prompt set 38.5 [random]
“We need a song.” Claire decided suddenly, and a little bit randomly, as she tilted her head back from its resting place so that she could look at the man she was leaning against.
It took Sylar a moment to respond as he gathered up the energy to turn his head so that he could look at her with a quizzical frown. “A what?”
“A song.” She responded casually, like it didn’t bother her to see just how exhausted he was at the moment. It didn’t make sense to her that he wasn’t feeling better yet. His ability combined with the one he had taken from her meant that he should have rebounded by now but he hadn’t. For some reason, he was still drained though. Always tired, always moody (though that wasn’t a change) and always somewhere else.
She needed him back with her.
“What kind of song?” He didn’t immediately shoot down her idea. Instead, it seemed he was content in amusing her. Or maybe he was just too tired to deal with the possible argument that would have happened if he didn’t.
“I don’t know.” She rolled her shoulders in a shrugging motion as she started to sort through the playlist that she had stored in her head, picking through her favorite songs and other ones that she knew even if she didn’t listen to them all the time. “We could just pick whatever comes on the radio next?” She offered with a small smile.
Sylar mimicked her earlier motion by shrugging before flicking his fingers at the radio, turning the dial with the power of his mind, so that music started to fill the air. She was glad they didn’t choose the song that was playing because she didn’t think the Spice Girls were really all the suiting to them.
When the next song came on, she tilted her head quietly as she listened. At first, as the song talked about true love being suicide, she wasn’t so sure but, as it continued, she started to smile a little. When she glanced at Sylar, he didn’t look so certain.
“It’s perfect.” She decided when the song was done.
“It’s depressing.” He looked at her like she had lost her mind somehow.
“It’s also kind of sweet.” She pointed out.
He shot her a doubting look but then he finally consented with a nod. “True.”
Because he didn’t seem to really agree with her, she sighed as she sat up a bit straighter. “Well, what song would you suggest then?”
“What about ‘Every Breath You Take’? It’s a perfectly stalkerish song.” Peter offered from the front seat. Of course it didn’t surprise anyone when he got an invisible smack upside the head. “Hey, no hitting the driver.” He chuckled softly.
“Then no front seat DJing.” Claire huffed a bit, somewhat amused. Then she looked back at Sylar, arching a brow at him. “Well?”
“I don’t know.” He finally shook his head.
“Exactly. It’s a great song, and it’s not like an overly sweet romantic song would fit us.” She explained before shooting a glare at the front seat when a little snort of laughter followed her statement.
Sylar looked dimly amused as he slid his arm around her, tugging her back against his side. “True again.”
“So, you agree? That could be our song?” She asked with a hopeful look, reaching to take his hand as she pressed their palms together.
“Sure, for now.”
“For now?”
“We’re going to live forever, Claire.” He reminded her, tilting his head back to rest against the backseat where they were currently slouched and cuddling. “We’re going to have a lot of songs.”
The idea of having a lot of songs with Sylar brought a goofy little smile to Claire’s mouth as she dropped her head back to his shoulder, still holding his hand. “Somehow, I could live with that.”
