But Cuphead's life will be ruined even more. Read on to see what happens. Notes I don't own Cuphead. Enjoy! ***** Chapter 1 ***** Chapter 1: The Secret To End All Secrets Since the day Mugman and Cuphead defeated the Devil and freed all the debtors, Cuphead saw Mugman as a different person. "But, why would he forgive me?" Thought Cuphead. "If anything went wrong we could've ended up burning in Hell right now. That's not just something you forgive." Since that day, Cuphead pondered on that thought. (5 years later) Cuphead and Mugman are now teens who live under the watchful eye of the wise Elder Kettle. Elder Kettle just let the two do what they wanted, when they wanted. He knew the debtors-turned-friends would watch out for the two. This gave Elder Kettle some extra time to think on how he was going to tell them his secret. "I know it will break their hearts but...but... I have no choice. I can't just leave them hanging." His thoughts are interrupted by Mugman's deeper voice. "We're headed to Baroness's castle Elder Kettle! See you later!" "Take care boys!" Replies Elder Kettle. They closed the door and a sad look cane upon Elder Kettle's face. It was time to tell them. On the way to Baroness's castle, they decided to stop and see Goopy. Goopy was reading his news paper alone in the forest with lensless glasses on his face. "Hey Goopy!' Said Cuphead. "I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT ELDER KETTLE'S SECRET! I'M TELLING YOU!?!" Screamed Goopy having been shocked suddenly. "Wait, what secret?" Asked Cuphead with a concerned look in his face. Goopy looked left and then right before turning into a gravestone and sliding away at full speed. "Secret? What did he mean? Is Elder Sick? Does he have a girlfriend? Is he a spy?" Thought Cuphead. These thoughts filled Cuphead's mind. He was snapped out if his trance by a sudden hand that tapped him on the shoulder. Cuphead turned to see Mugman. Cuphead was now determined to find out what the secret was. If Goopy knew, all of Inkwell has to know. Goopy was the last person you could trust with a secret. "This has to be serious." Said Cuphead. "I was thinking the same." Replied Mugman. Cuphead then turns, grabs Mugman's arm, and speed walks over to Baroness's place to get answers. When at Baroness's, Cuphead bammed on the door. "Uhh Cuphead, don't you think you may be overreacting a little? He may just be planning a surprise party for your birthday. After all, it is next week." Said Mugman. But secretly, he really wanted to know what was happening. He even secretly didn't know what a casino was. Mugman always liked to play the older role. "HELL NO! If it was a party, he wouldn't tell Goopy first. GOOPY LE GRANDE!?!" Baroness Bon Bon opened the door. "Oh hello boys, want some tea?" Asked Baroness holding down a tray of tea and crumpets. "Baroness, you'd never lie to me right?" Asked Cuphead. "Why no, never." Replied Baroness. "Then what is Elder Kettle's big secret?" Asked Cuphead. Baroness started sweating and a tear drop formed I in her left eye. It ran down her face and down her dress until it disappeared in the pink fabric. She then turned around, ran into her castle, and ran onto the roof. She ordered the Castle to turn around and run the other way. After seeing this reaction, Mugman got really concerned. Baroness Von Bon Bon was the most honest person they knew. "C'mon Cuphead, let's ask the Root Pack." Said Mugman worriedly. Cuphead nodded as they ran off. Baroness grabbed her walkie talky and called every boss. "QUICK, THE BOYS ARE HEADED YOUR WAY! DON'T TELL THEM THE SECRET!" Said Baroness as she wiped away tears. The boys reached The Root Pack and right away they saw Psycarrot, Moe Tato, and Weepy. "Guys, what is Elder Kettle's big secret?" Asked Mugman as Cuphead tapped his feet with his arms crossed. Weepy cried and fell into Moe's arms causing Moe to cry as well. Even Psycarrot cried a little. They all disappeared underground. "That's it!" Yelled Cuphead. We're gonna ask everyone. Nobody answered Mugman or Cuphead's questions. Grim Matchstick flew away, Dr. Kahl froze up, Sally Stageplay disappeared into her audience, Baroness Von Bon Bon ran away on her castle, Hilda Berg turned into a moon and zoomed into space, Rumor Honey bottoms dipped into her honey, Cagney Carnation's KNOCKOUT was triggered, The Root Pack cried then dipped underground, Goopy Le Grande turned into his final phase and slid away, Beppi the clown jumped off his carnival ride, Ribby and Croaks turned into a coin machine and just stood there, Phantom express sped up the train, Cala Maria Dove underwater, Wally Warbles went back inside his house, Werner Werman got in his cat and made it run off, and Captain Brineybeard sunk his own ship. There was only one person left to talk to, and that was Djimmi the great. Cuphead and Mugman arrived worn out by all the running. Djimmi sweated like crazy. Cuphead figured it was because of the desert sun. They had learned one thing from Beppi though. He freaked out and said 'You've noticed the hair loss?' before he jumped off his carnival ride. Cuphead walked up to Djimmj expecting the same reaction. Cuphead decided to take a different approach instead. "Djimmi," said Cuphead. "Yes little buddy?" Said Djimmi in a trembling tone. "Can I make a wish?" Asked Cuphead. "Anything for you pal! After all you did free us from the dev..." He was cut off by Cuphead. "I wish to know what Elder Kettle's secret is." Djimmi sweated even more knowing it was his job to make wishes come true, but he could not tell the two his secrets. He made up a quick lie. "I'm not allowed to do that, that's against the rules." Said Djimmi, proud of his lie. "DJIMMI I WILL..." Cuphead was now cut off by Mugman. "No, let's not pressure him. Cuphead, we should leave." Said Mugman. They walked away a few steps and Djimmi sighed in relief. As they were walking, Mugman came up with a plan. Speaking as loudly as he could, he asked Cuphead: "What's the name of that thing that causes hair loss again?" Djimmi couldn't help but overhear and answer. " Oh, you mean cancer?" Djimmi Quickly covered his mouth and disappeared. Cuphead had the scariest, most shocking look on his face. He stared at Mugman who shared a similar look. "OH NO!" ***** The secret to end all secrets ***** After hearing this, Cuphead and Mugman ran as fast as they could back home. Mugman was what felt like a mile ahead of Cuphead. Mugman cried harder than he ever did. Cuphead was shocked and couldn't even shed a tear. They arrived home and all of Inkwell was there. They ran up to the crowd and asked where Elder Kettle was. "Ok. We can't hide it any more." Said Hilda Berg. "Honey, Elder Kettle has..." Hilda was cut by a door swinging open. Dr. Kahl came out the house with tears in his eyes and intertwined fingers. He slowly walked up to Cuphead and Mugman. Cuphead knew what was coming. Mugman had a look that took Cuphead back to his childhood. "No. Don't say it!" Said Cuphead crying. "Don't say what?" Asked Mugman. Cuphead couldn't bare to hear the news. "D-don't say it... Please." Cuphead fell to his knees. Mugman looked down at Cuphead then back at Dr.Kahl. With teary eyes Dr. Khal said four words that would change Cuphead and Mugman's lives forever. "He didn't make it." Hearing these four