( he'd never thought about it that way. for his part, Peter has always liked the ocean, though he has been a little skittish about it since his spider-bite. turns out, he's unbelievably cut for a nerd, and people always stare and worse yet, ask questions. he's not really great about fibbing his way through such situations, so it's better to just avoid them.
though, he's just as much a sucker as Juvia, since Peter is also certain he'd still like visiting the beach if it meant showing Juvia it could be fun, water and all. ) We should go sometime. Maybe after sundown, so no sunburns. ( wouldn't help her on the pale front, though for the record, he doesn't think there's a problem with how she looks now. he would definitely say she looks perfect just as she is... actually, no he wouldn't. he'd never say that. friends don't talk like that, right???
even if it would probably result in them getting uncomfortably close for the sake of dance lessons if he had to move her every way he wanted her to, Peter resolutely shakes his head. ) Just follow the disaster the best you can. The best thing about dancing badly is that there is no such thing as too bad, right? It's all horrible. ( someone please save her, before it is too late... )
[ Juvia will definitely stare, cut nerdy body or otherwise, and probably make him even more miffed about going to the beach. While she won't ask questions, since she really knows everything she has to, she sure will inconspicuously put her grubby paws on him whenever fate will allow her.
The fact that he even brings up the idea of going makes her heart stir-- she'll have to go ask Leanne and Misa what swimsuit would leave the best impression..!!!! ] Juvia would love that. In fact, there's a cavern Juvia heard about that's supposed to be very romantic... [ Not the word they used to describe it, at all, but she feels safe enough to say it out loud without getting too embarrassed. She even sounds a little mischievous, if he listens to her tone hard enough.
But it shifts into something more understanding when bad dancing comes up again. ] We should go somewhere with less people. You are very.. [ A pause, because she wants to say gangly but she doesn't like how the word sounds. Or at least, sounds when she wants to describe Peter. She chews on her lip for the few seconds she takes to think over her choice in words. ] ..Big, after all. But are you sure, though? Juvia, also, follows orders very well.
( see, this is all the more reason to go when it is pitch dark out. no sunburns, no having to look at each other, everything will be just perfect! though, may the record show that Peter would probably not mind the touching. that is somehow less embarrassing than the gawking and uncomfortable questions... especially when it is done in the dark. everything is easier when one does it in the darkness... why is that?
Peter, bless his heart, has no idea how a cave could possibly be romantic. he assumes Juvia is misunderstanding the concept, because she does manage to see romance in almost everything. after they got accidentally married, one would think Peter Parker would learn to be more trusting of her romance detection, though being right on the marriage thing does not make her right on everything. Juvia was uniquely gifted in finding the romantic inclinations in even the most mundane of situations, after all. despite her slightly devious tone, he doesn't see too much reason to be concerned. how bad can a romance cave be? ) A romantic cavern, huh? Is it anything like a Tunnel of Love? ( why would you ask this, Peter... for one thing she probably has no idea what that is and for another, it sounds horribly dirty. but it's too late to take it back, it has already been said.
Peter is a great many things, however, one of the things he isn't is completely humorless about his own ridiculousness. big, huh? okay, that's fair. he laughs, shaking his head. ) Maybe that's a good idea. Less potential victims on the sidelines. ( and, more importantly, less people around to see what a horrible dancer he is. he has enough pride that he'd like to keep that on the downlow if possible. )
[ Probably because Peter won't have to endure the intense stares and (strangely) complex facial expressions she will make if they were ever Truly secluded in a cavern. It's terrifying how simple it is for her to focus all her attention on one thing, and sadly, she'd want that thing-- Peter in this case-- to be bathed in light. Blinding, super hot light. She will endure every awkward hand fumble or conversation starter if it means she can stare at his face. His hair, too. Mostly his face, maybe his arms. ]
No. It's vastly different. A romantic cavern is like getting washed up on the beach after a terrible and heart wrenching shipwreck only to discover we are the only two survivors. It also makes a very cute picnic spot. [ He is right though about both those things. Her actual talent of making everything romantic and cute, and also having no idea what the Tunnel of Love is. But the name alone gives her enough of an idea to pass judgment. ] But if Peter wanted to go in the Tunnel of Love, Juvia will not protest. [ Granted, if he wanted to go anywhere she wouldn't have an issue with it, but she thinks he already knows that enough to where she doesn't have to explain how much of a puppy she is. ] And good.
