“I wouldn’t mind waking up next to you for the rest of my life,” Sylar said, voice raw and unguarded.
Peter blinked, lifting his eyes from where he’d been watching his hand idly stroke Sylar’s forearm. They’d both woke a few minutes before, but neither was in any hurry to leave the bed. Peter looked at the other man, considering what it might be like to be able to rely on someone to be at his side for that long. What devotion that took, and Peter didn’t doubt for a second that Sylar meant it as completely as it sounded.
“I’d like that,” Peter whispered in reply, chest tightening as he realized how much what Sylar had said sounded like a proposal and how much his answer, like acceptance. Sylar obviously heard it the same. Eyes watering, Peter scooted over and drew the man to him. The happy embrace seemed to go on forever.
