Summary: Peter finds Gabriel’s blood on his hands
Authors Note(s): Sylar and Gabriel are two men in one body.
Gabriel gasped as he felt the sword pierce his heart. Hadn’t Sylar been through this before? Except this time it hadn’t been Hiro. No, it had been Adam.
“Gabriel!”
He felt strong hands grab a hold of him and hold him close. Felt pressure being pressed against the wound in his chest. A wound that still held a sword within it.
“Stay with me. I’m going to pull it out.” The empath states even as he puts a hand on the hilt of the sword.
“No.” The watchmaker chokes out, blood coming to his lips staining them. His voice sounded weak even to himself. He couldn’t imagine how weak it sounded to Peter.
Peter presses his hand against the wound harder, the sharp edge of the blade cutting into his hand. “Yes.” And before his lover could protest the action, he pulls the sword out. Even as he does he watches as Gabriel’s blood spills out over his hand.
A slight cry escapes Gabriel’s lips and he could feel the darkness trying to pull him under, his brown eyes already closing.
“NO! Stay awake!” He yells pushing that healing energy into his dying lover. He hadn’t told Nathan about being around Linderman or about gaining the man’s ability to heal. Not when it didn’t really matter. Except for some reason this time it didn’t seem to be working. “Please…”
“I love you, Peter.”
Tears pricked the younger man’s eyes as the watchmaker took in his last breath, his body going limp in Peter’s arms. “I love you too.” Even as he heard the sirens in the distance he didn’t budge. He couldn’t budge. Or maybe he just didn’t want to. Voices were heard and he just held the dead body closer to him, his eyes transfixed on the blood that covered his hands. He’d lost him. The one person who meant the world to him lay in his arms... dead.
