Groot, you should really watch your language. I think I heard Rocket wanting to wash your mouth out with soap the other day — and trust me, soap doesn't taste nice. It doesn't matter where you buy it, what it smells like, or how expensive it is. It all tastes like crap.

[ he pokes his tongue out and mouths yuck. peter thinks he got most of what groot's saying. at first, it'd been difficult to understand him, but once he got to know groot and he listened, he was able to hear him. when they first met he was definitely able to see him, but everything else? he didn't really appreciate him for his innocent, tree-like ways until he was stuck with him as a friend. ]

[ his face scrunches up in offense. ] Hell no! Why did you even — What would make you think that!? Gamora doesn't dance! People who don't dance don't have good taste in music, Groot. Learn that. If people don't know how to do the basics of Michael Jackson's "Thriller" or Tina Turner's "Nutbush" then they are not people worth respecting!

[oakay]

[THAT ASSHOLE ISN'T GOING TO MAKE ME EAT SOAP! YOU CAN'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO.]

I am GROOT!

[He's working on the language but... look, he has been raised by bad influences here. He is from a broken home, he has no idea who his real dad is and instead, he has two assholes for dads. Who tell him one thing and then forget later. If you don't like him swearing, stop swearing around him!

Set better boundaries.

Groot looks at Peter, cocks his head to the side and asks a question that could very well get his disowned from being Peter's wristwatch:] I am Groot? [Thriller?]

[astrological]

Look, man, you just have to do the opposite of what we do. Don't say asshole, it's a bad word. [ there's a pause as he frowns. ] But then if you do the opposite of what we do, does that mean you're going to go left when we go right? [ peter squints, tilting his head to the side in thought. ] You know what? Don't do that. That was a bad suggestion.

[ being a role model is hard work, you know? he has to watch what he says and he has to make sure his pr is on point all the time. sometimes he asks himself what yondu would do with groot, and then he realises he'd probably sell him. the only person he can depend on to give him parental guidance is mom, and he's not so sure what she'd do if she saw a talking tree. (he does; she'd love the fuck out of little groot, make sure he eats all his vegetables, goes to bed at a reasonable hour, reads books and listens to all the music she loves.) ]

[ looking down at groot, he smiles. ] I'll show you "Thriller". I'll even get you a little jacket so you can be a tree-MJ. You're going to love it! It's one of the best dances of all time, and you'd actually make a cool looking zombie. I think you've got the rhythm for it. Not many people can pull of Michael Jackson, but I've got faith in you, Groot.

[oakay]

I am Groot! [He will always go right, friend. Always. Even when you go left, he will be going the other way to be a good Groot. That is what he has chosen to take away from this because otherwise, he's agreeing to not say asshole and it's hard not to say asshole when you hang out with a bunch of a-holes. Groot can pretend to humour Peter but he's not going to give up his beloved word. He likes that word. Almost as much as fuck.

But that one often gets his candy taken away so he cleans up his language a little more these days - he is a good tree.]

I am Groot! [He knows who MJ is, he's heard him sing before and he is EXCITED okay? he wants to hear more and dance and be a zombie. Not a real zombie but a fake one. Real zombies are scary.] I am Groot.

[astrological]

No, dude, no — you follow! Unless we tell you not to follow, then you don't follow, you got that? [ oh my god, you're going to give him a heart attack. this is going to be the whole detonator button all over again, isn't it? is he going to have to strap groot to him so he never actually goes right when they go left? ]

I know, man. They're pertifying! I remember when I watched this zombie movie and then I couldn't sleep for a week … [ peter shakes his head, then looks at groot from the corner of his eye. he's quick to amend: ] Not that I'm a scaredy cat. Nothing scares me. [ he puffs out his chest, sitting back in his chair. ] I'm Star-Lord. Brave and fearless and feared. Zombies got nothing on me!

[oakay]

[Groot untangles himself from the wrist and climbs onto the table again, nodding his head along to what Peter is saying.] I am Groot. I am Groot. I am Groot. [Whenever you guys say follow, don't follow unless you say don't follow? Look, Peter, he's totally got it. He knows what to do. No matter what, always go left and never, ever follow.

He drops down onto the table facing Peter and beams proudly.] I am Groot. [Peter, you're always scared. You are a scaredy cat. Learn to be like Groot. Groot is never scared, Groot is strong and noble.

Groot definitely didn't cry yesterday because he got lost. He is brave.]

[astrological]

[ fucking hell. ]

[ fortunately for groot, he calls peter a scaredy cat when peter specifically said he wasn't, and that diverts his attention from correcting groot's misinterpretation of what he's said. if he had the patience (ha) of rocket, perhaps he'd work on this until the cows literally come home and go i am moo. but he doesn't. instead, when groot eventually goes left and they go right, and he doesn't follow, it'll all come back to this moment — because they'll have to go save groot, and peter will blame groot instead of himself for the fact that this little tree is such a male with selective hearing. ]

I'm not always scared! You're the scared one. You hid behind me that one time when we were — [ he stops, face tilting upward as he tries to recall the moment. no, groot was pretty brave back when he was tall, and he exuded some braveness when he was tiny, too. that bug was fucking scary, man. ] Okay, maybe not that moment, but the other moment! In prison! And when we were flying the ship! I told you to put your seatbelt on but nooo, I am Groot thinks he knows better than the driver and Star-Lord! Who, by the way, was the same person!

[oakay]

[Groot is always brave, silly all of Peter, did you not know that? Groot was only scared of strange kitties, too big feet and the idea of being lost forever and ever, all alone, eventually taken to a garden center and then being sold on as a baby tree to sit in someone's office and go unloved on the weekends.

Why do you want him to be thirsty and unloved on the weekends??] I am Groot!

[He stomps his little feet. Peter is the scared one, he is not. He will never be a lonely office tree, he will be a big, noble warrior. Besides, he can drive better than you and Rocket combined.] I am Groot.

[astrological]

[ he held his hands up. the moment groot says i am groot!, he's ready with: ] Okay, man, okay! You're the bravest Guardian of the Galaxy for your height. [ that's better, right? he thinks he gets what groot's dropping, but sometimes the little man packs so much into those three words its difficult to unpack it all. ]

[ and then his entire demeanour changes as his brows furrow together before permanently stitching themselves crossed. ] What do you mean you're a better driver than me? You shouldn't be driving! You're not old enough to have your license!
