Rocket Raccoon/Relationships

Peter Quill
"I could tellby how you talked about him…this Ego is bad news.We’re here to save Quill."

- Rocket reflecting on their need to rescue Quill Though they often tease one another, Quill and Rocket are very good friends and not only friends but rivals (at times) and family.

Despite their rivalry, Rocket does care about Peter, and went to rescue him from Ego after learning from Yondu that Ego was planning on hurting his own son.

Gamora
Gamora first met Rocket on Knowhere when they were all attacking Peter Quill. He called her the "lackey of a homicidal maniac" without even getting to know her. Gamora had even called him "rodent," but eventually learned that he was hurting on the inside. By Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2, Gamora and Rocket were very good friends, as she was using his Aero-Rig inventions and was worried about Rocket when he would not answer the communicator.

He is currently unaware of his friends' deaths, and will be even more upset after seeing Groot die.
