@marvelousstardustrp / gamora "I'm tired of thinking. Let's just… make out or something"

An amused smile lifted the corners of his mouth. Their time raising Atleza was weary but rewarding work. He knew Gamora enjoyed it as much as he, but that did not preclude them from becoming tired. And in those moments, he had found the joys of sharing a simple meal and conversation with her.

Among those moments was the feeling of light joy that spread from heart to limb when her arms circled him and their lips met. There was a world yet undiscovered between them but the two had been together for so long, always at one another's side, that he knew it would only take time to explore this frontier together. As they always did.

For now, Adam took her hand in his, gold thumb running across her knuckles. "That sounds a much better use of my time then...what do you call it? Brooding?" He kissed her before she could answer, his smile pressed against her lips.

[soulcluster-moved]

That was typically the way of things, or at least so much as Adam had come to understand it. Visitors popped in and out of his life at will so at some point he had adapted the habit for himself. "My apologies," he offered, truly not meaning to have startled her. He could see how someone alighting out of the sky could have that affect.

However, he was far more concerned with his surroundings. Adam turned one way and then another. By all accounts, Earth was his home, so to speak, yet he had precious few memories of it. It might as well be as foreign as any alien planet he had ever alighted upon. Counter-Earth was its mirror image and yet the two were not alike either. "Can you tell me where I am?"

ᗢ Mini Starter Call ;; @soulcluster

“Does it look like I’m mad? I’m not mad.” She was frustrated which is not the same thing. And concentrating, well meditating to try and control that irritation. She just needed a second. “I’m not trying to be irritated you know? But it would have been nice to have had a bit of warning before you suddenly showed up like that.” Really it just frustrated her when people were able to surprise her.

adam warlock x reader

masterlist

synopsis: a collection of moments where adam overhears things you say and takes them entirely the wrong way- because sarcasm, flirting, and dramatic one-liners just arent part of his programming. (he's learning... slowly... and falling for you way faster than he should)

w/c: 1k

1. "I'd let you ruin my life."

w/c: 670

You're sitting on your knees on the floor of the medbay, sleeves rolled up, grease smudged across your cheek as you try to rewire one of the medbots Cosmo said went haywire after a power surge.

"Bet it's just a fried regulator," you mutter, wrist-deep in tangled wires. "Again."

Next to you, a stranger- tall, charming smile, definitely not from around here- is leaning against the wall, watching you work with an amused sort of interest.

"You always this good with your hands?" he asks.

You scoff without looking up. "Buy me dinner first."

He laughs, warm and easy, and it catches you off guard. "Sure thing."

You then glance up, and for a split second, he looks... intrigued. "You know, I might just let you ruin my life," you joke, teasingly. "Honestly, you've got the face for it."

It's stupid, lighthearted, the kind of thing people say when the work is boring and someone's flirting just enough to make the afternoon go by faster.

You don't mean it. Obviously.

But someone else hears it.

You don't notice Adam in the doorway until the other guy glances past you and stiffens slightly. You turn, wires still in hand, and see him standing there- quiet, golden, unreadable.

Your breath catches.

"Adam? You okay?"

He doesn't speak for a moment. But then he steps forward, a little too tense. "I was looking for you."

The stranger shifts, clearly picking up on the change in the air. "She's a bit busy, mate."

Adam's eyes flick to him briefly. "She's always busy... mate," he replies, too soft to be rude, but too pointed to be polite.

You hold back a laugh at his attempt of using the word 'mate'. "What's going on? Is everything alright?"

"I just needed to ask you someting," he says, but there's a strange undercurrent in his voice. "But I think I should wait. Since you're... making life decisions."

"Huh?"

He then looks at you, really looks. Like he's not just hearing the words you said but carrying them, weighing them, turning them over until they've become something way heavier than you had ever meant them to be.

"You said you'd let him ruin your life."

"Adam," you blink. "It was a joke."

"It didn't sound funny."

"People say stuff like that all the time," you say, setting the wires down and pushing yourself to your feet. "It's not serious. It doesn't mean anything."

He watches you carefully.

You sigh, brushing your hands on your pants. "It's just flirting."

"I see."

The stranger clearly feels the awkward tension and slips out with a quick "I'll come back later," leaving you and Adam alone in the medbay's quiet.

You look up at him. "You're not mad, are you?"

"No," he says. Then, after a moment, "I would never ruin your life... Just so you know."

You stare at him, your heart stalling a little.

"But if I did," he continues quietly, "it would be by accident. And I'd fix it."

You don't know what to say. The way he says it- it's not a pickup line. It's not a joke. It's not even flirtation.

It's a promise.

He stands there, golden and sincere, and you suddenly realize that the kind of love Adam offers isn't loud or messy or dramatic. It's quiet, carefully, steady. The kind of love that lingers in doorways and pays attention when no one else is looking.

You step closer.

"I wouldn't let anyone ruin my life," you say softly. "Unless it was you."

His brow creases. "But I just said-"

"I know," you interrupt gently. "And that's exactly why."

He exhales slowly, shoulders relaxing just a little.

You smile. "Hey, you wanna help me fix this bot?"

He blinks. "I might ruin it if I do."

You laugh, tugging him down to sit next to you.

"It'll be fine," you say. "But let's start with you just holding the flashlight."

He beams like it's the greatest honor in the galaxy.

And maybe, in some sort of way, it is.

2. "Buy me a drink and I'll love you forever."

w/c: 430

You say it so easily.

One hand on the bar, your chin resting in the other, grinning lazily at the guy beside you. Your voice lifts over the crowd and straight into Adam's ears like it belongs there.

"Buy me a drink and I'll love you forever."

Adam is startled.

He was walking by. That's all. Just passing through, minding his own business, and then bam- those words. That voice. You.

His chest goes tight.

You'll love him... forever? For buying you a drink?

He stops walking. Turns around. Eyes locked on you now. You're still talking to the guy, while the bartender laughs and says, "You always say that."

Adam's frown deepens. Always?

He walks over without thinking.

You see him out of the corner of your eye. "Oh, hey, Adam."

He's already reaching into his pocket.

"Do you want one?" you ask, gesturing to the bar. "I was just getting another-"

"I'll buy it," he says, placing a few Units on the counter. "What do you want?"

You blink. "You don't have to-"

You said if someone bought you a drink, you'll love them forever."

You choke on your own saliva.

"Wait, what?"

He looks down at the credits. "You said it. I heard you, that was the agreement."

"That wasn't an agreement, Adam. It was a joke."

