Sylar slept more soundly with her curled up at his side than he had...pretty much ever, really. He slept through the whole night, and alot more soundly then he normally did. It was...a nice change, to say the very least. Usually, he just slept for a few hours before getting up and going back on the road again.

Soon enough though, the sun was shining through the blinds of the motel room, rousing him. He yawned and turned in bed, gradually opening his eyes. He was so comfortable like this, he just allowed himself to lie in bed for a few minutes.

Finally, he pushed himself up and got out of bed, making his way to the bathroom. He couldn't help but remember Elle's comments about showering, and he was inclined to agree. He did smell a little, and he was rather sweaty and sticky still from the activities of the night before. So with that in mind he turned on the shower and stepped in.

He would have to make do with just bar soap, as Elle had thrown the body wash during their argument last night. But he couldn't even get himself to care about that.

Elle was naturally a deep sleeper, and she didn't awaken until the shower running pulled her from a restful, dreamless sleep. Maybe there was nothing particularly special about that. But Elle would be lying if she'd never ached for someone's arms as she fell asleep, just knowing someone cared about her enough not to let go.

She awoke to that same thought with a smile, for once not cursing the rising sun. She even welcomed it. After a moment, she rolled onto her back and stretched like a cat with a soft mewl, and then padded into the bathroom quietly. She reached for their shared toothbrush to rid herself of morning breath, liberally applying toothpaste. "Have room for one more?" she asked sweetly, and then started brushing.
