A/N: long story is long. Sorry lols. Shout out to drjaslaine for giving me this idea. I don't own art. Picture above belongs to mindiecomics on tumblr. Anyway, enjoy.

I wasn't always a borrower. I had a family in an old house. We were a happy little family of bittys. My sister wasn't any taller than an inch and a half. I am two inches and my parents were four inches. They provided me with what my sister and I needed but then... the person that we were sharing the house with got mad. She used to be really nice. She had an Octopus for hair. (Cala Maria)) But one day she just snapped. She killed my parents and my little sister. I ran away as fast as I could. I found this nice little house. The owners of it were these two very nice boys with cups for heads. I became a borrower because I couldn't trust the boys. I trusted the woman and that got my family killed. So I've been living "with" them for almost a year with no problems. I almost thought I had found the perfect house that I could live in forever. But...things don't last forever.

Your POV:
The cup bros had left a few days ago. Saying something about how the devil came back and was renewing contracts or whatever. Because of this, they took pretty much all of their food with them. So now, I'm in the house, by myself, with no food. I come out of my "mouse hole" to see if I can find something to eat. Using my superior climbing skills, I climb up the kitchen sink hoping I can jump to the refrigerator door and open it to see if there is any food left. As I am walking I slip on a puddle of soap that for some reason isn't dried up yet. Falling into the sink I try and stop myself from sliding but it is for naught. I slide right into the drain pipe. Huffing I try climbing back up but it is like that scene in Stuart little where Stuart gets stuck in the pipe to look for his mother's ring. It's all slimy and greasy. I call out for help but not knowing when the cup bros will come back I just sink to the bottom of the pipe and cry softly. I cry for my family and for the fact I'm going to die down here.

~time skip two days because not gonna lie, it took my five days to finish cuphead~

Still your POV:
My stomach grumbles loudly for the tenth time today.
"Oh, I'm so hungry..." I wrap my arms around my stomach hoping to silence the rumbling inside. As I am wondering when I'm going to die of hunger or thirst, I faintly hear the muffled sound of a door closing. I listen for a second hearing the cabinet door open and close and footsteps come to the sink. I hear the knob turn and the water flowing through the pipes before I hear and feel the water hit the base of the sink. My eyes widen as I realize I'm going to drown if I don't say something.
"WAIT! TURN OFF THE WATER IM IN HERE!!!!" I shout in a rush. I hear the person jump and quickly turn the water back off. Looking up I see a big eye look down into the drain.
"Woah! What are you doing down there?" He asked.
"I-I fell down h-here two d-days ago." I say nervously suddenly regretting saying something wishing I would have died.
"We'll hold on, I'll get something to lift you up." He said before disappearing. I sit down wringing out my hair from the stagnant water he had summoned from the sink. A few minutes later he comes back.
"Here, grab this string." He says lowering it down the drain. When it reaches me I grab it and wrap it around my waist.
"Okay I'm ready." I shout up to him. I'm lifted up and out of the drain. As soon as I'm out I get a breath of fresh air. "Oh thank god I thought I was going to die." I say as he sets me down on the counter. "Thank you m-mister." I stutter intimidated by his height. Almost as if he read my mind he squats down to my level.
"You're welcome. Now, I have a question." He starts. I nod shifting nervously.
"What are you doing in mine and mugs' house? I'm Cuphead by the way." He asks/introduces himself.
"W-Well, I've actually been living here for almost a year and I-I'm a borrower b-bitty. And my name is (Y/N)." I say rubbing my arm.
"A year? Wow, that's a long time to be a borrower. So wait, you said you were down there for two days? We've been gone almost a week. What did you eat while we were gone?" He asked.
"N-nothing... you guys took all of your food. And when I Went to see if there was anything left I fell into the sink." I say looking down at my feet. "Please don't kill me.. I'll get out as soon as I can if you want." I say quickly. Cuphead thinks for a moment before waving it off.
"Nah, don't worry about it. You can stay. I'm sure mugs won't mind." He said standing laying his hand on the counter. "Come on, lets get you cleaned up. No offense but you stink." He chuckled. I pull my shirt away sniffing it and instantly recoiling.
"You're right. I do stink." I step onto his hand being lifted up and sat down on Cuphead's shoulder. He walks to the bathroom removing me from his shoulder and placing me on the edge of the bathroom sink. He turns the water on checking to make sure it's not too hot not too cold and when it is right he puts the stopper in it. Now since I'm only two inches tall, he barely had to put any water in the sink. He turns to me expectantly.
"What?" I ask.
"Aren't you gonna get undressed?" He replies.
"Not with you in here you perv!" I answer blushing profusely.
"Oh right! I'm dumb sorry! I'll turn around and wait for you to get in the bubbles." He said a blush of his own on his face as he turns around. I quickly undress myself before hopping into the hotter than warm water.
"O-okay, I'm in.." I stutter. He turns back around taking my clothes.
"I'll wash these while you wash up." He said walking out. I start washing myself while playing with the bubbles every now and then. I'm so caught up in playing o don't hear footsteps come towards the door. The door opens and a man that is not Cuphead walks in. We both freeze, staring at each other. I gently wave at him thinking he is this "Mugs" Cuphead was talking about since he had a mug for a head. At my wave Mugs screamed and ran out the door yelling for his brother. A few seconds later Cuphead runs in with a newspaper ready to defend his brother but when he sees its only me he lowers the rolled up weapon.
"Bro, it's okay, it's just (Y/N). She is going to live with us now." Cuphead said walking back out to get his brother. He comes back with his brother and a change of clothes for me. "Mugs, this is (Y/N), she has been living with us, under our noses, for almost a year." He says introducing me.
"Wow! That's impressive. So wait, anytime something went missing that was you?" He asks me.
"Not exactly. I never borrowed something that you would know was missing. Just a little bit of food here and there." I explain.
"Oh okay." He said accepting my answer. "Anyway, sorry about wanting to kill you. Bye!" He said running out. I just sort of wave at him as Cuphead lays my now dry clothes on the edge of the sink and a dry washcloth with them. Since the sink isn't that deep I can get out by myself easily.
"Call me when you're dressed and we will get you something to eat." He told me. My stomach growls at the mention of food.
"Will do Cups." I said giving him a thumbs up with my pruned hand. He walks out and I finish with what I need to and call him back in when I get dressed.
"Ready?" He asks to which I nod. He gently picks me up and places me on his shoulder. We walk out to the living room and head straight for the front door.
"Um Cups? Where are we going?" I ask softly.
"Well, we have no food in the fridge so we are going out to eat. I look and see Mugs waiting by the door.
"About time you two." He said smiling.
"Sorry bro, little miss here had to get dressed." Cups said chuckling causing my face to turn to a red m&m.
"S-shut up c-Cuphead!" I stutter in embarrassment to which Cuphead and Mugs laughed. "Lets just go." I say my stomach rumbling again.
"Okay, lets." Mugs said opening the door. We all leave the house.

