[ They have very different ways to approach situations, but that's why they work so well together, they complement each other. Peter admires her resolve and her focus, Gamora's good heart and her sharp mind. If he had helped her to be less stoic, then she undoubtedly helped him to improve and mature, although most people would doubt that last fact. Not to mention all the ways in which she saved him, not only his skin. Peter can't, and doesn't want, to imagine a life without her.
He smiles at that chuckle and murmurs a soft thanks when Gamora helps him to get rid of the belts and jacket but lets her do things at her own pace. And then...
I've missed you.
It breaks his heart to hear those words and he's pretty sure it shows in his face. For weeks, Peter had been raging on the inside at the injustice of it all, not just that they got separated, but that she had to die alone with that monster when all she wanted in her life was to be free of him. It pained him in a way Peter couldn't put in words, and that more often than not things ended with him kicking and shooting things in the station's training room at random hours of the night.
Now, one arm sneaks around her even before he realizes what he's doing. The other lifts and Peter tugs a strand of hair behind her ear, caressing her face. ]
I've missed you too, love. I didn't think I'd get to see you again. [ Peter pulls her close, and they can now lie down more comfortably, his back against the door as if he's trying to be a shield between her and the rest of the world. She's stronger than him, far more resilient than a simple human and he knows that, but it won't stop Peter from trying. ] I've got you. We're safe here.
