GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY REACTING TO YOU FALLING ASLEEP NEXT TO THEM AFTER A BATTLE:

PETER

Peter's heart would melt: he finds you extremely lovely. He knows you deserve some rest after the tiring battle and he's glad to be there, next to you, to caress you and make you relax. He looks at you, eyes filled with love and corner of lips curved into a tiny smile, before pressing a kiss on your forhead and letting you sleep.

ROCKET

Rocket would panic: he doesn't even know what to do. It never happened before and he's so confused, then he looks at you: he immediately relaxes, seeing how peaceful and angelic you look. He calms down and slightly smiles, his hand caressing your cheek and his heart beating faster than ever.

DRAX

Drax would be speechless for the first time ever: you look so beautiful, with your hand resting on his chest and your breath perfectly regular. He smiles and brushes a lock of your hair behind your ear, while trying not to move too much to avoid disturbing you.

GROOT

Groot finds you adorable. He looks at you, his eyes scanning your face while he smiles, knowing how tired you were and how much you actually needed rest. He caresses your cheek and sees you moving to pull him closer, so he tilts his head while hugging you from behind.

GAMORA

Gamora is so grateful to have you, and eventhough she isn't exactly good with these things, she tries to cuddle with you. She wraps you in her arms and pulls you closer, her eyes filled with love keep scanning you. She is still mesmerised at how beautiful you are even when you sleep. She caresses your cheek and slowly falls asleep next to you.

MANTIS

Mantis would be so happy. She can feel how relaxed you are, how peaceful and she is glad to see that you feel free to be like that around her. She spoons with you, her fingers drawing figures on your arm while she smiles, falling asleep next to you.

BONUS + YONDU

Would commit 100% and would not hold back: Tony Stark, Peter Parker (as Spiderman of course), Clint Barton, Scott Lang, Shuri

Would reluctantly do it: Carol Danvers, Sam Wilson, Pepper Potts, Steve Rogers, Peter Quill, James “Rhodey” Rhodes

Would do it with enthusiasm, but has no real idea of what’s happening: Thor, Groot, Mantis, Drax

Would not do it because they didn’t know what it was: Bucky Barnes, T’Challa, Gamora, Nebula, Rocket Raccoon, Vision, Wanda Maximoff

Would not do it because they know what it is: Natasha Romanoff, Stephen Strange, Bruce Banner

B- Being best friends with Headcanon idea list here

Groot tagging along with you on your adventures

Him being just as loyal to you as he is to Rocket

Never having to pay for flowers ever lol

Slowly (very slowly) learning how to understand “I am Groot”

And realising that Groot has a very… colourful vocabulary, to put it simply

Automatically being respected in Rocket’s eyes

Taking care of Baby Groot:

Playing music to try and distract him.

Always having to look down to make sure he’s still there.

(He’s usually not)

Freaking out when he gets a minor injury.

Bothering the other Guardians to help you take care of Groot.

Carrying him in your pocket or on your shoulder.

Not being able to stay mad at him because he’s so freaking adorable.

Trying not to laugh when he gets mad because he looks so silly.

Flora Colossus (Groot’s species) don’t ever stop growing due to their regenerative capabilities. The oldest members were said grow to thousands of meters tall. It’s why Yggdrasil is referred to as the world tree, as in some Asguardian legends, it’s said it was once a flora colossus that grew so old and so impossibly large that it transcended its physical being and became the nebula that connects the realms together. It’s partly why Groot’s language is taught as an elective, as it’s believed to be a sacred language.
