Disclaimer: I do not own Gabriel "Sylar" Gray or Heroes. Please don't sue me. Thanks. .

Author's Note: Okay, so this is sort of an addition to the end of the story and is not supposed to be a part of the main plot. I wrote this because I just couldn't leave Ara and Sy hanging like that. It's not the best that I have written, but I like it well enough. I hope that you all enjoy this "Bonus Deleted Scene". It takes place in the present, so it is after the bomb goes off, but Sylar still has powers. (Obviously this whole fic was AU-ish with me trying to keep Sy in character. : P ) Enjoy! Thanks for reading! Please read and review (It makes me happy ; ) )! Many huggs and muffins

The Watchmaker's Son

Chapter 5.5

It was a gorgeous night. The stars were clear to see, which was unusual for the city. It was a cooler night in the park than it had been the previous week, but Aracely didn't mind in the slightest. This was going to be really nice. At least she hoped so because there was an ever so slight chance of rain that she had noted while watching the evening news.

As she waited for her company, she stared into the water of a fountain, gently trickling before her. She saw change sparkle in the moonlight from the bottom. Aracely usually thought that wishing on loose change was silly, but the moonlight made her give into the romanticism of it all. She grabbed a quarter out of her change purse, held it tightly, closed her eyes, and made a long wish. She opened her eyes and smiled as she playfully threw it into the water where it made a "plunk" noise on impact.

She began watching the stars again, picking out constellations like Orion just as whom she was to meet came up behind her. She hadn't heard or seen him, so he placed his hand on the small of her back to alert her of his presence. Aracely was slightly startled, but she turned and gave him a warm smile.

"Gabe!" she exclaimed as they both gave each other a welcoming kiss on the cheek and a hug. "You're late!" she said as she playfully hit him on the shoulder and led him to a nearby park bench.

"I am never late. I always arrive precisely when I mean to," Sylar said as he ushered Aracely onto the bench. He sat down to her right and gave her a wry, sideways smile as he said, "I thought I told you to call me Sylar?"

"Yeah, well . . . You know I like calling you Gabe. It makes you seem sweet," she said as she snuggled into his side. Sylar put his arm around her shoulders.

"You know I am anything but, Ara. You are delusional, my dear." He looked down at Aracely as she looked up and grinned at him.

"Oh, you know I must be!" she said as she snuggled further into his side. She looked up at the moon, high in the night sky, lit like a royal jewel. Her dark eyes glowed. They both sat there admiring the sight, waiting for the true show to appear.

"You know, at the rate this is going, I could have been another half hour late," said Sylar.

"Aww, but I like spending time with you, Gabe," she said looking up at him with doe eyes. Sylar's only response to this was a far off stare, an ever so slight smile, and a squeeze to Aracely's shoulder. There was another peaceful silence.

Then the moment that they had both waited for occurred. The moon began to eclipse. Ever so slightly, the edge of the moon turned a luminous red - orange. Sylar and Aracely stared up at it with wide-eyed wonder. It was so beautiful - so captivating. Aracely wished that they could stay like this forever. Sylar wished that he could absorb the power and night of the sight.

Soon the moon was in a total eclipse. Leaves were slightly falling from the trees around them. Aracely gave Sylar a contented smile, and Sylar smiled with a sort of admiration in his eyes. He began kissing Aracely ever so lightly. He could faintly taste her dinner on her lips - her favorite recipe, lemon chicken.

Aracely was surprised, but she didn't back away. Only now did she realize that she had wanted this for years. She placed her hands on his head, stroking his cheek and feeling the softness of his hair. She could even taste chai on his lips. It was so sweet.

They parted from the gentle kiss and stared at each other for a moment, trying to take in everything that had just transpired. Shy smiles spread across their faces. The eclipse was finally fading and Aracely and Sylar were once again bathed in cool moonlight. They sat there again for a long while. This time the silence was more than content. Aracely let out a giggle that was only meant for herself to hear, but Sylar caught it. Dale's power was very useful. He turned to see the reason for this when Aracely blushed and turned her head away form him.

She bit her lip ever so slightly out of nervousness. She then turned back to Sylar and snuggled into him. Sylar was glad for the company that he kept now. For so long he had been alone in the world, even as a child. He knew now that he had at least one person who cared about him. That she had always cared about him. Aracely began nibbling his ear playfully and he began to laugh.

"Why are you doing that, Ara?"

She backed away, smiled, and replied, "I always wanted to do that." Sylar shook his head and got up from the bench.

"May I walk you back to your apartment? The city can be very dangerous at night." He held out his hand to help her up from the park bench. Aracely gratefully took it.

"Thank you, Gabe." She gave him a smile and began walking with him. All of the way back to her apartment they were arm in arm. At the door they shared one more sweet kiss.
