#flerken

Oh to be a cute, little, alien cat monster riding on Captain Marvel's shoulder as she flies.

random cute thought. What if, mabey sometime before rocket meets groot and he has his own (stolen) ship, he gets a flerken stowaway. At first rocket does everything in his power to shake it, tries to leave it behind on diffrent planets he stops at but the flerken somehow finds its way back on the ship before takeoff everytime. This continues like routine for CYCLES until one day the flerkin returns to the ship battered like it got into a fight and rocket "begrudgingly" tends to its wounds. Or he notices the flerking isnt back yet when it usually is and rocket "begrudgingly" goes to look for it incase it got into trouble (like jolie in windows did). Afterwards, he still acts as if the flerken is still just an annoying stowaway he can't stand but everyone else can tell that they have a bond. I can imagine the flerking perched on his shoulders or sleeping curled up on rockets lap while he pretends the flerken isn't there but petting it when no one's looking. 🥹
