Broppy Week: In Love

| Bruce and Clay, during their trip to save Floyd with Branch and Poppy and JD, are suspicious of Branch and Poppy's weird friendship, not realizing that they were actually dating|

Bruce squinted at Branch as he sat down beside Poppy and asked her if she was alright.

That was a sweet thing to do after her sister drama that they had just been through, but it wasn't said in a "hey, I'm your bestie, ready to help," kinda way.

 It was the way that Bruce offered to make dinner for the kids when his wife Brandy was too exhausted to even think.

It was said in a "lovey-dovey" kinda way.

 "Hey, Clay," Bruce whispered over toward where Clay was sadly staring into space as well. He was pretty depressed over Viva as well. 

 "Yeah?" Clay sighed, getting up and walking over.

Bruce pointed at Branch and Poppy. "They're sitting awfully close to each other, other, don't you think?"

 Branch and Poppy always sat about two inches away from each other. It was honestly how they had always been.

Of course his brothers didn't know this.

Clay watched as Branch talked calmly to Poppy, and they could hear the comfort in his voice, even from the other side of Rhonda.

 "Huh. They are sitting really close." Clay turned to his older brother. "Do you think they like each other?"

 "I'm not sureeee... " Bruce said, hand on chin. "We don't want to make incorrect assumptions."

 Branch just then grabbed Poppy's hand and began to caress it, still talking with a slight comforting smile on his face. Poppy watched him, a smile forming, grateful.

 "😱😱😱" Bruce and Clay gasped.

 "Hand-holding?!! Already!! " Clay asked. "It took me twenty years to gather up the courage to hold Viva's hand!"

"Okay, they obviously must be really close, " Bruce said."But how much...?"

 "Maybe John Dory knows," Clay suggested.

They turned to their oldest sibling.

 "John Dory! Have you seem these two acting lovey -dovey in here?" Clay asked him eagerly .

"Yeah, why?" John Dory frowned slightly at them, not caring. He already knew that Poppy and Branch were dating.

"Look! They're ✨hugging✨!" Bruce noted magically.

They stared at the couple.

Something about the way they hugged...the way they smiled while hugging....the way one of them always caressed the other's back during it. The way each of them squeezed.

It was showing something special. Something different.

"Yeah, they have got to have a crush on each other," Bruce stated. "Has to be."

 Clay nodded. "We should help him figure out a way to tell her."

 They watched Branch and Poppy, now done hugging, hold her wrist and draw lines on it with his fingers while Poppy giggled while he tried to demonstrate something.

 "They would make a cute couple," Clay nodded.

 "Yeah. It's a shame they aren't official. Welp."

That night, the two middle boys went to bed, wishing their youngest brother and Poppy would actually start dating, because they seemed to deserve each other.

John Dory walked up to Branch that night too. "I think they think you're in the friendzone, bro."

 Branch nodded, relieved. "The less they know, the better..."

 This was pretty bad BUT WHO CARES THE WHOLE WORLD AIN'T READING IT. And this is a day late because I got home late last night and fell asleep while trying to write it on time lol. Sorrryyyyy. Hope you're doing well, love ya!❤❤❤
