Y/N: *walking into the room while yawning and stretching* Hey, guys. How’s it going?
Rocket: Where the hell have you been?
Y/N: Sleeping… why?
Gamora: Well, you’ve been sleeping these past two days straight, then
Y/N: Wow… I’m going back to sleep
Peter: *walking in and slamming the door* YOU’VE BEEN ASLEEP?!?! FOR THE PAST TWO DAYS?!?!
Peter: *angrily charging at Y/N* I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD
Y/N: OH SHIT-

Rocket: could that douche actually create a perfect society?
Y/N: nah. An imperfect being can’t create perfection. It’s unobtainable
Adam: so a perfect being, like me, could?
Y/N: sorry Warlock. You’re a perfect specimen. There’s a difference.
Cosmo: did you just compliment and insult someone at the same time?
Rocket: that’s an art form im dying to learn! (Laughs)

You know that fic where Rocket only let's y/n pet him? I NEED MORE ITS SO CUTE. Can you do them cuddling in he living room or common room amd falling asleep then the other guardians walk in and catch them?
I'm on a roll today
"its not a regular thing," Rocket whispers.
You scoff, peering down at the raccoon leaning against your chest, your hand playing with his.
"Of course," You press a kiss to the spot behind his ear. His claws gently scratching against your palm and fingers.
You're reclined in the deep living room sofa, one leg propped up on the coffee table and the other hanging off the couch. Rocket found you on his way to bed, and curled up in your lap. You pulled a thin blanket over the two of you, snuggling him close.
Slowly drifting through space, wrapped up, warm and snugly, with each other, you both fall asleep.
You both miss the sweet smile from Gamora and Mantis, the chuckle from Drax and the scoff from Quill.
But not to worry, Nebula took a lot of photos.

If your willing, general romantic hcs for rocket raccoon?
Yay first rocket rqqq ! Pls ask more I love this mf . For the record your a biologically enhanced animal experiment like rocket in all of my rocket x readers unless you guys state otherwise in your rqs. Light spoilers for gotg vol 3, if you know about his past anyways. Even then I don’t greatly spoil his past.
Tumblr media
- Dating rocket can be rather stressful. Though the girls of your little family of misfits are typically fine, quill and drax tend to tease the hell out of your boyfriend. While it can be annoying from time to time, it’s typically funny. Even groot has his own share of light teasing, but it’s really just him saying things outright and being a little too honest.
- also yknow. Getting constantly attacked by people your family happens to piss off also can be stressful at times.
- but all that shit aside, your boyfriend can be rather.. stressful to be with at first. And there’s a lot of shit you have to tolerate when it comes to him.
- you MUST be able to deal with his constant sarcasm and light insults towards you, to be perfectly honest I can’t imagine him with anyone easily hurt or too soft. You have to be a very strong motherfucker to be willing to deal with his shit.
- however, despite his personality he is a tiny bit softer around you and even if it’s not noticeable to you it certainly is to literally everyone else on your shared ship.
- rocket can be difficult to deal with, but so long as you’re patient enough with him he becomes less difficult to be around and a lot softer as time goes by.
- you’ll notice that he insults you a lot less, and they seem less like insults and more like light jokes to make you laugh. Light teasing. But the sarcasm doesn’t ever wither away. Though he’s not as sarcastic with you.
- rocket, over time, is very into physical affection but is not good at admitting it. It takes a very long time for him to become comfortable with you being affectionate physically with him, but once he grows used to it he loves it. He .. won’t ever tell you that but man if he doesn’t make it obvious.
- over time rocket with lightly, lowkey flirt with you, until it just kinda becomes straight up, shameless flirting the longer you are together.
- rocket also becomes bolder as time goes by, initiating or even asking for some affection if he’s feeling particularly needy.
- while he tends to not do this in front of the others, the longer you guys date the more accepting he becomes of pda.
- likes to cuddle a lot, also insists you sleep with him often. Claims it’s in case groot needs something while he’s sleeping so you’re also there but.. you know he just wants to sleep with you lol.
- lets you pet him :) sometimes he purrs when he’s really relaxed
- (will pet you too low key)
- rocket is overprotective often, and very jealous.
- he has many insecurities, so it’s only natural he gets jealous especially if he thinks anyone is into you (most likely not, but still).
- he’s also lost many people, the first friends he ever had, his entire family during the blip, he even lost groot when he first met that family. He’s protective for good reason.
- losing you is his worst fear
- he doesn’t know how to tell you how much you mean to him, so he shows it through making you things, fixing you things, and just… gift giving in general. If he notices you eyeing something for too long, he’s definitely getting it one way or another. Even if it means he has to steal it. Especially if it means he has to steal it.
