Sylar chuckled as he watched Claire get all jittery and wondered what on earth she was thinking about. Could she possibly be just getting nervous from being in such an intimate position? Surely she knew he didn't mean anything he said. She couldn't be that naive. Everyone knew he liked to play with other people's emotions.<br/><br/>It was a well known fact and he was never really serious unless someone pissed him off but Claire hadn't done that. At least not yet. "Why should I? Am I getting to you that much? My my. I didn't know you had such weak resolve." He said with a chuckle and raised a brow when Claire murmured he couldn't be everywhere at once.<br/><br/>What was she thinking about? His eyes widened though when she suddenly pushed herself up on her toes and kissed him. Okay, he hadn't expected that. His lips met hers for a split second and then he stepped back, raising a brow in the cheerleader's direction. "Interesting. Did you think that would get to me?" Such a thought was naive.<br/><br/>"Oh. Have you harbored a crush on me since the moment I laid eyes on you, Claire?" Sylar asked, interested despite himself because if that was the case he could make good use of her. Have her on his side as a weapon against his enemies as he collected powers and in return he would promise Claire she could always be with him.<br/><br/>Until someone managed to kill her of course. Or capture her. Then she would have served her purpose and he could abandon her since he wasn't in this for the long run with a partner. He only wanted Claire with him for a short period of time. No longer than that. After all, he worked best alone.
