Chapter one

It was late in the evening as a small child was blindly walking through a forest. The same forest that reside next to his parent's house, whom repeatedly told him to not enter the forest, but he still entered the forest. He couldn't really help it since he's a very adventurous and curious child. His arms and legs were covered in small cuts and bruises from the branches and sometimes tripping.

He shakily wiped away his tears, trying to see where he was going before he let out yelp, tripping over a lone branch, hitting the ground and earning more scratches. Letting out a whimper, he pushed himself onto his hands and knees and looked forwards, but when he did, he saw a spot of light in the distance, making his face light up and in his excitement, he clumsily got to his feet and started running towards the spot of light.

When he got close enough, he saw that it was a building so he quickly looked around for an entrance and found a broken window, which he quickly entered and immediately felt a sudden change in temperature. He could feel the coldness in his skin quickly being warmed up by the warm temperature inside the building. Then soon enough the warmness started to make the boy drowsy, which caused him to tiredly walk around to a place to sleep but when he saw a table, his child mind decided that it was a good place to sleep so he pushed himself onto the table, using the chair as a stepping stone and curled up in a ball.

Within a few seconds, the boy was finally asleep.

As he was sleeping, a shadowy figure slowly appeared beside the table, looking down at the sleeping child. After a few minutes passed, the figure started reaching towards the child with clawed hands…

...then gently picked the child up and started walking towards one of the empty room to place him in for the night.

He only took a few steps when he stopped, hearing something behind him.

"You know you can't keep that thing here…..might as well kill it" a female voice said, making the figure growl at her suggestion and kept walking, ignoring her.

He manage to find a room with a bed, since he knew that some workers would use it to catch up on some sleep, for the child to sleep and walked towards the bed and placed him down before moving the covers over the child then left the room.

Xxxxxx

The child slowly woke up with a yawn and rubs his eye. Then he started to notice where he was, "Huh?" he tiredly mutters out as he sat up, looking around with a curious expression. Then he got out of the bed and walked out of the room, wanting to explore the area.

Once outside the room, he started wandering around, looking through every crook and turns. When he turn the corner, he suddenly bumped into something and fell down on his bottom. Rubbing his forehead, the child looked up to what he ran into and saw that it was a tall figure.

The tall figure was in all black with some white on their face and hands. It looked like ink was dripping down their face, covering their eyes and their hands looked like claws.

Normally it would look scary to anyone, but not to the child. The child simply stood to his feet, still looking up at the figure and started grinning happily.

"Hi~ I'm Cuphead and you are mister" the child happily introduced himself.

Bendy was silently watching the child in slight shock. He thought that the child was being looking at him in fear, but instead he was staring in curiosity and innocence.

Still curious and shocked, he moved down, crouching in front of the child, still taller than the small child, but it looked like it didn't bother Cuphead.

Seeing that Bendy was leveled with him, Cuphead was still staring at the tall man before walking close to him and reached out, placing his small hand against Bendy's cheek before smiling, feeling the warmness against his small hand and giggles.

Hi Mister" Cuphead greeted Bendy once more with an innocent smile, making Bendy feel warm in his chest.
