Okay, I have a bit of explaining to do. The reason the story hasn't been updated in so long is because I have been settling into my new house in the city - which is a drastic change from the woods I practically used to live in. But enough of that. I've decided to make this chapter all about the ways our boys say "I Love You". Enjoy!
Peter Quill: After realizing how difficult it was for you to tell him you loved him, he's decided to go for a more subtle approach to express his feelings for you. It doesn't matter if it's the smallest brush of your fingers or giving you a gentle hug. He never fails to make you feel loved and like you really matter to him, which, after a lifetime of shallow infatuations, feels like you can finally relax with another human being.
Drax: If there's one redeeming quality about the Destroyer, it's his brutal honesty about his feelings. It doesn't matter where you are or what you're doing, you'll suddenly find yourself being smothered with affection. It isn't very appreciated in public, but you don't really try to resist because you know you'll hurt his feelings if you don't return the affection, and because you secretly adore it.
Rocket: You never really expected to be showered in compliments and praises when you first started dating Rocket and you didn't get any. The two of you were just happy being in each other's company. That was, until Drax started coming onto you. You brushed him off, thinking he'd get over it since you were with Rocket, but he didn't. Now Rocket feels compelled to guard you every second Drax is in the room and growls when he feels Drax is too close to you. When you're separate from everyone else, Rocket endlessly kisses you. It isn't until later that it gets pointed out to you that you have bite marks all over you neck and collarbone. It's his way of marking you as his.
Groot: The tree giant is known for being a huge softy and this goes double for you. Never once has he ever turned you away when you needed attention or simply wanted to cuddle. The cuteness of the two of you makes all the Guardians want to puke. However, the sweetest affection is the kind no one sees. He recently started sharing a room with you after he grew back to his normal state and you suffered from frequent nightmares. The whimpers and nonsense you uttered in your sleep were enough to awaken Groot, so he would make his bark sprout soft grass, and the wonderful smell often calmed you down. He would stay awake until you were sleeping peacefully with no threat of nightmares.
Yondu: This Ravager realized a long time before you started dating that he had fallen in love with you. He felt very badly about how sexist he had been to you before - forcing you to do all the cleaning and cooking. So, to show you how much he cared about you, he started to let you work in the main engines, where you'd obviously taken an interest. But no matter how much time he let you stay down there, it still wasn't getting through your head how he loved you. It was a whole two years before he couldn't handle it anymore and decided to make you his girlfriend (without your consent of course). He shows his love for you in every way he touched you, kissed you, and repeat endlessly that he loved you.
Ronan: Kree courting doesn't welcome frequent touching and kissing in public and Ronan always makes sure there's no less than three feet between you. But it's a whole different story when the two of you are alone. He can become rather aggressive when he is kissing you and often leaves a trail of bruises and hickeys behind, but you would be a lying liar who lies if you said that it bothers you. Ronan is just as equally taken with you. Most species would consider Kree courting to be far too violent to be considered affectionate. But not you. You never pushed him away for being too rough and considers your naivety to be very attractive.
Guys, if you want to make a suggestion, don't hesitate to tell me! I'm always open for suggestions.
