Purple with envy Pt5 Creek and Branch

Chapter five:

Three days after spending the night with Branch the sparkling troll was trying to pick out a box of chocolates as a gift for the troll he was dating, Guy was reading each of the boxes carefully to find out what chocolates they contain so that he could make the best choice possible. The sparkling troll was rather nervous about his choice as this was going to be his first gift to the other male troll and he wanted it to be absolutely perfect. The shimmering troll has no doubt that the survivalist would enjoy dark chocolate the most, after a while he found a box which contained a selection of soft centred orange, mint, coffee and strawberry flavoured dark chocolates. This selection sounded ideal to Guy, smiling to himself the sparkling troll picked this box off of the shelves, then he made his way over to the shop owner and addressed the female troll behind the counter politely. “Can you gift wrap this for me?”

“Of course, what paper would you like for your gift?” She asked him with a smile.

Guy looked over at the gift paper on offer and then he selected a simple silver paper which he felt Branch would appreciate. “That one please and I’d like just a simple bow on the top please, in a teal ribbon if you have some.”

“That’s not a problem.” The owner of the shop told him, she wraps the box of chocolates efficiently, she pulls out some teal ribbon, puts it around the box and then ties it into a simple bow. “Is this what you had in mind?”

“Yes, it’s perfect thank you.” Guy told her gratefully, before he paid for his gift for Branch and made his way out of the shop into the village. The sparkling troll carefully put the box of chocolates into his hair, he hummed happily to himself, Guy was totally unaware of Creek’s grey blue eyes watching him or of the envy which the purple troll felt towards him for being in a romantic relationship with Branch. The guru knew that the grey troll was an inexperienced innocent and he wanted to be the one introducing him to new and wonderful experiences as his boyfriend rather than the shimmering troll. Creek was well aware that he had no hope of being able to do this at this time, not only was Branch dating Guy, but they were apparently happy together something which the purple troll had never thought could possibly happen in a relationship which involved the survivalist as part of the couple in question.

Creek didn’t just envy Guy, he also envied Poppy too, he envied her for being able to be friends with Branch, his relationship with the grey troll was well terrible and he knew that this was mostly his own fault. The spiritual troll decided that he should at least try befriending Branch, if they become closer then maybe the survivalist would start to see him as a viable romantic alternative to Guy. The more that Creek thought about it the better this idea seemed to him, he highly doubted that any other form of approached would work with Branch as the survivalist was to wary of him.

Quickly the guru made his way back to his pod wondering as he walked along how he could start to build a better relationship with Branch, he knew an apology would probably be a good start, but at the same time Creek thought he needed to do something more than give Branch an apology and he began to think that maybe a gift would be a good idea. The purple troll paced around his pod wondering what gift he could get for the grey troll, then slowly an idea comes to him, he could make a gift it would be far more personal that way and he felt that Branch would probably appreciate that more than something shop brought. As Creek continued to pace around the main room of his pod, he wracked his mind for an idea of what he could make for the grey troll, the guru felt it had to be a gift which Branch would find useful or it wouldn’t be accepted by him which caused quiet the conundrum for him. After spending some more time pacing the pod thinking over gift options for the survivalist slowly inspiration struck him. Quickly the purple troll went over to a shelf were there was his collection of glass bottles, Creek carefully chose from them a sapphire blue bottle, with a simple round stopper, around its cylindrical body were silver leafy branches. “Perfect.” Creek said to himself, before he took it over to a work top and started to work on his gift for the survivalist.


Branch had very much enjoyed the box of chocolates from Guy, when the sparkling troll had asked him if he liked dark chocolate, the survivalist had assured the other troll truethfully that he loved dark chocolate. The grey troll had never tried soft centred chocolates before and had found that he really enjoyed the soft centred chocolates and their flavours, Branch really hoped that Guy would get him another box of them sometime soon. A polite but firm knocking on the hatch to the bunker drew his attention away from these thoughts, the survivalist made his way up out of the bunker to see which troll would be out here in the forest knocking politely on his bunker hatch. Branch opened up the hatch, he poked his head out of the hatch, then carefully looked around the clearing, there was no troll there, but he noticed a bottle with a note propped against it in the clearing around his home.

The grey troll took one last look around the clearing for the troll who had left him this gift, but there was still no sign of any troll in the area. So Branch pulled himself out of the bunker, he walked over to the bottle, the survivalist picked up the bottle as well as the note. The grey troll looked at the bottle, it was truly lovely Branch found himself entranced by it for a few moments and then he pulled his attention away from the blue bottle and to the note which had been left with it. Carefully the survivalist put the bottle into his hair so he wouldn’t break it, he then opened the note and read the words written in it to himself. ‘Branch, I wish to be friends with you. I know we do not have the best past relationship, but I know I am mostly to blame for that and I wish to make up to you for this. I hope you will accept this gift as an apology, it is a special oil mixture which will help to ease aching muscles, which I think you will find useful. From Creek.’

