Note: I am very proud of this chapter lol, Sylar is a tough cookie to write because so many people [myself] included had a prefrence to how he acts and I was worried but I did my best to think of how he would react to a situation like I put him in and while he may not be as quick and witty as the one from TV i'm quite proud of my version as for the smut [yes it finally happened] I've only written it a couple times and I always find it..troublesome What is in my head dont always come out in the right way when typing so...um reviews would be very much loved as well like I said this chapter is important to me in a sense..so um review please?

Please excuse any typos I don't have a beta

And much love to my first review ^-^ it is was pushed me to write such a long chapter

She sat with her hands folded in her lap staring forward out of the window, she'd lapsed into a silence after he'd finally told her his real name and he was still trying to process why exactly he had done that. The rambling had been annoying but it wasn't anything that would promp him to tell him first name. Why she sat there he allowed himself to look her over. Her hair was dark but he couldn't tell how long it was with it pulled back in the ponytail, her eyes were large and inoccent and the color was more purple then blue, she was far from beautiful but she was cute and he noted that her chin was quivering.

"The crying didn't bother me"

"I didn't stop for you" Ah, the fight hadn't left her yet. She'd be right though it was odd that he hadn't killed her the other night, her power would be useful to him but something about how broken she was had stopped him. Tonight however he would correct the mistake of leaving her alive. "So don't think that"

His lip twitched as he fought the smile, she was spunky and he was willing to bet she was going to break down into tears in a few minuets her voice didnt sould to strong. When the car came to a stop outside an apartment building she leaned forward to peer out of the window before letting out a sigh as she looked at him

"Pointless to scream?"

"Very."

"Thought I would at least ask." She seemed defeated, which contradicted his earyler thought that she'd still had some fight left in her perhaps he'd been wrong about her. Sliding out of the car, he waited on his side, as she got out as well and slowly walked around to stand next to him. Most people would have still tried to run away and when he looked down at her she seemed to understand what he was thinking. "I figured if screaming was pointless running wouldn't do me much good either."

"Smart girl."

"Dead girl."

He smirked at her and she just dropped her head, clearly she was done fighting with him. Taking her by the elbow he lead her intto the apartment and up to what was serving as his home after tonight however he knew he'd need to find a new one. He felt the tension in her body and as he let go of her and turned to close the door he could feel her relax. When he turned to look at her again she'd wandered over to the hearth and was trailing her finger along a photo.

"This isn't you."

"No it isn't"

"Why did you bring me here? You could have killed me in the parking lot."

"I know."

"You also don't talk much."

"You talk enough for both of us." He was suprised to see the blush spread across her cheeks not quite looking at him she glanced around the living room before her gaze settled over his shoulder

"Why did you bring me here?"

"You amuse me."

"Oh."

"Are you going to rape me?" He just stared at her and was fascinated as she rushed to not offend him. "I didn't mean to imply..I mean, it's really a perfectly acceptable question you know."

"You're very odd."

"Says the man who drives without use of his hands or legs. I didn't make the connection right away when Matt said you're name but you're that Sylar arn't you?" She looked annoyed when he didn't respond "Well?"

"I am."

"If you don't mind me asking Gabriel-"

"Sylar."

"Gabriel, why the path of a serial killer?" He felt a muscle in his jaw tick, he shouldn't have told her his name he didn't like being called it. He took a step towards her and watched as she quickly took a step backwards to keep distance between them. But it was the look in her inoccent eyes as they widened that caught his attention as he crooked a finger and she slowly started to move towards him. "I knew it..." Soon enough she was toe to toe with him and she had to crane her head back to see him in the face "You're tall"

"Rather I think it's that you're short."

"Could be, you never said why"

"Are you hoping if you keep me talking I wont kill you?"

"A little...is it working?"

She looked so hopeful "No." He heard a sniffle as she nodded her head.

"You're the reason Matt is in the hospital arn't you?" He watched her nose scrunch when he once again didn't respond "Fine be rude, I don't care. But you should know my 'power' is only going to cause you problems. If it wasn't for the whole death thing you'd be doing me a favor."

That perked his interest "Would I?"

