YOU CAN GUARD MY GALAXY ALL NIGHT — private

He blinked. "Wouldn't that choke you..?"

[peridot.]

He laughed and shook his head, saying softly, "No, no, I'll show you. Here, just let me.." He turned and slipped his jacket off, tossing it onto the counter and then moving back to Rocket, taking the other's arms and wrapping them around his neck. What he hadn't noticed was that now that he was just in a t-shirt, his arms were clearly visible, and they were absolutely covered in scars and somewhat recent still red cuts.

He stared at peters arms for a moment, quickly grabbing them and blinking. "Peter..?"

[peridot.]

Peter blinked in confusion for a moment before his eyes widened and he made a soft noise, looking down guiltily, "Shit, you weren't supposed to see those..."

[dannychan]

He frowned, eyes seeming to soften. "Good god, Peter.." he said softly, examining his arms and sighing gently. "I'm taking away all sharp objects from you." He finally said.

[peridot.]

His eyes widened and he said softly, shaking his head quickly, "Rocket, I don't need to be put on suicide lockdown." That was also a lie. Rocket would probably make him somewhat better, but he could still feel the horrible coil of depression in his chest, suffocating him.

[dannychan]

He hissed. "I am putting you on suicide lock down." He snapped. " your room. Let's go."

[peridot.]

His eyes widened and he contemplated arguing, and finally he huffed and started towards his room, still holding Rocket's hand and looking down at his feet.

[dannychan]

He nodded. "It did.. what do I do with my hands in that situation?"

[peridot.]

He blinked and chuckled, saying quietly, "Well, considering you're shorter than me, you'll probably wanna put your arms around my neck."