~time skipparoo~

We are walking to a restaurant but on the way we run into the woman who killed my family. Feeling scared I jump into Cuphead's collar of his jacket.
"What's wrong little miss?" Cuphead asks.
"Th-that woman over there is th-the reason I h-had to become a b-borrower." I told him. He looks over at the octopus woman.
"Oh her, that's just Cala Maria. She's actually really nice. What do you mean when you say she is the reason you became a borrower?" He asked.
"Sh-she killed my f-family..." I say sniffling.
"Well come on out. We will talk to her okay? She is really nice, I promise." Cuphead chides. Nodding I hesitantly emerge from his collar and sit back on his shoulder. He walks up to this Cala Maria and waves to her.
"Hey Cala, what's up?" He asks.
"Oh! Cuphead, I'm good, how are you?" She says smiling. I don't trust her.
"Not much. Just taking (Y/N) to get something to eat." He said gesturing to me. Cala Maria looks at me and her eyes widen in realization.
"Oh my god! You were part of the little borrower family that lived in my house weren't you?!" She yelled. I flinch in fear and then nodded. "Oh my goodness I am so sorry for what I did! I thought you all were mice and I don't like mice. I didn't realize what you guys were until I accidentally killed the other three. I'm guessing your parents and your sibling." She said looking down in regret. I nod.
"My sister." I say.
"She has apparently been living with us this entire time since. I found her in the sink drain not too long ago." Cuphead explains.
"Oh, well don't let me keep you then. Ta-ta~" Cala says. Cuphead and I leave and meet up with Mugs who had went on ahead.
"That wasn't so bad was it?" Cuphead asked me.
"I-I suppose not...." I trailed off. We finally get to the restaurant and order food. I have to share with Cuphead because I can't finish an entire meal by myself. After about ten bites of the sandwich Cuphead got I am full.
"Well, at least we don't have to worry about you eating much." Mugman giggles to which I blush in response.
"S-shut up m-Mugs..." I say pouting. They both laugh at my pouting face. I smile lightly. I think I'm going to like it here.
