Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (Peter Quill x Reader)

Chapter One

You've been a Guardian of the Galaxy for two months now. There has been a lot of time spent hanging out on the Milano listening to music with the team because everyone has grown very fond of all the mixtapes you and Peter keep on the ship. During missions, everyone hums along. A lot of your time is also spent chatting with Gamora about exploring space and the people you meet along the way. It feels nice to have a sister again, especially now that the two of you are free from Thanos. You and Rocket have grown insanely close as time has passed, cracking jokes off of one another and constantly laughing. He considers you his closest friend on the team. More often than not, however, you're with Peter or Gamora as Rocket builds bombs and Drax does whatever it is he does. Together, you have been working to raise the adorable Groot who appears to be a toddler now. He is very fond of you and Gamora as mother figures for him, while Rocket is obviously like a father. Yet, that doesn't stop the adorable creature from spending time with you and Peter, pointing out how you are like his parents. This always makes the other Guardians laugh, suggesting that the two of you act like a couple.

They aren't wrong.

You and Peter are practically the best of friends at this point, bonding over what you remember back on Terra and continuing to share your music. When time allows, you watch old '80s movies together and sometimes you find yourself even falling asleep in his arms for the night. But, it never seems to go farther then best friends. Well, other than the copious amounts flirting. The flirting is what makes you go crazy. Peter loves to smirk and wiggle his eyebrows at you after making some snarky comment about your body or the two of you getting it on. You occasionally play along, giving in to his player antics. But, a majority of the time you will try and hide your blush, not knowing how much he loves the way he creates a redness on your cheeks. This obvious sexual tension is what the other Guardians love to make clear. Whether it's Rocket making fun of Peter for checking you out or Gamora giggling as you and Peter flirt, they try to make it known to you that you are both on the same page.

It's true, you two really do want each other, badly. But, you still refuse to give into him. You know his past with women and you don't want to become some girl he fucks one night then doesn't give a second look to. You want to mean more to him. You want him to feel what you feel. Deep down, you know he does. There is a distinct connection between you two with more meaning than his one night stands. You see the way he looks at you when you're singing or dancing like an idiot and how his eyes linger on your exposed body when you all have to change quickly between missions. You've even noticed how he only seems to flirt with you now, ignoring the girls who throw themselves at him when you're at a bar. Peter made a promise to you after defeating Ronan, and he hasn't brought anyone back to the Milano since Bereet. He's changing, reserving his playboy comments and flirty banter only for you. Although you hope he keeps his promise, the lack of women is honestly a huge surprise to you considering how the man can only think about sex. He is truly proving himself to you. He is proving that he wants a real relationship. This makes you happy, but that happiness from Peter displaying how he only wants you doesn't seem to mask the fear you have of being worthless to him after one night together. So, you refuse to confess how you feel. You just go along with the innocent flirting.

When you and Peter aren't drooling over each other, however, you and the rest of the crew are working mildly hard to protect the galaxy and make units. Such as today, where you have been hired to kill some beastly alien from eating the batteries on a golden planet full of golden people with sticks up the asses.

Metaphorically, of course.

THE SOVEREIGN

Several cracks occur in the sky above you, signaling everyone to prepare for battle. Peter scans the area with a tracker, watching the surrounding area for the approaching alien.
