"Rocket honey you feeling okay. You're acting off but the kits are feeling better thanks to us taking care of them especially you." Rocket heard Nebula ask him. It was a few weeks after coming back from a mission plus his and Nebula's kits had the flu so had been taking care of them only their germs had taken up residence in Rocket's body but he was trying ti be strong only Nebula could sense something was off.. She alsi knew he didn't like admitting when he was sick or hurt until it got bad and then he admitted he needed help pkus she'd been hearing him sneezing, coughing and feeling terrible.
"Awwww here honey, we've scented tissues to help with the germs as mucus is leaking from your furry lil nose and you're making sweet snuffling sounds." she told him putting a hand on his furry cheek seeing he was flushed but coughing making Nebula frowning. "Oh honey I think you caught germs from the kits. Go lie down as you need rest." she told him carrying him to their room tucking him into his side of their bed. She would be back to check on him in a bit but being strong for the both of them, plus the kits would be worried, when they came home from school.
She knew that colds and flus were okay with her, but they were rougher on Rocket which always made her worried seeing Rocke making tea knowing that might help Rocket's throat plus he felt her squeeze his paw gently making him delighted wondering what this delightful interaction was for surprised that Rocket was sick so was making him tea with honey to help his throat knowing Rocket would be under the weather pretty badly humming Let It Be which was soothing Nebula which surprised the male tenuki, as normall she'd be annoyed by his renditions of Beatles songs, today was a different story.
"That's kinda relaxing Rocke, it's the Beatles right." she said seeing him nodding.
"Yep ohhhh look Rocket toddled out of bed." he told her. "Rocket you should be resting, you're not feeling good plus Rocke made you tea to help your throat." Nebula told him feeling he was burning up meaning a fever was beginning hearing him giggling which was adorable but weird seeing hin on all fours making Rocke chuckle but Nebula was worried knowing the germs were havibg quite the party in her furboy's body sensing a calming but familar aura, Lylla making Rocke curious about how Rocket was calming down seeing Nebula smile in relief making Rocke curious about why she was feeling calmer now.
"..,, Uuhhh, everything hurts, my nose, my throat, my body, my head's stuffed up, but how did I get back into bed, plus… how did Lylla show up. Maybe it was the fever…" Rocket mumbled softly awakening to find himself in his and Nebula's bed hearing the door softly open as Nebula walked in relieved he was awake plus had brought him juice to drink hearing him ask what tine it was hearing it was late afternoon which made Rocket want to get out of bed and make sure the kits were okay only he felt dizzy because of the flu. "They're okay and Rocke and me explained what was happening. They felt bad they shared their germs with you but we explained that those things happen." she reassured him.
"Don't worry, Nebby went to get meds for helping your body fight those nasty germs that're making you sick plus your kits are worried about you." Rocke said softly to him He was holding down the fort whilevNebula had left to get meds to help Rocket fight those germs that were making him sick like when the kits had gotten sick with the same flu so had made him a pot of tea to help his throat but leaving him be to rest. "Wow, things are quiet and no shenigans ensued leaving you to hold down the fort, plus Herbert gave me a flu shot." he heard Nebula tell Rocke.
"Good for you, as we care aboutRocket." Rocke told her drinking tea and saw Nebula entering her and Rocket's room seeing Rocket begin to stir slowly opening his mouth to take the meds. "Atta boy, you'll be back on your paws soon." she reassured him.
