Cuphead Oneshots (ON HOLD SORT OF)

Chin Up // Grim Matchstick x Reader // Part One

Days earlier-

You were heading over to one of your good friends, Grim's tower after he got mad and upset after he unintentionally heard Beppi making fun of his stutter and how nerve wracked he was.
You knocked on the door. You heard light sobs and then they got heavy and sad again. You opened the door and walked up the long flight of stairs to his room on top of the castle.

(I'm not gonna write his stutter, just imagine it)
"Y/N," He choked out.

"It's okay, Grim," You said, sitting down next to him on the floor. You took a bottle and collected enough tears to fill the bottom, and then took a wet washcloth out of your bag and wiped the tears off of his face. The washcloth was steaming hot, so he seemed to relax a little under the hot cloth.

You uncorked the bottle and put it up to his lips.

"Tears have something in them that, when eaten, can help you stop crying," You explained. Grim asked no questions and allowed the liquid to slide down his throat.

"It's okay, Grim," You reassured him.
"But it's true!" He cried, breaking into tears once more.

"Who cares if it's true? Your stutter and your shyness is all of what makes you Grim Matchstick, the legendary dragon! Who is also the sweetest friend and a kind soul."

Grim wiped his tears and sniffed.

"I suppose you're right," Grim said.

"Thank you for being there for me," Grim said, still lying on the ground.
"I'll have a small chat with Beppi before I go back to Isle 3. Bye bye, Grim. Take care of yourself." Y/N waved as she left.
Another time satisfied.
Now
This time, it was your turn to start crying. Mugman had been cheating on you with Cala. You were lying on the ground, sobbing, when you heard a knock at the door. You stomped up and peered through the peephole, because if Mugman was there, you had absolutely no wish to see him.

Cuphead was standing there, looking sympathetic and holding a bouquet of different colored flowers.

You pulled it open.
"Hello, Y/N. I'm here to apologize with... My brother." He offered the bouquet of flowers to you and you took them and popped them in your vase of flowers.

He sat next to you, patting your back while you cried. After a little while of silence, he said,
"Mugman loved you so much. He loved you more than almost anything else. He told me every single day when he woke up."

"And that's why he was secretly with Cala."

You were very confused.
"Wait, what?"

"You see, Y/N, when he realized he liked Cala, he didn't want to break your heart because he loved you."

You sat in silence for a little while.

"I'm not as fragile as he thinks, Cups," you responded.
"I would've been fine if he told me he liked Cala Maria and wanted to spend some time with her. I completely understand. In fact, I was considering telling him I needed a break."

Cuphead nodded.

"I've probably gotta go. Bye, Y/N," He waved and left.

You waved back and lay back down on the ground and thought about the information. Then you started crying.

A few hours later, Baroness came by and dropped off a herbal tea she made.

Yeah, everyone came to check on you, but did anyone do anything to help?

No.

Until..