- likes to listen to you talk while he tinkers with whatever the hell
- he kinda says a lot of offhanded shit that makes it sound like he’s not listening that much, but he’s hanging on your every word
- while shy with a lot of stuff in the beginning of your relationship as time goes by he is quite bold
- holds your hand a lot, likes to just feel your hands in his? It’s easy to drag you in case danger comes, it’s nice to feel your warmth and feel the comfort of you being there. It also helps that physical affection isn’t his go to all the time and it’s not like a huge amount of contact in comparison to hugs. (Not that he minds physical affection with you, though).
- he sucks at apologies, he just makes/tinkers your shit for you to make up for being a jackass. But he will apologize if you two had a serious fight.
- always willing to let go of his ego if it meant you’d forgive him after a serious altercation. But yknow, it would have to be REALLY bad.
- might even make you food as an apology lol very rare since he doesn’t make food for anybody
- likes to kiss you on the cheek a lot, sometimes on the lips but his go to is to kiss your cheek
- he will open up to you, but it takes a very long time. You are the one person he truly trusts and opens up to but it’s usually when he’s having a nightmare or something. He tends to not want to focus on his past, so he doesn’t talk about it. A part of him just wants to forget that was ever his life so as a result doesn’t talk about it to anybody unless he gets a nightmare that reminds him of his torture.
- it also makes it easy that you’re like him and know what he’s been through so, lol.
- hates seeing you cry, will actually beat the shit outta anyone that makes you cry and if he is ever the reason he feels like the biggest asshole in the galaxy
- while it does take him an extremely long time to open up to you, he will encourage you to open up to him. He’s very understanding if it takes you time too, but will be ultimately hurt if you tell the other guardians anything about yourself that he doesn’t know. (Unless you had some history with one of them prior to meeting him cause that would make more sense to him).
- bad at comforting but wants to be the one there for you
- surprise! Rocket actually likes hugging you but you guys never hug because he seems so against it anytime you hug him. He secretly is a big fan
- anytime you compliment him he’s just kinda like “yeah yeah”
- calls you nicknames btw :) “doll” is a favorite one of his. However he also likes classic ones like “babe, baby, hun, honey, sweetie” sometimes even “sweetheart” and likes if you do the same
- nuzzles his face in your neck/chest when he sleeps
- while rocket can be rather selfish at times, he always thinks of you first, or at least tries to. Which is a lot coming from him.
- if you guys had a hammock, he would actually just love lazing around with you two on a hammock
- when you two are sleeping together he’s very cuddly, if you have to get up for any reason at all he starts to growl and tells you not to move
- “rock I have to pee” “not my problem.” “It is going to be when I pee everywhere!” “Ok now you just made it weird.”
- I can imagine before you started dating the two of you were like the bestest of friends lol.
- gets nightmares often about losing you
- tends to.. show off from time to time.. when you first met he showed off how smart he was at making scraps of metal into literal bombs, or how good of a shooter he is, or how good of a pilot he is, etc. he LOVES to show off because he just loves the idea of impressing you
- this also comes from a place of insecurity and just thinking he’s not that great or competent
- yes, he does purr when he’s very relaxed typically when he’s asleep :)
- don’t tell him you heard him tho he will get mad at you for “invading his privacy” lol
- just the biggest softie for you if you give him time and have the patience of a saint
- he’s kinda aware he’s a lot to deal with, and is eternally grateful for your patience and for your love and kindness
- because honestly people being kind to him? Loving him for him? Not something he’s used to. And honestly something he’s scared of, because of how foreign it is to him.
- and also take the fact everyone that ever cared about him has died at some point (like other than nebula, honestly) you can imagine his fear of letting others into his life, especially when he cares about you so much.
- can I just say… boop his nose? He tries not to laugh every goddamn time
- rare moments where rocket is sentimental talking to Peter and is like “idk I just feel happy for some reason” and just looks at you with a lovesick smile and Peter is like… “hmm… wonder why..”
- speaking of Peter he teases the hell outta you two because he genuinely thinks you guys are adorable. Drax does the same. Mantis on occasion, but not as much lol.
- also thor ships you guys too btw <3 like hardcore he is so annoying about y’all LMFAO
- I can imagine y’all playing with eachother like… him just chasing you around on all fours for fun, trying to tackle you to the ground
- kinda reminds him of when he was little, the good times he had, anyway.