words was like taking a sword to the heart. Mugman slowly stepped back. "No... He can't be..." Rumor Honeybottoms tried her best to comfort him. "Honey, we know your hurt but, he's in a better place now." Mugman's sadness then turned to anger. "DON'T TRY TO COMFORT ME NOW!" Yelled Mugman. "We were just trying to help." Said T-Bone. "THEN WHY THE HELL DIDN'T YOU TELL US? HUH?" A sudden silence fell upon the group. "That's what I thought." Said Mugman. He felt as if the ocean were in his eyes. Mugman spit on the ground in front of the crowd causing a mix of gasps and more crying. He then turned and headed for the forest. " I feel so bad." Said Baroness Von Bon Bon. Cuphead tried his hardest to pull himself together and get his words out. "Don't feel that way." said Cuphead, still full of grief. "It's not your fault. There was nothing you could do." "We are deeply sorry for your loss." Said Sally Stageplay. Cuphead didn't respond. He just stood and tried to prevent himself from crying even more. While he was pulling himself together, Beppi decided it would be a good time to call someone to take Elder Kettle's body away. "Hello, we need a coroner over at Inkwell isle one." Saud Beppi. Hearing these words made Cuphead burst out in tears. Djimmi went over to comfort him. Cagney slapped the phone out of Beppi's hand to the ground and put his hands on his hips. "You may want to catch up with Mugman," suggested Grim Matchstick. "We'll take it from here." Cuphead wiped away some of his tears and looked up. Be nodded at the crowd before walking, dragging his feet toward the forest. Funeral arrangements were made that day. They decided to hold the funeral at the Baroness's castle the very next day. They would all pitch in to help pay for funeral arrangements. They realized that to get to Baroness's castle, they would have to carry his body pass through the forest. They could only hope that they didn't run into Cuphead and Mugman. What Mugman said really struck Baroness hard. 'Why couldn't it be me?' She asked herself. ***** Forest Forlorn ***** Chapter Summary Mugman is completely torn apart and needs his brother's help. After 23 minutes of searching, Cuphead caught up with Mugman. He knew that in order for this plan to work he would have to stay strong and not cry. Mugman was laying on the forest floor cradled up like a child. Seeing as this was his normal place of grieving, Cuphead came prepared. "Need a blanket Mugs? I got one here for you." Mugman didn't answer. A long silence fell upon the two until Mugman spoke. "You don't have to comfort me, it's not your fault. I know you're sad too. But it wasn't your fault. IT WAS THOSE NO GOOD DEBTORS! We should have gave those contracts to Satan when we had the chance." Cuphead was shocked by this and almost started crying. "Look Mugs, they don't control who dies. They are just as hurt as we are." "Well they could have at least told us." Silence fell upon the forest once more. A sound of footsteps caught the brothers's attention. They looked back to see Beppi, Grim Matchstick, Goopy, and Baroness carrying Elder Kettle's body. They had covered it with a sheet. Baroness saw Cuphead and called out to him. "I... I'll be right back Mugs." Said Cuphead. He gave Mugman his blanket and sped off toward Baroness. "What is it Baroness?" Asked Cuphead. "Well, I just wanted to let you know that the funeral will be tomorrow at my castle, and it will be at 9:00 AM." Said Baroness. "It will be open-casket." Cuphead was confused. He thought that was against the law for sure. Weren't bodies supposed to be in the morgue for a couple of days just to make sure the person was deceased? Cuphead pushed that thought to the back of his mind and gave Baroness a warm hug. "Thanks Baroness." "You're welcome honey." Baroness looked back at Mugman and waved. Mugman turned his head and flicked her off carelessly. Baroness frowned and teared up before picking up the hospital bed again and walking away with the rest Cuphead went over to Mugman with a disappointed look on his face. "THAT WAS UNNECESSARY MUGMAN!?! YOU HURT HER FEELINGS!?! DON'T YOU KNOW SHE'S ALSO FULL OF GRIEF?" Mugman gave an evil laugh. "You know where she can stick that grief?" Cuphead was shocked by these words. "MUGMAN!" Mugman's face turned serious again. "She is a damn liar. In fact, THEY ALL ARE! THEY KNEW HE WAS DYING AND THEY DIDN'T TELL US!" Cuphead has had enough drama for one day. "We'll have this conversation later." Cuphead layed in front of a tree beside Mugman. Mugman looked over to Cuphead and noticed a wet spot on his shoe. But it was dry all day and they hadn't been near water that day. "Why Is your shoe wet?" Asked Mugman. "When you spit, you really must learn to aim." Replied Cuphead. Cuphead fell asleep right after. Mugman stayed up and looked at his shoe. For some reason, the spit on his shoe bothered him more than it should have. He felt as if he had violently beaten his brother. After about 3 hours, Mugman managed to cry himself to sleep. Cuphead woke up a little after Mugman fell asleep and watched his little brother. He reflected on the day they had. He remembered standing in front of Dr.Kahl and looking at Mugman's face at seeing the Mugman from 5 years ago. Young, innocent, and always followed Elder Kettle's rules. Cuphead always thought he was cute. In fact, every time he would drag Mugman into something, he'd always try to think of a place that is quiet and beautiful. He figured if he made a move while Mugman was still young, it would be easier to gain his love. And he wasn't talking about brotherly love. Cuphead snapped himself out of his flashback and looked between his legs. He had a pole growing between them. Cuphead wasn't in the mood to jack off so he decided to just let it go away on it's own. He layed back down and was facing the back of Mugman. Cuphead closed his eyes to block the view of his brother's hindquarters. He closed his eyes and began to think to himself. He suddenly felt something rub up against his bulge. He opened his eyes to see Mugman had rolled over and had his sweet buns against Cuphead's man meat. Cuphead wanted to take off his clothes and pound his brother so hard right now. I mean why not? He was right there. But that wasn't the way Cuphead wanted to win his brother's heart. Cuphead kissed his sleeping brother on the forehead and said; "Another day my love." He cried himself to sleep but little did be know, Mugman wasn't sleeping. He'd caught on to Cuphead's plan years ago and had mutual feelings. Now he knew why the spit bothered him so much. Did he ruin his chance? Mugman too pushed his thoughts aside and decided to get some rest. After all, he did have a funeral to attend. ***** The Funeral ***** Mugman woke up at 8:00 and streched. He looked up to see he was now in his bed. He took a huge sniff and smelled a familiar smell. But he couldn't quite put his finger on it. Not ham. Not a pizza. Not burgers. Finally he figured out what the smell was. BACON! Cuphead woke up at 7:50 that morning and started on breakfast. He heard Mugman walking down the stairs. "Good morning ba... I m-mean Mugman!" Said Cuphead. The fact that they were the only two in the house now had him thinking they were a couple for a moment. "Breakfast is ready. Hurry up and eat. The funeral's at