#「 r. i see the stars and think of you ( anita ; peter ) 」

He leaned on the side of the building, smiling and just watching her perform. She was poetry in motion and he didn't want to interrupt her concentration. Luck or fate, whichever one chose to believe, had brought her to his neighborhood. He wouldn't let the chance pass him by, no never again. When it seemed she was allowed a break from the action, Peter Quill approached.

"Hey, I heard there was a beautiful lady in the area. I just had to see for myself." He gave her a cheeky wink before wrapping her in a loving embrace. "Damn, Anita... I missed ya."

She didn't understand the technical and financial side of movies. When Anita heard something about ' film incentives ' and bills, she didn't care. It soared right over her head because all she really cared about was the fact that a handsome, cunning, highly ( and sometimes annoyingly ) charming space-man had been born in Missouri.

A quick and cheeky text had been tossed in his direction, but she didn't expect a reply. She assumed he was out beyond the stars, saving people and doing what Guardians did best. ( She had no idea. If she did, she wouldn't work. She couldn't work. What she imagined was far too pleasant and hopeful compared to the horror he and his crew had gone through. )

But she sent it anyway, thinking she was clever.

[ space-dweeb 💙 ]

‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏Hey, guess what? ‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏I got a job filming in your neck of the woods! ‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎I know this isn't really your home anymore, but... ‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎Still makes me think of you.

The more she typed, the less clever she felt. By the time she reached the end of the message string, she ached. A few months was nothing compared to the five years without him, but after being without for so long, it made her realized just how deep her love for him really was.

There were no replies. No hint that he had read her messages. She didn't mind. She had work to distract her. Choreographed fights kept her focused, jumps taken from entirely too high helped her blood rush and her heart race.

Though, her blood never rushed quite as fast as when she heard his voice.

She was sticky with sweat, her hair was a mess and she looked the slightest bit worn out, but none that mattered when she whipped around to find her Star-Lord standing behind her.

"Peter!" Forgetting that she was meant to be in a vaguely professional setting, she bolted for the man and flung her arms around his middle. She buried her face into his chest, breathed deeply into his scent and let out a muffled, dry sob of relief.

She remained like that for a while, until her lungs demanded air. Chin up, eyes wet but smile ever-present — until she noticed how much thinner his face appeared and how sad his eyes looked.

"I missed you too, big guy. Like, a lot." Both hands took his stubbly face, but she didn't yank him down for a kiss like she so badly wanted to. That could wait until later, when there weren't several pairs of eyes trained on them. "I'm stupidly happy you're here. You're gonna stick around, right? I have a feeling we've got loads to catch up on."

❛ You make me smile … and also super horny, but that’s not the point. ❜ (Quill to Anita)

Her head gave a small, quizzical tilt as the voice of her captain and beloved space-man sounded behind her. It didn't surprise her that he would say something so shameless — she had bent over to pick something up, after all — but there was one part of his bold statement that made her wonder.

"I'm real flattered, Star-Dweeb, but aren't you always horny?" With a grunt, she lifted the crate she needed up into her arms. A few wobbling steps forward, and she found herself in front of Peter. Years ago, she would have rolled her eyes and disregarded his constant need to think with his other head, but after five years without, after all the trouble they had survived, all she wanted to do was indulge him as often as possible.

Life was short, even in space, so they ought to enjoy it.

"If we're being honest now, you get me going too." She bit down on the inside of her lower lip and tapped her foot against his leg. "Help me clean up like you said you would, and I'll give you a reason to smile after."

spots to kiss + 24 (Quill to Anita)

She couldn’t remember for how long she had been laying there, not that it mattered. Tucked under his covers, safe in the warmth of his embrace, Anita hardly felt a care in the world. She knew she could freely lounge around for as long as she liked, mostly because she hadn’t a single to do while they aimlessly roamed through the vast expanse of space. So she snuggled back into his chest and greedily basked in how broad, warm and safe he was.

“Don’t get up yet.” She knew from the way his arm flexed around her waist that he wasn’t asleep, so she mumbled a single, needy plea before falling silent again. Then, against the curve of her shoulder, she felt his lips press and his stubble scratch. A deep shudder traveled the length of her frame a, compelling her to wiggle closer still. Fortunately for her easily embarrassed self, he couldn’t see how the simple kiss made her red in the cheeks. “You think you’re cute, don’t you?”

A little squirm, and she proceeded to mutter under her breath. “Do it again.  .  .”

💕for a deep, passionate kiss ( Quill to Anita )

Waiting was torture — horrible, suffocating, mind-numbing torture.

The fact that he had found a way to communicate with her had appeased some of the overwhelming anxiety in her chest, but waiting for him to show up at the spot he had designated made all of the nauseating feelings come back.

