[ ooc: Starter here - She dislocated his arm and then brought him two tequila shots while she put it back in the socket. ]
[ All of the Guardians are guilty of using the classic tactic of daring others to do shit, sometimes for important stuff and others to fuck with each other puely out of boredom. Peter's own pride can easily be messed up that way easily, even if he's gotten a little bit more mature this last decade.Â
It isn't like that now, not quite, because he does care about Rocket's real feelings on this, and he would have stopped if the other wasn't comfortable. That coky grin comes as a relief, even if he doesn't buy the words that follow entirely and decides he's still going to take this relatively slow. ]
Bossy. [ He admonishes, but it loses any heat it could have had because he's smiling back at Rocket.
This isn't the most comfortable of places for an impromptu make-out session given that the other is still lounging on a chair, but Peter is anything if not adaptable. Rocket has one leg proper up on the console, which gives Peter room to move to stand between his legs and then leans in to face him properly. He slides a hand up the other man's neck, carefully watching his reaction, and cups his jaw. ]
I'd say don't bite me, but....that might not be entirely unwelcome.
[ Moving closer, Peter tilts his head just a little to make sure their nose won't bump and lets his eyes fall closed as he presses his mouth to Rocket's. He's obvious in no way, starting the kiss slow and then teasing Rocket's lips with just the tip of his tongue, toying at pushing deeper without actually doing it. ]
[There was a time, early on in them all knowing each other, when anyone else putting their hands on him would have been met with a snarl at best. Or if he wasn't expecting it, swift instinctive violence. He still gets shit occasionally about that one time he bit Mantis.
They've all grown and changed over the years they've been running together, and over time he's got a lot more comfortable being casually physical with the others; whether it's yanking someone out of the way of danger on a job, or leaning up against each other for support as they wind their way back to the ship after a drunken night out. Touch as a means of expression affection isn't something that's ever come naturally to him, but he trusts his crew enough to let them in close without feeing the need to be on guard.
He goes very, very still as Peter's hand slides over his skin, his breath catching and his eyes fluttering briefly shut. He's intensely aware of the way he's suddenly hemmed in by Peter leaning in over him, of the radiant warmth of his body.
A soft huff of a laugh falls from his lips, and he replies with unrepentant hypocrisy:] Better watch what you're lettin' yourself in for there.
[And then there's a soft press of lips against his, and a shudder runs through him; a strange, feverish heat shivers over his skin. He swears under his breath and grabs Peter by the front of his shirt to pull him in closer, leaning into the kiss and parting his lips under that first exploratory press of tongue]
[ Peter is aware that Rocket's personal space is a delicate thing, like Nebula's, like Gamora's once was. Far too many bad experiences in the past to not be wary, and he can understand that. But time and a constant show of trust had helped all the Guardians get comfortable with each other, and he couldn't be happier about it.
Peter has always been a tactile person. Sometimes it still feels like if he doesn't reach out and touch people, if he doesn't make sure they are there —alive and well— they will disappear from his life like his mom did because he once refused to hold her hand. Peter is aware he's got more issues than Vogue when it comes to emotional baggage, but they all slip off his mind after hearing that soft laugh.
He managed to sneak a last; ] You know I won't. [ ..before kissing the other man.
Cautious has never been Peter's style, and neither is Rocket's. Life is way too short to waste time being careful, and if the way Rocket grabs him to deepen the kiss is any indication, he's thinking along the same lines.
The corner of his lips upturns, and Peter smiles into the kiss, pressing their bodies closer after that obvious demand. His hand goes to the back of Rocket’s neck, fingers burying in the hair there and tugging at it as they finally have a proper kiss. It's rougher and hot, Peter kisses back for all he’s worth, and he's got enough practice to know how to make it good for his partner, tongue both demanding and rewarding. He can’t help but think this is a kiss a decade in the making. ]
[Maybe they were always going to end up here eventually. Peter flirts like he draws breath, constant and unconscious, and for his part Rocket's never known when to back down from anything that looks like a challenge. And for almost as long as they've known each other, Peter's always occupied a weird blind spot in Rocket's defences that's let him get away with things just about anyone else would have been shot for even thinking about. People have been badly damaged in the past for trying to get a little too familiar.
It's hardly as though there's no reason to be on guard. He's putting himself in a vulnerable position here, and for all that Peter talks a good game about being a lover not a fighter, he's not exactly harmless; when provoked he can be just as deadly as any of the rest of them. But nonetheless, this is...different. He doesn't know if he could articulate why it's different — especially not right now, when he's discovering exactly how justified Peter's bragging actually was — but it is.
Somehow it's not a surprise that things escalate pretty quickly once they get going. They've always known exactly how to egg each other on, and Rocket was never going to have any patience for being handled gently. There's heat burning over his skin as he meets the kiss greedily, a low moan lost between their lips for the tug of fingers curling into his hair, and he might not know what the fuck he's doing here but he knows he wants more.
He's never in his life half-assed something once he's committed to doing it, and this is no exception. It takes all of ten seconds for him to decide that he's done with the awkward angle forced on them by the chair; he surges to his feet in one smooth movement, the hand fisted in Peter's shirt flattening against his chest to push him back against the — fortunately locked — console. In the space of a heartbeat he's crowding in close again, hungrily reigniting the kiss with a groan of satisfaction as the better angle lets them press their bodies flush against each other]
[ [ As much as they have argued in the past and got on each other's nerves on purpose, there is no denying that Rocket has grown to be one of the most important people in Peter's life. And yes, he's always been a compulsive flirt and has always hated being lonely. However, he calmed down considerably once he started a proper relationship that lasted years. That was then, and this is now, and old habits die hard.
Besides, it's easier to play it out as harmless flirting and Peter just being always like this than to give his feelings towards Rocket a hard, long look and try to analyze them. So he does not give much thought to what they do and simply enjoys the moment—this chance to be closer in the only way they haven't tried yet.
He lets out a brief, surprised noise against Rocket's lips at the sudden hunger and change in position, but it turns into an encouraging little groan in the span of a few seconds. Peter has always been quick to recover in the face of unexpected situations, and this time is no different. It helps that it is a pleasing kind of surprise, and these are uncommon and must be appreciated fully. His lips part further to welcome Rocket, body buzzing with heat, and he tugs more pointedly at the brown's hair.
He shifts his body slightly so one of the levels of the console is not digging into his kidneys, and takes the chance to slide a strong thigh in between Rocket's legs in the process. ] ]
[He's not going to think too hard about what very specifically had to change for them to ever end up here. They've all lost enough to know that sometimes the best you can do is pick yourself again and make what you can out of whatever pieces you've got left. It is what it is, and the dead don't hold grudges.
When they'd all first been getting to know each other and figuring out how to fit together as a crew, he'd been wary of the casual flirting and innuendo, on the lookout for any signs of it getting too pushy. Plenty of guys don't know how to take fuck off for an answer. But he'd dismissed Peter as harmless — in that sense, anyway — pretty quickly. Sure, he'd joke around, but he never tried too hard to get up in anyone's personal space without some kind of sign that it was welcome. On Rocket's part, he'd sort of assumed that meant it had been just a joke.