nine." "What will we wear?" Asked Mugman. Cuphead let out a sigh because he knew that Mugman would hate his answer. "Well, Baroness left two brand new suits for us and ..." He was cut off by Mugman. "I'd rather go naked." Cuphead just shook his head and turned to the stove. Mugman was hurt by this action. He rubbed his arm and got ready to speak. "Wait Cuphead..." Cuphead turned around to listen. "I... I'm sorry." Cuphead accepted this apology by presenting Mugman with a plate full of Ba con. "Hurry up and eat ya goof!" Mugman smiled and headed over to the table to eat. They walked over to the Baroness's castle and went inside. Everyone was there. Baroness had a seat in the front right row reserved for them. "Look Mugman, Baroness sewed out names in the seat!" Mugman rolled his eyes. "At least the bitch did something right." He said it loud so anyone and everyone could hear. Rumor Honeybottoms decided to speak with him. "Sweetie, you shouldn't be speaking that wa..." She was cut off by Mugman "You can suck my dick. You had no sympathy when you didn't tell me my caretaker was gonna DIE!?!" Rumor backed up and started tearing up. "Don't worry," whispered Ribby."He is just going through some stressful times. He doesn't mean it. Just give him time and space." The funeral started. Since this was a royal funeral, things worked slightly different than usual. The casket had not yet been brought in. Baroness came forth and ordered the guards to bring in the casket she had made by herself. It was a golden casket made entirely out of real, pure gold. Secretly, Mugman thought it was the most beautiful thing ever, but he needed someone to take his anger out to on... Right? "Oh wow. Anyone can shit in a rectangular box and call it a casket." Said Mugman. Baroness just took a deep breath, and tried not to cry. The funeral had begun. Baroness, Rumor, Blind Spectar, Hilda Berg, and weepy did some preaching. Ribby, Psycarrot, Dr.Kahl, and Werner Werman did some singing. And Cuphead and Beppi did some words of comfort. Cala Maria was inside a giant tank due to the fact that she needed water to live. She did some singing too. But now was the moment they'd been dreading, the final viewing. Mugman closed his eyes as Baroness raised his body. Cuphead grabbed his hand and reassured him everything would be alright. Mugman pulled himself together and opened his eyes. Elder Kettle's body was now fully raised. From a distance, Mugman could see that Elder Kettle was dressed in a black button-up suit and a flower was in the shirt pocket. Mugman didn't mind but he wanted the debtors to feel the same way he did. "Wow how classic, black suit and... And flowers. Wha- what idiot came up with... That idea?" Mugman said between sobs. Baroness heard him and Burst out in tears as she ran to a room in the back of the Castle. Mugman and Cuphead walked up slowly to the casket and looked in. Mugman immediately dropped to his knees and sobbed. Cuphead cried while standing over his now dead caretaker's casket. He saw a small crack under his eye. Rumor Honeybottoms went up to comfort the two of them. She rapped an arm around Cuphead and tried to wrap one around Mugman but he pushed her away. Cuphead rapped her arm from around him and held it. He then bent over and hugged Elder Kettle's body. His body was darker now and he had small cracks all over his body. Mugman, still on the floor cried louder than anyone ever has. It was then when Cuphead looked down, eyes full of tears, and noticed that Mugman was wearing the suit Baroness had given them. He took this as a good sign. It meant that Mugman was calming down. After the final viewing, everyone stepped outside to Baroness's backyard, where she had her personal cemetery. Mugman wanted to finish this and go home so that he could grieve in peace. "Can we hurry this up? I can't bare anymore." Said Mugman weeping. "We need the Baroness before we can bury him. She is in charge." Said Cagney. "I'll go get her." Said Hilda. She went off to get Baroness. Cuphead used this time to speak with Mugman. "You know, Baroness put a lot of time and effort into this funeral right? She had a tea party to attend in France today but she cancelled it for us." Mugman shrugged. "She even payed for everything. You know she cares right?" Said Cuphead. Mugman sighed. "I guess you're right." Suddenly, Hilda Berg came running out and yelling. "BARONESS IS ABOUT TO KILL HERSELF!?!" Cuphead looked at Mugman. Mugman had a look in his face. A look that said 'No! I can't lose a loved one. Not again.' Everyone ran back inside to save Baroness. ***** Grabbing life by the rope ***** Mugman and Cuphead was ahead of the crowd. They ran into the only room they saw with light coming from it. Mugman couldn't help but blame himself. He knew he caused this and he had to fix it, AND NOW! They reached the room where Baroness is tying a rope around her neck. "Baroness, NO!" Cried Moe Tato. "We need you!" Cried Captain Brineybeard. Hilda flew upwards toward Baroness but Baroness said some shocking words. "Stop! Come any closer, and I will jump! BACK UP!" Said Baroness as she teared up. "Please Baroness, get down!" Cried Cuphead. "I didn't mean anything I said Baroness! I'm sorry!" Yelled Mugman. "Don't apologise Mugman, you are right. I should've told you the truth and now, I need to die to make things right. I have a debt to pay with Satan himself." Said Baroness. Mugman had to come up with a plan quickly. He couldn't approach her because she would jump. He knew he couldn't sleep knowing that his most trust- worthy friend had killed herself. Baroness was like a mother to him. She ways provided what he and Cuphead needed, when they needed it. "BARONESS!" Screamed Mugman. Baroness Von Bon Bon looked at him through watery eyes. "Do you remember when we were fighting when we had to collect your soul contract? Baroness wiped away her tears and nodded. " Remember when Cuphead and I said we would save you from the Devil, and you handed over your contract? You were the only person with enough faith to just hand over your contract! Baroness, you are like family to us and...and... and we can't live without you. If you kill yourself, so will I." Baroness was shocked by these words. "And so will I." Cuphead added. He grabbed Mugman's hand and Mugman felt and electric-like wave go through his body. He was suddenly calmed. "So will I!" Yelled Goppy Le Grande. All the debtors yelled the same thing and they all grabbed hands. Beppi and Hilda even sat on the edge of Cala Maria's tank and threatened to drown themselves right there and then. Baroness knew that her friends really cared. She smiled at Mugman and started to undo the rope. She ended up slipping on her dress and slipping. With the rope still tied, she started to free-fall. She thought her life was over but suddenly, she felt a hand lift her upward and to safety. It was Hilda Berg. Everyone cheered as Hilda brought Baroness back to the floor. "Baroness, I'm sorry." Said Mugman. "I know that you cannot control who dies and who lives and it was wrong of me to take it out on you all. The casket is beautiful, the second most beautiful thing I have ever seen." Mugman hoped nobody asked what the most beautiful thing he'd ever seen was, but it happened. "What's the most beautiful?" Asked Beppi. Mugman