This is Au number 6 with Bendy and Henry.
Now there's just numbers 4 and 8 left.


Henry had lived in this house for a week now, and of course nothing out of the ordinary had happened. Just because his house was isolated in the middle of the forest with a few mile long path to get out, didn't mean something weird had to happen.
No, nothing weird had to happen. But it's not like Henry waking up to a dead deer carcass a few meters behind his house was weird.
Henry went to check it out, assuming it had been the victim of some wolves, a cougar, or possibly a bear. He wrinkled his nose at the awful smell.
There were huge claw marks in its side. That was not a wolf, bear or cougar, but whatever it was, Henry suddenly felt very unsafe.
"I'm just gonna go back inside." He muttered to himself. A thunderstorm was coming on. There was the snap of something stepping on a twig behind him.
Henry turned around, heart hammering in his chest. The deer carcass was gone! Henry's eyes followed a trail of blood, that led to behind a tree.
Whatever it was, was right behind that tree. Henry debated on whether to run or not. A tail whipped in and out of sight for a second.
Henry ran back to his house and locked the door. That tail! It looked like a thin whip-like tail with a triangular point at the end.
Henry had only ever heard one animal with a tail like that, and it wasn't even an animal. "No Henry, your eyes are tricking you, there is no way that was a demon." Henry muttered to himself.
His radio flashed on, blaring out words. "THERES BEEN A SLIGHT CHANGE IN WEATHER, A TORNADO IS IN COMING TO-" Henry listened as it stated it was coming to where he was.
Then his mind slipped back to the demon. He should help it. No! But it would die if he didn't. But you'll die if you do!
Henry argued with himself. He sighed, throwing his door open and running back toward the trees. To his surprise, the demon was still hiding behind the tree, probably eating its deer.
Henry felt like everything went numb as he approached the demon. This was so stupid, he was so dead.
He turned around and felt shocked at what he saw. And eight foot tall demon covered in ink, and he wasn't eating the deer at all, he was feeding it into the hollow of the tree where a pack of wolves hid. He was helping them. Henry felt a bit less scared.
"Hey!" He called.
The demon turned to him and hissed, guarding the wolves. "I-it's okay, I-I won't hurt a-anybody, I c-can bet I'm m-more scared than y-you right now!" Henry said shakily.
Bendy could sense how terrified Henry was. Then why did he come up to him. He stayed around humans mostly to learn their language, but he never got near one before.
"C-can you understand me?" Henry asked. Bendy nodded. "T-there's a tornado that's coming this way, and it'll kill you for sure, I-I saw you a little while ago and wanted to help you." Henry explained.
"Why would ya want ta help me?" Bendy asked. "I...I don't know, I just do, but please you need to hurry or else you'll die, and these guys too." Henry pleaded. Bendy could see how genuine Henry was.
"They'll be very safe in here." Bendy said. He stood straight and walked over to Henry. He led the way back to his house.
"Incase ya aren't tryin ta help me and are tryin ta kill me or capture me, I'm tellin ya right now it ain't gonna work." Bendy said.
"Of course not, wait...people have tried to do that to you before?" Henry asked. "Yeah, then I killed em." Bendy chuckled.
"Well I would never do that, I mostly moved here because I really love animals, I couldn't kill one myself." Henry said.
Bendy had begun to really like this man, he was so kind and honestly kind of seemed fragile. But looks can really be deceiving.
Especially in Bendy's case. He may be eight feet tall with a terrifying grin and sharp claws, but he was actually super kind and gentle.
And Henry, he seemed to be the first one to understand this. It warmed his heart. "Have you ever experienced a tornado before?" Henry asked. "Yes, when I was smaller and could fit with the wolves in their den, but now I have no where safe to go." Bendy said.
"Well...I've never been in one before but there was this cellar thing for tornadoes installed in my house, because apparently, the house is too weak itself to last during a tornado." Henry said.
They went inside and that's when the alarm went off, signalling get in the cellar or die! The heavy stone doors were close shut, leaving them in a small dark stone cellar.
Henry could hear tearing and wind, things smashing everywhere. He was terrified if those doors had the possibility of flinging open.
He curled in on himself, resting his head on his knees. But then he felt a pair of arms wrap around him.
He was pulled into Bendy's lap and was being hugged. "W-what are you doing?" He asked. "Ya looked scared." Bendy replied.
"I'm not scared-"
SMASH
Henry yelped and gripped more tightly onto Bendy as something smashed against the doors. "Sure." Bendy said sarcastically.
It had been a little while, and everything suddenly seemed so still. Bendy stood and pushed the heavy doors open, helping Henry out.
Henry's mouth fell open. His house was just gone. "Holy shit." He muttered. "That...woah." Bendy said. Henry fell to his knees.
"My home...everything's destroyed." Henry said in almost a whisper. Bendy felt bad for him. "Hey, I'm sure everythin'll work out." Bendy said gently, sitting down beside him.
"What am I supposed to do?! My home is destroyed beyond repair, and I have nowhere to go! I-" Henry was cut off by Bendy grabbing his face.
"Calm down, okay?" He said. "I can't just calm down! What the hell am I supposed to do?!" Henry whined, looking as if he might cry.
Bendy hugged him. Henry started hyperventilating. That was bad, so Bendy did the one thing he could think of, he kissed Henry.
Now Henry stopped breathing, which was even worse. He stared at Bendy in confusion. "Please calm down, you can live with me while whoever does it rebuilds your home. And I promise you, nothing would dare touch you when I'm around." Bendy said, staring into Henry's eyes.
Henry expected to find that weird or repulsive, but he didn't. He felt all warm and happy. He couldn't help but smile.
"T-thank you...but why did you kiss me?" Henry asked. Bendy blushed. "You were breathing too fast and I panicked." Bendy said.
Henry laughed. "Do it again." He said. Bendy was surprised at this, but happily obliged.
And that kids is how to seduce a demon.
