"I am Groot." RJ heard Groot Junior asking him, as he'd just gotten home from pre-school but he wasn't feeling so good as germs had crawled into the kit's body at school feeling run down when normally he was full of energy when playing and was concerned for his best friend and brother.
"I'mjust tired GJ as pre-school wipes you out of energy, and gotta lie down." RJ replied lying down on his bed but the male-sapling was concerned sensing something was wrong hearing his brothers and sisters playing with RJ's dad deciding to let him sleep for now, and if he got worse then he'd tell Rocket placihg a barky hand on the male-kit's furry cheek feeling it was warm hearing the kit groan.
Inside of him, the germs were beginning to make RJ pretty sick as they'd climbed into the male-kit as Groot Junior heard him coughing makibg him worry.
"I am Groot." Groot Junior said softly to him.
".. Ugh-huh, I don't feel good, GJ." RJ mumbled in his sleep which made him worry feelihg the male-kit's head as it was warm making the male-sapling sighing, as he was hoping that Rocket might help RJ if he saw the male-kit not himself but snuggled beside him feeling he was hot hearing the door opening with Rocket walking in, as RJ's teacher had told him his kit hadn't been himself which bothered him, placing his paw on his boy'sfurry head feeling it was red-hot making his eyes widen.
"Ohhhhh buddy you have a bad cold, you must have gotten it, from somebody at school germs invade you at school, but resting and meds will help you fight those nasty germs my brave Guardian plus it looks like Groot Junior was looking after you." Rocket told him.
He picked him up gently tucking him into bed gently, knowing his boy needed to rest and would get him meds seeing Groot Junior go with him noticing he looked worried, knowing RJ would get better making Rocket feel better knowing this was true but he was just worried for RJ plus right now, Nebula was watching the kits includibg RJ
"Are you sure you wanna be near me, if I'm sick." RJ asked Rocket that night, as Rocket was on his bed that early-evening after putting his younger kits to bed so was reading to his eldest kit who was blowing his snoht into tissues as it hurt alomg with his throat which made Rocket feel bad, for him.
"Of course I do, daddy was worrying all day after he realised you're not feeling good and GJ was helping like he helps you, buddy." Rocket told him which made RJ weakly smile at his dad's words knowing he wouldn't be goijg to school until he felt better and would help him get back on his paws but the male-kit appreciated what his das was doijg which made Rocket relieved, hearing the kit yawning falling asleep feeling a kiss on hisfurry head making Groot Junior smile.
"Ssshhhhh RJ needs his rest to get better." Rocket replied to him.
"I am Groot." Groot Junior told him softly seeing him leave the room.
