↳ PROFILE PICTURE:

[text] You accepted it? Right?

Peetr opened his eyes, lying on his bed and clueless of what time it was. He couldn't remember the last time he had slept this well. The previous night he had spent it with Claire watching Transformers and, apparently, Megan Fox and giant fridges were enough to exhaust him until he passed out on his bed right after the film ended. It was morning now, he deduced as he walked around the house. It was odd he didn't listen to any sound that indicated someone else was there too, where the hell was Claire? Her bedroom door was opened, though. "Claire?" He stepped in expecting not to find her there —maybe she'd left the house, maybe she had gone shopping.— but instead he soon could descry Claire's small figure covered by nothing but a towel. His eyes didn't shut immediately.

Despite having the day off, Peter managed to sneak out of the house in the before the morning ended right after leaving something for Claire with a small note on it. He stayed outside as long as possible spending some hours at his own apartment, he showered, tried —unsuccessfully— to get some sleep. But no matter what he did, Claire was always in his mind and couldn't concentrate in anything but the memory of the kisses they shouldn't have shared. And as stated the night before, this wasn't something irrelevant, it was a big deal so after midday Peter returned to the Petrelli's house. Angela was still outside the city, managing Claire's interviews and the press from her business trip. And for once Peter wished his mother was there to stop him from having to face Claire, but then again this had to be done. "Hello...?" He called out loud as closing the door behind him.

Some time had passed since the Claire jumped off the Ferris Wheel, since she changed it all, but Peter was still convinced the world wasn't ready for them so he would always try to keep a low profile. That implied not being able to visit his niece, even less than he was before. Peter was glad to see her again, though, no matter how painful the outcome might be, he showed it with a faint smile. "I didn't know you were in New York."
