Some Illnesses Can't Be Stopped

To Live With The Angels

Cuphead's POV

Finally, I finally told Bendy my true feelings, he seemed stunned at first but he returned the feelings which means that he's loved me all along. With a blush still prominent on our faces we stared at each other, his ruby red eyes glistened in the light yet somehow they were becoming dull slowly.

I smiled in uncertainty yet he smiled back, genuinely, "hey Bendy... how are you feeling..?" I questioned him, he sighed and coughed a little "I- I'll be fine Cuphead... really... I'm fine..." I wasn't convinced, but I nodded slowly "if you say so..." he sighed through the life support machine "Cuphead... I'm so happy that you love me..." I nodded "I'm glad that you love me too Bendy..." we looked at each other and smiled, this little demon was perfect, nothing could replace the love I have for him.

I then heard him begin to cough a little, I gulped and looked at his heart monitor, it showed that his heartbeat was very low, like, only one beat per minute, I became worried and my eyes showed it, Bendy looked at me and smiled softly "please Cuphead... don't worry..." those words, echoed through my mind, he's said that so many times and yet he always ends up making me worry to the point of a panic attack. I shook my head, I was about to protest but then Nurse Fanny walked in "Cuphead, how's everything going wit-" she didn't even finish her sentence for when she saw his heart monitor readings her face turned pale.

I took that as a sign that something was deadly wrong, she turned to me and sighed "Cuphead... I think you should get everyone in here... there's nothing more I can do to save him, I'm gonna take him off of life support in an hour, so it's best if you all say your goodbyes..." that hit me like a bullet, she was going to take him off of life support, I rushed to get everyone into the room, we only have an hour left with him. Once everyone was in the room I cleared my throat a little "ok guys... Nurse Fanny is going to take Bendy off of life support in an hour... there's nothing more she can do for him... we need to say goodbye before time runs out..." I heard Boris gasp and begin to sob "n- no... B- Bendy can't be dying... he just can't be..!" Mugs walked over to Boris and hugged him tight letting him let all of his tears out, the poor kid... he's going to lose his only brother... his only family member that he has left.

I began to choke on a sob, I wanted to live a happy life with Bendy by my side, but that just won't happen... I can't believe that this is the end of the road for him... he only has 50 minutes left.

Bendy's POV

Crying... that's all I could hear, I opened my eyes after a long nap, once I did I was shocked to see everyone crying over me "w- what's wrong guys..?" I questioned them, Mickey looked at me "Bendy... I'm sorry but... you only have 45 minutes left to live... Nurse Fanny is going to take you off of life support after those 45 minutes are up... you're dying..." I gulped, so this is the end.

I looked around the room and saw Boris crying into Mugman's shoulder and Cuphead was crying too, my brother and my love were going to lose me... if only the Ink Illness never got to me... if only I was never cursed with it... then I could live happily with everyone. I began to tear up, fearing for everyone and for the end of my own life... I never feared death until this point, when death was slowly drawing near, it's only a matter of time now... unless my body can fight off the illness in the next 40 minutes then I might live, but the possibility of that happening is extremely low.

Sighing sadly I attempted to sit up but I was gently pushed back down by Boris who's eyes were red from all of the crying "B- Bendy... save your strength... you'll need it when you... die..." he said the last part with more tears in his eyes, I smiled weakly "my little baby bro... please don't cry... I'll finally be free from the pain... this wretched illness... I'll finally be free..." this only made him cry more, the thought of me dying must've been too much for him.

I coughed a little again and inhaled then exhaled, the need for air was more demanding than ever, I was dying, I couldn't breathe right, and on top of all of that, I've made my baby bro and my love cry their hearts out. After an agonizing 30 minutes, Nurse Fanny walked into the room, "I'm sorry everyone... but his time is up... say goodbye and I'll turn the life support machine off... I'm so sorry..." that stabbed me in the heart, so it really was my time huh.

She walked over to the side of my bed, took the life support mask off of me, and turned off the machine... everyone was crying as my breathing became shallower and shallower, this is the end... I watched as Mugman escorted Boris out of the room after he said goodbye and kissed me on the forehead, Mickey looked down at me, sighed, said goodbye and walked out, then came Oswald and Felix, they looked at each other and then gently hugged me, saying goodbye and thanking me for all that I've done. The only one left in my room was Cuphead, Nurse Fanny was still there "ok Cuphead... make it quick please..." he nodded slowly, "Bendy... I... I... I love you so much... I just want to kiss you before you die..." I nodded weakly "go... ahead... Cups..." I breathed out.

He leaned in close and was about to close the gap between our lips, but just before he did I saw a bright light, followed by a voice telling me that it's time to leave, my eyes became dull, and just before Cuphead could kiss me, my heart monitor flatlined, that was it, I was gone.

Cuphead's POV

Just before I got the chance to kiss Bendy I noticed his ruby red eyes go dull and glaze over, then his heart monitor flatlined, I got up and looked at Nurse Fanny, she was obviously crying "I- I'm sorry Cuphead... he's gone..." I began to sob as she escorted me out of the room and back into the room where everyone else was "Cuphead... he's gone isn't he...?" Boris murmured, I nodded slowly.

"I didn't even get the chance to kiss him..." Mugs walked over to me "I know bro... I know...". That angered me, they don't know the pain I'm feeling right now, I pushed my own brother away from me, and walked to the elevator, Mugs and everyone else began to follow but just before they could enter the elevator with me, I closed the door and hit the button to take me to the final floor.

There, I grabbed some rope and tied it to the roof outside, thank god there was a hook there, I made a noose and slipped it around my neck, I looked up at the sky and saw Bendy, he was smiling 'time to come home Cups' I heard him say, I was hallucinating. Just before I jumped, Mugs came running out "wait! Cups! Wait!"

He yelled, but it was too late, I jumped and all of the air was removed from my mouth, I stopped breathing, just before I closed my eyes I saw Bendy again and felt his warm embrace, this is for the best I know it... then I breathed my final breath and died. Now I was with Bendy up in heaven, from now on we'll be together forever, and we'll protect our younger siblings and visit them in their dreams.

End...