More than a decade on, it's hard to really believe that there had ever been a time when he didn't trust Peter to be close to him. It's particularly hard to focus on the thought when it feels so fucking good to be pressed together like this, a hot mouth under his and broad hands confident and familiar on his skin.A full-body shudder runs through him at that solid thigh insinuating itself between his legs, and he growls out a rough fuck as he breaks away to catch his breath, their foreheads pressed together and his hands still fisted in the front of Peter's shirt]
...you wanna take this somewhere more private before we get murdered 'cause Nebs walked in on us with our dicks out?
Edited (fucked up my html real bad) 2024-10-27 23:32 (UTC)
[ Not thinking suits Peter just fine. It comes easy to him, in fact, he's more of a 'do things first, think about them...never' kinda guy. It's not like he hadn't wondered about Rocket before, and even more lately. He likes to think that their past significant others would like them to find happiness in any way they could. Just because they are doing this doesn't mean that their feelings towards their lost loved ones are any less strong or meaningful.
In the brief time when Peter allowed himself to think about Rocket like this, he had expected things to be slightly awkward, no matter what. To say that Rocket is particular about who he allows to get close to him is an understatement, and Peter can't blame him for it after knowing how shitty his past life had been. He likes teasing the guy, though, both because he honestly thinks that nudging Rocket out of his comfort zone from time to time is good for him and because the other man gives as good as he gets, and Peter likes challenges. He never thought they would make it this far, dares or not. Â
Now, however, confronted with reality, it feels natural. Like the obvious next step they had been ignoring. He only hopes he won't screw it up. Not before getting to the 'screw' part of the night, at least. He doesn't miss the way Rocket shudders under his touches, and he takes a mental note about what places are okay for him to touch and which ones might get him even better reactions.
Peter closes his eyes and smiles, pressing his forehead against Rocket for a moment, simply enjoying the moment. It's sweeter than he expected it to be. The comment about Nebula makes him chuckle. There's no denying that death is a very real possibility if she catches them. He leans back a little to lock eyes with Rocket. ]
My room has the bigger bed. And...before you make a quip about my weight, it's because the bed is meant for two people. So come on, get your ass moving.
[ Peter's going to playfully slap said ass too. With some luck, they will manage to get to his room without crossing paths with any other guardians. It's a big ship, anyway, so the odds might be in their favor. Of course, walking in a straight line towards Peter's bedroom might be easier if he could stop his hands to himself, but  he's also pawing at Rocket's waist, tugging at the man's shirt, and nuzzling his nose against the curve of the man's jawline to place another kiss there. ]
[Part of him really does not want to pull away for long enough to make it to someone's bunk in one piece, but fuck it, he wants more skin than he's going to get without risking the aforementioned murdering. If that means getting their shit slightly together for five minutes, he guesses he can live with that. He does take the time though to slowly and deliberately rock his hips into Peter's before pulling away.
He stiffens at that slap and turns to glare, pointing a threatening finger at Peter] Don't push your luck, Quill. Kickin' your ass into next week still sounds like as good an end to the night as anythin' else.
[It's maybe not the most convincing threat he's come out with over the years, given that he's still leaning into those eager touches without hesitation, letting himself be pulled back in, but still. It's the fuckin' principle]
[ Having to walk the distance to the bedroom is an annoying thought; he would much rather keep kissing, but it will be worth it in the end. Delayed gratification and all that, And oh, boy, does Peter plan on bringing a lot of gratification to the table tonight now that Rocket and he are on the same page? That roll of his hips has Peter hissing a little fuck, yes, under his breath. ]
Threatening me with a good time is not as much of a deterrent as you think.
[ Peter's practically purring, not at all discouraged by Rocket's, admittedly impressive glare. He will behave, however, and raises his hands innocently for a moment as if to silently promise that. It's a halfhearted gesture at best, he can tell Rocket's not all that mad. To really make it up to him, Peter kisses him again, deep and meaningful, before pulling away with a smack of his lips. ]
I can come up with a few better things you can do with my ass other than kick it. [ After winking at Rocket, he steps away from the console and his best friend to head in the direction of his room, but reaches back to grab the man's hand and give him a tug. ]
I'm still hearin' a lot of talk and not seein' much follow through— [That's not even strictly true, but he's never passed up an opportunity to goad Peter in as long as they've known each other, and he's not about to start now. And if it comes with a side of getting to be a mouthy asshole, so much the better.
It's not a quick or graceful process, half tripping over themselves because they don't want to stop touching and occasionally ducking into out of the way corners to make out some more, but eventually they make it to Peter's bunk without major incident. No sooner has the door slid shut again behind them again than they're pressed up against it, kissing hungrily. His hands slide up under Peter's shirt, exploring the warm skin bared to his touch.
He breaks to kiss to bite at the side of Peter's neck and murmur in his ear, low and full of promise] C'mon then, hotshot, show me what you got.
[ If Rocket didn't complain in some way, then Peter would know something was wrong. He takes the teasing in stride, serving only to spur him on, and gets his hands on Rocket once again even as they make it to his room. Which is probably what Rocket wanted, so he could consider himself successful. Peter groans the next time they kiss, biting Rocket's bottom lip and devouring his mouth with more urgency, right before Rocket pushes him against the door of his room.
He tightens his hold on the man's hips, tips his head back, and closes his eyes, letting out a pleased sigh when teeth work a mark on his neck and fingers run up his stomach. Rocket's breath is hot against the shell of his ear, causing a shudder and making Peter feel strung out and kiss-drunk. It's been a while since anybody wanted him this much, and he hadn't realized how much he'd missed it. He doesn't want to fuck it up, and he also doesn't want to wait any more than Rocket does. ]
Sometimes I used to think about kissing you. [ He says, and his grin can't fully hide the honesty in his voice. ] Mostly when I wanted you to shut up. Now I want to leave you speechless.
[ Peter turns his head to the side to catch Rocket's lips before he can answer back and presses his body forward so they're once again chest to chest, probably trapping Rocket's hand between them in the process. As pleasant as those exploring hands are under his shirt, they're both still too clothed for his licking, and the bed feels too far away.
He runs his own hands down the sides of Rocket's body and then lowers, even further down his ass, until Peter can reach the back of his thighs and lift him up. That leaves Rocket with the option to wrap his legs around Peter's waist as he moves them both to the bed, or simply allow himself to be carried there a little more unceremoniously.
To his credit, Peter doesn't drop him on the mattress once they reach the bed. He places him down gently and then leans over, a knee between Rocket's legs, while looking at him like he plans to eat him alive and swallow him whole. Eyes dark and hungry, with a kind of ferocious eagerness. Peter pauses for a moment so he can get rid of his shirt and throw it away without a care in the world, muscular chest, and scars on display. ]
You wanted me to talk less, so I better put my tongue to better use, hm?
[ Hands roaming over Rocket's chest, he's about to tug on his shirt to get him to get rid of it when he thinks better of it. It's probably better let Rocket decide if he's comfortable without it, rather than give him no option. Instead, Peter's hands slide down some more, and he tucks his fingers into the waistband of Rocket’s pants and starts to work on undoing the belt. ]
You think shuttin' me up's gonna be that easy— [Whatever the rest of the sentence was going to be is lost in another heated kiss, and he does bite a little, 'cause even if he's not exactly complaining he can't just give in that easy, but it's hard to hold onto the thought when it feels so fucking good. Maybe he can live with being cut off just this once.
