"accidental" video post; sleeping with the enemy virus

[intuitivelyapt]

[ When the video cuts in, it’s Claire sitting on a bed that’s really obviously not her room. For those who live in or have visited Casa de Serial Killer, it’s recognizably Sylar’s. It’s around the time of Adam and Peter’s wedding, and where is she instead? Here. In a baggy t-shirt and boy shorts

action because i decided she's still there

[ After Claire sees the post, she goes ... door-kicking. Except she's too tiny to actually kick a door open so she settles on throwing it open. ]

What is wrong with you?

LMAO AND DEFINITELY NOT SOMETHING THAT CAN BE PRIVATED

[autophoenix]

No. You let yourself believe that I do.

SHUT UP

[intuitivelyapt]

If you hated it so much you would just leave.

[autophoenix]

Maybe I will. Maybe I'd love to. [ She doesn't budge, though, despite the loathing look she's giving him. After the look that Peter gave her, she's pretty sure she doesn't have anywhere else to go. ]

[intuitivelyapt]

[He walks closer to her and tries to hold her. Again.] You'd maybe do a lot of things. But you're not.

[autophoenix]

[ At first, she just looks resigned to it, shutting her eyes and turning her face away. Then finally, she lifts her arms as a kind of distance-getter and she tugs away some, stepping back. ] Don't.

[intuitivelyapt]

Don't what? Don't care about you?

[autophoenix]

I don't know. [ She just drops her hands to her sides, shaking her head and looking conflicted for a long moment. She tries to work past it and she just winds up shaking her head and turning to pace a little. ] Yeah, maybe. That, and ... touching me and talking and -- and all of the things that make it so that I don't know whether I want to kill you or kiss you.

[intuitivelyapt]

You're telling me I might as well not be alive. [He takes a few steps closer again.]

[autophoenix]

[ She pivots to go back to something familiar -- yelling in his face. ] Yeah, well I think it's kind of deserved. In case you didn't notice, you just outed this ... whatever it is to very nearly everyone I care about in one fell swoop. Are you gonna send the video to my dad's phone while you're at it? I'm sure he'd love that.

[intuitivelyapt]

Don't you think they deserve to know?!

[autophoenix]

No! I don't! I think the fewer people know about this, the better!

[intuitivelyapt]

Well, I want people to know! I want people to know that someone is capable of caring about me!

[autophoenix]

Well, then, I hope you're used to lying.

[intuitivelyapt]

I've been lied to my entire life.

[autophoenix]

Heard that one before. But it's great that you're carrying on that time-honored tradition and picking up the slack to lie to yourself now, too.
