Starlight | Peter Quill

✦ 7 | the last part of us ✦

SOMETIMES WHEN YOU LIVE in a place where you can look at the galaxy anytime, you think you've seen the wonder of the universe. But we're just a speck wishing we have all the time in the world to grasp the concept of beauty.

Every step and turns I do, there seems to be a new thing just waiting to be discovered. The sight I front of me is one of them.

"What is it?"

"It's called Knowhere. The severed head of an ancient celestial being. Be wary headed in, rodent. There are no regulations whatsoever here." Gamora responded to Drax once we're headed in.

"Hundreds of years ago, The Tivan Group sent workers in to mine the organic matter within the skull. Bone, brain tissue, spinal fluid. All rare resources, highly valued in black markets across the galaxy." She explains further before we get out of the ship.

"It's dangerous and illegal work, suitable for outlaws." After stepping out, we walk to our destination.

"Well, I came from a planet of outlaws." Peter starts. "Billy the kid, Bonnie and Clyde, John Stamos." I was looking around when he stopped next to me. "Don't ruin my storytelling experience."

"How could I ruin your experience when I don't even know what you're talking about?" I said with a sarcastic smile as his face change in realization.

"Right."

"Sounds like a place which I would like to visit." Drax said. "Yeah, you should."

As I follows my eyes trailing on the surrounding, I was startled by a sudden bump to my legs pulls my gaze down. My heart suddenly feels warm and I couldn't stop my smile from making its way to my lips.

"Hey there." I said after crouching down to meet a group of children with their pure innocent eyes. "Can you spare any units?" One of them asked adorably making me chuckle a little.

"Unfortunately I'm also broke." I said as my smile grew bigger hearing their cute giggles.

Here I am, seeing what I wish I had. I wish I remember the time where there aren't a single care sitting on your shoulder, where you enjoy life because you haven't understand it yet.

Where I have a purpose other than to kill.

I stands up as they begin to run and my eyes met with Peter's alongside his soft smile. I return his smile with mine like it was programmed to do so.

"Your buyer's in there?" Rocket asked as we stopped in front of some sort of club. "We are to wait here for his representative."

"This is no respectable establishment. What do you expect to do while we wait here?"

Well, Drax got his answer when he stumbled upon putting bets on creature to see who wins. I was never one to enjoy socializing, let alone join the ruckus inside. So here I am starring at the galaxy.

"So, you didn't lie, huh?"

A voice startled me making me turn. There he was, standing with a smug smile holding out my tape.

"Is that-"

"Your mix? Yup. Saw it lying at the table, the bastard kept it too." He said as he walks toward me. My grin could no longer be contain. "Here."

I squeeze his hand like he just saved my life. "Thank you." I say with the biggest smile I have ever mustered.

"Easy. Be more excited and you'll burst." I chuckled as I put my tape where it belongs.
