Characters: Nebula x Reader Warnings: Fluff! Synopsis: When the other Guardians leave, you and Nebula guard the ship.
In each other’s arms.
“Do you think the
others would be mad if they knew we just cuddled when they left us to guard the
ship?”
Nebula looked up at
you.
“I don’t think I
care”
You smiled at her
and leant in for a soft kiss. You laid back and she settled back onto your
stomach. You could spend hours with her lying intertwined with you. You tighten
your arms around her and enjoy the moment.
“I don’t think I do
either”
Nebula hums and
sits up, turning her body to face you. She waves you over and you move to sit
up on the sofa with her, she places an arm around you.
“What’s your
favourite thing about cuddles?”
You place your head
in the crook of her neck.
“I don’t know, what’s
yours?”
Nebula shifts and pulls
your legs up over her lap, she nudges you closer and as you shuffle along the
couch, moving closer to her body. She hums once more, thinking. A silence
passes over you, she’s still pondering the question, deeply thinking about it.
You know better than to interrupt her thinking, she’ll tell you when she’s
ready.
“I know what it is”
she says quietly.
You look up at her
curiously. She smiles and moves your legs down, she stands up from the sofa and
picks your legs back up.
“My favourite thing-”
She puts your legs
down on the sofa before situating herself between them.
“-about cuddling
with you”
She lies down, her
ear against your chest.
“Is when I can hear
your heartbeat.”
You smile and wrap
your arms around her once again, she nuzzles the fabric of your shirt.
“It’s calming”
You lie back,
satisfied with her answer. Her breathing starts to shallow and after a few more
minutes she’s asleep, and all you can think about is how much you love her.
