first chance.

[Adam's on the most breathtaking beach you've ever seen. White sand, cool breeze, crystal clear ocean. He gives a contented sigh and all but drowns in his mojito. It's about high time he had a chance to relax. He would be more than fine with spending the next 400 right here, kicking back under a coconut tree. But there's something missing...

Looking to the side, he sees a beach chair leaned up against his, an almost sad expression crossing his face. He holds up his drink, and a beautiful woman with dark skin comes to take it away, bringing him another one almost instantaneously. Adam doesn't pay her any mind; he seems to be looking for someone.

Is it you?]

[ Pressing his nose in to Adam's shoulder, trying to keep from completely falling apart seems nearly impossible, but he's trying his hardest. ] But I let him go. I can't- I had to forgive Sylar to help anyone and I lost the only thing I had left.

[One arm secures Peter against his chest, the other gently pulling through his hair.] There's always something new to live for, Peter. You just have to find it.

But what if I can't. [ Squeezing his eyes shut and burying himself in against Adam, he's not entirely sure he ever wants to come back out. ] What if all I have is Sylar and working and-- Every person that I can't save just reminds me that he's gone because I couldn't get there in time.

[It's breaking his heart and he can't pull Peter close enough, holding him as tightly as he can manage.] Think about it: you've already saved more people than I'm sure, any of your paramedic counterparts; than most people could ever hope to in their entire lives; than I have in 400 years. Granted, I wasn't trying too hard. [He brushes his lips over Peter's forehead, trying to keep his speech light.] There will always be people you can't save, but for that person there will be ten more you can. You can't give up, Peter, it's not in your nature.

[ Taking fistfuls of Adam's shirt, Peter would give anything to disappear against him, to not have to wake up until he can cope with what's left of his reality. But he's done that once already, and it didn't make anything better then either. After a few forced breaths, his shoulders shaking, he works up the nerve to speak again. ] I never said I was going to give up. I just wish it wasn't so hopeless.

[He pushes Peter out at arm's length, shaking his head.] It isn't hopeless. I would've agreed with you not long ago, but you; you taught me there's always hope. Even when you can't see it, or feel it, it's there with you. Every step.

[ Staring back at Adam even though he's almost desperate for his hiding place against him, Peter's decided it hurts too much to breathe. ] But I used to be able to feel it. I used to know it was there and now I just... Now I want it back.

[identity profile] traptinacoffin.livejournal.com 2011-05-02 03:27 pm (UTC)(link)
It will come back, Peter. It'll come back. [He's crushing Peter to him again, unable to even keep him that far away.]

[ Loosing his words against Adam's shoulder, all he can reply with is a nod, as if he can actually force himself to believe the other man's words. But for the moment, he's willing to try. ]

I promise. [His hand wraps around the back of Peter's head, pressing him against Adam's heart.]

[identity profile] askedtobe.livejournal.com 2011-05-02 04:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Pulling himself in tighter against Adam, clinging desperately while he still has the chance, Peter finds his voice again, however wavering. ] Okay.
