Peter walked out of the bathroom glad to see the gaurdians were not there and went to his room. The gaurdians were facing a problem their leader was sick and they didn't know what to do. "We should just let him sleep it off," Drax stated. " but I bet there is something we can give him?" Rocket suggested. "I am groot" gamora thought to herself and went to their computer. " you're right there must be something we can give him to at least help him feel a bit better." So they searched for Terran medical illnesses that matched peters. But they ended up overlooking it and thinking peter may have cancer. Peter was in his room his arm over his head trying to ignore the headache he had. He accidentally slammed his arm out of frustration in his chest and regretted it. He held back a cry and tried to catch his breath. Fuck me .... he remembered that gamora had some ointment for bruises and cuts . What the hell peter thought.. he got over his pride he needed some relief so he was gonna ask gamora for some. He got up feeling his vertigo alter and caught himself against the wall. He shook it off and walked out. Drax walked into peter when they both turned on the hallway. Catching Pete of gaurd he had no time to prepare the fall and landed on his back knocking not his breath. " Quill! " Drax felt so much guilt and knelt to help peter up but peter held up jus hand gasping for breath cradling his stomach and curling in. Rocket and groot soon came as did gamora. Peter soon started a coughing fit causing him so much pain. Tears spilled from his eyes he didn't know why he was crying but he just was. Gamora rubbed his back with her hand as he tried to catch his breath and Drax on the other side with a hand on his shoulder. Rocket ran to get water and came back he handed t to peter. Who gratefully took it but his hands shook so bad that Drax took the cup and helped peter take sip. Peter closed his eyes and curled back over his headache has turned into an intense migraine. He felt Drax carefully lift him and felt his bed underneath him. He felt gamora a hand on his cheek then forehead. Peter croaked out her name and she quickly knelt to his side . " what is is peter? " " I need some of that cream you have for bruises please ..." gamora nodded but before she could get up rocket had the cream in his paws. Groot opened the jar and gamora took some. " where Peter?" Peter uncurled and tried to lift his shirt but Drax helped revealing the ugly bruise in his chest and stomach. "Hey what the fuck peter!" Rocket angry said," why didn't you tel us you were hurt!" Peter just moaned rockets voice was to loud. Rockets ears went back noting he was making peters headache worse. They noticed that yet he was still fit he has lost weight . Why would he keep this to himself they all were worried and had a horrible feeling in their stomach. With bthe help of Drax who removed his shirt he was able to sit up so the cream could be applied. Gamora carefully placed her hand over his bruises saying ," this is gonna sting but it will help tremendously,." Peter nodded and. Braced himself. He did good he only made one small groan the rest he was able to hold back he didn't want to show them how weak he was. Rocket was busy looking up remedies for peter so he can get better. Once done Drax layed Peter down and he sighed feeling the cream working already. Peter began to shiver and he curled up on to his side nuzzling into his pillow with a moan that just came out from his tired body and emotionally with everything that has occurred he felt so sad even with his friends around he felt sad. Rocket was concerned and tried to locate the closest planet with Terran remedies. Drax covered Peter with a. Blanket and walked out Needing to check the kitchen if he can find something for peter to drink and something to probably eat. Gamora and groot stayed by his bedside her hand smoothing out his curls on his head she felt the heat from his fever and the red in his cheeks. Peter let silent tears roll down his cheek making gamoras heart break into million of pieces groot nuzzled into peter hoping to bring some comfort to his ill friend. " ok Found it it a a day away but this planet has Terran medicine all we got to do is keep his fever down and help him drink lots of fluids and try to give him some food. " rocket said happily putting on the coordinates into the ships system feeling the ship turn around going to to its new destination. Gamora nodded and continued to run peter head. Rocket walked out he needed to fix something in the vents. Drax came back with a glass of water and some hot beverage . Gamor shook peter lightly. "Peter we have something for you to drink," Peter opened his eyes they were tired he was tired. He slowly got up aggravating his chest he started to have a coughing fit for ba good 5 min. There was so much worry in his friends. Peter saw rocket walk back in with a some thing bundles in his arms. Peter finally calmed down catching his breath great fully taking the water and sipping then eyed the drink Drax passed him. " it's a home remedy from my planet it should help with your cough for a while and let you rest." Peter usually loved the smelly of something sweet and fruity but right now it only made him nauseous. Rocket thean in unbundled a blanket and offered it to peter. " this should help with the chills I can monitor the heat with this so remote so you don't burn to a crisp." That made peter chuckle and it made everyone a bit happy to see that cocky smile he had plastered on his face all the time. He didn't want to hurt Drax feelings so he cautiously drank the tea. To his surprise it tasted really good not as sweet as it smelled. While he drank rocket was seated at the end of his bed working in something in his computer while he played some of peters tunes quietly while groot snuggled up to peters side. Drax was busy sharpening his blade on a chair near the door and gamora also drinking some tea and reading something she found from peters book case. Peter felt at peace even though he still felt like shit but everyone made him feel safe and loved. Peter was dozing off and almost dropped his cup of rockets reflexes weren't fast enough he caught the cup. Peter murmured a sort but his fever was coming back and he 2was becoming tired. Gamora brushed his hair back and let him lay down a small cough that was fallowed with tired moan. He murmured out a slurred thanks before diving into. Deep sleep.
