( he's lucky that he missed the worst of it, putting the nest of blankets and pillows she's foisted off on him onto the couch (loveseat. let's call a spade a spade. it's not a couch, it's too damn small). when he turns around Juvia looks extremely red, and Peter does not assume it has anything to do with the questionable thing he just said, and is instead worried that her fever is getting worse.
he is starting to come closer to try and check her temperature when Juvia announces her needs to leave, suddenly, and then bolts to her room and even locks the door, leaving a trail of steam in her wake. it's the steam that clues him into what he said, and luckily she's not there to see him scrub hands over his face with a slight groan in the agony of his own shame.
Peter flops down on her couch to contemplate the level of disaster of the comment, and perhaps if he had more energy he'd have decided to go tell Juvia he didn't mean it, or apologize, or something equally stupid. as it is, he ends up falling asleep despite himself, which is truly the best thing for both of them. and true to his promise, when he wakes he does check in on Juvia before he goes on his way...
luckily, this time without mentioning he'd carry her to bed if she wasn't careful. )
i think your tag actually made me cry ... they are the worst
