Meanwhile...

Chapter 10

* Cuphead's POV

         It's already 3:00 in the afternoon. I don't know what to do. Since I've left Bendy's house I can't help but worry about him ..... F*ck. Should I go back? I'm kind of worried about him. He's so small and fragile and.... cute.... No that's weird I can't like another guy right? That's weird, but I can't stop thinking about him. When I grabbed his face his his eyes were just so... Mesmerizing. I got up and grabbed my shoes. 

     " I'll be back soon!" I yelled to Mugman. It's not weird I'm just checking up on him... I ran towards Bendy's house. I thought of how bad off he was before as I began to run faster. All I could think about was his golden ruby eyes. They were so hopeful and at the same time beautiful. His smile pierced my heart. His voice was as smooth as silk. I want to hear it again... As I got to his doorstep I felt my heart flutter and for some reason I started to almost get excited. I raised my hand to the door and knocked.

     As the door opened I looked and saw no one. I heard someone shuffle backwards and looked down. He looked up at me and from the looks of it he was trembling..... My heart felt like it was falling into pieces. My face felt hot. "So....uh are you.. okay?" I asked scratching the back of my head. I heard him mutter something like " good more or less." We stood there staring at each other awkwardly. As he waved goodbye he tried closing the door indicating that I should leave. I shoved my foot in front of it and saw his face immediately drop and the fear in his eyes become more prominent.

    " I'm not here to hurt you... I was just..... Uh.... wanting to see if you were okay...." I trailed off. He began to relax a bit but was still on guard. " I was wondering if you wanted to start hanging out more often." I mumbled to him. He looked really surprised. " I... Uh.. I don't k-know if I c-can really trust you. How do I know this isn't some p-prank just so you can beat the living sh*t out of me like y-you and your goons did every day for the last 2 weeks?" He claimed. I didn't know how to respond to that... " Besides aren't I just WORTHLESS just like y-you stated...." He told me. He was no longer looking at me but at the ground.

  I reached my hand out to him but he flinched back. This caused me to finally fall to my knees. I can't take it anymore. The look on his face is really heart breaking....He opened the door wider as his concern seemed to grow. " I'm deeply sorry if I made you feel this way please, let us get to know one another. Just like you would a friend. I promise that I won't hurt you..." I stated. My stomach in knots scared of the answer to come. I looked up to see a small weak smile on his face. He knelt down next to me and told me " I guess it doesn't hurt to try. We can start by walking to school tomorrow..." I felt my heart jump out of my chest. I nodded my head trying not to seem too excited.  I got up and gave him my phone number. He gave me his.

    I made my way back to my house excited that I could talk to him. Something was bothering me though. I can't put my finger on it.... As I reached home I got onto my bed and laid there for a minute. Again with the feeling that something wasn't right. I got him to take my phone number. And got him to consider being my friend. But as I put more thought into it I realized........

I'm not satisfied because he's not mine.... Yet.
