Not so secret relationship
Your eyes starting opening and you rapidly closed them as the rays of the morning sun hit your face through the window. With a frustrated whine, you started rainsing your arms to stretch them but quickly realized it was impossible, as one of them was stuck. Turning your eyes to see what the issue seemed to be, you ended up face to face with the back of a blue head and all your frustration disappeared. With a smile, you bent done to leave a kiss there.
“Hmm…”
“Morning, Smurfette”
“You just woke up and you already have a death wish?” she suddenly woke up at the surname that Quill had used way too many times.
She turned around in order to face you, her eyelids still heavy.
“What time is it?”
“Why, is there anywhere else you’d rather be?”
“Well yes, I actually needed to help-” You covered her mouth with your hand.
“It’s like 8am and you’re already talking about work, I’m not having it Neb”
She slapped your hand away as she rolled her eyes.
Smoothly removing the bed sheet from you only, you slowly stood up until she pinned you down swiftly with one arm.
“Stay”
You laughed “What, why?”
“Things are better when you’re here”
“What things?”
“Me.” she said with her monotone voice as if it was the most obvious and normal thing in the world but coming from her, you were quite dumbfounded. You rested a reassuring hand on her cheek.
“I’m just gonna make some breakfast for us, I’ll be back before you know”
“Breakfast? Am I gonna be sick again?”
“IT HAPPENED ONCE NEBULA” you stood up pointing your finger at her. “BESIDES IT WAS BECAUSE DRAX HAD SWITCHED THE INGREDIENTS. I’M AN AMAZING COOK AND YOU KNOW IT!”
She just stood there, leaning on her elbow with an amused smile.
“Oh don’t give me that smile, I can’t be mad at you when you give me that smile” you pleaded
“You can’t stay mad at me with or without the smile, Y/N”. This made you giggle, because she was right.
Getting out of bed, you realized you were still in your underwear (not like you needed clothes, you had something to keep you warm at night), so you looked around for what you were wearing the night before and after putting on your pair of comfy shorts, you started looking for your shirt which was nowhere to be found. The other guardians were away on a mission but you still didn’t feel comfortable enough to just walk around the place half naked. You knelt to the ground to look under the bed, then under the sheets, nothing.
“Aaaargh” you grunted out of frustration
“Here” Nebula said handing you here own shirt.
“You sure you don’t mind?” you knew this kind of gestures wasn’t easy to do for her given that she never really had loved ones to share stuff with.
“I don’t.”
Taking the shirt in your hand and putting it on, you made your way to the door when you noticed her eyes following your figure.
“What?”
“It makes you look like your mine. It’s a very satisfying feeling.”
“Yeaaah don’t push it” you joked as you walked through the door step.

Stirring the pancake paste you were making while singing along to the music playing in the background, you paused when you heard a loud thud.
“Neb?” There was a complete silence for a second.
“Heyyy, how’s my favourite idiot?” Peter rushed in the room carrying all the bags he had taken on the mission.
“I don’t know, why don’t you ask Drax? you joked
“I don’t really like the sarcastic tone” said Drax, appearing behind Peter as he entered.
“Wait, how come you guys are back so early?”
“We found the bad guys faster than we thought and they were pretty easy to take down, and also because I’m an awesome team leader and came up with a great plan” Quill explained proudly
“Yeah, you mean the plan that you stole from me?” Rocket nudged him as he walked over the fridge to get himself a drink.
“...Anyway, did you and Nebula manage to repair the motor of that ship as we asked you?” Peter asked.
“Took us two days, but it’s like new”
“Speaking of Nebula, why are you wearing her shirt?” Gamora questioned, putting down her own bags.
A rush of fear went through your whole body as you just stood there, like a statue.
“...What?” was all you could get out of your mouth.
“That shirt, that’s Nebula’s. How come she’s letting you wear it?”
“Uuuh well I-” you literally started sweating trying to find an excuse.
“She spilled coffee on hers so she asked to borrow mine while waiting for hers to dry.” Nebula’s voice echoed from behind you as you let out a relieved sigh.
“Oh, okay” Gamora said simply.
You gave her a shy smile before turning to walk away, Nebula following you. Once you both were out of sight she pulled you close as she put her arm around your shoulders, still walking.
“What would you do without me saving your ass all the time?”
“I had everything under control”
“Sure, keep telling yourself that” she said as she left a small kiss on the tip of your nose, causing you to give her a fake frown.

“Sooo when are gonna tell them that we know?” Rocket asked Gamora while sipping on his drink.
“To be honest I kinda thought they would figure it out when we left them both here alone while we went on the mission” Gamora answered.
“I know right? Ordering them to repair a ship we’re not even going to use, I can’t believe they fell for it” Rocket laughed to himself.
“Let’s let them live in their little fantasy world for a while, shall we? Since they’ve been secretly dating Nebula has finally stopped yelling at me all the time and Y/N doesn’t stay bored and depressed in her room all day” Quill said.
“I gotta agree with the homeless looking Terran for once” Rocket muttered, hiding the fact that he was genuinely proud to see both of his friends happy.
