"Absolutely stunning."
Those were the first words to come out of Branch's mouth the second Poppy stepped out of the bedroom. She was wearing a long, low-cut, black dress with deep purple designs. Her right leg peeked through the slit, and. All while Branch sat on the couch in his usual date night attire Satin and Chenille made just for him, accessorized with a smile that said 'I'm so lucky.' If hearts could appear in his eyes, they would.
"That's what you said about the last outfit… and the one before it," The Pop Queen said with a soft chuckle. She spun around slowly to give him the full view. Her long hair flowed to follow the movement. "How am I supposed to choose what to wear for this date if you don't give me any criticism?"
"I can't help it," Branch said. He was looking at Poppy like they were the only two in the universe. "You look so beautiful in anything you wear. What am I supposed to say when I'm married to a woman with no flaws whatsoever?"
Poppy giggled, and a faint blush appeared on her cheeks. "I wouldn't go that far," she said. "I need you to help me choose, though. Is there one that was your favorite?"
The teal troll smiled. "I really dig this one," he said, and then stood to walk closer to her. Branch rested his hands on her hips before he leaned in for a kiss. It was brief, but soft. "I have a shirt to match that purple, too. Mind waitin' for me to get changed, dear?"
Poppy hummed and leaned in for a second kiss before giving his arms a pat. "I'd love to see what you're going to wear," she said, still smiling. "I'm sure you'll look very handsome."
Branch blushed. "Aw, Poppy," he said. "I won't make you wait too long. One sec." He left for the bedroom and came back shortly after wearing a purple dress shirt, a black blazer, and… still no pants. He made sure to give her a spin, like she had done for him earlier.
Poppy let out a soft laugh. "I think the place we're going to has a policy about wearing pants," she said, gesturing to his bare legs.
"Oh! You're right, I almost forgot!" Branch ran back to the room and returned wearing black pants. "There we go. Didn't wanna get us kicked out."
"You look absolutely beautiful," The Pop Queen said, and cupped his cheeks. "Are you ready to go, then?"
"There's still somethin' I have to do before that," Branch said, and leaned in to give Poppy some more kisses. He was always a sucker for physical affection, and the urge was stronger when Poppy dressed up. After a good ten kisses (he probably would've gone for more if they didn't have plans), Branch managed to pull himself away and offer his arm to her instead, which Poppy looped her own arm around. "Okay, let's go."
