"Oh boy, somebody's exhausted and had a long day." Ranger said.
It was early-evening and Lylla was noticing Rocket known to the outside world as Rock-E wearily stumbled into their mansion-home falling onto the couch which made his siblings worried for him knowing he worked so hard to make everybody so happy, he sometimes forgot to be kind to himself seeing Lylla come over to the couch seeing the male raccoon exhausted which bothered her hearing he was vocally tired too.
"Ssh, no talking as you've been singing along wit talking all day, besides here you're Rocket not Rock-E we should get you tea with honey to gphelp your throat, you know?" Riley said softly knowing their brother's cellphone ringing, seeing him tiredly reach out for it, bothering Lylla because he needed his rest, making up her mind.
She took the phone turning it off stunning Rocket impressing Ranger and Riley at her doing that, knowing how much she cared about their brother, hearing him yawning guessing he needed to sleep seeing Riley bringijg him tea with honey for his furry throat seeing him drinking, which was helping him relax.
"Arigatou everybody, I feel so drained having to fake being social as Rock-E while myself isn't very social and anxious." he said softly which Lylla understood, removing his shades because she felt he couldn't sleep comfortably with them on, seeing big brown eyes that looked exhausted, his eyelids getting heavy hoping his manager , bandmates or Howard would get upset, because he had turned off his phone.
"You make everybody so happy, but now you have to make yourself happy and to be kijd to you." Lylla said.
"I guess Lyllie, I am exhausted, resting would be good, you know but what about dinner, Casey and Shocket?" he said softly.
"Don't worry about that bro, we'll figure it out, just relax." Ranger replied seeing Rocket asleep, resting on Lylla, impressing them knowing he trusted her wholeheartdely, guessing they could reveal some things which they dudn't to just anybody about their brother.
"What people see of him, Nrave, takijg selfies with fans, that's not him, he's anxious with Aspergers, it's why he wears shades over his eyes so nobody can see that, you're good for him, Lyllie." Riley said to her, careful not to wake Rocket.
Lylla understood as she knew her nakama was exhausted, which they would work on, seeing Ranger there saying Shocket was in the pool but Casey was in her room, relieving them because right now, Rocket was not in the mood for shenigans, but wanted to help him stand up for himself especially to his band manager.
"He's just too shy to say that, wait he's sleep-talkijg probably about the other him that lives on another Earth." Ranger said which made Lylla curious about what he meant listenijg to what her friend was saying in his sleep, and would ask him when he awoke seeing Ranger and Riley agree ordering takeout seeing Shocket, smirking because the female-kit was becoming a sumo-wrestler, which Rocket was okay with.
"Daddy overworked again, didn't he?" she said seeing Lylla nod.
"Hai he just fell asleep, but we ordered dinner." Riley said.
Lylla was sketching the things that Rocket otherwise known to the planet as the J-pop sensation, Rock-E saw and talked about in dreamings so they could mke sense of it showing him when she was done impressing him unaware Ranger was peekijg over her furry shoulder noticing an armoured raccoon male which looked like his brother with his own Groot plus the female otter had now moved into the mansion, which made Lylla happy.
"Wow, your art is amazing, yes this is where I go when I sleep, pretty weird?" Rocket told her.
"No it's not, it's cool, you're still pretty sleepy you know?" she replied seeing him nodding.
She saw Ranger watchijg the news, getting annoyed because of the reporter that was trying to dig into his brother's personal life which made him and Riley's blood boil, which Lylla understood, she hated that reporters were trying to butt into her boy's life makijg them agree hearing Rocket yawnijg as it was late and he had taken a soak in his jacuzzi which was off-linits to Casey and Shocket feelijg more relaxed, joinijg Lylla on the couch wearing pyjamas, drinkijg hot cocoa zoning out.
"We'll help him out, he needs a break." Riley said as they saw their brother goijg to his room, so he could rest deciding he needed a day or two off from making the world happly, which Lylla agreed with goijg to check on him noticing his room was huge and lonely with the bed being godzilla sized, seeing Rocket lyijg on his side, realising she still had his shades putting them on his bedside table noticing an anxious aura, asking what was bothering him, was it that reporter)
"I'm scared that vulture might dig stuff up, then the brand gets damaged and we're on the streets, moreso me." he said
"Whoa, whoa first off that's not goijg to happen, okus Ranger and Riley will take care of it did you have coffee?" she reassured him while on his huge bed knowing there was something he needed, a hug doing that feeling he was a little shaky so was whispering encouraging things like ASMR which was working, guessuhg he did not sleep great, gettihg an idea from when she had been little and couldn't sleep, which he liked.
"My adoptive mom used to sijg to me, when I got scared or anxious, Ranger and Riley helped find her, since we came from space, that's somethijg I've never told anybody here,mHowards's from space too." he admitted makijg Lylla realise maybe that was why he dreamt about space making a grin cross her furry face, promising to keep that secret.
"Is that what you're afraid that reporter might learn?" she asked.
"Hai, imagine the planet's reactions finding that out." he replied.
"That won't happen, trust me." she told him yawning.
