fic: Thrice Jealous, Once Not
Title: Thrice Jealous, Once Not
Pairing: Sylar/Elle
Rating: PG-13 (language)
Warnings/Spoilers: If you've seen seasons 2 and 3, you're good.
Summary: Well, I think the title says it all, don't you? Just a collection of drabbles exploring Sylar and Elle's jealousy.
A/N: I kept starting and stopping this because I was unsure about it. But I think I'm finally somewhat okay with it. And I've been dying to use the word thrice because I'm a word nerd.
Maya
Elle knew that there were other girls before her. Even as dorky Gabriel Gray, he must have had at least one girlfriend. But they weren't special like her and they didn't understand like him like she did. Yet, there was one girl in his past that still made her burn with jealousy. Little blue sparks would erupt from her fingertips when she thought about it. Maya. That leggy exotic Dominican chick with a body that Elle wished she had and who had the power to kill people with her deadly black tears. Elle knew he had only kissed Maya to hide her brother Alejandro's dead body. But Elle still didn't like it.
But Elle had one up on Maya. Maya only knew Sylar, not Gabriel. And Gabriel had long ago fallen in love with Elle.
Peter
Sylar was envious of Peter. Not only did Peter have a family, albeit highly dysfunctional, to call his own, he had also kissed Elle first. Sylar didn't like it at all. He remembered the day Elle came to his small apartment, holding up a peach pie. The day he thought he could be Gabriel again. Sylar had wanted to kiss her that afternoon but he was too shy and in the end, his hunger to be special betrayed him. Elle was gone from his life but he never stopped thinking about her.
From what Elle had told him, Peter had played upon her little crush to manipulate her and so he could get himself out of Primatech. Sylar didn't like thinking that this golden boy had played Elle and he certainly didn't like him kissing her. His fists would clench whenever he thought about it. He'd gladly defenestrate Peter again for that.
Bennet Family
Elle and Gabriel envied Noah Bennet and his family. They wanted what the Bennets had. A home and a family without sacrificing who they really were. Elle envied Claire for not having grown up in the strongholds of the Company. Claire got to be a normal child, with doting parents, a caring brother, and even a family dog. All Elle had was her father, a cold hearted man, and an equally cold dingy cell of a room in Primatech. Gabriel envied Noah because he knew how to tow the lines between two worlds. A world in which he had a loving family to come home to and not being afraid to be morally gray when it came to protecting them.
Noah
Yet, when the world went to hell as a result of Nathan handing out abilities to anyone who'd pay, one family remained unaffected. Two parents that thought the world of their son and fiercely protected him from any outside harm. They were a family, content and happy, in a world that didn't know what happy was anymore. They had achieved what they wanted, a home and a family. Elle and Gabriel weren't the jealous ones now, they were the ones to be jealous of.
