The Cuphead show (Cuphead x reader)

Chapter 19-(piano lessons)

Mugman was fast asleep on his hammock, having that dream again. When all of a sudden, the goat started licking him, jolting mugman awake."Blech! Ugh! Get off of me, you stupid goat!" Mugman shooted a glare towards the goat and threw his sandwich away, for the goat to leave. "You were having that piano dream again, weren't you?" Cuphead pointed with a grin, whilst jumping in the hammock with his brother. "Yeah, probably just excited for my next lesson with the great ludwig" mugman replied with a joyful look on his face, Cuphead rolled his eyes. "Oh, that guy. Mr. Snooty face" you looked over at the two with slight confusion, wondering who their talking about. "Um, who's lud...wig?" You asked, walking over to them. "I told ya, dollface, Mr. Snooty face" Cuphead said, chuckling. "No, ludwig is a brilliant musical mind and he's inspiring me to appreciate the finer things. Like music, culture and lobster" mugs once again smiled, as he clasped his hands together. Just then, he fell off the hammock, groaning and rubbing his head/mug. "Eh, who needs lobster when there's free crawdads down at the crick?" Cuphead spoke and walked away, whilst holding a bucket of raw lobsters. "You can keep your crawdads, and your crick!" Mugs exclaimed. "And you can keep your snooty piano instructor, you know he doesn't even say your name right" as Cuphead said that, the three of you heard a loud honk.

Mugman then gasped at the sight of ludwig's vehicle and squealed. Your eyes widened as you saw how long the limo was, you could fit a lot of people in that car. The limo then came to a halt and a toon stepped out of the car, which you guessed that was the piano instructor. "Eh, I got crawdads to catch, come on y/n, let's leave. Have fun tickling the ovaries, you weirdos" cuphead said, walking away, you followed him and glared, hitting his arm, seeing him wince in pain. "Ow! You gotta stop doing that!" Cups frowned. "Be nice Cuphead, stop being so disrespectful to people, learn some manners" you said, crossing your arms. "Good morning, Ludwig!" Mugman smiled. "Yes, good morning, moog maan. What a lovely day is any day I get to see my favorite student, moog maan" ludwig responded and began walking away weirdly. "Yep, that's my name!" "No, it's not!" Cuphead yelled, you exhaled deeply, shaking your head. "Shh!" You heard Mugman say. You and Cuphead watched, as Mugman was talking to the guy, but really ludwig was mostly doing the talking and kept interrupting Mugs.

You heard Mugman trying to play the piano and you couldn't stand the noise, it was making your ears bleed. Just then, Mugman stopped when he smelled the lobsters Cuphead was holding. "Crawdads?" Mugman covered his nose. "I see what you're doing there, mugsy. Eh, why not try a little something like this?" Cuphead said, placing the bucket down and heading over to the piano. He begin doing what mugs was doing and all of sudden started playing the piano perfectly. You and the others looked at Cuphead in shock, after Cuphead finished, Cuphead noticed the look on your faces. "What are you weirdos looking at?" You narrowed your eyes at Cuphead, disappointed at him for still being rude. "Eh, I got crawdads to eat" he continued and dragged you into the kitchen. You looked at Cuphead in disgust, watching him take a bite out of the lobsters and throwing the tails onto the table. "Cuphead, please put these in the bin instead of throwing it on the table" you said, covering your nose. "Sorry dollface, I'll do it later" he replied, while you blushed slightly. "Why do you keep calling me doll or dollface?" You asked, Cuphead turned to you and smiled. "Because it suits ya, I find it cute when you get flustered" you blushed more and pouted, looking away. "Brother of Moog maan, what you just did, how did you do it" Ludwig spoke, stepping into the kitchen. "I dunno, I just played what felt right" Cuphead shrugged. "You made that up? Your talent, it's so raw and alive!" He exclaimed. "Mister, you're starting to creep me out" cuphead spoke, feeling a bit uncomfortable. "Listen, there's a piano completion" "no, thank you" "Tommorow at the inkwell theatre" "nope" Cuphead said, throwing a piece of lobster at ludwig's face. "Cuphead! Stop being rude" you whispered, which he ignored.

"You will enter as my pupil and dazzle of the inkwell isels with your song" "pass" Cuphead responded I, throwing a piece of lobster near his face. "Did I mention that the grand prize is $10,000?" He grinned, Cuphead immediately perked up and his eyes then turned into dollar signs. "I'm in" Mugman was devastated and got inbetween them. "Recital? But that was my dream and my grand prize. You can't pick someone for the recital till you hear us both play" Mugs pulled Ludwig back where the piano is and sat back down."you think he's so great, just wait till you hear Moog maan. Prepare to be dazzled" before Mugman could play, Ludwig quickly stopped him. "Dear boy, piano isn't for everyone,perhaps you should try, umm..watercolours" he said and looked back at Cuphead. "Anyway! Let us go, my boy, the high life awaits!" Ludwig and Cuphead left, slamming the door shut and Mugman felt humiliated. "But that was supposed to be my dream, and my $10,000, and my lobster!" He sobbed, you frowned and wanted to help, but you tried that last time with his sweets that Cuphead ate. But he didn't listen, so you thought it was best for Elder kettle to speak to him.

(Time skip)

It was morning and you stepped outside to catch some fresh air, when you noticed Cuphead and Mugman outside. "What are you doing here? You're supposed to be at the recital" Mugman spoke. "Eh, Ludwig was a no-show" Cuphead said, not feeling bothered. "Really? Oh gosh, that's awful. I know what it's like to be abandoned" Mugs frowned. "Eh, I'm over it" you and the brother's then heard music coming from inside and went to check where it was coming from. It was Cuphead's music and it was on the radio. "Hey! That's my song!" Cuphead yelled. "And the winner of this year's piano competition is...Ludwig!" The radio voiced, the brother's shouting in surprise. "He stole your song! What an asshole!" You shouted, gritting your teeth in rage. "Tell us, Ludwig, how did you come up with this fantastic new piece?" A person asked on the radio. "Oh, I'm so glad you asked that, I just play what feels right" Cuphead growled, feeling irritated. "What a phony! Someone ought to teach that jerk a lesson" "yeah!" You and Mugs agreed. You and the Cups continued to listen to the radio, hearing a rope snap and a loud crash with people screaming in pure fear. "Oh, dear! Ludwig has been crushed by a falling piano! Who would do such a-" Mugman looked at the radio anxiously and turned it off. "So, you were gonna crush me with a piano, huh?" Cuphead squinted his eyes at Mugs, while you looked at Mugman in shock. "Just a little" mugs said nervously. "Eh, don't sweat it, I would've done the same thing if I were you" seriously they both need help and to get along, they just love hurting eachover. You thought, shaking your head with a slight frown. You didn't listen to their conversation and thought about taking a nap. You was about to head upstairs, When you accidently bumped into a large lobster. "Hey! Who you call in tiny punk?"
