Your eyes open groggily with the bright sun shining in through the large, glass doors to the balcony. You can feel the warmth radiating off of Peter's body from behind you. Your legs are tangled up in his and his big, strong arms are wrapped around you, pulling you close to him. You wish you could stay like this forever, but there is something you know you have to do.

You flip over slowly so you're now facing Peter. His eyes are closed, deep in a calming sleep, and the corners of his mouth are upturned in a small smile. He's never been happier and he's never looked this peaceful before. You trace your fingers around his jawline until you reach his soft, brown hair. You push your fingers through it and play with it, waking him up in bliss. His tired, green eyes meet yours and his grin widens upon seeing your gorgeous face lying next to him in the morning after the greatest night of his life.

He moans happily at the feeling of you running a hand through his hair. "Good mornin', beautiful," he whispers.

"Hey there, Star-Lord," you chuckle softly. "Do you know how late we slept in? It's literally the afternoon."

"We can just spend the rest of the day in bed together, you know, fuck a few more times, then go back to sleep at night." He wiggles his eyebrows.

"How did I end up being so crazy about you?" you ask jokingly. He brings his lips to yours and passionately kisses you, a kiss of pure happiness. His hand goes to the back of your neck and pushes up against your hair. You fall deeply into the kiss, never wanting him to pull away. That way, you wouldn't have to talk to him about leaving.

"Can I ask you something?"

"Always," you nod.

"Have you...have you ever done this before?" he asks, clearly nervous.

"What do you mean?"

He smirks cooly and brings a hand to your face, caressing your cheek. "Ever made love with a legendary outlaw that saved the galaxy?" he mutters with a wink.

"I think you forget that I saved the galaxy too," you add, smacking his arm with a laugh.

"Okay, okay, I promise I have a real question." Peter hesitates as he thinks over his question for you. "Have you ever been with someone you have feelings for...or even loved?"

You think back to all of the dates you've been on and all of the people you've slept with. They were mostly Xandarians and even a few Terrans that managed to find their way into space as you and Peter had. You had fallen in love with a few of them but never like this. "I mean...I guess. I've definitely had feelings before and I was in love with some of the people I dated in the past but I don't think it's ever felt like this."

He smiles brightly at your words. "Like earth-shattering sex?"

You just roll your eyes and laugh. "What about you, you cocky son of a bitch, have you ever been in love before?"

Peter hesitates, his anxiousness returning. "I can't say that I have, no."

"Really?"

"Well, yeah. Y/N, you're the first girl to truly understand me. You laugh at all of my jokes and you love my personality, regardless of all of my flaws," he says, making your heart swell up with even more love. "I used to just flirt with a girl and spend the night with her only for one of us to leave the next morning. I've never taken the time to actually know someone to fall in love with them, and I am so glad I took that chance with you because you're perfect for me. I mean, I don't deserve you in the slightest but you chose to stick around anyway and I couldn't be happier."

You take his sweet words and reply with a kiss. "I adore you, Peter. You are by far the greatest guy I have ever met."

He just lays there for a minute, staring at you and smiling. "Y/N, I think we should stay here."
