Branch and Poppy One Shot

In the Rain

Poppy finds out why Branch hates Creek.

One cloudy day in Troll Village in an underground bunker a lonely grey troll named Branch was busy reading a book when he heard a loud and annoying knock followed by a voice that was beautiful and obnoxious voice. He got on his lift and started up towards the door and opened to see a pink troll named princess Poppy. She was a big annoying pain in his back, and he'd never let anyone know that he secretly has a crush on her, but she was hitting hard on that stupid troll Creek. He kept his thoughts to himself.

''Hi Branch, mind if I come in for a bit?'' She asked he was about to say no but saw the sky it looked like it could rain at any time.

''Alright come in.'' He said she got of his lift, and they went down to the main area in the bunker there was a couch with a fireplace in front of it and a backroom which was his bedroom and to the side a small kitchen.

''So, what bring you here to my humble abode?'' Asked Branch sarcastically.

''I just to visit you check up on how you're doing?'' she said looking around his place.

''Oh, I thought you were here to invite me to another party?'' he said sitting on the couch motioning for her to sit.

''Well, there is one next week, but I decided to come visit you.'' she said smiling at him.

''Why aren't you hanging with that group you hang with and Creek.'' he said forcefully secretly happy she was here instead of with that yoga troll.

''Well, they are all at a party and Creek is the one throwing it.'' She said looking at him.

''And you came to see me instead of him, no wonder I didn't get a card for him.'' Branch said bitterly.

''What is your problem with Creek? what did he ever do to you?'' she asked.

''Nothing it doesn't matter I think you should go and enjoy the party I'm not a troll that needs looking after alright.'' he said annoyingly.

''Come on Branch open up with me, I want to see if I can help you, what do you have against Creek?''

''Why does it matter? He a perfect know it all and every troll thinks he great except for me, there you satisfied with the answer?'' He asked walking around.

''Yes, but there is something else bothering you isn't there?'' She asked getting up and walking closer to him.

''No nothing.'' He said.

''Branch please what is wrong tell me or I will not leave you alone till you do, how come you never let me in, I'm only trying to help.'' She said pleading.

''Well stop trying and leave me be! You're a annoying loud party troll who doesn't know when to quit so please leave and enjoy the party!'' He shouted.

He regretted yelling at her he saw her with tears in her eyes and her looking heartbroken and she took off running out of the bunker, Branch feeling guilty ran after her. Poppy was on her way to her home crying as it was pouring before she could get far, she felt someone grab her arm, she turned around to see Branch standing there and she glared at him ''GO AWAY.''

''Poppy I'm sorry.'' He said getting soaked.

''Why should I believe you? you don't care even though I spent most of my time trying to make you happy.'' she said as she broke from his grasp and took off walking.

''You want to know what bothering me?'' He asked.

This caught Poppy interest, she turned to see Branch with a bit tighter grip on her wrist ''It's you Poppy. I know you're a princess and that you're with Creek, but I have to say it I love you it's a big reason why I hate Creek. He has the one troll I wanted, and I lost that chance, and he knows I have feelings for you!'' He said pouring his heart out.

Poppy stood there in silence too shocked to say anything she wasn't with Creek and didn't know why he could say that they were, and he loved he. She admitted a while ago she had a crush on him and now, she loved him as well this troll who doesn't open up to anyone just told her his deepest secret ever.

''I'm not with Creek, also I love you as well I just never thought you'd love me back.'' She said holding his hand.

Without thinking Branch pulled Poppy into a kiss and she responded with kissing back they were standing in the rain soaked and kissing finally they pulled apart and Branch said ''I love you and I always will so will you be my girlfriend; I have no right to ask but I have to.'' He said.

''Of course, Branch I'll be your girlfriend, but can we go somewhere where we would be dry?'' She asked they made their way back to his bunker that night Poppy stayed with Branch, and all was well for this couple.

Enjoy!