And when he did arrive, he wouldn’t find the woman he was used to. She wasn’t stoic, she wasn’t yawning to emphasize how bored she had become during her wait. She fidgeted, she sniffled, she paced. She dug her shaking fingers into her slick hair and muttered to herself. All of what she externalized rapidly became internalized, however, the moment she spotted him out of the corner of her eyes. All the shaking and fretting and constantly assuming the worse was sucked into the deepest part of her heart before it exploded violently and reduced her to a scrunch-faced, sobbing mess.

He looked to be as much of a mess as she was, but that didn’t stop her from grabbing his face and slamming her lips against his. It wasn’t a graceful kiss, not by any means. She could hardly breath past their mashed lips and roaming tongues, but it hardly mattered. For five years, she had missed the way he felt. His heat, the scent, the way his stubble felt under her fingers.

She couldn’t remember the last time she had kissed him, but she had been convinced that it was the last. And now that she had him in front of him, she intended to kiss him as often as she could, as intensely as she could, until they had made up for all the time they had lost.

SEVEN MINUTES (Quill to Anita)

｢ meme / @houseofvaricty​ ｣       shy/awkward kiss

Anita learned in approximately half a second that closets on Earth and closets on a space-faring ships were vastly different. Both were uncomfortable and dark, but after being jostled around with all manner of equipment, elbows bumping against the hard metal walls, she decided she hated space closets the most.

“This is dumb and I hate it.” She thought she heard Quill laugh, but even if she’d mistaken the sound, she still gave him a firm punch to his chest. Given what little space they had between them, it wasn’t an effective punch. It didn’t bruise, but it did let him know that she was thoroughly flustered. “But I guess if I had to be stuck in here with someone, you’re the best option.”

Gamora was intimidating, Rocket was too hairy, Groot was like the little tree brother she never knew she needed, Mantis was too generous with her unwanted emotional readings and Drax — no. A thousand times, no. Peter was, unfortunately for her, the only one she could imagine herself kissing, despite her many attempts to resist his charms.

“You get one, and that’s it. Don’t be an ass about this.” She jabbed at his chest in warning before reaching up to link her fingers behind his neck. For as long as it took for her to pull him down, she cursed his height. Why did he have to be so damn tall? Without thinking, she grumbled to herself just as her lips softly, awkwardly met with his. It was barely a kiss, but it was felt, and it made every nerve in her body vibrate.

She didn’t dare let it linger. She knew that if she did, she would be done for. Every ounce of her restraint would evaporate and scatter like so many stars in the galaxy. So she parted from him as soon as possible, her cheeks burning but hidden from him thanks to the dark of the closet. “T—There, ya happy?”

“stop teasing me so much” ( Quill to Anita )

“Who said I was teasin’ you?” His disgruntled plea was met with a huff and a small, seemingly absentminded wiggle of her hips. “I’m doin’ what you told me to do. I’m sittin’ here.”

It had taken her weeks of childish begging just to get this far. He wouldn’t let her take the controls and pilot ‘his baby’ like she wanted to, but this was a start. Sitting in the captain’s seat, eyes attempting to catch anything and everything that flickered past on the display in front of her, she couldn’t help but to admire the man seated behind her a little more.

But it wasn’t enough to just sit there. She wanted to learn to fly the ship, and the more he denied her, the more antsy it made her. It wasn’t fair! Anita was certain that she would have to want to crash to make it happen, since there was nothing solid as far as the eye could see.

She didn’t give in to pettiness often, but he made it so easy. If he didn’t want to give her the chance, then she would show him what it was like to miss out.

Softly and with only a hint of a snicker, she pressed the curves of her bottom against the front of his pants. It didn’t surprise her to feel the results of her teasing, but she swore to herself that she wouldn’t react. As nonchalantly as possible, she continued to lean back, her back resting against his broad chest and head against his shoulder. “Do you not want me to sit here anymore? ‘Cause I can go.  .  .”

BADLY, flirts with. (From Quill to Anita~)

— actions / @houseofvaricty

The laugh that tore out of her was so deep with mirth that it surprised even her. The sound died down instantly and became a softer, more girlish giggle before she dropped her face into her hands. She was embarrassed that the over-used and extremely, horrifically corny line had gotten a reaction out of her, but she planned to hide the fluttering in her gut behind sarcasm and lots of unneeded questions.

“Alright, seriously, where do you even get these lines? They’re so bad!” It almost felt like they worked in spite of her. Anita couldn’t help but to shudder when awful pick-up lines were used in earnest, but the space-man’s delivery and the way he grinned at her when he spoke made her wonder if he was using how bad they were to his advantage. He had made her laugh, after all, and she couldn’t deny that.

But as giddy as he’d made her, there was a sobering thought that came to mind.

Leaning forward, arms folded over the table, Anita frowned. “Don’t you ever get tired of it? Flirting all the time, I mean. N—Not with just me. Anyone would get tired of that. But don’t you get bored going from one person to another?”
