Saving the Ink Demon (A Bendystraw Fanfic)

Chapter 32: Breakfast

Bendy woke up groggy. He didn't want to get out of bed. He turned over and realized that Boris was not in the room with him. Bendy groaned as he rolled out of bed. He walked to the kitchen still wrapped in a blanket to see everyone else eating breakfast. Boris noticed his tired brother and called out, "Bendy, we saved you a plate!" Cuphead looked up upon hearing Bendy's name to see a sleepy demon still wrapped in a blanket. He blushed at the sight and put his head down in embarrassment, "We have waffles." He mumbled, pretending to be tired as well.

Bendy slipped down into a chair and began slowly eating his breakfast. He saw Mugman and Boris get up out of the corner of his eye but was too tired to care about what they were doing. He noted in his head that he liked the taste of waffles. Bendy wasn't used to most foods seeing as the only thing in the studio was bacon soup and hell just had garbage if you were lucky. Bendy felt like he was a newborn baby experiencing things for the first time, and Boris was already so used to everything around them. 

Bendy was proud of Boris. I mean how couldn't he be proud of him. Boris freed everyone from the studio and learned how to heal people. But Bendy couldn't help feeling a bit left behind. He doesn't want to tell Boris in fear that that might make Boris ashamed of his accomplishments. And Bendy definitely didn't want that. So Bendy would be forced to ignore it. He would try to learn about this world he is in, but it would take a long time. So, for now, Bendy decided, he would sit here wrapped in a blanket eating waffles.  

Bendy's mind eventually cleared once he finished eating. He looked to his side to see Cuphead staring at him, Cuphead turned his head in embarrassment with a light blush on his face. Bendy found his reaction odd but chose to ignore it. "So, Toots, how'd ya sleep?" Bendy said in a still groggy tone. Cuphead quickly tied together a sentence as if he wasn't really listening to the question, "Yeah...good. You?" "I slept pretty good too, Cuppy." Bendy said half hoping for another embarrassed insult. Cuphead blushed, "Shut up, you afternoon farmer!" He mumbled. 

 Bendy decided to make a fake dramatic gasp, "How dare you! I thought pretty people were supposed to be kind!" he teased. Cuphead's face flushed once again. Cuphead chose not to acknowledge being called pretty and instead focused on the other half of the sentence. "Are you calling me mean, you Dunderhead!?" he said as he shoved Bendy. "Now, now. I would never!" Bendy said in a joking manner, "You ain't no cad. You just need to learn to be a bit nicer, doll." "Who...Who the hell are you callin' doll!?" Cuphead said defensively. 

"Just my bestest pal Cuphead, who's got so mad his head be a brewin'." Bendy laughed. Cuphead froze on the spot. "Brewing?" Cuphead thought. He wasn't angry enough to start boiling, but he was...embarrassed. Embarrassed enough to bubble. "I have to use the bathroom!" He yelled while rushing to the bathroom. "What's up with him?" Boris asked as he walked into the room, Cuphead running past him. "Dunno. Probably just had to piss." Bendy shrugged. Cuphead slammed the bathroom door shut and locked himself in the small room. 

Author's Note:

We love gay panics in that bathroom at 6am!

Anyway...

Afternoon farmer: A laggard; a farmer who rises late and is behind in his chores; hence, anyone who loses his opportunities. (Basically Cuphead making fun of Bendy's sleeping habits)

Dunderhead: Blockhead.

Cad: A mean fellow; a man trying to worm something out of another, either money or information.

I tried to look up what kind of food people ate around the 1930's but it was... unappetizing to say the least. So, I did waffles instead. Also, I'm hungry. Remember to eat people!
