Branch's arms wrapped around The Pop Queen's small frame tightly, not wanting to let her go. He tried not to hug her too hard, knowing that his strong arm could possibly hurt her. The teal troll looked down at her, a small smile on his face.
"You're so beautiful…" Branch whispered in her ear as Poppy blushed.
"And you're just so damn attractive…" The Pop Queen smirked as Branch smiled widely.
"You know I love you, right?" He asked her, lifting her up to carry her bridal style.
"I thought you hated me," Queen Poppy smirked, playing fake sorrow as she looked into his eyes.
The teal troll let out a small chuckle as he pecked her forehead. "Of course I hate you." Branch played a fake look of innocence as he looked sideways, then down at her.
"If you hate me, why are you carrying me?" The Pop Queen asked, raising an eyebrow at him.
"You want me to just drop you then?" Branch asked her, lifting her higher, then letting go of her. Before she could hit the ground he wrapped his arms around her again.
"Don't you ever do that again!" The Pop Queen yelped as she lightly punched him in the arm.
"Hey, that hurt," Branch gave her a fake frown as she smiled widely.
"Good. I wanted it too." Her tone wasn't harsh or rude, it was more of a squeak of victory.
"Well, sense you wanted it to hurt, maybe, just maybe, I should drop you…" His lips turned up and into a smirk as Poppy hurriedly gripped the back of his neck with her arms.
"You wouldn't!"
"Oh yes I would!" Branch laughed as he removed one of his hands from her back.
"Branchifer Please, you put your arm back so I don't fall or no cuddling for a week!" The Pop Queen yelped as she gripped him tighter.
"Well, I don't follow rules. Sucks to be you…" The teal troll smirked as he gave her a small kiss on the forehead, setting her back on the ground.
"You little rebel." Queen Poppy chuckled as she pushed her finger onto his nose.
"I try my best." The teal troll smiled at her, giving Poppy a small kiss on the lips.
