Summary: “Now, now, Mohinder. It’s either me or the cookies,” Sylar teased.
A/N: My response to all the Sylar/Mohinder fluff lately. It’s fluff, but not. You’ll see.

Companion Piece: Can't Resist the Day


Sylar entered his apartment to a strong, sweet smell wafting through the air. He felt his smile increase with every step he took closer to the kitchen.

Mohinder was standing there, leaning against a counter, a book in his hands. He looked up at the noise and smiled when he saw Sylar. “How was your day?”

“Good, but it’ll only get better,” Sylar smirked, as he crossed the distance between them to kiss him. Mohinder dropped the book to the floor as he kissed back languidly. When their lips parted, Sylar slipped his arms around Mohinder’s waist. “What are you making?”

“Chocolate chip cookies,” Mohinder replied.

Sylar pouted. “Aren’t I sweet enough?”

Mohinder laughed. “Maybe, but I can’t eat you, can I?” As if on cue, the timer went off, and he moved out of Sylar’s embrace to take the cookies out of the oven. Sylar wasn’t pleased with the loss of contact, so he embraced him again, from behind this time.

“But you can taste me,” Sylar protested, and to punctuate his point, he kissed his neck and then sucked.

Mohinder’s breath hitched, and his head tilted to give him better access. “Physical hunger and sexual hunger are two different things, Sylar.”

“What are you hungry for, then?” he asked, his hot breath contrasting the wet spot on Mohinder’s neck.

He shivered. “Can I say both?”

“Now, now, Mohinder. It’s either me or the cookies,” Sylar teased, then resumed sucking his neck, making it clear which answer he wanted to hear.

Strangely, he felt Mohinder tense up under him. He waited for the geneticist to respond, but he stayed silent. Concerned, Sylar spun Mohinder around, only to see him glaring at him.

Sylar frowned. “You’re not actually upset, are you? You know that I love you.” It seemed like such an overreaction. But Mohinder’s glare didn’t waver, and he didn’t speak a word, though the spark in his eyes was communicating thousands.

Oh. Sylar knew what this was about. Every so often Mohinder acted like this. It was inexplicable.

But he knew how to fix it.

He cupped his face gently as his voice grew deep and cold. “You love me, Mohinder. Deeply. Passionately. And…,” Sylar grinned, “forever.”

The look in Mohinder’s eyes in that second was the most venomous he had ever seen from anyone. But it was gone in an instant, and replaced with a warm smile and eyes lit with affection. “I’m sorry, I don’t know what came over me,” Mohinder said as he embraced Sylar, “Forgive me?”

“Of course,” Sylar said breezily, “Unless you choose cookies over me.”

Mohinder’s expression grew naughty. “Cookies can wait.” He kissed Sylar, briefly but intensely; a preview of what was to come. “I love you.”

Sylar smiled. “I know.”

That was so sweet! ^_^ I loved it. Awesome job!

[jetaimerai.livejournal.com]

...Sweet? *laughs* I guess I didn't make it clear enough in the fic, huh? It's not supposed to be. :P

But thank you!

[hrkittie13.livejournal.com]

well, in my twisted mind.. its sweet. ^_^

[ivy-b.livejournal.com]

Now that I read the companion piece- did Sylar get Eden's powers? Was he using them on Mohinder? If so- wow. Poor poor Mohinder, great angst.

[jetaimerai.livejournal.com]

Exactly. :) I should've made that more clear. .____.

[flo-nelja.livejournal.com]

*takes a few instants to understand* Oh yeah, it's the same AU, and in here, Sylar did get Eden's power... and he is not so reluctant as she was to use them this way. :-)

I love how fluff can get this dark. :-)

(I pity Eden even more)
(Also, even if Eden died even before Sylar met Mohinder, I can't help seeing some kind of symbolic rivalry in their relationships... They were hanging at Chandar's at the same time, and they were both "courting" Mohinder afterthat...)

[jetaimerai.livejournal.com]

I do too! Dark fluff is the best kind. :) Thank you!

I totally agree. Also, when you think about it, the two of them should've already known each other - I've considered writing a fic about that, actually. *g*

[flo-nelja.livejournal.com]

Yeah, they knew each other, it's canon.
In the episode 11, there is a discussion like
Sylar : I know you...
Eden : I lived next door to Chandra Suresh.
Sylar : That wonderful ability... and all this time, you were the girl's next door !
And then he points that she knew and she could have killed him, and she did not.
I have written about them in these time... would you be interested in reading it ? It's in French, but I think it would not be a problem...

[jetaimerai.livejournal.com]

Ah, of course. Sometimes I'm a total idiot. *laughs* But I'd still like to write fic about their relationship during that era. Maybe one day...

YES, I would be totally interested in reading that! For one, I can't think of a better way to practice my French then by reading fanfic, haha.

(Also: the fact that you're a French-speaking Mylar fan makes you SO AWESOME to me, hee. :P)

[flo-nelja.livejournal.com]

I'd like to know if you do so *friends your writing journal*

My fic - or, rather, drabble collection - about Sylar and Eden is here : http://flo-nelja.livejournal.com/103489.html

I have also written a few other Heroes fics (mostly about Sylar and Mohinder) and a few drabbles about... almost everyone, really. Follow the "heroes" tag if you're interested. :-)

[herverylowness.livejournal.com]

Creepy yet cute.. that's an odd combo yet I like!

[jetaimerai.livejournal.com]

It may be odd, but it's perfect for Mylar, don't you think? ;) Thank you!

[kael-raye.livejournal.com]

Huzzah! ^_^

I was trying to figure out how this couldn't be fluff as I read along and then Sylar had to go all Eden on Mohindy. Mohinder must really hate him on the inside.

[jetaimerai.livejournal.com]

Oh, he does. It can't end happily... which is a good thing. ;) Thank you!

