Yondu's dark eyes scanned the room. He was looking for you. The Ravager was almost never at ease, but something about being in your presence changed that. Casual flirting and the occasional shared drink made for an easy friendship. "What are you thinking about?" a voice almost made Yondu jump. He quickly schooled his features and calmed down. He turned to see your smiling face. How had you snuck up on him?

"There she is. I was wondering where my favorite barmaid was." You laughed and slid his favorite drink toward him. "You don't have to keep trying to flatter me, Yondu. You're already my favorite. The only one for me." You blew him a kiss and turned to serve your other patrons. Yondu chuckled to himself. Of all the bars and taverns in the galaxy, this one was his favorite.

Yondu sat with his drink in his hand and his back to the wall. This short break was nice, but it would soon be back to work and what he really enjoyed doing. He glanced around so see his boys all enjoying themselves. One of them a little too well. Yondu's eyes narrowed as he looked on.

You were at the table with a few of the other Ravagers and one of them, Taserface, was very clearly hitting on you. You looked slightly uncomfortable. You wore a tense smile that only Yondu noticed wasn't real. But you let him keep flirting with you. Yondu wanted to step in, but the man hadn't actually done anything yet. So he would wait. If he stepped in too soon, it could get him banned from the tavern which meant he'd have a heck of a time trying to see you again.

So, Yondu watched. He watched as you left the Ravagers table and moved about the room. You came back to his table and your lips turned up into a smile. "Another?" you asked and Yondu nodded, not saying a word. Your brows furrowed, but you left only to return a moment later with his drink. He still didn't say anything, which wasn't like him.

"Yondu?" He looked at you. You looked genuinely concerned. Yondu chuckled and assured you that he was perfectly fine. "Just don't like the idea of my boys getting distracted by a pretty face." You rolled your eyes and laughed. "Don't worry, I won't let them get too distracted." You moved to leave the table and glanced at him over your shoulder. "And jealousy isn't a good look for you, Yondu." Yondu stared after you. He wasn't jealous. Was he?

A little while later, Yondu's eyes once again found you at Taserface's table. Only this time, there was more than just unwanted flirting. Taserface grabbed your arm and pulled you to him. His other hand went toward your backside and Yondu saw red. He jumped up, read to whistle and use his favorite weapon. Just as he was about to, you whirled around, grabbed Taserface's arm and wrenched it behind his back.

You forced Taserface up from his seat and practically dragged him outside. The other Ravagers rose, ready to fight, but one look from Yondu stopped them. He was impressed. Not many people took on one of the Ravagers and won. And not many barmaids protected themselves they way you just did. Not that they didn't know how, but a lot of males just seemed to step in without giving them a chance. But you were fast.

When you walked back in, Taserface was nowhere to be seen. Everyone went back to their business except Yondu. He stood there staring. You smiled at him. "Don't look so surprised, Yondu." You saw Yondu's little weapon floating next to him and you laughed. You took a step closer and whispered in his ear, "Thanks for trying to protect me." You placed a kiss to his blue cheek and went back to work.

"Y/N!" Yondu called. You turned back to him. "Yeah?" Yondu sheathed his weapon and took the couple of steps to close the distance between you. "Come with me." You laughed somewhat loudly. "That's a hell of a way to proposition a girl, Yondu. But no thanks. I'm happy here."

Yondu wasn't used to being told no. Still, he respected your right to say it. He didn't like it though. "Aw, are you worried about me?" He glared at you. "Girl, I don't worry about nothing or nobody except me." You shook your head fondly and giggled. "Sure. Anyway, you don't need to worry. I can take care of myself. Besides, I know you'll always come back when. After all, you're my one and only, right?" You leaned and pecked his lips before disappearing yet again, like you had never been there. But your short kiss lingered on Yondu's lip, bringing a rare smile to his face.

(it was my first time writing Yondu, so please forgive me if he's a bit OOC. If you have any polite suggestions on how to improve, hit me up!)
