Rocket had been counting the days since he found out Fox's birthday was coming up. While he had never celebrated his own birthday, he had familiarity with the whole celebration and how important it was. (Problem with his birthday was he didn't know what day it was.)
He slipped out of bedroom, stealthy as he could before Fox would notice a drop in body heat from the bed, and padded off to the kitchen to go whip up something for breakfast to the day started. He was no whiz in the kitchen but he could make a basic meal and knew how seasoning worked. He worked quietly and quickly making Fox one of the fanciest breakfast things Quill had taught him to make: an omelet, and of course a good cup of coffee for both of them, and set the table up with all the works, napkins, forks, everything needed for a very practical breakfast.
Surprised that Fox hadn't woken up from the sound of him clinking around the kitchen, Rocket went back to the bedroom to wake him up, giving him a purposeful nudge.
"Hey birthday boy," he murmured in an almost sing-song teasing tone. "Get up, breakfast is ready."
Fox stirred, groaning softly as he felt the gentle nudge. His ears twitched, picking up Rocket's teasing tone, and a sleepy smile spread across his face. He stretched, yawning as he heard the voice of his adoring raccoon. "Mmm, morning, Rocket," Fox mumbled, his voice still thick with sleep. "Birthday, huh? You remembered?" He followed with a light chuckle.
He sat up slowly, rubbing the sleep from his eyes, and swung his legs over the side of the bed. The smell of the food wafting in from the kitchen finally hit him. "Breakfast, huh?" he whispered, leaning in to plant a gentle kiss upon his lover's furry cheek. "I'm excited to see what you made."
Before he stood up, he gently ruffled the top of Rocket's head-fur, scratching behind one of his ears lovingly. He was very thankful for the simple things.
As Fox sluggishly made his way towards the kitchen, dressed only in his boxer-briefs, he was still trying to wake himself up. He scratched the back of his head, yawning once again. When he stood in the doorway, he saw a perfectly set table with a steaming cup of coffee and a beautifully made omelet. He loved how Rocket's little details were evident in everything.
"Rocket," Fox said softly, a thoughtful tone in his voice as a smile spread across his lips as his tail swayed elegantly.
He took a seat at the table, observing the spread in front of him. "You really went all out. And coffee, too. You know the way to my heart," Fox said, smiling with joy as he looked at Rocket, his eyes filled with affection.
🥰 (Rocket has a crush)
Fox flashed the Procyon a smirk as he noticed Rocket stealing glances in his direction, a playful glint in his jade-colored gaze. "You know, if you keep looking at me like that, you might make me blush," Fox teased, his voice laced with amusement.
He couldn't deny the warmth that spread through him at the thought of Rocket having a crush on him. And truth be told, Fox felt the same way about Rocket. "You've got the most handsome smile, you know that?" He added, his own smile widening as he spoke. Of course, he thought everything about Rocket was perfect in his eyes, even though he knew Rocket wasn't too keen on the word.
From the confines of his own quarters of the new ship, Rocket made a blind call to Fox on his holoscreen. He missed him, even if it hadn't even been that long since they left Xandar. It felt like they left with nothing but half baked promises and no real plans to look forward to. He wasn't sure if Fox would answer since he didn't schedule the call so he wouldn't have been upset if the vulpine missed his call. He wasn't even even sure what the time was for corneria or where he was at the moment. To his surprise. He saw Fox video feed open. He couldn't tell where he was but as he sat at his small desk, he grinned. It was his first time making a social call to anyone. "Groot says he misses you. Got any deliveries to Xandar coming up? Or are we still awaiting dispatch?"
Rocket was blaming him missing Fox on Groot because he felt stupid for missing him after such a short time but he couldn't help that. It was a harmless bending of truth but he didn't want to sound clingy or uncool, or even insecure.