"It hurts me"

"Here?" He lifted his hand and placed a finger on her temple watching as she clutched her eyes closed. When she finally realised he wasn't going to do it yet she cracked an eye open and peeked at him

"Yes." She shivered as his hand shifted from the side of her head to the back where the ponytail was, he felt like another person as he watched his hand pull it out and her hair fell free around her shoulders. Those expresive eyes of hers looked confused and to be honest he was a little confused himself.

"I'd be able to fix it."

"O..Oh." She seemed short of breath as his fingers tangled into her hair "Gabriel?"

"Sylar."

"Whatever..what are you doing?" That was a good question, he was supposed to be killing her. "Is it going to hurt?"

"Most likely"

"Figured as much, just thought I would check." She yelped as he suddenly yanked her head back and once again her eyes slammed shut. He wouldn't tell her but he had already decided to put off killing her. She was a puzzle and he would figure her out before he did anything, there was something about her that tugged at him in a way he had long since died out. "Please make it fast"

"Why?"

"It would hurt less..I think." Her eyes opened again and he watched with odd detachment as a tear slid down her cheek, slowly he moved his hand back to the side of her face and slid his thumb over the tear smearing it across her cheek "I don't understand you..."

"What's to understand?"

"They said you're a killer, deranged, and violent but outside of a little force to get me to do what you want you havn't hurt me, why am I still alive?" He watched another tear fall, she was starting to lose control.

"Stop trying to be brave little one"

"Im not trying to be anything!"

"You keep talking as if you're not scared but your eyes give you away, I don't understand you either and I can't seem to figure out why I care."

"Gabr-" She cried out as her body flew backwards and slammed into the wall, sobbing quietly as she slid down it

"My name is Sylar"

"I'm sorry..so sorry" She wouldn't look at him only curled into herself as he moved closer to her. Kneeling down infront of her he grabbed her chin with his fingers and forced her to look him in the face "Please, I'm sorry...please"

"Please what?"

"Just do it already....." She was crying openly now, the tears streaming down her cheeks, for some reason her being this broken bothered him

"No."

"No?"

"So the cop is still alive? I assume he's still at the hospital with the little g-"

"NO" The air went out of him as she slammed her body into his. Her sudden violent reaction to him knocked him off balance and he tumbled backwards thinking quickly he stopped himself just seconds before hitting the group and looked up as she was sprawled across his chest his t-shirt clutched in her fingers as she pushed herself up to glare down at him "You leave them alone." She released his shirt to land a pathetic hit on his chest, having enough of this he easily rolled them so that she was beneith him and as she blinked up in suprise the angry haze leaving her gaze he pinned her arms above her head using his other hand to brace himself above her. He had both knees between her legs so that she wouldn't try anything stupid and then just watched her. She'd calmed down but she was still angry "You don't go near them"

"Are you going to stop me Azure?"

"Yes." His lip quirked into a grin and she started to trash under him but her gaze never left his face "Yes Gabriel I will" She winced as his grip on her wrist tightned but she didn't back down "Gabirel Gabriel Gabriel Gapmh" He cut her off by slamming his mouth down on hers her startled gasp opened her mouth and he slid his tounge in to claim it. As soon as he she arched her hips and their bodys locked together in all the places that they should. He felt himself slowly start to press down against her. Her moan finally snapping him out of it and he tore his mouth away from hers, the two of them just stared at eachother before she started to wiggle under him again "Get off me..."

"I don't..I" But he didn't have any idea what to say, he hadn't done anything like that in a long time. He really did need to kill her she was far more trouble then she was worth, when his words failed him a strage look crossed her face but he watched as she quickly shook it off and again tried to get him off. "You're wiggling it making it worse"

"I don't know what you're talk...oh" She broke off as she'd lifted her hips and come into contact with his erection, a blush spread across her cheeks and she quickly stopped moving laying flat on the ground below him "What was that?"

"You honestly don't know?"

