Summary: Taken from a Myspace bulletin I received titled "Why do guys fall in love with girls?" This is reason #4.
4. How easily they fit into our arms.
Peter dropped his coat onto the floor and kicked off his shoes before glancing into the living room just in time to see Claire flop down face first onto the couch. He chuckled to himself. It had been one of those days. Nathan was being a pain in the ass (as usual) about his campaign, and wanted Claire to go away until the election was over. Go to Paris with her grandmother for a week, if not longer.
Peter couldn’t let her go. He needed her there, he needed her help. For better or worse, she was the only one he trusted. She was his other half, the person who was supposed to help him solve this mystery and save the world. He rubbed his eyes and sighed. Before any world saving could be accomplished, they both needed a shower and some food.
“Claire, are you as hungry as I am?” he called from the kitchen, searching the cabinets. He didn’t think they could get much barer, but anything was possible. After a moment more of searching he realized she hadn’t answered. “Claire?” he called again. Still nothing.
Peter panicked. Rushing though the apartment in search of his niece he finally found her in the bathroom, door slightly ajar and shower water running, sitting on the edge of the sink with her feet on the toilet. “Jeez, Claire, you scared me. What’re you doing in here?”
Claire brushed the tears back from her face quickly. “Nothing. I’m sorry. I came in here so I wouldn’t worry you. Everything’s just really messed up right now.”
“I know.” Claire stood up suddenly, slipping her arms around Peter’s middle and easily fitting into a warm embrace, cuddling her face into his chest. It was as if Claire Bennet had been made to belong in his arms.
Peter wasn’t sure about her, but he certainly felt a whole lot better.
