I really like this. It's a very interesting take on Mohinder and Sylar's relationship, in a way that still keeps them in character but allows for something far more intimate between them. I like how you detail the difference between academic smarts and social smarts. Mohinder makes very difficult choices and they don't always serve him well. In the case of Sylar, however, it's a decision he can't explain to others but does so almost instinctively, in a way that's so natural to him.
Love the idea of them still going through the motions of battling each other while knowing full well that's simply the necessary foreplay. They both want this. The attitude and emotions are real but also facades until it's all stripped away.

Very nicely done.
