Groot was surprised, seeing Rocket sleeping near him making him wonder, if he was alright guessing he had trouble sleeping and sensed something was wrong with his friend, so would let him sleep but would ask him what was wrong and what was bothering him seeing the sun rise so was going to make them breakfast, making pancakes as that might make him smile hearing him sleep-talking making the tree-like youngster curious seeing his whiskers twitching, because he could smell the pancakes relieving him, he cred about his best friend.

After a while, Rocket began to stir, rubbing sleep from his eyes with a paw, sniffing the air smirking, because it was making him forget what had made him afraid, yawning going over to the table they had, relieving Groot pouring milk into a glass seeing him drinking up belching which made them both giggle, seeing the pancakes were ready getting the condiments they needed.

"I am Groot, I am Groot?" Groot asked, making Rocket surprised.

"I don't like the dark, that's why I was sleeping near you." he admitted.

Groot understood this, feeling bad that his friend felt afraid to sleep in the dark, getting an idea to make him feel better, making Rocket curious about what his friend was up to, seeing him leaving, after tey had finished eating while Rocket was inventing security updates for the fort including listening bugs, so they could listen in to conversations.

He loved this life, which was full of mischief and adventure, which Groot understood, and helped him with his schemes, drinking juice along with trying to walk on two paws, even though Groot told him not to rush, and he liked how his friend was fast on all four paws making him smirk at that, yawning after a while guessing he could use an nap, since he hadn't gotten much sleep knowing he needed his rest, to grow of sorts.

"Just a few minutes, until Grooty gets back..." he said dozing off on the soft bed, beside his weighted plush.

When Groot returned, he thought there was an intruder in the fort, from the sounds he was hearing, about to defend the fort and his friend when he realised the sounds were Rocket sboring, relieving the tree-like youngster, because he was happy that his friend wassleeping hoping his idea would help him feel safe at night, finding Rocket's snores soothing, as he wastired from running around the planet, climbing onto the soft bed, being careful not to wake the sleeping youngster, lying near him.

"Huh, what is Groot doing sleeping here, did I make him sleepy?" Rocket asked himself sleepily.

After they were bth awake, they were having a snack of trailmix, which was helping them, only Groot heard Rocket asking where he had went, seeing a grin on Groot's face, which made Rocket curious, wondering what his friend was up to, hearing it was a surprise asking what it could be.

"I am Groot, I am Groot." Groot replied.

"Alright, I can wait until bedtime, bud." he replied.

That made Groot happy, knowing his friend would love the surprise, as it would help him sleep, knowing kids their age got like this, so he understood his furry friends's anxiety, sometimes he used his fireflies which comforted Rocket, about being afraid seeing what his friend had made impressing Rocket, as it had kept him busy, and Groot knew he got bored which then led to adventure, not minding that.

"Wow, it's so cool, and it's like the night sky is in the foft, thanks!" Rocket told Groot.

"I am Groot, I am Groot, Groot replied to hm, noticing he was calmer.

It was early morning and Rocket had kept himself awake as much as he could so he didn't have to go to bed, until Groot revealed his surprise, an nightlight that looked like the night sky, which made his friend happier, seeing him lie down on the soft yet hugeed they had found, or dragged intotheir fort, after discovering it a few months ago.

Groot smirked, using his vines, to wrap a blanket around his friend, which was adding to the cosiness of things, seeing his eyelids getting heavy, closing into sleep, which madethe tree-like youngster happy, hearing certain noises from earlier seeing a grin on his friends's facein sleep, feelimg good fallimg asleep himself.
