fic: Life's Not a Song
Title: Life's Not a Song
Characters/Pairing: Sylar/Elle
Rating: R to be on the safe side
Summary:01. Pick a character, pairing, or fandom you like.
02. Turn on your music player and put it on random/shuffle.
03. Write a drabble related to each song that plays. You only have the time frame of the song to finish the drabble; you start when the song starts, and stop when it's over. No lingering afterwards!
04. Do ten of these, then post them.
A/N: That music shuffle meme everyone's been doing. There might be bouts of OOC for both characters occurring with some of the songs/drabbles. And this is the hardest writing thing I've ever done, good grief. Oh, title's from a line in one of the songs from Once More with Feeling (BtVS). :D
I. Kanye West - Stronger
N- n- now th- that don't kill me
Can only make me stronger
Elle's electrical outburst rips through you, making you feel pain like you've never felt before. Your world is covered in bright blue light that makes your eyes hurt and then you feel darkness creeping up in your vision. Your body goes limp and your world is black.
You wake up, lying on your back and secured to a table. A tube is pumping something into your nose and you just know it's Primatech's concoction to stifle your abilities. Angela Petrelli is talking to you but you don't pay much attention. All you care about is how you would have been killed by Elle's electrical eruption but thanks to Claire's power now securely imprinted in your brain, you're alive. You're stronger than ever and nothing can stop you now.
II. Switchfoot - Learning to Breathe
So this is the way
that I say that I need you
This is the way
That I say I love you
This is the way
That I say I'm yours
He takes the watch off his wrist. The watch that's been a part of him ever since he started calling himself Sylar. The analog watch with the broken face that eternally reads 11:53. But he's letting go of it for her. The one girl who has truly captured his heart and for better or worse, he's hers. And to be hers, he needs to fix himself first so he won't be so much of a monster anymore.
When Elle wakes up on the beach, she finds that he is gone but on the sand next to her is his watch.
III. Lady Gaga - Poker Face
I wanna roll with him a hard pair we will be
A little gambling is fun when you're with me (I love it)
Russian Roulette is not the same without a gun
And baby when it's love if it's not rough it isn't fun, fun
Her long nails dig into his bare back and leave scratchmarks as he thrusts into her. He utters a low growl at the sensation and grabs her arms to pin them against the bed, hands at the sides of her head. He continues to hold them there and sparks of electricity shoot out from her palms and hit his skin as her orgasm comes over her. Her orgasm makes her tighten around him, causing him to moan as he comes.
His flesh heals quickly from the scorch marks as do the bruises on his lips from where she bit him. "Is that all you've got?" he asks teasingly.
Elle smirks. "Baby, you haven't even begun to see me play rough."
IV. Merril Bainbridge - Mouth
Would it be my fault if I could turn you on?
Would I be so bad if I could turn you on?
She walks by the cell Sylar was being held captive in. He's lying on his back and chained to a table, staring blankly off into space. Elle taps on the window and his eyes snap to her. His mouth curl into a leering grin. "Elle."
Elle punches in a few numbers and stepped into the room. She struts towards him, heels clicking on the cement floor. "Gabriel...or is it Sylar now?" She stops at his feet, bending over so he could get a good look of her cleavage. "Nice to see you again." She grins.
"Go away." He growls, his eyes full of hatred and his arms struggling against his restraints.
"Oh, you want to play that game, do you?" Elle walks around the table, her hands lightly touching him and sending small shocks that make him flinch ever so slightly. She studies him. He was cute as Gabriel but now, he exudes a dark and dangerous sexiness that she likes. She grins sadistically as she fists his hair and lifts his head up off the table. She brings her face down so they're nose to nose practically. "I'm better at game playing. But you knew that didn't you?"
She presses her lips against his and he tries to resist her. But then he kisses her back with a fervor that excites her and a small bolt of electricity escapes from her lips. She pulls away with a giggle. "Ooh, liked that did you? I think I turn you on." Elle tosses her hair over her shoulder and smirks at him. "And it kills you because you know it's true."
