"Owww…. stupid back. Good thing I take my rocket-pack off after missions now." Rocket mutteredto himself walking slowly to his room unaware that Rocke noticed he was in back-pain which had been happening recently but his rocket-pack had added to it so was lying on his big bed on his tummy hearing the door opening as Rocke entering with aromatherapy stuff making Rocket curious sensibg Rocke was using his calming energy wantibg to helo and guesses he could give it a shot, as his furry back was really hurting hoping the other Guardians hadn't noticed he'd been in back pain returning to Knowhere using his ricket-pack to return to the house.
"Rocket, I know you're big and brave but recently Papa Marshmallow and I noticed your back's hurting so I figured I could give you a back massage to help you relax." he told him. "Okay as I trust you and my back does hurt. Don't tell the other Guardians or the Dynasty." he told him genrly sitting on Rocket's big bed before starting.
"That's good you trust me Rocket and your secret's safe with me." Rocke told him making the bedroom a comforting enviromnent being gentle with his paws on Rocket's back hearing him relax which relieved him and Rocke unaware Rocket Senior was watching. He hated seeing his kit in pain knowing he was big and brave and not wanting to complain when he felt pain including his back knowing he needed pain meds going to get some to help Rocket feel better noticing Rocke's gentle massages were helping Rocket relax purring making Rocke softly chuckle as he sensed Rocket's stressed aura relaxing relieving him.
"Thanks Rocke for the gentle massages. They're helping my back feel better along with the pain meds." he told Rocke as it made the Tenuki-male grinned realising Rocket might need a recliner chair to help his back surprising Rocket Senior hearing he could build one instead of buying one seeing Rocket give him a thumbs up. "I made a hardlite body for Piper after the Secret Wars." Rocke pounted out.
"I know buddy, as you're helping a lot." he said to him.
"Groot Morning buddy, how did you sleep, how's yoyr back." Rocket heard Rocket Senior asking the next morning as he'd secretly been worried after yesterday seeing him in pain but guessed whatever Rocke had did, it had helped plus putting milk in Rocket's coffee knowing milk helped yoyr bones so knew it would help Rocket's back, relieved he wasn't wearing the rocket-pack unless it was a mission. "I feel better, thanks for asking dad." he said drinking coffee as Rocke entered, hugging Rocket gently as not to hurt his back making him chuckle.
"I'm okay but thanks for helping." he told himas they were having breakfast seeing him leaving to go to the annual Guardians team meeting, making him hope the other Guardians didn't notice he wasn't wearing his rocket-pack which was his signature look relieving the other Guardians especially Groot as he knew Rocket more than others asking if he was okay. "Yeah, buddyI feel better. Rocke helped me out with back massages and aronatherapy." he replied to him.
