(So this is gonna change a bit. Instead of mugman making the sweater and then hugging Cuphead, it's gonna be you instead. It's kinda hard to explain but it's like your not there and it's just Cuphead and mugman. And this is a cuphead x reader so nothing has been going on with Cuphead and y/n. But now it will.)

It was the middle of the night and you was fast asleep. At about 4:00am, I woke up to hear Cuphead screaming. I quickly rushed out of my room and barge into their room to see Cuphead panting heavily and Mugman looking tired. "You had the dream again, didn't you" Mugman groaned. You sighed in frustration, as you was getting tired of Cuphead screaming every night. "It's nothing, the devil probably has a huge operation to run. He's not worried about little old m" Cuphead chuckled nervously, as sweat dripped down his forehead. "That's it! Let's go" mugman said and began rummaging in the drawers. "Where? it's the middle of the night!" Cuphead said. "We're dealing with this devil thing once and for all" mugs replied and threw Cuphead's clothes at him. "This is crazy! What do we-" "trust me Cuphead, this one time. Can you just trust me" mugs interrupted. "y/n, go get dressed we'll wait for you downstairs" mugs said. You nodded and went back to your room. You closed the door and took off your pajamas. You placed on your clothes and jogged out your room. You stepped downstairs and saw the cup brothers standing near the front door. They noticed you and the three of you walked outside. You and Cuphead followed Mugman and saw that you was now in the woods. "Mugman, where are you taking us?" Cuphead asked. "You'll see" me and Cuphead awed, as we saw what looked like a pond.

Mugman took out a jawbreak that was inside a plastic bag and was about to throw it in the pond. "Is that my sour fizzy jawbreaker?" Cuphead pointed. Mugman ignored him and dropped it. Cuphead frowned and looked at the water in sadness. "Aw, man! I was working on that for months!" "I'm sorry Cuphead, but I gotta make the water fizz so he'll appear" mugman apoligized. "Who will appear?" You asked mugs. All of a sudden The pond suddenly bubbled valiantly and I deep voice echoed in the water. "When in doubt, young man of mug. Get your friend to Give your brother one last hug" "what was that!" You and cups yelled in shock. "A sage advisor, rumoured to know all" mugs told you. The water then gushed, as a face appeared in the water. "I am Quadratus, the great and wise! Come closer, young ones, so I may advise." "Quadratus spoke. Me and the brother's stepped closer and looked down at the face. "We come seeking your wisely wisdom" mugman told it. "Protection is your mugly goal. For the devil seeks his cuply soul. But fear not, for there is one way. To save his soul and keep the devil at bay. A sweater. Knit with invisible fur from a long-extinct creature, will deter. Uh, basically, the sweater is impenetrable to the devil, so..." the face suddenly stopped talking and looked away. "Uh, you stopped rhyming." Cuphead spoke, raising his eyebrow" "eh, it gets old. If your wearing it, he cannot collect your soul. Now, where is that....Ah-ha! Here it is!" He said and showed us a watery ball. (Sorry, I can't describe this.) "This is the last ball of invisible yarn! Take it young lady!" You grabbed the ball that then turned invisible and looked back at the water in confusion.

"And you must knit the sweater." "Wait. Why do I gotta do all the work?" You questioned. "The sweater is only effective if it's made with affectionately love." He replied. "Uh, how am I even gonna knit this. It's invisible." You spoke. "Just pretend it's there" mugs said. Cuphead embraced you and mugs and thanked you. "Your the best brother and girlfr- I-I mean friend a cup could ever have!" "Aw! How sweet. Now get knitting!" He yelled. You got startled and began knitting the sweater while walking away with the cups. You then finished and smiled. "There! All finished" "good job y/n, now Cuphead. Put it on" mugs said. You gave Cups the sweater and saw him look away in disgust. "Yuck! It stinks!" He said. "I know, I had to cover my nose with my shirt/hoodie/other" you said. "You heard Quadratus. It's the only thing that'll stop the devil taking your soul." Mugs glared. "Alright. Alright. I'll put it on" cuphead rolled his eyes, placing the sweater on. "Oh! I guess it is nice and toasty" before you could say something, the devil then appeared with an irritated look. The three of you screamed, while pointing. The devil groaned and slapped Cuphead's hand away. "Yeah. I'm here for the soul. Let's make it snappy" he said and reached his arm towards cupheads chest. Before he could reach any closer, he got electrocuted. He yelled and stepped back, whilst shaking his hand. "Hey, it worked!" Cuphead beamed.

