Hooked On A Feeling (Peter Quill x Black!OC)-COMPLETED

The Fourth Of July (We're All Gonna Die)

July 4-St, Charles, Missouri

The Missouri heat surrounded you the moment you stepped into the backyard. Lucy ran around your feet while you walked through the grass. You brought the tray of hotdogs and burgers to the grill for Peter to cook. He gave you an appreciative smile and kissed your cheek.

"Where'd you get this from?" He asked as he gestured to your yellow sundress.

"I bought it yesterday. You like it?"

"I don't think you want me to answer that."

"Don't say anything gross when my parents get here."

"How can I not when you look like that?"

You rolled your eyes and ignored his comment.

"They should be here any minute." You told him.

"God, I'm so nervous."

"It's just my parents."

"I don't exactly have a good track record with my girlfriend's parents."

"They'll love you. Just maybe don't mention the fact that your ex Father-in-law caused the murder of half the universe."

"Noted."

"Grandma and Grandpa are here!" Riley yelled from inside the house.

She led them through the house and out to the backyard. You walked over to your parents and hugged them both.

"Hi, Mom. Dad."

"We missed you, Roxanne."

"We hardly hear from you."

"I know. I've just been busy."

"I see that." Your mother said as she gestured to Peter. "You gonna introduce me?"

"Mom and Dad, this is Peter Quill."

"It's very nice to meet you, Peter." Your father said.

"It's very nice to meet you too, Sir. Roxanne has told me a lot about you."

"He's so handsome." She whispered to you.

"You're way too old for him."

"Not necessarily-" You cut him off with a slap to his arm. "Ouch!"

"That's what you get for flirting with my mother."

"Got it. Jesus."

"You guys hungry?" You asked.

"Starving."

"Let's eat then!"

💫

Peter stood in front of you acting out a movie as you sat on the couch and guessed.

"Feet?" He nodded. "Lose? Losing?" He nodded again. "Footloose!"

"Yes!"

"We won! Again!"

"Sore winners." Riley sighed.

"Well, I think it's time for me to turn in." Jason said as he slowly got up.

"But we're still playing." The younger girl said.

"I know. I'm just a little tired."

"Okay."

"Come give me a hug, kiddo."

She got up and hugged the older man.

"Night, Grandpa."

"Goodnight, kid. I love you."

"I love you too."

"Pete."

He opened his arms and tightly hugged his grandson.

"You alright, Grandpa?"

"Yeah. I'm okay."

"Alright. Sleep tight."

"I love you."

"Love you."

You took him into his room and got him ready for bed. You helped him into the bed and pulled the covers over him.

"Roxy?"

"Yeah?"

"Thank you. Thank your for everything."

"What is it?"

"What is what?"

"You sound like you're saying goodbye."

"I'm just letting you know that I love you."

"I love you too, Jason. Get some sleep."

"Night."

"Goodnight."

💫

"Mom! Peter! Get up!"

You and Peter quickly sat up and rubbed your eyes before getting out of bed. Riley was standing in the doorway urging you to follow her. You went with the girl as she led you to Jason's room.

"What's wrong?"

"He's not waking up!"

"What?"

Peter ran to his bedside and placed his hand on his shoulder. He shook the older man and waited for a response.

"Peter." You whispered as you pulled him away from the bed. "I'm sorry."

"He can't be gone."

"We knew this was gonna happen."

"He had another 2 months!"

"He's gone, baby. I'm so sorry."
