A/N: I haven’t wrote for marvel in ages, so I’d normally deny something like this, BUT. Gotg happens to be like, top 5 favorite movies marvel wise so I gotta. Plus, I need to get out of my like, 3 month writer block LOL. I’m rusty. So fair warning. I also typically don’t do like, shipping/dynamic HCs? It’s usually for a single character. So I’m hyped! (Also, had to rewrite due to tumblr not wishing to save it. RIP.)
StarMora/Star-Lord and Gamora Tickle HCs:
• Alright! Let’s start this off simple, how did one another find out about the other being ticklish.
• Quill happened to be getting close to her, literally. He was scooting close to her because they had decided to stay back at the ship while the others went to explore. He was being confident as usual, asked her to dance. No biggie.
• Until her touch was extremely gentle when her her hands went back to his side/ribs.
• From confidence and a smooth dance, lovely moment, then he just kinda squeaked/yelped.
• As if that suddenly happening wasn’t enough, Gamora then asked what it was and it went from tracing to some scribbles. AND HE DIDNT WANNA SHOVE HER AWAY SO. He just. Kinda. Let her tickle him and get him all giggly.
• And with her being very direct and deciding to be a little bit soft for him since the others weren’t there, she happened to ask if she could continue since she wasn’t very familiar with it.
• PLACE YOUR BETS ON WHAT HAPPENED.
• However, Peter tended to love affection, whether it’s tickles, hugs, secret handshake, you name it. He probably loves it. So he ended up letting her. Though, in front of others he acted tough for the sake of being taken seriously- but shhh-
• She did stop sooner or later after making him a smiley, laughing, slightly flustered mess.
• And Quill. Oh Quill. He decided after he recovered and was slightly tingly, that he wanted to test something. He slipped his hands over and started scribbling around her tummy and sides.
• And impressively, she didn’t sock him! Well done Star-Lord! Actually she even decided to be fair for a moment and let him while slightly pushing him away. Though she started to poke him once he found a better spot.
• But needless to say this was a bit forgotten since the rest of the guardians showed up soon after.
• BUT THEN. The guardians found out Quill was, well, embarrassingly ticklish thanks to him being human/Terran, it sparked a tickle fight. And it served as a reminder of sensitivity.
• Gamora and Quill ended up in a tickle fight the next time they were alone.
• Gamora honestly finds him being ticklish both adorable and kinda amusing. Mainly since he tries to act all confident and then just squeals upon being tazed.
• However, he seems to like being on mostly even ground and being the main one to introduce her to the concept, along with her actually laughing. It just makes him quite happy.
• She’ll gladly wreck him to knock him down a peg or two. But it’s all in good fun for them.
• I can see Quill being the one to start tickle fights either as a attempt to make her laugh at a sucky joke or something along those lines. Gamora starting tickle fights is very rare and if she does? Everyone is in for it, whoever it is started with, she will finish and win it.
• And a final one for the time being! Hmm. Just for that extra bit of fluff, whenever they give kisses, one of them (it switches a lot) will just start quickly/rapidly give neck kisses to make the other giggle because it’s tickly.
There you go! Hope you’ve enjoyed. After not writing for a long time and recently revisiting marvel as a fandom, this was a nice little change. Thank you for the request! :)
Synopsis: Peter and Gamora spend their honeymoon on Earth. This little snippet takes place during a moonlit drive on their road trip through the United States.
“You’re my kind of man, so big and so strong...”
The stereo crooned a comfortingly familiar tune as Peter drove down the desolate highway. Gamora reached over to squeeze his hand, the wind ruffling her hair and slightly stinging her face. He snuck a glimpse of her, and they shared a warm smile.
“You doing okay?” He asked, lacing the fingers of his free hand with hers. She picked up his hand and brought it gently to her lips.
“I’m great. A little hungry though. You didn’t happen to pack any extra snacks, did you?”
“Oh, no need, hun. I see a Sonic up ahead.”
“Sonic?”
“You know, fast food?”
Gamora raised a confused eyebrow. “No, I don’t.”
“Oh, then this will be good. Fast food is an American staple.”
“Lead the way.”
Moments later, they were sitting in an empty parking lot. Peter’s lap was overflowing with tater tots and fries, and Gamora was sipping on a chocolate milkshake.
“So, what do you think?” Asked Peter, giving his new wife a playful smirk from behind the straw of his soda.
“Not too shabby.” She replied, reaching over to steal one of his fries. “But I can’t believe they brought the food out on roller-skates. What was the point of that?”
“Eh, it’s part of the charm.” He shrugged.
“You know, it’s funny. This is technically our first date.” Gamora said, meeting her husband’s eyes with a small smile.
“Only took us a few years and a wedding to get here.” He replied with a chuckle.
“It was worth it, though.”
“Every second.” He agreed, reaching over to cup her face before leaning in and kissing her.
She leaned her head on his shoulder, and they stared up at the stars together. Their breathing synched as a chorus of crickets and white road noise serenaded them.
“I wonder where my home planet is.” Gamora whispered sadly, searching the sky for something she knew she could never find.
“Would you ever want to go back?” Peter asked, tightening his arm around her shoulders as she began to shiver.
“No.” She replied, curling up against his side. “Not yet, anyway. My home is wherever you are. And that’s more than enough for me.”
“God, I love you.” He murmured, planting a kiss on the top of her head.
