Chapter 11, Opening Up

Cuphead's Perspective

I looked away from Bendy and then got up. "Let's keep going." I stated coldly and looked at Boris who immediately unrolled the map. "R-Right." He said uncertainly and continued onwards. I glanced over at Bendy who was curled up in Felix's arms. He must hate me or something. He acted like I was seducing him into liking me or something, like I had sickly twisted him into my arms. It hurt me.. No. nothing can hurt me. I pushed down my emotions and played with Jackpot, averting my gaze from the cat and demon. It would only make me upset. Jackpot eased my mind though as he played with me and purred. Such a cute kitten he is. He's like a therapy cat, complete with a bow. I petted him and smiled as he affectionately nuzzled my hand. "Good kitty." I whispered quietly to him and kissed his button nose. He crawled into the sleeve of my jacket and got comfy, as if he was being carried in a pocket. I laughed as his fur tickled me and I carefully brought him out, setting the small kitten in my bag. I dropped a few treats in with him and listened as he munched on treats. I never knew how much I loved cats until I found him. I redirected my thoughts and carelessly stuffed my hands into my big pockets, walking along on the uneven ground of the fields. After about an hour of listening to Mugman and Boris happily chatting and acting as gay as Pride Month, I got tired of it. "Anyone wanna play a game?" I said, cutting off Boris. "Yeah sure!" He said happily and Mugman chimed in, also agreeing. Felix shrugged and hushed the others who were waking Bendy with their noise. I watched as Bendy shifted and whined in his sleep, seemingly missing something. It couldn't be me. "Well I was thinking "Never Have I Ever"." I suggested, which the others seemed to find satisfactory. "Alright well I'll start! Never have I ever had sex." Mugs said, getting a bit shy at the word sex. I immediately put my finger down. I was the only one. Mugs giggled and then Boris yipped. "My turn! Never have I ever had porcelain for skin." He said and I begrudgingly put my finger down with Mugs. "Meanie-." Mugs said and playfully nudged Boris. By now Bendy was awake and was attempting to get out of Felix's arms, and Felix helped him walk for a bit. "Hmm.. I know one that everyone else will have to admit." Felix said a bit mischievously. "Never have I ever had dirty thoughts about something illegal." He stated confidently, and sure enough, everyone else put their fingers down.

"Wait Mugman-?" "Big brother I'm a minor everything like that is illegal-." He made a fair point, and Boris nodded in agreement. "Ah, makes sense. Mine's just because I'm uhh.." "a sadist-." Bendy joked and snickered at my flustered expression. "Hey I deny that-." I said and Felix shook his head. "And you Bendy?" He pointed out, seeming as Bendy's finger was down too. "Ah, well, uh.." Bendy stayed silent and everyone stared at him. "Umm- my turn-! Uhh-.. Never have I ever.. been 6'1"." He said with a smirk as I put my finger down. "How do you know how tall I am-?" I asked and then Bendy shrugged. "Even if you're taller than that, at one point you had to have been 6'1"." He explained and then walked over to me, looking up at me. "Ah.. Okay." As mugs began formulating something, Bendy mouthed 'I'm sorry' and placed his tiny hand in my rather large in comparison hand. 'What happened?' I mouthed back and hesitantly rubbed his hand. 'I'll explain later' he mouthed and smiled sweetly. "Uhhh, never have I ever been completely straight." Mugs said and giggled as everyone lowered their fingers. "I expected nothing less." He commented and looked at Boris who shyly averted his gaze. I smiled slightly at the cute moment. If we do somehow make it out of this, they will certainly date. I hope I might be able to date shortie too, but our relationship right now is very unstable. Both of us are unstable people. At least.. That's what I tell myself. After hours of walking and talking a lot about different never have i ever's, telling stories, laughing, and bonding as a group, I could feel Bendy getting closer to me. I felt like I was fitting into this ragtag group quite nicely. I felt like.. I felt very vulnerable. Just days ago I was completely unsocial and cold with my walls up. Now that I could express myself more.. It felt amazing. I feel happy and nervous, but mostly happy. Especially because Bendy was holding my hand like I was a child. I was smiling for so long that it felt perfectly natural for once. Once we came around to setting up camp and making dinner, Bendy lead me to an area nearby. He sat down on a rather large stump and patted next to me, looking at me and purring. I sat down next to him and smiled, holding his hand. "So Bends, what happened earlier?" I asked while stroking his soft fingers with my smooth porcelain ones. Bendy leaned against my arm and purred, looking at me with beautiful red eyes.
