WHO || Sylar and Lila [closed]
WHAT || Sylar and Lila celebrate their one year anniversary. :')
WHERE || Nando's first, then … other places in London. WE JUST DON'T KNOW.
WHEN || Backdated to April 5th
HOW || actionspammm

Although they didn't technically define their relationship until a while after they first met, Sylar is in town now and might not be on whatever fucking day that conversation happened, so why not celebrate their ~anniversary~ now? He's just grasping at straws to stick around, lbr. The night starts out, like most of their London-based date nights, at Nando's.

"So," he starts, mouth full of food because he's like five years old, "I was thinking about something we talked about awhile ago."

No, I want to. I just don't want to die from my boyfriend being the epicenter of Chernobyl.

[watchmaker]

I haven't killed you with any of my powers yet. [EXCEPT FOR THAT ONE TIME WHERE HE ALMOST KIND OF DID...]

[bittersweeter]

Yeah, but none of your powers are radioactive yet either. [ she puts her hands on the table, looking at him calmly. ] When you take their abilities, do you get the control they have with it?

[watchmaker]

Yeah, usually.

[bittersweeter]

Does he have control?

[watchmaker]

Since we're not having dinner in a radioactive wasteland right now, I'm gonna go with "probably."

[bittersweeter]

[ she makes a face at him but she's fighting a smile so it has absolutely no heat. ] Can I finish my chicken first?

[ SHE WAS ALWAYS GOING TO SAY YES. she just likes to know thing. all the things. many things. ]

[watchmaker]

Obviously. I have to finish mine, too. [like it won't take him only like five seconds. he's already back to stuffing his face.]

[bittersweeter]

Yeah, but you can just unhinge your jaw and swallow shit whole, I have to chew. [ jsyk. ] I actually eat, you inhale.

[watchmaker]

I don't inhale. [shut up sylar you so do. in the light of her criticism, he tries to eat ... slightly slower...]

[bittersweeter]

[ om nom noming french fries. ] So are we gonna go when we leave here? How d'y'know where he's going to be?

[watchmaker]

We can. And people are surprisingly predictable. I've been watching him for a few days; he has a routine.

[bittersweeter]

Ah, so this is the "nothing" you were doing while I was working? [ so cute. ]

[watchmaker]

It's possible. [such a sweet smile.] I had to do something to entertain myself while you were gone.

[bittersweeter]

So you took up stalking. That's adorable. Can we get dessert? I want cake.

[watchmaker]

[only u, lila. only u.] Of course! It's our anniversary. We deserve cake.

[bittersweeter]

Yay! [ yep. she actually says yay. ]

[watchmaker]

[good thing nando's has a dessert menu for them to peruse. which is what sylar is doing now.] What if I ordered one of each cake? Because that's what I'm feeling like right now.

[bittersweeter]

That's not even a lot. I want the chocolate one. With chocolate ice cream.

[watchmaker]

That settles that, then. [he flags down someone so he can order all the cakes. with two of the chocolate ice cream one. it's ok, he'll share all of his too ... maybe.]

[bittersweeter]

[ leaning back, she relaxes in her seat, rolling her glass between her hands. ] Emma was surprised we've been together this long.

[watchmaker]

[he doesn't seem particularly surprised to hear that.] She didn't seem to think very much of me.

[bittersweeter]

I don't think she thinks very much of any guy, honestly. But I meant, do you find it surprising?

[watchmaker]

Not really? But I don't remember ever being in another relationship. I don't have any sort of standard to measure us against.

[bittersweeter]

I guess that makes sense. Anyway if you ever left I'd just find you and make you love me again, so.
