❝ You know ? I think I would look really flattering in your deathkini . ❞ He has one of her old costumes , unraveled and laid over the length of his body — admiring himself in the full-body mirror , head turning this way and that , preening .

The Nova turns towards Gamora , casually sprawled in the tangle of sheets , hair carelessly draping over skin . Richard GRINS . ❝ Ya think I could pull it off ? ❞

“MMM --------- IS THIS YOUR WAY OF SAYING YOU’RE ONLY INTERESTED IN ME FOR MY WARDROBE, RIDER?” she tries to feign a bit of offense as she rolls from her back onto her stomach, chin propped up by two upturned emerald PALMS and legs criss - crossed and kicking PLAYFULLY while she takes in the rest of his PRIVATE FASHION SHOW FOR ONE.

        “and then what happens if you end up looking better than I DID, hm? will your uniform be getting a MAKEOVER? --------------- and if it doesn't, do i get to do the honors of RECLAIMING IT?”

𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄 𝐈𝐒 𝐎𝐍𝐋𝐘 𝐓𝐖𝐎 𝐏𝐄𝐎𝐏𝐋𝐄 𝐖𝐇𝐎 𝐂𝐀𝐍 𝐒𝐄𝐄 𝐇𝐈𝐌 𝐋𝐈𝐊𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒 ; tired , broken , afraid . That he could never , ever relinquish his duty as Nova Prime and isn’t that the most terrible part ? The awareness that he could never belong to her alone . He belongs to the universe as well . 

The kiss makes him feel like a monarch whose knight was swearing undying loyalty and devotion – that’s how they were , right ? Endlessly loyal ? He chuckles lightly , tearing his eyes away from the stars and to her . ❝ If I say forever , would you stay with me ? ❞

He wants to say more , but it’s interrupted by a yawn , eyelids going heavy . Demons satiated and quelled by her words . Rich rubs his eyes , almost childishly . ❝ Sleep ? ❞

HE SAYS ‘FOREVER’ AS IF IT CAN BE REAL; IT CAN BE OBTAINABLE. But sometimes she worries that he’s destined to be like the type of star that shares his name;  BURNING BRIGHTLY FOR ONLY SO LONG. But for HIM she’s willing to pretend she doesn’t see it ---------- if only for the PEACE feigning ignorance for a moment or two brings them.

        “If you said forever?”  She pretends to think about it, lips still lingering against the back of his hand while she HUMS, affording the view one last look before she glances down knowing his eyes are SQUARELY ON HER. “I would.”

And she would, in a heartbeat -------- one of hers, one of his, whichever comes first.

She lets go with an exhaled laugh, lets his hand join its match in rubbing his eyes while she tries her best not to succumb to a YAWN of her own. It’s late, remember? Gamora has to remind herself of the fact; remind herself why she came out here in the first place to RETRIEVE HIM from his thoughts. 

        “Sleep. I suppose that’s a good a thing as any to start this FOREVER with, hm?”

THE ZEN WHOBERI ISN'T ACCUSTOMED TO BEING THE ONE ON THE WRONG END OF THE HUNT -------------- she's far more comfortable being behind the business end of her blade and sedentary than having to keep following the inky - black CADENCE of her rival with her eyes and a shifting gate. it feels cumbrous and unnecessary. there's nothing worse than a cornered animal, and it seems as if now there are TWO in this equation.

       "and i have no interest in walking away EMPTY HANDED. the pound of flesh i require is much different than yours."

( negotiating isn't one of her premiere skill - sets either; in all her years and years of training, somehow arbitration fell off the syllabus in favor of something a little more HANDS ON. )

      "but it sounds like you and i are having a problem seeing eye - to - eye on all this."

BROW FURROWS WHICH CAUSES A SPIKE look at what’s left of his ship. He doesn’t remember much before waking up here but, he guesses the woman and the wreckage speak for themselves. Shit. How’s he going to get himself out of this one? At least the green woman hasn’t tried to kill him…yet.

Slowly, Kirk pushes away and up so that he might sit. Crystal hues still watch the blade, waiting for a sign of a slashing motion. He hopes it doesn’t come. “You have a funny way of showing your curiosity. Put that thing away. I have no idea who you are nor do I plan on killing you. For all I know, we’re the only ones here and you might be my ticket back to civilisation.” Jim slowly works himself into a standing position. Everything hurts. And he feels a bit lightheaded.

“CURIOSITY COMES IN MANY FORMS. MINE JUST HAPPENS TO BE A LITTLE SHARPER.” ----------- and she’s not about to lower it even after being asked by him to do so ( besides; he didn’t even say please ),  but she does manage to at least give him the benefit of enough room to SHIFT into a sitting position.

she manages to snort a laugh ------ ubliex is just about as far from civilization as either one of them will ever get. if she isn’t the one to kill him, there’s PLENTY of opportunities lurking in the shadows around them both. 

