Title: Because I Wanted to

Pairing: Sylar/Peter

Rating: PG-13

Summary: My first wall fic! Sylar watches Peter at night while he works on the wall, and this time he's caught doing so.

Sylar sat on the edge a roof and stared down at the wall where Peter was working. It was late at night and he knew that Peter must be tired, but he looked like he wasn't going to stop anytime soon. It's been two years since Peter appeared in this nightmare and each day, he found himself more and more aware of how much Peter loathed him.

Peter set the sledgehammer down and walked over to the cooler that Sylar had left there. He grabbed out a water bottle out. It was the first time that day that Sylar saw him take a break. Then again, Peter also wasn't aware of the fact that Sylar was watching him.

Peter looked up and even though Sylar blended in with night, Peter could see him. Peter shook his head and went back to working, the sound of the sledgehammer echoing out once more. Sylar got up and headed back to the apartment, collapsing on his bed.

It was a couple hours later, after he had fallen asleep, that he awoke to a shifting of weight. Sylar turned over to see Peter laying besides him. "Why are you in my bed?"

"Why were you secretly watching me?"

"Because I know you don't want me around."

Peter reached a hand out and ran his fingers down Sylar's arm. "Are you sure about that?"

Sylar nodded, confused by the touch. "You've already made it very clear to me multiple times."

Peter trailed his hand back up Sylar's arm and ran his fingers through Sylar's hair before pulling him closer and kissing him. Sylar froze up a bit and Peter pulled back. "You know, you can kiss me back. I'm not playing a joke on you."

Sylar stared at him for a long moment. When he was sure that he wasn't being deceived, he leaned in and kissed Peter back. Sylar wasn't sure how long they laid there kissing, but by the time they pulled away from each other, they were panting slightly and Sylar had ended up on top of Peter. Sylar leaned their foreheads together. "Why?"

"Because I wanted to."