hesitated before giving his answer. "W- well, the most beautiful isn't a t- thing actually, it's a person. I've known them all my life and I could never do anything without him." Nobody seemed to notice that Mugman had said him instead of her, well, nobody except Cuphead at least. Mugman tightened his grip on his brother's hand causing Cuphead to blush. "Now come along," said Baroness, "we have a burial to finish." Back at the gravesite, Cuphead pondered on who the "him" was that Mugman thought was so beautiful. It couldn't be any debtors because he didn't know them all his life. He had to be talking about Elder Kettle. Cuphead grinned and leaned over to whisper to Mugman. "That was sweet what you said about Elder Kettle back there." "I didn't give any words of comfort." Said Mugman. "I mean when you said he was the most beautiful person you'd ever seen." Mugman blushed and said " I wasn't talking about Elder Kettle." Cuphead was confused now. There was only one person he could have been talking about and that was... Cuphead. "We are gathered here today for the burial of a dear friend." Began Baroness. "He was a good man, worker, and joke teller, but a even better friend. And an even better caretaker." She stopped and winked at Mugman who winked back. "He shall return to the Earth from which he came. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. We bury thee thy brother, in the name of the father..." Cuphead grabbed Mugman's hand and he it tight. "...in the name of the son..." Beppi and the Root Pack started sobbing. "...in the name of the Holy ghost." Goopy, Mugman, Cuphead, and Baroness lowered the casket. Cuphead then remembered something. Elder Kettle always said he wanted to be cremated. Cuphead whispered in Baroness's ear and she gave a little chuckle. He then whispered in Mugman's ear and he gave a smile. "You remembered what he said 8 years ago?" Asked Mugman. Cuphead nodded. They raised the casket and turned toward the crowd. Baroness raised her cane. "GUARDS! Take this wise man's body to the cremation chamber. The guards came and carried the casket to the cremation chamber. As they all waited outside, they heard a sudden loud shatter. Baroness's heart sank into the bottom of her stomach. Cuphead and Mugman nearly passed out, and the rest of the people gasped and cried while some passed out. The guards came back with a small jar of shattered glass. "Wh... What is th- this?" Asked Baroness. "Oh it's the old man's cremated parts." Replied a guard that was sweating. " How did y- you finish this s-so... So... So fast?" Asked Baroness. "Well we figured since he was made of glass, it would be easier to just, ya know, SLAM! Heh heh!" Replied the second guard. Cuphead passed out on the spot while Mugman and Baroness boiled with anger. "YOU DID WHAT!?!" Yelled Mugman. " Baroness called her other guards (The gumball machine, candy corn, muffin, jawbreaker, and waffle) and made a slicing motion with her hand across her neck. "OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!?!" Yelled Baroness. The guards trembled in fear and begged and pleased for their lives but Baroness would not change her mind. Mugman felt the same way. He felt as if they deserved more than beheading. "OH, AND BEHEAD THEM WHILE THEY INHALE CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING!" Yelled Baroness. Mugman smiled and nodded in approval. That evening, Cuphead and Mugman went home with Baroness. She cleaned up their house with the help of Cala Maria, Hilda Berg, Sally Stageplay, and Rumor Honeybottoms. Girls are the best at cleaning after all. (I am a guy by the way). Baroness cooked dinner for herself and Cuphead and Mugman before they went to bed. After an hour, Cuphead was sure that Mugman was sleeping. He wondered about what he said earlier. Cuphead walked slowly and quietly over to Mugman who pretended to sleep. He kissed Mugman's forehead and said "Another day my love." He went back to his bed and layed down. "Yes my love, another day." Mugman whispered to himself, as a single teardrop formed in his eye. He fell asleep about 10 minutes later. ***** Behold, the truth ***** Chapter Summary Mugman needs to talk to someone about his feelings... The next morning, Cuphead was asleep while Mugman was already awake. If was 9: 00 in the morning and since they had no school, they were free to do what they wanted. Mugman walked over to Cuphead who was asleep (for real this time) and kissed him on the forehead. Mugman still had a deep pain in his heart from loosing Elder Kettle though. Mugman walked downstairs and saw a note in the stove. Beside the note were two plates of Hash browns, bacon, grits, eggs, sausage, and buiscits. Mugman read the note. It was from Baroness. It read 'I'm going to run a few errands boys. Be right back.' This really bothered Mugman. He needed to speak to her immediately! There was only one phone in the house and Cuphead always kept it in his pocket. Mugman needed that phone, even if it meant digging in his brother/lover's pants. Mugman slowly walked up the stairs. He reached the top step which creaked a little. He reached the bedroom. As he walked slowly over to Cuphead he could only hope that Cuphead didn't awake. When be reached Cuphead, he slowly dug in his pocket. Mugman felt around to find the phone. He touched something hard and thinking it was the phone case, he tugged on it to get it out of Cuphead's pocket. Mugman wondered what kind of phone Cuphead had. Why was the phone long, hard, and warm? Mugman didn't suspect a thing until Cuphead moaned in his sleep. Mugman immediately pulled back and blushed as hard as he ever had. He backed up a bit and bumbed into a dresser. He looked behind him quickly while still blushing, to see Cuphead's phone was right behind him, charging on the dresser. He grabbed the phone and quickly ran out of the room. Mugman ran back to the living room. He sat on the chair and was distracted by his own bulge. He had never been so horny. He saw pre oozing through his shorts. Mugman knew he had to talk to Baroness, AND NOW. He called Baroness and she picked up after the third ring. Baroness: Hello Mugman: Baroness, we need to talk Baroness: About what? Mugman: The person I'm in love with. Baroness: What about him? Mugman: Well, ever since Elder Kettle passed I dec... WAIT WHAT? HOW DID YOU KNOW IT WAS A GUY? Baroness: Why do you think I was "running errands"? I wanted to give you and Cuphead some alone time. Mugman: But how did you know? Baroness: I might have kinda sorta ease dropped on you two last night. I remember someone saying "Another day my love." Mugman: So I guess I don't have to explain myself. But I do have one question. Baroness: And that is? Mugman: How do I tell him? He's my brother. Baroness: Well, he seems to be interested in you already. Just make your move. Mugman: But...but w- what would Elder Kettle s-say? Baroness: He would be understanding. He was always an understanding guy. Look, do you really love him like you say? Mugman: HELL YAH! Baroness: Then you'll do whatever it takes. I will be "running errands" for a couple years which leaves you two alone. Plenty of time to make your move. (Note: if you don't understand what I mean by errands, she isn't coming back at all so Cup and Mug can live together) Mugman: You