Who: Peter Quill and Kate Bishop What: Can't avoid each other When: Monday afternoon Where: Their house Warnings: TBD Status: Closed/in progress
So he'd pretty much been avoiding Kate since the week of being an undercover couple and that worked out because he was pretty sure she was making herself scarce too but the problem was they both lived in the same house so you couldn't hide away from each other forever. He knew that but in the meantime he'd been teasing the hell out of Tucker about the situation with him and Wash (and living dangerously by asking questions about Carolina) and avoiding thinking.
The problem with not thinking was you weren't thinking and so he wasn't really braced for Kate being there when he came around a corner into the kitchen and almost walked right into Kate coming out. "Oh..uh hi." Was it too late to just duck out a window in a casual action movie escape? Yeah, probably. Damn it.
