I Do (Mylar drabble for the heroes_contest community)

[aunt_zelda]

Title: I Do
Rating: PG-13-ish (nothing hardcore, no swearing, hints of dub-con.)
Word Count: 477 (approximately)

Pairing: Mylar (Mohinder/Sylar)
Summary: ... officially, now, this was an affair …

Disclaimer: I do not own Heroes, Tim Kring and NBC do. The characters Mohinder, Sylar, Molly, and Matt Parkman were not invented by me. This drabble was written for the enjoyment and amusement of myself and fellow Heroes fans, no profit involved, blah blah, please don't sue me, it was hard enough to scrounge up the cash to pre-order S2 ...

A/N: I know, I know, I haven’t written Mylar in MONTHS, and for that I am sorry. I was kidnapped by all things Whoverse, please forgive me. Now that Doctor Who S4 is over, however, I'm going to be getting back into the Heroes swing of things. (September can't come fast enough, in my mind!)

Prompt: Vows

 

 

 

Mohinder twirled the gold band on his finger as he contemplated his cell phone, holding off dialing the number for as long as he could.

He listened to the ringing on the other end, praying that, by some miracle, no one would pick up, and he could go home and cook Molly dinner.

No such luck.

“Doctor Suresh …”

Mohinder winced at the sound. “Marlene’s Motel, off the highway, room 42.”

The voice on the other end laughed. “Be there in fifteen-minutes …”

With a ‘click,’ the line went dead. Mohinder turned his phone off with an angry snap and tossed it, along with his ring, into the drawer of the bedside table.

After staring at the walls for a few seconds, he flumped back onto the bed and tried to drain away all of his anger. Going into this angry would only prolong the whole damn affair.

Affair …he thought with a sardonic smile. Yes, officially, now, this was an affair. Never mind that it was preventing his adopted daughter and his husband from having their heads ripped open.  

Husband …now that was going to take some getting used to. Last year he hadn’t even known Matt’s name, and barely a week ago Mohinder had been signing a document that said he was married to the man.  

Marriage …was it really that, though? It was only a precaution, a charade to further secure Mohinder’s place here in the States … and it wasn’t like Matt was going to be ‘faithful’ either …

Mohinder shook his head. If there’s anything I should be feeling guilty about it’s –

BANG.

Him.

Mohinder sat up, but Sylar shook his head. “Stay down.”

Mohinder lay back again, closing his eyes as Sylar shut the door, and the curtains. He flinched when Sylar slowly took off Mohinder’s shoes and socks, massaging the geneticist’s feet with his hands and telekinesis.

Just get on with it …Mohinder thought, gripping the sheets of the bed.

“Impatient today, are we?” Sylar asked, rolling onto the bed beside Mohinder and kissing him slowly.

Mohinder opened his eyes. “Don’t pretend this is anything but a trade.” he spat.

Sylar shrugged. “Fine …” he began unbuttoning Mohinder’s shirt. “Just remember …” he murmured, unzipping his pants and pulling something out of his pocket. “You don’t have to hide from me, Mohinder.”

Mohinder sighed. He was tired of thinking in his native language so Matt wouldn’t find out. He was exhausted from spending sleepless nights staring at the List, trying to make sense of it all. He was fed-up with stacking lies on top of lies to protect Molly, and now Matt. He was sick of feeling sick with himself and having to smile at everyone like everything was fine.

“I hate you …” Mohinder whispered.

Sylar cocked his head to the side. “Promise?”

Mohinder turned away.

I do …

I HAVE MISSED YOU AND THAT PURPLE CHAIR.

WELCOME BACK!!

Holy hell that was an awesome drabble!!!! So hot!

[ladywilde80.livejournal.com]

Hey hey! You were missed, love! This was an awesome drabble - totally hot, and totally creepy.

I really liked this <3

[evil15smiles.livejournal.com]

That was GOOD! Welcome back! (I'm kind of a newbie, so I didn't know you were gone, but I'm glad you're back anyway. Mylar is a good place to come home to.)

I MISSED YOU.

I wasn't quite around when you were, but I have read some of your stuff and MUH WELCOME BACK.

+loves+

Oh my god, you wrote a Mylar fic! It's been far too long my friend.

This was...intense. You get across so much in this drabble and I'm completely intrigued by it. I won't lie, I'm not a MattMo person so I was glad to hear that their marriage was part of an act, a necessary act of protection.

As for the affair...I like that for all of Mohinder's denials there's still that unspoken acknowledgment of much more. The way Sylar takes off his shoes and socks is incredibly intimate, considering the amused laugh he gives Mohinder over the phone. At that time they seemed much more -- well, as Mohinder said it was a trade. But seeing Sylar with him in the motel shifted that around for me. Sylar seems to be reading between the lines (as much as he's having fun with Mohinder being all "whatever") and that ending...so many different ways to read that.

So nice to see you back again!

YAY AZ I love your fics, it was you with your endless links on your LJ to a mass amount of fics, who helped me catch up on loads of old fics when I 1st discovered Mylar_fic and I have still yet to read them all.

It's so nice that you're back! I've missed all your funny comments. :)

This was short and sweet and intense. I'm always amazed when people can cover so much ground in such a short amount of time. I just loved Mohinder's anticipation and his practical thought-process. It was just really in-character and scary.

Back with a bang, you are!

[shimmeree.livejournal.com]

Awesome.

[pyjamagurl.livejournal.com]

I did a double take when I noticed you had written Mylar! I missed you, lol!

This was really good (I had contemplated writing mylar for Heroes_contest, but so far haven't had the inspiration) and I really liked it even though I don't like Matt/Mo very much, Sylar being maniplative and having his way with Mohinder in trade for leaving Molly and Matt well alone is hot ^__^

I was wondering what had happened to you! ^_^ WELCOME BACK!

Guh, this was lovely. Poor, poor conflicted Momo.

As others have said, I am not a Matthinder fan, but seeing their relationship in this light was interesting indeed.

I love it; I needed this. :D

[angary.livejournal.com]

OMG! *Flails about and glomps you*

It's great to see new Mylar content by you, and I hope that there's more to come! By the way, this one was short and sweet; and I especially love the last line. It was the perfect way to end this drabble.

Seriously, great job on this, and like the others have already say, I'VE MISSED YOU! ^_^

[megmatthews20.livejournal.com]

I was WONDERING where you'd gone...

So glad you're back!

This ficlet is really cool, and I like how Mohinder continues to accept his fate, and go the hard way about everything so as to protect those he loves...in this case, Molly.

It's awesome to see someone finally mention the fact that Mohinder probably isn't in the U.S. entirely legally...maybe the Company pulled some strings or something...

Anyway, great stuff!

cheers