In the confined corners of The Great Fox, Fox McCloud’s holo image flickered to life on the others end. The ambiance of the room was merely quiet, nothing but the faint hum of the ships engine. Fox so happened to be seated in an undisclosed location on the ship, greeting Rocket with a warm smile, “Rocket,” He said. He couldn’t help but chuckle at Rocket’s response. He knew deep down the Procyon missed him. “Oh yeah? You sure it isn’t you?” Fox said, giving the raccoon a cocky grin. “-Tell Groot I miss him too… As for deliveries… Still awaiting dispatch from Pepper.” As Fox ended his sentence, he leaned upwards a bit, his green eyes practically omitting a reflection of the screen in front of him.
“Good news is, I’ll be on Corneria sometime tomorrow. I am sure I can make some arrangements to meet with the General, find out when the next delivery run will be?” Fox too, missed Rocket greatly. Deep down, he was happy to hear the other’s voice and see his face, even if it was through a screen. “How is Peter and the rest of your crew? They holding up well on the new ship?”

Fox McCloud x Rocket Raccoon Send me ships!
Who would be the big spoon? They switch because it depends on the mood of things. Rocket will often lay either across Fox or use his chest as a pillow too. There's no consistency here.
Who would wake up first? Rocket, usually. He's a light sleeper and he doesn't tend to sleep very long even on a good night, but there are times Fox somehow beats him to it.
Do they have nicknames for each other? Rocket tends to call him 'Foxxy', or 'Pretty Boy', 'Gorgeous,' and pretty much any ship with Rocket is subjected to getting called 'Baby' on occasion. As for Fox's nicknames for Rocket, he seems to give Rocket more the general pet-name treatment. (I tend to know Rocket's side a bit better)
What happened when they met each other’s parents? This won't happen but Rocket listens as Fox tells him anything about his family with fascination. He did tell Fox early on he didn't know his parents and was pretty sure they were dead. Rocket also won't talk about his creators much at all.
How do they apologize after an argument? Arguing with Rocket takes fineness, he's stubborn and has some trouble admitting fault even though he can do it if he really is obviously the one in the wrong. Rocket doesn't want to drag things out though, so it's just a matter of getting started. Even if it seems like he's just being an ass (and maybe he is) he may also just be brooding on how to open the conversation without sounding stupid. If Fox apologized first, he'd feel much easier about apologizing in return and admitting he was stupid about whatever caused the argument.
What would they be like as parents? Rocket already has Groot to raise, and he's very stereotypical in the dad role. Fox does get to play as a parental figure to Groot and honestly I think Groot sees him as more motherly. Probably cuts the crusts off his bread and would pack him a snack before he runs off to go get himself into trouble.
Who is the better cook? Fox, Rocket doesn't spend much time doing anything in the kitchen outside of grabbing quick meals or drinks UNLESS he's doing something special. Fox seems to know at least the basics of culinary.
Who is more romantic? Fox is more traditionally romantic but Rocket will try his best to make sure he's showing affection in his own way. He can be very sweet when he wants to be.
What sort of gifts do they get for each other? Rocket is the type to grab something for Fox on a far off planet, they'll probably be snacks or little trinkets that are ultimately useless as a small token to let Fox know he's always on Rocket's mind. Fox probably gets Rocket more practical things for Rocket to use that are from Corneria designed for furry-bodied people like themselves, or just things he knows Rocket's gonna love.
Who gets jealous easiest? Jealousy is rooted in insecurity and unfortunately that's where Rocket resides. He's a bit territorial. (Okay... very territorial.)
Who gets more excited for events e.g.. Birthdays, Christmas? I'd earnestly say neither of them are too big on that, but between them, Rocket is a bit more festive. I think when he gets to share what this Christmas thing is about he's gonna be pretty dorky telling him about it. Just remember the song 'I Don't Know What Christmas Is' is from the description from Rocket's interpretation, so it probably will not very traditional.
Who is the most adventurous? Rocket can be adventurous when he wants something but this one goes to Fox. Rocket often needs to be coaxed to go do something dangerous.
Who is the most protective? I'll go with Rocket for this, as he's more paranoid about losing people now. I think they'd both be protective though.
What would they have been like as childhood sweethearts? I see Rocket as the type to try and lure Fox into trouble, doing dumb kid stuff like making bottle rockets and sneaking into the movies without paying.
