"All Time High"


All I wanted was a sweet distraction for an hour or two

Had no intention to do the things we've done

On the flight to New York, it overcame her. Losing Zach, her mom, her brother, her image of her father, cheerleading, Union Wells High, Union Wells, all of it; it was so much on her shoulders. All she went to him for was a little comfort, nothing more.

Funny how it goes with love; when you don't look, you find

But then, we're two of a kind; we move as one

He'd been so warm and so understanding. He didn't even blink twice at her crawling onto his lap in the chair on the private plane Nathan arranged, and even put an arm around her waist as she tried valiantly to dissolve into his body, pressing her head against his chest. She had not been expecting the warm feeling coming from the area his arm touched.

We're an all time high

We'll change all that's gone before

Doin' so much more than falling in love

On an all time high

We'll take on the world and win

So hold on tight

Let the flight begin

I don't want to waste a waking moment, I don't want to sleep

I'm in so strong and so deep

The effect of touch was incredible. It filled her with warmth, calmed all her worries, and gave him two impulses; the first to rest his head on hers, the other to tilt her chin up and kiss her.

And so are you

He struggled to repress the last one.

In my time I've said these words before but now I realize

My heart was telling me lies

As he held her close, similar impulses overcame her. Impulses to do what he wanted to do, and tell him what he wanted to tell her. She did not resist hers.

For you they're true

As she kissed him, she whispered, "I love you."

We're an all time high

We'll change all that's gone before

Doin' so much more than falling in love

On an all time high

We'll take on the world and win

So hold on tight

Let the flight begin

When they broke for air, she said it again. "I love you, Peter."

So hold on tight

Let the flight begin

And this time, he did not resist the urge to say it back, putting aside his worries that Hiro, Ando, Nathan and Isaac would hear. "I love you, too, Claire."

We're an all time high
