Skeleton Keys

Everything Changes

Bendy's Pov:

Bendy watched Felix from a distance. The poor cat leaned on the side of The Skeleton, watching his sister's ship sail away. I'm glad I found my brother... Bendy thought to himself. Suddenly, Bendy was picked up, swung around, and kissed. Bendy took a moment to kiss back. After several minutes, he pulled away. "Cuphead, can ya warn me next time?" Bendy asked teasingly. Cuphead smiled and shook his head and smiled. "Aw, what be the fun in warnin' ya? Sayin' 'Bendy, I'm gonna kiss ya' takes some fun out of it." Cuphead said, pouting playfully. Bendy sighed and shook his head. Cuphead pulled Bendy close and nuzzled the small demon. While Bendy was being nuzzled, his thoughts drifted back to Felix. He looked over and saw Felix was still leaned against the side of the ship. Sheba's ship was far from view, yet Felix looked on. Bendy felt a bit worried. Unfortunately, Cuphead picked a perfect time to nip Bendy's neck. Bendy squeaked and tried to squirm out of Cuphead's grip. "C-cup..." Bendy breathed out as he struggled against the large captain. "Ahem..." Cuphead stopped and they both turned their heads. The First Mate stood with his arms crossed, tapping his foot impatiently. "Good, Now I got yer attention." Cuphead rolled his eyes, obviously annoyed. "What could possibly be so important that ye interrupt me and me... What is it?" Boris let out a small growl. "What I 'interrupted' ye fer was this." He said, holding up the treasure count. "Okay, so we don't have as much treasure as we did before. So what?" Cuphead asked, getting more annoyed. Boris went ridged. " What be the problem? The problem be: we ain't gotten any treasure in almost a month!" Boris snapped. Cuphead jumped back, then set Bendy down. He walked up to his First Mate and glared. "Do ye dare challenge me? Ye may have the rank of First Mate, but that can be changed." Captain Cuphead said quietly. Bendy quickly stepped in between the two. "Will ya guys stop it? Yer actin' ridiculous." Boris glowered at Bendy. Bendy cowered for a moment, then sized up to his brother. "What the hell has gotten into ya? Ye weren't like this before." Boris bared his teeth. "Look at what yer turnin' into, Bendy! This is why I've been actin' like I have! When ya came here, ya were the same Bendy I remembered. And in just a few weeks, yer talkin' like, actin' like, and kissin' a pirate! Ya hated pirates since we were kids! Our own father left us ta be a pirate! Now, yer someone else! Ye don't even look the same anymore!" Bendy felt anger boil inside him. "Yer the exact same! How do ya think I felt knowing me brother was a pirate?! I tried to hold my own fer years. I had no one to help me out. Now, I had no choice! I could either become a pirate, or fight myself trying not ta! And, to add ta it all, I fell in love! I never believed in it before because of our father, but he proved me wrong!" Boris growled at Bendy. "Well, I hope yer happy with yer pirate boyfriend! 'Cause, from now on, yer not me brother!" And with that, Boris ran down the steps and disappeared in the crowd. Bendy's anger just disintegrated out of him. 'Cause, from now on, yer not me brother!" The words repeated themselves inside Bendy's head. Cuphead made an annoyed sound. "He'll get over it... Fer now, it might be best if I'm not with you when he comes to discuss things with me." Bendy looked up at the Captain. "Yer still gonna let 'em be yer First Mate?" Bendy asked. Cuphead nodded and turned to the wheel. "I don't trust any of the other crew members ta give the position ta one of 'em. Don't get me wrong, I like Henry, Joseph, Mickey, and Shera... But I don't trust 'em. Get what I'm sayin'?" Bendy shook his head. Cuphead sighed. "Never mind, then." Bendy turned to the deck. I hope he's right about Boris...
