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!

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.

[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...)

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

[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.

OMG, yessssssss.

Mind controls powerzzzzzzzz. :D

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.

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

[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

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.

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.

[ladywilde80.livejournal.com]

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

[sweetfacedlion.livejournal.com]

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

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.

[aunt-zelda.livejournal.com]

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

[wisecracks.livejournal.com]

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

[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!

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.
