Honestly, branch couldn’t understand why you would decide to try and spend time with him instead of going to the ‘big party’ poppy was setting up. It’s like she wanted to get everyone killed! Yet here you were, sitting nestled up on his bed well he fuses over the food supply.

Branch wasn’t exactly happy to have visitors, but you made him feel weak in the knees. Of course he let you in. He tried to seem irritated and upset- but he just couldn’t! So he opted for just flat out ignoring you. Great idea. Guess what? He couldn’t. “Don’t you have anything better to do instead of bothering me? Like going to that stupid death trap of a party-“ Branch huffs out, grumbling.

But his words are cut short when the bunker shakes and the ground rumbles. In an instant, branch is on the lift and peaking out into the area. Bright lights and loud music- plus a Bergen. A BERGEN! He knew this was gonna happen. Thankfully he was prepared- but.. not for you. He couldn’t just shove you out into the danger now could he? With a groan, he shuts the peephole and lowers the lift back down to the lowest level to check on you. You looked terrified.

“Hey- hey calm down! You’re safe, just stay quiet and away from the hatch and we’ll be fine!” He hisses out, shushing you with his hand in a panicked manner.
