Hazbin/Helluva Ink Edition: Book of Amore

Knight in Shining Armor (Bendy x Moxxie)

Bendy's been in some of the most bizarre situations while on the job, but nothing could top this. He was on a job with Moxxie and Millie, having to assassinate a corrupt billionaire playboy, and in the frenzy to escape, he and Moxxie found themselves lost in a garden maze. To make matters worse, the target's were out in the maze with them, hunting them down. Currently, Bendy was hiding out with Moxxie, who was worried to death about the whereabouts of his wife.

Bendy: Of all the times for my phone to die, it had to be now.

Moxxie: *hits his shoulder* Never mind that, I can't believe you forgot the silencer!

Bendy: Well, at least we got him.

Moxxie: Yeas, but that wouldn't matter if we die by the target's thugs. Getting back to the current problem, please tell me you see Millie.

Bendy: No, but it's clear, come on.

The two demons snuck through the multiple corridors made of shrubbery as they attempted to reunite with Millie somehow. However, as they cut through another aisle of bushes, a flashlight beam made them freeze.

???: Hey, you hear that?

Bendy: Go back, go back!

Moxie did so, though Bendy wasn't as lucky as he stepped into another henchman's view.

Thug: I got'em!

Moxie: Oh, crumbs!

Bendy: *to Moxxie* Ruuuu-*starts to inhale* uuun!

Bendy and Moxxie both sprinted as he opened fire. Moxxie proved to be faster as he sped ahead of the Overlord.

Bendy: Moxxie, keep running! Don't stop for--AH!

Bendy shrieked as he tripped. Later finding that a bullet hit his leg, ink oozing from the small hole. Moxxie skidded to a stop, looking back in panic as the man stood over one of his lovers.

Thug: *chuckles* Say goodbye fucker, you messed with the wrong house.

Before he could pull the trigger, he yelled in alarm as Moxxie tackled him. Bendy took notice of Moxxie's appearance, he was snarling as his fangs were exposed, his normally pointed looking fingers actually took the appearance of claws, and his eyes glowed an eerie acidic yellow.

Thug: Wh-What the hell, there's more of you?

Moxxie: Don't you dare fucking touch him!!

He then shocked Bendy as he lunged at the thug, sinking his teeth deep into his throat. Bendy couldn't do anything as he was frozen in fear as he watched the imp quickly pull back, leaving a gaping hole in his neck. Bendy gagged as the thug let out a garbled scream of horror as blood spwed from his mouth, but Moxxie showed no sign of stopping as he unleashed a series of feral growls and slashed his face with his claws.

Bendy: Moxxie! Moxxie, stop!

He tried to call out to him, but Moxxie continued his carnage. Bendy grabbed his pen and spawned a tentacle to wrangle Moxxie away from the man. He latched on as he attempted to keep scratching him.

Bendy: Stop it! *voice wavering* Stop, he's already dead!

Moxxie was pulled to Bendy, but he kept squirming and growling, trying to claw at the corpse. Bendy pulled Moxxie into a hold to restrain him, His growls became a bit quieter as Bendy rubbed his back and held him close.

Bendy: It's okay, Moxxie. He's dead, I'm okay. It's over, you killed him. Just please, snap out of it.

After a few moments of hugging and Bendy talking to him, Moxie finally stopped growling, panting as his tantrum settled down and his eyes stopped glowing.

Moxxie: He...He needed to pay, Bendy. He hurt you...

Bendy: Hey, I can handle myself Mox. I'm a tough Toon. Besides, I have regenerative healing. I'll be fine.

Moxxie: Okay... But I'll feel better once that wound is healed up.

Bendy: Oh, it'll just close by itself. But, if you want... you could put a band-aid on it?

Moxxie smiled and rolled his eyes as he rolled up Bendy's pant leg, checking the wound.

Moxxie: You're lucky the bullet went clean through your leg instead of getting lodged in there. Who knows what would happen if you tried to heal with a bullet in your leg.

Bendy: I dunno. By the way, could you be a dear and explain what the fuck was that?! It was like you went crazy on that guy or something! I mean, Jesus fuck, you tried to claw his face out!

Moxxie: Oh, that. I... Well, have you ever heard of when a demon goes feral?

Bendy: Feral? Yeah, I've seen Lobo and Crymini do it sometimes in a fight and Husk did one time when Matilda wwas getting touched by some perv, but I thought that only happened to animal demons or hell hounds.

Moxxie: Well, yes but also no. You see, Imps can go feral just like any other demon. It's just that others don't perceive imps as able to go feral as we try to keep ourselves composed, to try to make us seem better than the higher-ups see us. But, the harsh truth is anything can trigger it and you won't realize it until it's too late.

Bendy: Triggers? Like ones for a panic attack?

Moxxie: Exactly.

Bendy: What triggers are there? I've only seen the one from Lobo, when he gets really pissed or caught up into an intense fight.

Moxxie: That's the tricky part, it's different for each demon. Most of the time it's certain drugs, like crystal meth or even coke. For me and maybe Lobo, it's being under massive amounts of emotional stress. Example being seeing someone I care about getting hurt.

Bendy: Wow, I mean if it was Millie I would understand, but why snap for my sake?

Moxxie: You may not be her and we might not have known each other as long, but I still love you. Same thing with Charlie and Vaggie. All things considered, you'd do the same for them.

Bendy: Yeah, but you didn't have to go cannibal on the poor bastard.

Moxxie tore off one of the tails of his coat and wrapped it around Bendy's bullet hole. He finishes explaining as ties the knot.

Moxxie: It's his own fault that you got hurt, therefore he had it coming. I'd hate it if anything happened to you. But, I'm sorry you had to see that.

Bendy: What, no don't be. I'm not disgusted with you. Well, I was in pain, horrified, traumatized and possibly aroused by it, but not disgusted. Moxxie, you basically saved my life. Who knows what else that guy had.

Moxxie smiled, but was startled as the bushes next to them started to shake. With an alarmed shout, Millie fell near Bendy.

Millie: Ow! Stupid damn branches. *pulls twig out of hair* About time I found you guys.

Bendy: Millie! Thank god you're OK.

Millie: Of course I am...what happened to you?!

Moxxie: He got shot by one of the target's thugs.

Millie nodded, but then noticed the body behind them.

Millie: *worried* Mox, did you go feral again?

Moxxie: I-I guess I did, he shot Bendy and I lost it. I didn't think I'd react like that.

Bendy: Like I said, it's fine. You did all that to protect me.

Millie: Well, looks like the job is done. C'mon boys, let's head back to home.

The portal opened up near the body as Millie jumped through. Moxxie stayed behind to help Bendy to his feet.

Moxxie: Are you alright, can you walk?

Bendy: It doesn't hurt too much, I can stand but--Whoa!

Before he could fall to the floor, Moxie caught Bendy and helped him walk to the portal. The two smiled at each other as they stepped through, awaiting the next job Blitz would assign to them. But, not before Moxxie received a few reward worthy smooches from his Overlord boyfriend that is.

THE END