- also you taking care of any of his injury’s, no matter how big or small, is cathartic for him. He likes feeling like he doesn’t always have to take care of himself, or be alone. You have his back, you can take care of him for once, you can protect him too. (It certainly helps that the first act of kindness towards him was lyla easing his pain so LOL).
- if he ever has to take care of your injuries, he will. He’s willing to take care of any injury you get, though if he knows it’s not a huge deal he tries not to make it a huge thing. But he tends to.. overreact anyways and gets overprotective and tells you (more like yells at you) to be more careful.
- kinda steals your stuff
- likes an s/o that finds him funny, but also isn’t afraid to call him out on his bullshit even if he finds it annoying in the moment, he grows as a person because of it
- when you guys stay in knowhere together, much more time for cuddles since you have your own space to relax
- also way more space for him to chase you around all over the place lol
- also low key being parents to all the little raccoons rocket now has with him… 😪
- he’s started to accept a lot of your kind gestures as you caring for him and being nice to him, instead of it being charity work or because you pity him for some reason, he still gets grumpy when he sees your gifts in his line of sight tho
- Would probably blame himself if you ever got hurt, but wouldn’t utter a word of it to anyone. Would probably end up telling you though because everytime he’d look at you the guilt would increase. Probably resulting in him not looking at you for awhile until you get him to spill.
- also if he ever thought you were dead (perhaps during the blip) again, blames himself hard and cries A LOT. Holds onto any possessions you may have had that were important to you. He makes it his goal to keep them safe for you. Would also wear your clothes quite a bit. Sometimes when he’s about to go to bed he just smells your clothes, and thinks about how much it smells like you and just cries.
- ANGST ASIDE!!!
- what a lovely guy to be with who loves you unconditionally, truly

Rocket raccoon x reader Part 1
Finding you
Hello! This is part one! It WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS TO VOL.3!
Trigger warnings!
1. Abuse physically and mentally
2. Substance abuse/ drugging
~~~~~~~~~
All you remember is the small children running around and yelling. Your small cage in the corner barely had enough room for you to stand up if you straightened out your back your head hit the top. Stumbling to your feet, “What’s going on?”
The drugs still having an strong effect on you, your vision was blurry and your head spinned. Still in the same old block cell with the other animals you looked around as another explosion went off. “Hey! What’s going on!?”
Suddenly the high evolutionary was infront of you. Panicking you shrunk in the corner, “you!” He shrieked.
Opening the door he grabbed you, grabbing the vial on the nearby desk. Sticking the needle past your fur, in your neck, and pressing the drugs back into your system. Immense pain shot all throughout your system screams erupted from your throat but died down as the drugs took effect.
“You’re coming with me you mangy monster,” his cold eyes staring into your fading eyes. You felt a dragging on your feet and a hand on your neck grabbing your nape.
That’s when you felt the full force of the drugs, colors exploded in your vision, then the visions came, your could hear people talking and then you felt being dropped. The visions of horrible deaths of the people around you. The incinerators flames, animals screaming, and laughing from the nearby people.
Panic engulfed you once again as the flames grew stronger and closer. It’s like you could feel the real heat on your face, “please…LET ME GO!” Screams escaped from your throat once again.
What really was happening was Groot was holding you in his arms as the explosions got closer and closer. Your screamed out once again as a flame licked your face on the side. Your eyes closed and your body went limp.
Groot jumped to the other side and passed you off to a near by nurse helping animals get off. You were carried to the medical center, once they got a good look at you. Fur was missing in places that had been cut off or yanked out. Metal pieces littered your body all over. On your forearms a metal plate where there was empty vials attached to them, a small tube crawled out of the top of the pipe and into the fur.
Detaching the tubes the nurses put them aside, and injected you with a drug nullifier. Your body visibly loosened the muscles once it kicked in. You fell into a deep sleep, music lightly leaking through the cracked window.
Once you opened your eyes, you tried to reach up and rub your eyes but you couldn’t. You could hear people talking in the other room. Panic set in, looking down and seeing all your arms and legs strapped down. Then you heard the heart monitor looking over at it, all you could do was panic more. Screams let loose “let me go! Your majesty please! Not again!”
The door nearby opened and nurses rushed in and a few people you didn’t recognize. “Let me go!” You thrashed around.
One of the nurses pushed your shoulders down and you bit her hand. Another nurse got an injection ready shakily and turned to you, “NO! Get off me! Not again!”
You heard someone else yell and the nurses backed off. You hyperventilating was the only noise in the room till a man with reddish blonde hair came towards you. Hands up “we mean no harm,” he took steps towards your right side of the bed “we’re not going to hurt you.”
