Groot was waiting for you, right outside the door, bashfully kicking his feet back and forth, one at a time. You were running a towel through your freshly-washed hair and not watching where you were going. So, when you almost crushed Groot, you gave a shriek and hopped back.
“I am Groot,” he apologized, his eyes falling to the floor.
“Jesus,” you panted, your heart hammering under your hand. “You can’t stand right there, Groot.”
He reached over to fiddle with a small twit on his arm. “I am Groot.”
Guilt started to turn your stomach. “I missed you, too.”
Given how small he was, he smiled as wide as he possibly could, his eyes wide and shining as he looked up at you. “I am Groot.”
“Just don’t tell Peter about this,” you chuckled.
“I am Groot,” he vowed, hand placed over his heart.
“Don’t tell Peter what?” the aforementioned man asked.
You gave a huff of irritation at the way your heart started pounding again. “I’m gettin’ real tired of no one knowing how to knock ‘round here,” you growled, giving Groot a wink.
“Were you guys talkin’ ‘bout me?” Peter was leaning against the door frame, arms crossed, one foot kicked over the other, and you had to fight the urge to saunter over and drop your towel.
“I am Groot,” he lied expertly.
Peter gave a knowing smile. “Bullshit.”
“Language, Peter,” you warned him, bending over to pick up Groot. He climbed onto your damp shoulder and held onto your hair as you walked.
His voice was soft in your ear when he said, “I am Groot.”
“I know,” you giggled.
“What’d he say?” Peter was wearing a scowl as he stood tall.
You shot your boyfriend a wink. “It’s a secret.”
It was Peter’s turn to huff. “Y/N…”
“Peter…” you mocked him.
“I am Groot,” he growled, shoving his head through your hair and sticking his tongue out at Peter.
You moved to drop the towel, but Peter wasn’t having it. His hand shot out and stopped it just as it was about to untuck.
“No, uh uh,” he announced. “That’s not happening with Groot in here.”
“He’s just a baby,” you argued, knowing it would get you nowhere.
“I am Groot.”
Peter arched his brow as he stared at Groot. “You are, too, a baby. Now, come on. Let’s give Y/N some privacy.”
Groot glared at the hand that was extended. “I am Groot.”
You held your hand out and shook your head as he climbed off of your shoulder. “I’ll only be a couple minutes. Why don’t you go and see Rocket? He won’t admit it, but he missed you.”
“I am Groot.” He pressed a kiss to your palm before jumping down and running out of the room.
“See? No harm done,” you teased, poking Peter in the chest.
Peter caught your hips in his hands and gave you a smirk. “And on that note…”
Before you could even blink, Peter was kissing you, slow and passionate, stealing the breath from your lungs. You pulled back and gave a hum of appreciation.
“Why didn’t you just say that’s what you wanted?”
“He’s just a baby,” Peter scoffed. “I didn’t want to corrupt him… yet.” He shot you a wink before bending over to pick you up, throwing you over his shoulder before kicking the door shut.
