Reader/Kerrin POV:-
--------------------

"Wake up sleepy head! It's breaky time!"
I muttered in annoyance, firming my hands to the pillow, I was too comfortable to wake up. I sensed someone sighing and moving around me nudging my body and poking it as they please.
"Mmh..?" I opened my eyes slowly to find the little devil face one inch away from mine "Bendy..?" I called him confused "Who else besides me would be with you? wake up already! you slept too long!" he complains and jumps off the bed. Raising my body up, I was in a statues of confusion "it was real.. not a dream" I rubbed my head before I stretch my back "What do you mean?" he asked me while opening his own can of bacon soup "I thought coming to this workshop with Henry and all was a dream" I explained.

"Of course it's not silly you!" he waves the spoon at me "What made you think that?"

"I just had a dream that I was back to my home" I confessed, I thought it was too good to be true, I avoided the details or skipping school and going back to my usual routine. I glanced at him playing with his soup with upset expression "hey! don't play with your foo—"
"Do you miss it there?" he cuts me off with a firm tone "You don't like it here?" He wasn't smiling, I couldn't understand what he is upset about, but I pondered to his question. Why do I want to go back that badly? besides the fact that this place is a living nightmare and I could be killed anytime. What is it that makes me want to go back?

There's no one waiting for me there, there is nothing important for me to do. Everyday is the same thing, wake up, clean, eat and sleep! The only thing that makes me want to wake up is my passion to sketch and draw. I jerked my head up looking for my bag, I went directly, opened it and took out my book "It's here.." I was relieved. Bendy was looking at me still waiting for my response "There's nothing, it sucks to be there Bendy" I replied.
"I'm not that desperate to go back, I just want everyone to be safe" I said with confidence "this is the only thing that's important to me" I showed him my books and sketches, he put down his can before he holds them. The look on his face fascinates me whenever it comes about drawing, he lose his character and becomes like a little curious child, he already looks like a kid to me with his current size though. My stomach growled demanding something to eat, I explored the room before my eyes lay on the can with a small spoon next to it. How considering of him, not only he brought me to this room to rest but he even brought food for me! "Thanks Bendy!" I was thankful, I wished for an egg or bagel but this will do. Now I need to gather a stamina and stay alive until Henry arrives, or at least until we find a way out..
As I'm eating, I kept my eyes on Bendy who's been staring on my drawing books, flipping the pages as he pleases "What are you so fascinated about?" I wondered, he didn't catch what I just said. It's like he's living his own world for a while before he noticed "huh? you said something?"
I giggled, he's so cute when he's like that "never mind" I shrugged "your drawings ain't shabby ya know" he hems as he waves the book like he doesn't care. His attitude changed in less than a minute. Amazing.

"So.. would you draw more? like right now?" he requested, avoiding eye contact.

"I thought my drawing too shabby for your taste" I grinned, taking this opportunity to break his all mighty attitude, what is he? a yandare?

"F-Forget what I just said! draw me!"

"What's the password...?" I crossed my hands enjoying this.

"Grrrrr fine! please..?"

"Sure!" I accepted, I feel a bit off, so it wouldn't hurt if I draw a bit. Knowing that I will feel a bit better for a change "could you... draw me with Boris?" he lowered his tone as he hops up to bed handing me my book, I flipped to a new blank page and took out my tools "alright" I wonder what scene should I make this time "he's a tall wolf wearing white overall! and... he has two gloves! like me" he showed me his hands, I looked at him with a smile "I know, I saw few posters of him you know?" "Oh.. sorry" he felt like an idiot, I will make him feel better soon, because now I have a brilliant idea of what I'm going to draw.

Without a delay, I took a long inhale to gather my focus as I started to sketch the paper. Bendy approached to me too close that made me pause for a second, until he made himself comfortable on my lap to get a good view while I draw "umm.. are you comfy?"

"Yes, proceed!" it was like an order and I felt the urge to pinch his cheek, but never mind that. He's enjoying it and he's just a kid, so I didn't mind.