You looked up at him ears flat against your head, still hyperventilating. “Shhh your okay,” he whispered. A nurse moved towards you and you thrashed once again looking at her with fear twisted into your face. “Get out,” the man ordered, the nurses scurried out of the room. “Hey see? They’re gone now.” You looked at the needle still sitting on the counter in arms reach of the man. He slowly reached for it, you thrashed but being so tired you laid back. He threw the needle across the room.
Once he got a good look at you, one of your eyes looked like a camera in the pupil. He clenched his jaw, he could only assume you had been awake for that while surgery with out any meds. “See? I’m not going to hurt you. My name is Peter, what is your name?”
“IPT-189” you looked away from him. Looking around the room you noticed a big mirror on one of the walls. You looked horrible locking eyes with yourself, red and white hair dirty, your forearms with the empty metallic plate, and your right ear was torn in a place or two.
Peter recognized you as an animal called a red panda on earth, he looked at your reflection. Just on the other side were the rest of the guardians, he heard footsteps coming closer. Your head snapped towards the door, frantic eyes taking in all you could. The door slid open and another one of the high evolutionary experiments was standing there, a tree person man, a blue woman with metallic pieces on her eyes, a gray man, and a woman with antennas stood there.
Then Peter reached over and unlatched both of your wrists, you watched him with hesitation. Unsure you sat still pulling your arms in with the blanket. It was quite, till the gray man walked over with gusto “my name is Drax! That is Mantis” he pointed to every single one that he introduced. You nodded to them all as a greeting. Rocket couldn’t believe it when he saw the high evolutionary holding you and he still couldn’t believe it seeing you in the bed.
He didn’t know what to do. He never thought he would see another batch 89 again. Why did they keep you around? We’re you after rocket or before? He had so many questions. You looked tired and dirty, Mantis spoke up “let’s get you a bath or a shower? How does that sound?”
“What is that?” You looked her in the eyes. She was surprised that you did. “it’ll get all the dirt off of you,” she walked towards you and held out her hand. You looked at it questioning it, and slid past her landing on your feet for a second till you tripped a bit and caught yourself rocket flinched to catch you. “Please just show me where it is,” You murmured.
She nodded walking out the door and you walked past rocket looking at him. He opened his mouth to say something but nothing came out. The door closed after you and the rest left in the room turned to rocket. He looked at each of them again, “what?!”
“I am Groot” Groot said.
“Oh come on! I am not!” He snarled back
“I am Groot” rocket rolled his eyes as he walked away.
~~~~~
Gosh it feel good to write again! I hope everyone likes it and will continue to support me! Stay safe everyone!

Kiss (HumanRocket x You)
*******************************************************************************************
Pairing : Human Rocket x reader
Summary : You’re enjoying yourself at a party on Knowhere until you meet this really handsome guy over there and-... wait... is that Rocket...?
Words : 785
(English is not my first language... I hope you will enjoy it anyway ! :))
*******************************************************************************************
The lively atmosphere of Knowhere's bustling party filled the air, with alien species from all corners of the galaxy gathered to celebrate. Music blasted from the speakers, and vibrant lights danced across the room. Amidst the revelry, Rocket found himself standing at the bar, nursing a drink and observing the crowd.
Unbeknownst to him, a cosmic anomaly had temporarily transformed him into a human for a few hours. His raccoon features were replaced by a handsome face with tousled brown hair, and his furry body was now lean and muscular. Dressed in a stylish jacket and jeans, he blended in seamlessly with the human revelers.
As you made your way through the crowd, your eyes fell upon the intriguing stranger at the bar. You couldn't help but feel a magnetic pull towards him. His rugged charm and mischievous glint in his eyes were captivating, drawing you in like a moth to a flame.
You sidled up to the bar next to the transformed Rocket, flashing him a flirtatious smile. "Hey there, handsome. Mind if I join you?"
Rocket smirked, finding it amusing to be on the receiving end of yours advances for once. "Be my guest, gorgeous. The more, the merrier."
As you chatted, you couldn't shake off the feeling that there was something oddly familiar about this stranger. His voice had a hint of the snarkiness you had come to associate with Rocket, but his appearance threw you off.
Curiosity piqued, you leaned closer, studying him intently. "You know, you remind me of someone I know. A... raccoon, actually."
Rocket raised an eyebrow, a mischievous twinkle in his eyes. "Oh, do I now? And what's this raccoon's name?"
Your eyes widened in realization, a mix of surprise and excitement washing over you. "Rocket! It's you, isn't it?"
