The Cuphead show (Cuphead x reader)

Chapter 12-(Dirt Nap)

You were in your room brushing your hair, when you heard your door knocking. "Y/n, breakfast is ready" you heard elder kettle say. "Coming" you replied, quickly placing on your earrings. You stepped out of your room and saw elder kettle overhearing Cuphead and Mugman's conversation in their room. "Isn't he the greatest?" You heard mugs say. "Yeah, I can't believe how full of life he is, especially for his age" Cuphead responded. "Don't you just love him" you quitely awed as mugman said that. Elder kettle felt happy when mugman said that about him. "Eh, I'm still in the like stage" Cuphead replied. You and elder quitely gasped, as elder kettle narrowed his eyes at their door. "Cuphead" elder kettle whispered. "What's not to love" mugman said. "Well, for one thing. He's dirty, filthy and disgusting" Cuphead spoke. You were shocked at what Cuphead said to poor elder kettle. "Why would he say something so horrible to him" you thought, feeling upset. "He can't help the way he is. Now let's eat, I'm starvin" elder kettle ran past you and accidentally hit his head on the object hanging. He grunted and held his head, sucking his teeth. You frowned and heard a door opening. You looked over and saw Cuphead and Mugman walk out of their room, chatting. They noticed you and smiled. "Hey Y/n, good morning" mugs happily said. You didn't say anything and just glared at them, mostly Cuphead. You rolled your eyes and went downstairs, ignoring the boys confusion on their faces.

The cups shrugged and followed you to the kitchen. When you and the brother's stepped inside, you immediately shielded your eyes. "My eyeballs are on fire!" Mugs yelled, covering his eyes. "Why is it so bright!" Cups also yelled, covering his eyes. "Just your dear elder kettle looking his shiny best" elder kettle smiled, placing the plates onto the table. You knew what he was doing and you frowned again. "Not a single speck or smudge. No, sirree!" You and the brother's sat down and starred at elder kettle with a puzzled look. "I hope you love it" elder kettle said to you and mugs. "Hope it's in the like stage" he angrily said to Cuphead, walking away. "What's with him?" Cuphead asked, his voice lowering. "You seriously don't know?" You glared at him. "Uh, no?" Cuphead scratched his head. "Me and Elder kettle overheard what you two were saying. You made him upset by saying horrible things Cuphead" you sighed. "What are you talking about y/n? We didn't say anything mean to him" Cuphead said. "Yeah, we would never say anything rude to him" mugs agreed. "Then why did we hear you say that he was dirty, filthy and disgusting?" You questioned. The cup brothers looked at eachover and looked back at you. "We wasn't talking about elder kettle, we were talking about our pet worm" mugs told you. "W-what?" Now you was the one that was confused. "Since when did they had a worm in their room?" You thought, looking at them. "So you were talking about a worm not elder kettle?" You asked, as they shook their heads. "O-oh, I feel stupid now" you chuckled lightly, feeling a bit embarrassed. "It's okay doll, you didn't know. Maybe you can help us with our pet worm?" Cuphead suggested. You smiled and nodded, seeing the cups face's bright up with joy. "Get a load of this shine, would ya?" You heard elder kettle say. You, Cuphead and mugman looked at him and gasped, seeing him trip on a bottle. He landed onto the table with a thud and groaned. The table and vase was now destroyed and the flower pot was on elder kettle's head. "E-Everthing's fine! Still shiny!" He exclaimed, getting up. He took off the pot and coughed, as the dirt inside the pot landed on him. The brother's shrugged and picked up their plates, heading upstairs. "Thanks for breakfast" mugs said. "We'll see you later, elder kettle" cups also said and looked at you. You picked up your plate, thanked elder kettle and followed the cup brothers.

