Bendy's Perspective

I stared up at my idol's face and blushed when he petted me and smiled. "So Bends, are you feeling alright today? Do you feel sick?" He asked me and I played with my tail. "I'm f-fine Mr. Felix! I'm glad you're concerned though." I said in a shy voice and smiled to myself. He purred quietly and I looked up at him. "Do you want to wear my hat?" He asked and I purred loudly. "Yes please!" I said excitedly and he carefully took off my goggles before placing his hat on my head. My tail wagged quickly and I smiled. He returned the smile warmly and pulled me in to his lap. I sat in his lap and got comfortable. "You're really amazing..." I said and he chuckled. "I don't know about that, but I'm flattered." He said and I leaned back on his chest. I felt his paws hold mind and relaxed. I snuggled up to the handsome cat and breathed quietly. I closed my eyes and felt his arms wrap around me. I purred and relaxed more in his arms. I knoe he doesn't like me... But... I can still dream.

"Are you still tired?" Felix asked me and I nodded. "You can sleep in my lap if you want." He told me and I got comfortable. "Thanks...." I said as I dozed off.

A Few Minutes Later

I yelped when I felt a sudden pain on my forehead. I opened my eyes and saw that Cuphead had flicked my forehead. I felt the grass under me and sighed. I sat up and noticed Cup was in possession of my goggles. I reached for them and he chuckled. He pulled them away. "Give them back!" I said and he stuck his tongue out. "No way shortie, you're funny when you're angry." He said and I growled. He stood up and raised them to where I couldn't ever reach them. I then got a brilliant idea and stood up. "If you don't give me those right now, I'm gonna punch your nuts as hard as I can." I said and balled my hand up in to a fist. He quickly dropped the goggles and fled the scene. I giggled to myself and picked up my goggles. I situated them comfortably on top of my head and noticed Cup was bored. I rolled my eyes and ignored him, seeming as he is always threatening me and acting like a bully anyway. I pulled out my magic map and looked for the next direction we would need to go. I got out my compass and angrily growled when Cup yanked it from my grip and played with it.

I growled at him with a scowl visible on my face and noticed he seemed worried. I tilted my head for a moment and shivered as he pulled me in to his lap. I felt really cold and my stomach started churning violently. "Shhh, it's alright shortie." He said and I buried my face in his red sweater jacket. I knew ink was beginning to fall down my face, but the comforting was strangely nice. I hugged him and tried to even my shaky breathing as he rubbed my back. "I-It huurts..." I whined out, feeling the first of the mind numbing pain I was going to go through. I relaxed as much as I could in the moment when he held me close and kept me warm. "A-Ah-!" I tensed up and puked when ink forced its way out of my throat. I whimpered and clung to Cup's sweater while shaking violently. I squeaked when he took me off and gave me to Boris. I coughed and teared up as my chest seared with pain. I reached for Cup and saw that he had a closed-off and apologetic expression. I whimpered and leaned back on Boris who immediately started cleaning my inky face.

A Few Painful Minutes Later

I coughed up the last of the ink in my throat and saw that Cup was still there, just sitting.... Looking upset? I wiped my mouth and slowly slinked over with shaky legs. I sat in front of him and he looked away from me. "Hey Cup?" I asked in a bit of a try and raspy voice. "Yeah..?" He replied and I looked up at the blonde cup. "Why did you push me away?" I asked and he frowned. "I just... I'm not supposed to be your comforter...." He said and I turned his head so I could see his expression. He seemed distressed and only a little sorry. "Cup, please just be yourself, it's alright." I told him and he sighed. "That's easy for you to say, but I can't do that." He said and got up. I huffed and got up as well. "Fine!" I said and stormed off to the front of the group where we would continue. Cuphead held Mug's hand, as if he needed comfort. I hissed under my breath and crossed my arms. I walked with Boris who now had the map and noticed he was looking me concerned. "It's nothin'." I told him and adjusted my goggles. I put my hands in my pockets and sighed. "I just... Want Cuphead to be who he really is." I told Boris and he nodded. "I do too, he seems nice on the inside." Boris said and I yawned. "Yeah."
