Dreams Come True (Bendy x Reader)

Chapter 3: A Deal with the Demon

2:30 p.m.

August 16th, 2004

Bendy's P.O.V.

Bendy watched as (Y/N) hurriedly strode through the parking lot to her car, impatient to get to the studio. This time she'd come prepared, although her classmates had given her odd looks when they noticed the large pack she was carrying around, but no one asked questions at least.

Little did she know, the mischievous little demon was not at the studio, where she thought he was, but was in human form on the roof, watching her with enthusiasm sparkling in his eyes.

'I can't wait to talk to her when she gets there! I've got so much to show her!' He thought with a grin as she was just about to step into her car, until she stopped and turned in a different direction as if she was distracted, and he frowned.

"What's she doing...?" He mumbled as he squinted, trying to look closer at which way she was turned, until he saw the object of her interest. A boy.

He growled to himself almost as if by instinct and glared down at him as he watched the young boy, who looked about (Y/N)'s age, approach her casually, and start talking to her.

"Who does this punk think he is?" He growled softly, and then he was struck with the realization of how he was reacting. Why was he so upset? She was just his friend, after all. And yet...

Something in the way the boy stood close to her, the way he looked at her, made Bendy's blood boil. He couldn't stand to watch him talk to her anymore. Leaning over the roof slightly so he could see better, he snapped his fingers, and a small ball of ink hit the boy's car, which was clearly right next to hers judging from the way he was leaning on it, and it wasn't loud, but it was just enough to set off the car's alarm, which seem to jolt him as he yelled at the top of his lungs and spun around, staring at the car in confusion. Neither of them had seen it. Bendy smirked, before laughing hysterically to himself as the boy rubbed the back of his head and waved slightly before jumping in his car to turn off the alarm and driving off. He frowned as he noticed (Y/N) was smiling before she did the same, driving away in the direction of the studio.

'Pff... what a chump... I want to be the one to make her smile like that...' he thought frustratedly, before quickly teleporting himself back to the studio.

He didn't know why he was so irritated by the strange boy's advances, but it irked him, nonetheless. His ire, however, dissipated as quickly as it came when about twenty minutes later, he heard the door open, and (Y/N)'s voice sounding from down the hall.

"Hello? Bendy, are you here? What am I saying, of course you're here."

Bendy smirked in amusement just at the sound of her talking to herself the way she did. He thought it was cute. A thought that he tried to shrug off as soon as it came, not wanting her to see him blushing like a stupid idiot when she found him.

(Y/N's P.O.V.)

(Y/N) quickly stepped over the threshold, and, shutting the door behind her, turned to see Bendy greeting her with a smile, which she easily returned.

"Hey, Toots, I'm glad you came back. How was school?" He asked eagerly, tentatively putting an arm around her, which he was relieved to see she casually accepted.

"Good. My leg was better this morning, so I didn't have to hobble around." She said with a laugh.

Thankfully, when she had got home, Joey didn't ask any questions. It was a common occurrence for (Y/N) to stay out after school with friends, or around town. What he didn't know was that is that it was mostly to avoid him. He was not... the easiest person to be around. She shuddered as bad memories flooded her mind. She didn't normally get punished if she wasn't home too late. Of course, he had kind of let things like that go more after what happened to her mother. (Y/N) quickly shook the thoughts from her head, forcing herself to keep smiling.

"Here, I'll make a deal. I get to ask you questions, and you can ask me any questions you want. But we both have to do our best to answer, okay? If we're gonna be friends, you might as well know more about me, and I know more about you. It's only fair..." She trailed off with a wicked grin.

He smiled at her, normally he would've kept his secrets to himself, but he couldn't seem to deny this (H/C) girl next to him. Besides, her deal seemed fair enough, as he was every bit as curious about her as she was of him. Or at least that's what (Y/N) thought. She didn't notice the knowing look on his face as his dark eyes glanced down at her.

"Deal."

"I've got another one too."

"Oh? And what's that?" He mischievously, raising his eyebrow at her and causing her to giggle, and then she glanced around before smirking at him, like she had a secret of her own.

 "I want to fix the studio." she answered after a moment. "I know it seems impossible, but this place used to mean a lot to me." She said softly, her voice turning serious. "I want to make this place what it was meant to be, maybe even run it someday. I've given this a lot of thought, and I have a plan. I want you to be a part of it, too." 

He hesitated before nodding for her to continue. His heart beat faster at the idea of her coming back to this place so much and trying to fix it, him knowing what was really contained within this place, but he also felt his heart melting too, at the thought of her saving what meant as much to him as it did her.

"So. When I come to visit, I'll bring stuff from the outside to show you, but I want you to help me fix this place up. I'm sure you know it better than anyone, and I want the dream to come true this time." She finished confidently. (Y/N) smiled a bit at the shock on his face, but she really meant it. He didn't know it was her own father who had failed her by giving up, but she did. Then again, he also knew things she didn't. But she really did love this place.

'It's worth saving.... him and the other characters are worth it too...' she thought, and Bendy smiled down at her.

"I'll take that deal too. Although it hardly seems fair, getting to see an amazing, pretty girl every day and help her fix my dream, plus getting to see things from the outside world and talk about anything. Seems like I'm getting the whole package." He said after a few moments, grinning as her face turned red. "I would hate for you to get the bad side of the deal and do all the work, Toots."

"Pff. As if I'm only here just to be polite to you. Not like I want to spend time with my friend or anything..." She replied sarcastically, lightly elbowing his ribs, causing him to chuckle.

"That's right. You're really losing out. Not that I'm complaining." He answered devilishly, and she rolled her eyes, laughing.

 "Save it. I want to be here, and we're friends now, so I'm not losing anything. Deal with it." (Y/N) said with a wide smile, covering his mouth before he could say another word. "Don't worry, I'll let you in on the master plan later. Now about those questions..."
