I'll just be over here in this corner scrubbing my brain with a Brillo pad...
I'm with Jessica.

Mohinder/Sylar is a very popular slash pairing in the fandom (with the portmanteau being, god help me, Mylar). I don't really get the appeal, myself. I get the love for ambiguous characters, but Sylar is pretty much the definition of flat-out evil. I don't see how you can build a healthy relationship with someone who eats brains.

We don't know that he eats brains. Perhaps he only needs to fondle them.

Still not healthy.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Well, to be fair, Mohinder really doesn't use his ...

I was gonna say, from that angle, Mohinder's probably the least at-risk-from-Sylar character out there.

Actually, that's kinda awsome.

Which may be the attraction - forever pursuing what you can never have.
Or proabably what never existed is more like it.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
But it's not, apparently, unless I'm misunderstanding Mohinder. He keeps saying things like "you would have been" or "you very nearly were" in reference to being dead. I suppose he might mean "permanently," but nothing in the dialogue specifically confirms that they're actually being brought back from the dead.
Maya might just be a case of resuscitation—flatlining, but her cells didn't have time to die before she was infused with the blood. Bennet, however, had a visibly substantial part of his brain destroyed and was also shown with the milky cataract eye of room temperature corpsedom.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I think it would be alarming to the average person to know they were dead and resuscitated from being dead for 10 hours through someone else's blood.
So it probably is Mohinder showing a bedside manner of sorts to tell people "you were nearly dead."