He looks genuinely confused. "But... you said it out loud. In public. With conviction."

You try not to laugh because he's being so serious, and it's honestly kind of adorable.

"I was flirting," you admit softly. "Sort of. But it's just a thing people say when they want a free drink."

Adam tilts his head. "So you don't mean it?"

"Not literally, no."

He goes quiet for a second. "Would you... ever say it to me?"

You blink. "Would I try to get a free drink from you?"

He shrugs, suddenly shy. "Would you ever say that to me? Even if it is not true?"

Your heart stutters in your chest.

You glance at the glowing drink the bartender just set down in front of you. Then back up at Adam, golden and wide-eyed and way too genuine. You notice now that the guy you had been flirting with is long gone- moved on to someone else.

"Only if you let me buy you a drink back," you smile softly.

He immediately slides another handful of Units across the bar.

The bartender raises an eyebrow. "You already paid-"

Adam nods. "One for me as well," he says as he takes the seat beside you. You can't help but smile back.

3. "If I make out with you, will you pretend to be my boyfriend?"

w/c: 280

You're standing in line for boarding at a sketchy shuttle port on a backwater moon, dodging the attention of a very persistent ex who's just spotted you across the terminal.

"Crap. I told him I never wanted to see him again," you hiss under your breath as he waves from the other side of the checkpoint.

Adam looks between you and the guy. "Do you know him?"

"Ugh. Unfortunately." You glance around quickly, then turn to Adam. "Okay, I need a favor."

Adam perks up. "Of course."

"If I make out with you, will you pretend to be my boyfriend?"

He goes very still.

"You want to... create something with me?"

"What? No- make out. Like, kissing. A lot of it. Now."

He frowns. "I'm not quite sure I understand what's required of me, but- if it will help, yes."

You don't have time to explain. Your ex is coming closer. You grab Adam's face and press your mouth to his, and he makes the most surprised noise into your lips like you've just handed him a baby raccoon seeing his first spaceship.

But then-

He leans in, hands gently settling at your waist like he's afraid you might evaporate, and suddenly you're kissing Adam Warlock in a spaceport and he's very good at it for someone who doesn't even know what 'make out' means.

After a moment, he pulls back, blinking down at you. "So... this is pretending?"

"Yep," you say breathlessly, looking away to hide the flustered look on your face.

He pauses. "I don't think I liked that."

You stiffen. "Oh."

"I don't want it to be pretend," he clarifies, completely serious.

Oh.

And now you're the one who's afraid that you might evaporate.

3. "I was in love with you yesterday."

w/c: 320

You're brushing dust off your boots when Adam walks into the same room as you on the ship with his usual golden glow, fresh from some skirmish with the Guardians but not a scratch on him.

"Lookin' good, Warlock," you call, grinning.

He tilts his head. "I was wearing the same thing yesterday."

"Yeah, and I was in love with you yesterday, too. Consistency."

He stumbles over his next words. "You... were?"

You laugh, standing up and patting him on the shoulder. "Relax. I'm kidding. Kinda."

"Kinda?"

You shrug. "Look, I'd sell my soul to be like you."

Adam freezes. Like, full body stillness, eyes wide, soul leaving his own body kind of freeze.

"What?" he says, his voice in a whisper.

You pause, confused. "It's just a saying, Goldie."

"But why would you... give away something sacred? Something eternal? To be like me?"

You blink. "Because you're strong and nice and sweet and also ripped? I mean, come on."

He stares at you like you've just offered to hand him the sun.

"But your soul?" He says, completely shocked.

"Adam." You step closer. "It's not literal."

"Oh." He seems to process this for a moment, then. "Still. Don't say things like that. Not even as a joke."

You look at him softer. "Why not?"

"Because you don't have to give anything up. I'll always be with you. You don't have to trade your soul. I'd love you without you changing a thing. I already do."

Your heart skips like a scratched record. "You... do?"

He nods, eyes still wide and a little unsure. "I think so. And I don't want anything from you except you."

Your lips curve. "Well in that case, I'll keep my soul."

Adam smiles. "Good."

Then he adds, just a little shyly. "Though if you ever wanted to give me your heart, I would be honored."

You grin. "If that's allowed."

And just like that, you're ruined- in the best way.

[fuckyeahgoodomens]

Hello! I love your blog thank you for being such a good and comforting hub :) I just wanted to ask since you are so good at collecting good omens info, some friends and I have been trying to figure out a timeline for the book, like with all the mentioned dates and A&C meetings and canon events, etc, but we haven't been able to find one yet that doesn't also include all the stuff from the tv show. I figured I would ask somewhere big like here to see if you or your other followers have or have seen one before putting in all the work to make a new timeline myself! Thank u!

Hiya! :) Oooh, only book you say 🤔, I'm afraid I don't know only a book timeline, but perhaps someone who sees this does? :) <3.

(if you start doing you own then Adam and Warlock's birthday is August 20 or August 21 because on the same day as is the Warlock’s birthday party (Wednesday) Aziraphale and Crowley go to the manor where takes place ‘August 20-21: United Holdings [Holdings] PLC Initiative Combat Course’.)

Very happy you like the blog! :) <3

Good Omens fic recs #70

A Doll's House by CopperBeech/@copperplatebeech - A/C, 4k words.  An extremely fun story in which Crowley gets stuck tiny during his laudanum adventure in 1827, and instead of being dragged back to Hell Aziraphale takes him back to the bookshop in his pocket while they try to figure out how to change him back.  Fun domestic fluff with great character voices as always.

My Memory With You by jessikast - A/C, Adam/Warlock, 4k words.  Adam brings Warlock home to visit his family and invites Aziraphale and Crowley for a visit, which turns into a fake relationship, which turns into a real one.  This is fun and light-hearted and very sweet.

Ineffable Histories Art by IneffableHistories - A/C, 0 words.  This is art!  I don't usually rec art, I usually just reblog it on Tumblr, but this is a really cool multi-artist collaboration and I wanted to shout it out.  A bunch of great artists drew Aziraphale and Crowley in all their canon outfits and a few from missing scenes as well.  I broke the comment character limit to comment on this and I didn't even know there was a character limit until then.  Go check it out.

All Creatures That Have the Breath of Life by @Elsajeni - A/C, 4k words.  Aziraphale saves Crowley from drowning during the Flood, and they have a difficult conversation.  This is very smart with moments of sweetness, and I think it does a great job of capturing their complicated feelings early in their relationship.

what a way to make a living by attheborder/@areyougonnabe - A/C, 5k words.  Post Armageddidn't, Crowley is adrift, and Aziraphale helps him figure out what to do with his time: become an Uber driver.  This story is incredibly funny and fluffy, with great character voices.

