Poppy lays in her bed sick. Her hair is a mess. There are bags under her eyes. Her nose is blocked. Her body is cold yet hot in temperature. She is in her cozy pajamas. The blanket covers her up and she basically snuggles it. Then suddenly the Queen sneezed loudly. She grabs a tissue from the tissue box on the nightstand. Branch quickly comes into her bedroom. The sick troll sits up and looks at her boyfriend.

"You okay, Pops?", Branch asks worried.

Poppy nods her head to her boyfriend then blows her nose. After Branch found out she was sick this morning he canceled his whole day plans then came to take care of her immediately! The blue troll is stressed and worried about her. Poppy is his girlfriend after all. Branch walks over to Poppy as she quickly throws the tissue away in the bin right next her bed. Branch moved it there for in case she felt like throwing up.

" I hate being sick...",Poppy comments lowly to herself unhappily.

" Well you shouldn't had danced and sung in the rain for so long but, it's too late now to focus on that.", Branch replies honestly.

The Queen just rolls her eyes with a grumpy expression. She couldn't help herself yesterday. It started raining while she and Branch were taking a walk and she just broke out into song. Branch chased after her as she was dancing away with his umbrella. Back then everything was fine til she found herself sick. Dr Moonbloom was here earlier and said Poppy would be fine and that she needed some TLC. Obviously Branch was up to the task.

" Need anything before I go back to making your soup?", Branch asks caringly and a little worried.

" No Branchie,I'm fine. You don't need to hover so much. ", Poppy says honestly and a little annoyed.

" I don't hover!", Branch replies unhappily.

Then the blue man goes back to the kitchen to check on his soup. Poppy just grabs one of her stuffed animals close to her and hugs it as she says " Yes,you do..." blankly to herself. Honestly Poppy doesn't mind it when she's sick but, she isn't a little trolling. She had been sick before. She just didn't like being sick. Nobody likes being sick.

" Heard that. ", Branch calls out from the kitchen.

In the kitchen,Branch slowly stirs the soup with a wooden spoon. It smells wonderful as he looks at it approvingly. He smiles at the soup when he gives it one last stir. Branch hopes this soup will make Poppy feel better. It always worked for him when he was sick and his grandma took care of him. Rosiepuff was better at cooking than baking in general.

" And done. ", Branch says to himself.

The mixed music troll quickly removes the wooden spoon from the pot then turns off the stove. He puts the spoon down on the counter. He is just about to get a bowl when suddenly he hears a loud thump! Branch immediately dashes out the kitchen worried to his sick girlfriend forgetting about the soup!

A few moments later,Branch has Poppy back in bed sitting up nicely and comfortably. She accidentally fell out of bed trying get something that was out of her reach. Branch checks Poppy's arms for marks and bruising but, luckily she had none.

" Branch,I'm fine. I just fell out of bed. No harm done. ", Poppy reassures happily.

" You should be more careful. ", Branch replies.

Poppy looks at Branch as he then goes to get her soup. She can tell he is stressed over her being sick. She doesn't want him to be so stressed. The pink troll won't love him less for toning it down a little. Sometimes the Queen would wish that Branch would just relax more. It's not like she's going to die soon.

Within a minute Branch comes back with a tray that has a bowl of soup on it. He places it on the sick troll's lap. The royal smiles at her boyfriend for being so thoughtful. She is glad that he decided to spend the day taking care of her.

" Thanks Branchie. You know can relax. I won't mind you needing a break. ", Poppy says kindly.

" No,you need to be taken care of. ", Branch says caringly and serious.

" Fine. Then at least sit next to me and watch a movie. ", Poppy says kindly and trying to be convincing.

Then she gives him the adorable puppy eyes that Branch can't say no to. Their his weakness. The blue troll breaks within a tough minute and sighs in defeat. Who could say "No" to those eyes? Their too adorable and powerful. Luckily for Branch Poppy doesn't do it all the time therefore he's safe.

" Fine. ", Branch says happily defeated.

The sick pink troll just smiles happily and pats on the bed. Her puppy eyes had went away quickly since she has victory. Puppy Eyes will always be her secret weapon. Branch just playfully folds his arms and rolls his eyes with a subtle smile on his face. The blue male slowly sits down next to his beloved Queen on her Queen sized bed. He grabs the TV remote and turns the TV on. Poppy starts eating her yummy soup happily. She loves how good it tastes.

" So which movie you want to watch?", Branch asks happily.

" How about that new movie called "Open Hearts"? I heard Nova Swift killed it by Satin and Chenille. ", Poppy suggests happily.

Branch nods his head to her smiling softly then turns his attention back to the TV in the room. He slowly searches for the movie in Catchup. He quickly finds of course since it was in the first movie selection page. Branch quietly presses on the remote to play it as he feels a light tap on his shoulder.

" Hey Branch?",Poppy says softly.

Branch turns his head to Poppy. He notices the soft look on her face and her gentle smile. Even when she is sick she is still beautiful to him. The movie loads quietly as Branch and Poppy look at each for a brief and sweet moment.

" Thankyou for staying to take care of me. I really appreciate it. ", Poppy says softly.

" There is nowhere else I rather be. ", Branch replies sweetly and softly.

Branch slept over that night but, the next day Poppy was better and he had caught her bug. Poppy happily returned the favour of him taking care of her by giving him some TLC. Nothing could take away the love and care the couple shared.
