Soft (Peter Quill)
I just got done settling up a deal when I got a message from Quill.
Starboy: heeyyyyyy I see you're on the same planet as me
I look around and see him slouching in the corner, he waves at me as I head over to him.
"What're you up to?"
"Reeeeeelax, I finished my business earlier I'm here for fun" he slumped his arm on my shoulders and I grab his waist.
"Have you been drinking"
"Well duh I told you I was here for fun" he pulled away from me and started walking off, "if you're gonna be a bore I'll wait until you're ready to have fun"
I sighed at him and headed outside to meet my next client.
After I get done with 'working' it's gotten really dark, I wonder what Peters doing.
I start heading towards the bar I left earlier, when I get there someone tells me he's at another down the street. I walk over to it and realize it's more of a club. I step in the line since it's not too long, after 20 minutes they let me in.
The whole club is flashing a lot like the ones from Earth, so I walk over to the bar.
"Can I get a phoenix, no ice" I shout at the bartender and they start mixing my drink. I look around but I still don't see him anywhere. The bartender hands me my drink and I ask him if he's seen him, but no luck.
I take my drink and make my way to the corner of the club, there's a staircase I didn't notice earlier. I drink the rest out of my glass and set it on a table, I'm so glad it wasn't a private balcony. I go up the stairs and notice there's a permanent small glow under the booths. I guess this is the talking area but it's just as loud up here. In the corner I think I see him so I start walking over, but before I make it I see Quills body fly out of the booth.
"Dammit" Quill shouts and before I can say anything he gets up and socks the other person in the jaw. The other person gets up and starts beating Quill on the floor.
"GET OFF HIM" I kick the larger man off of Quill and shoot him with a modified stun gun.
I yank Quill up to his feet and help him walk down the stairs before someone comes up to throw us out. We make it to the door before there are people running towards us.
"Where's your rocket boot thing?" I try to run with him but he's still limping.
"Right pocket" he groans and I hit the button.
His body propels forward and I do my best to steer and hold on, to get through the door. We make it outside and I let go. I press the button for my rocket boots and grab his hand to take him to my ship.
We've gotten down the street and I barley see the people who had tried to chase us.
"Quill I'm taking you to my ship"
He doesn't respond and the rest of the way to my ship we were both silent. We turn off our gear before I open up my ship and head inside.
"Please go to the bathroom I'll get the med kit" I point to the right and he walks down the short corridor. He's not limping anymore I think it was mostly his stomach and chest that got hit....other than his face.
After I've grabbed my kit I go inside the bathroom to see him sitting on the toilet. He has a really bad black eye and his lip is cut, it looks like someone hit him more on his face but it won't be darker until later.
"Please take off your shirt"
"I knew you'd wanna to see that" he leans forward and winces while he gets it over his head. There's a few big bruises on his ribs but no cuts.
"Just stay still you know the drill" I've done this a few times before, patching him up after he did something stupid. But he's never been this bad around me. I clean up his face and try to wrap some bandages on his ribs to keep pressure on them. He winces and I get mad.
"Why the fuck did that happen?? What would have happened if I hadn't been there this time asshole!?"
"But you were there so it's fiiiine i-"
"It's definitely not fine what the fuck happened"
He sighs "I was just flirting with his sister but apparently it wasn't his sister and he hit me and you saved me"
"Your big fat mouth is going to get you in more trouble than I can handle you dick"
"I know" he sounded kinda sad but I didn't feel bad, I can't keep acting like I don't care about him especially when he doesn't care about himself.
"You can stay on my couch in my main room, I'm going to bed" I walk off before he can respond.
When I get into my personal room I change into comfortable clothes and lay down.
I cannot sleep. It's been three hours since I left him in the bathroom and the only thing I'm close to is crying.
I throw my blankets off myself to walk into my main room. I see him on the couch and kick it. It takes a few times before he wakes up, but he leans up and opens up his good eye, "can I help?"
"Come to bed with me, and don't make it weird"
He gets up and I walk back into my bedroom, he comes in and closes the door. We both get on the bed next to each other so I lean over to put my head on his chest. He stops me and grabs my face
"I don't want you to make this weird Peter"
"I just want to see your face" he's still drunk so I don't say anything about him holding me like this.
He lets go of my face and I finally lean on his chest gently. I hear him drift off before I end up passing out.
When I wake up we're still in the same position but my leg is also on top of his. He must have already been awake because when I started stretching he did the same.
"Thank you"
"Just don't die"
He huffed and started to rub his hands down my back and sides. I lean up to look at his face, it isn't as bad as I thought it would be. He'll have the black eye for a bit but the other bruises aren't bad and will probably go away in a week.
"For someone who doesn't like me you're one of the only people that's been there for me" he spoke up and I smile. I run my hand through his hair and yawn.
"Well maybe I do like you" he smiled too and I leaned in to kiss his cheek.
"Well I'll think of a good ravager name for you, not as cool as mine though"
He leaned in and kissed me gently on the lips, I kissed back softly to not hurt him. We pull apart before I wrap my arms around his body.
"Just make sure to stay with me and I'll be fine" we both know he's not gonna be just with me forever but I want to be selfish for as long as I can.
"Just make sure to patch me up when I'm stupid" I nod my head, it's easier than telling him he's always stupid.