He will get bored during the process and eventually fall asleep.
Few minutes later, I observed him from behind and he seems to follow my hand's movements step by step. 30 minutes later, still the same thing, I made  Boris's figure so far but not quite clear. While I started working on Bendy's figure I noticed something odd "Bendy... where's your tail?!" there was nothing on his back which surprised me "I don't have a tail to begin with, I just made it to look cooler" he replies "You shall never see my tail EVER AGAIN!... not after that swing" he mumbles, he didn't get over it yet "s... sorry" I felt bad, even if he was a little brat he saved me and looked after me. The least I can do is draw this for him, No.. I will make this one the best portrait ever!
I sniggered in secret, Bendy sensed that and looked at me confused. I was careful in every step, I already memorized their lines and poses, I was into it that I didn't feel the time passed.
Now that I think about it, how can I tell the time here? I paused, distracted to this thought. I don't recall seeing any clock the moment we entered too "What's got into you?" Bendy sounded impatience "Was wondering what the time is" I mean, is it morning? afternoon? how can I tell while I'm inside this place that  gives you the feeling of an endless night. No windows, no sun rays, nothing. Bendy couldn't follow to what I'm saying, I just hope Henry and father are safe.

"All done!" I sighed, it took forever to finish this. Amazingly Bendy didn't fall asleep at all "I hope this suffice as an apology" I put my tools and ink away, he was still staring at the paper. I peaked over his shoulder "you... didn't like it?" I asked with doubt, I always had faith on my work, I never doubt about the way I work! But people have their own tastes.

"It's.... perfect" he whispered, taking the paper to his hands carefully not to mess it by mistake "careful, wait until the ink dries" I advised.

"Kerrin? what is this?" he pointed at the night sky I drew "It's... a sky? with the stars and the moon" I rose my eyebrow. "Me and Boris are dancing under the night sky huh" he smiles genuinely. "I was inspired by the view of the night sky filled with stars when I headed out waiting for Henry... I was thinking what would you two do in such a beautiful night"

He gazed through me with silence "w-what? I know it's idiotic for me to think—"

"It's not.. " Bendy interrupts "It's nice of you to think that... plus we would have fun all night!" he chuckles, his tone was off despite that.

"You've never been out at all.. haven't you?" I brushed my hair away from my sight, my eyes on Bendy's back. He flinched a bit to my question which means it was right. I didn't know what to say..
It's all my father's fault..
I wanted to ease him, to promise him that all of this will end. I reached for his glove and held it gently. I tried to open my mouth to say something! I couldn't even smile. I just dropped my eyes down to the white sheets in complete silence.
"What's with the long face?" Bendy said with a smile, he didn't pull out his hands. My throat is aching, I felt the urge to cry and...

"Kerrin!! why are you crying?!" he panicked when he saw my tears falling to my cheeks "I'm sorry Bendy! I'm really sorry.. I wish I can tell you it is okay I wish I can tell you not to worry anymore but it is not fair! I keep saying that I will make things better but I—" Bendy lays his finger on my lip hushing me not to talk anymore. He then gives a wide smile before he says "what's this?!" he pointed below my neck. I looked down right before he flinches my forehead "Oww!" I rubbed my head "What's that for?!" I was just being emotional and all and what does he do? he flinches me!

"That's for being a good yet dummy girl!" he jumps off from the bed giving me his back "Don't worry about me, you should worry about yourself!"

"But I..."

"No buts!" he persisted. When he turned around I could see it through his eyes, he was happy. I guess he's not that honest when it comes to feelings..?

"Well captain, what's now?" I asked "Our same old mission little soldier! let's find out way out!"

I giggled when he went along with me, now that I'm all set. It's finally time to dig around more with effort. I fetched my bag with me.

"Thank you for crying for my sake..Kerrin" he said something but I couldn't hear "Say again?"

"Nothing. More action less speaking!" he points onward.
