The beams of early sunlight hit Branch's face as it forced him awake. The teal troll yawned and tried to make sense of his surroundings. Before being able to shift, he registered a weight on his body. Poppy was holding onto him in her sleep, head tucked into the crook of his neck and legs intertwined with his. The Pop Queen breathed lightly, with her breaths tickling his neck. Branch smiled, clearing her face of Pink restless hair that attempted to conceal it. The teal troll lightly pressed butterfly kisses all over her head, careful to not wake her up. After what felt to be the eighth kiss, a tiny smirk adorned Poppy's face as she stirred, attempting to hide.
"I know you're up, can't trick me." The teal troll commented softly, slowly tracing her left ear with his finger, and watching as her body shivered underneath their blanket.
"Aw, you're no fun." Poppy replied sleepily, cracking her eyes halfway open, enough to look at her lover and pout playfully.
"Good morning to you too." Branch soaked into the warmth of the pink troll's body as he sat up after pressing another kiss onto her head, Poppy following suit in the change of position. It was their first time in three weeks that they had been free for a day, and the couple wanted to take advantage of their lazy day.
"We should get up for breakfast soon." The Pop Queen yawned before shifting her weight back onto Branch.
"I'll make us pancakes, but later," the teal troll yawned as the two sank back into their originally horizontal position, "for now, let's stay in bed, haven't felt this comfy in a long while."
"I'm looking forward to that, but I'm also looking forward to morning cuddles." The Pop Queen smiled as she followed suit, returning to affectionately clinging onto him. The pair held each other under soft blankets as sleep threatened to overtake them, eventually snatching them into blissful slumber as the sun continued to rise.