know what, you're right! I'm going to do it! Baroness: Good! By the way, Cuphead talked to me yesterday about his feelings for you as well. GO GET HIM! Mugman nodded as he hung up the phone. He realized that he hadn't really apologise to the other debtors- turned-friends and be still had the phone. He made a group chat with all the Inkwell island residents and sent their text: "I am sincerely sorry for my actions. I just needed time to calm down, and it wasn't right of me to take my anger and pain out in you all. I hope you all can find it in your heart to forgive me but if you don't, I don't blame you. My actions were unforgivable." He then pressed the home screen to hide all evidence that he was on his brother's phone. He got even harder when he saw the background pic. It was a picture of Cuphead shirtless in nothing but his underwear. Mugman could see his pubic hair leading down to his crotch. There was sweat all over his eight pack. Mugman remembered this day. It was the day that they ran track during Ribby and Croaks's public training day. Mugman had a six pack himself. Elder Kettle always kept them well fit. "I have to win his heart." Said Mugman. ***** Tier 15 ***** Chapter Notes This chapter will have sexual content. If you don't like sexual content, I suggest you skip this chapter. Thanks! Cuphead woke up at 11:00 and immediately went to put on his shoes. He realized that his shoes were shinier than yesterday. "Did Baroness clean these?" He asked himself. He shrugged and then put on his shoes. He was use to Elder Kettle polishing his shoes for him. Cuphead saw a note next to his left shoe. Mugman left Baroness's note there on purpose. Cuphead read the note and decided to keep his shirt off. After all, it was hot and he was sure Mugman wouldn't mind... right? Cuphead grabbed his phone and saw that he had one new message. He read it and was confused. It was from Mugman. "How'd he get a phone?" Mugman asked himself. The message read "Morning bro. When you get up, put on some fancy clothes and come to the dining room." Cuphead had no idea why he needed fancy clothes but he obeyed. He wore the suit Baroness gave them the day before and walked out of the room. He headed downstairs to the dining room and the lights were dimmed. Cuphead saw light coming from over the dining room table. He inspected the table for a while to see what was on it. He sniffed the air and could immediately tell what the smell was. Spaghetti. Cuphead looked at the head of the table and Mugman was there dressed in the clothes that Baroness gave him. "Morning Cuppy!" Said Mugman. Cuppy? That was something Mugman never said. Cuphead sat down unsuspectingly and replied. "Morning Mugs. Did Baroness make all this?" Mugman smiled and said "Nope. I did." Cuphead was suprised. "And question, how'd you afford a phone?" Mugman's smile faded. "From my half of the inheritance." Cuphead gasped. He'd forgotten about the inheritance!"But that's not important right now." Said Mugman. Cuphead looked at the way the table had been set up and the lights had been dimmed. He heard light soothing music that was barely hearable. "Wow Mugs! You really thought this out! If I didn't know any better I'd say this was a date!" Cuphead's eyes widened as he looked at the spaghetti. There was only one bowl and two forks inside. "Who said it wasn't?" Replied Mugman. Cuphead blushed so hard you'd think his cheeks were covered in tomato paste. Was this real? Was he dreaming? A silence fell over the dinner table for a good two minutes. Cuphead needed time to think. His thoughts were interrupted by Mugman's voice. "Look Cup, we can't just keep denying our love for each other, especially not right now. There is nobody else that will love as much as I do and there is nobody who will love me as much as you do. Since Elder Kettle's no longer here, we only have each other." Cuphead sighed whilst rubbing his neck. "Jeez Mugman I just don't know." Mugman looked over to Cuphead in a serious mood before pulling out a piece of paper and sighing. "Read this Cup." Cuphead reached for the paper and read it. 'Boys, there's not much I can say right now because I my have a couple of minutes but listen, I want you boys to stay strong. Don't break apart no matter what, even if it means beating the Devil again. I will ways love you boys. -Elder Kettle Cuphead teared up as he folded the note and handed it back to Mugman who started tearing up as well. After they pulled themselves together, Cuphead stood, and walked over to Mugman. He grabbed Mugman's hand and playfully pulled him out of his chair. "Where are we going?" Asked Mugman. "Don't worry" replied Cuphead. Cuphead pulled Mugman I into his room and pushed him on to his bed. Mugman knew what was coming. Suddenly, Mugman wasn't sure if he really wanted this. "Uhh Cuphead, are you sure you want to..." Mugman was cut off by warm lips pressing against his. Cuphead pulled Mugman into a loving, warm kiss. He grabbed the back of Mugman's head and forced him to kiss back. Mugman suddenly felt a tongue work it's way into his mouth. He felt Cuphead's tongue searching his mouth, EVERY CORNER IF IT! Mugman started enjoying this and closed his eyes to embrace this moment. They separated after about a minute for breath. "Cuphead... I... n- need you in... inside of me." Said Mugman between breaths. Cuphead didn't hesitate to do this. He took off Mugman's shirt and threw it to the floor as Mugman did the same to him. Cuphead layed on top of Mugman, his eight pack rubbing up against Mugman's six pack. Be kissed and licked lovingly on Mugman's neck causing him to blush and moan. Mugman had the cutest moan Cuphead could ever imagine. Cuphead lifted off of his brother and unzipped his pants. Mugman did the honors of pulling them down. He saw Cuphead's cock bulging in his underwear, begging to be free. Mugman could not wait any longer. He carelessly ripped off Cuphead's the underwear and stared at the vessel in his hand. He stared at a 15 inch long, 8 inch thick cock. The viens were bulging out and throbbing. His tip oozing with pre. Mugman wanted it in him so badly. Cuphead didn't want to hurt Mugman in any way. "M...Mugs, t- take your time. I know... your not used to th... this but you can h... handle it." Mugman didn't care if he was hurt, he just wanted to taste it and feel it inside of him. Mugman leaned forward slowly and started carefully licking the tip of Cuphead's cock. Cuphead let out a little moan, which made Mugman feel proud. In no time, Mugman started to suck the tip of Cuphead's cock. Cuphead thought to that was all he could fit in his mouth. After all, Cuphead was pretty big. Cuphead let Mugman do a the work. Mugman started to gain confidence and started using his tongue. This felt even better to Cuphead. Cuphead's moans bacame louder and cuter. Mugman then stopped sucking and pulled Cuphead's cock out of his mouth. "Why'd y-you stop?" Asked Cuphead between pants.Mugman then gave lustful grin before kissing Cuphead's cock, then shoving all fifteen inches down his throat. Cuphead was shocked. He didn't expect that at all. "H-how... How... How did y-you d-do that?" Asked Cuphead. Mugman just winked at him before pulling it out of his throat and saying "Don't be scared, start moving." Cuphead didn't think twice. He grabbed