Sylar had been surprised, when Adam had leaned to kiss him. He should have expected it, he knew, for between what the other man had asked of him and his own need to connect, all the clues had been there, but still. It didn't change facts. And as such, he sat entirely too straight for a moment, breath drawn through his nose, sharply, not bothering to kiss back.
The surprise was quick to pass, however, and then he was kissing back.
He was more delicate than he had ever been with Mohinder, almost hesitant. Not that he didn't want this - the connection, the warmth - more he had gotten used to having his things fall apart in his hands. Breaking like china dolls, no matter how careful he was. He knew that Adam wouldn't crumble to dust as surely as everything else in his life would, could still hear him ticking to confirm this, but he couldn't help it.
It didn't stop him from looking almost disappointed when Adam pulled away, though.