Adam Warlock x Top!Male!Reader [Smut]

I tried okay- it's been a while since I've written an actual smut

Masterlist.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.3

Requested by sal the mon on Quotev.

Well, this is not how the Guardians' trip to Earth was supposed to go.

Out of everyone, (M/n) was the only one who was reluctant to sleep over at the Quill Residence, so he decided to sleep in his small room in the Bowie, they weren't gonna stay around for too long anyway so he didn't mind staying in the ship.

He thought he was gonna be the only one on the ship, until Adam came up to him silently as he made his way out of the house, "Need anything, Adam?"

The golden boy looked up from the ground at (M/n), and shook his head.

"I lost rock, paper, scissors for one of the rooms," the way he seemed defeated about not being able to stay in Peter's home almost made (M/n) laugh, but he simply smiled and continued walking around the back of the house, toward the backyard where the Bowie was.

He yawned as the ramp lowered, and they made their way inside, closing up again once they were inside.

"Well..." (M/n) yawned again, their footsteps echoing in the silence of the ship, the sound of metal filling their ears, "I'm going to bed, good night," his wrist got grabbed before he could walk inside his room, and he looked back, seeing Adam standing there, "What?" He asked quietly, feeling quite a bit flustered and hot with Adam so close to him.

"I'm not tired yet," for a moment, (M/n) was about to ask how the fuck was he not tired with all they did during the day, he was literally about to collapse from exhaustion, until he remembered that Adam was a Sovereign, and that was what he needed to think of to make him sigh.

"Fine," he opened his room door and took swift steps toward the electronic device that could easily be an iPad made by humans and he handed it to Adam, "This app," he pressed on the screen, and the app took a few seconds to load, "Has movies and series to watch, you can have it for tonight, and don't break it."

Adam scrolled down the app, reading the title of every cover that caught his eye, he was quite interested in all of it.

"Good night, Adam," he looked up and smiled at (M/n), mumbling a 'good night' back before making his way to his own room.

//////

Despite being exhausted, (M/n) had a hard time falling asleep, every time he closed his eyes, the image of a shirtless -and practically naked- Adam would fill his mind, making him groan and sigh as he felt hot and bothered, like really mad at his subconscious for constantly bringing that memory back whenever he got distracted.

Everyone back in Knowhere was so painfully aware of the hugely obvious crush (M/n) had on Adam, except for Adam himself, and (M/n) was too much of a coward to say anything.

Turning face up on his bed, he dropped his arm over his eyes and sighed, deciding to just ignore the memory to the best of his ability. Eventually, he will fall asleep, even if it takes a while for his brain to shut off for a few hours.

And it's only been roughly two hours later that Adam came out of his room, feeling his body tingly and warm, covered in goosebumps due to the involuntary shivers he felt whenever the scene played back in his mind.

He had a faint feeling that he was watching something he wasn't entirely sure he should, but he did anyway, intrigued by the cover and title. He should've known better.

Adam gripped the device in his hands, careful not to break it, as (M/n) had requested of him, and he took quiet steps toward the (h/c) haired male's room, his mind foggy and numb as a particular image flashed past. He shook his head when he arrived at (M/n)'s door, and slowly reached to open it.

As expected, the room was quiet, seeing as (M/n) was fast asleep, and Adam sighed in relief, he didn't know why he was relieved but he was, and made his way inside, careful to not make loud noises that could potentially wake (M/n) up. He placed the device down on his desk, and turned around to leave, until he heard a quiet sound coming from him.

Adam turned to look at (M/n) who had started squirming on the bed, the low brightness of the hallway light was enough to provide a good look at him, and Adam noticed a rather prominent bulge in (M/n)'s pants.

For a moment, all Adam could do was stare, feeling his mouth watering as his mind got plagued with sinful images, those he had just watched but slightly different. They weren't of a man and woman, they were replaced by an image them, (M/n) and Adam.

And he couldn't hold himself back.

//////

A deep frown marked (M/n)'s face, his jaw clenched as muffled groans filled the room, mixing with a constant and wet gawk sound.

His body shook hard enough to make him open his eyes, taking ragged breaths in as he felt like the room was spinning. (M/n) sighed, assuming he simply had a bad dream, but he knew that wasn't it, he probably had the hottest dream he'd ever had in years, and Adam was the cause and protagonist of said dream.

He would've gone back to sleep if it wasn't for a particular feeling on his lower regions, and when he looked down, he swore he could've cum right then and there, and he wasn't far from it.

Whether this was another dream or not, he didn't care, Adam was giving him probably the best head he's ever had -not that he had many, to begin with- but, fuck... he was really good with his mouth, holy-

"Fuck..." (M/n) observed with half-lidded eyes how Adam's hips were grinding down on his bed, his gold eyes closed as he whined needy around his cock.

Adam seemed to be enjoying this just as much as (M/n) was, perhaps even more.

His hands reached down to hold onto Adam's blond locks, pulling on them a little roughly as he started thrusting his hips up, listening to the wet sounds of him taking his cock deep down his throat. Adam's eyes opened, and he looked up at (M/n) through his glossy sight, feeling his dick leaking and throbbing inside his underwear.

"You're mouth feels... So good, Adam, fuck... I'm gonna cum," the Sovereign whined louder, trying to nod while his mouth was still being used, his whole body trembling at the thought of feeling (M/n)'s cum spill in his mouth and slide down his throat.

Groans and heavy breaths left (M/n)'s lips as he approached his orgasm, pulling Adam's hair as he kept his head pressed as close as it could be, releasing a loud moan as his cock twitched, thick ropes of warm cum spilling out of his slit.

He watched with a heavy stare how Adam's eyes rolled into the back of his head and his hands held tightly onto his thighs, making sure to take every single drop of his cum.

(M/n)'s breath was ragged but it was going back to normal, simply assuming this whole thing would end there, but it didn't. It won't be ending now.

Adam slowly pulled away and licked his lips before taking a deep breath, "(M/n)...?" He let out a quiet 'hm?' in response, "Can I... Do something?"

His was clouded by the post-orgasm bliss, so he was feeling pretty complacent, giving a few slow nods to Adam's question.

He knelt on the bed and simply tore his clothes off of his body, making (M/n)'s eyes widen at the sight of Adam's naked body. Oh, the things I would do to him...