the back of Mugman's head and thrusted forward, shoving his whole dick down Mugman's throat. Mugman didn't gag or even jerk back. In fact, he'd been up the hours that Cuphead had been asleep practicing with a cucumber. After a few tries, he caught on. Cuphead continued thrusting in and out of Mugman's throat repeatedly. Mugman moaned with the cock in his throat, which made Cuphead feel even better. Cuphead was reaching his limit before he pulled out of Mugman's throat. He pushed Mugman to the floor carefully and onto his knees. Mugman jacked him off until Cuphead let out his loudest moan yet. He came more than a gallon of cum all over Mugman's face in a matter of seconds. Mugman layed exhausted on the floor with his bulge still sticking out of his pants and his throat extremely soar. Cuphead, still hard, positioned himself between Mugman's legs. After the extreme blowjob that Mugman gave, he wasn't sure if he was ready for anal. "W- wait Cuphead, I don't think...I'm r-ready for a...anal y-yet." Cuphead smiled. "Whenever you're ready, you can come to me!" Said Cuphead. Mugman nodded. Cuphead noticed Mugman's bulge and quickly removed his pants. Mugman was all worn out, so Cuphead decided to just jack him off... for now. He had a 12 inch cock that was at least 6 inches thick. He came about 5 minutes later. They both shared loving kisses once more before falling asleep on the carpeted floor. ***** More secrets ***** Chapter Summary In order to gain each other's trust, Mugman and Cuphead decided to tell each other their deepest secrets. They woke up about half an hour later. Mugman stretched and yawned. He looked up to see the mess of cum was still there. Cuphead sat up next to Mugman. "Good morning bae " Said Cuphead as he stretched. "You have a little something on your face. Let me get that for you." Cuphead wiped Mugman's face off with his hand. He looked at Mugman who just sat and giggled. "There's a little on your neck too, let me get that as well." Cuphead leaned forward and started to lick Mugman's neck. Mugman let out a small moan before pushing Cuphead back. "Gonna take a lot more than that to get in these cheeks." Said Mugman playfully. Cuphead snapped his fingers. "Man, you're good." Mugman winked. "Now clean up this mess. Don't keep me waiting to long... Cuppy." Mugman switched off still butt naked down the steps. Cuphead was shocked but obeyed. He cleaned up all the mess he made the in headed downstairs to cook breakfast. After Breakfast, Mugman decided to test something. He wanted to know if Cuphead really loved him, or if he just loved his body. "Cuppy..." Cuphead looked up and smiled. "Yeah Mugs?" " How much do you love me?" Cuphead was shocked and slightly hurt by this question. He'd loved Mugman with all his heart. "I love you to the sun and back." Said Cuphead as he grabbed Mugman's hands. Mugman smiled a little, but he needed more proof. "I need more proof than that. I want to know your deepest, darkest secret. And to help us out, I called Baroness." Mugman pulled out his phone and showed Cuphead the number. It was Baroness's number. "Shall we start?" Asked Baroness. Cuphead hesitated a bit. He thought it over and came up with a plan. "Only if Mugman admits his as well." Mugman then started hesitating as well. Baroness noticed the silence and decided to start by giving her deepest secret. "Fine, until you two can work up the nerve to talk, I'll start. Baroness braced herself for what she was going to confess. Mugman and Cuphead listened closely, eager to hear Baroness's deepest secret. "What is it Baroness?" Asked Cuphead. Baroness decided just to let it all out. "Ok. So, you know when I said I was quote "Running errands? Well I lied. I actually went to confess my feelings for Hilda." Mugman and Cuphead were shocked. REALLY SHOCKED. Baroness was a lesbian? "Well, I'm going to go now. Hopefully you two have gained enough courage." Baroness hung up leaving Cuphead and Mugman speechless. "Well that was.. unexpected." Said Cuphead. Mugman cleared his throat and waited for Cuphead to start speaking. Cuphead sighed and grabbed Mugman's hands. "Umm, there are so many. But I have to say my deepest secret is that..." Cuphead stopped and shook for a while. Mugman saw that this secret was very important to Cuphead and he squeezed Cuphead's hand to give him the courage to speak. Cuphead looked up to Mugman. "It's ok babe, take your time." Said Mugman. Cuphead gained a little confidence and spoke. "I am ashamed of this secret but, for you, I'd tell it. I... I raped a little boy." Mugman was shocked. "You did what?" "Just me explain!" Said Cuphead. Mugman settled down and let Cuphead talk. "I was on the playground and I saw this kid. He was black and short but well fit for his age. I pulled him over to Elder Kettle's car and my mind just snapped. Next thing I knew I was balls deep in his ass." Mugman was even more shocked. "He was able to take your size?" "I was only like 8 inches then." Mugman looked at Cuphead. That was still a big size. Mugman realized something then. "Question, was that the day we found that turtle- shaped rock?" Cuphead nodded. "Can you describe him again?" Cuphead began describing the person. "Black, bald, short, well-fit guy." Mugman began smiling. "Did you ask his name?" Cuphead tried to remember. "His last name was McCarthy but I can't remember his first name." Mugman jerked forward "was it Sergio McCarthy?" Cuphead nodded in shock. "How do you know?" Mugman burst out in laughter. Cuphead didn't see what was so funny. "Uhh bro, I just told you that I raped a kid,what's so funny?" Mugman pulled himself together. "Dude, weren't you like twelve?" Cuphead scratched his head "Yeah, I think so." Mugman put his hand on Cuphead's shoulder. "Dude, that guy was like 14 at that time." Cuphead felt embarrassed. All these years he thought he'd raped someone when really he was just sexually assaulted by an older kid. That was still bad but better than rape. Cuphead sighed in relief and chuckled a bit. "Alright Mugs, your turn." Mugman's facial expression suddenly took a sudden dive. He went from happy to traumatized. He wasn't prepared for this at all. Cuphead noticed his sudden mood change and gripped Mugman's arms tight. "Take your time babe." "B- but I can't, i...I p-promised him I w-wouldn't s-say a w-word." Said Mugman, trembling in fear. Cuphead noticed this was deeper than anything he could think of. He needed a different approach. "You would tell it for me." Mugman felt Cuphead pull him into a warm hug. Mugman shed a tear and Cuphead pulled away. "Now Mugman, take deep breaths and start." Mugman's heart raced. He took deep breaths and started to mumble words. "I- I was..." Said Mugman. "You were what?" Asked Cuphead. "I-I was..." Repeated Mugman. Cuphead started loosing patience. "DAMNIT MUGMAN! THIS RELATIONSHIP WILL NEVER WORK UNLESS YOU.. " 'I WAS RAPED!" Interrupted Mugman. Cuphead jerked back in shock and awe. "W-what?" Said Cuphead through teary eyes. " I remember." Said Mugman. "It was a Saturday morning. I was about 11 years old. I went over to spend time W-with the Goopy and... He was there." Cuphead wanted to know who the "He" was. As Mugman spoke, Cuphead noticed a small crack at the top of his head. " I w-walked through th- the f-foresf and I thought it