"I didn't mena that" The blush got darker "I meant what happened between us..you kissed me." Yes he did and she had kissed back, he slowly let go of her hands which she quickly tried to move giving him a glare as she realised he still held them in place. He should have just rolled off of her and ended this but he didn't want to, she did confuse him but she'd also brought out feelings he'd thought gone and he didn't plan to ignore them, he really did not plan to deal with his present condition on his own either. She had started it and she could finish it. Instead of responding to her question he slid his hand down her side and over her stomach stoping at the edge of her shirt "Oh I knew it you are going to rape me"

He laughed finally, not because he was that deranged but because she'd sounded more annoyed then upset. "I highly doubt you'll resist, which means it's not rape" Her response turned into a soft moan as his hand moved higher under her shirt tracing under the curve of her breast. In silence he sat back on his knees before grabbing her shirt and pulling it up and over her head not wasting anytime he moved his fingers to her pants and unsapped them before shoving those down her hips and tossing them behind him

"I should hate you." She'd blurted it out and it haulted his movements

"But you don't?"

"Not really. You've hurt me, my friends, hell you plan to kill me but I can't find it in myself to hate you."

"Why not?" He was horrfied to know he really was curious

"You listen, you may not always respond but I know you hear me which is an odd notion and an even odder thing to endear you to me but..it is what it is just promise me something Ga..Sylar"

"Promise you something?"

"Please"

"As odd as I may seem, I have to tell you requesting promises as I strip you naked is weird to even me." She didn't even crack a smile "What."

"Don't hurt them after you know..you kill me" It was the simplest of things and in no way should have made him angry but it did and his temper snapped

"STOP SAYING IT" Her eyes went huge and her body trembled "STOP TALKING ABOUT THEM" His anger was so not warented in a situation like this but he couldn't seem to stop himself. he was annoyed that the last thing she would ask for was to protect the damn cop, annoyed that she still hadn't figured out he wouldn't, couldn't kill her. Mad at himself for not being able to and so much more. "If I was going to kill you I would have already fucking done it and if I want to kill them I fucking will"

"Gabriel"

"My fucking name is Sylar"

She cried out as his hands went around her neck, he watched her try and move her hands and finally released them wanting to watch as she tried to pry his hands from around her neck so that she could breath again only she didn't instead her hands went to his face, ranked threw his hair and he could barely hear her whispered words

"I didn't mean...to upset you...don't be mad...I'm sorry" She repeated them over and over again as her hands framed his face "forgive me" He was so started his hands relased her neck and he pushed off of her it was to much like his mother and he scrambled backwards to get away from her he tried to hard to block that memory away to erase it and the feelings it had brought but he'd failed to do so. He expected her to collect her clothes and run for it but she didn't. It took her a moment but she followed him wrapping her arms around his neck and pressing herself to his side holding him close "I'm so sorry Sylar" She kept saying it into his ear over and over again. He truly didn't understand her he'd just strangled her and rather then flee for her life she was trying to comfort him.

"What..are you doing?" He sounded broken even to himself

"I didn't know it would upset you, I wasn't trying to do that" She was still pressed against him, he could feel her breasts against his arm everytime she took a breath and felt the shaft of heat that split his body

"You shouldn't care."

"I know, but you looked so upset, so horribly offended that I hurt for you." He heard a sniffle and realised she was crying. Slowly he turned his head to look at her and found himself face to face infact their mouths were almost touching but this time it was her who moved first slowly she reached out for his hand and he watched in silence as she pressed it to her chest

"I'm a killer"

"I know."

"This wont stop me"

"I didn't think it would."

"Then why?"

"I didn't mean to hurt you."

"So it's a pity fuck" She flinched, her lip trembling as she shook her head no "Then what is it Azure."

"You there's just something about you...so much anger and pain and confusion. I should run far away and never look back but I feel pulled to you it's like..I don't know a think it sounds cliche but it just..I'm drawn to."

"To the darkside? This isn't a movie, Your 'love' isn't going to heal me"

"I'm not stupid, but I know you feel it to damn it." Yes he did but he wasn't about to admit to it. "Don't you dare go silent on me now I'll use the name again"

"No you won't"

"Then admit it!"

"There's nothing to admit, it was sex nothing more" She smacked him and then smacked him again on the third try he dumped her backwards and laid his body ontop of hers like before but she was in a fit and that wasn't about to stop her

"You stupid son of a bitch" She tried to knee him again and he gripped her leg tightly drawing it over his hip haulting the movement and then she suprised the hell out of him by wrapping her other leg around his waist and yanking down so that his crotch pressed against the center of her legs

"The hell are you doing..."

