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

Chapter 14

No one's P.O.V

'where in the world is he?!' Cuphead thought as he was running here and there inside their house. Mugman was nowhere inside the house, which made Cuphead scared and worried. Knowing that it'll be his fault if something had happened to his brother.

He ran outside and slipped on a mud, it was already dark and it was still raining pretty hard. Everything was wet and muddy but he didn't care.

"MUGS!!??" He called out as he stood up. His clothes were dirty and his bowl was already filling with water, it started to leak down his head because it was getting full.

"MUGS!! PLEASE ANSWER ME!!" he shouted, he could care less about the neighbors. Although he knows that they probably won't hear him from the sound of the loud hard rain.

After minutes of calling out, he lost his voice.

"Mu--aah-gh" he whined out. His throat was sore, he couldn't speak properly.. let alone gulp.

Still no one answered..

He started to cry, as he felt his warm tears rolling down his face. He still kept his head down. But suddenly he jerked up when he heard a loud thunder. His head shot up to the sky.

'Mugs.. I'm sorry' he thought and then passed out on the muddy floor. He was already feeling dizzy since he walked out of the house. It was because Rain Water is not a liquid that is acceptable inside their bowls.

Just in time..

four heavy thudding came over. It was Mugman with his ex Best friend, Boris. They both carried Cuphead's figure inside the house and put him up to his bed.

"Hey, he's heating up.' Boris said as he cupped the cups forehead. Mugman quickly went over and did the same, "He had to look for me in the pouring rain.. now he's wet.. and.. ugh." Mugman said worriedly.

"What did you think? I found you crying on that playground and you've probably have been there for what? Like 2 hours before? And you didn't know that your BROTHER will be worried sick since you told me you guys fought before you ran away from him. I just had to take you home because it was staring to rain and thunders were approaching. OF COURSE HE IS GONNA LOOK FOR YOU!" Boris lectured Mugman who just lowered his head.

His face looked hurt and this bothered Boris. He knew it was unnecessary to be sarcastic but he just couldn't help it, he still don't like being with his ex best friend. But he felt sympathy.

But deep down inside there was more to that. He cared deeply with his ex best friend and his brother.

"Hey, his bowl is empty. You should fill it with that magic liquid that you guys put inside of your bowls." Boris said looking away blushing. Mugman's face lit up a bit knowing that Boris still haven't forgot little things about him and his brother.

He stood up and went downstairs to get it. Boris just looked outside the window. The water running down on it was making it blurry to even see what's outside clearly. Though he always thought that it was peaceful when rain approaches the night.

Finally Mugman came back carrying 2 liters of some white liquid. He went up to Cuphead then looked over to Boris, "Boris, can you hold his  head up for me?" Mugman asked,as Boris just shrugged and did what he asked. Then Mugman poured all of it in his bowl.

Soon Cuphead's body jolt up but it didn't surprised the two. They were already used to it.

"*Cough* *cough*" Cuphead started to gag as he slowly sits on his own. He looked at Boris then to Mugman. He was about to say something but Mugman already tackled him down to bed.

Boris had always wondered how the liquids inside their heads doesn't pour out when they lay down or so. Only when they jump up or when it came contact with water, but now he learned that it was because the liquid had magic in it.

"Mu--aagghh?!. Muu-aghs?!!" Cuphead hugs his brother tightly as they both laugh genuinely.

"What with the massive voice cracks?!" Mugman teased.

Boris just stared at the two, a small smile crept on his lips. Thought looking at the two made his sad.

"I-a'm so--hhy!! I'm sohh sao-ry!!" Cuphead let's go of his brother. Mugman pulled him up making him sit up beside him. Cuphead soon noticed Boris and decided to ask was he was doing.

"Bo--hhiis--"

"Don't worry, I just bought him back to your home. No need to thank me. You've probably damaged your throat from.. maybe calling out to your bro. Next time, be careful with your words. I'll be going home." Boris said and then left the room.

"Boris!! Wait!" Mugman said as he ran after him. Boris stopped by the doorway and looked back at Mugman. "Boris.. I.. *pant* I.. *pant* Thank you!!" Mugman said and smiled.

Boris felt a blush creep on his face so he looked down. "Y-you're welcome..." Boris replied while clenching up his fists.

"Well.. I better get going.. don't stay up so late. When you hear a thunder cover your (non-existent) ears." Boris finished and fled. He didn't care if it was wet, he just wanted to get away from embarrassment. But half on the way he heard: "I MISSED YOU!!" which made him stop on his tracks and smile.

He felt something warm up inside of his heart. He looked down on the floor and cried quietly. Everyone around his was looking at him which made him more embarrassed. So he ran to the nearest alleyway and cried.

Curling up to a ball and lowered his head, the rain didn't make his tears visible so he was comfortable crying. He was already dripping wet and he was shivering from coldness.

'I shouldn't assume things without knowing the real reason behind it'

"I miss.. you too.." Boris whimper under his breath, gripping his clothing tight. When something warm was wrapped around him and the feeling of rain dropping on him stopped. It took him a moment to look up.

Surprised to see who it was he murmured, "What are you doing here.."

"To take you home."
