london ♔ are you ready? do you know?

♬ me and you - nero

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."

[ 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.

[watchmaker]

That's a non-problem. You could never get rid of me.

[bittersweeter]

Good. [ insert aggressive plurk emote here. ] So what're we gonna do after?

[watchmaker]

Whatever you want? [he assumes she means after their murder date, not after dessert.]

[bittersweeter]

You know, if I hadn't seen you be single minded to a fault -- [ because he is so stubborn sometimes, so stubborn. ] -- I'd think you were incredibly indecisive because you always make me decide what we're gonna do. [ not that she minds since she's such a bossy person and she loves getting what she wants. ]

[watchmaker]

Would you rather I didn't?

[bittersweeter]

Oh, no, I like being bossy. [ match made in heaven tbh. ] I was just noticing it.

[watchmaker]

Good. I just like seeing you happy, and you're happiest when you get your way. [he bops her on the nose with his finger.]

[bittersweeter]

[ her nose wrinkles automatically. stahp. she actually, gently, bats his hand away. cat girlfriend. ] You're probably the only one, honestly.

[watchmaker]

What makes you say that?

[bittersweeter]

Well, I mean, you want me happy. Everyone else wants me happy, but with caveats. Happy in a way they want. [ like being a good person and, probably, not with him. ] I don't know, it doesn't matter. What I meant to say is thanks for trying to make me happy, you are startlingly good at it.

[watchmaker]

Oh. [he reaches over to take her hand in his.] You're welcome. ... I love you, you know.

[bittersweeter]

I know. [ she gives his hand a squeeze, smiling softly. it never gets old, hearing him say that. especially knowing he means it. ] I love you, too.

[watchmaker]

[he leans over to kiss her ... and omg the cake makes it out in record time???? maybe nando's was expecting these bitches to show up. they have a red alert for tiny blonde girl and serial killer-looking dude now.]

[bittersweeter]

Oh cake! [ she pulls her hand back and grabs her plate with a grin. they can get back to kissing later because now it is cake time. and cue devouring. girl loves cake. ]

[watchmaker]

[IT'S ALL GOOD, SYLAR IS RIGHT THERE WITH HER. they are cake monsters.]

[bittersweeter]

[ so they're gross pigs for a while, lila totally steals a bite of all his cakes because she can even the chocolate one that she had because it was really good shhh. eventually the napkins go down. the check comes. let's blow this popcorn stand. ] Okay, ready.

[watchmaker]

[it was a good time, yo. lots of cake.] Ready. [so they get up and go outside ... the question is ... WHO DROVE THE CAR???]

[bittersweeter]

[ lila drove probably. because she's a bitch like that. so she unlocks the doors with a press of a button and slides into the drivers seat, starting it up. ] Okay, stalker boy, where are we going?
