BROPPY DAYYY

Idk what to call this soooo...

Also, I wrote this on paper while I was sick (im still sick 😭) and didn't want to get up to get my iPad and open Wattpad and read what y'all had suggested to write abt, so I just winged it again and created this blob of terribleness lol.

I will still be writing ur suggestions tho! I have trolls fanfic block bahaha so I appreciate ur ideas!!💕

"Branch!"

Branch shot out of bed, startled by the sound of his girlfriend's voice shouting into his ear.

He peeked over his bed and rubbed his temple. "Poppy, it's--" he checked his alarm clock, "--5am. What're you doing?"

"I'm the queen, I'm supposed to be up this early. Besides," she said dropping to the floor next to him, "today wouldn't be as special if I couldn't spend a few moments with my favorite boyfriend?"

Branch smiled at her and stood up, offering her his hand. "Well, I'm flattered, but why today specifically?"

Her face fell. "Don't you know what today is?"

"Trash day?" he suggested.

Poppy couldn't help giggling. "No, I mean on the calander."

He turned to his calander and said, "Well, yesterday was the 20th, so today must be the 21st."

"Yup, good job, Professor."

He scoffed at the tease, crossing his arms. "Yes, and?"

Poppy considered something for a few moments, then took a card out of her hair, and handed it to him. "Read it," she urged gently.

Branch lifted an eyebrow, opened the card, and read. He immediately recognized his wobbly handwriting from two years ago.

Poppy,

This adventure helped me realize my feelings for you are a bit deeper than I believed they were. I wouldn't say love (I think), though it may be easy for it to become that, but I have began to realize how special you are and how big of a part you are in my life. I can't imagine me ever again regaining my colors without you. You are the ropes that are holding the falling pieces to this broken troll that I am. As cheesy as it is, you have glued my torn heart with the love you always seem to be spreading around and throwing in my face especially and I hope you continue to be an amazing influence and part of me from now on. I know you will never read this, but I had to write it down. You are a beautiful, inspiring, and sunny troll that I have grown to admire, though I hated to admit it before. I wish that one day I'd be worthy of your friendship.

With love, your friend: Branch

Written, September 21st

Branch looked up at Poppy, surprised. "Wait...this was the letter I wrote to myself the day I became friends with you."

Poppy grinned and shook her head. "Nope, says you wrote it to me."

"Well, yeah, but I wrote it for myself because you weren't ever supposed to read it," Branch groaned. "How'd you find it?"

"It dropped from your hair one day and, when I found that it was a letter for me, I've kept it since. For two years," she noted proudly.

Branch glared at her. "Once again: nothing is private."

"Not from meeee!" Poppy sang, taking his arm.

He couldn't help smiling. "So...what? You came to rub this in?"

"Yes and no. It's our official Friendiversary, Branch! C'mere, I want to show you something."

She led him quietly out of the bunker so they wouldn't wake his brothers, towards the mushroom in the center of the Pop Village.

Party decorations, refreshment tables, a dance floor, plus a banner that said: HAPPY 2ND FRIENDIVERSARY OF THE BERGENS!! were obvious signs of a party planned later.

"I thought you could help me decorate!" she squealed.

"Oh." He was a bit disappointed. "Great."

She nudged him playfully. "Wanna hear a secret?"

Branch didn't know how to respond. Of course he did, but should he say so?

"Is it more letters from my bunker?" he decided to say instead, jokingly.

"Nope!" She laughed. "I'll tell you once you catch me." She suddenly dashed off, and Branch was caught by surprise.

He chased after her, laughing at her giggles as she called back at him about how slow and old he was, and all he responded with was a shout of how she wasn't that much younger than him, only by a few years.

They passed trees, pods, and night animals getting ready to hide from the daytime again as the sun began to peek from behind the hills.

"Byeeee!!" Poppy called as she began to eagerly climb up a huge tree, way ahead of him now.

"Wait!" Branch used his hair to follow her into the leaves.

But then she was gone.

"Poppy?! Poppy!!" he called. He flipped tree leaves and calked for her, climbing faster and higher up as he did so.

Then, he found her.

She was sitting silently on the edge of a tree branch, looking out at the view of the village.

He rushed towards her and sat beside her. "Poppy, why didn't you--?" Branch stopped, realizing something. "Wait...is this...?"

She looked at him and smiled. "The place we met?" She nodded. "Yup."

Branch was astounded. It didn't look so different from ten years ago when he had been gathering leaves for his bunker and Poppy had found him in the tree and followed him, bothering him with questions.

Multiple times he had asked why she didn't go back down where it was safer (and away from him) but she hadn't budged.

Branch chuckled. "Whew, we loved to bother each other from the start, didn't we?"

"Still do." She laughed. "Welp, I guess it's time for my secret."

She took his hand. "When I first fell for you, I had always dreamed we would meet here for our first kiss. I don't know why, but it seemed really romantic."

Branch nodded. "That would be...too bad you already took our first kiss," he grinned.

"Yeah, I guess I was a bit impatient," Poppy smirked. She paused. "I wouldn't mind a kiss... now, though. Ya know, on our friendiversary. Wouldn't be the same, I guess but--"

She was interrupted by Branch's sudden kiss. She was a bit surprised from how quickly he went for it, but immediately melted into the kiss.

After a bit, he pulled away.

"Good enough?" he grinned.

"For sure," she nodded.

Branch brushed a bang out of her eyes. "Look, I'm sorry I forgot our anni- friendiversary. How about I take you shopping this afternoon for your gift?"

Poppy smiled. "Why leave? We have all we need here."

It was true.

And, just as the sun rose just enough for it to make the sky a pretty rose and orange color, the birds began to sing their morning songs, and as the time came for Poppy to have begun her morning song...

They leaned in for another kiss.

They didn't know how in the world their relationship had gotten here.

But they were here.

And that was all that mattered.

HAPPY BROPPY DAAAYYYY AUGGHHH MY BABIEESSS 😭😍😝