[runzu.livejournal.com]

OMG, yessssssss.

Mind controls powerzzzzzzzz. :D

[jetaimerai.livejournal.com]

I know, right? *g* I wonder why it hasn't been written about more often...

[runzu.livejournal.com]

I shall rectify this for you, kay?

Name a pairing and shall add it to my steadily lengthening cue. XD

[jetaimerai.livejournal.com]

Whoa, this is the second offer I've gotten for fic today. Wow. Thanks! xD

As for mind control fic? For some reason, Eden/Bennet sounds fantastic. If you think you could pull that pairing off, I think I'd love you forever! Haha.

[runzu.livejournal.com]

Hee! YW. I am a bit of maniac since I'm struggling with writing so many stories all at once. XD

All righty. Eden/Bennett? SO horrifically easy. ;D

[forsquilis.livejournal.com]

I was thinking, "This is too saccharine for me." And then...and then...

But he knew how to fix it.

This is exactly how I like my Mylar fic: twisted underneath a sweet veneer, and you sense that if the story kept going, it would end very badly.

[jetaimerai.livejournal.com]

That's my favorite kind of Mylar fic too! I'm happy that you think I pulled it off, thank you. :)

Oh, and I lurk on the TWoP Hoyay thread, and I love reading your posts. :)

[whatwas.livejournal.com]

sweet in that sylar is so twisted & totally brainwashing Mohinder kind of way.....

[jetaimerai.livejournal.com]

The best kind of sweet! *laughs* Thanks :)

[holy-cockroach.livejournal.com]

Sylar's so... manipulative! This was a fluffy layer of fluff with a creepy layer of... creepy underneeath. It was like... sweet and dark at the same time. *shivers* Awesome!!! <3

[jetaimerai.livejournal.com]

Haha, that's an apt way of putting it. ;) Thank you!

[lunais-cross.livejournal.com]

But he knew how to fix it.

That's approximately when I went, "adskjlk;adfbzuh? No!" When I was reading this, I was wondering how this could be "fluff, but not," but whoa dang. I love it.

Your icon is so awesome.

[jetaimerai.livejournal.com]

Then my job is done. ;) Thank you!

Thanks! I love Riku ♥

[greatwhitesnark.livejournal.com]

At first I was thinking this was way too sweet for these two characters, but then the end came along and I was pleasantly surprised. Dark fluff is fun.

[jetaimerai.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that was my intention. ;) I was the one who wrote the fluff rant at heroes_fanwank, after all. This was my attempt at showing how I think fluff for the pairing should be written. *g*

[ladywilde80.livejournal.com]

Sylar is so evil... lol - great story.

[jetaimerai.livejournal.com]

Yep, that's Sylar for you. *g* Thank you!

[sweetfacedlion.livejournal.com]

Oh wow. Someone needs to write a sexy sequel to this. If you don't, I would love to. *_*

[jetaimerai.livejournal.com]

OMG, you'd seriously do that? No one's ever reacted that way to a story of mine! I wasn't planning on writing a sequel, so go for it! I'd love to read it. :D

[sweetfacedlion.livejournal.com]

Yay! *adds to to-do list*

[sweetfacedlion.livejournal.com]

Just checking in to let you know that I haven't forgotten about my promise to write a sequel. I'm just very bogged down with my justthatdirty challenge fic at the moment. *tears hair out*

[jetaimerai.livejournal.com]

Oh no, it's not problem! There's no pressure to write. The fact that you still want to do it in itself amazes me, so take your time. :) I just ask that if you do ever finish it, link me to it - I might miss it on my flist otherwise, and we wouldn't want that. xD

When You Think About It

[charone.livejournal.com]

there had to be some love for Sylar deep down in Mo a well as the hate because in the companion peace, Edan saw a blank face that wanted her to stop Sylar saw happiness when Mohinder was under his command.

I really digged on this fic.

Re: When You Think About It

[jetaimerai.livejournal.com]

Hmm, you bring up an interesting point. Mohinder does feel some affection for Sylar; however, the fact that Sylar is using mind control powers on him means that he will always hate him more. He acts happier here because 1) that's how he acts when he's in love, which is what Sylar orders him to be and 2) Mohinder is used to this, and more resigned to it, so it's easier for him to be happy then in the other fic.

Wow, that was long! Sorry about that. Anyway, thank you! :D

[aunt-zelda.livejournal.com]

I think I just died ... sorry! (I seem to be doing a lot of that lately ...)

[jetaimerai.livejournal.com]

Died? Is this a good or a bad thing? :P

[aunt-zelda.livejournal.com]

Good thing ... in this case, it means I died of the crack. Sometimes I die of beauty, or phenomenal, earth-shattering writing.

[wisecracks.livejournal.com]

Just when i thought the fluff would smother me--BANG! Fantastic.

[jetaimerai.livejournal.com]

*giggles* Thank you. :)

[smurfsrfun2boil.livejournal.com]

I have been craving Sylar/Mohinder, but most fic I've found have been sappy. Which doesn't really work for the wonderfully psychotic evil that is Sylar.
This makes me happy. <3

[top-hatted-girl.livejournal.com]

Ha ha! *waves sword* You have dealt a bleeding blow to the filthy, sappy beast that is Fluff! I salute you!

[etoiledunord.livejournal.com]

I know this was posted over a year ago, but I stumbled upon it, and I have to ask: Is the title from a Vanessa Carlton song? That's... such a weird parallel. In an amusing way. ^_^

Also, *shiver* Creepy fic.

[jetaimerai.livejournal.com]

Haha, good catch! Yes, it is from a Vanessa Carlton song. :) It's a line that I always loved, and I thought it worked well if ironically for this fic. *g*

And I'll take that as a compliment! Thanks. :D
