Relationship Upgrade

WARNING - FLUFF AHEAD (this was rlly cheesy and almost hard for me to write 😭) 

Nothing necessarily inappropriate, just a LOT of kisses❤

Poppy took a deep breath in as she folded her hands and set them in her lap.

Branch was going to be there any minute, and she had to prepare herself mentally.

Poppy loved Branch, and she knew that he loved her. They had a wonderful relationship and had been together for almost a year now.

But that was the problem.

Poppy felt like their relationship never really seemed to- expand. It just felt like all day, all year almost, they were still just at Level 1.

She knew Branch was nervous about doing and saying anything new to her in fear of her rejecting it, but this talk was going to change that.

She was going to change that.

Poppy had asked Branch to come over the past week, and he contantly made excuses. She knew he was scared about what she was going to talk to him about because his excuses were always the dumbest things in the world.

"Oh, uhm, not today... I have to go, er, pack up my record players and stash them in a room...in my bunker...somewhere."

"Oh, shoot, sorry Poppy, not today, I promised Holly that I would taste her chocoloate cupcakes this morning..."

"I don't think so, I have to return this book to the library today... Sorry."

They honestly made her smile.

But yesterday, Branch gave in to a talk today. He couldn't hide behind excuses forever.

Poppy checked the cookies on the table. Yup. They still looked delicious. She was sure that Branch wouldn't eat any, but they made the scene more casual.

She could not have Branch uncomfortable in this conversation.

Speaking of her boyfriend, she heard his soft steps enter the doorway.

Poppy looked up eagerly, happy to see him. Finally.

Branch stopped and watched her for a minute before saying, "Hey..."

Yup. He was terrified.

Poppy smiled. "Hi! So...are you just going to stand there or talk to your girlfriend?"

Branch flushed and walked to the couch on the other side of the coffee table with the cookies, so he was looking straight at her.

"So- uhm...you wanted to talk? That's all?" Branch seemed to be trying to compose himself.

And failing. Miserably

"Well... Maybe not just that." Poppy did have some other plans. She grinned at him. "You can relax."

Branch lifted his eyebrows. "I am relaxed."

"That's a terrible lie," she giggled. "I just wanted to ask you something."

Branch looked pale. "And that is?"

Poppy fidgeted. "I wanted to know... Well, you know I love you, and I know you love me. I have never felt the way towards anyone the way that I do towards you, and I believe and pray that the spark that you give me everytime I see you will never fade. I just have a bit of an issue that's been bothering me for a bit, and I need to know..."

She gave a deep breath, and Branch held his.

"I wnated to ask if you were comfortable with moving up in our relationship," Poppy said quickly.
