Chapter 8: Stalkers
"Y-yeah." Red said rubbing the back of her neck. The silence between the two became awkward after a few moments. Rocket abruptly got up and moved his basket seat back over to its usual spot and began to start tinkering, humming to himself as he did so. Red watched from her spot at the other side of the room. She noticed Rocket taking stuff off the ship.
"Rocket, don't you think Peter won't like that your takin' apart his ship?" Red said.
"Your point is?" Rocket said, not looking up. "See, you may have not noticed, but I honestly don't care what Quill thinks I do when I tinker." Rocket looked up. Red chuckled a little and laid back down, covering her eyes with her arm again. Red could hear Rocket humming again and she smiled to herself, the humming making her fall asleep.

Rocket noticed Red had fallen asleep, he stopped humming and sighed. He got up and went over to Red.
"Gah, I hate my life." Rocket muttered, gathering up Red in his arms and carrying her to Gamora's room. He kept glancing around nervously, not wanting any of the other Guardians to know that he was helping someone for a reason that wasn't in his own gain. Red wasn't heavy, but she wasn't light either. There was some struggle, but it wasn't to the point where he had to drop her just to get feeling back into his arms. Once they got to Gamora's room, Rocket set Red on the foot of the bed, knowing Gamora would probably make Red move there anyway.
Rocket got a stupid idea, and he looked around, nervous on the action he was about to do. Seeing no one was there, Rocket carefully leaned over Red and kissed her on the forehead. When Rocket pulled away he immediately regretted doing so, he felt like an idiot, but he smiled to himself, pushing down the feeling of regret. Rocket left the room, closing the door behind him and he let out a small scream at seeing Gamora's towering figure there.
"Ahh! Jesus Christ, lady! Give me a heart attack why don'cha!" Rocket said to Gamora.
"What were you doing in my quarters?" Gamora asked.
"Putting Red in there so she didn't pass out in common area, it'd make the hangover even worse. Do you wanna hear complaining about an aching back? Yeah, thought so." Rocket said.
"I saw what you did before you left." Gamora said smirking.
"What'd I do then, jackass?" Rocket said, not trusting that she did see.
"You kissed her." Gamora's smirk widened.
"Did not."
"Did to."
"Liar."
"Shut up." Rocket moved his way past Gamora to the front of the ship to where the other Guardians were. Gamora followed, smirking to herself.
"So Rocket, what'd you do with Red?" Peter asked once Rocket sat down in his seat.
"Nothing, I took her to Gamora's room and that's it."
"That isn't what happened in the camera feed." Drax said.
"Drax! What the hell man? That was between you, me, and She-Hulk!" Peter said.
"That is not my name, moron." Gamora growled to Peter.
"I was just joking jeez, give me a break." Peter said. "Why does my team have to have the kill-joys?" He muttered the last part. Rocket caught it though and tried to not laugh out loud, but then he remembered what Drax said about the camera feed.
"Wait, you guys were watching me? What the hell? Stalkers." Rocket growled.
"I just wanted to see what would happen." Peter said. "I was by myself watching until Gamora started wathing over my shoulder and Drax wanted to be a part of our little group so we all ended up watching you two."
"What'd you see?"
"Well, I saw you taking apart my ship again and I don't really appreciate that man," Peter said.
"We heard that the fox had kissed you while she was intoxicated," Drax continued.
"And we heard Red's story, well, half of it since we only started watching halfway through." Gamora admitted.
"Anything else you stalkers see?" Rocket asked.
"We saw you carrying Red back to Gamora's room, which is a nice move man." Peter said smirking. "And we saw you kiss her in the forehead which was probably the cutest thing I've ever seen ever. Except for Gamora trying to dance which is pretty damn cute too." Gamora shot Peter a look.
"And I'll be shutting up now." Peter added, shutting his mouth.
