hii if you’re still doing requests for the guardians could you do something with rocket and peter getting jealous when the other is getting attention from reader. they’ve argued in the past about who’s captain so i definitely think they’d argue over who the reader’s favourite is (ofc they love them both equally) and get jealous. also maybe reader gets overwhelmed with the bickering so drax, groot or gamora have to step in get them to stop and to calm reader down. <3
"Come to me baby!" Peter opens his arms wide for you to run into.
"No, come to me little one." Rocket waves as you’re contemplating your decision.
Peter smile when it looks like you are walking towards him but it drops the second you rush over to Rocket with a giggle.
"See, I told you! I'm her favorite." Rocket smirks, ruffling your hair and Peter is about to complain when he sees you nibbling on some candy.
"You cheated! We said no bribing!" He points out while you just make your way over to Drax.
"Not my fault you believed I was going to listen to your conditions," Rocket replies bluntly with a shrug.
Drax shakes his head at the two, his gaze dropping down to you, seeing you enjoy your small treat.
"What did he give you?" He asks with a slight smile and you smile back, showing him the candy.
"A lollipop!" You giggle, raising your arms as you make grabby hands. "Up?" You ask sweetly and he nods, sitting down before helping you get comfortable on his lap, your back to his chest as you listen to Peter and Rocket's bickering.
"I am Groot."
"On which side are you?!" Peter crosses him with a raised eyebrow.
"I am Groot."
He throws his arms in the air. "Unbelievable."
Rockets throws his head back with a laugh. "Quill, just accept that I'm her first choice."
You sigh, getting startled by Mantis grabbing your hand gently, her antennas starting glow, they amaze you every time.
"She's overwhelmed." She frowns, her thumb rubbing subconsciously against your skin.
Drax tenses slightly. "What causes it?"
Mantis the points at Peter and the others who are still arguing. "It's them."
Gamora, who heard everything Mantis said finally has enough, approaching Drax to picking you up from his lap, marching towards the two idiots.
She puts a hand over your ear and gently places your head on her shoulder before snapping. "Hey! Look at what you morons are doing. You're acting here like children even though she told us that she loves everyone equally," She glares, turning to Peter. "Multiple times."
Peter then gets a look at your face, instantly feeling guilty as Gamora then turns to Rocket so he can also see what he did.
"I don't want to hear any of that again. Are-" She stops mid-sentence when you lift your head up again.
"Please, no fightin‘." You pout, hated it whenever they are arguing, sometimes it is all fun and games, but it could escalate quickly and you can't stand it when people are shouting around you.
"I'm scolding them, love. What they did isn’t alright, you understand?" She explains and you nod, a smile on your face again.
"Is okay now! I better." You wriggle out of Gamora's arms and dance your way to your room, already forgetting what just happened as you’re determined to play.
Gamora waits until she’s sure you are out of earshot, smacking Rocket and Peter on the back of their heads. "Knock it off you both. I’m serious." She spits out, walking off in your direction as well.
Peter rubs his head, giving Rocket one last glare and whispers. "At least she will cuddle with me later." As he is about to round the corner to your room he flips Rocket off.
"You little-" Rocket stops himself, taking a deep breath. "It's not worth it. It's just not worth it."
"I am Groot."
"Sure, buddy, you're above Quill."
Peter peaks inside your room and smiles as he sees you cuddling with gamora as she's telling the end of a story.
"And then your daddy came and saved me," She says and smiles a bit at the memory, knowing that Peter is watching you both as she adds. "But he's not very sneaky is he?"
You pull your head up to look at Peter with a giggle. "No, he not."
"Yeah, I get it." He sigh, walking over to slip right next to your other side.
You snuggle closer to him, saying in a more serious tone. "Daddy."
"Yes?"
"I love you all," You tell him firmly and place your head on his shoulder, wrapping yourself a little more around him.
"We love you too, little star."
Later that day, you are sitting beside Rocket, watching him repair something shiny.
"You good? You have been really quiet," He states, not looking away from what he is doing.
"Mhm!" You nod quickly. "Rocket, you know I luv you too right?"
Rocket stops his movements before smirking your way. "I love ya too, kid," He says, leaning over to ruffle your hair.
