Peter yet again was in a daze when Nikki pulled away, and looking over at the high council yet again. He gave a grin and nod to the people, but the short little one wasn't too happy to see Quill kissing Nikki. Go figure. But Peter was coming too, listening more to the conversation was going on. What were they talking about?

 [i]“Because I have a document right here that says I do not have to marry him.”[/i]

"Marriage?" Peter asked quietly, looking at everyone. 

[i]“Per the agreement though, I will have open contact and when there is a meeting I will return but, for now, per the laws; a wife is to stay with her husband.”[/i]

"Mettings? Wife? Husband...? Wait, Husband?" 

The Nova came down to interrupt, and he seemed to know a lot more than Peter did, but that didn't stop him from holding Nikki just a bit closer, giving a smirk to him. It was as if he was protecting her from the guy.

[i]“What do you mean he qualifies? Peter Quill is not royalty.”[/i]

"Uh oh." Peter said, the gears finally going in to place, and figuring out what was going on, but he was ignored. Rick went on to tell the council that Peter was in fact royalty, and "qualified" and heir to a throne that he had no intention of taking.

"Yeah, it was kind of a curve ball too the first time I heard it--" Peter began.

[i]“I will see this gets documented in its proper place. Per the costumes of the planet, you are expected to be where your husband is. If we need to get a hold of you, we will reach out to the Milano.”[/i]

"Isn't there more to a marriage than signing papers? family permission? A ceremony... The groom having to know what's going on?" Peter called out. 

He was soon being dragged in to the ship, the doors closing, and as soon as they did, Peter exploded. "You tricked me in to marrying you?!" 

"Whoah! Quill just got married? What the hell?!"

"Congratulations, my friend!"

"don't congratulate him, you big oaf!" Gamora said to Drax. They obviously were listening to the whole thing.

Nikki began to ramble, and the more she talked, the calmer Quill got, but he was still a bit angry for this. "I would have pictured my marriage ceremony going a bit different there." Said Peter, looking at it. "You know, with suits and loved ones-- Okay, we don't have those. I guess it was an ideal marriage for someone like me." Peter admitted and shrugged, but then shook his head. "So... You chose me, the outlaw Ravager that is in the team of a dangerous group of people and a prince to a race that wouldn't hesitate to kill you, over Nova?" Peter asked her... He thought about it for a second, then smirked, and nodded. "the look on his face was priceless..." Peter muttered, then looked over at Nikki. "As much as the idea of having you of a wife is a really good thing, I don't think its our style right now, with being badass adventurers and all... How can you get us unhitched?"

The thought of having Nikki as a wife was a good one, but then again, they didn't even have a relationship before this except for one kiss, and a few little moments. Don't get him wrong, he wouldn't want anyone else to be tricked in to a marriage with, but they skipped a lot of steps in the "love" process.
