006: LOCATION: CENTRAL//[i get a fever that's so hard to bear, you give me fever]

Nov 09, 2009 21:15

Max was on her bike, riding around the city. She wasn't headed anywhere in particular, she'd just had a sudden urge to get out of the Sanctuary. The desire for a change of scenery, to blow off some steam. And it had been a while since she'd been able to ride her bike without any dire consequences ( Read more... )

He honestly wasn't following Max around. Peter left early in the morning, taking advantage of one of Max's rare sleeping moments. He had returned back to the rubble that was once the Petrelli Mansion. It was still in rubble, and well, that pipe still had all his blood over it. That was a fun thing to explain to people why he had a bloody hole in his shirt.

Though he slipped off the tram as it pulled into the station. He glanced around before shoving his hands into his pockets and heading down the road. Peter wanted to get back into helping people. Even though there seemed to be hospitals here in Taxon... it didn't look like they needed him. All in all, he was feeling a bit useless the entire day. And would of rather have been left alone.

Max had gotten off her bike at that point and was doing a little walking herself, trying to clear her head since the bike ride hadn't quite been working. It hadn't been her intention to run into Peter, it was more like a happy mistake - he'd been gone most of the day, and even though she'd managed to keep herself distracted, she was very glad to see him.

"Peter?"

And he had just been thinking about maybe going to the hospital anyways. He raised his head slightly. Then his eyebrows followed. Now he was starting to wonder if Max's feline DNA allowed her to sniff him out anywhere.

"Hey, Max."

Hey now, it wasn't her fault that they kept running into each other.

She offered him a smile, which faded a bit when she saw how he looked - like there was something on his mind. "Everything all right?"

"Huh? Oh, yeah. Just... it's alright."

Peter didn't want to admit how useless he was feeling. It was bad enough that he could see everyone else had something to do. Claire was making friends, so was Nathan. Gabriel had a home here. Tracy was adjusting the best she could. It seemed like he was the only one without a place to go... or anything to do.

Don't worry, Peter, you'll have something to do soon enough~

She didn't really buy it and probably would have called him on it if her body didn't suddenly feel like its temperature had been cranked up about ten degrees. She frowned, pulling at the collar of her shirt and fanning herself a bit.

Momentarily distracted by her fanning herself, he frowned. Was she getting sick again? Alright, the first time wasn't her fault. Maybe she was actually sick this time. Being a mermaid when the weather changed and everything.

"You okay?" He put his hand up to her forehead to check before she could answer. "You're burning up, Max. Why are you outside?"

It wouldn't be weird to assume that she was - hell, she'd thought she was at first - except for the fact that she was designed not to get sick. Not with things like colds and the flu.

Her eyes closed when his hand brushed against his forehead and she leaned into the touch, almost involuntarily. She inhaled deeply and something fierce and warm swelled inside her - the brief touch wasn't enough, she wanted more -

And then she realized why she'd been so restless. Why she'd been feeling so warm.

Oh, no.

He frowned at her movements, other hand going to put his hand on her arm to try and steady her. Then he realized that she wasn't falling over. Peter shook his head and slapped himself mentally. Now he was trying to find people that were sick. Son of a bitch.

"You should head back to the Sanctuary and get some more rest."

Shit. Shit. Shit.

This wasn't good, it really wasn't good, but she wasn't moving away like she probably should have been. Her hands found his forearms, fingertips stroking his biceps through the fabric of his jacket.

He was solid. Steady. Warm. It felt good. Good enough that she was starting to forget why this was a problem.

"I'm okay," she said, her mouth curling into a slow smile.

"No, you're not." He insisted. "You're burning up. Fevers mean you're sick. You do know that stuff, right?" Even though it was supposed to sound teasing it came off as scolding. His eyes moved to her hands on his forearms, raising slightly as if to ask what she was up to.

"C'mon. We're taking you back."

"It's not a fever," she muttered under her breath, but then he mentioned taking her back. Back meant to the Sanctuary which meant to one of their rooms, which sounded like a fantastic idea to Max at the moment.

She shifted further into his personal space bubble, suddenly very interested in the line of his throat where it disappeared into the collar of his jacket.

He rolled his eyes. "And suddenly you're a doc...tor..." the personal bubble invasion didn't go unnoticed. It just made his eyebrows go up further. This was becoming very awkward very fast. Alright, no, it was past awkward. More worrying meant less awkward though. So he thought.

Peter sighed and turned, pulling her gently by the arm to walk towards the line for Osten.

"My bike's faster," she protested as he led her to the tram.

"You brought your bike?" He was clearly unimpressed. And not letting her drive back. Peter re-situated the bag around his shoulders and turned to the bike.

"I drove here." She took a deep breath, shaking her head and trying to come back to herself. "I told you, I'm not sick."
