Cuphead Oneshots (ON HOLD SORT OF)

Surprise // Mugman x Reader

You hummed a song as you got dressed. Today was your birthday and you were so excited. You had always loved birthdays. Just the fact that people celebrated the fact you were alive and had survived another year was kind of sad but kind of enlightening as well.

You skipped out of the house, waving happily to anyone you saw.

You knocked on the door of the Cupbros' house. Cuphead answered.

"Oh, hi, Y/N." Cuphead said, coughing afterwards. He leaned on the doorway, like he was waiting for something. But you weren't exactly sure what.

"Are you sick?" You asked.
"Seriously, though, Y/N, what the FRICK! I coughed, you germaphobe," He responded, smiling in an annoyingly smug and cocky way.

You were hoping Cups would treat you better on your birthday. Oh well, you thought.
I guess some people don't change.

Cups stood aside, like inviting you in without words.

You were a little sad you didn't get anything. Like, not even a happy birthday. They were probably planning some secret birthday party. But still, you found it odd that he did nothing to acknowledge it.

"I'll be off. Be back soon, I promise!" You ran off to all the Isles, seeing if anyone even knew it was your birthday.

Your heart shattered into 4,534 pieces (oddly specific, I know) that all fell to the ground and shattered into 1,000 more.

Nobody did anything to acknowledge it.
You went back to your house and started crying. Not just a few tears, but like heavy crying.

"Y/N?" You heard a voice from the door. You threw it open.

It was Mugman, holding a bouquet of F/C flowers.
"I picked these for you, but I can't remember why. So, here you go!" He smiled but then noticed your pained expression.

He gasped.

"That's why I picked them for you! It's your birthday! What's wrong?" He said, giving you a little pat on the back.
"Nobody remembered it was my birthday..." You cried.

"Oh, I'm so sorry," Mugs responded.
"May I come in?" You nodded and he sat with you on the couch, holding you and rubbing circles in your back to prevent you from hyper ventilating anymore.

"I'm so, so, sorry," He repeated, over and over again.

When your tears had finally dried and you were feeling better, you two sat on the couch for a little while, just lounging on your soft F/C couch.

"Thanks, Mugs. You've always been there for me," You gave him a quick hug.
"You're welcome, Y/N. Anything for a friend," Mugman smiled.

"Gosh," He said, looking at his watch.

"I need to get home. I told Cuphead I was gonna be back at 11, and it's already 11:45," Mugman said. He got up and waved before leaving your house.

You sighed and went up to the kitchen to get some (insert favorite kind of chips) and then sat down on your couch, slowly picking from the bag.

This was gonna be a long day.
========
Around 5 hours later, you got a call. You answered it, not knowing who it was.
"Hello? Y/N speaking,"

You listened to Mugman talk.

"Hey, Y/N, can you come over and show me how to bake a cake?"
Aww, you thought.
How sweet.

"Sure!"

You hung up the phone and threw on a white dress (or whatever color you want, I just thought white would look better with the outfit) and a black leather jacket.

Then you skipped off to the Cupbros house happily, not knowing what was about to come next.
========
When you arrived, the door was unlocked. Not unusual. Strangely, when you walked in, everything was dark.

"Cups? Mugs? Anyone?"

"SURPRISE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!"
Every single one of your friends had been hiding somewhere, and the moment you flicked the light on, they all jumped out at you.

You were so surprised that you stumbled backward. After you realized, you started laughing.
"Happy birthday, Y/N! I rounded up everyone and we strung this birthday party together!" Mugman said, coming up to the front of the crowd.

"Mugman!" You rushed into him and hugged him.

"You're the best person ever," You said, giving him a kiss.
"I call second best!" Cuphead yelled.

"What are we waiting for? Let's get this party started!" Rumor yelled.

Best birthday EVER! You thought as you were winning the dance competition.
And, it was the best birthday ever.
