Who: Peter Quill and Gamora
What: A reboot
Where: Gamora's room in her house
When: September 11th AM

Gamora could feel the wind in her face, it wasn't like falling, not really. She didn't feel like she was moving at all, it stretched on forever and in those moments she lived her life again. The pain and the pleasure, she was born, she fell in love, she found a home and lost everything.

The last thing she saw, or she thought she saw was a stream of bubbles in the air and felt a surge of affection. There hadn't ever been a time in her life when she'd ever really been surprised by someone like she'd been surprised by Quill. Even knowing him as well as she did, his act of utter selflessness, staying true to his promise, maybe he hadn't succeeded but he'd done it and that was everything.

And then she died.

She sat up in bed with a jolt, disorientated but already with a knife in hand. But there wasn't anyone there, well except Quill pressed up against her in the slightly too small and yet perfectly sized bed. Gamora's heart raced and she elbowed him hard in the ribs. "Wake. Wake up."

Other people would have promised, they would have sworn it and when it came down to it they wouldn't have been able to do it. But Peter? Peter could do it. For no other reason but for her, to save her from further suffering, to do as she'd asked. That kind of love wasn't something normal people ever got to experience. But they weren't exactly normal.

It was strange, this place and all it was and wasn't. She knew more now, more than she had any business knowing and it had brought them closer.

After what felt like lifetimes apart they melted together, his mouth soft against her own. "Now? Well we move your things in here," Gamora said as she glanced around. "And you with them."

He hadn't wanted to do it. But he would have. Had tried to. Had hated himself and that fucking reality store for forever now, because it'd gone and fucked everything up and he should have expected it. He really should have.

But. It felt a little less important now that she was here. And somehow pleased with his work, as if he hadn't failed spectacularly. It'd always been a little hard to tell when Gamora was going to approve of his behavior though, so maybe he'd just take her at her word about it for now.

"Oh," he said quietly, feeling rather pleased with that response. Because it'd been about what he wanted since forever. At least since she'd shown him around town, pointed out the empty house next to hers. "Well," he said, leaning up a little more to press their lips together again. He'd never get enough of that. "Maybe we can wait a while on packing. Since we're already here."
