#Floyd calls him Branch but that's because he won't admit when Branch was a baby he would address him solely with cooing and babbling

All the brothers have unique names for Branch since he's the babiest brother, Branch cannot fight this

I had a bit of a messed up thought👀

What if Branch found out about their little "sleep secret" but kept quiet about it until he could slide it to the four of them. I just picture the four older brothers waking up with their hands tied at the bottom of the bunker and a Branch in front of them saying,

"Do you all think I'm an idiot?"

Cause like, Branch has gotta be sus! His sleep schedule suddenly and permanently changed out of nowhere? But I love the idea of Branch being equally as unstable as his family,

"Why do you have a secret basement you didn't tell anyone about?"

"Don't worry about it"

He doesn't change out of nowhere, he did it gradually, enough so that Branch won't notice it and when he does he just thinks that maybe he's more at peace with himself (a little, he still has a lot to address).

But oh oh ooooh, when he realizes, when he finds out, he'll be very confused, I don't know if it's possible but he'll go through all the stages of grief, because, why would his brothers drug him, and he'd realize that it's only at dinner for him to sleep.

He devised a plan to find out why, a small part of him believed it was for his health, it wouldn't be the first time they try to give him something for his sleep problems, either he sleeps little or no sleep, he hopes that is the case and that his siblings have a valid reason, betrayal, they have it, but not the one Branch expected.

He managed to skip dinner one night and pretended to be tired enough that his siblings wouldn't be suspicious, and went to bed, nothing happened for at least 1 hour, he was starting to believe it was just his paranoia, when the door opened.

And Floyd came in, sat on the bed next to Branch, and ran his hand through Branch's hair, Branch was turning his back to him, so he didn't see Floyd's face, but he did hear him shutting up the others. Lyego Floyd lay down and started singing a lullaby, Branch was confused and somewhat scared.

"He looks like a baby, because he can't stay like this forever, just like that, calm and innocent" Bruce's voice startled him a little, Floyd hugged him and stroked his head trying to make him sleep

"hehe yes, be so calm, he must be very tired" was Clay this time "what the hell did that silly queen do?" Clay sounded annoyed

"Who cares, if things go on like this Bitty B doesn't need that so-called friend, when he can have us his best and magnificent brothers, who love him and protect him" John Dory's hand stroked his hair "We're the best choice, baby Branch will notice"

If Branch felt sick, he now believes Creek was right about his brothers, and he hates to admit that.

And if maybe I don't think Branch did something so, you can call it drastic??, but I don't think he will attract his brothers and try to beat the truth out of him (although funny series), but yes Branch is almost as emal as his brothers, but not in that way so I see him trying to be smarter so that others realize the truth and when that doesn't work

Well, Branch always has contingency plans (one of them is to run away but that's a last resort, which if it ends up happening)