The hands sliding purposefully over his ass doesn't come as a surprise, but the sudden lift does. He breathes a low, unsteady fuck, a jolt of heat hitting him like the thump of acceleration when a ship's engines kick in. Intellectually he's always known Peter's bigger and broader than he is, but knowing it's one thing; being manhandled so effortlessly is another, and he'd be lying if he said it wasn't really fucking hot.
He's half expecting to get all but thrown onto the bed, and— something twists, somewhere deep in his chest, for the unexpected gentleness he gets instead. There's a part of him that still wants to bristle at it, to snap that he's not fucking fragile, he doesn't need any kind of soft touch, but...well, he's better these days at ignoring those impulses. It still feels strange and unfamiliar to think about being wanted like this by someone he trusts, someone he knows beyond question at this point that he fucking matters to. Even if this somehow goes bad on them, or if once they're in the moment it ends up just not being his thing... it's going to be okay.
His eyes are dark and intent as they sweep over Peter's bared skin. It's nothing he hasn't seen before — he stitched up one or two of the newer scars himself — but this feels like the first time he's really looked, really taking the time to appreciate the hint of a flush starting to burn over his chest and the way the muscles shift under the skin when he moves. It's a pretty fucking appealing sight.
And then Peter's hands are at his belt and he lets his head fall back against the mattress, a shudder running through him]
Fuck [He licks his suddenly dry lips and slides a hand into Peter's hair] Yeah. Yeah, c'mon.
[ He would say that nothing about Rocket has ever been easy, but he's too busy shoving his tongue down the man's throat and enjoying every minute of it. It seems to do the trick in distracting Rocket from complaining more, and that gets Peter smiling against his mouth and moaning brokenly after he gets bitten. The way Rocket's voice dropped that 'fuck' after being lifted makes Peter’s dick ache with something desperate and needy. This is going to be a fun night, he can tell already.
It's not the first time he goes through the same old song and dance of 'I don't need to be handled with care because I am tough as nails' with a partner. And like other times, he believes that just because they can take things rougher, it doesn't mean they should. He will happily manhandle Rocket more if that's what gets him going, he can see the appeal too, but he refuses to be unnecessarily cruel to his bed partners on principle. Being dotted on or worshiped in bed doesn't make them weak. And fuck it, Peter enjoys doing that, and he's never claimed not to be selfish.
If this doesn't work in the long run, it doesn't work, and that will be fine with him too. They know each other well enough; they have gone through too much, and they understand each other to the point that this doesn't have to be a deal-breaker for their friendship. Peter is glad —and it makes him go a little bit sappy, even if he keeps it to himself— that Rocket trusts him this much.
If it does work... frankly, Peter has no plan for what to do, so he will most likely wing it. As much as he would love it, the universe tends to screw him over at the first opportunity. He tries not to wonder about the positive 'what ifs', so he gets less disappointed when they don't happen. He's going to focus on the present, like the way the column of Rocket's throat looks so biteable when he tips his head back to curse.
Peter makes a soft little noise when a hand buries into his hair and leans into the touch. That feels nice and he enjoys it maybe a tad too much. He wastes no time, finally getting Rocket's pants open and off of him, his underwear following soon enough. A warm, callused palm slides up the inside of Rocket's thigh, while the other wraps around the base of his cock to give it a squeeze.
The blond pauses to grin wickedly up at him before leaning down. Peter bites the curve of a hipbone and then places a trail of kisses down the Adonis' belt, nose brushing against the hair of Rocket's happy trail.
He doesn't tease him much further, warm tongue dipping into the slit of his cock to lap at the precome pooling at the tip. Peter glances up at him, green eyes bright, before fully wrapping his lips around Rocket’s cock and sucking him greedily, left hand digging into his leg. ]
[He's had a lot to say on the topic of Peter's mouth over the years, most of it not that complimentary. Right now he'll happily disavow past-him as a fucking liar, because every time that mouth touches his skin, his brain entirely shuts off. The world is rapidly narrowing to nothing but anticipation and building heat as Peter charts a path southward with unmistakable intent, every touch going straight to his aching dick.
Somewhere in there his pants disappear. He's not entirely sure how that happened, but he's not going to question it. He has no trouble just accepting that Peter's some kind of sex wizard and moving on with his life. It does make it clear though that still having his shirt on at this stage feels increasingly weird; reluctantly he abandons his grip on Peter's hair to strip it off over his head, tossing it carelessly somewhere into the dim recesses of the bunk. The metal under his collarbones gleams in the low light, the centrepiece of a dense tapestry of scars, as he props himself up on his elbows to appreciate the sight laid out in front of him.
A convulsive shudder runs through him for the first touch directly to his cock, his eyes fluttering shut and his lips parting around a barely-audible breath of a curse. There's barely a moment to process the overwhelming rush of sensation before Peter's mouth is on him and he swears again, louder and more emphatic this time, his hips twitching involuntarily upwards]
Fuck [His hand sinks back into Peter's hair, grip tightening at the base of his skull, and he gives a shallow thrust into the wet, eager heat enveloping him] Fuck that's good.
[ Peter might not be a tech genius like Rocket, but he has skills in other areas, and in bed, he knows very well what he's doing. He wants to do good by Rocket too, and not simply because the other had dared him to do his best. That said, there's still a sense of deep satisfaction upon hearing and seeing Rocket come undone literally under his hands and mouth.
There's a pleased, encouraging noise of approval that comes from the back of Peter's throat when Rocket's shirt goes missing, probably sending some enjoyable vibrations down the cock in his mouth. His free hand immediately slides up from Rocket's thigh to the curve of his hip and the valleys of his abs. He doesn't mind any scars or metal pieces that get in the way of his touches, but he's mindful not to add too much pressure to those areas, just in case.
Aside from that, as his tongue works, he lets his hand wander, made easier when Rocket props himself up and his chest gets properly within reach.
It's been a while since Peter's had a dick in his mouth, though, and Rocket certainly has nothing to be self-conscious about. He's glad that his skills are still up to standards if the noises the other man is making are any indication, but Peter still jumps a little when Rocket's hips roll upwards, a hand keeping him in place. Fucking hell, that's hot.
He reminds himself to breathe through his nose and relax his jaw to take more of him into his mouth. He tilts his head back off slightly, his tongue pressing against the bottom of Rocket's cock, whilst his teeth grazed the top for a few seconds. Peter sucks lightly on the tip before going back down again, bowing his head until he feels the hardness in his mouth hitting the back of his throat, messy blond curls brushing against Rocket’s happy trail. Ignoring the fact that he can hardly breathe, Peter swallows around Rocket's cock and hums. ]
[He tenses at the brush of wandering fingertips over his metalwork, an uneasy thrill that's distinctly not pleasure shivering through him and crossing some confusing wires on its way. His fingers tighten again in Peter's hair, grounding himself in the here and now. It's okay. He's safe here. The hands on his skin are familiar, welcome. It's okay.
