It was midnight. Bendy and Mickey were walking down the sidewalk. Bendy looked at Mickey worried and then flinched for a second before, without a word, pulled Mickey closer to him, wrapped his cape tightly around him and hissed at someone. The figure had silvery skin and an attire consisting of blue and white, white being the dominant color. "Well, well, well... it's the idiot. Why don't you come back to the family, Bendy?" Bendy replied angrily, "To get ridiculed again? Hell no!"
"At least give me that little prey of yours."
"BACK OFF SILVESTER!"
"It's fun messing with you!"
"I said BACK OFF!"
"Come on, we're all starving here."
"You know what? I'm done with this."
"Huh?"
Bendy closed his eyes, opened his mouth and "bit" Mickey and waited for Silvester to move away before taking his mouth off of Mickey's neck.
Mickey began to feel a bit light-headed halfway during the wait. He was actually relieved when Bendy let go when the silvery demon was out of their sight. "I'm sorry." Bendy said, a bit of guilt in his voice. "Umm... Bendy, did you really want to bite me?" Mickey said.
"No. But it had to be done."
"But, if you did, why didn't it turn me into a vampire or kill me?"
"I'd have to dig my fangs way deeper into your neck for that to happen. Come on, let's go home. You've had enough for tonight."
"What?"
Bendy let go of Mickey and began walking back to Mickey's house. Once they got inside, Bendy shut the door behind them and pulled Mickey to where he was inches away from him. Bendy looked at Mickey for a minute before kissing him on the forehead and wishing him good night. When Mickey left, Bendy stood still. The tears that he didn't even realize have formed streamed down his cheek. He thought for a second. After several minutes of silence, he muttered, "He isn't even my brother, why am I crying?" Then he walked towards the guest room and went to sleep. However, one word rang in his mind:
'Why?'
(I hope you liked this one. Took a bit to come up with the title of the chapter since I usually brainstorm and then come up with the chapter title, not at the very end of the chapter. Sorry it's shorter than usual. But it was close.)