Branch is so surprised by this thoughtful gesture on the part of a troll who had hated him for so long that the survivalist stands in the clearing glued to the spot for few moments, eventually the grey troll surfaced from his shock, he put the note into his hair and then made his way back down into the bunker. Branch carefully closed the bunker back up behind him, then made his way into the main room of the bunker, he walked across the room to his desk, once there the survivalist carefully stored the note from the purple troll away in one of the draws in his desk.

With this taken care of Branch made his way to a comfortable chair, he sat down, took the bottle from his hair, took the stopper out and sniffed the oil within. It smelt good, at first Branch was a little sure about using it, but as he sniffed it again the grey troll began to identify some of the scents and realised that it was highly unlikely that the bottle contained anything which would actually harm him. Still the survivalist being as cautious as he was, Branch got up from his chair, he ran a few tests on the oil within the blue glass bottle and when all of these proved that the oils were not harmful the grey troll sat back down, took off his leaf vest and worked it into the areas of his body which ached.

After the grey troll had done this he went to bed from the night, when Branch woke up the next morning he was pleased to find that the oil from Creek had worked and he no longer ached. This fact made the survivalist decide that next time he met the spiritual troll he would tell him he accepted his peace offering, thank him for it and tell Creek that it had worked well for him. Sure enough two days later when Branch had seen the guru out in the forest he had done all of this and after this the two male trolls began to spend time together so that they could become friends.


Two days after Creek had brought the gift to the grey troll Guy and Branch were on another of their dates, tonight they had eaten dinner in the sparkling troll’s pod, the grey troll had to admit he had been impressed by Guy’s cooking ability and as they sat with an arm around each other on the sofa after the meal Branch complimented the other troll on his cooking skills. “That was a wonderful meal Guy, I had no idea you could cook so well.”

“Thank you Branch I am glad you enjoyed it. I am hoping you will be willing to spend the night with me again tonight.”

The survivalist was thrilled by the idea of spending the night with Guy again. “I’d like that very much Guy.”

“Good I am glad to hear it.” As the shimming troll said this a low note crept into his voice as he was looking forward to being able to show Branch more pleasure tonight.

As night drew in Guy stood up, he turned back towards the grey troll, he lifted the other male troll up into his arms and then carried him into his bedroom. Once they were inside his room, Guy used his foot to close the door behind them, he then carried Branch over to the bed, lowered him onto it so that Branch was sitting in the middle of his bed and a few moments the shimmering troll then followed him onto the bed. Gently the sparkling troll took the leaf vest off of the grey troll, he threw it onto the floor, Guy ran his fingers into the black hair of Branch and then kissed gently on the lips. The survivalist returned this kiss, he brought his hands up onto the back of the sparkling troll, and then let out a noise of bliss as he enjoying being kissed by Guy. Slowly the shimmering troll ran his tongue over the lips of the grey troll, Branch feels thrills run through him as Guy does this to him, he opened his mouth and he gasped through his nose as the sparkling troll’s tongue enters his mouth and presses against his.

Guy feels pleased with himself when the innocent in his arms lets out a less then innocent moan of desire as he kisses him like this. Gently the sparkling troll still kissing Branch lowered him down onto his back on his bed, as Guy did this he made sure his legs were between those of the grey troll and that their hip areas were touching. As the survivalist felt this he gasped through his nose again, he wasn’t used to such close or intimate contact, but it felt very good and Branch didn’t want him to stop. Guy breaks the kiss for a few moments so that both of them can catch their breath, then the shimmering troll brought his lips back to those of the grey troll, he gently pushed his tongue back into Branch’s mouth, he moaned again and this time as Guy pushed his tongue against the survivalist’s the grey troll started to respond pushing his back against that of the other male troll. Wanting Branch to know he was pleased with him doing this Guy let out a hum off pleasure and kissed him a little harder.

The grey troll was loving every moment of this experience, he feels very alive right now and is encourage by the sparkling troll’s response to what he did that Branch slowly moved one of his hands off of Guys back and into his grey hair stroking his fingers through it. The shimmering troll shivered with pleasure, he let out a groan of desire, Guy hadn’t expected Branch to learn so quickly, but at the same time the sparkling troll wasn’t to surprised to discover that the troll he was dating was a fast learner, after all if the survivalist wasn’t quick to learn he would never have survived going out into the wild for as long as he had. Slowly the two male trolls broke this kiss, Guy didn’t ask to take off Branch’s shorts this time, he trusted that when he was ready for that the grey troll would tell him so.

After a few moments of staring at each other in silence Guy and Branch broke their embrace, the sparkling toll moved so that he was no longer laying between the legs of the grey troll but beside him. Neither troll said a word, they just lay there staring into each other’s eye’s as they let themselves bathe in the feelings of bliss this night had given them. Eventually Branch and Guy moved they got under the sheets of the shimmering troll’s bed, the survivalist drew the sheets back up over them, he nuzzled close to Guy, who put his arms around him and they fell asleep like this both of them feeling perfect contentment with their situation.