"You're wearing an impenetrable, invisible sweater. But how?!" The devil growled. "Y/n made it for me. It works on account of our affectionately love" Cuphead voiced and pulled you towards you. You blushed slightly and looked down, not wanting to look at the devil. "Ugh, of course it does." He said, rolling his eyes. "Now, if you'll excuse us. We'll be on our way home." Cuphead grinned and walked back home with you and Mugman. The devil glared at him and appeared right infront you. Cuphead screamed, forgetting that he had the sweater on. "Cuphead, you're wearing the sweater, remember?" Mugman told him. "Yeah, about that. Why don't you save us both time and take it off" "fat chance!" "Take it off and I'll give you ten bucks" the devil smirked, as he appeared ten bucks in his hand. "Oh, boy! Ten bucks!" Cuphead smiled. You and Mugs eyes widened and grabbed Cuphead, before he could take it off. "No, Cuphead! Your soul's worth more than ten bucks!" Mugs told him. "Yeah, it's only ten bucks Cuphead." You spoke. "Hey, your both right! Make it 20" mugman scowled at his brother and grabbed Cups arm. "You're keeping that sweater on. Now let's go home, come on y/n" you shook your head and followed closely behind the. As you and the brother's were walking, you heard music near by. "Hurry, hurry, hurry! Step right up! See the teapot tentacle lady. Encounter the bearded flamingo! Gawk at the really big squirrel!" the guy spoke. "Big squirrel!" Cuphead and Mugman gasped. "Woah, a big squirrel. I wanna see!" You said in surprised. "We gotta see how big it is"

"Right this way!" The person said, pointing at a doorway. "Wait, Cuphead." Mugman said, stopping Cups. "It says, no sweaters allowed" you looked at the sign suspiciously and realised that this was the devil. "Oh, well off it goes" mugs stopped Cuphead again and squinted his eyes. "Hold it! Something's fishy about this. And I don't like the look of that carny"  "yeah it's the devil playing a trick on us" you whispered. "Come on, let's scram" mugs pulled you and Cups away from the place and continued to walk back home. You, Cuphead and mugman then smelled something nice and stopped walking. "Something smells delicious!" "It smells like hot dogs" you said pointing to where the hot dogs were. "Oh, boy! Free hot dogs!" Cuphead said, grabbing a hot dog and poured mustard on it. Before he could eat it mugs snatched it away and shook the mustard off. "Hold on, Cuphead. Look! One bite of this free hot dog may unleash a plague of sweater-eating demon moths. Something weird is going on" "it could the devils tricks again" you said to them. Mugman grunted and dragged you and Cuphead away from the devil. As the three of you were trying to get back home, you heard Quadratus voice. "I know I said wear a sweater. But take it off and that's much better." Mugman stopped Cuphead once again and glared down at the devil that was pretending to be Quadratus. "Hey! Quadratus doesn't have horns. That's the devil in disguise! He's been trying to get your sweater off this whole time! Let's go!" Mugman growled and pulled you both again. You then began to sprint and notice elder kettle's house. "Look! We're almost out of the woods!" Mugman panted while running. "No your not!" The devil yelled, appearing right infront of you again. "Now take off that sweater!" "It's not happening devil. Just give it up already" mugs said, glaring at him. "Yeah! You should try transforming into someone who doesn't fail all the time" Cuphead smirked. You and the two cups started to laugh and the devil began to get furious. Fire then spread around the devil and you and the cups started to sweat. "So, hot" Cuphead said, pulling the sweater. The devil noticed and flared up even more. "I'm cooking in here. I gotta take this thing off" Cuphead panted and grabbed the sweater. "No! Keep it on!" Mugs yelled. "I can't! I can't take it!" Mugs started to worry and suddenly remembered what Quadratus had said. "Get your friend to give your brother one last hug! Y/n! Hug Cuphead quick!" You nodded and embraced Cuphead tightly. "Hey! What are you doing?" Cuphead asked. Tge devil flared up so much that everything exploded. You, Cuphead and Mugman's eyes were completely shut, until you slowly opened them, to see that you were fine. The devil snarled and transformed into different things. "We should go" Cuphead said. You and Mugs nodded and the three of you ran back home.