Rocket chuckled, his human face breaking into a grin. "Bingo. You finally caught on, Y/N."
Your expression shifted from surprise to amusement. "Well, I've got to admit, you clean up nicely. And I never thought I'd say this, but you make a pretty handsome human."
He feigned offense, playfully nudging your shoulder. "Hey, watch it. I'm always handsome, no matter the form."
You laughed, the sound ringing through the crowded bar. "Well, I must say, I'm finding myself rather attracted to this human version of you. Who knew?"
Rocket's grin widened, a flicker of vulnerability shining in his eyes. "Maybe I should stay like this permanently, huh? Would save me a lot of trouble."
Your voice softened as you reached out to gently touch his arm. "No, Rocket. You're perfect just the way you are. Fur and all."
Your eyes locked, and for a moment, the world around you faded into the background. The connection you shared transcended physical appearances. Whether human or raccoon, you bond remained unbreakable.
As the night wore on and the drinks flowed freely, your attraction to the transformed Rocket grew stronger. The pulsating music, the dimmed lights, and the intoxicating atmosphere seemed to fuel your chemistry. Amidst the vibrant chaos of the bar, you and Rocket found yourselves drawn closer together, your bodies leaning in as you shared whispered conversations and laughter. The line between friendship and something more began to blur, your inhibitions lowered by the alcohol.
You leaned in closer to Rocket, your eyes shining with a mix of desire and mischief. The music thumped in the background, providing a pulsating rhythm to your moment.
With a daring smile, you closed the distance between you two and pressed your lips against his, capturing him in a passionate kiss. The world seemed to spin around you as the crowd faded into a blur, leaving only the heat of the moment between you.
The kiss was electric, a fusion of longing, curiosity, and unspoken emotions. Rocket's initial surprise gave way to reciprocation, his hand instinctively finding its place on the small of your back, drawing you even closer. Time seemed to stand still as you lost yourselves in the intoxicating moment.
Your lips finally parted, leaving you both breathless and wide-eyed with a mix of astonishment and exhilaration. The realization of what had just transpired settled in, and your cheeks flushed with a combination of excitement and self-awareness.
Rocket, his voice laced with a touch of huskiness, spoke softly, "Well, that was unexpected."
Your eyes still locked with his, you managed a playful yet nervous smile. "I guess I got carried away. Blame it on the drinks. "
He grinned, his eyes twinkling with a mixture of amusement and desire. "Hey, no complaints here. You've got good taste."
Your cheeks flushed again, a mixture of embarrassment and excitement coloring your features. "Well, I guess I can't resist your charms, human or not."

I just found out Rockets VA can sing (really good actually) do you have any headcanons based on that?
mmmmm. sorry for the delay, i got distracted by rocket prompt week and also by thinking about rocket crooning in your ear.
he’s always humming, you know? (this is not a headcanon — it’s in the movies.) he’s often humming while he works. and that scene on berhert? where he’s sort of purring along with the music while plotting severe injury to the incoming ravagers? i…
sorry. focusing.
im sure the first few times you hear him mumbling lyrics under his breath, you damn near need to excuse yourself. you know you can’t call attention to it — in a best-case scenario, he'll stop singing entirely. you say nothing, and your silence is rewarded: rocket's mumbling a tune — so low your toes curl in your boots — almost whenever the two of you are working quietly on some project or another. most of the time, he doesn’t even realize he’s doing it. the rest of the time, he thinks you can’t hear him.
once, while the entire crew was dicking around in the common room and rocket started humming under his breath, pete had commented on it. you'd shot him a murderous look but it had been too late: rocket’s ears had gone flat and his tail had tucked between his ankles and his eyes had swiveled around the room. he'd been shifting and snapping out harsh words so frantically that you were sure he was scarlet under his fur. you’d had to go a miserable dozen cycles before you’d stumbled across him lilting low to himself again in the engine room one night.
fuckin pete. you still haven’t forgiven that guy.
but things get easier — at least between you and rocket — after that. there's a day when rocket looks up and realizes that you can hear him — maybe you're swaying slightly to the sound of his voice, or lightly tapping the soft pads of your fingertips like raindrops on your knee. he stumbles to a fumbling halt. you don’t say anything, though: you just pass him an encouraging half-smile before returning to whatever you were doing. you’ll hang out with him regardless of whether you get to lull yourself to the sound of his deep, pretty voice or not, you figure.
it happens again — and then again. and eventually, rocket stops stopping. he sees you walk into the otherwise-empty common area while he’s clanging away on some new cannon, or you slide into the seat next to him while he’s piloting the bowie alone — and he tosses you a little smirk and keeps going, keeps humming those bars or rumbling those words up over his ribs and out the corners of his mouth.
