"I'm fine, trust me Grooty, heheI!" Rocket told the tree-like youngster, making him doubt his friends's words.
It'd been another rainy morning, so they were going outside to go to the place where the kids on Knowhere got food, including them, but on the way there, using Rocket's motor-trike which thelittle kit had invented so he could get around, he had not been himself which bothered him, despite his friends's sneezes being adorable so after returning to their fort, Groot was trying to get his friend to rest.
"I am groot, I am groot." Groot said softly.
"I get it bud-" Rocket replied sneezing, making Groot put a tiny hand on his friends's furry cheek, being careful not to give him splinters, feeling he was burning up, hearing him giggling while spinning around feeling woozy aftera while admitting that hewasfeeling odd, falling onto the big, yetsoft bed, which was so verycomforting, to him right now not wanting to get up right now which relieved Groot
He noticed his friends's nose was red, a sign of thecold, guessing all their playing in the rain, was how it happened to hiscfriend, but knew he needed help, leaving the fort so hecould get him help, unaware thatRocket's eldersiblings, Rangerand Riley were looking for him, seeing they were here on Knowhere, making him worried hopingthey didn't realise he was here, sneaking past them.
"He could be here, a place with no rules, it fits him, besides we get our freedom, when we bring him back." Riley said while Ranger waseating pellets, guessing shewas right, pointing out that if he was here, his tree friend would bewith him.
After getting the medicine that Rocket needed to feel better, Groot made sure the coast was cLear, before returning to the fort just in case and was tempted to tell Rocket, his older siblings were here looking for him, knowing his friend might not be in the mood besides, their fort waswell protected, thanks to the security defences Rocket had created, so they werr
He saw that Rocket was still a which was a good thing, like the doctor hadsaid, only the male sapling felt bad, it had been his idea, for them to play in the rain which made his friend get this nasty cold in thefirst place, resolving to help him get better so that way, he would feel better, only it sounded like inside his friend, the germs were having a party.
"I am groot, I am groot." he said softly so that his friend could hear.
"Oh, hey Groot, where'd you go?" Rocket said coughing.
Groot showed him the medicine, pointing to him, noticing mucus leaking from his nose, grabbing tissues, seeing him wiping his nose despite that it really hurt, like his throat and his belly felt like rocks, taking medicine which tasted disgusting, sticking out his tongue which made Groot giggle, getting him water, to get the taste out, making Rocket wonder, if everything was okay., unaware his siblings were trying to drag him back hone, which made his eyes widen after Groot told him.
"It don't matter Grooty, they won't find us, and leave here." Rocket assured him feeling sleepy, closing his eyes.
"Thanks buddy, you sure that soup helps, with a bad cold?" Rocket asked.
It was lunchtime, so Groot had brought him spup, as the person that ran the place where they got food from had wondered where the little tree's friend was so after Groot had toold her, she had told him, that soup helped when you got sick or had a bad cold so Groot had brought soup for Rocket, hoping it might help his best friend feel better, pouring it into a bowl"
"I am groot, i am groot." Groot said seeing Rocket drinking instead of using a spoon, making him smile, at his friends's quirkiness something he admired about his best ffiend, knowing he would get better soon, hearing him asking, if he had seen Ranger and Riley making Groot nod in reply.
"Ohhh, they were getting food at the place we get food from?" Rocket asked coughing.
"I am groot, i am groot." Groot replied softly seeing the male kit using a tissue, to clean his nose, sneezing being careful not to sneeze on Groot, he didn't want to get him sick, which relievedthe treelike youngster, knowing that Ranger and Riley would leave soon.