(M/n) watched attentively how Adam straddled his hips, biting his bottom lip at the feeling of (M/n)'s cock getting hard under him, and he took a deep breath. He didn't know what Adam wanted to do, but he was expecting to see him slowly taking his cock inside him.

A choked moan escaped Adam's mouth, his hands placing themselves on (M/n)'s chest, tugging on the fabric of his shirt, releasing a high-pitched whimper, "So big, I... I feel so f-full..."

(M/n)'s teeth gritted, his hands reaching to hold Adam's hips harshly, feeling his mind going numb at how tight and warm Adam felt around his sensitive cock, "Oh my fucking..." He mumbled to himself, struggling to keep his eyes open, just to be able to see every little detail on Adam's expression.

They made eye contact when Adam looked down at him, tears sliding down his gold skin, which had turned some kind of copper colour over his cheeks and nose, giving the appearance of a rather cute blush.

"(M/n)..." Adam's voice was quiet and whiny, leaning down closer until their breaths were mixing, "I..."

He got interrupted by the feeling of (M/n)'s lips pressed against his, muffling his whimpers as he felt his hips being lifted and slowly lowered again. The movement made a shiver run down his spine at how he got filled up again.

At that point, Adam didn't care if (M/n) was gonna use his body like a toy, even more so at the realization that Adam's buffer and bigger body meant nothing with how easily was able to manhandle him. He loved it, and he never wanted it to end.

You are given a word - share one sentence/excerpt from your WIP(s) that starts with each letter of that word.

Thanks @haemey and @katspause for the tags (and for my daughter for being home sick for the 5th day in the last two weeks making it impossible for me to get much done). I don't currently have any active Good Omens WIPs (wipes tear from eye), so I will try to do this from some killed scenes from a very different version of the Last Angel and a short abandoned WIP from last year (which means these excerpts are rough and I do not have the time to edit them, so you're getting the real deal here folks. Not the finalized polished version):

My words were DANCE and CATARACT (@katspause I am still lovingly shaking my fist at you):

D - “Don’t bother. The war is lost. That fucking Demonic brat killed Jesus.”

A - After a prolonged moment of extreme eye contact, the Angel spoke. “If you honestly think I am going to tell you anything about myself, you are sorely mistaken.”

N - "Never had an Angel on my watch before, not sure what you guys do for fun but if it’s in Hell, I can get it for you. Food, alcohol, ladies, gentlemen, whatever you want,” with that he locked eyes back with the Angel.

C - Crowley heaved a dramatic sigh as his head dropped back and his eyes looked up to the ceiling. “Ugghnnnnn fineeeeee, just trying to make small talk. Don’t really care. Not like you’ll be around much longer anyw-” the word caught in Crowley’s throat, and he looked at the Angel, whose eyes remained open but had lost some of their ferocity.

E - "Eric’s a good lad, well, good lads, and I need him. I don’t have anyone watching my cells while I’m dealing with this and, unlike all of you, Eric can be in two places at once. I need him.”

C - Crowley was back, back in the Lake of Fire, back falling from Heaven, back having everything he loved ripped from him… .falling hard and fast...the ground coming up quickly to end him… end him forever.

A - Aziraphale’s hands lingered on Crowley’s forearm, their fingers dancing together as wine glasses were emptied and, before Crowley knew what was happening, Aziraphale was grabbing him by the lapels and kissing him frantically, unshelving more first editions than Crowley could even count.

T - The smoke alarm wailed as Crowley frantically waved a kitchen towel at it with one hand, while the other lifted the pot of bolognese off the stovetop.

A - Aziraphale rolled his eyes so far up his head he hoped every single fly that currently made up Beelzebub's corporation felt it in their ears. Did flies actually have ears? He wasn’t sure, now that thought about it.

R - Really, it was Brian who was Warlock’s type; had been his type since they were in 3rd grade. And Pepper was the only one who knew, even before Warlock did. But Brian was gone. They were all gone now.

A - Adam, the Antichrist, Adversary, Destroyer of Kings, Angel of the Bottomless Pit, blah, blah, blah - in the form of a human child, mind you - had taken everyone’s miracling power away from them as soon as they all returned to Hell after the War.

C - Crowley had tried, over the course of the last year, to recall the details of their first time, but the most he could gather was they somehow made it to the couch, the two of them so excited they ended up finishing in their trousers before they could even fumble their way out of their ridiculous clothing. Not the most elegant of first times, but one that always brought a smile to his face whenever he conjured the blurry memories, nonetheless.

T - The good thing about Hell was it was understaffed, and the staff they did have was stupid, so no one even thought to come down here and check for these miracles after the ban, and Crowley had refined them so well over the years that no one even noticed them if they did dare to venture down here.

No pressure tags! I think most people have done this by now but here goes: @addledmongoose,@notalostcausejustyet @ngk-668, @tehrenb, @lavendermoonlitskies, @ochre-sunflower. and anyone else who hasn't done this and wants to!

Your word is TETHER.

[tom-whore-dleston]

Have you thought about doing A-Z fluff with Adam Warlock? I would love to see it! <3

Pairing ▹ Adam Warlock x f. reader

Genre ▹ fluff

This fic contains ▹ gotg vol. 3 spoilers!, fluff, some angst, jealousy, break-up, mentions of Adam pre-Guardians, lots of domestic shit, Adam being down bad for you, Eros/Starfox from The Eternals makes a guest appearance, lightly beta-ed

Word Count ▹ 2.6k

Notes ▹ I normally don't take requests but I thought this would be a nice exercise to get me back into writing bc it's been a hot minute. Plus, Will Poulter is currently invading my head space after the sexy dream I had of him. Remember to reblog and comment if you enjoyed! 😊

A = Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?) If you could rate how affectionate Adam was on a scale from one to ten, the scale would be broken. He was always hugging, kissing, and holding you. Adam’s love language is physical touch so he’d probably perish if you weren’t in his embrace.

B = Best friend (What would they be like as a best friend? How would the friendship start?) Adam was the first friend you made after arriving at Knowhere. While celebrating the destruction of Counter-Earth and the fall of the High Evolutionary, you found Adam watching you dance. You were drawn to him like a magnet so it felt natural that you approached him, introduced yourself, and pulled him into a dance. He was hesitant because he was unfamiliar with the art of dancing, but fortunately, you were a dancer on your old planet so you taught him how to move to the music.

C = Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?) Of course, Adam is a cuddler! He enjoys being big and little spoons equally, just as long as you were pressed against his body in any kind of way. Cuddles are perfect when Blurp is nestled in the space between your and Adam’s legs.

D = Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?) He is the most domestic partner you have ever dated, hence why you both work so well together. He loved cooking and cleaning and doing other chores with you. Being next to you and doing mundane things together was one of his favorite things to do with you. Even though he loves the Guardians, Adam pictured what life would be like with just the two of you in your own living space. He wouldn’t bring up the idea until later down the line because he wants to be there for the team as much as he can.

E = Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?) Adam would write you a long, heartfelt letter describing his feelings and why he is ending your relationship. You’d find dried-up tear stains that smeared on the ink from his pen, causing some words to be smudged. You would add to the paper with your own set of tears as you read about all the beautiful memories the two of you made together.

F = Fiance(e) (How do they feel about commitment? How quickly would they want to get married?) Adam would be head over heels for you so he is 100% down to be committed to you and only you. If it were up to him, he’d want to marry you as soon as possible. However, you told him you wanted to wait a little longer before getting married. Adam respected your wishes but he often gets lost daydreaming about how perfect your wedding day would be.

G = Gentle (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?) Adam is the definition of a gentle giant. Everyone was initially intimidated by him because of how powerful and destructive he once was. However, once you encouraged the others to give Adam a chance, they realized how gentle and kind he was. Adam knows that you are capable of handling your own and don’t need to be treated so delicately. Yet, that doesn’t stop him from being tender and soft with you. He just doesn’t want to hurt anyone again the way he once did.

H = Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?) Adam doesn’t like hugs. He LOVES them! He will hug you every chance he gets and you are there to reciprocate. His favorite kind of hugs are ones with you and Blurp atop his bed right before you all fall asleep together. All the children from Counter-Earth run up to Adam to give him a hug because he is like a giant teddy bear to them.

I = I love you (How fast do they say the L-word?) Adam would most likely confess his love for you after a month of being together. When he began developing these feelings for you, he sought advice from the Guardians, both former and new. Nebula suggested that he gift you the heart of your worst enemy. After a collection of cringes from the group, Drax advised him to just pull her into a kiss on the battlefield because “she will never see it coming.” The Guardians began shouting and arguing amongst each other over what was the best way Adam should tell you he loves you. Finally, Groot, who was the most silent of the group, told Adam that the best way to win your heart is just to be yourself and let it come out naturally. Rocket almost shed a tear with how proud he was of his friend. Of course, Adam took Groot’s advice and let the words flow naturally. As you both shared a kiss, the Guardians watched you both with warm hearts and smiles on their faces.

J = Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they’re jealous?) Adam doesn’t get jealous often, but when he does, he does a poor job of hiding it. After he confessed his love for you, Starfox, an Eternal, stopped by for a visit. Starfox, also known as Eros, was a long-time friend of yours and it got to Adam’s head how close you were to him. You reassured Adam that there was nothing to worry about, but the Eternal’s handsome features and flirty ways made Adam consider otherwise. Adam isolated from you for an entire day, until Eros found him setting a pile of trash on fire. The two Celestials had a heart-to-heart about you and Eros revealed to Adam how enamored you were with Adam.

“Yeah, she talks about you all the time. I’ve never seen her with such joy in the time I have known her.”

“Oh.” Adam felt a pinch of guilt for being so angry with Eros. “I’m sorry for being jealous of you. I’d like for us to be friends if that’s possible.”

“All is forgiven, mate,” Eros grinned, holding his hand out to Adam. “You obviously make her happy so you’re already taken Pip’s spot as my best friend.” With that, Adam shook his hand, beginning the start to another friendship.

K = Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?) Kissing Adam feels like the flowers blooming in the springtime and the leaves falling in the autumn. Every kiss with him is as amazing as the first time. His lips melt against yours like the universe created you both to do so. He loves stooping down to your level to peck you on the forehead or nose. Meanwhile, you love kissing him on his shoulder or his collarbone because it’s the easiest for you to reach. Adam’s favorite way to be kissed by you is on his hand while your fingers are interlaced with his. You would bring your locked hands to your lips before pressing a kiss atop his hand and then nuzzling your cheek against it.

L = Little ones (How are they around children?) Considering the number of kids that reside on Knowhere, he basically treats them as his younger siblings. You love watching the kids play and climb all over Adam as he bursts into fits of laughter. When the children start fighting or crying, he immediately steps in to comfort them or help solve their problems. Seeing how great he is with them makes you think about how amazing of a dad he would be in the future.

M = Morning (How are mornings spent with them?) Usually, you wake up before he does with your head pressed against his chest. You’d wake him up by peppering kisses over his face and stroking his soft blonde hair. Adam would return the favor with groggy eyes and then do the same to Blurp, who was typically the last to wake up. Your morning routine together always began by turning on some 80s music because it was upbeat and energetic. You would wash your face and brush your teeth before changing into your clothes for the day. After that, you would help yourselves to breakfast. Sometimes, Blurp would need to be fed first otherwise he would beg for the food you were cooking for yourselves.

N = Night (How are nights spent with them?) If you aren’t on missions across the galaxy, your night routine would be enjoying dinner on a rooftop to admire the stars and planets in the sky. A playlist of love songs would be playing in the background as you conversed and ate. Then, you would share a bath or shower, depending on how tired you both were. Sometimes, you would lose track of time and fall asleep under the night sky with a blanket draped over your body. The Guardians have made attempts to get you back into your beds but gave up when you tossed around and cuddled closer to one another.

O = Open (When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?) Adam doesn’t have much life experience so he shares everything with you all at once. Normally, it would bother you if a partner was an open book right off the bat, but you understood that Adam was a different case. If anything, it made you love him more knowing that you get to grow with him and show him the beauties of the universe.

P = Patience (How easily angered are they?) Adam can be easily angered, depending on the situation. He will never get angry with you and he avoids getting angry in front of you. Yet, you tend to be the one to find him when he is alone and letting out his anger on abandoned items in a secluded area of Knowhere. Conversely, he can easily calm down with you when your hand touches his. You help him with deep breaths and affirmations and his anger is gone.

Q = Quizzes (How much would they remember about you? Do they remember every little detail you mention in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?) Adam remembers everything from your mother’s name to your favorite color. On the flip side, he will forget anything that Rocket will tell him, even if it was something important. The Guardians say he has a selective hearing for you because he is so wrapped up in his love for you. Sometimes, you will have to repeat what Rocket says back to Adam because he is more likely to remember important things if you are the one exchanging information with him.

