"Rocke what's this, Mochi. Did you go to the grocery store that has things everybody can eat, or the Rocke grocery store where it's Japanese stuff." Rocket asked going through the groceries which Rocke had brought home making Rocke blush at his question. "No, I went to both so we can have the groceries we want Rocket-chan since I know you're a picky eater." he told him adjusting his shades on his snout. It was a few months since he'd moved to New Raccoon City with Rocket after the battle with The Maker and Shocket being in the hospital, Rockethad moved into an apartment with his dad and he'd brought Rocke with hij knowing he would get lonely if he hadn't. "Good boy for thinking of that. You're the only one who eats sushi and mochi here." Rocket said patting his head making Rocke happy about this as he wanted to help Rocket and Rocket Senior sharing an apartment.
"You're welcome as I like it here and maybe there's a Piper in this universe." Rocke mused to himself making Rocket frowning hoping there wasn't a John Lennon that was alive or he'd lose his Rocke which he feared besides losing loved ones and he'd been worried hearing Shocket was in the hospital so Rocke had taught him calming mechanisms and meditation along with finding his happy place along with snuggling to ease his anxiety and shared his special cookie-dough with him which had worried Rocket Senior when that had happened and had explained to them to be careful with it which Rocke promised they would.
"Papa Marshmallow's probably out with Logan on some adventure or mission. Itsy and Shocket are probably doijg family stuff with the kits." Rocke mumbled yawning heading to his room makingRocket sighing seeing the door close as he sat on the couch After a bit Rocket Senior returned with takeout for dinner asking how things were.
"Okay pops, Rocke's in his room by the way. He got groceries too." Rocket repliedto him. In Rocke's mind in Headquarters, his emotions or emoticoobs were helping him but his Sadness was using the console which was why Rocke was feeling blue but Joy was boosting Rocke's happiness by playing happy memories hearing the crying turn to sniffles and deep-breaths hearing the doir relieved Rocket as he'd been concerned about him. He guessed Rocke just wanted sone alone-time which was alright as everybody needed that sometimes.
"Hey Rocke my pops bought takeout for dinner. You okay as you seemed sad." Rocket told him.
"Sure I'm coming and hungry but just felt a lil blue but feeling better now." he told him. He followed him into the kitchen sitting at the table enjoying the food but also hanging out with Rocket which made him feel better and not so lonely feeling Rocket squeeze his paw. "Sorry I worried you but was not wanting to bother you or in your fur." Rocke told him.
"It's okay but you're never in my fur buddy." he told him making Rocke blush again makihg Rocket chuckle at this because it was sweet but staying up late and snuggling on the couch listening to music on headphones which was relaxing them besides talking about things making them chuckle.
The next morning, Rocket Senior returned from doing a mission with Logan realising things were quiet noticihg a fort in the living-room guessing Rocke and Rocket had made it smirking guessing they'd had fun or Rocke had been lonely so lect them be heading to the kitchen making himself coffee before heading to bed. Later that morning, Rocket had put the fort away he and Rocke had made seeing Rocke grin as they were sitting at the table as Rocket Senior walked in seeing they were up.
"We were bored and left to ohr own devices, pops, you were on a mission right, with Logan." Rocket said to him seeing Rocket Senior nod.
