A/N: This should be canon, okay? That's all I'm saying. Just a sweet little ficlet starring our beloved Peter and Gamora. ^-^ Could be tied in with BAoND, but can also be a stand-alone sort of thing. Also, I listened to "White Dress" by Parachute while writing this. Do hope you enjoy!
"Hurry up, Gam; it's about to start!"
"You have recorded it?"
He pauses, caught in what might have been a tiny lie in the moment. He racks his brain for a suitable explanation and the grin he's got on his lips stretches from ear to ear. "Uh, yes. On my planet, we record (film is the correct term) with a device called a camera. It's a way to," he stifles a laugh, "record some our most well-known 'legends'." He's already lying on his bunk when she strides into the room.
He quickly scoots to one side, practically shoving himself against the side to make room for her. She regards him with a lopsided smile and crawls onto the small bed with him. After some fidgeting, they make the both of themselves fit. He lies on his side and pillows his head on his hand, propping himself up on an elbow. His Ravager coat is crumpled into a ball at the head of the bed, and she lies right beside him on her back with her head nestled on his chest. His other hand is draped over her stomach.
It's when he feels her shivering that he reaches for the coat, shakes it out and drapes it over her. She turns half-way toward him, eyeing him in suspicion when he flashes her a grin like the cat that's got the cream.
He starts the film.
She watches it with him, awake and aware throughout the better part of the movie until ten minutes from the end-that's when her eyes start to droop and her head lowers to rest against his chest. He only notices when he feels the slight pressure of her movement and looks down from the movie to find a sleeping Gamora. His expression softens, and (fearful to disturb her quiet) he leans down, brushes a lock of hair off her cheek and presses a kiss to her cheekbone. She shifts slightly, the corner of her lips upturning in the beginnings of a smile.
She looks so beautiful in that moment, he doesn't even notice the way his heart flutters at the sight.
A/N: Thoughts? Tell me whatever's on your mind in a review?
(Seriously, it makes my day and I live for reviews. Help a girl out?)
