11| Confessed

Brooke's POV
I'm starting to realize how in love I really am with this ink creature-thing named Bendy.
I know he's been kind but he's been more.. gentle with me as of late. Kind is an understatement.
I just hope this means he feels the same as I do.

Bendy's POV
The human girl I saved and kept called Brooke stares at me. We're just standing here in the hallway. I can't help but to stare right back at her gaze.
I wonder what she's thinking about. I tilt my head and wave a hand in front of her. She doesn't move. It's like her mind is somewhere else.
I boop her nose and she blinks a few times, stepping back almost in shock. I wave a small wave at her and she just smiles back.
She looks around for a moment, before leaning down to an inky puddle on the floor. I watch as she dips her hand in it and writes on the wall with her finger.
She frowns as she forms the letters and dips her hand in the ink puddle again.
I step to the side to see what she wrote.

Bendy, do you.. love me?

My chest gets warm and tingly all of a sudden, drawing out blush on my face.
Brooke looks at me after drawing two small hearts in the wall. "I-.. uh.."
I shift on my feet as she tries to study me. W-what do I say to that.?? Obviously not the truth! Not now!
I clear my throat, fidgeting with my hands. "W-why do you ask, Pet?"

She tilts her head but turns back to the wall. She then moves away from the response.

Because.. I.. love you.

I'm not sure how to respond. Yes! But- what if this is the step in the wrong direction? What if it's not the right time?
I sigh, and she seems to lower her gaze. "Y-.. Yes, Brooke." She looks up. "I- I do love you."
I look at the floor. "I'm just not sure if it's the right time for confessing.."
She hugs me suddenly, and gazes at me.

Brooke's POV
It's as right time as any. I grin. He hugs me back, and we teleport back to the main-house ?room place.
