Requested by africkenfricker this one's kinda short but I really liked writing it.
After that whole thing with the psychotic man named Joey, and escaping a cursed studio, Henry and Bendy found a house in a small town where they lived around with their friends, and other people they didn't know. Henry had been having a few late nights at work as of lately and Bendy decided one night he would make dinner for Henry to come home to. The thing was, he had no clue how to cook. But it couldn't possibly be that hard, right? In fact, Henry made it look very easy to do indeed. Dear god how wrong Bendy was. He had only tried to cook meatloaf, but that itself proved to be a terrible mistake.
He had not only managed to make a mess of the kitchen, but also completely burn the food, set off the fire alarms, and in the process have a complete meltdown which transformed him back to his ink form. Wonderful. Of course once all this disaster had just finished happening, Bendy had no time to try and clean anything up or set it right because right then, the door had opened. "Bendy?" Henry called from the entryway. The demon didn't answer, but began to silently panic. Henry couldn't see the mess he had made! He was trying to give him a break, not twenty times more work!
He only felt ten times worse when Henry walked into the kitchen, stopping in the doorway with his mouth hanging open in shock. "What...what happened?" The human asked slowly, putting his car keys on the sauce stained counter. Bendy hunched his shoulders like a shameful dog, looking anywhere but at Henry. "What did you do?" Henry said gently, not sure if he even wanted to know what sort of acts could cause such destruction.
"I tried makin' ya dinner since ya worked so late, but I don't really know how to cook an I screwed it up." Bendy muttered, guilt piling up inside him as he spoke. Henry was silent for a few moments, making his way across the formerly nice kitchen.
"I see..." Henry trailed off as he saw a burnt pan of...something, and he didn't want to know what. Honestly, he was too tired for this right now. He was looking forward to just sleeping. Then again, he was touched Bendy wanted to help him out. Sure he fucked it up, but it was the thought that counted. "Well, don't worry about it right now. Let's just have ice cream and watch a movie." Henry shrugged, making his way over to the cupboard to grab two bowls and spoons. Bendy looked taken aback.
"What?! Ya ain't mad at me?" The demon asked, stepping beside Henry and tilting his head down curiously. Henry looked at him silently for a couple seconds before giving him a kiss on the cheek.
"Nope. You meant well, and accidents happen. Actually, I think it's kinda sweet that you wanted to do that for me. Lucky it's the weekend tomorrow, we can just clean all this up then." Henry glanced over the mess of a kitchen. "One thing though. If you want to learn how to cook, let me teach you before you even attempt to do it by yourself again." The animator chuckled, patting the demon on the head. Bendy huffed and stood up straight.
"Fair enough." He agreed. The two went into the living room and watched a movie while eating ice cream. Henry was pulled into the demon's lap and they sat like that, eventually both falling asleep in each other's arms.
