Anam Cara || Peter Quill [O.H]

Things didn't work out like Khylen hoped it would, it would've gone perfectly if Gamora hadn't gotten trapped and then subsequently blown up by Nebula. Which meant everyone was staring at her floating body, and Khylen had a feeling that Peter was about to do something bad. "Quill, come on. Her body mods should keep her alive a couple more minutes, but there's nothing we can do for her." Rocket told Peter through the comms, but Peter shook his head quickly. "He's right Peter, these pods aren't meant to be out here and In a second, we're gonna be in the same boat." Khylen squeezed Peter's shoulder trying to give him pressure to focus on.

They watched as Rocket turned around and started to fly away. "Look, I know you like her but she's gone." Khylen wasn't helpful at saying things to people in a period of mourning, that was more Macy's thing but it got a reaction because he huffed before he leaned back in the captain's chair. "Seriously, that was the best you could do," Macy said into the comms making Khylen crack a smile, he wasn't sure if he was supposed to hear that or not but he did. "Damn it, I don't like Gamora. I did but she told me she only liked women so I backed down, and in fact, I like two others and I kinda did all along and I don't why I'm telling you this instead of trying to save Gamora because that's the right thing to do." Khylen tried to not get his hopes up when he heard that Peter liked two people, but he can't help but think of the odds of that happening.

"Quill?" Khylen questioned as he watched Peter tap on some of the controls in confusion. "Yondu! Yondu. This is Quill! My coordinates are 227K324." Khylen's eyes went wide as he realized what Quill was doing. "Peter! What are you doing?" Macy yelled out in a begging manner into the comms. But Peter carried on like he never even heard her. "Just outside Knowhere, if you're there, come get me. I'm all yours." Khylen watched hopelessly as Peter hit the button on his helmet and it materialized around his face.

Khylen shook his head and sent a prayer to the gods before he followed Peter out into the atmosphere. "Khylen! What are you doing!" Macy yelled into the comms. "I'll be okay," Khylen whispered out knowing that the comms would pick it up, Peter floated to a stop around Gamora and turned to look at Khylen surprised who started to make his way towards him.

He felt the tingle of the frost that began to form around his skin, but unlike people like Peter or Macy it didn't restrict his lungs it made it so he was able to breathe a little easier but it still hurt to take full breaths. "Please, don't be ridiculous you two." Macy pleaded with the two of them, Khylen closed his eyes as he lifted his hand and took his comm out.

Khylen watched as Peter took off his helmet piece and slipped it over Gamora's ear so she could start getting some breaths. Almost immediately as he did that, Khylen could start seeing the frost build up on his skin. He gently touched Peter's arm silently asking him, and when he gave what Khylen thought looked like a nod he pressed their lips together breathing some of his air into Peter's. They only separated when they could see lights shining on their bodies, Khylen tried to not show the sadness at being separated on his face as the two of them turned towards the ship that was in front of them that the one Khylen figured was Yondu was piloting.

Khylen could feel the pull as the beam drew them in, Khylen wanted to fight it but he knew that it was no use. A little hatch automatically opens up and the three of them are dropped they rolled out onto the grated floor that Khylen could feel was already starting to dig into his back. "I'm regretting this," Khylen commented as he watched Peter try to catch his breath. "What, going after me? Or kissing me?" Peter retorted as he let go of Gamora and put a hand on his heart.

"Neither, just regret getting caught." Whatever Peter was going to reply died on his lips when Gamora started letting out some coughs, he stayed his distance as he watched Peter look over at her to make sure he was okay. "Quill, Khylen, what happened?" Gamora tried to take some slow deep breaths. "We couldn't let you die." Peter looked back at Khylen who nodded slightly in agreement. "Plus, it was incredibly heroic of both of us," Khylen says with a smirk on his face, he watches as Gamora rolls her eyes and slowly pushes herself into a sitting position. "Where's the orb?"

Khylen rubbed the back of his neck before deciding to tell the truth. "Well, they got the Orb." Gamora's eyes widen as she snapped her head towards Khylen. "What?" Khylen didn't get a chance to respond because the door opened to show 10 crew members holding guns toward the three of them making Khylen bang his head against the metal of the ship and let out a sigh, he hoped that Macy wouldn't take to long in rescuing him, because he had a feeling the three of them had something to talk about.