V. Guster - Demons
When I speak I cross my fingers
Will you know you've been deceived?
"But you are special, Gabriel. Special just the way you are." Elle hopes her voice doesn't betray her nerves. Her smile is light and easy, her touch is warm and comforting, but her words are laced with deceit. "Oh shoot, look at the time! I've really got to get going." She stands up, brushing crumbs off her pants.
"Will I get to see you again?" Gabriel asks shyly.
Elle smiles at him. "I hope so. I can make things other than pie."
"How about dinner tomorrow night?"
"Sounds good to me. I'll make a ziti that will knock your socks off." Elle hugs him goodbye and leaves the apartment to meet Noah. With a last look at the door, she whispers. "I'm sorry."
VI. Marcy Playground - Sex and Candy
I smell sex and candy here
Who's that lounging in my chair
Who's that casting devious stares
In my direction
Mama, this surely is a dream
He's wearing his trademark black jacket, black shirt, and black pants. His hair is perfectly spiked. His eyes glance around the bar, flickering from person to person. The crowd bores him until he sees her.
This blonde goddess sitting in a chair across from him, sending him provocative looks. It's not the looks she's shooting at him that stir him, it's who she looks like. But it couldn't be her, could it? He had killed her on that beach back in Costa Verde. But this girl right here...was it really Elle or a fantastic doppelganger? Or was this a dream?
She stands up and walks over to him, her hips swaying seductively. "Hello Gabriel. Miss me?" Reaching up, she grabs his head and pulls it down to meet hers in a fierce kiss, riddled with electricity. Elle pushes him away suddenly, electricity shooting from her palms and into his chest. The pain is real as a murderous sneer comes over her face.
It's definitely not a dream.
VII. Maroon 5 - Kiwi
I wanna give you something better
Than anything you've ever had
A stronger and a faster lover
The world, it disappears so fast
Gabriel tosses her onto the bed, loving the little laugh she makes as she lands and bounces. He climbs onto the bed and subsequently, slowly climbing over her. He stops intermittently and leaves light feathery kisses all over her body, making her shiver in excitement and anticipation.
Elle loves the way he makes her feel. Loves how he teases her with his kisses, loves how he knows what spots to hit on her body, and loves how he knows just what to do to make her scream his name during a toe curling orgasm. He's so much better than anyone she's been with before.
VIII. Beach Boys - In My Room
Theres a world where I can go and tell my secrets to
In my room, in my room
Elle's hands shake as she presses the numbers on the keypad to her room. It takes her a few tries but she finally gets the code right and enters. She runs into the bathroom and slams the door shut. She curls up on the floor, back against the cabinet underneath the sink. Her knees are drawn up to her chest and tears run down her cheeks. It's the only part of her room that doesn't have a camera installed. It's her only safehaven within the cold miserable place.
IX. Incubus - Wish You Were Here
Maybe I should hold with care
But my hands are busy in the air saying:
I wish you were here
Sylar finally finds all the answers he's been looking for. It's a brief feeling of happiness that washes over him. But that disappears when he remembers that there's one thing that could complete him. And she's not here anymore.
X. JC Chasez - I'm Not Sleeping Alone
I'm sleeping with the memory
I'm sleeping with regret
I'm sleeping with the fantasy
That I can't let go of yet
There isn't a night that doesn't go by without him waking up in a cold sweat. Dreams of Elle grinning evilly at him, beckoning him with a finger, and all while on fire. He always looks around the room and confirmation that it's a dream lies there in the form of Luke, sleeping in a bed a few feet away from his in a dingy motel room.
This is his life now, being annoyed by a 16 year old boy on a road trip to find his father and get some answers. As he lies awake, his thoughts go back to the night on the beach. He regrets his actions and knows now that he shouldn't have killed her. Shouldn't have cut her head, shouldn't have set her body ablaze.
But he can't take it back now. So he'll have to live with the memory of her.
