Rocket Raccoon x baby!raccoon reader

______________________________________________________________________________

It all began on Earth out in the middle of a forest. Appearing over a huge boulder was a raccoon with something in its mouth. It set it down for a brief moment when barking suddenly echoed through the forest. The raccoon picked up the small ball in its mouth and took off running as fast as it could go with the barking getting closer.

It jumped over logs, ran through a patch of tall grass, jumped over small cliff sides until it reached a meadow with the dogs barking getting closer and closer by the minute.

Groot was walking along when he suddenly heard the sound of the dogs barking and he stopped and hid behind another tree trying to blend in when he saw the raccoon pass by him. It turned its head in alert before setting down the ball down in a patch of grass big enough to hide it. It licked and nuzzled the ball when the barking resumed which made the raccoon back up and run further into the meadow. As it ran over a hill and disappeared,

BANG!

A gunshot was heard.

Groot's face turned to pure shock as another gunshot was heard and quail flew from the meadow patched grass and flew away. The sound of the dogs barking grew faint and Groot turned to the patch of grass and walked up towards it and knelt down.

He gently removed some of the patch away and the ball was revealed to be a baby raccoon. It looked only about a couple weeks old. When it saw Groot, it hide behind the tree the grass patch was by and peeked out cautiously and frightenedly with its ears bent back and eyes filled with sadness.

"I am Groot". He said as he slowly raised it hand out towards it. The baby raccoon looked at Groot then down at his hand. It shyly stepped out and sniffed Groot's hand and when it saw him as no threat, it tried to climb into his palm.

Groot smiled softly and picked up the baby raccoon and grew out a leafy blanket to cover up the baby and he walked back to where his friends were, hopefully they would allow him to keep the baby seeing as it had no one else.

When Groot reached his campsite he saw Peter and Drax sitting by the campfire talking while Gamora and Rocket were checking out the Milano for repairs. When Peter spotted him he said.

"Hey Groot been wondering where you've been?"

"I am Groot". He then lowered the blanket to reveal the baby raccoon to his friends.

"Did Rocket procreate while we were here without telling us?" asked Drax.

"What did you just say Drax!?" Rocket snapped as he came up to him and saw what Groot was carrying in his arms. "What the flarg is that thing?!" He exclaimed in disgust.

"That is a raccoon. You see Rocket, I told you. This is what you look like, you wanted to know what a raccoon looks like, well now you know" Peter said.

"Where did you find this creature Groot?" Gamora asked as she reached out and stroked its head which made it softly chirp.

"I am Groot" Groot stated solemnly.

"Oh man, poor little guy" said Peter. "I may have poked fun as some birds and other rodents before Yondu abducted me but I'd never hunt and kill them especially if that animal is a mother and has a baby, that's why I never finished watching Bambi".

"Where is this Bambi? I shall destroy whoever killed this Bambi" Drax stated.

"No you can't it was a movie and—oh why am I even explaining this you won't get it".

"Well I don't want no scruffy looking, mangy fleabag on board my ship, we got Quill for that" said Rocket.

"Hey you're the one to talk! And besides how can you resist this little face?" Peter cooed the last part as he took the bay raccoon from Groot and held it right in front of Rocket.

The baby looked curious at Rocket before it reached out its tiny paws to his muzzle and managed to place its nose against Rocket's nose.

"Aww, now ain't that the cutest thing you ever saw?" Peter cooed out.

"Alright fine the little fleabag can stay! But it better not touch any of my stuff!" Rocket exclaimed as he trudged away but when he was far away enough, he touched his muzzle still feeling the little one's paws on his face.

Once the repairs were done and they were on their merry way to do some good, some bad and a bit of both. The baby raccoon sniffed around its new home when it came upon some of Rocket's things.

It raised itself onto its hind legs over the box to see an incomplete bomb and managed to pull itself on top of the box and reached out for the bomb and began to fiddle with it. It chewed on the silver casing thinking it was edible but it squeaked in disgust at the bitter silver taste. It then noticed a strange wire sticking out inside it, it used its smaller nimble fingers to bend the wire down and connect into a circuit hole.

"What the hell are you doing!?" Rocket's voice proclaimed angrily. "That is mine! Now I don't know what kind of life you had before but now you live under my roof and this. All of this. Is. Mine! And I don't want your grabby little—" He then took notice of the stray wire that had been giving him a hard time completing the bomb was gone.

He got on his magnifying glasses and took notice that the wire had been put into a circuit-hole which had turned on the basic lighting of the bomb. He took off his glasses and looked at the little raccoon who was now lying on its back being all cute looking up at Rocket.

"Huh, you know you're pretty smart for a lower life form of Terran. But how about next time I be here when you touch my stuff. If I had this bomb truly activated, you turning in that wire could've blown you to bits and we can't have that, can we?" The baby raccoon only chirped again up at Rocket and reached out again towards his muzzle. Rocket chuckled and said, "You know maybe you could grow up and be useful to us one day. Till then I'll teach you everything I know, besides ain't no thing like us, except us right?"

Rocket then touched his nose against the baby raccoon's and nuzzled it lovingly, almost fatherly. It felt like Rocket had a new purpose and he was gonna try his best to not screw it up for this little one, and he was ESPECIALLY gonna make sure Quill didn't find out about this and blackmail him for going soft.
