Inky Lover (Bendy X Reader)

Chapter 9

I exit my car, slamming the door shut as I face the building that seemed to loom over me, sending a chill down my body as I take in how run-down and abandoned it looked. The sun was beaming down onto the studio, making the flaws easier to point out. 

I walk towards the building, taking note of my surroundings. The weeds that grew all over the building, as if the place became a jungle, the paint that faded over the many years, and the worn-out sign that had some faded out letters, no longer spelling out the company name.

I notice the entrance and the two windows placed on each side of the front door, the new and clean appearance not fitting in with the old, rusted look that surrounded.

I take a deep breath, preparing myself for the long day that awaits.

I open the door and enter. As soon as I'm inside I'm greeted with the strong smell of ink and coffee, making me crinkle my nose as the two smells overwhelm me.

I go to the break room, grabbing a glass of water to bring with me and trying to hold my breath to avoid the bitter, burnt smells that got much stronger when I stepped foot in the room filled with workers getting their morning coffee. I leave the room, almost bumping into the clingy, skinny man that was placed by the exit.

He waves and gives me a small smile, not speaking a single word. I wave back confused, not use to the quiet behavior he had this morning.

"You okay?" I asked worriedly.

He opens his mouth to speak but is interrupted by a long yawn.

"Just tired" he answered quietly

He makes eye contact with me with those droopy eyes of his followed by another long yawn as he stretched his body, almost hitting me with his long arm.

After a few moments of awkward and silent eye contact, he waves off and past me. I turn my head and watch him go to the coffee machine, pouring himself a large cup of coffee and chugging it down.

I grow a bit concerned with his zombie-like behavior, knowing it's not healthy to be that exhausted.

I silently wish him the best of luck and turn away, making my way to my office to get the day started. 

I turn to the hall with my office and see it in the distance, but grow weary when I notice the light shining from the bottom of my door.

'Who the hell is in my office?'

I stand in front of my door, gripping onto the knob with my clammy hands. I swing open the door, half expecting to see Bendy as I open it.

I'm shocked as I'm faced with Mr. Drew's back. I silently sigh from relief, happy it's not him, but still concerned with why my boss thought it would be a good idea to go through my stuff. 

I watch him for a second as he continues to search my desk, not realizing someone is in the same room as him.

I clear my throat, grabbing his attention.

He yelps as he turns his body towards me, his eyes grow wide as soon as he faces me.

"What are you doing? and you better not give me a bullshit answer" I demanded.

He looks around the room, avoiding my killer glare as I wait for an explanation.

"No one has found my book, so I'm searching through everyone's desk. Someone has it, but no one has coughed up the truth. This is the only way to find out who stole it from me" He answered calmly, lacking any guilt for going through everything of mine I left in here.

"By looking through our desks without our permission? You could have at least asked me before barging in here and digging in my desk. This is inappropriate of you"
