A/N: These are a series of drabbles in response to a meme in which I asked people to name two Heroes characters whose first kiss they wanted me to write. The drabbles are mostly in a sort of 5YGverse, placed in chronological order here (except for the last one, which is set during "Landslide").
Sylar/Mohinder
Mohinder had managed to live with the knowledge of Sylar's existence for an entire year before he kissed him. It wasn't a reward, he wasn't saying "thank you for saving my life when Peter exploded and took out a good chunk of New York," but it wasn't a punishment, it wasn't "you killed my father/girlfriend/friends and now I'm going to make you suffer, if the only way I can do it is by breaking your heart."
The kiss was simply a kiss, flavored by they'd been drinking (Sylar found it ironic) and the vanilla ice cream that Sylar had been eating before that. There had been a moment of confusion as they'd adjusted, took note of whose nose was where and what style of kisser the other was. There'd been Sylar's hands gripping his hair hard enough to almost hurt, his nails digging into Sylar's shoulders and the back of his neck. And then there'd been the separation, the end of it as they sucked in short gasps of air.
It had been perfect, as perfect as anything Sylar had ever built.
