Also screw Bendy's actual cannon voice, writing him with a Brooklyn/New York accent is way more fun, mostly cuz of the nicknames. I seriously need to catch up on some books on this app I haven't been reading updating chapter of because I'm getting older and busier. I don't have a lot of time but hopefully soon. Other oneshots are in progress. :]
Ten dead bodies from innocent citizens minding their own business. Several slaughtered police officers and other agents as they contained the beast that did it. It was locked behind three sets of bars and guarded by a man named Henry. Earth had never seen such a creature as this before, and because of it's horrible atrocities, it was to be killed, then dissected. Henry, being the overly sympathetic man he was, convinced the people who were going to kill him to at least let the monster have a last meal. They reluctantly agreed, but said Henry would be the one to get it for him. And here Henry was, nervously guarding and wondering if the creature could even speak english.
The demon was staring at him through the metal bars, tail slowly flicking back and forth. Henry was wondering how to talk to the demon, eyes flicking nervously from the beast, and back towards the wall in front of him. He wasn't even sure if it could see, never mind speak. There was ink covering where he assumed it's eyes were. Henry was now fully staring at the creature. Maybe it hunted blindly, like a bat using echolocation. "Like what ya see, human?" It purred, grinning at Henry's staring eyes. The human hurriedly looked away, feeling awkward.
"I was just wondering if you spoke is all." Henry quietly replied. "Which I guess you do. Uh-You do know they're gonna kill you tomorrow morning, right? You seem really relaxed." He added hastily, turning his body to face the demon. It didn't seem to be bothered in the slightest by his words. It continued to sit on the one bench in the otherwise empty cell, staring at Henry and grinning.
"Right, well...usually when someone is put to death, they get to have a last meal. Whatever they want. Ah-except humans. You can't eat a human. There's tons of other things though." Henry was leaning against the metal bars, looking curiously at the demon who sat so unbothered in his death cell.
"Hmm...lemme think..." It stood up, and slowly began stepping toward the human with one clawed hand to its chin as it walked. Henry took a few steps back to keep the distance. "How 'bout...you."
Henry stared at the demon, wondering why on earth it would want to eat him of all people. Though, it seemed rather satisfied with it's answer. "Uh...y-you can't eat me, I'm off limits because I'm a human. There really is lots of other stuff though, I could show you-"
"No."
"Eh?" Henry stared up at the demon. His grin was smaller, but he still looked unbothered. "B-But uh-you can't eat me. I mean it's not physically impossible it's just that those are part of the rules we have here when involving last meal requests. No humans. I am a human." Henry wasn't sure if the demon was stubborn, or just not understanding that he could not eat him.
"Ya don't understand," The demon started, curling his long clawed hands loosely around the bars. "There's more than one meaning when I say I want to eat ya. I didn't mean it the way in which you took it." He explained. Henry stared up at him in confusion, watching as his long and slimy black tongue ran over his sharp teeth. Then, it finally clicked into place exactly what the demon was asking him for.
"W-WHAT?! That's not contradictory to a last meal request, and it is most definitely not allowed, and not going to happen!" Henry yelped, blushing and stepping back from the cell even further. The room was silent as the two stared across the room at each other. The demon was no longer smiling. Then suddenly, the demon broke out into a loud laugh. Henry gazed over at the demon, wondering what he was possibly laughing at.
"You're a real goody guy, aren't you? I can see things humans can't. I mean, I am a demon after all. You puny things can't hurt me. Humans are all the same. They fear demons because that's what they were told to do, because demon's are bad and angels are good. But you...you were trying to convince them not to hurt me. If angels all acted like you, doll, then they'd finally fit the good description you humans give 'em." The demon giggled, his smile returning.
Henry wasn't sure what to say to that. "People don't like you because of that. You've had people say you're too weird, or that you're too sweet for their taste. I can see through everyone's life like a picture book. You hate yours, don'tcha Henry? Ya hate that everyone thinks you're too much or not enough." The demon watched as Henry became more and more uncomfortable.
"Don't look at my memories!"
"Maybe you'd like to get back at 'em. Make a little deal with a devil?"
"Uh, no? Why would I do that? I mean, do you know the kind of stories that surround making deals with devils? Not good ones." Henry stepped further back from the cage. To his horror, the demon scoffed at him before pulling open the metal bars. Metal bars! This did not make him at ease.
"It was less of a question and more of a statement, doll. The people I was killin' wasn't random. They were all a buncha assholes that needed to hurry it up and go ta hell. One of them was a human trafficker. If ya think 'bout it, demons torcherin' all them sinners makes us better than the angels. They jus' don't wanna get their hands dirty. I was offering to help ya, no hitch." The demon grinned a sharp toothed grin that made Henry step further back until he had pressed himself against the wall.
"W-Why would want to help me get revenge on people that have done wrong to me so many years ago? And I'm sorry, but 'no hitch' coming from a demon sounds like a lie.
"I dunno, I just like you is all. You're a neat human, don't see level with the others as much. And hey, you were the one that offered that last meal so here's the deal. Ya let up on that deal an I'll make sure nobody ever hurts you again. Sorta like what you guys call guardian angels, except I'm a demon." The demon gave the offer with a flourish of his hands, as if it were the most giving and safe deal to ever be made.
"But wouldn't I go to hell when I do die?" Henry pointed out, raising an eyebrow at the beast.
"Pfft-Yeah, obviously. But pay closer attention to the small words. I said I'd make sure nobody ever hurt ya again. So when ya do die, you'll go ta hell where I live an ya don't hafta worry bout any torcher or nothin', cuz you'll be living safely with me. Tons of demons do it, collect their own separate souls that don't go to the torcher pits. I just want you." The demon explained, leaning down and holding out a clawed finger to tap the end of Henry's nose. The human flinched, but stayed put.
"I...how would I know you aren't lying?"
"Demons can't lie bout deals, even if they tried. And if I could, I still wouldn't lie to ya."
Henry was quiet as he thought over the demon's tempting offer. On one hand, he'd live a full life without any worry of anyone hurting him in any way. He'd be able to do anything he ever dreamed of, though he was too softhearted to commit a crime. On the other hand, what good ever came out of making deals with demons? Although...he rather liked that this tall, strong, sharp-toothed creature was so fond of him. It made him like the devil more than he should have. He let out a sigh and turned his brown eyes up into where he supposed the demon's eyes were.
"Fine. Deal. I've literally got nothing to lose." Henry agreed, holding out his hand. The demon did not shake it.
"Whatever fairytales bout demons you've been readin' are dead wrong, doll. We don't seal a deal by a handshake. How we do it is a bit more...close."
Henry was about to ask what that meant when the demon swooped down and kissed him full on the mouth, his clawed hands strongly gripping the human's face in a surprisingly gentle grip. He pulled back and grinned at the blushing human. "Now that that's done, how bout that offer 'a yours?"
Uh-rest is up to your imagination, you can probably guess how that goes-sorry I get uncomfortable with this kinda stuff but I'm trying o k a y, hope ya'll liked it anyways.