Then we can either claim a balcony, or go to the garden. [ She says, all the while packing an absurd amount of food onto a plate for him to eat later. At least she's not shoving it into her purse? ] Which would Peter prefer?
( he's really going to have to convince Juvia some things are better in the dark. Peter is too easily ashamed to be automatically at ease in a perfectly lit heavy petty session. in the dark it's just easier and your imagination and senses go hand in hand. then again, considering how strong his senses are, he might be cheating a tiny little bit on that one. okay, if not pitch darkness, then limited light??? they gotta work their way up to fully lit makeouts, if that is Juvia's kink.
okay, so, that is definitely not what he was expecting when she hit him with the phrase, "a romantic cavern". a tourist attraction, sure. a landmark that she'd found particularly striking, perhaps. being marooned doesn't sound at all romantic to him, to be honest, though if it had to happen Juvia would be one of the few people he'd trust along with him. not really for the potential romance, though... Peter isn't quite as gifted at spotting it as Juvia, it seems. ) I'm totally on for picnics, though let's avoid getting marooned if we can.
( just to be on the safe side... he's not exactly gifted at survivalism, Juvia, he would be the weak link in that situation.
since she doesn't ask him to explain what a Tunnel of Love is, he doesn't. she might be disappointed with the concept if she knew what it really was, though the likelihood of one existing on this planet was limited. she might be better off not knowing, her mental image was probably more promising than the real thing. Peter does not presume the plate she's preparing is for him, so he is mildly impressed by her appetite as he contemplates the options and decides, ) Uh, balcony? If you want? Do you want me to carry that for you?
[ If he really wanted to try and talk her down from keeping the light bill up from having the lamp on, it wouldn't take a lot.. Even if she asserted herself, and her opinion by extension, she has a rather big soft spot for Peter. She'd probably forgo her Weird Kinks just so he can have the comfort of the dark.
And sorry Peter.. there's just something inherently romantic about having to depend on each other for survival and being forced to bond through their trauma and fall in love. Deep, deep, deep in love. Okay, she doesn't say that part out loud... only implies it.
She smiles, perking up at the idea of packing a lunch for him. Something special for him to eat.. made with her own hands. And the promise of a lovey-dovey atmosphere, the lovey-dovey atmosphere she will definitely take advantage of. ] Yes.. Juvia will happily protect Peter from any intruders who wish to interrupt our private time together.. alone. [ No marooning on her watch, especially near any stray waters. Regardless, she looks a bit too satisfied with his answer, smug even.
The expression lasts on her face even as she gives a cursory sweep over the food she hasn't touched, yet. ] The balcony is secluded as well. [ A good choice, by extension..... ] And please, if you could. [ She gives a nod, briefly looking up from the table to him before gently putting the tray in his hands. That doesn't stop her from plucking one more treat off the table and onto their plate. ] Did you want something sweet to drink? Or the same thing you had before? Water, perhaps?
( truth be told, Peter is probably guilty of the same at this point. if Juvia professed a preference for light, he probably would be embarrassed yet not particularly able to refuse her. truth be told he's not exactly shy, he and Gwen had done their fair share of making out with lights on (with him half naked at that) and he hadn't thought much about it. maybe the trick is to just get on with it because after the make out starts he forgets about the mood lighting pretty quickly.
he shakes his head at the idea she will protect him from intruders on their private time. only Juvia would be worried about such a possibility. Peter would possibly comment on it if Juvia did not balance the overly full tray of food in his hands, leaving him to focus on that instead. wow, she must be hungry... ) Let's not with the last thing I had. ( he doesn't think this evening will go better if he spends it tipsy. he might be part spider, yet his mutation doesn't stop him from being a bit of a lightweight, even if his system toxins quickly. )
I'm okay. Really. ( he thinks there's a good chance his nerves would result in him spilling it or dropping it or something even worse that he can't totally imagine at the moment. in fact holding the tray might not have been a good idea either, so hopefully his spidey senses save him on this one and he doesn't end up turning their night into a disaster from throwing it at himself or even worse, her. ) Let's go, before anyone steals our spot. ( secluded sounds nice, considering how packed the gala is. truth be told, he's already ready for a bit of quiet. )
