Dynamite
Finally after a long sulking walk, Rocket arrived at her dorm.
She pressed her forehead to the door, mustering up the strength to go through with this.
With a sigh, she pushed it opened and allowed herself entrance.
At first glance the room seemed empty, but seconds later Dynamite came sliding out of the bathroom in a loose T-shirt, soccer shorts, and ankle socks.
And before she knew it, arms were thrown unceremoniously around her neck and she was being squeezed tight.
Woah...
She couldn’t remember the last time someone else then Geek hugged her.
It was honestly kinda weird. But nice. Girls hugs were softer then Geeks. And sorta infused that weird burning feeling she felt around Flame.
Seconds Later Dynamite pulled away, probably due to the fact Rocket never hugged back, as she was still in shock.
“Uh, sorry.”the brunette awkwardly apologizing, looking down and wiping her hands on her shorts.
“It’s just,” she looked up, a weird sense of desperation in her eyes, “No one could find you guys. Flame and Lorena and Iron Giantess went out, I did too when I had time. But you were just gone! We were so worried!”
Rocket was once again, stunned.
She kinda expected Atomic ant, and Flame was still surprising, but Dynamite AND Iron Giantess????
Wasn’t she supposed to be Rocket Case? What was happening???
She realized she still had a word since she entered, and Dynamite was starting to fidget under the weighted silence.
“Oh, um. I um. We didn’t know.” She trailed off after mumbling a few words.
And even that was hard.
She felt her cheeks grow warm, as she once again remembered her horrible failure earlier.
“I um, I understand if you don’t want to room with me anymore.” She mumbled purposely.
Dynamite must have been in shock, as nothing was said between then, and the time It took for Rocket to get into some PJs and slide into bed.
Right before she expected the later to go to sleep, she felt someone towering over her, and she shifted until she saw Dynamite standing beside her bed, holding a tablet.
“Um, The producers can’t stop reposting this, and put it in the description video for chase tag.” The girl awkwardly shifted from foot to foot before stiffly turning and climbing into bed, offering no more words of explanation.
Rocket was confused, eyeing the form from across the room.
After a few minutes of silence she decide she might as well play the video.
Plugging her headphones in, she pressed play on the clip, only to See Dynamites extremely big and painful looking crash after that really Bitchy girl ‘Sauny’ juked her out.
Even after watching Rocket couldn’t understand why she was showing her this,
until it hit her.
Dynamite was trying to show that she had been embarrassed in Ultimate Tag too.
She was trying to say it was ok and that other people had humiliating tags as well.
It wasn’t just Rocket.
A warm feeling filled her heart, making it beat stronger and faster, at the kindness that just had been shown.
Dynamite didn’t have to say a word to her, could have moved out, or pretended it didn’t happen. Heck she could have taunted her mercilessly!
But instead, she took the chance to embarrass herself, allowing Rocket to feel less of it.
Rocket turned her head so she could Thank Dynamite for the gesture, only to surprisingly find the girl asleep.
1. Apparently she could now sleep on COMMAND.
2. Why was it so silent.
Upon closer look she was able to see some type of bandage like thing wrapped on the bridge of her nose, that stopped her from snoring.
The blonde smiled, she did that just for tonight so Rocket could get guaranteed sleep.
How she knew that? She had actually previously recommended those before and had been rudely cut off but whatever Was closest to Dynamite.
She actually had a tiny scar from when it had been a porcelain mug.
She really DID have a short fuse.
The kindness of the situation was overwhelming as Rocket repeatedly went over everything she had done in the last hour.
She really had an awesome roommate and wasn’t finding out till now.
It was odd as well, at the beginning of school Rocket would have sworn to you up and down that her had Geek were the scapegoats of the pack, and that they would be each other’s only friends.
But here she was now, having people who cared enough to look for her, and even do something they hate just so she could sleep on a tough day.
Maybe this Whole Rocket case thing was stating to go away!
... Maybe it was all in her head?
