

[intuitivelyapt]

You could change your mind. Nothing is permanent.

[catalytics]

Except for the fact that we'll probably still be standing long after everyone else around has died.

I thought that was what you wanted me to feel and think. Did I actually find a topic that scares you, Sylar?