was just my shadow but I-it wasn't. He wasn't." The crack started getting larger. Cuphead watched through teary eyes as the cracks got larger. "I sped up but every time I sped up he was right th-there. I came to a dead end and that's when it happened." Multiple cracks started to emerge in Mugman's face. "MUGMAN! ARE YOU OKAY?" Cried Cuphead concerningly. But Mugman didn't seem to hear him. "I remember him w.. walking up to me, cornering m-me. Every step he took he left a nasty black foot print." There were now cracks all over Mugman's face. Cuphead reached out to touch him but Mugman jerked away. "He walked up to me a- and...and...and kept asking me if I w-wanted to p-play." Mugman looked down at his hands and tears ran down his face. "I-i told him no. He grabbed me by the hand and said we were going to play anyways. He tossed me to the ground and... And started melting. I w-was scared half to death. "Mugman now has crack's from his eyes to his handle. Cuphead quickly grabbed his phone nand dialed Dr. Kahl's number. He answered right away. "DR. KAHL, THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH MUGMAN! GET OVER HERE QUICKLY! Dr. Kahl immediately ran to his car and drove off. Cuphead turned to Mugman. "MUGMAN, SNAP OUT OF IT!" He reached out to grab Mugman's arm. He immediately jerked back. Mugman's body was burning hot to the point that if he were to get touched by anything cold, he'd die. "He looked at me a-and said you're my bitch now. I-i just gave up. He u... undressed me and j-just went at it. He used m-me." The seat started to burn up. Cuphead had no idea how he was going to help Mugman. He hoped Dr.Kahl was close. He forced me to strip him d- down and pulled out what I thought was a f- flagpole. But it wasn't. He thrusted in my throat and inside of m-me." Mugman then turned to Cuphead and said "then he forced m-me to say his name. I said it again and again but it wasn't enough." Cuphead backed up and asked "What was his n-name?" Mugman's entire face filled with cracks and his eyes turned hollow. "H-his name was... It was..." "Bendy." Cuphead covered his mouth in sudden shock. Bendy was his childhood friend. He couldn't believe this. Mugman fell forward off of the couch. Cuphead ran forward and caught Mugman. He was no longer hot, but his face was full of cracks and he didn't speak. Cuphead didn't even hear him breathing. Fearing the worse, he picked up Mugman and ran toward the door. He opened the door to see all of Inkwell's residents. Baroness climbed inside of Hilda Berg, who was in get plane mode, with Dr.Kahl in the back seat. "Bring him here, quick!" Said Dr. Kahl. Cuphead brought Mugman to Dr.Kahl and jumped inside of Hilda Berg. "HILDA, TO THE NEAREST HOSPITAL NOW!" Yelled Dr.kahl. They took off with all of Inkwell's residents not far behind. ***** Doctor's Orders ***** Chapter Notes I usually do gay lemon so if you have any requests, it must be m/m Future stories includes: Alvin X Simon Mordecai X Rigby Thomas X Mordecai X Rigby Gumball X Darwin Michaelangelo X Raphael Bugs X Daffy Swiper X Boots Robin X Kid Flash Beast Boy X Nightcrawler Impulse X Blue Beetle Spiderman X Nightwing Scooby X Tom (from Tom and Jerry) Zuma X Kion Dave X Cody Mike X Brody Mushu X Timon Peabody X Sherman Etc...

If you remember, they were the two brown monkies that always caused trouble on Go Diego Go. Good idea or bad?) Also, every person will be in Teenager form. All of Inkwell's residents were in a race against time. They ran as fast as they could to the nearest hospital, while some flew across the skies. Cuphead looked at his now unconscious brother through teary eyes. All he felt was anger, pain, and sadness. Was this Elder Kettle's way of punishing them? Cuphead couldn't help but wonder why. "Are we almost there?" Asked Cuphead in a worried tone. "It's just down there, HILDA, TGW HOSPITAL'S BELOW!?!" Said Dr.Kahl. Hilda landed right in front of the hospital and as soon as she landed, Dr.Kahl, Cuphead, and Baroness grabbed Mugman and ran into the hospital. Hilda returned to her first form and ran after them. They were so worried that they didn't realize that they'd left the rest of Inkwell's residents behind. (Meanwhile...) Rumor Honeybottoms flew threw the air with Grim Matchstick, Djimmi, Blind Soectar, and Wally Warbles. They carried all the other residents on their backs. They were about 10 miles away from the hospital. "I'm tired from flapping my wings fir the last hour." Complained Rumor Honeybottoms. "There has to be a faster way." "How? It's not like we can teleport." Said Werner Werman. Right after he said that, everyone stared at Djimmi. "Fine. I'm sorry for slipping up and telling Cuphead and Mugman about Elder Kettle's cancer. You don't have to hold it over my head for the rest of my life." Said Djimmi. "Dude...", Said Cagney. "...we need you to TELEPORT US!?!" Djimmi possessed an embarrassed look. "Oh, heh heh... right" Djimmi snapped his finger and just like that, the residents were outside the Hospital. "Do we go in?" Asked Rumor. "It's probably better to stay out here." Said Croaks. "I can't bare to hear more bad news." (Back in the Hospital...) Dr.Kahl rushed Mugman to the nearest open door. Luckily there was nobody inside. Being a licensed doctor, Dr.Kahl took it upon himself to check Mugman out. "He has a pulse." Said Dr.Kahl. " I have a theory but it's not a good one." Cuphead possessed a worried look. Baroness grabbed Cuphead's hand in an effort to comfort him. "I should be jealous." Joked Hilda. Cuphead was shocked. Baroness and Hilda were together!?! Dr.Kahl turned to Cuphead and said "It may be psychnophritis." Cuphead didn't know what psychnophritis was, but it sounded terrible. "What is p-psyc-le, whatever you said." Asked Cuphead in a worried tone. He started tearing up even more than before. "Long story short, he gets so stressed and pressured by a memory that he cracks apart." Cuphead felt his heart sink. He didn't know what he'd do without Mugman. "C-can we save him doc?" Asked Cuphead. "Well..." Replied Dr.Kahl, " I have an antidote but u haven't yet tested it on..." He was interrupted by Cuphead "Do it." Dr.Kahl started shaking. "A-are you sure about this?" Asked Dr.Kahl. "DO IT!?!" Screamed Cuphead. Dr.Khal took a huge gulp and reached into his shirt pocket. He pulled out a bottle of green powder. "This is Floronide. I made it myself. Add this to the blood and it will cure him." "Well do it!" Said Cuphead. "Well y-you see..." Hesitated Dr.Kahl. " it has to be someone else's blood, and it must be within his family." Cuphead frowned at this. He hated needles. A LOT! But for Mugman, he'd do anything. Mugman's body started cracking even more. "HURRY! WE DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME!" cried Hilda. (Meanwhile outside...) The other residents were all pinned you against the door. None could here very well because the room was quite a distance away. They would have to hold inside to hear what was going on. "Rock paper scissors?" Suggested Beppi. "No said Rumor. "This is no laughing matter... 