It's not you (Cuphead X Bendy) (w/ some drawings) [COMPLETED]

Chapter 1

Mugman's P.O.V

"Bro?" I shuffle his sleeping figure again.. He's been like this for the past two years.. He's always sleeping. I move to his side of the bed to finally see his face. His eyes were still closed... Under those are dark circles. Every time I think about it.. It aches.

"Bro, wake up," I shuffle his face gently and finally he opens his eyes. He stares at me while he is still half asleep, I could tell from his eyes that he is already out of this world. I sighed and gently reach out my hand, "come on bro, let's get you a bath," it took him for about 1 minute for him to grab it. I slowly escort him to the bathroom, Cups couldn't move his legs very well.

He would always wobble and wobble, and he's just bumping into walls... He's been skipping school ever since last year. It's also been a long time since I've seen him being so energetic and happy, he never let out a small tint of his voice too..

"Cups, I've prepared pancakes and hotdogs for breakfast, D-dad said that he would want you to go to school with me.. He was worried about your grades and you might end up getting expelled." I said looking down as I turn on the shower, I look at him and undress him. He just stares into nothing.. There is nothing inside his eyes...

"Bro, you take off your undergarments okay? Call me when you're done," I hope this works... I slowly walk out but just as I took a step outside he tugged on my shirt... No luck huh.

I slowly bathe him while talking about stuff that happened at school, and that Dad's business was finally well known. He just nodded in return but still staring at the floor.

"Cups." He looks up to me.. Under his eyes are dark circles.. It still bothers me, "I love you bro.. Remember that okay?" I said hugging him.

I went down stairs to get some towels, apparently I still haven't took all the washed clothes and towels to our room. Without an helping hand, it's hard to keep track of things. Come to think of it what's the ti- *THUD*

CUPS!!

I dashed back upstairs only to find Cups, lying on the hallway. I run to him, "C-cups! Why did you?! I-i was coming back!" I hold him close and cover him with a towel... Brother..

~Time skwip~

-in the kitchen-

"Cups!!" *THUD* he almost fell entirely.. Thankfully I got to save his butt.. "Yowch, that really hurted haha," I said as I stood up and help him stand.

"Maybe.. This isn't a good idea.. You still can't walk... I'll just tell dad that you still aren't feeling good," I said as I lay him down on a chair and went back to prepare the pancakes. I wanted to have heart shaped pancakes to maybe.. Just maybe cheer him up a little.

I took out a knife and.... Knife.. Yeah.. I remember.. It was that time.. It still feels like it was only yesterday.. Cups attempted to commit suicide.. First it was with his powers but we stopped him by putting of a rusty bronze gloves on him, Dad made that idea, I don't even know if it was heavy or not.

Then after that.. It went on with a knife, luckily I went home early from school. It was a really rough day, I just finished my cleaning duties and so I went home. I went to the kitchen to get something to bite, just as I got there, Cups was attempting to slice his throat open. I fired and hit the knife out of his reach.

It still kills me to watch my brother like this.. Feeling suicidal.

I carved the pancake into a heart. I felt a bit happy about it. It was perfectly carved. After that I went back to Cups and gave him his breakfast. I start to eat, "Hmm.. Maybe there is something wrong with your legs Cups.. I'm just gonna tell Da-"

"I'm okay"

...........

I shot my head to him and said, "C-cups! You tal-"

"I can walk.." He wobbly stands up and starts walking. To my surprise he can walk without wobbling not until *THUD* I stood up to help him but he held out his hand as a no.

"I can walk! Okay?!" He said and fixes his stance, "I'm going to school!" He said looking down, "Cups,"

"I'm sorry.." He said going back to his seat.. D-did.. He just--?

"C-cups!!" I hug him from the back, "you talked! Cups!! You talked!!!" I said hugging him tighter..

"......" He kept quiet, oh no! He is not just gonna turn down my happiness just yet!

"I missed your voice.." I said snuggling on his shoulder, I felt tears gushing out and fell. He didn't move, "I missed you Cups.."

He suddenly pulls me and hugs me, "M-mugs.." His eyes started to tear as well, he rubs his face on mine still hugging me tight, "ew bro your snot is everywhere hahaha," I said as I let go of hugging him, "I missed you very much,"

He gave me a smile.. Gosh, how long has it been since I've feel warm from that smile.. I feel no more coldness.. No more.

"D-don't leave me again..." He said, I looked at him in confusion.

"Don't leave me.." He hugs me again.. Oh.. You mean, when I went down stairs.. He went to get me. "Oh Cups. I won't.." I hug him..

"You're like a baby now," I said and chuckle, he chuckled as well. His eye bags are still very visible, but his eyes are finally at least.. Coming back to life.

"Let's eat our breakfast now Mugs," He said and I smiled at him. He stood up and held out his hands, "pfftt sure Cups," I reach out to his hand.

After that we began eating and talking. He was still not as noisy as he used to be. But I'm glad that he is finally opening up once again.

"Cups..."

"Hmm?"

"I..... I was worried that you were going to stay that way... That.. Silent Cups thing.. It broke me.. I'm always worried, not wanting to leave you alone. I... Know that this is a very sensitive subject to you.. But whatever happened in the past.. Is done, okay?" I said giving him a sweet smile, he smiled back at me,

"Y-yeah.."

I guess it still haunts him.
