Hope Rides Alone

Title: Then, Now, Soon

Rating: PG-13 … I think …

Genre: Drabble

Warnings: If you haven’t watched all of Season 1 of Heroes, you shouldn’t be here, you should be at nbc.com catching up!

Disclaimer: Uh … obviously I don’t own Heroes, because if I did, I’d have Mylar making out on screen instead of in slash fics or my twisted mind …

My Thoughts: Came out of nowhere. Probably my first official drabble fic. I like it.

Then …

Deception. False name. Strange clothes. A road-tip to obscure locations. Steamy nights in motel rooms. Drugged Tea. Tuning-fork. Spinal-tap. Like father like son. Blood and forced love. Peter Petrelli. Darkness …

Now …

Desperate phone call. Refusal and betrayal. Don’t look at him, even though he’s close by – focus on Peter Petrelli, not on him …

Soon …

Forgetful. My name’s Gabriel, you say? I guess I’m a watchmaker …

Feverish dreams of blood and horror. Comforting embraces from a man with curly hair. Tentative kiss. Fiery kisses. This feels so good …

A house near many others that look exactly the same. Little girl with long brown hair. Star drawings scattered around. Soft, slow sex. Movie night. Report cards. Getting older. The boy Molly dates frees the computer of a virus. More evenings to be alone now.
