you know, you’re getting weirder.

“Th'fuck do you know?” Her words were slurred as she all but slumped against the wall, the bottle of jack she’d stolen from him the last time they’d seen each other–before half the universe had been ripped from existence–clutched in her fingers and half drained of it’s mind numbing contents.
She’d lost her family–again! No rhyme or reason, one second they were there and the next they’d faded into nothingness; and she was left utterly and completely alone in the middle of some dark corner of space.
Moving to take another swig of her mindnumbing remedy, she paused; something was wrong, even halfway down a bottle she could see that. Then it hit her.
“Wh–…where’s the kid…?” It was no secret that Arista liked Groot, she and the little twig had managed to foster a special little relationship; she’d sing to him and dance with him around the workshop. She’d even bought him that video game that Rocket and the others seemed to hate.
“Rocket…? Where’s the kid…?” This time the question came out a little smoother, a little more sober and a little more alarmed. Maybe he did know what she was going through after all.

Rocket wasn't quite sound asleep, but little snores caught between his canines && an even breathing pattern put him close to it. && from his place, curled up in a ball atop a narrow storage shelf, it hardly mattered. The din of bickering && usual comradery was far enough in the distance that it didn't bother him from beyond the door.

Groot watched his would be guardian sleep, anxious brown eyes glancing every so often to the door, beyond which the world seemed to never stop. But here, inside the dark of the room they shared–no bigger than a cell they once shared, back when they first met–time seemed to still if only for a moment or two.
The little flora did nothing to wake Rocket, instead choosing to carefully crawl in bed beside him, his little frame huddled under the raccoon’s chin. And when Gamora came inspecting–only a little worried that she’d not seen the pair for more than an hour or two–she found them there; Groot fast asleep and Rocket now comfortably still in his own slumber.
flcracolossus:
🌿— Okay but think about Groot being able to get to Rocket when he sleeps in high places and when Groot is little he just climbs up there and snuggles with him and when he’s bigger he picks him up and cuddles him.
