Augh, poor Sylar. This is so believable, too- I can really imagine this going through his brain. The man's been fucked with so awfully by so many people. It's difficult to trust someone after all that.

[game_byrd]

Yeah. Much as he wants to let Peter be in the driver's seat for things, Sylar is really apprehensive about letting someone else drive. Right now, he just can't let go, even though he *wants* to let go.

I'll stop spamming your story, by the way, game_byrd, ha ha. No more irrelevant comments.

[game_byrd]

I have yet to have a problem with comments, irrelevant or not. Spam away!

Oh I am so happy to be getting Sylar's POV.

Oh, dear, he is being paranoid. This doesn't look good. I was wondering how you got from A to B and here it comes.

Peter slowly rolled his head to one side, exposing the length of his neck to Sylar without a shred of fear. Suspicion coiled in Sylar's gut and gooseflesh marched across his skin. Why would Peter do this? How could Peter do this? How could he put aside everything that had ever happened between them and be so fearless as to be with Sylar this way? The whole seduction flashed through Sylar's mind...Sylar gave Peter what he was asking for and cooperatively kissed up the man's neck an inch at a time, considering this was a Petrelli his lips were caressing - a family of betrayers and liars, kinslayers who were above nothing, manipulators of the highest order.

Okay, to be fair, Sylar does have a point here and that you give his paranoia such a realistic basis makes it all the more tragic.

Peter vocalized a faint whine as soon as their lips touched and kept it up the entire kiss

It's so strange that you missed all the build-up to those chapters you read!

Yes, Sylar sees himself as pretty low, wretched and unworthy. Particularly, any genuine kindness from Peter gets put under a microscope for ulterior motive and if he can't find any, that only means Peter must be playing a deeper game than Sylar thought.

Sylar comes to realize how wrong he (likely, possibly) was in a few days, but it takes that time before he starts to doubt himself. And think that even if Peter is playing some kind of game and it's all a ploy, then fuck it - Sylar wants to play anyway just so he can pretend that it's real. That's the really tragic part.

Wow. Sylar's emotional issues alone. o.O

Poor Peter.

*hurries off to find out what happens next*

[game_byrd]

Ah yes, the pinnacle of Sylar being an ass. On the good side, he gets better from here.
