"Owww, why does my head hurt…" RJ whimpered as he began to stir a few days later, feeling not so good not remembering he'd went wild on coffee, or wrecked Knowherebucks seeing Groot Junior hug him noticing the bandage on his hand wondering how that had happened, seeing the male-sapling pointvat hij confusing him seeing Rocket enter, relieved he was awake, hugging him gently.
"So glad you're awake and you forgot what happened the other day eh." he told the male-kit confusing him until his dad explained feeling bad and sick, puking so were heading to the bathroom to get cleaned up seeing Mac and Cheese two of RJ's sibs run out of there, making Rocket chuckle guessing they'd been playing hide and seek running a bath for RJ seeing him relaxing feeling bad.
"Don't look at me, i'm a mess." he cried making Rocket feel bad for him knowing nobody was perfect not even him which he was explaining but washing his fur hair.
"You're not, you just made a mistake plus GJ helped fix it by growing coffee beans on himself but it's why little kits can't have coffee as it turns them into coffee monsters." he told him rinsing him but drying him off putting him in pyjamas feeling him hug his leg, which he got knowing he was coming down from the coffee high which was understandable
"RJ better, play." Nebs said tugging on the male-kit's pyjama leg.
"Not yet honey, but it's almost your naptime." Rocket told her seeing her toddle off to join her brothers and sisters seeing Groot Junior playing with them, making Rocket grin at this because it was sweet putting the younger kits down for their nap telling them a story then kissing their lil heads seeing them out like lights leaving their room closing the door.
"Feeling peckish, buddy after you know." he asked RJ seeing him nodding as they were havihg lunch but knew tomorrow was the kit's first day of school ever so at least he was clean for it, plus was helping him pack his Go-Bots backpack for tomorrow which he appreciated, thanking him seeing Groot Junior curious, wondering where RJ was going making Rocket and RJ exchange a look.
"Ohhhh I'm not moving out, but starting school in the morning, daddy forgot to tell you plus my sibs start daycare in a few weeks which my daddy is nervous about." RJ explained to him.
"I am Groot." Groot Junior told him seeing RJ tap his furry lil chin in thought.
"He wants to gomto school, is that okay." he told Rocket.
"I guess it's okay, but be careful." Rocket told him.
"Ohhh yeah." RJ replied as they paw-bumped making Rocket chuckle feeling the younger kits biting his furry toes astounded as RJ was surprised his sibs still did that, as he'd stopped doing that a long tine ago hearing his dad whimper but was getting them off and putting them in time out then putting band-aids on his toes, sighing knowing he had to curb this, before they started daycare in case they did this, to other kits.
"Are you alright, daddy." RJ asked him.
"Yes my toes hurt but I should curb this before they start daycare." Rocket told him, as he heard Groot Junior whimpering and crying seeing one of the kits had bitten his toes hard, running to him, scooping him up gently getting bandages putting the kit in time out with her sibs, but RJ was calming the male-sapling down, getting a popsicke for him.
"I am Groot." Groot Junior said calming down and eating while Rocket was tending to the injury, shaking his furry head needing to curb the kits on the biting thing as he didn't want to get calls from the daycare teacher sighing.
"Did I do what they did when I was that little." RJ asked his dad
"Yes you did, but you grew out of it and they will too, I hope." Rocket told him.
It was bedtime and Rocket was tucking RJ into bed as he had his first day of school in the morning, needing to be bright eyed and bushy tailed making the male-kit yawn, as Rocket kissed him and Groot Junior goodnight putting the nightlight on before leaving the room, making himself coffee in the kitchen because he'd put the kits to bed knowing tomorrow was a big day for RJ getting texts from Nebula asking, if he was okay, replying to them.
After drinking coffee, he went upstairs to his room, tucking himself into bed needing rest for the next day so he could help RJ with his first day of school despite Groot Junior going with him.
