"stay" - cuphead x reader

☆ maybe i do love you ☆

I woke up in my bed. I checked the clock on my bedside table, and it read 6:23 AM.

I decided to jump in the shower and take a quick bath. Smiling to myself as I wrapped myself in a towel, I opened the bathroom door and got dressed.

It was a rather beautiful day. Despite it still snowing, it seemed a little warmer than yesterday, which was a good thing. I put on a normal t-shirt and some sweatpants and ran to my bed.

I opened up the book again and read a good 4 or 5 pages before I felt a weight on me. I panicked for a bit and moved my book to the side so I could see what that weight was.

I blushed.

"Cuphead?" I stammer. Cuphead smiles at me and hugs my waist. "Goodmorning, (N/n)!"

I smiled at Cuphead and continue reading my book as he silently stays there, hugging me. Cuphead wasn't so heavy, and he was rather light. After all, I'm taller than him.

I sit up and stare at him before putting my slippers on and heading downstairs. "Let's go eat, Cuphead!" I whisper-shout.

He nods and walks to me silently as we hold hands and run down the stairs as quietly as we could to not wake Mugs up. Upon reaching the dining table, I see a dish full of bacon and pancakes.

"Oh! These look delicious!" I exclaim. Cuphead sits down beside me and we eat pur breakfast.

There was a lingering silence between us, but I was okay with it since it was a little relaxing. I continued eating the pancakes as I notice Cuphead staring at me. I turn my head to him and raise a brow.

"You good, Cup?" I ask him.

Cuphead looks down before looking back at me. He opens his mouth and says, "did you mean it, (N/n)?"

I tilt my head slightly in confusion. "What?"

Cuphead looks away and laughs to himself.

"While we were on the roof yesterday night, you fell asleep in my arms and I was staring at the stars in the sky. It was snowing and you were cold so I brought you back inside and placed you on your bed and tucked you in. . . All that."

I wonder what Cuphead is going on about. Did he just want to fill me up on the extra details last night? After all, I did fall asleep, and when I woke up, I had a hard time remembering what had happened the night before.

"It's just. . . I think I-. . ."

I looked at him again. "You what?"

Cuphead was a blushing mess. I found it strange. He was strange. What was wrong with him? Is it my fault he's acting this way?

"I think I l-love you."

My eyes widen in shock. I blushed and looked Cuphead in the eye. I had to contemplate for a second. There was no way this was happening. It was as if I was in a dream. I smiled widely and giggled.

Cuphead stood up, "yes, I know it's stupid. . . I'll go back upstairs now."

He turned to the stairs and walked away from me. I grab his hand and he swiftly looks at me.

"Calm down, I accept your confession, you dummy!"
