this is right after the Christmas special))**
you were and og guardian of the galaxy, and you really didn’t like mantis when she joined, but you eventually accepted her into the group
and surprise you ended up in a relationship with her, when you first met her you didn’t let her read your emotions, and even after the whole Kevin bacon thing you still refused
you were sitting on a random bench on knowhere, just thinking about stuff when all of a sudden you feel two (small compared to Yours) on your shoulders
“Aha, I got you!” mantis says in her usual sweet voice before starting her whole mind or emotion reading thing, you never really did pay attention to what it was
after a couple of second mantis let’s go of you and stared at you with wide eyes, she had just seen horrors inside you and yet you seemed so calm
