abc – flashback
Peter had to drag himself away from her or he'd never let her go
"You hungry?"
Claire nodded
"Come on, I'll see what I got"
They went inside and Peter started raiding through the cupboards the fridge and the freezer but things didn't look good Peter started to panic,
'Great I just promised to feed her and I have nothing edible!'
Claire saw the panic on his face
'He really is trying hard' she chuckled to herself. Just then she spotted a menu on the counter
"You know I'd kill for a Chinese," she said holding up a menu
He smiled and let out a sigh of relief
As they waited for the food to come they watch some TV.
Claire sat on the couch not really paying attention to whatever was on the TV, but she was trying to act amused and she'd laugh when she heard Peter laugh. Every now and then she'd look towards Peter and he's look away as if he'd been staring at her, and she's smile and turn her head back towards the TV.
Finally Claire got bored and asked
"What are you going as for Hiro's party?"
"Huh?" Peter answered
"You know, Hiro Japanese's guy glasses…" said sarcastically
Peter laughed
"Yes Claire I know Hiro" He answered still looking confused
"His Birthday party Peter, you know, fancy dress?"
"Oh god, I completely forgot!"
Claire laughed as Peter ran his hand through his hair
"I can't believe Micah's gonna miss it, he was upset"
Peter was still deep in thought not hearing her comment
'Oh god a costume!' he thought for a moment.
"What are you going as?" Peter smirked
Claire laughed
"I'm not telling"
"Why not?"
"Cause it's a surprise and you wouldn't want to ruin it would you?" she said smirking
Peter sulked and flashed her a grin and his puppy dog eyes
"That's not going to work Peter Petrelli!"
Peter grunted
"I'll find out you know!" he said to which Claire just chuckled
He sulked
"I have no idea what to go as!"
"That's why I rang Isaac earlier we're all going shopping tomorrow"
"Oh really? And why did you phone Isaac?" Peter said glairing at her for mentioning his name.
Claire rolled her eyes
"Because its easier for us all to go"
"What about Matt?"
"I text him while you were sleeping, he said yes"
The food came and they ate it, they watched some more TV, and Claire fell asleep on Peter's shoulder
He sat there watching her for about an hour before even thinking about moving her. He'd never been this close to her, but hear she was in his arms. The light for the TV danced off her face.
'God she so beautiful'
He check the time it was 3am,
'I better move her or Matt'll be home before she wakes up'He gently scooped her up in his arms and carried her to her room. The room was dark and the only light that could be seen was that of the TV in the living room, but you could still see the outline of the room perfectly. The double bed was in the centre of the room, he had a small cabint to the left which supported a small lamp and clock. The wardrob was to the right of the room against the wall directly facing the window. They were pictures covering the wall behind the bed some of which were one of him and Nathan at his wedding, one of the whole gang at the diner, a photo of him and his mom after he became a nurse but the one directly above him was a photo of Claire on her 18th birthday party. As lay her on the bed she stirred slightly so he hushed her and she relaxed again at the faint sound of his voice.
He stood there for a few minutes just watching her in the moon light he push a stray piece of hair from her face, then something took over him he leaned in and kiss her forehead and whispered
"Goodnight Claire"
He turned for the door just as he reached it
"Goodnight Peter"
He chuckled and closed the door
As he did Claire reach up and touched the spot where a few seconds ago his lips lingered, and smiled. She'd sleep well tonight.
Matt was home a few hours later and woke Peter up as he came in
"Hey" Peter said sleepily
"Well, I see no blood!" he said quietly
"No, no blood" he murmured
Matt chuckled
"Good, Night Peter"
"Night, hey Matt?"
"Yeah?"
"Did Claire text you last night?"
"Yeah about shopping why?"
"Did she tell you what she's going as?"
Matt shook his head and laughed
"Goodnight Peter!"
'Worth a try'
He chuckled to himself before drifting back to sleep with a certain blonde on his mind
AN – hey I hope you like.
