Branch had just came back from his 4am swim to take a shower. He wished Poppy was there but he knew that she doesn't like waking up really early then she usually did.
After putting on his robe, he made his way towards the bedroom where Poppy was currently sleeping peacefully in their bed. Watching him sleep is oddly therapeutic.
Her hair was a bit messy her naked body half covered by the soft bed sheets. Needless to say Branch in his mind thought the sight in front of him was a perfect sight to see every day since they've moved in together and was never sick of it at all. Branch took her hand that was resting on her pillow before kissing the promise ring band on her ring finger.
Poppy let out a contented breath as he scooted on her side and gave her a gentle kiss on her forehead. Poppy seemed to feel him moving closer, so she buried her face in his neck before she murmured a "Good morning, Branchifer," in a morning voice that only he gets to hear."Good morning," he whispered back as he gently combed her hair with his fingers. "Still sleepy?" Poppy gave him a thumbs up in response.
Her eyes were still closed. "I think I might have to kiss you so you can fully wake up." Branch replied, pinning Poppy down from under him. "Yeah buddy I'm sure that would work." Poppy joked as her hand played with his messy hair.
Branch couldn't resist but to kiss his girlfriend any chance he could get. Slow, yet passionate. He found himself on top of the pink haired troll, and he dug his hands into her in love with her, was such a strong wave of emotion that he couldn't control, yet once at his fingertips he dealt with it so delicately, so fragile, as if it would break into millions of pieces if he was too careless.
Branch eventually broke the kiss both staring at each other nothing but love between the. "So are you awake now?" Branch asked as he pulled Poppy's hair out of her face. "Oh I'm ready to start our day." Poppy replied smiling up at him. She tried moving around from under him to get up but he wouldn't let her go just yet.
"Come on, I have to get dressed and make breakfast for us." Poppy whined a bit. The teal troll just shook his head. "You don't need to get dressed right now." Branch protested as he was kissing her neck trying to convince her to stay. Poppy laughed heartily. Her whole body laughed with her, and she was happy, and content, and so consumed with love. She grabbed Branch by the shoulder and kissed him. Hard, then soft, then long and deep.
When they pulled away, Poppy was looking at him like she had just fallen in love with him all over again. She sighed happily. "I guess we can stay for about five more minutes." Poppy announced giving into her boyfriend's charm. "Five more minutes?" Branch mumbles, kissing her temple very glad that he was able to persuade her to stay in bed longer. A relaxed smile forming on Poppy's face, she snuggle into his side and agree "Five more minutes". It was more than five minutes.