     “and what makes you think i would even take you back with me to begin with?”

SENTENCE MEME ⟶ CHARMED ( 1998 ) / 1.02 –– 1.03 always feel free to tweak the sentence to fit your muse.

“I’m gonna kill him.”

“He’s about to come over and ask if he could buy me a martini.”

“I just solved the age-old problem about who approaches whom first.”

“I told myself things would be different.”

“Our powers are not toys.”

“It was just a lousy premonition, that’s all.”

“You guys can’t control your powers any better than I can.”

“Nothing happened last night, at least nothing I’m ashamed of.”

“They can’t just be disappearing into thin air.”

“I’ll always take a compliment from a gorgeous woman.”

“Is that guy at the bar staring at me?”

“A lot of guys at the bar are staring at you.”

“I still don’t know why he’s interested.”

“Unless shattering his male ego counts for something.”

“I tend to be on the persistent side.”

“It’s incredibly unfair of you to eavesdrop on a private call and then misjudge me, based entirely on what you thought you heard.”

“You never had sex on the first date?”

“I just think we need to be extra careful.”

“Something just does not feel right to me about this.”

“You’re never afraid of anything.”

“Suddenly we wake up one day and everything is different.”

“I just want to be normal again.”

“You are the sweetest, most caring person I have ever met.”

“You’re always there to help anybody, even strangers.”

“If anyone should be concerned with being bad, it’s me.”

“You’ve got nothing to be afraid of.”

“I just don’t think I should get involved in anything right now.”

“We had sex, that doesn’t mean we have to elope.”

“Why don’t we pretend like it never happened?”

“I think she’s the luckiest woman alive.”

“Did she actually admit to doing something wrong?”

“Some of us are having a really bad hair day.”

“Let’s turn back now before it’s too late.”

“It’s never too late for a party.”

“I just want my head on a pillow because I have to wake up early.”

“We’re working on their subtlety.”

���No dog I know can open a front door, let alone reach a top shelf.”

“Either we could rely on our vicious guard cat to protect us, or we could remember to lock doors.”

“I was told that you might be able to help me.’

“I would never leave my responsibilities and my family.”

“I can see we have some issues to work through.”

“Now get out, before I have you thrown out.”

“Don’t you find it just a little suspicious?”

“I’m sorry to just show up like this.”

“People confuse us all the time.”

“I should be slapped and persecuted.”

“You’ll never believe who popped back into my life after 20 years.”

“He wants to have dinner and I would really rather avoid that.”

“He’s acting like no time passed, like I’m still his little girl, but I’m not.”

“He needs to know that that’s not okay.”

“I didn’t come back earlier because I was afraid I might disappoint you.”

“It’s kind of a relief to talk to someone about it?”

“Does anybody want coffee?”

“Am I the only one who sees what’s going on here?”

“You’re just looking for something to blame him for.”

“For the first time in your life, tell them the truth.”

“No one can hurt us as bad as you.”

“If you wanted me to leave, all you had to do was ask.”

“We could’ve just, you know, talked it out like normal people.”

“I was wondering when evil would rear its ugly head.”

“I don’t know the kind of people you’re used to dealing with, but I’d lay serious coin that they aren’t willing to rip you into a thousand pieces and dance on your entrails.”

“I don’t want to talk to you anymore.”

“Just do it, because I want to go out with a bang.”

“I no longer have a romanticized image of him.”

“At least he’s not a monster, which is very reassuring considering we share his genes.”

“I’m just glad he came back, no matter how long he stays.”

“Kind of nice feeling like a normal family again.”

“It’s probably best if we let the dust settle anyway.”

HE HATES THAT HE CANNOT         help being transparent with the zen whoberian tonight.     they both already know that something is off with him     &    Peter debates whether it’s worth pretending to be okay when those dark eyes already pierce through his flesh,     reach his solemn heart     &     already bring a semblance of solace to it.     for the deadliest woman in the galaxy,      her presence means something different to the half human than to anyone else.     

it’s death for most,     but safety for him.

