Fights usually mean Rocket is left in a mess, it’s often not due to the actions of those they’re fighting, mostly it’s down to his weapons and the debris from their blasts or just the fact that they’re so powerful they practically throw him about the place. It’d probably be wise to make them SMALLER but that would mean less power for them and he’s not the type to compromise, especially on things such as that.
This big fight had been no exception, he was left COVERED in debris but cared little about getting clean, one of his favourite guns had been damaged and the last thing he needed was the damn thing detonating inside the ship. He was sure they’d SURVIVE but that was beside the point.
Suddenly he was drawn from his work by a damp cloth gently swiped over his head, ears flattening in irritation to the unwelcome contact. He’d not expected GAMORA of all people to invade his personal space, especially while he was busy but he supposed she was trying to adjust to the whole ‘family’ thing just as much as he was. With a huff, he decided he’d let it be for the most part, causing a fight would take more energy than he had to spare.
❝– I can do that myself, y'know.❞
the fight was exhausting , all Gamora wanted now was a quick shower and then a nap in her bunk . but when she heard Drax talking that noisy and Peter listening to his MUSIC she knew she wouldn’t be able to get a nap that soon . looking around she saw all the dirt they brought into the ship , knowing it was terrible to live with three ( four if you count Groot into it ) men , she had to live with all the dirt they bring in and don’t care about .
seeing Peter walking into the bathroom she guessed he was going to have a shower . but when she saw Rocket sitting on the floor , STILL COVERED IN DIRT she sighed and grabbed a wet cloth stepping over to him to wipe off the dirt from his face . she was kinda surprised that he didn’t protested or tried to yell her off , instead she just earned a small comment
❛ I don’t doubt that , but I doubt that you’ll do that before the next morning . ❜ she told him , brushing the cloth over his face and head , carefully with his ears .