Blinking rapidly, he forces his eyes open again, and the sight that greets him hits him with a punch of heat so overwhelming that any unease is instantly forgotten. Fuck, Peter's gorgeous like this; a flush burning across his hollowed cheeks, lips glistening and hair in disarray. Rocket groans, hand slipping down out of his hair to stroke an almost tender thumb over his cheekbone]
Shoulda put your mouth to better use years ago [His voice is unfamiliar in his own ears, low and ragged and absolutely wrecked. Another desperate shudder rolls through him as Peter takes him impossibly deeper. He tips his head back and moans, eyes fixed unseeing on the ceiling and a cleaner, sweeter kind of tension ratcheting up as his hips continue to twitch upwards of their own accord. He can feel the heat building, drawing up to a crescendo]
[ The fingers caress his cheek in a gentler manner than Peter anticipated, prompting him to glance up at Rocket, his eyes peeping through his thick eyelashes. He's not in a position to properly smile, but he tilts his head to lean into the touch and makes a content noise. Peter's always been weak to shows of affection of any kind.
And that's probably another reason why he doesn't drag this on more than Rocket would enjoy. It's tempting, oh, so very-much, to edge him for a little while, especially after that comment, but Peter decides to take it as praise in a very Rocket-like way.
He can make him beg for it the next time, when this thing between them isn't so new and delicate. He hadn't missed the way Rocket had gone a little too still for a moment when his hands wandered, and he doubted it was because it felt just that good. So Peter's going to be a good lover and not push their luck because he already wants it to be next time. Any snarky comments from him will wait until later, but they will eventually happen; it's how they work and how they like it. Â
Rocket looks so good too: voice ragged, head thrown back, and exposing the column of his throat. If his mouth weren't already working to make sure Rocket loses it, he would be biting and kissing up that neck, leaving marks behind. Peter looks down again, eyes half-lidded and a shudder of his own wracking his body at the view. He squeezes Rocket's thigh again in a show of acknowledgment of the warning, his nails digging a little into the flesh to add an edge to the sensation, but he's not pulling away.
Fingers wrap around Rocket's cock at the base, giving him a few firm strokes in tandem with the way Peter's boobing his head and pressing the flat of his tongue hard against the underside the cockhead. He's not doing anything to stop the other man from rocking his hips up and fucking his mouth, quite the opposite, making some little moans and swallowing thickly. ]
[He hadn't been prepared for how fucking hot it is that Peter's so obviously into it. He can feel those moans, vibrating through him like shocks up his spine and feeding the dizzying heat consuming his senses. Every roll of his hips is met with nothing but shameless greed, and he's quick to follow that encouragement, thrusting up with increasing urgency. Distantly he can hear himself panting out half-coherent filth and praise.
And then, sudden as a gunshot, it all tips past the point of no return. He sucks in a sharp breath and goes almost silent, every muscle taut and trembling as he comes.
After a few breathless moments the tension flows out of him with a low, heartfelt moan; he melts into the mattress, his fingers slipping out of Peter's hair]
[ This is Rocket, of course, Peter is into it. He always tries to have a good time during sex, but there's no denying it always feels better when the other person matters to him. So yes, he's pretty pleased, even if his own need is getting harder to ignore. Rocket running his mouth like that is getting him all hot and bothered, and his cock is aching something fierce.
It's not distracting enough that he doesn't feel Rocket twitch and tense up as he comes, then go totally pliant, like a bowstring that finally snapped. That low moan does think to Peter, and he swallows around him; he keeps one hand wrapped around the base of his shaft to help him ride out his orgasm. He leans back and lets Rocket slip out of his mouth before things get so sensitive that they turn painful, feeling a little dazzled himself.
Peter sighs, resting his check on the curve of Rocket's thigh and smiling like the cat who got the cream. He's pretty sure he's never seen the other man this relaxed. It makes Peter's eyes turn soft, but since Rocket's still seems too blissed out to focus on him, he knows he can get away with it without getting shit for it. He lets Rocket a few more seconds to compose himself, which Peter uses to catch his breath before he says; ]
You're not allowed to complain about my mouth ever again; I hope you realize that.
[ The blond says, sounding a little smug but soft, his voice rough due to their recent activities. He turns his head just slightly so he can give Rocket's thigh a light bite, followed by a quick, soft kiss. He would much rather yank Rocket into a proper kiss but now that things had quieted down somewhat, he isn't sure if the other would be into it still. ]
[It takes him a long couple of seconds to string together anything like a coherent reply, still half drunk on the aftershocks. His thoughts feel like syrup. Normally he can't stand being still unless some project or puzzle is entirely occupying his attention, but here and now for a rare peaceful moment, he can't imagine wanting to move from exactly where he is]
Definitely not gonna slow me down, but nice try.
[A shiver rolls through him at that bite, a small, approving noise caught on his lips. His fingers are stroking absently through Peter's hair, his touch distractedly gentle. He rolls his eyes, but there's no sting to it, his gaze fond] Don't "sweetheart" me, Quill.
[The embers of a banked heat are still burning low in his belly, and they flare a little brighter as he takes in Peter's dishevelled state with lazy appreciation; his hair wild, lips reddened and glistening, unabashed hunger in his eyes. Rocket's fingers tighten in his hair, urging him to shift back up the bed] C'mere.
That only means I'll have to try this strategy again and see for how long it keeps you quiet. [ Peter punctuates his words by running a hand up the curve of Rocket's hips again, enjoying the warmth of their skins now that things were a little less frantic.
The fingers in his hair draw a new content sigh past his lips once more, and Peter closes his eyes and draws in slow, long breaths through his nose. He might be horny at hell right now, but he's not one to waste a gentle moment when it happens to him; those are as rare in his life as witnessing a fucking unicorn. ]
Do you prefer babe? Or maybe darling. I can also offer sugah.
[ The last word comes out in a thick midwestern accent, one that Peter definitely has but rarely used while in space, tinting his voice with a honeyed tone and a lilting cadence. He smiles up at Rocket until the other man tugs at his hair, and then he can't but oblige and move.
It takes a little effort to properly crawl up the bed to him; the front of Peter's pants is painfully thigh. Before, he had managed to somehow kick his boots off at some point in what was no doubt a practiced movement, and he doesn't have to worry about them staining the sheets. The urge to sit on Rocket's lap, it's hard to resist, to bracket him between his thighs, but he doesn't want to crush him, so Peter settles for leaning in until their faces are close. ]
[None of them have led the kind of lives where a scrap of softness is a thing you get to take for granted. Even here and now, safe on the ship they've made a home of with someone he's come to trust completely, in some ways it still feels alien. It still feels new and strange to let someone this close, to have someone put their hands on his skin for the sole purpose of giving pleasure. Maybe it's always going to feel that way.
Maybe that's not such a bad thing. He doesn't know that he wants to take it for granted.
He snorts, shaking his head at the litany of increasingly ridiculous endearments, and gives a slow smirk as Peter crawls back up the bed to once again bracket him in against the mattress. A fresh thrill of heat shivers through him, his voice dropping to a husky murmur as he retorts] I was gonna see about returning the favor, but you're kinda giving me second thoughts here...
