Chapter 34

Thankfully no one was around when Branch straightened his hair to remove the cocoon. He didn't know what he would do if Poppy and Smurfette had waited for them to come out or if anyone else had stumbled upon them.

Not seeming to care, Hefty took Branch's hand, kissed it with a wink, and headed for his mushroom with him.

The first few steps were normal. But then they looked at each other, each smiling, and the pace quickened. Soon enough they were laughing and running, almost as if they were trying to race each other even as they held hands.

None of the Smurfs they passed seemed to think anything of it as they raced past. Some smiled and waved but no one called out or tried to stop them, not that they would have.

Once Hefty's door shut behind them, Hefty almost pressed Branch against it. Instead he locked the door and pulled the Troll close to taste those amazing lips again.

Each kiss lead to another, hands touching whatever they could reach as they blindly stumbled towards the bed. Hefty's hat was knocked off near the door and Branch's vest fell almost immediately after. Pants were discarded just in time to fall onto the bed together, each of them on their sides.

Releasing Branch's mouth, Hefty smiled down at Branch, "I love you, though I think you still owe me a hickey."

Branch blinked, then chuckled, "Nope, I gave you one."

Absently, Hefty felt around his neck. Nothing felt like it was bruising.

"No, lower," said Branch.

Pulling back a bit, Hefty looked down at his chest and stomach but saw nothing.

"Lower," said Branch.

Confused, Hefty sat up to possibly stand and go look in the mirror when he spotted it. There was a developing hickey on his inner thigh.

"Branch," Hefty said slowly, "I can't show that off!"

"You better not!" Branch blushed.

"Come on, give me another one," Hefty pleaded, exposing his neck.

Branch hummed, "Nah, I think I'm good."

"Then I'm going to give you another one," Hefty moved in closer.

"Nope," Branch quickly slipped out of the bed and out of immediate reach. He smiled at Hefty's pout, though he knew the Smurf would never admit that he was pouting. "I'll consider giving you one later though, but first I need a shower." He blushed a little, but suggested to Hefty's washroom. "Care to join me?"

Branch was offering to shower with him? Hefty must have died and gone to heaven.

"Branch?" Hefty got off the bed and moved towards him.

"Yeah?" asked Branch.

"Marry me?" asked Hefty.

"Later," Branch took Hefty's hand and kissed the Lock Ring made from his hair.

"I'm just going to keep asking until you say yes," said Hefty, lifting Branch's hand to kiss his Lock Ring, made from the strings of his hat, in return.

"I'm counting on it," said Branch, pulling Hefty to the washroom.
