After a cozy night in Branch's warm nook,
Poppy blinked awake, her bright hair a wild book.
Stretching her arms wide, she sparkled with glee,
Then hopped from her bed, as lively as can be.
Approaching the hatch with a determined bounce,
She gripped the handle, her excitement did pounce.
Pulling it open, a chill rushed inside,
Her big pink eyes widened, she quickly replied—
With a puff of her cheeks, she slammed the hatch tight,
Rubbing her arms, shivering at the bite.
Hopping on the lift, she pressed the button with zest,
As it descended, she wiggled, full of fest.
When the lift hit the ground, she zipped to the couch,
Diving under a blanket, making a vouch.
Branch lounged nearby, his brow raised in surprise,
Watching Poppy wiggle, delight in her eyes.
Peeking from the blanket, mischief in her stance,
With a playful grin, she offered a glance.
Pointing up with her thumb, her whole body swayed,
Branch smiled warmly, understanding her play.
He shifted in closer, wrapping her tight,
Poppy nestled against him, feeling just right.
With a playful nudge, she buried her face,
In the crook of his shoulder, she found her safe space.
Her curls bounced as she laughed, her joy so alive,
Branch rolled his eyes but couldn't help thrive.
Cuddled together, they basked in the glow,
Their warmth wrapped them tightly, like a soft, gentle flow.
Suddenly inspired, Branch jumped to his feet,
Heading to the kitchen, his mission was sweet.
Poppy reached out, but he moved out of grasp,
She tumbled off the couch, caught in a laugh’s clasp.
Bouncing back up, her hair in a flurry,
She followed him eagerly, her heart in a hurry.
In the kitchen, he stirred, the scent rich and bold,
Poppy’s eyes widened at marshmallows so cold.
With stealth in her steps, she crept ever near,
Her tiny fingers outstretched, filled with cheer.
Just as she reached, Branch turned with a grin,
Playfully swatting her hand, mischief within.
Poppy gasped, feigning a frown, then burst into laughter,
Her joy like a melody, sweet and ever after.
Amidst their giggles, she pointed with glee,
To the cupboard filled with treasures, inviting them free.
Branch raised an eyebrow, intrigued by her zest,
She shook her head, ready for a new quest.
With a playful glint, he scooped her up high,
Her laughter erupted, echoing the sky.
He placed her back down, a triumphant delight,
Poppy landed softly, eyes sparkling bright.
Branch returned soon, cocoa steaming in hand,
Holding it just out of reach, teasing was planned.
With every lean forward, he pulled it away,
Her cheeks flushed with laughter, in their playful fray.
After their game, Branch offered the cup,
Poppy’s face lit up, as she hurried to sup.
Cradling it close, she savored the heat,
While Branch poured his own, settling down neat.
As they nestled together, warmth in the air,
Poppy began sharing scrapbooks laid bare.
Tucked in her hair, each page was a treasure,
Her eyes sparkled brightly, pure joy beyond measure.
Laying back in his lap, her head resting light,
She gestured with glee, her heart soaring bright.
Branch brushed her hair back, a gentle caress,
As Poppy flipped pages, her spirit a mess.
After a while, she rolled off with a wiggle,
Wriggling on the floor, she laughed with a giggle.
With a mischievous grin, she beckoned him near,
Branch joined her on the floor, their laughter sincere.
Lying on her back, he rested his weight,
Propping on elbows, their closeness was fate.
His face hovered near, he admired her glow,
Her hair sprawled like flowers, a colorful show.
Leaning to read, Poppy squealed with delight,
Kicking her legs playfully, a joyful sight.
Branch chuckled softly, enchanted by her glee,
Poppy poked at him gently, urging him to see.
In their cozy bubble, they cherished the day,
Laughter and warmth melted worries away.
As the warmth faded softly, they felt sleep's embrace,
Poppy curled up gently, finding her place.
Branch nestled closer, their breathing in sync,
The world outside faded, in silence they'd sink.
With the chill of the day replaced by their glow,
They drifted to dreams, their connection would grow.
In this snug moment, wrapped up in each other,
Poppy and Branch, like no other.
