I'll Get You Back (Bendystraw/Cendy Story)

Ch.9

Cuphead POV

It was late, but we soon finished up all needed for the night. The two of us were walking out of his office when he stopped and scoffed in realization.

"I totally forgot I let my driver go home early." Bendy said shaking his head.

"No worries I'll bring you home." I told him as he gave me a thankful smile. We continued down the hall when I noticed a birthday banner.

"Is today your birthday?" I asked pointing to the banner. He looked at it before shaking his head and continuing down the hall.

"Just another day." He stated not seeming to care about this special day.

"Just another day? It's your birthday you should be out having some fun." I told him slightly nudging him. He gave a fake laugh as he leaned his head back slowing down.

"What's fun? I don't even know what that is."

"I'll show you what fun is. We're gonna celebrate your birthday. But how old are you turning?" I asked him as we continued walking out of his office. He looked at me raising a brow.

"You don't just ask someone that."

"Well I just did." I said shrugging my shoulders.

"Wh- How old are you?" He asked me crossing his arms. Not feeling it was big deal to tell him I answered.

"34." He went silent for a second before looking away.

"20, 12" He muttered quickly. I laughed understand he meant 32. I didn't think it was that big of a deal to tell someone your age, but whatever. I took him to my car as we drove around my neighborhood till we reached Oswalds club a few miles outside of it. I put the car in park before getting out saying hi to some of my neighbors and friends. Bendy nervously got out the car looking around paranoid. I gestured him to follow me as he shook his head.

"You know I really am not sure about this." He loudly whispered to me as he refused to leave the side of the car. I smiled thinking how cute he was being because he's probably never been to a bar.

"It's okay Bendy come on." I said holding my hand out to him. He reached for my hand before hesitating.

"Is it you know.. Safe?" He asked as he took a step towards me. I gave him a reassuring smile.

"You're safe with me don't worry." I told him as he nodded taking my hand and following me into the club. His hand was really soft but he was slightly shaking as he had a tough grip on my hand. As we were in I guided him through the dancers on the floor hearing the band playing a nice song with my buddy Oswald singing like a pro. I brought him up to the bar counter where BT Cup finally noticed me.

"Hey Cup you little shit." He laughed as I said hi chuckling. Bendy looked confused at how we said hey to each other. I signaled to let him know it was no big deal.

"So you come to take over?" BT Cup asked me as he pulled out a few liquors for some other customers. I shook my head laughing.

"Not tonight. This buddy of mine actually has his birthday to today and he needs a drink." I said emphasizing the word drink as BT Cup looked over at Bendy. Making him a bit uneasy, but he still waved at him.

"You ain't lying. I know just the thing." He said turning to the shitton of alcohol we had. I heard the song end as Oswald bid them all a good time before leaving to where I was.

"Hey Cuphead." Oswald greeted as he stood next to me. I told him hey as BT Cup gave Bendy his drink. I recognized it immediately as a vodka cocktail, but Bendy nervously looked it over with confusion. I tried to hold in my laugh as I looked at him.

"You okay?" I asked as he just continued to stare at it. I shook my head at the beginning drinker.

"Hey BT just give us our usual shots for this beginner." I said as he shrugged turning away. He came back giving us three a shot each. Oswald immediately drank his and slammed it down.

"What is this?" Bendy asked examining the clear liquor.

"Just do it. If you have to, plug your nose. Unless you're scared. If you are here." I reached for it which he slapped away my hand in response.

"No, I got this." He said bringing it to his lips. The three of us watched him in anticipation if he'd really do it. Well he sure as hell did throwing it back and slamming the glass down. I gasped letting out an amused laugh trying to make sure he was good, but then he grabbed my shot.

"Happy birthday." He muttered before taking the shot and slamming that glass down as well. We all laughed and applauded him for his bravery. However, he didn't look so good as he seemed wozy, shaking his head and snapping his eyes. 

"You good man? Here's some water if you need it." I told him setting the glass in front of him, but he rejected it as he showed he was okay. A few hours after though, he was at a table doing more shots with some other people who worked here while I watched him leaning against the bar counter.

"He is cute man." Oswald said nudging at me as I smirked shaking my head.

"Yeah he is, but he's too rich for me. A guy like me don't stand a chance unless he's wasted 24/7" I explained looking at him. He shrugged shaking his head standing up.

"Yeah sure man. I'll see you later." He said patting my shoulder. Before I could say later Bendy came out of nowhere landing in my arms.

"Woah you alright?" I asked smelling fresh vodka on his face. He chuckled smiling brightly at me slightly making me blush.

"Dance with me." He said pulling my waist close to him as he then dragged me to the dancefloor which was empty considering it was afterhours and the place was a bit bare. I couldn't help but dance with this little demon who pulled me close to him. I gave him a twirl which made him giggle causing me to smile as well. He then leaned his back against mine till I turned him to face me. He looked up at me with that sweet adorable smile. Not able to help myself I lifted him up holding him close to me while he wrapped his arms around my neck. He was so small and fragile. I couldn't help but notice his alluring scent and well fit figure against my arms. I used all my strength to put him down even though a part of me didn't want to. Something about him was so tempting. He seemed to keep to himself refusing anyone to truly see what's behind that shell, and I just had a glimpse at the gentle hearted person he really was. I cleared my throat as I went back to the table he was at grabbing his jacket. He was following me and clinging to my arm still smiling and giggling. Yeah he really was drunk. I think it'd be best for me to take him home anyways since I'm assuming this is his first time drinking which is surprising for his age.