[ It's exactly because they didn't have easy and happy lives that it makes it all the more necessary to show each other some appreciation. It comes from a place of trust and genuine affection, despite any rocky start, and Peter is grateful every day that they all found a place to call their own, a family.
Tonight he considers himself even more lucky than usual, sharing his bed with a lover he knows won't deceive him or hurt him on purpose. He might be a jackass on occasion, but that's part of Rocket's appeal. ]
Tsk, my terran charms are wasted on you. [ Peter scoffs, making an exaggerated pout for a split second and sounding not at all upset. One of his hands plays with Rocket's hair, fingers carding through the strands. ] Still, let me convince you some more.
[ He presses their bodies close, chest to chest, but still holds most of his own weight on his forearms. Peter finally breaks the last inches of distance between them and kisses him heated and deep, giving a slow roll of his hips in the process. ]
[The movement is slow and telegraphed enough that he could easily have put a stop to it if he'd wanted to, but still, part of him is nonetheless braced to have to suppress an instinctive spike of fight-or-flight when Peter settles in on top of him, pressing him into the mattress. He doesn't quite know what to do with the way it never comes. It doesn't feel like being held down or restrained. Instead it feels like a harness clipping into place; like the weight of a gun at his hip, noticeable only by the cessation of the sense of nakedness its absence had caused. He feels...anchored. Safe.
He leans readily into the kiss, a low moan lost between their lips for the heat and hunger in it. He can feel how desperately fucking hard Peter is; still being trapped in his pants has to fucking hurt by this point. It's kind of hot, knowing that it's all for him.
He gives a mock-thoughtful hum against Peter's lips as they break for air] Hmm, lemme think it over—
[In his current position he doesn't have the most useful leverage. But he hasn't missed that Peter's full weight isn't on him, and that's all the opening he needs. He hooks a leg around the back of Peter's knee and braces a hand against his shoulder, and in one fluid motion pushes and twists and flips them. Peter's back hits the mattress, and suddenly Rocket's grinning down at him, all dark eyes and predatory intent as he slips a hand between them to palm Peter's dick through his pants]
[ Peter would have moved away the moment Rocket seemed uncomfortable, or if he made it clear he needed some space. The last thing he wants is to overwhelm him, and Peter has made aware many (many, truly) times in the past that he can be a bit much.
He's glad that Rocket doesn't push him away, though, that maybe it's another big show of trust. Back in the day, Gamora also had some issues with unexpected touches or Peter clinging to her too much that they had to work on. He's a sucker for cuddling but, with time, he also learned to give her the space she needed and find a middle ground. Peter would be Rocket's weighed blanket any time he wants or simply stay close without touching if that's what works best for him.
He moans into the kiss in response to Rocket's willingness and the sounds the other man is making, and it's so thoroughly distracted that when Rocket flips them over, Peter lets out a startled yelp. His surprised face quickly melts into one of pure delight, and he looks up at Rocket looming over him with a smile of his own. ]
I didn't know you had it in you. [ If Peter means the strength or Rocket being this feisty, it's up in the air. He means both, so any interpretation works. The grin Rocket is giving him goes straight to his dick, and the hungry gaze makes Peter visibly shiver with anticipation. The heat of his unfulfilled pleasure is still burning low in his belly, and the feeling gets sharper when Rocket gets his hands on him, prompting Peter to throw back his head with a broken moan escaping his lips. ]
Fuck, ah... [ His hands twitch on each side of him, but he doesn't dare to reach out and touch Rocket right now, lest he stop doing whatever he has planned. He can do something else, though, and that's running his mouth in a way his friend might like. ] Rocket...Please.

TFLN | Rocket @ceptme
[ All of the Guardians are guilty of using the classic tactic of daring others to do shit, sometimes for important stuff and others to fuck with each other puely out of boredom. Peter's own pride can easily be messed up that way easily, even if he's gotten a little bit more mature this last decade.Â
It isn't like that now, not quite, because he does care about Rocket's real feelings on this, and he would have stopped if the other wasn't comfortable. That coky grin comes as a relief, even if he doesn't buy the words that follow entirely and decides he's still going to take this relatively slow. ]
Bossy. [ He admonishes, but it loses any heat it could have had because he's smiling back at Rocket.
This isn't the most comfortable of places for an impromptu make-out session given that the other is still lounging on a chair, but Peter is anything if not adaptable. Rocket has one leg proper up on the console, which gives Peter room to move to stand between his legs and then leans in to face him properly. He slides a hand up the other man's neck, carefully watching his reaction, and cups his jaw. ]
I'd say don't bite me, but....that might not be entirely unwelcome.
[ Moving closer, Peter tilts his head just a little to make sure their nose won't bump and lets his eyes fall closed as he presses his mouth to Rocket's. He's obvious in no way, starting the kiss slow and then teasing Rocket's lips with just the tip of his tongue, toying at pushing deeper without actually doing it. ]
<3
They've all grown and changed over the years they've been running together, and over time he's got a lot more comfortable being casually physical with the others; whether it's yanking someone out of the way of danger on a job, or leaning up against each other for support as they wind their way back to the ship after a drunken night out. Touch as a means of expression affection isn't something that's ever come naturally to him, but he trusts his crew enough to let them in close without feeing the need to be on guard.
He goes very, very still as Peter's hand slides over his skin, his breath catching and his eyes fluttering briefly shut. He's intensely aware of the way he's suddenly hemmed in by Peter leaning in over him, of the radiant warmth of his body.
A soft huff of a laugh falls from his lips, and he replies with unrepentant hypocrisy:] Better watch what you're lettin' yourself in for there.
[And then there's a soft press of lips against his, and a shudder runs through him; a strange, feverish heat shivers over his skin. He swears under his breath and grabs Peter by the front of his shirt to pull him in closer, leaning into the kiss and parting his lips under that first exploratory press of tongue]
💕
Peter has always been a tactile person. Sometimes it still feels like if he doesn't reach out and touch people, if he doesn't make sure they are there —alive and well— they will disappear from his life like his mom did because he once refused to hold her hand. Peter is aware he's got more issues than Vogue when it comes to emotional baggage, but they all slip off his mind after hearing that soft laugh.
He managed to sneak a last; ] You know I won't. [ ..before kissing the other man.
Cautious has never been Peter's style, and neither is Rocket's. Life is way too short to waste time being careful, and if the way Rocket grabs him to deepen the kiss is any indication, he's thinking along the same lines.
The corner of his lips upturns, and Peter smiles into the kiss, pressing their bodies closer after that obvious demand. His hand goes to the back of Rocket’s neck, fingers burying in the hair there and tugging at it as they finally have a proper kiss. It's rougher and hot, Peter kisses back for all he’s worth, and he's got enough practice to know how to make it good for his partner, tongue both demanding and rewarding. He can’t help but think this is a kiss a decade in the making. ]
no subject
It's hardly as though there's no reason to be on guard. He's putting himself in a vulnerable position here, and for all that Peter talks a good game about being a lover not a fighter, he's not exactly harmless; when provoked he can be just as deadly as any of the rest of them. But nonetheless, this is...different. He doesn't know if he could articulate why it's different — especially not right now, when he's discovering exactly how justified Peter's bragging actually was — but it is.
