Summertime Shenanigans

Chapter 1

Hello!!!! This is my first fic so I really hope y'all like it!!! Ok ok read have fun

It was a bright and sunny day in crossroads. Sword was currently enjoying the nice weather, as it had been raining for around a week or so. He doesn't mind the rain once in a while, but a week straight was too much for him. He loves the summertime, and thankfully it was right around the corner. The flowers on all of the trees had just finished blooming, and the temperatures were starting to get warmer.

Sword was just relaxing, taking a nice, peaceful stroll along the sidewalk, browsing the surrounding stores' display areas. He was about to walk into one of the stores, as he saw something he was interested in, when he heard a familiar high pitched voice calling his name, getting closer each second.

"SWORD!!!! SWORD!!!! SWORD!!!!!!" Sword could barely even turn around before he was tackled by his best friend, Rocket.  

"Hi Sword!!!!!" Rocket said with a huge smile on his face, happy to see his friend.

"Hey Rocket!!" Sword just now processing everything that just happened, he got up off of the ground and hugged his friend.

"How are you doing??" Rocket asked

"I'm doing good!!! I saw it was finally sunny after a week or so, so I decided to go for a little walk!! I'm glad I ran into you though, I was wondering if we could hang out and chill at your house today!!!"

"Oh my god yes totally!!!!!! That would be awesome!!!! We can play games we can watch movies we can train we can..."

Sword listened on and on as Rocket talked and talked and talked about what they could do. At this point he wasn't paying attention to what he was saying, just admiring how passionate he was about such small things. He really liked his friend, but it was only platonic. They were just silly best friends doing silly things together.

"...and we can- ..Sword? Swooord? Helloooo?" Rocket asked while poking Sword a little.

"Wakey wakey!!!" Rocket got into Sword's ear, which finally snapped him out of his train of thought.

"Sword? You ok bud?"

"Yeah sorry...I guess I'm just a little tired."

"Ok then! Let's go!!!!"

Rocket and Sword started to walk over to his house, which thankfully wasn't too far from where they were.

Rocket was in awe with the forest surrounding them. All of the flowers had finished blooming after the recent rainfall, the scenery was beautiful. He almost thought to stop for a minute, but he didn't want to make his friend stop with him.

Eventually they arrived at Rocket's house. Zuka currently wasn't home, as he was on a trip to another phaction for a few days. He never specified why, just saying it wasn't important, but that just gave Rocket an excuse to have his friend stay over.

"Alright! What do you wanna do first??" Rocket enthusiastically asked.

"Hmm...I'm kinda tired man, can we just talk for a bit and see what we end up doing?"

"That sounds good!!!" Rocket was happy to just hang out and talk with his friend. He always loved doing that. He loved just talking about things he liked for hours and hours, while Sword would just listen to him and not judge him for being weird or annoying.

Sword appreciated having a friend like rocket. One he could just listen to for hours on end without it getting old. He loved the sound of his voice talking about things he enjoyed, or just something as simple as how it is outside currently. He would talk so passionately about everything and Sword would just listen to him, being fully intrigued.

Rocket and Sword talked for hours and hours together, so much so that the sun had already set by the time they were finished. The sky a beautiful dusk purple as the stars were beginning to show their glow.

"Geez...It's getting pretty late..." Sword said while looking at his phone.

"Why don't you stay the night?? My dad is out of town for a while and I got a bigger bed recently!!" Rocket excitedly suggested

"Ok!!! That sounds great!!"

Rocket and Sword were getting comfortable in bed together, the bed being being enough to fit both of them together with still a lot of wiggle room.

Thankfully, Rocket and Sword wear the same size clothes, so Rocket offered Sword some of his PJs.

Rocket yawns. "It's getting pretty late man, I'll see you in the morning.."

"Goodnight man."

"Goodnight."

With that, Rocket and Sword fell asleep.