R = Remember (What is their favorite moment in your relationship?) His favorite memory with you is when you first met. Adam couldn’t help but watch you dance to Florence and the Machine. Even when you laid eyes on him, his gaze was still locked on you. He was grateful you were confident enough to introduce yourself to him and ask him to dance. He was nervous and tripped over his own feet and words, but you didn’t seem bothered at all by it. Having your body against his ignited a fire inside him that he did not know could exist. Little did he know that you were feeling the same exact thing as him.

S = Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would they like to be protected?) Adam is sooooo protective. Not just of you, but with the Guardians and the citizens of Knowhere. He wasn’t able to protect his mother from her untimely death and he is still haunted by it. So he goes to extreme lengths to protect everyone he loves. He isn’t all that concerned about his own safety because he knows he is powerful enough to protect himself. Adam is the type to make sacrifices for the better of everyone else even if it means getting hurt in the process. At least you are there to tend to his wounds when he is done protecting everyone.

T = Try (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?) Adam puts a lot of effort into his relationship with you. He is always the first one to sing “Happy Birthday” to you on your birthday and make it a special day for you. The Sovereign will get assistance from Mantis and Drax to set up dates, parties, and gifts for you. This usually leads to Mantis and Drax bickering over what Adam should write on cards or if he should get you candy or stuffed animals. Sometimes, their bickering would be so loud that Adam’s surprises for you would get spoiled because you would be eavesdropping on their conversations. At the end of it all, you loved the lengths Adam went through to make you happy and loved. But you still suggested that Adam seek help from someone other than Mantis and Drax if he wants the surprises to be successful.

U = Ugly (What would be some bad habits of theirs?) At first, it was cute when Adam had selective hearing/memory for you, but after a while, it became a little concerning. Especially when he would forget stuff regarding missions. You confronted Adam in a gentle way and he agreed to work on his listening skills. He has improved in listening to Rocket, but he still struggles to remember Rocket’s favorite song.

V = Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?) Adam isn’t too concerned with his looks. Perhaps the reason being his young mind hasn’t allowed him to be self-aware of his looks. Either way, he is content with how he looks because appearance doesn’t change how people view him.

W = Whole (Would they feel incomplete without you?) As mentioned previously, he would perish without you by his side.

X = Xtra (A random headcanon for them.) Peter Quill returned to Knowhere for a short visit. He showered everyone with gifts, Adam receiving a Polaroid. Quill taught him how to use the camera and even took a selfie with him. Adam was so excited to show you his gift that he ran up to you and took a picture of you admiring the ballet slippers Quill gifted you with. Now, Adam’s room is covered in Polaroids of you and him, but he cherishes the photo of you smiling down at the slippers you loved dancing in.

Y = Yuck (What are some things they wouldn’t like, either in general or in a partner?) He would not be fond of self-deprecating behaviors from himself or a partner. Adam understood that everyone has their flaws, but it makes him sad when he sees others put themselves down because he believes that anyone can be redeemed. He is a prime example of second chances. That being said, he would have zero tolerance for anyone who picks on you or his friends. Adam has no problem putting bullies in their places.

Z = Zzz (What is a sleep habit of theirs?) Adam sleeps better when you and Blurp are sharing the bed with him. When either one of you is missing, his sleep gets disrupted. And when he isn’t fully rested, it affects his mood and performance on missions and everyday tasks. Something that helps when you are away is listening to songs that remind him of you and looking at Polaroids of you.

[i-only-ever-asked-questions]

I've been working on this post for a while and I am running out of time! So here goes: Today I want to talk about the dark side of Good Omens. This is a long post, sorry about that, but there are so many twists and turns. We all love GO, the romance, the banter, the comedy, the humanity of it. But it does a have a subtle dark side underneath which is usually overlooked. It has to do with the race to stop Armageddon, how their different views brought them to the bandstand conflict, and how Aziraphale ultimately came around at the airbase. It was a rocky road. In the book, when Crowley receives the basket and is on his way to the hospital, he has a thought. We didn't see this in the show so it may or may not have happened there, but it happened in the book. Ultimately Crowley didn't go through with it, but it did occur to him.

So Crowley kept driving and eventually came up with Plan A: Raise the antichrist together behind Hell's back. Surely as a normal, balanced human being the kid wouldn't want to destroy the world, easy and straightforward, right?

Aziraphale's orders are to keep Crowley under observation and so he does. But he also tells Heaven he will "influence the child towards the light". Heaven humors him as long as he keeps doing his job: monitoring Crowley and the antichrist.

However as the scheduled time gets closer, Crowley realizes that the only way to be 100% certain there won't be an Armageddon is to not have an antichrist at all (like 11 years ago). And he brings up Plan B: Kill the child, for the first time.

Aziraphale didn't like the idea of killing Warlock outright if there were other options. So he came up with Plan C: stop the dog. That... was very short-lived.

And here is where things will start to get murky. While both know they need to find the antichrist, they don't really know what to do afterwards.

Crowley probably thinks that whatever they do, they'll do it together, that Aziraphale will be on board with it. Aziraphale on the other hand still thinks Heaven are "the good guys" so he separately comes up with Plan D: Tell Heaven where the antichrist is. If Heaven gets rid of Adam, all will be fine. Heaven knows better and thy are going to win anyway. At this point, Aziraphale is fine with eliminating the antichrist, he just doesn't like the idea of doing the deed himself, let Heaven handle it. So he lies to Crowley about finding Adam.

And he lies again about having found the antichrist when they meet at the bandstand. Aziraphale has made his mind. As they talk, Aziraphale's reasons that if Crowley were to kill the child instead of Heaven, it would be a better solution for everybody. Again, he is fine with eliminating the antichrist, but not with doing it himself, Crowley can do it. Should this be a very short lived Plan E?

Crowley on the other hand, just like at the Crystal Palace, insists that Aziraphale do the deed. Aziraphale would not have it. Either Crowley does it or Heaven does it, but not him.

The book is more clear about how Crowley is afraid of Hell's punishment if he fails. In Crowley's mind, if Aziraphale kills the child it would be ok, Aziraphale gets brownie points in Heaven and Crowley gets punished for maybe only being incompetent.

But if Crowley kills the child, he would be in really BIG trouble, punished as the worst traitor there could be. (this quote comes from a later passage but it is the sentiment that counts)

Both agree that the antichrist needs to go. But Crowley won't kill the child and Aziraphale won't kill the child either. So they come to an impasse.

Aziraphale proceeds with his Plan D anyway and his conversation with the Metatron goes as pear-shaped as could. And this is where he decides to talk to Crowley and reconcile. That didn't work out either.