Somehow it's not a surprise that things escalate pretty quickly once they get going. They've always known exactly how to egg each other on, and Rocket was never going to have any patience for being handled gently. There's heat burning over his skin as he meets the kiss greedily, a low moan lost between their lips for the tug of fingers curling into his hair, and he might not know what the fuck he's doing here but he knows he wants more.
He's never in his life half-assed something once he's committed to doing it, and this is no exception. It takes all of ten seconds for him to decide that he's done with the awkward angle forced on them by the chair; he surges to his feet in one smooth movement, the hand fisted in Peter's shirt flattening against his chest to push him back against the — fortunately locked — console. In the space of a heartbeat he's crowding in close again, hungrily reigniting the kiss with a groan of satisfaction as the better angle lets them press their bodies flush against each other]
no subject
Besides, it's easier to play it out as harmless flirting and Peter just being always like this than to give his feelings towards Rocket a hard, long look and try to analyze them. So he does not give much thought to what they do and simply enjoys the moment—this chance to be closer in the only way they haven't tried yet.
He lets out a brief, surprised noise against Rocket's lips at the sudden hunger and change in position, but it turns into an encouraging little groan in the span of a few seconds. Peter has always been quick to recover in the face of unexpected situations, and this time is no different. It helps that it is a pleasing kind of surprise, and these are uncommon and must be appreciated fully. His lips part further to welcome Rocket, body buzzing with heat, and he tugs more pointedly at the brown's hair.
He shifts his body slightly so one of the levels of the console is not digging into his kidneys, and takes the chance to slide a strong thigh in between Rocket's legs in the process. ] ]
no subject
When they'd all first been getting to know each other and figuring out how to fit together as a crew, he'd been wary of the casual flirting and innuendo, on the lookout for any signs of it getting too pushy. Plenty of guys don't know how to take fuck off for an answer. But he'd dismissed Peter as harmless — in that sense, anyway — pretty quickly. Sure, he'd joke around, but he never tried too hard to get up in anyone's personal space without some kind of sign that it was welcome. On Rocket's part, he'd sort of assumed that meant it had been just a joke.
More than a decade on, it's hard to really believe that there had ever been a time when he didn't trust Peter to be close to him. It's particularly hard to focus on the thought when it feels so fucking good to be pressed together like this, a hot mouth under his and broad hands confident and familiar on his skin.A full-body shudder runs through him at that solid thigh insinuating itself between his legs, and he growls out a rough fuck as he breaks away to catch his breath, their foreheads pressed together and his hands still fisted in the front of Peter's shirt]
...you wanna take this somewhere more private before we get murdered 'cause Nebs walked in on us with our dicks out?
no subject
In the brief time when Peter allowed himself to think about Rocket like this, he had expected things to be slightly awkward, no matter what. To say that Rocket is particular about who he allows to get close to him is an understatement, and Peter can't blame him for it after knowing how shitty his past life had been. He likes teasing the guy, though, both because he honestly thinks that nudging Rocket out of his comfort zone from time to time is good for him and because the other man gives as good as he gets, and Peter likes challenges. He never thought they would make it this far, dares or not. Â
Now, however, confronted with reality, it feels natural. Like the obvious next step they had been ignoring. He only hopes he won't screw it up. Not before getting to the 'screw' part of the night, at least. He doesn't miss the way Rocket shudders under his touches, and he takes a mental note about what places are okay for him to touch and which ones might get him even better reactions.
Peter closes his eyes and smiles, pressing his forehead against Rocket for a moment, simply enjoying the moment. It's sweeter than he expected it to be. The comment about Nebula makes him chuckle. There's no denying that death is a very real possibility if she catches them. He leans back a little to lock eyes with Rocket. ]
My room has the bigger bed. And...before you make a quip about my weight, it's because the bed is meant for two people. So come on, get your ass moving.
[ Peter's going to playfully slap said ass too. With some luck, they will manage to get to his room without crossing paths with any other guardians. It's a big ship, anyway, so the odds might be in their favor. Of course, walking in a straight line towards Peter's bedroom might be easier if he could stop his hands to himself, but  he's also pawing at Rocket's waist, tugging at the man's shirt, and nuzzling his nose against the curve of the man's jawline to place another kiss there. ]
no subject
He stiffens at that slap and turns to glare, pointing a threatening finger at Peter] Don't push your luck, Quill. Kickin' your ass into next week still sounds like as good an end to the night as anythin' else.
[It's maybe not the most convincing threat he's come out with over the years, given that he's still leaning into those eager touches without hesitation, letting himself be pulled back in, but still. It's the fuckin' principle]
no subject
Threatening me with a good time is not as much of a deterrent as you think.
[ Peter's practically purring, not at all discouraged by Rocket's, admittedly impressive glare. He will behave, however, and raises his hands innocently for a moment as if to silently promise that. It's a halfhearted gesture at best, he can tell Rocket's not all that mad. To really make it up to him, Peter kisses him again, deep and meaningful, before pulling away with a smack of his lips. ]
I can come up with a few better things you can do with my ass other than kick it. [ After winking at Rocket, he steps away from the console and his best friend to head in the direction of his room, but reaches back to grab the man's hand and give him a tug. ]
no subject
It's not a quick or graceful process, half tripping over themselves because they don't want to stop touching and occasionally ducking into out of the way corners to make out some more, but eventually they make it to Peter's bunk without major incident. No sooner has the door slid shut again behind them again than they're pressed up against it, kissing hungrily. His hands slide up under Peter's shirt, exploring the warm skin bared to his touch.
He breaks to kiss to bite at the side of Peter's neck and murmur in his ear, low and full of promise] C'mon then, hotshot, show me what you got.
no subject
He tightens his hold on the man's hips, tips his head back, and closes his eyes, letting out a pleased sigh when teeth work a mark on his neck and fingers run up his stomach. Rocket's breath is hot against the shell of his ear, causing a shudder and making Peter feel strung out and kiss-drunk. It's been a while since anybody wanted him this much, and he hadn't realized how much he'd missed it. He doesn't want to fuck it up, and he also doesn't want to wait any more than Rocket does. ]
Sometimes I used to think about kissing you. [ He says, and his grin can't fully hide the honesty in his voice. ] Mostly when I wanted you to shut up. Now I want to leave you speechless.
[ Peter turns his head to the side to catch Rocket's lips before he can answer back and presses his body forward so they're once again chest to chest, probably trapping Rocket's hand between them in the process. As pleasant as those exploring hands are under his shirt, they're both still too clothed for his licking, and the bed feels too far away.
He runs his own hands down the sides of Rocket's body and then lowers, even further down his ass, until Peter can reach the back of his thighs and lift him up. That leaves Rocket with the option to wrap his legs around Peter's waist as he moves them both to the bed, or simply allow himself to be carried there a little more unceremoniously.
To his credit, Peter doesn't drop him on the mattress once they reach the bed. He places him down gently and then leans over, a knee between Rocket's legs, while looking at him like he plans to eat him alive and swallow him whole. Eyes dark and hungry, with a kind of ferocious eagerness. Peter pauses for a moment so he can get rid of his shirt and throw it away without a care in the world, muscular chest, and scars on display. ]
You wanted me to talk less, so I better put my tongue to better use, hm?