you’re not the first person he’s sung to, of course.
there’s a reason groot loves music. when he was just a sprout, rocket would carefully place groot's small pot right next to where he lay his own head, and he’d croon a lullaby from star-lord’s library of songs. this was how the little flora colossus first learned to fall asleep — and how he woke up — every rotation for the first dozen cycles of his life. even when groot got a little bigger and could leave his pot and run around chasing orloni, he’d still drift off sprawled on rocket’s shoulder or across the top of his head: dozing to the sound of his father clinking away on aero-rigs while humming some melody or another.
even before that — i think rocket probably sung to groot the elder, too, at least once or twice. maybe the first time rocket had seen the big guy lose his limbs, before he'd learned that they would grow back. rocket had promised tibius lark that he’d look out for the flora colossus, and now here's groot — mutilated and in pain. rocket had tried to soothe the groaning, moaning groot to sleep, wracked by guilt before eventually realizing the big idiot was just a giant frickin’ crybaby with limbs that would essentially regenerate.
still, rocket hadn’t minded singing to his friend too much after that.
maybe even earlier, too. maybe there had been a time, after explaining music to his cagemates but before telling them about flying machines. maybe he’d hummed for batch 89 too.
they would’ve thought his childish voice was the most comforting, lovely thing they’d ever heard, i think. sometimes, as you might guess, the members of batch 89 would have nightmares or be in too much pain to close their eyes and rest, and when those nights happened, rocket would have hummed them back to sleep, all low and slow and sweet.
floor would have begged for songs every chance she got. teefs would have marveled at how beautiful rocket had sounded, and lylla — lylla would have told him, very solemnly, that he had a gift.
rocket doesn't think about that very often — tries not to think about those days at all, if he's being honest — but eventually, as you know, his past comes out. it's long after he’s gotten comfortable with you, of course — and raised his son, and saved half the universe, and purchased the skull of a god, and freed himself from the high evolutionary for the last time, and become a captain, but now—
now, he remembers lylla's words.
the star children descend from the arête and different households try to take them in, but it only takes one or two failed sleep-shifts across all of knowhere before it becomes apparent that none of the kids can rest. the children have nightmares — of course they do — and they’re used to sleeping shoulder-to-shoulder with each other in cages, on hard floors. they're used to whispering stories and comforts to each other, listening gratefully to the quiet words of their siblings, small hands gripping small hands in the darkness.
it takes a while to figure out, but eventually arrangements are made — at least until the kids can adjust. spaces are shifted so the children can nest together, and it helps — mostly. drax tries telling stories. cosmo recommends warm milk. howard suggests a quarter-shot of ginsky for each kid (you promptly put the kibosh on that one). nebula comes one night to tell the kids in great detail how she’ll destroy anyone who dares to harm them. you’re so happy mantis went on her journey to find herself but sometimes, when you see how exhausted and hollow-eyed the kids are in the morning, you just wish she were back so she could help them sleep.
and then suddenly it's a few cycles later, and you realize you haven’t heard any more concerns about the kids’ night terrors. you look around and realize they’re bright-eyed again, cheeks glowing, chattering at breakfast. curious as to what ended up working — if it was the indigarran lavender satchets sent by one of kraglin’s ex-wives or it it was the broker boring them with the droning details of the histories of various artifacts he’d once had in his shop on Xandar — you come visiting one night on tip-toe, just to check in.
rocket’s there — curled up on an old armchair someone had brought in for the neverending parade of storytellers and caregivers. his voice rolls over the sleepy children, and their eyelashes droop while he lingers on some notes and skips up and down others. the sound of it curls around them — and you. his voice nestles into the shadows, practically plucking up the edges of the blankets and tucking the kids in all on its own.
you watch as, handful after handful, they drift: eased deeply into dreaming by the power and protection of the captain’s voice, all on its own.

"I am an insanely good matchmaker," You say as you sit on one of the chairs by Rockets workbench with rolls and slide towards the working Racoon.
Rocket looks at you and lets out a snicker. “Do I even have to ask how you came to that conclusion?” He says with a raised eyebrow.
“I just made Gamora confess to Peter. I think we’ll have a couple around here pretty soon.”
Rocket puts down the gloves, completely surprised by the news. “You did?” He says, with his eyebrow raised and his face showing an amused look.“How did you do that? The Gamora I know would’ve never confessed to Peter that easily.”
“Like I said.” You shrug, “I’m an insanely good matchmaker.” There was a short silence. “Soooo.. what are you tinkering on?”