"Sex, just stupid nothing special sex. Now get your pants off" He just blinked at her, her entire personality had changed. She'd gone from clam and trying to comfort him to wanting to punish him with sex. She was as crazy as he was and clearly he didn't move fast enough for her because her hands moved to his pants and started to yank them down his hips, when they were halfway down his thighs that seemed to be enough for her. He watched her start to wiggle out of her panties only to be stopped when she saw she was hindered by her legs wrappd aorund his waist.. Something she quickly fixed as she pulled away from him and then they were gone and her legs were back around his waist pulling him closer.

"Stop it." Hell..he felt like he was the one about to be raped

"No, it's just sex remember."

"Not for you it wasn't" Which only seemed to make her madder

"Stop talking and fuck me already." It was the first time he'd heard her curse and it made him smile, she was putting on a brave front but she was not more able to hold onto this anger then he was able to kill her she just didn't know it yet.

"You don't want it like that trust me"

"First I couldn't get you to talk, now you talk to damn much"

"Stop it." When the hell had he become the voice of reason, although it was getting harder to be the reason when all that seperated them was his boxers

"Make me"

She lifted her hips and wiggled against him and his control snapped, what was he supposed to do? He wasn't a 'good' guy he had no need to protect her from anything let alone herself. Raising his hand to her neck he slowly trailed it down her body slowly over the rise of her chest. His fingers splayed over her breast before he grabbed the bra and tugged it down to free them. Bending his head he sucked her nipple into his mouth, she moaned under him and he helt her shift under him lifting to press him closer. He felt her fingers sneak under his t-shirt as his mouth sucked and nibbled on her. Slowly he pulled his mouth away and she whipered her protest

"This is the last chance" She responded by running her fingers threw his hair and yanking his mouth down to meet hers where their tounges met. His hands slid lover on her body curving around her hips to lift her and press her against him as close as he could, he broke the kiss to trail his mouth across her cheek and down the side of her neck before he blew air over her still damp nipple, her body gave a shutter and he smirked before running his tounge around it. He hadn't noticed she'd removed her hands from his shirt until he felt her delicate fingers wrap around him and his hips jerked on their own "Fuck.."

She giggled at him before she slowly moved her hand up and then down, his own hand shot down and wraped around her wirst to stop her movements and she pouted up at him "You don't make sense." She tighned her grip on him and he had to focus in order to ask the question but the pressure of her hand was going to win out soon

"I just..you're special" She had no idea, he pulled her hand out of his boxers and she watched with wide eyes as they raised above her head on their own. "Cheater"

"Yes I am." His hands moved across her stomach his fingers skimming lightly over the flat expanse of bare skin, her breath hissed out of her and her stomach contracted. She was reponsive and he suddenly wanted to try things. She looked crushed as he pulled away from her but he just smirked down at her as he planted his hands on either side of her head and pushed himself up so that none of them was touching. "Do not move your hands"

She nodded as she felt the invisible grip release her but the startled gasp she gave as the same invisible touch spread her legs made him chuckle. She started to move her right hand but his look stopped her. She looked up into his face before her gaze jerked back down as she felt a touch glide over her core "W..what.."

"Just wait."

"It's creepy...kind of" But she didn't take her eyes off it as she felt something push inside her, her eyes rolled back and she lifted her hips with a loud moan as he used his mind to push farther into her. "Oh..gawds" Her hips started to move with the rythem and her breathing was ragged as she pushed her hips faster and faster. He watched her face before closing his eyes to concentrate, her moan was louder as he increased the pressure and he knew she was on the edge of release when a the bellow of a cell phone interupted. The noise was so sudden his attention snapped to her jeans and the pressure on her relented "My...phone I have, someone will wonder"

His eyes snapped to her face but he held out his hand and the phone slipped from the back of her jean pocket to his hand and he handed it over, she took a deep breath before flipping it open and trying to control her voice. "Hello?"

"Azure? Are you alright? You sound as if you're been running."

"Matt?" His body went stiff and her gaze darted to his face. She shook her head quickly begging him not to react to it and he decided he wouldn't at the very least not the way she thought he would.

"Yeah, Sorry I asked your friend for the number. I just wanted to make sure everything was ok."

"Everything is fine, why wouldn't it be?"

