This mission was supposed to be easy, Lady Hellbender wanted a sample of pollen from some plant in the middle of a backwater planet to help with the care of one of her many monsters. Job was so easy that it only needed two people to complete it , there was a vote taken leaving Rocket and You to take the mission using the pod. There was a little issue with landing. Rocket had been insistent that You used the opportunity to practice your landing skills with the pod and it didn’t go well. The communication system got messed up allowing You to leave a message for your crewmates but not send anything else back until you returned back to the pod, and the trek from the pod to where the plant was meant to be would take over a day to reach. So three days of just You and Rocket talking which wasn’t always Rocket’s strong suit so it was silent for large chunks of the mission.
“What does this plant's pheromones do anyway, Rocket?”
Rocket looked up from the plant that he was collecting samples from, the pollen glowed a glowing violet hue, and seemed to be as delicate as powdered sugar. It was your job to keep the flower petals open while Rocket got what he needed to appease Lady Hellbender for the Guardians to get their payout.
“Something with the reproductive system for one of Lady Hellbenders pets, she wants to try to bring the species back”
There was no way that you were currently helping to handle an aphrodisiac with the guy you found incredibly attractive that you had no idea how to talk to bring up that fact to him. You took a breath to calm down, you were only freaking out because you saw the sex pollen used in so many of those dirty comics and stories you preferred to masturbate to. Masturbation was only on your mind at all because you were on the week that you were ovulating which made you so horny you could hardly stand it. None of that mattered because that’s not what was going to happen, that would be crazy right?
Both of you would find out too late that Rocket had a crack in his ventilation system and was steadily breathing the pheromone in at its most potent source.
“Run”
Was the last thing Rocket had said before something about him changed, he started to become more frantic clawing at his clothing in an attempt to pull it off and You were about to ask what was wrong then you caught his eyes.
Glowing.
Feral.
Hungry.
And it wasn’t a hard leap in logic to figure out who the meal was going to be, so you ran as fast as you could towards the pod and hopefully safety till your crewmate could get his head on straight.
You ended up sliding into a cave to hide from Rocket after confirming that no other nasty beasties hid within, and even if there was hopefully fighting the creature would get Rocket to cool off a bit.
You came crashing to the ground as your suit malfunctioned, Rocket even in his frenzied state was able to manipulate the tech he had made even at a distance.
You looked up at Rocket’s whiskey eyes glowing from the mouth of the cave, sniffing at the air before settling his gaze at you and allowing a feral wanton smirk spread across his maw as he saw his prize.
As Rocket crawled towards You, you knew that you weren’t going to get any freedom from this cave anytime soon.
