Branch and Poppy One Shot

A Drunk Poppy

Poppy gets drunk

One quiet evening in his bunker Branch was busy making a nice supper for him and Poppy it was date night for them.

''Oh can I have some of this?'' Asked Poppy.

The blue troll turned around to see Poppy holding up a bottle of wine that was in one of his cabinets. He chuckled. ''Sorry Poppy I don't think that would be good for you.'' He said.

''But why not? Please Branch just a little bit.'' She begged.

He chuckled she maybe queen but she did sometimes act like a kid. ''Ok fine.'' He went and poured a small bit of wine in a glass waiting to see her reaction. He looked over at the sauce.

''Dang my sauce!'' He zipped over to keep it from burning.

Poppy took a sip and she liked it, it was the best and she liked the feeling it gave her, She looked to see her cup empty and saw the bottle. 'A little more won't hurt.'

Branch was busy working on the spaghetti and sauce and smiles as it was looking good. He then heard a hiccup behind him he turned and saw Poppy giggling, red and hiccuping. ''Poppy did you have more?'' He asked.

He saw the bottle was half empty and frowns at Poppy who looked guilty. ''Ok so yes I had more but its so good and I love it. *Hic*

''I knew I should of put it up.'' He smiles at her.

He smiles and hugs her setting her on the chair. ''Sit here supper is ready.'' He said as he brought it over and gave her a glass of water which she pushed away. ''Its smells good Branchie.'' She giggles and takes a bit.

''Thank pretty are you sure your ok?'' He asked as he got up and went over as she looked to fall off her chair.

''I'm great! *Hic.* She smiles.

He smiled as he ate then he saw her. ''Poppy are you ok?'' He asked.

''Oh Branch you are so hot and perfect you go out of your way to help others and me and you put your life on the line for us you have muscles and I see all the girls after you.'' She said and then she looked down and sad and he saw tears forming from her.

''What is it?'' He asked gently on his knees holding her hands as she was sitting

''You are a hero to them and perfect. I realized something I'm a horrible queen. I never listen to you or anyone I do what I want without thinking of how it will affect others. I'm sorry I not the right girl for you.'' She slipped her hands out of his and started crying. ''I'm nothing but a queen who wants to make everyone happy by doing what I want you should leave me and find someone more worthy of you then me. I need to change but I doubt I ever will.'' She cried.

He was amused, touched and concerned. ''Poppy don't say that you are a wonderful queen, yes you make mistakes but you learn from them and I love you the way you are I wouldn't change you for anything. If it wasn't for you coming to invite me to parties and being friends and throwing that party we would never of went on an adventure together and we never would be together.'' He wipes away tears from her eyes smiling and moved back a bit.

He loved that she had this side to her where she had doubts and how she admitted she wasn't perfect he wasn't neither he had insulted her saying she would be a horrible queen it hurt him that she took it seriously.

''Oh Branch..'' She smiles and she tugged on his vest as they stood up and she pulled him into a clumsy dance where she was leading. This caught him off guard and he was spinning as she took control.

''Woah careful Poppy!'' He called as she stumbled backwards and they fell on the floor him over top of her as she smiles and giggles her hand on his chest. ''What did a girl like me do to deserve a guy like you?'' She asked hiccuping and slurring giggling.

He smiled at her and she snuggles into his side as she passes out, he looked at her and smiled and leans over kissing her forehead and then heard her snore. This was her first ever opening she ever gave him of her true feelings and he loved that he wasn't the only one to feel this way all the things she said about herself. He had thought of that if anything it brought them closer. However he realized the wine made her more open and emotional,

He then plants a gentle kiss on her lips and lifts her up laying her on his bed and he went to clean up the mess and put the wine up somewhere she couldn't reach it. Later he came and hopped in bed his arm around her as she cuddled into his body mumbling. ''I love you Branch.''

''I love you too.'' He smiled as they fell asleep only to be awaken by her snoring and it was loud and he chuckled at it and after a bit fell asleep.

The next morning Poppy woke up groggy not remembering what happened she looked to see she was in Branch's bed and looked to see him sitting up reading. ''Branch? What happened?'' She asked holding her head.

''Good morning Poppy here is some water and medicine that should help with the hangover.'' He said as she took it.

''Thanks. So this is gonna sound werid what happened last night?''

''Well I was making supper and gave you wine you then drank half of the bottle got drunk and then broke down crying saying how I was perfect and you were nothing and that you didn't deserve me and how you were worried about being a queen.'' He said laughing. ''It was quiet funny but then again the wine affected you more you lightweight. I should do that more often.'' He teased.

Poppy turned red and hid her face in her hands. ''Oh my troll I- I didn't know I'm so embarrassed by that I'm sorry you had to see that.'' She said shaking her head.

He lifted up her chin and stares at her. ''To be honest I actually liked it, it made me realize that I wasn't the only one who felt that way. If anything it brought us closer.''

She smiles at him and they lean in and share a passionate kiss his lips stroked her over and over he pulled away cupping her face with his hands. ''I love you my queen Poppy.'' he smiles.

''I love you too Branch.'' She smiles and blushes as she kisses climbed on him kissing him again and they held each other.

Enjoy!
