Broppy oneshots (Branch x Poppy)

Cowboy

When Branch was a young troll, his grandma died from saving him, he turned gray and sat in the dirt for what seemed like days. But in the middle of the night, a young, four legged troll found him and took him in as her son. He was definitely different from the rest but as he grew up, he grew up to be hard working and a strong cowboy.

Poppy grew up in her village. She was a very happy troll with big dreams, but when Creek, her exboyfriend, cheated on her... She stopped partying hard and became more laid back.

Branch grabs his horse critter from the barn and ties it up. He saddles it up and leads it out. He then gets on and pats it's thick neck.
He was always the first in the saddle of the other trolls like him.
Over the years, the country trolls took in quite a few of two legged trolls. They learned how to train some horse critters so they could keep up with everyone and get chores done right.
As he waits he hears singing but it wasn't country.. In fact he hasn't heard this kind of music ever since he's lived in the troll tree.
He gives the horse critter a light squeeze with his legs and follows the music. It was coming from the town square.

I hitch my horse critter as I get off him. I turn around to see to see a all pink troll and a glitter troll dancing and singing. I cross my arms and Lean on the building next to me. It was quite annoying.
As they continue, I walk up to mom.

"Who the heck are they?"

Her eye twitches.
"No clue."

The pink one looks at me then starts to mumble her words and stop singing. I cross my arms and arch my eyebrow at her. The glitter troll looks at her confused as he also stops singing. He looks at me then back to pinky.

"Poppy?"

Her name.. It sounds familiar.

"Arrest them."
Mom says as she puts her hands on her hip.

"Whoa now, Delta. I don't think that's necessary.."
Holly says runn' over.
"Why don't we welcome them? They don't seem to be a threat-"

"That was a crime against music! They deserve at least a night in the cellar."
She argues.

"Pleeeeaaaase!"

I roll my eyes and watch as the pink troll fiddles with her hands and kicks the dirt a bit.
Mom groans and looks over to me.

"Branch, you and Holly will show them around. Keep an eye on them."

"What? Ma I have chor-"

"Jane will do them for today. I need you to do as your told. Okay?"

"Yes ma'am."
I look back to the pink troll. I couldn't help but look over and glare at the glitter troll next to her.

Holly skips over and takes the girls hands into her own and smiles at her.
"Welcome, I'm Holly! That's Branch, but don't mind him. He's mostly bark, only bites when needed."
She winks at pinky and she blushes.

I roll my eyes at her and grab her shirt, lifting her a little.
"Watch it Holly. They're still strangers."

"No not strangers!"
Holly wiggles out of my grasp and turns to me.
"Their guests now! So be nice."

"Ugh."
I groaned.
She can be such a pain in the neck.

After the tour, they meet back up with Delta.

"Ok. Poppy hunny, you and your friend will be staying with my son until I find out more about you two."

"Wha- ma-"
Delta put her hand up, cutting him off.

"Go and show them where they'll be staying."

"Ugh.."
ɞ
He opens his door and flicks the light on. He hangs his hat and takes his vest off, hanging it as well. He looks back at the pop trolls and sigh.

"This is the living room.. Next room is the kitchen. Shut the door behind you."

The two walk in behind him and guy shuts the door. Poppy's eyes sparkle at the sight.

"This place is nothing like pop village! It's so open!"

Branch opens the fridge and grabs a soda and pops it open. He swallows it down and wipes his mouth.
"You will be sleeping in the living room, I don't care who sleeps on the couch or on the ground. That's for you to figure out. Now, I'm going to bed. Grab whatever you want from the kitchen."

Branch leaves to his room.

Poppy watches as he leaves and sighs. Guy looks at her confused but then it clicks.

"Omg are you liking the grumpy cowboy?"

"What- no! I- I- I- .. Shut up..."

Guy laughs and pats her shoulder.

"Keep dreaming queen Poppy.. I don't think anyone is getting into his gray heart."

Poppy shrugs and take a blanket and pillow from the couch and lays on the ground, letting her friend take the couch.