[ Hands roaming over Rocket's chest, he's about to tug on his shirt to get him to get rid of it when he thinks better of it. It's probably better let Rocket decide if he's comfortable without it, rather than give him no option. Instead, Peter's hands slide down some more, and he tucks his fingers into the waistband of Rocket’s pants and starts to work on undoing the belt. ]
no subject
The hands sliding purposefully over his ass doesn't come as a surprise, but the sudden lift does. He breathes a low, unsteady fuck, a jolt of heat hitting him like the thump of acceleration when a ship's engines kick in. Intellectually he's always known Peter's bigger and broader than he is, but knowing it's one thing; being manhandled so effortlessly is another, and he'd be lying if he said it wasn't really fucking hot.
He's half expecting to get all but thrown onto the bed, and— something twists, somewhere deep in his chest, for the unexpected gentleness he gets instead. There's a part of him that still wants to bristle at it, to snap that he's not fucking fragile, he doesn't need any kind of soft touch, but...well, he's better these days at ignoring those impulses. It still feels strange and unfamiliar to think about being wanted like this by someone he trusts, someone he knows beyond question at this point that he fucking matters to. Even if this somehow goes bad on them, or if once they're in the moment it ends up just not being his thing... it's going to be okay.
His eyes are dark and intent as they sweep over Peter's bared skin. It's nothing he hasn't seen before — he stitched up one or two of the newer scars himself — but this feels like the first time he's really looked, really taking the time to appreciate the hint of a flush starting to burn over his chest and the way the muscles shift under the skin when he moves. It's a pretty fucking appealing sight.
And then Peter's hands are at his belt and he lets his head fall back against the mattress, a shudder running through him]
Fuck [He licks his suddenly dry lips and slides a hand into Peter's hair] Yeah. Yeah, c'mon.
no subject
It's not the first time he goes through the same old song and dance of 'I don't need to be handled with care because I am tough as nails' with a partner. And like other times, he believes that just because they can take things rougher, it doesn't mean they should. He will happily manhandle Rocket more if that's what gets him going, he can see the appeal too, but he refuses to be unnecessarily cruel to his bed partners on principle. Being dotted on or worshiped in bed doesn't make them weak. And fuck it, Peter enjoys doing that, and he's never claimed not to be selfish.
If this doesn't work in the long run, it doesn't work, and that will be fine with him too. They know each other well enough; they have gone through too much, and they understand each other to the point that this doesn't have to be a deal-breaker for their friendship. Peter is glad —and it makes him go a little bit sappy, even if he keeps it to himself— that Rocket trusts him this much.
If it does work... frankly, Peter has no plan for what to do, so he will most likely wing it. As much as he would love it, the universe tends to screw him over at the first opportunity. He tries not to wonder about the positive 'what ifs', so he gets less disappointed when they don't happen. He's going to focus on the present, like the way the column of Rocket's throat looks so biteable when he tips his head back to curse.
Peter makes a soft little noise when a hand buries into his hair and leans into the touch. That feels nice and he enjoys it maybe a tad too much. He wastes no time, finally getting Rocket's pants open and off of him, his underwear following soon enough. A warm, callused palm slides up the inside of Rocket's thigh, while the other wraps around the base of his cock to give it a squeeze.
The blond pauses to grin wickedly up at him before leaning down. Peter bites the curve of a hipbone and then places a trail of kisses down the Adonis' belt, nose brushing against the hair of Rocket's happy trail.
He doesn't tease him much further, warm tongue dipping into the slit of his cock to lap at the precome pooling at the tip. Peter glances up at him, green eyes bright, before fully wrapping his lips around Rocket’s cock and sucking him greedily, left hand digging into his leg. ]
no subject
Somewhere in there his pants disappear. He's not entirely sure how that happened, but he's not going to question it. He has no trouble just accepting that Peter's some kind of sex wizard and moving on with his life. It does make it clear though that still having his shirt on at this stage feels increasingly weird; reluctantly he abandons his grip on Peter's hair to strip it off over his head, tossing it carelessly somewhere into the dim recesses of the bunk. The metal under his collarbones gleams in the low light, the centrepiece of a dense tapestry of scars, as he props himself up on his elbows to appreciate the sight laid out in front of him.
A convulsive shudder runs through him for the first touch directly to his cock, his eyes fluttering shut and his lips parting around a barely-audible breath of a curse. There's barely a moment to process the overwhelming rush of sensation before Peter's mouth is on him and he swears again, louder and more emphatic this time, his hips twitching involuntarily upwards]
Fuck [His hand sinks back into Peter's hair, grip tightening at the base of his skull, and he gives a shallow thrust into the wet, eager heat enveloping him] Fuck that's good.
no subject
There's a pleased, encouraging noise of approval that comes from the back of Peter's throat when Rocket's shirt goes missing, probably sending some enjoyable vibrations down the cock in his mouth. His free hand immediately slides up from Rocket's thigh to the curve of his hip and the valleys of his abs. He doesn't mind any scars or metal pieces that get in the way of his touches, but he's mindful not to add too much pressure to those areas, just in case.
Aside from that, as his tongue works, he lets his hand wander, made easier when Rocket props himself up and his chest gets properly within reach.
It's been a while since Peter's had a dick in his mouth, though, and Rocket certainly has nothing to be self-conscious about. He's glad that his skills are still up to standards if the noises the other man is making are any indication, but Peter still jumps a little when Rocket's hips roll upwards, a hand keeping him in place. Fucking hell, that's hot.
He reminds himself to breathe through his nose and relax his jaw to take more of him into his mouth. He tilts his head back off slightly, his tongue pressing against the bottom of Rocket's cock, whilst his teeth grazed the top for a few seconds. Peter sucks lightly on the tip before going back down again, bowing his head until he feels the hardness in his mouth hitting the back of his throat, messy blond curls brushing against Rocket’s happy trail. Ignoring the fact that he can hardly breathe, Peter swallows around Rocket's cock and hums. ]
no subject
Blinking rapidly, he forces his eyes open again, and the sight that greets him hits him with a punch of heat so overwhelming that any unease is instantly forgotten. Fuck, Peter's gorgeous like this; a flush burning across his hollowed cheeks, lips glistening and hair in disarray. Rocket groans, hand slipping down out of his hair to stroke an almost tender thumb over his cheekbone]
Shoulda put your mouth to better use years ago [His voice is unfamiliar in his own ears, low and ragged and absolutely wrecked. Another desperate shudder rolls through him as Peter takes him impossibly deeper. He tips his head back and moans, eyes fixed unseeing on the ceiling and a cleaner, sweeter kind of tension ratcheting up as his hips continue to twitch upwards of their own accord. He can feel the heat building, drawing up to a crescendo]
Fuck, I'm close—
no subject
And that's probably another reason why he doesn't drag this on more than Rocket would enjoy. It's tempting, oh, so very-much, to edge him for a little while, especially after that comment, but Peter decides to take it as praise in a very Rocket-like way.
