The Outcast And The Debtor (a qftim bendystraw story)

Chapter 5: Trying to comfort someone i dont know.

"It's me," I finally said, after a minute or two of silence. "Y'know, the guy you sit next to? In Mr Felix's class?" I slowly put my head out, proof I was who I said I was.

He crossed his legs and lent his head against the wall on the other side of the room, "you do realise you could've stayed behind the wall, anyone would recognise those tiny hands of yours." Saying that, he burst out laughing. Meanwhile, I stood there, frozen in shock. Blush quickly spread across my face, and I used my hands to cover it.

HOW
DARE
HE.

Still, even with being roasted by someone I've barely talked to, I couldn't help but laugh.

After 5 minutes, When I'd finally removed my hands from my blush stricken face, my eyes widened. A fascinated 'woah' came out of my mouth, as I took a few steps foreword.

At some point in the last few minutes, the guy had removed his hoodie, as it was folded on top of the the far cubicle and there was a completely different person before me.

He was wearing a long sleeve, dark gray jumper, dark red trousers and white gloves.

Now, I am fully aware that there are some 'weird' creatures that inhabit this world.

Hell, I'm a demon made from ink!
(Editors note: see what I did there😅😉)

But what fascinates me the most about him; not does he have hair made from jelly/jello (like the stuff you have with ice cream),

His head is a C U P.

"Ummm...... you okay bendy?"

A voice snapped me out of day dreaming, and the guy was right in front of me. That's when it happened.

I lost my footing and tripped due to his sudden presence. I yelped,  as I was met with my head inches from the sink. I closed my eyes, ready for impact.

I never fell.

I squinted and a shiver went down my spine, my face was only a centimetre or two from the ceramic sink. And what caught me,

Was him.

"You okay?" The cup guy asked me. I nodded as we both looked at our interlocking hands. Red blushed plastered both of our faces and we both straightened up from our awkward 'twister' looking body's.

I stared up at him, As he flicked his golden blonde hair to the side of his face with a swish of his head. For the first time, I examined his most attractive feature.

His eyes.

We stared deeply into each other's eyes, for what seemed like hours. I'm not sure if I was so deep in the moment that I was hallucinating.

But for a moment,
Just a moment,

I saw the fires of the underworld dancing.

But, something unsettles me.

I don't feel like I'm alone.

"BENDY! CUPHEAD!"
It was Mr Felix. He was shouting at us from the other side of the bathroom door.
"CLASS STARTED HALF AN HOUR AGO!"

OH SHOOT
