Sick Branch

Floyd

His only little brother is sick.

It didn't take much to see that.

Branch is very sick.

He shouldn't be helping the others right now.

He should rest for when they need the Perfect Family Harmony!

Branch stumbled over to his prison with a dopey smile, "Flo Flo!"

Poppy and Tiny were close behind him.

Floyd frowned, "Branch, you're sick. You should go rest."

He frowned and put his hands on the diamond, "No! Not leaving! Not gonna leave you!"

Floyd stared at Branch sadly, "Buddy, you wanna help?"

He nodded rapidly.

Floyd smiled sadly, "Then go rest, angel..."

He frowned, "No.." His voice cracked.

Floyd's heart shattered, "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! Don't cry, don't cry! Please don't cry..."

Branch stared up at him with teary eyes.

Poppy put her hand on Branch's shoulder, "Branch..?"

Tiny grew concerned, he knows that Branch normally wouldn't let anyone see him cry.

Branch whimpered, "Won't leave!" His lip quivered as he put a hand over his stomach.

Floyd sighed, "Buddy.."

"No! Mama!"

He froze in place, "Wh-What...Branch d-did you just..."

His lip quivered, "Mama..."

Floyd nearly cried, "Don't cry! Please, don't cry, angel..oh..."

Poppy walked up beside Branch, "Come on, little bro.."

Tiny grabbed his finger, "Come on, big guy!"

Both Poppy and Tiny heard loud footsteps coming towards the room.

They have to get out of here before they get caught!

Floyd's eyes widened when he heard Velvet's voice, "Listen to me, listen!"

He took a deep breath, he can't believe he's about to say this to his confused, sick, baby brother..

"Look at mama!"

It worked though, Branch looked up at him.

"Branch, go with your friends, okay? Then come and save me! Got it? Save me when they walk the red carpet!"

Branch looked ready to cry, but he nodded.

Floyd sighed in relief, then he pressed his forehead against the diamond, "Good...thanks, buddy..."

Branch whimpered and pressed his forehead against the diamond where Floyd was.

"Love you mama..gonna save you..." he whispered.

Then the door opened and Tiny jumped into Poppy's hair.

Poppy wrapped an arm around Branch's stomach and lifted all of them all up to the vent with ease.

Branch reached out for Floyd, "Bye.." he whimpered.

Floyd did his best not to cry as he sat down.

Then he noticed his brothers in Velvet and Veneer's shoulder pads.

He gasped as he was lifted and placed in Velvet's.

"Guys!" He yelled.

They stopped fighting and looked at him, "Floyd!" They cheered.

He grit his teeth, "We're done for!"

Clay looked surprised, "What do you mean..?"

He sighed, "Branch is so sick, he called me mama...he's too sick to save us. Then there was a small glitter troll, he's a literal baby! And then a pink troll, she didn't look like she could do much to really help us."

JD bit his lip, "I forgot Branch is sick...but don't worry, Floyd! Poppy, the pink troll, she's gonna help us!"

Bruce nodded, "Yeah, bro! We're all gonna be okay! We have to be.."

"For Branch." The older three said in unison.

Veneer cooed, "Awwww, sis! They spoke at the same time! How cute is that?"

Velvet rolled her eyes, then she realized something, she leaned down to look into her brothers shoulder pads, which made Clay yelp and Floyd groan as they slammed against the diamond.

"Who is Branch? You keep mentioning him."

JD and Bruce glared at her.

"Fuck you!" JD said.

Bruce silently turned away from her.

She scowled, "Whatever, you all said he's sick? Wait a minute..."

She stood straight and looked at Floyd, "He calls you mama? Are you his mother?"

Floyd wrinkled his nose and gagged, "No! No fucking way!"

Clay, Bruce, and JD looked shocked, "What would be so wrong about being his mother?" Clay asked defensively.

Floyd shook his head, "Nothing, nothing." He said sarcastically.

"JUST THE FACT THAT IT WOULD MEAN JD AND I HAD A KID TOGETHER!" He screamed.

JD turned green at the thought, "Point taken."

Clay teared up, looking ready to cry at the thought, "Never. Never say that again."

Bruce gagged, "Yeah, man..don't."

Velvet and Veneer also looked like they wanted to be sick.

Floyd took a deep breath, "Because I don't want another incident like this, Branch is our baby brother."

Velvet's eyes widened, "Bitty B?! He has the voice of an angel! Even as a baby it was so beautiful!"

The brothers sighed, none of them wanted that revealed but they also couldn't stand the thought of the twins thinking they were okay with incest.