He can make him beg for it the next time, when this thing between them isn't so new and delicate. He hadn't missed the way Rocket had gone a little too still for a moment when his hands wandered, and he doubted it was because it felt just that good. So Peter's going to be a good lover and not push their luck because he already wants it to be next time. Any snarky comments from him will wait until later, but they will eventually happen; it's how they work and how they like it. Â
Rocket looks so good too: voice ragged, head thrown back, and exposing the column of his throat. If his mouth weren't already working to make sure Rocket loses it, he would be biting and kissing up that neck, leaving marks behind. Peter looks down again, eyes half-lidded and a shudder of his own wracking his body at the view. He squeezes Rocket's thigh again in a show of acknowledgment of the warning, his nails digging a little into the flesh to add an edge to the sensation, but he's not pulling away.
Fingers wrap around Rocket's cock at the base, giving him a few firm strokes in tandem with the way Peter's boobing his head and pressing the flat of his tongue hard against the underside the cockhead. He's not doing anything to stop the other man from rocking his hips up and fucking his mouth, quite the opposite, making some little moans and swallowing thickly. ]
no subject
And then, sudden as a gunshot, it all tips past the point of no return. He sucks in a sharp breath and goes almost silent, every muscle taut and trembling as he comes.
After a few breathless moments the tension flows out of him with a low, heartfelt moan; he melts into the mattress, his fingers slipping out of Peter's hair]
Fuck.
no subject
It's not distracting enough that he doesn't feel Rocket twitch and tense up as he comes, then go totally pliant, like a bowstring that finally snapped. That low moan does think to Peter, and he swallows around him; he keeps one hand wrapped around the base of his shaft to help him ride out his orgasm. He leans back and lets Rocket slip out of his mouth before things get so sensitive that they turn painful, feeling a little dazzled himself.
Peter sighs, resting his check on the curve of Rocket's thigh and smiling like the cat who got the cream. He's pretty sure he's never seen the other man this relaxed. It makes Peter's eyes turn soft, but since Rocket's still seems too blissed out to focus on him, he knows he can get away with it without getting shit for it. He lets Rocket a few more seconds to compose himself, which Peter uses to catch his breath before he says; ]
You're not allowed to complain about my mouth ever again; I hope you realize that.
[ The blond says, sounding a little smug but soft, his voice rough due to their recent activities. He turns his head just slightly so he can give Rocket's thigh a light bite, followed by a quick, soft kiss. He would much rather yank Rocket into a proper kiss but now that things had quieted down somewhat, he isn't sure if the other would be into it still. ]
You good, sweetheart?
no subject
Definitely not gonna slow me down, but nice try.
[A shiver rolls through him at that bite, a small, approving noise caught on his lips. His fingers are stroking absently through Peter's hair, his touch distractedly gentle. He rolls his eyes, but there's no sting to it, his gaze fond] Don't "sweetheart" me, Quill.
[The embers of a banked heat are still burning low in his belly, and they flare a little brighter as he takes in Peter's dishevelled state with lazy appreciation; his hair wild, lips reddened and glistening, unabashed hunger in his eyes. Rocket's fingers tighten in his hair, urging him to shift back up the bed] C'mere.
no subject
The fingers in his hair draw a new content sigh past his lips once more, and Peter closes his eyes and draws in slow, long breaths through his nose. He might be horny at hell right now, but he's not one to waste a gentle moment when it happens to him; those are as rare in his life as witnessing a fucking unicorn. ]
Do you prefer babe? Or maybe darling. I can also offer sugah.
[ The last word comes out in a thick midwestern accent, one that Peter definitely has but rarely used while in space, tinting his voice with a honeyed tone and a lilting cadence. He smiles up at Rocket until the other man tugs at his hair, and then he can't but oblige and move.
It takes a little effort to properly crawl up the bed to him; the front of Peter's pants is painfully thigh. Before, he had managed to somehow kick his boots off at some point in what was no doubt a practiced movement, and he doesn't have to worry about them staining the sheets. The urge to sit on Rocket's lap, it's hard to resist, to bracket him between his thighs, but he doesn't want to crush him, so Peter settles for leaning in until their faces are close. ]
no subject
Maybe that's not such a bad thing. He doesn't know that he wants to take it for granted.
He snorts, shaking his head at the litany of increasingly ridiculous endearments, and gives a slow smirk as Peter crawls back up the bed to once again bracket him in against the mattress. A fresh thrill of heat shivers through him, his voice dropping to a husky murmur as he retorts] I was gonna see about returning the favor, but you're kinda giving me second thoughts here...
no subject
Tonight he considers himself even more lucky than usual, sharing his bed with a lover he knows won't deceive him or hurt him on purpose. He might be a jackass on occasion, but that's part of Rocket's appeal. ]
Tsk, my terran charms are wasted on you. [ Peter scoffs, making an exaggerated pout for a split second and sounding not at all upset. One of his hands plays with Rocket's hair, fingers carding through the strands. ] Still, let me convince you some more.
[ He presses their bodies close, chest to chest, but still holds most of his own weight on his forearms. Peter finally breaks the last inches of distance between them and kisses him heated and deep, giving a slow roll of his hips in the process. ]

He leans readily into the kiss, a low moan lost between their lips for the heat and hunger in it. He can feel how desperately fucking hard Peter is; still being trapped in his pants has to fucking hurt by this point. It's kind of hot, knowing that it's all for him.
He gives a mock-thoughtful hum against Peter's lips as they break for air] Hmm, lemme think it over—
[In his current position he doesn't have the most useful leverage. But he hasn't missed that Peter's full weight isn't on him, and that's all the opening he needs. He hooks a leg around the back of Peter's knee and braces a hand against his shoulder, and in one fluid motion pushes and twists and flips them. Peter's back hits the mattress, and suddenly Rocket's grinning down at him, all dark eyes and predatory intent as he slips a hand between them to palm Peter's dick through his pants]

He's glad that Rocket doesn't push him away, though, that maybe it's another big show of trust. Back in the day, Gamora also had some issues with unexpected touches or Peter clinging to her too much that they had to work on. He's a sucker for cuddling but, with time, he also learned to give her the space she needed and find a middle ground. Peter would be Rocket's weighed blanket any time he wants or simply stay close without touching if that's what works best for him.
He moans into the kiss in response to Rocket's willingness and the sounds the other man is making, and it's so thoroughly distracted that when Rocket flips them over, Peter lets out a startled yelp. His surprised face quickly melts into one of pure delight, and he looks up at Rocket looming over him with a smile of his own. ]
I didn't know you had it in you. [ If Peter means the strength or Rocket being this feisty, it's up in the air. He means both, so any interpretation works. The grin Rocket is giving him goes straight to his dick, and the hungry gaze makes Peter visibly shiver with anticipation. The heat of his unfulfilled pleasure is still burning low in his belly, and the feeling gets sharper when Rocket gets his hands on him, prompting Peter to throw back his head with a broken moan escaping his lips. ]
Fuck, ah... [ His hands twitch on each side of him, but he doesn't dare to reach out and touch Rocket right now, lest he stop doing whatever he has planned. He can do something else, though, and that's running his mouth in a way his friend might like. ] Rocket...Please.