He looks over at the workbench and points at the object he’s working on as he replies. “I’m trying to upgrade our communications systems. Just… small adjustments here and there, nothing too major. Still, it can help us keep communications running if we end up in an unstable area of space.” He says, sounding like he knows what he’s doing. (Obviously he does. Its like his whole thing!)
You just nod and get lost in thought before blurting something out. “Smarts are really attractive, to be honest.”
Rocket chuckles. “Really? So we’re both attractive, then,” he says, a playful smirk on his face.
He looks back at the workbench and continues to tinker with whatever was on there.
You laugh a bit. “You think I’m smart enough for you? I mean I’m a genius, yeah, but you? You’re another level of genius.”
Rocket chuckles at your response, and he gives you a playful nudge on the shoulder. “Y/N, you should give yourself more credit than that. If you have the confidence to call yourself a genius without hesitation, then you’re definitely smart enough. Not nearly as smart as me but still,” he says.
“Plus, I think you look very smart. Just look at you,” he says, while still grinning at you and poking his finger against your forehead, making you furrow your eyebrows.
“I look... smart..?” You point a finger at him with a teasing grin as if a light bulb went off in your head. “Aha! So you think I’m attractive!”
Rocket tittered slightly. He’s been set up here, and it makes him a tad bit uncomfortable… but to be honest, he doesn’t mind that much.
“It seems we both think the other one is attractive then.”
“I never said I think you’re attractive.”
“You’re thinking it, aren’t you?” He asks, looking you in the eyes again and giving you a teasing smirk.
You shimmy your shoulders with a smug face. “I don’t know. Never said it.”
“Actions speak louder than words, Humie.” He grins slyly and doesn’t break eye contact, still with that teasing smirk evident on his face.
“I can tell you think I’m attractive. You keep looking at me,” he says, a soft chuckle escaping his lips as he continues to look at you.
“Oh really?” You were still teasing him. "Does you annoying me mean that you hate me then?” You ask with a smirk and raised an eyebrow.
“Oh, don’t forget that you also kept annoying me,” the raccoon replies with a smirk of his own, raising an eyebrow.
He leans on the counter, his elbows resting on the hardwood surface. With a playful look in his eyes, he says the following: “We love teasing each other. It’s like a game that never ends, it’s a fun way to pass the time for us. We always have the opportunity to outsmart each other, and I think that this whole thing we have going on is something special.”
Resting your elbows on his workbench you put your head into your hands and lean a bit closer with a grin. “True.”
“We keep finding ways to keep this game of ours going. It’s almost like a tradition, y’know?” The raccoon chuckles.
“And as much as we tease each other, I have to say that I’ve… somewhat come to enjoy it.” He says, the playful look in his eyes starting to look like a genuine smile. 
At some point, while you were talking, Rocket continued to tinker with the communications relay.
“Aha.” You lift your head a bit with a grin. “Good to know.” You kept watching him tinker.
Rocket keeps focusing on the task in front of him and looks up after a few seconds. “What’s good to know? That I’m enjoying our teasing?” He asks as he turns back to the table and continues to make adjustments to the small device.
“Yeah.” You give him a vague answer and then ruffle the fur on his head before getting up from your seat next to him.
Rocket raises an eyebrow at you when you ruffle his fur. He lets out an amused and slightly annoyed chuckle.
“How would you like it if I ruffled your hair in front of the others, hmm?” He asks in a teasing tone, the playful smirk on his face not quite gone yet. 
You gestured around the room. “No one’s here. No need to get embarrassed.”
“Good point… I guess what happens in the lounge stays in the lounge, right?”

Hi just wanted to say your Rocket x Reader’s mean the world to me if you could ever maybe do another one. Romantic if you can? Maybe Rocket seeing reader bond with baby Groot and it makes him maybe think about her and him having kids? Though it isn’t possible it just makes him question their friendship? And thinks maybe it could be more?
Ooooooo, baby fever 🫣
ALSO THANK YOU SO MUCH <3
It felt wrong.
This sticky, annoying feeling, stirring in his gut.
Groot simply needed help getting onto the table for the mission meeting. And you'd gently kneeled down, extended your hand and waited for him to step up.
He sat in your palm as you lifted him to the tables surface.
And with the patience of a Saint, you waited until he crawled out of your hand and then returned your attention to Quill.
Rocket, on the other hand, couldn't get it out of his head.
Especially now, laying in bed in the middle of the night, tossing and turning not being able to sleep.
Eventually, he did dooze off, but you didn't leave his mind.