123 NOT IT!?!" Everyone else yelled not me after her, well, everyone except Djimmi, who was still pinned against the door. "Rats!" Said Djimmi as he snapped his fingers. Werner Werman just rolled his eyes at this as Djimmi entered the hospital. Once inside, Djimmi heard noise from the first room. He pinned himself up against the room door and eavesdropped. "HURRY, WE DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME!" When Djimmi heard those words a horrific look fell upon his face. He slowly flew out of the building. "What's going on?" Asked Sally Stageplay worriedly. " Well..." Said Djimmi in a sad tone. "Our little buddy will soon be reunited with Elder Kettle." A large gasp was heard from the crowd as Beppi wiggled like a worm before passing out. (Back in the hospital...) Cuphead knew there wasn't much time, and that he had to give Mugman the Floronide NOW! He also knew that he hated needles. But he couldn't lose Mugman. He'd loose his whole family then. Cuphead grabbed the neee from a nearby drawer, and jabbed it in his arm. This caused Hilda, Baroness, and Dr.Kahl to flinch and go "oooh". Dr.Kahl grabbed the blood sample and poured some Floronide in it. He then ran over to Mugman and jabbed it in his arm. This caused Hilda Cuphead, and Baroness to flinch again and go "oooh". Cuphead grabbed Hilda's hand and held it tight while looking at his brother. The cracks got worse. "Did it work?" Asked Baroness worriedly. "I don't know." Answered Dr.Kahl. Suddenly, they heard rapid beeping. "NOO!" Yelled Cuphead. "WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?" Dr.Kahl's face turned pale. This scared Cuphead even more. "I-it means he's gonna..." Suddenly, they all heard a loud beep...beep...beeeeeee..... Cuphead dropped to the floor beside Baroness. He sat on his knees and stared down at the floor. A long silence fell upon the group. Suddenly, Dr.Kahl let out a mighty wail. This caused Cuphead to put his hands on his eyes and let it all out. He cried and cried. Hilda could see the veins popping out of his head from the frustration and pain. Baroness and Hilda held their heads down in respect, and pain. Suddenly, they heard something that seemed impossible. They heard... beeeeeeeee...beep...beep. Cuphead looked up through teary eyes to see Mugman sitting up in the hospital bed smiling at him. "What's wrong? Did I miss something?" Asked Mugman jokingly. His cracks were suddenly gone, except for a crack in his handle. "MUGMAN! YOU'RE ALIVE!?!" Exclaimed Cuphead as he ran to hug his brother. They hugged for a good while before Cuphead spoke again. "I'm telling you, when I find that punk Bendy, which I will, I'm gonna pound his face in!" Said Cuphead in a sudden angry mood. Mugman just smiled. "Cuphead, you don't have to so that, you just freed him." Cuphead looked back at Mugman with a confused expression on his face. He looked at Mugman's handle to see a thick black liquid seeping through the crack. Cuphead backed up in fear. "Don't be scared Cuppy. He won't bite." He? Who the hell is he? The black liquid then dripped onto the bed sheets and started to form. Cuphead just looked frim a distance and tried to comprehend what was happening. Once the substance formed, Cuphead could tell exactly who it was. He walked up to the now-formed substance. "B-Bendy?" Bendy sat up in the bed and nodded his head while smiling slightly. Mugman knew his brother/ boyfriend was confused, do he explained. "I never finished my story. After he was done raping me he fell to the ground. All the evil and all the lust turned into innocence. O could tell by the look in his eyes. Be looked up to me as if he had just awoken and threw his hands over his mouth. After that, he apologized and grabbed my handle. I was scared. He asked me if I could close my eyes. Though I was scared, I obeyed. When I opened my eyes I was trapped inside my body. He had full control but something told me... That he was afraid. Alone. Depressed." Bendy rubbed his shoulder and began to speak. "I-its true. I had a demon within me that controlled my every move. In order to oust the demon, I needed a pure body. Someone who had a pure, loving heart. I didn't even realize that I raped him til I awoke. I.... I'm sorry." Bendy started crying and wailing. He didn't want things to be that way. Cuphead was his BEST FRIEND! But something didn't add up. It wasn't the fact that Bendy chose Mugman when Mugman had been illegally gambling just a couple of months before, and the fact that Bendy was a demon who was possessed by a lustful demon, but the fact that Bendy had full control of Mugman's body. Did that mean for the last four years he was hanging out with Bendy and not Mugman? Baroness, Hilda, and Dr.Kahl were frozen in shock ever since the machine started beating again. Bendy got up and hugged Cuphead. "You saved me!" Though Mugman didn't want to admit it, he was a little jealous of Bendy hugging Cuphead. But there was still one question that was unclear. "So if Bendy was controlling you all these years, does that mean you really didn't have feelings for me?" Bendy pulled away and turned to Mugman with a toothy, yet friendly, smile. "Care to explain Mugman?" Mugman started explaining. "Well, when I found out that Elder Kettle had cancer, it somehow pulled me out of my body. I really did and still so have feelings for you Cuppy." Cuphead was relieved. "Also," began Bendy, "he wasn't technically trapped in his body for four years. We made an agreement never to tell anyone about my secret. I was afraid of what he'd say or do. I built up trust in him and when you asked about his deepest secret, I gave him permission to tell you. Every now and then I'd let him take control of his body. Mostly when he took showers or when you two were playing." It all made sense now! Cuphead smiled. "Glad to have you both back." Bendy senses some jealousy from Cuphead. He smiled and said "you jealous? Don't be. Boris and I built up a relationship!" Cuphead then loosened up a little. "But I don't have a place to stay now." Said Bendy. Cuphead was hesitant. He sensed something fishy. "Grab my hand you two." Said Cuphead. "For what?" Asked Mugman. "Just trust me." Mugman and Bendy grabbed Cuphead's hand. The , Cuphead did something to that shocked them all. Cuphead nealt down with them and began to pray. They had no idea what of why but they went along with it. After about 3 minutes of prayer, Cuphead looked up at Bendy. He was shaking furiously. Mugman jumped back in fear. Bendy then stood up and let out a loud roar. Right then a green spirit emerged out of Bendy. It was the lustful spirit that happens possessed him. The spirit flew out of an open window, never to return again. "How'd you do that?" Asked Mugman. "Well, ik learned a thing or two after living with Elder Kettle for the past 15 years of my life. Now come on Mugman and Bendy, let's go home." "Wha- happened? Where the hell am I?" Asked Bendy wearily. "Don't worry Bendy, I'll explain on the way home." Said Mugman. They left the hospital and headed home leaving Baroness, Hilda, Dr.Kahl and the rest of the Inkwell residents Frozen in shock. Cuphead was trailing behind and still lost in thought. Mugman looked back and smiled. "Hurry up Cuppy, I think I may be ready for anal. And judging by that bulge, you are too." Cuphead looked down to see he was harder than he'd ever been. Just hearing Mugman's voice turned him on. Cuphead sped up and caught up to Mugman and Bendy. Bendy looked drunk and exhausted. He turned and looked at Mugman and Cuphead.
