ooc: Starter here - She dislocated his arm and then brought him two tequila shots while she put it back in the socket.
I can try to give the guy some pointers. Like, what not to do to piss off Nebula. The list is long.
Ey no, it's all right. We were figuring things out at the beginning, and you're way stronger than me. It was nothing I couldn't take, and you look so very sexy when you are all bossy.
That will take me less. And it will be mostly about food, but maybe he could take her to a nice restaurant or somewhere for a date. Someplace where nothing ends exploding.
Yesss? [ But it's so much fun. ] Oh, are you mad now?
[Once again Gamora must live two terrible truths: she loves her boyfriend's smile and naked body while resenting he can get under her skin. Her pouting only intensifies as she stares at his chest for far too long considering she's mapped it with her eyes, mouth, and hands a thousand times over at this point.]
I'm not pouting! And you are not seducing me, Peter Quill. Our only concern is helping my sister.
[ The duality of being in a relationship, sorry Gamora. ]
I bet you're pouting harder now that I brought it up.
But worry not, I can multitask. I promise that I'll talk to the guy to let him know some of the things she likes, and I'll also check if he's not some creep hiding something or with a shady background. [ One never knows, and after Ego, Peter knows better than to trust appearances and an easy smile. ]
He's most likely nursing his injured shoulder tonight, that can wait until tomorrow. And that means that we have the night all to ourselves. Would it be so bad if I were trying to seduce my own girlfriend? You deserve all the seducing. And it's fun!
Of course I am going to help. But don't' tell Nebula; I Â don't' think she would like me getting involved, and I like to keep all my limbs attached to my body. Â
[ That's all right, Peter is romantic enough for the both of them. He actually laughed at the direct approach. ]
Why, thanks for giving me permission. 'What else do I have?' You're making it sound as if I am selling you wares. But since you asked, hm.... I have quite skilled hands and a mouth good for more than just beautiful singing; you should let me show you my talents in person.
I do, I know. I wasn't doubting you, just making sure this wasn't going to blow up in our faces, that's all.
Yes, well, I haven't heard any specific complaints about my, uh, goods, so I like to think that you still like what I am selling.Â
[ For real. What else Peter could ask for after this incredible display of wooing? But, to be honest, he likes anything she does, and he knows Gamora is just like this, so the conversation is fun for him too. ]
What about the east wing, sector 3 of the Bowie? It has a huge window with nice views of space, and it's not that far away from our bedroom.
[ And to the east wing, he goes, but Peter makes sure to hunt down Groot first and ask him to make a rose so he can offer it to Gamora. Groot is all too happy to oblige.
Peter keeps it behind his back, looking not at all inconspicuous as he walks into the room. ]
[Gamora gets there first. Little surprise to anyone. She always has to vet wherever they go together even at home. It is silly and pointless. They're safe here. Rocket has every possible defense against intruders. Gamora is a creature of habit.
It's why she's cleaning her perfectly maintained sword while she waits.
How her eyes light up at the sight of Peter is the only thing that can pass for new. To Gamora, Peter's existence makes the galaxy a bit better each time she sees him. Sentimental. Foolish. She knows it.
The smile creeps up anyway.] I usually don't let people approach me unless I can see their hands.
[She warns playfully. As always, he's the exception.]
[ The fact that she's already there is more of a comfort to Peter than anything. He knows about Gamora's habits and the reason behind each one of them. He wishes she had it easier to relax, but he appreciates that most of the things she does are to keep them all safe. ]
Ah, but I'm not just 'people', aren't I? [ He saunters into the room with a renewed smile on his face and places a hand on the curve of Gamora's him. Pressing close to her, he nuzzles the side of her face. ]
But well, if you insist. [ His other hand finally moves from behind his back to present her with a rose so red it matches the tips of her hair. ] Another of those silly Terran customs. Giving flowers to the one you love. That is what roses mean to us.
[Gamora makes a show of thinking over the question. She doesn't make Peter wait in suspense for long. She sheaths her sword and rises to meet her boyfriend.] No, you're not.
[A huge, warm smile forms as he nuzzles her first. She soaks up every bit of affection he offers in private. Today is no exception.
The rose actually does take her by surprise when it is presented to her. Those big brown eyes widen. Gamora is quick to accept it. She breathes in the sweet scent, noting how the color matches her hair. It's a small, meaningful detail. Peter excels at those as a partner. It never fails to capture her heart. Rather than answer verbally, she shows her approval with a kiss.]

Yes, very.
You look cute when you pout, 'Mora.
[ See, to make it even he's going to send her a picture too. He's smiling and winkling at the camera, so he looks way happier than she did.
He's also shirtless. ]

Just as I know you are selling me something. I'm willing to meet in person to discuss terms. You may pick the location best suited to your 'talents.'
