There’s a brief mention of Peter being “illegitimate” and the term “bastard” being used about him, if that’s a trigger for anyone
Peter’s sitting on the grass when she finds him, back against a tree. He smiles and takes his earbuds out as she approaches; it’s not like he’d been trying to hide, really, especially not from her. He’d only gone a couple of feet into the woods.
“Hey,” Gamora says. “You alright?”
“Yeah,” he says honestly. “Just wanted a moment away from all–that.” He gestures vaguely the way she’d come, where the wreckage of the Milano sits. “Not you, though, if you wanna join.”
He sits up a little straighter and pats the ground between his legs. He’s not sure if she’ll take the invitation; this thing between them is still new and a bit tentative, though they’ve come so far in just the past couple days.
It only takes her a second of consideration, though, then she’s sitting on the ground and leaning back against his chest, smiling tentatively up at him. He smiles back, heart about ready to burst just from having her so close like this.
“Comfy?” he asks, wrapping his arms around her waist after waiting for her nod.
“Yes,” she says simply, relaxing further into him and laying her arms across his.
“It’s peaceful out here,” he observes after a moment. “We should find more places with nature like this. Preferably without crashing into them.”
“Not our most graceful moment,” she agrees. “Though Drax enjoyed it.”
