As they lay in bed cuddling, Shuri couldn't help but feel relieved knowing that Rocket Raccoon approved of their relationship. She had grown to care for Jake deeply, and the thought of his family not accepting her was weighing heavily on her mind.
"Thank you for saying that, Jake," she said softly. "I really like you, and I was starting to worry that your family wouldn't approve of me."
Jake smiled and kissed her forehead. "My family loves you, Shuri. And I love you too."
With those words, Shuri felt a wave of relief wash over her. She knew that their relationship wouldn't be without its challenges, but knowing that Jake and his family were on her side made everything feel a little easier.
"Let's just stay like this for a little while," she said, snuggling closer to Jake's warm body.
Jake wrapped his arms around her, and they lay there in comfortable silence, enjoying each other's company. From that moment on, Shuri knew that no matter what obstacles they may face, they could overcome them together.
