Inkwell Isle. Such a beautiful place with both amazing and bad residents. Both the Cup Brothers thought it'd be a nice day to take a stroll just to see how flexible their skill is once again (well, Cuphead anyways). Mugman on the other hand only joined along because of one certain another person that he hasn't seen in so long. And while he doesn't want to admit it, he always enjoyed their company. [Y/N] was always the biggest goof in the group of the three because of how funny they were.

At this moment, the two were in front of Porkrind's shop, thinking to get [Y/N] something as a token of appreciation for them being such a good friend. However, before the two could continue further into the small wagon shop, a door was slammed open and went out a figure from the doorway, who landed on their arse to the ground.

It was [Y/N].

"Stop dilly-dallying around these parts, [Y/N]! I told you to get something or be booted! You didn't choose the former so here we are!," the gruffy voice of Porkrind came through.

Both Cuphead and Mugman knew what was happening but weren't too surprised either. While [Y/N] was goofy, it did also sometimes get them in trouble. It was hilarious honestly. The two brothers looked at each other, chuckling at their friend's antics. Though Mugnman ran a gloved hand through his rather whitish blond locks, sensing Porkrind at the door of his shop.

The elder man shouted a bit of a lecture to the former lad/lassie who was still on the ground, not seeming but to help themselves laugh at their situation. Though too bad the brothers would have to get an earful of it too, as the shop owner insisted on taking [Y/N] and making sure to get them to be off with them. He also said if [Y/N] were to come by his shop without reason once again, he'd have to tell Elder Kettle.

That surely made the boys get serious and panicked, as they tugged their friend [Y/N] by the arms away from the shouting male. "Oh no no no, lemme at 'em!," [Y/N] shouted playfully. Both boys sweatdropped, laughing nervously before being completely out of Porkrind's sight.

Let's just say after that, the two sorts of made sure [Y/N] didn't leave the house. Yes, [Y/N] lived with the boys. In fact, Elder Kettle had found the lad/lass upon his porch step when he had to take in both the twins himself. But oh boy, did he not know how much running he would have to do once they grew up.

Anywho, skipping back to the present.

"Awh come on, guysss, I had him where I wanted him!," [Y/N] complained, though the brothers weren't having any of it. The two mutually sighed. It's quite literal if they were to say they were taking care of a younger brother/sister. It literally felt like it.

Cuphead tugged on his locks a bit before dragging one of his hands across his face, signaling how annoyed he had become. And trust me, Mugman felt that.