After a short trip to Heaven, Aziraphale finds himself on Earth and ready to follow Crowley's Plan B. However he still doesn't want to do it himself, so this time he is recruiting humans to do it (Plan F!). Humans are good at killing other humans, they have been doing it for a long time ;)

Said humans are on board with it until they realize that the antichrist is an 11-year old boy and Plan F goes up in smoke.

Crowley is not giving up though and Aziraphale, fully committed now that every other option failed, follows Crowley's lead. Third time is the charm, right? Aziraphale doesn't hesitate anymore and shoots when Crowley urges him to do so.

And, as we know Madame Tracy saves the day and Adam (although for all we know Adam is bulletproof at this point ;) ) So yeah, interwoven with all the fun there are these glimpses of hidden darkness, our demon who keeps pushing Aziraphale to kill the antichrist for lack of a better plan and our angel who doesn't want to taint his hands and keeps looking for other people to do the deed instead. There is certainly a lot more nuance to this, Crowley and Aziraphale are not selfish, detached entities who end human lives willy-nilly, not at all. But in a desperate hour, they will, if that means the survival of the whole world. As Crowley put it back at the Crystal Palace "one life against the universe". He was ready to sacrifice that life from the very beginning. Aziraphale meandered his way to get there, but at the end he got there and shot at the child.

It is certainly very fortunate that they were not very competent at this. It would have been awful killing Warlock and then realizing he wasn't the antichrist after all. And Adam is a nice and smart kid who found his very own human solution to the problem without intentionally shedding any blood. They both deserve to live, and our walking disasters deserve to get their world and their humans without having to pay for it with the life of a child.

BIOGRAPHY. nicholas blair is a warlock who works under a fictional devil (named diabolos). a creature of the damned, nicholas is implied in the show to be much older than be appears to be.

he always ends up scheming his way back to earth one way or another, hoping to someday break his masters grip on his soul and aquire power of his very own to gain independence.

he resides in a rented 3-story property near the shore of an ocean, the manor fittingly referred to as the blair house (or sometimes 'house by the sea' - not to be confused with seaview house).

the location has been (and continues to be) where he cooks up various ploys (which often become failures somehow or another).

in the series he is shown to have various collections of magic artifacts, presumably aquired from years of being on earth or by diabolos. he previously kept a lot of them locked in a cabinet to be out of reach for angelique/eve, in my current version of nicholas he now keeps most of these in his bedroom with his door locked.

additionally, he previously owned a magical mirror which was a signature tool he used, in my current version of nicholas he has since recreated it using a different mirror. c'mon we can't have nicholas blair without his silly mirror!

nicholas is usually seen wearing a grey suit, of various different shades. he doesn't often wear anything different, so it's his trademark look.

SECONDARY INTERPRETATION. paralleling the other biography, with the exception that nicholas was once a mortal man who sold his soul away during a moment of weakness. i'm still thinking up a backstory for this version of him :)c

+ i talk further about how i interpret nicholas here!

ABILITIES. hypnosis. spell-casting. conjuration. necromancy. mind-reading (leviathan arc only). ghost summoning. ghost banishment. inflicting curses. various magical item usage.

Sweet Curiosity ೃ⁀⤵

adam warlock x reader

masterlist

synopsis: adam asks you to help him practice 'romance' after receiving one of quill's novels- and you think, just maybe, he's learning because of you. but when he almost kisses you, just to reveal it's for someone else, your heart cracks quietly in two. Bonus scene at end!!

w/c: 1k

The hallway is quiet- thankfully quiet enough for you to complete your mission. A dumb one. A petty one. A necessary one.

Zarg-nuts.

Drax keeps his stash hidden in the second drawer of the mess hall- like it’s sacred, like the whole galaxy would collapse if anyone else touched them. You don’t even like them that much. They taste like roasted battery acid. But today? You need the serotonin… and a break from all the arguing.

You creep toward the cabinet, glance left and right- the coast is clear. Your fingers curl around the drawer handle.

“Y/N.”

You jump. The voice is calm and polite. 

And loud enough for Drax to get curious and walk into the room, catching you red-handed. 

His eyes narrow like you just insulted his honor. You flash him an innocent grin as you slowly release the drawer handle.

“Well, nothing interesting in there!” you lie smoothly.

He grunts and walks away, muttering something about betrayal.

You sigh and turn around to the source of your unintended sabotage.

Adam Warlock sits on a bench by one of the corners of the room near a viewport, half-shadowed as his golden skin gleams even in low light. He holds a book in his lap. A romance book.

Of course he does.

You walk over, your curiosity outweighing your disappointment.

“Seriously, Adam?”

“Apologies,” he says sincerely, closing the book but not getting up. “You were attempting theft. I did not mean to disrupt you.”

You scoff. “Was it that obvious?”

He tilts his head, eyes scanning your face. You can feel the heat of his gaze- it’s not intense or creepy. Just… curious.

“I require assistance,” he says. “With something emotional.”

You raise an eyebrow and sit down on the bench next to him. “Alright, Goldilocks. Lay it on me.”

He lifts the book again. The cover is obnoxiously pink and you squint at the glittery title.

“Is that- Quill’s?”

He nods. “He said it would help me understand...” A pause. Then, he adds unsure, “romance.”

You blink. “Huh. So… what exactly do you need my help with?”

Adam sets the book down, visibly straightens his posture, then looks you square in the eyes. “May I practice something on you?”

You blink again. “Uh, sure.”

He hesitates, clearly nervous. His typically poised, invincible cosmic being is nervous. That alone makes your heart do something stupid in your chest.

“You… are… very symmetrical,” he says finally.

You bite the inside of your cheek. “Thanks?”

He frowns. “That did not land, did it?”

“Not quite.”

He tries again. “Your hair reminds me of the plasma flares over Xandar. Bright. Chaotic. Gravitationally impossible.”

You laugh, and he relaxes a little.

Then, without a warning, he reaches out and takes your hand.

It’s warm. Almost hot, but not sweaty. His fingers are careful, cradling yours like you’re made of something fragile. You stop breathing for a half second. 

“Is this… right?” he asks.

Your voice catches in your throat. You manage a small nod. “Yeah. It’s right.”

He shifts a little closer, gaze never leaving yours. The space between you shrinks until you’re practically sharing air. His voice drops a little when he says, “Your presence is calming. I feel… lighter when you’re near. Like existing is easier.”

Your heart pounds.

Is this happening?

He leans in. Just a little. Enough that you can see the tiny constellations in his eyes, the flicker of uncertainty beneath all his golden confidence.