He found himself in the ship, in a large open space with you at the dining room table.
"Y/n?" He asked, walking up to you. You turned, holding three little raccoon babies in your arms.
"Hey," You smile, handling the babies with a concerning amount of grace. They squirmed and whine softly, but you rocked them to sleep in your arms.
"What's going-"
"Do you wanna hold one?" You ask, taking a baby off your shoulder and handing it to him.
He panicked, taking the baby and staring strangely at it. It obviously looked like him, but this baby had your eyes.
They were....
"Are these...." He looked up at you. "Our babies?"
You smiled. "Of course," You kneeled down, cupping the side of his face. "We're a little family,"
You leaned in to kiss him, your lips inches away from his-
A loud pounding outside his door woke Rocket up, covered in warm sweat and breathing heavy.
"Rocket! Wake your ass up! It's your turn to pilot the ship!" Quill yelled through the steel door.
"Alright, Quill, I'll be up in a few!" Rocket sighed, putting his head in his hands.
This was going to be an awkward day.

Jealous rocket raccoon with s/o?
Rocket gets jealous quite often, but never admits to such feelings. As a result he tends to not only be extra clingy, but extra aggressive towards anyone that isn’t you. He is more intolerable than usual, and usually needs you to get him to talk about his feelings. Normally, it’s something you can laugh off, but if the feelings stick, you know it is something deeper and comes more from insecurity rather than some petty jealousy.
“You were jealous.” Rocket laughs at you a little too mockingly, and due to the overreaction he gave himself away, “Was not! Why the hell would I get jealous of that guy?! I’m everything he’s not! Smart! Good at piloting! I’ve got a charming personality! A hot partner!” He smirks at the last part, “I mean honestly, I got it all.” You shrug. “I mean, your not wrong.” you say with a smile, “but you were still jealous, so.” rocket shakes his head, crossing his arms. “Was not.” “Babe you’ve been growling at anyone that tries to talk to me, I can’t do this all day yknow?” you say, “just tell me what’s wrong?” you ask, and his ear twitches and he lets out a groan. “Fine. Yes I jealous. You happy now? I was fucking jealous because I’m worried I might lose you to some asshole because all I do is treat you like shit.” he finally admits, and you shake your head. “Rocket you’re not gonna lose me. I made a promise to always be with you, remember? I don’t break promises.” You say truthfully, “and besides, you don’t treat me like shit. Sure, most boyfriends don’t act the way you do, but we’re not exactly most couples. And that’s okay. As long as your not mistreating me, and you’re not.” you grab both of his hands. “I love you, unconditionally. And I’ll always be here.” you smile, and finally your boyfriends sighs. “Alright alright sheesh. Quit with the mopey shit.” you laugh, and simply nod.

parent! Rocket Raccoon x child! Reader headcannons
Tumblr media
Rocket's lines are in GREEN
Would never admit it to the others, or anyone else but you, but he's a real proud papa, and a total softie for you.
When he first met you, he say you were covered in bruises and your own blood, making matters worse was that you were almost still-born.
When he saw you, his parental instincts took over.
"I'm adopting that kid. And y'all ain't gonna stop me." He said as he held you in his arms.
Low key, very protective of you. He wants you to feel safe, especially considering he's a intergalactic mercenary.
When you were old enough, he started to train you to defend yourself.
Whenever either of you had a nightmare, he was right on top of it. Blanket, check. Pillow, check. Plushie, check. Him snuggled up with you, check.
One time, you two were playing hide and seek with the rest of the gang, and he was it. And when he was seeker, he was scary
When he found you and gave you a spook, you were only about 3 or 4 years old at that point, and you hadn't started training at all yet. But when he found you, his red eyes terrified you in the dark.
Would opt to be a hider with you and not a seeker.
Love bites. Would give you love bites as a sign of affection.
When it's just the two of you, he'll put your face to his neck fluff and whisper sweet nothings in your ear.
Anyone insults, hurts or abuses you? They have just signed their Death Warrant.
"(Y/N) is so friggin' ugly, I'll bet people would pay top dollar to have 'em killed." Some punk would say arrogantly.
"You've just dug your grave asshole..." He'd say in a low menacing voice.
Would probably torture the jackass for even thinking about hurting you. Like I said, overprotective dad vibes.
I'd like to think he can mutate his body at will but chooses not to.
On occasion, he'll bulk up in size, about as tall or taller than you, depending on how tall you are. He'd also be JACKED. At least I think he would be.
He'd totally let you hang from his muscled arms like a tree branch or a swing.
Overall, great dad material. 9.5/10.