"Your friend said you didn't feel well I just wanted to make sure nothing was bothering you."

"No, I pro-oh" She floundered when she felt the brush of hair on her thighs, slowly her gaze traveled down her body to find him smirking up at her. She bit her lip as he pressed his mouth to her inner thigh and dragged it slowly towards her. Her body was shaking, he was going to enjoy this.

"Azure?"

"I'm fine..Just uh stomach ache" He chuckled before pressing his hand against her stomach to hold her in place and teasing grazed his mouth over her. Her hips bucked violently but the hand on her stomach kept her from moving to much. "Oh.."

"Are you sure everythings ok?"

"G..good" He slipped his tounge out and slid it down her slit before leaning in close to suck her into his mouth.She bit her lip hard to muffle the cry "I..need"

"Should I tell your friend to have someone check on you..."

"No.." She whimpered as he slid his hands to her hips and pulled her closer "I..call back.." And then she promptley hung up on him and tossed the phone aside sliding her fingers into his hair and pressing him closer. Sylar didn't need her to ask again his tounge pushed into her and he grazed his teeth over her lightly. He tightned his grip on her hips when she started to grind against his face "In..please no more teasing." He lifted his head and placed a kiss on her thigh again before kissing up her body, a swipe of his tounge over her hip bone, her stomach, and over her chest before he crushed his mouth to hers. her arms came around his neck and she moaned as he slid a hand under her body to lift her hips. It was his turn to groan when she raked her nails down his back. Using what little self control he had left he took a moment to kick out of his boxers before arching her hips up again and using his other hand to spread her legs. Clearly he need not have bothered before they fell open for him. He moved his body so that they was pressed against her and then he slowly started to push in. She broke their kiss and titled her head back to moan and he braced a hand next to her head her legs locking around his waist urging him on.

"Wait.."

"No." He couldn't help but smile at her and he pushed in deeper, she was hot and tight and his eyes glazed over as he gave himself over to the feeling. She framed his face in her hands again as she lifted her hips to put him even farther inside her before pulling his head down so she could whisper into his ear as his body pumped in and out of her. "My special" His hips jerked and he plunged in harder "Gabriel." He thrust into her hard and she winced slightly but the moan in his ear told him she wasn't hurt. He should have told her not to use the name but he was lost. Her body fit snuggly around him and all he could do was continue to move in and out of her. His free hand slid across her body his thumb coming to rub her nipple and her breaths started to come in gasps but he needed to be closer to her and soon enough his hand moved back to her him and his fingers dug into her skin and he used his hand to pull her against him with every thrust into her. She was still whispering into his hear her words broken and her breathing hitching evertime he pushed in. She had to repeat herself a few times before he finally realised she was asking something "Roll over."

His eyes focued on her face and he just watched her for a moment never slowing his movements before he conceded and flipped them so that he was on his back watching her. She braced her hands on his chest her dark hair framing her face as she lifted up and then dropped back down on him. Soon enough they were moving together. As she pushed her body down he would lift his hips to meet her. When her moves started to become frantic his hands held her around the waist to help control her movements but it wasn't enough for either of them and he rolled her onto her back again before pressing all the way in. They were touching everywhere and he waited until she looked at him "Close..don't..Gabriel" He pulled out and slammed back in hard her body quaking as he pushed her closer to the edge. He could feel her body tighten around him, and when she said his name again his next thrust was harder and then she shattered around him and he followed right after losing himself in her. As they both came back down his body slumped against her and neither of them moved before he slowly pushed himself off of her and looked around lazily before finding his boxers and pulling them on. He'd lost his t-shirt at some point and he found it laying on the far side of the room lifting his hand it flew over to him and he set it down beside him before reaching out a hand and helping her sit up. She was already blushing and held her arms over her chest without really thinking about it he pulled her closer and pulled the shirt over the top of her head, she smiled up at him as her head came out of the top and she lifted a hand and trailed her fingers over his cheek

"Sylar?"

"Hm?"

"What did we just do?" He watched her silently for a long moment, he could tell her the truth or he could start to put things back to the way they should have been. She was watching him with those eyes of hers and he didn't realish the light going out of them like he should have when he finally responded, but he did what he did best he lied with a straight face.

"We fucked."

Temptation was a bitch.
