A Secret To Be Kept {Bendy x Cuphead}

CHAPTER 25.

Bendy's POV

    After I was cured, I couldn't stop listening to those voices in my head. They were distant. I could barely hear them, they were muffled. But whenever I was able to hear them, I would be bewildered. But most were vague.

Sometimes I tell myself to ignore them, I thought they were normal when you're with someone... but this couldn't possibly be it. I was pretty scared.

But that shouldn't really matter... right? But hey, at least we had gotten a bit better... well, kinda?

Cuphead's parents aren't giving them any money, so cuphead applied for a job. He's gone most of the time, he works right after school. But at least we're together. He makes me happy, and I make him happy. He just seems so tired... From school, he still has homework and from his simple job. He works as a waiter in a town-famous restaurant. The previous waiter quit his job. Or that's what I heard. He's in so much stress...

But I feel some kind of weird connection that's been going between Boris and Mugs. They seem more... happy together. I almost feel like they've been together since  and never told us.

I guess I wouldn't mind if they're together.
They seem cute.

That's what I heard today.
But they're getting even more clear now.

Oh! And hey, some of my classmates survived the shooting. I saw some of them at the park and at my school as well. Mickey and Felix were alive and still with their popular lives.

Surprised they still get their popularity even with 3/4 of my previous school dead.

And yeah, to be honest, that tree. . . It's magical? I have no idea why or how it exists.
It's like... it chose us both. It helped both of us.

I decided to visit it, right after Cuphead goes to work.

It's it's time... I took my phone and told Mugs and Boris that I'll be back.

I start to head towards the woods. And as I got closer and closer... the atmosphere got darker. I don't know why but I continued.

I stepped into the woods and it was so much darker than before. I started walking towards my secret garden.
The voices in my head were getting louder this time. And a bit more clear.

Chaos what?? End what????
I think I'm starting to understand about what it's trying to say. But who? All I know is that it's a male and that he's hiding something no one's supposed to know.

Heck, with this tree, I might even be the next Sherlock Holmes.... this story isn't supposed to be a detective story-

Sounds fun tho-

But I'm having so many thoughts on who it could be. It could have my father involved... uh, ew. no. get it off me.

When I made it, everything was normal. Didn't change. The tree? Still normal...? I didn't remember having the bottom of the bark turning... black.

Nothing? Guess it wants me to figure it out.

Cup's POV

I've been hiding it for a while now... I feel guilty. I feel like I don't deserve him after what I've done. But he doesn't know, right? I've seen "Missing" papers everywhere in the central but he won't notice it...

I just wanted him to be happy... I'm sorry...

Even if I admit it and app afterwards, it wouldn't help my guilt.

I'm such a psycho...
Not just that, everytime I look at him, even for a second, I hear high frequency all the time! I know this isn't normal at all...

I hide it so no one would notice.........

I know I'm not supposed to keep this and that I should tell him. I'd tell him anything but this secret. I'd tell all my embarrassing moments but this secret. I'd end my LIFE just to not tell it.

It's a secret to be kept. I guess.

A/N: I know I know
Cringe as hard and as much you want or can-
I'll add sum arts on the next chapter hhh