❛          I’M TIRED.         ❜         his voice is groggy,     glance at the metal of his home.         ❛          it’ll pass.     nothin’ to it it’s just…         ❜         his right hand waves in the air with no direction,     then falls down on his chest.         ❛          sometimes i wonder if i should have killed my dad while i had the chance instead of     lettin’     Danvers stop me.         ❜           J’son’s face haunts him in every corner of the galaxy.     tonight is an exception to how he usually manages to forget about it.         ❛          i feel like all the bad things he does is on me now.     ‘cause i let him live.          ❜

SHE PLACES HER PALM FLAT AGAINST HIS FOREHEAD ----------------------- a trick her mother used to do when she was little; a vague memory of warmth that always made her feel calmer. ( and maybe it's a little of mantis' influence all those years ago ---- she's no empath, but gamora knows ANGUISH when she sees it. she’s just had a better track record with CREATING it instead of attempting to mitigate it. ) "i know you are."

it's never just nothing ---------- ‘ just nothing ’ is peter's version of an attempt at a PANACEA when it comes to these things., and for all his best efforts it very rarely is all that EFFECTIVE. 

      "peter----- " ( and oh, is she thankful that he can't see the way her expression DARKENS at the mention of that man. gamora hasn't exactly been SUBTLE in her opinion of his father, but now it feels more prudent to bite her tongue, at least just a little. )

       "and what sort of conversation would we be having now if you had?"

❛         duh.    ‘course it’s gonna get         unruly.     ‘s like me y’know     ?     the waves gotta be free otherwise what’s the point      ?         ❜         he comes up with that concept right on the spot.     the truth is he gets lazy,     or forgets about it…    rather he enjoyed the way he looked a little too much the past months.     the question makes him want to shoot forward,      however he holds back knowing the situation is fragile.     Peter feels like he’s on an operation table.    

❛          oh hell no,     gam      !     we’re just goin’ for a gentle    TRIM     here.     don’t mess with the overall style,     and especially not with the curl that’s on the right side.     where’s the mirror     ?     i need a mirror.          ❜

“SINCE WHEN DOES ONE’S PRESENTATION OF THEIR FOLLICLES SOLEY DICTATE THEIR PERSONALITY?”  

if that’s truly the case, she’s got some PRESSING QUESTIONS about what her hair says about her. but the way he lurches FORWARD has her pulling him back into the chair ( gently ) by the scalp. “hey hey hey ---------------------”

      “no mirror until i’m done, you know the rules.” think of it as one of those TRUST FALLS, peter -------- only its hair doing the tumbling instead of him. “i promise when i’m done you’ll still have PLENTY to run you fingers through. for now though, you have to TRUST ME.”

𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐈𝐑 𝐋𝐎𝐕𝐄 𝐈𝐒 𝐖𝐀𝐑 𝐒𝐍𝐀𝐑𝐋𝐒 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐆𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐋𝐄 𝐁𝐋𝐎𝐎𝐃𝐘 𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐃𝐒 ; Richard liked to think the bond that they had was far different from any other , a diamond amid coal , made beautiful by pressure and pain . But if he could – Rich would want to take away every single hardship in their life , find peace when they so desperately needed it . How many more wars would they have until they could rest ?

Rich chuckles , stretching high on his toes , kinetic motion fueled by his own excitement . It would be nice to go out again , partly because it’s been so long and also because Rich took sadistic pleasure from seeing the looks on people’s faces when they enter an establishment . Awe , fear and envy . Rich KNOWS how they look , best looking people in all of the fucking cosmos and twice as deadly .

❝ Is there really a proper way of asking ? ❞ But he humours her , always has and always will . ❝ Fine , fineeeee . Will you , Gamora , Miss . Deadliest-Woman-In-The-Galaxy , go out on a date with me and maybe dance a lil ? ❞

IT ALWAYS FEELS AS THOUGH THESE MOMENTS WILL LAST WHEN THEY'RE IN THEM ------------- that time will learn to allow them to shift from merely interludes in the middle of two lives that are nothing short of CHAOTIC to something more normal; more INFINITE. perhaps a chance to be SEDENTARY for a change. ( and then there are those times in which she wonders if these little respites are all they're ever going to be allowed ----- if somehow they're only destined to be star - crossed and these points will never be FIXED and only fleeting. )

which means she has to make the most of the here and now; they both do. and there's no proper way to deal with that realization, but she figures he'll do just FINE.

         "yes. yes, richard - human, i will go out on a date with you." a beat as she pretends to mull over the second part of his oh - so - formal request -------- gamora doing her best to MIMIC AND MIRROR his little ebb and flow. ( it's only fitting, seeing how he is in so many ways her other half ----- a reflection of the good in her that she didn't always see. for all that she's done, for what her past still holds and what she still feels that she needs to ATONE for, somehow she's done enough to be worthy of his affections; of pursuit and DEVOTION. )

        "and perhaps even dance a little. but i get to choose the song." a condition that seems FAIR ENOUGH that she can't possibly imagine him TURNING IT DOWN. she offers him her hand, delicately bent at the wrist, just waiting for him to take it and slide his fingers in the spaces between hers.

        "i could do with something a little SLOWER than what you were demonstrating before."