And for one brief, unguarded moment, you think- maybe. Maybe all those late night conversations, all those soft smiles, all those glances meant something. Then he says it.

“Thank you. I want to be prepared when I tell her how I feel.”

You blink.

A breath. A pause. A soft sting blooming in your chest like a delayed burn in your lungs.

You clear your throat and pull your hand back gently. You smile- because what else is there to do?

You laugh, light and harmless. “Wow, she’s a lucky woman.”

He beams at you, completely unaware of the way he just cracked your ribcage open. “I hope she thinks so, too.”

You sit there with him a little longer, watching the stars pass by through the viewport, trying not to think about the warmth stil lingering in your fingers. 

Trying not to wonder why it always feels like you’re the back up, the test run.

Trying not to let it hurt.

But it does.

God, it does.

BONUS

Later that evening, you’re nowhere to be found when Adam wanders into the control room where Drax and Rocket are loitering- Rocket fiddling with some wires, Drax crunching away on Zarg-nuts.

Adam approaches the main console, eyes fixed on the AI interface Rocket rigged together months ago. The one with the soft, modulated voice and blinking lights.

“Hello, Computer,” Adam says way too formally.

Rocket pauses, tools halfway to the floor. “Oh no.”

Draz narrows his eyes. “Is he… flirting with the ship again?”

“He thinks he’s flirting,” Rocket replies, standing back to observe. “Let’s see where this goes.”

Adam leans a little closer, and says with utmost sincerity, “You are… as efficient as you are alluring.”

The AI beeps in confusion. “Command not recognized.”

Drax binks. “Did she just reject him?”

“Yeah, bud. She did.”

Adam, undeterred, tries again. “Your voice is soft. Like… silk satellite transmissions.”

Rocket howls with laughter. “Oh, man. Talk about gold.”

Adam frowns. “Is it not working?”

Rocket wipes a tear. “Adam. That book Quill gave you? Ya know, that wasn’t for seducing my computer.”

Adam tilts his head. “It wasn’t?”

“No! He gave it to you so you’d stop being so weird around Y/N!”

Drax finally processes the situation, then lets out a belly laugh that echoes throughout the whole ship. “He thought it was for the machine!”

Adam looks between them, realization dawning slowly. He sits down beside the console, contemplating.

“I think I have miscalculated.”

“Yeah,” Rocket says, still chuckling. “But damn, it was entertaining.”

Draz offers Adam a Zarg-nut.

He declines.

Masterlist.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.3

(M/n) took a sip of water from his cup, his (e/c) eyes looking around briefly every few seconds, but always finding their way back to him.

He observed him wrapped in the blanket, silently looking around Knowhere just like he had been doing, but he was paying attention to the small details around him, unlike (M/n) who simply couldn't stop staring. He didn't know why, but something about the golden boy was... Magnetic. Mesmerizing even.

Probably because he was a Sovereign, which made them perfect, so it made sense that he found himself staring shamelessly at him, at least, he was hiding in the shadows of the still-standing structure so no one could see him properly, or he hoped so.

He watched how Kraglin approached the golden boy, and he leaned closer to hear the possible conversation they were gonna have. He poured water into the cup from the bottle in his hands before handing it to him, who gently grabbed it.

"What's your name?" His gold eyes looked up at Kraglin, who stood in front of him, waiting for his answer.

"Adam," (M/n) sighed and blinked a few times, saying his name over and over again in his mind, as if he was afraid he'll forget. For a moment, he thought nothing of their interaction, but then he made eye contact with Kraglin, who winked at him... And knew he got found out.

He turned around on the column he was leaning his side on, and pressed his back to it, sliding down until he was sitting on the dirty floor. Sometimes he hated how easily Kraglin could read him, despite his grumpy expression 24/7, Kraglin was just very perceptive when it came to him and his true feelings and intentions.

After a few seconds of him covering his face in embarrassment, he leaned over the side of the column, looking at him as he drank some water.

"Adam..." The blond perked up and (M/n) hid just in time before Adam could see him. He frowned and shrugged before drinking the remaining water in his cup.

Soon enough, music started filling the quiet murmurs in Knowhere, and he watched how Rocket and Groot started dancing, followed by everyone around them. (M/n) watched everyone loosening up and having fun dancing to the music, but yet again, his eyes found their way to stare at Adam, who was also watching the scene with a smile on his face.

When a deep sigh left past his lips at the soft sight, (M/n) knew he was in for a ride.

For a while, Adam has seen (M/n) around while everyone helped rebuild Knowhere from its destruction, and there was something about him that caught Adam's eye.

Whether it was the permanent frown on his face or the gentleness of his voice when he talked to anyone, he didn't know, but he felt drawn to him, and he had to at least know his name.

Which he learned, thanks to Rocket.

He had tried to bring up the topic rather casually, but the raccoon could see through him like a window pane, and there was no way he could hide his curiosity, so he openly admitted that he was... Intrigued by him.

"Well, all you need to know about (M/n) is that... He's not as grumpy as he looks like," Adam's gold eyes trailed to look at the guy whose name he learned. (M/n) was finishing up with replacing the broken glass of a window, and just like that, they made eye contact through the reflection, and if it wasn't for Cosmo's powers, that glass would've also ended up in pieces on the ground.

Groot, who had witnessed the scene, mumbled to himself, "I am Groot...?" And Nebula turned to look at him, frowning for a moment before staring in the direction Groot was looking.

"Wait... (M/n)? Interested in Adam? I don't-" Nebula had to stop herself when she saw how (M/n) kept stealing glances at Adam, and she almost couldn't believe that him, the guy that was like a brother to her... Was interested in Adam. "Well, we have to do something about that, don't you think so, Groot?" Looking confused at her, Groot's eyes followed Nebula as she made her way to (M/n).

"I am Groot?"

Maybe he wasn't showing it, but he was freaking out internally.

Nebula just asked him if, while Knowhere is being rebuilt, Adam could stay at his apartment with him, since he has been sleeping in the ship for the past week. And there's no way he could deny that, even if that meant stumbling over his words and own two feet at the sight of the golden boy so close to him at all times.

Of course, Adam heard the news from Rocket, who had come and fetched him from the ship, only saying what was necessary for him to understand what was happening.

He was still half asleep, so he only heard 'share an apartment with him' and no more, he rubbed his eyes, and followed the raccoon to the tallest apartment complex in Knowhere, and there, at the entrance of the building, was (M/n), who looked at him and smile.

"Welcome to your new home, Adam."
