It was around 1:12 am, Rocket was sitting on the bed in his room unable to sleep. He had a couple of drinks earlier to try to help him relax but it didn't do much. It helped somewhat but he was still unable to go to sleep. Lately, Rocket's been having something on his mind and it's been eating away at him for a while now. You and Rocket have been together for about a year and a half and still going steady. Of course, he was happy being with you and he felt lucky to have you as his girl. However deep down he couldn't help but wonder how long the relationship would last. Rocket loved you very much and he wanted you to be happy but how happy were you with him? After what seemed like a long time he couldn't take it anymore, he needed to talk to you and put his mind at ease. Rocket hopped off the bed, headed out of his room, and went to your own. He quietly opened the door and saw you sleeping peacefully. There was a moment of hesitation before he started walking toward you.

When Rocket was at the side of your bed and tapped your shoulder a couple of times. "______ wake up," he whispered.

You stirred awake and propped yourself up on your forearms. "Rocket?" You yawned, "What is it?"

"Can I to ask you something."

"What?"

He paused for a second, "Are you...happy with me?"

The question caught you off guard. It was pretty rare to see him this serious and it made you concerned. There was a faint smell of alcohol from his breath stating that he had been drinking and you knew how emotional he got when he was drunk. You were wide awake at this point and sat up on your bed to face him.

"Rocket of course I am. Why?"

Rocket lightly scratched the back of his hand. "No reason, I was just wondering that's all."

"Tell me what's this really about?"

Rocket didn't reply.

"Rocket please."

"You know how we've been together for over a year now?"

You nodded, "Yeah."

"I couldn't help but think, how long will we even be together?" Rocket exhaled and lowered his eyes, "I don't know..."

"What do you mean?"

Rocket looked up and paused for a moment, "Sometimes I-I can't help but wonder why you're still with me anyway? We can't get married, we can't even have kids. I was created in a lab, torn apart, put back together so many times, and made into...this. Meanwhile you could have any friggin guy you want and you chose me. I don't understand, I mean... How can someone like you possibly love something like me?" His ears drooped as he stared at you as he waited for a response.

The room fell silent, you saw the desperation in his eyes as they met your own. Seeing him like this broke your heart, you just wanted to hold him and make it all better in any way you could. It took you a moment to figure out he was having a moment of insecurity, you were aware of his earlier life when he was experimented on and you honestly couldn't blame him for feeling this way. You knew he was impulsive, short tempered, and cynical...but you loved him anyway.

You reached out and gently held his face in your hands, "Because I'm happy being with you that's why. I'm aware we can't do all those things and I'm fine with that. You drive me crazy sometimes but I wouldn't change that or you for anything. I love you Rocket, no matter what."

You saw tears forming in the corners his deep brown eyes, you took this moment to wipe away his tears, you wrapped your arms around his small frame, brought him onto your lap, and held him close to your chest. His chin rested on your shoulder and he hugged you back. Rocket started to nuzzle your neck as he softly inhaled your scent. You felt him give little licks up the side of your neck making you blush. He pulled away and looked up toward you. You cupped his face and brought him in for a kiss. When you started to pull away Rocket immediately grabbed your face and kissed you only this time making it a bit deeper and longer than the previous one. Your eyes fluttered closed as you kissed him back and placed your hands behind his back. You knew he doesn't usually say the phrase 'I love you' very often but this was his way of showing how much he loved you and you didn't mind at all. After about a minute or so, you two slowly parted facing each other still inches apart.

"Feeling better?" You asked in a soft voice.

"Yeah, thanks babe." He slid off your lap, "I really needed to hear that from you."

"Anytime Rocket."

"One more thing, mind if I slept here tonight?"

You smiled, "Alright, come here."

You moved over to make room while Rocket climbed in next to you and laid down. While you pulled the blanket over the both of you, he snuggled closer to you and you wrapped an arm around him.

"Good night Rocket."

"Night ______."

After a few minutes of silence Rocket softly asked, "Hey what did you mean by I drive you crazy?"

"Rocket go to sleep."