You followed them inside their room and you closed the door. You went under the blankets with them and saw the poor worm inside a box along with a cookie. You didn't really care about bugs, but seeing Cuphead and mugman's sad expression also made you upset. "What's wrong with him?" You asked, taking a bite out of the bacon. "We don't know, we've took good care of him and he's looking awful now" Cuphead spoke. "Looks like we were wrong about how great he's doing?" Mugs said, feeling perturbed. You raised your eyebrow and continued eating. "It's just a worm, why are they so worried about it" you thought. "Yeah, he's gone downhill. We gotta do something fast" Cuphead said. After Cuphead said that, the three of you heard a gasp. "Did you hear a gasp?" Cuphead questioned. "Uh, sorry about that kids. I just gasped twice and fell down. But I'm fine! I'm walking away now! Toodle-oo!" He says, his voice going quieter. "Let's be realistic guys, I don't think we can take care of him anymore." Cuphead frowned. "Are you suggesting that we send him away?" Mugs asked. "I'm not sure we have any choice" Cuphead replied. Me and the brother's heard a loud thud and we walked out of their room, seeing elder kettle. "Elder kettle? Are you okay?" Mugs asked him. "Never been better! Just rearranging a few things" he said, his nose puffs out with steam. "Here, let me help you-" "Ah! Shoo! Scat! I am perfectly capable of doing things on my own" he told, playing his hands on his hips. "Are you okay, elder kettle?" Cuphead questioned him. "I'M NOT OLD!" He yelled, running away, but getting hit by the same object hanging on the ceiling. He grunted in pain and stepped downstairs. The three of us shrugged and went back to their room. As we walked inside, we heard elder kettle's voice again. Cuphead opened his window and we looked out to see him next to a rusty, big tyre.  "Watch this" he said, rubbing his hands. He tried to pick up the tyre, but he was starting to struggle. He lifted it up with all his strength and smiled. His smile then quickly disappeared as he hurt his hip. He fell down, landing on his back and look at you and the cups. "Ta-da!" "What are you doing?" Cuphead said. "You poor elderly thing" mugman voiced. "I'm not hurt, not one bit" he called out, rolling around with the tyre. "I'm hip, Ah! My hip!" He yelps. "Do you need some help?" You said. "No! I'm fine! Now close the window or...or your grounded!" He shouted. We looked at eachover and Cuphead closed back the window. We walked back to worm and sat next to it. "I know you love him, mugsy. But what other option is there? I mean, look at him" Cuphead pointed at the worm. "He used to be so full of life, but now. You're right Cuphead" mugs teared up. "We need to just put him out of his misery" you frowned. "We should do it sooner rather than later" "he's not gonna suffer, is he?" Mugs asked. "We'll make it quick and painless"

We then heard a loud crash and we looked out the window to see elder kettle badly injured. We gasped in shock and rushed outside. After we placed him in his room, we placed a few plasters on him. "Poor elder kettle, what do you suppose he was doing up that ladder anyway?" Mugs wondered. "Maybe fixing the roof?" Cuphead questioned. "You know him, he never slows down! He's so full of life" "not like this poor little guy" mugs said, holding the worm. "Come on guys, let's go take care of it" you said. They slowly nodded and walked out of elder kettle's room. "What do we do with his body?" Cuphead said, looking at the dead worm. "We could just bury him in the backyard" mugs spoke. "Yeah, that way he'll still be with us you know" you and mugs agreed and picked up the shovels, heading to the backyard. You stepped outside and begins digging a small hole. "Phew! That oughta do it" cuphead said, wiping the swear off his forehead. Mugs gently placed the worm in the hole and looked down, feeling very upset. "Should we say a few words?" Mugs questioned. "Sure. Shoelace, mailbox, slingshot, octopus, bagel, lipstick-" "can we just bury the earthworm already?" Mugs groaned. You and Cuphead nodded and placed the dirt over the worm. We were about to head inside, when we heard something coming from the dirt. "Ah! Nothing like the taste of fresh oil" the earthworm said, his head popping out. "He's alive!" You and the cups yelled. "Thanks, Cuphead, Mugman and y/n. You really helped a worm out. So long fellas" the worm smiled and jumped back inside the dirt. "It's a miracle!" Cups and mugs yelled with happiness. "Let's tell elder kettle the good news!" The three of you walked up to the front door. You and cups was about to head inside, when mugs stopped you both. "Hey, what gives!" Cuphead glared at him. "You two almost tripped on something" mugs pointed at a wire.  "Piano wire?" "And is that a tiger trap in the living room?"  "And look, did someone grease the stairs?" You pointed towards the stairs. "This whole room is booby-trapped" mugs said, nervously. "What is all this?" "Like what you see?" You and the boys heard a voice, coming from upstairs. You looked up to see elder kettle dressed in a uniform. "Is that you?" "Elder kettle?" "That's right and guess what? You'll never take me ali-" he got cut off when he slipped by the grease on the stairs. He started to get hit by all the traps he set up. You, Cuphead and mugman looked away, flinching at his yells. When we opened our eyes, we quickly rushed over to him, shouting his name. "Please! Please don't kill me" he begged. "What are you talking about?" Cuphead asked, feeling bewildered. "I heard what you said, I'm dirty and old and weak. And you're gonna put me out of my misery and Bury me in the backyard!" He said, crying. "What? We weren't talking about you" "we were taking care of our pet worm" elder kettle's eyes widened in surprised. "A worm!? So you weren't trying to kill me?" He asked. "Kill you? You're our elder kettle" cups smiled, hugging him. "We love you" you and mugs also smiled and hugged him. Elder kettle blushed and awed, picking all three of you and hugging you tightly. "I love you kids too. To imagine that I thought that you three were gonna kill- whoa!" He screamed, falling into the pit. We looked at him and winced. "Yikes, he's not looking so hot" mugs told you and Cups. "I guess we could bury him in the backyard?" Cups looked at mugs and you. "I'll get the shovels" you sighed
