Chapter two
It had been a few hours since they met and Bendy had been by little Cuphead's side, keeping him safe since he recently found out that the small child is quite adventurous and instead of stopping him, Bendy was walking beside him, sometimes keeping him away from some rooms that are either closed off or too dangerous to the child and, since there are holes on the floor, Bendy would grab the back of Cuphead's shirt whenever the child trip on the holes and when Bendy placed the child back on his feet, Cuphead would continue walking like he never tripped in the first place.
Bendy felt kinda glad to have some new company since the only company he had was the demented woman, which he hates, so he wasn't too surprised that he felt protective of the innocent child.

"Mister! I'm hungry" Cuphead told Bendy as he grabbed the taller's hand as Cuphead's stomach growled a bit.
Bendy looked down at him for a few seconds before walking, gently leading Cuphead. He walked up to a table before reaching down, placing his hands under Cuphead's arms and picked him up before placing him on top of the table. Then Bendy signaled the child to stay put, whom quickly nodded at him, before leaving to find a few cans of Bacon soup for the child.

Bendy managed to find three cans and felt like that was enough for the child and as he was heading back, he stopped, hearing something behind him. He looked back and scowled, seeing that it as the demented woman again.
"I see that the child is still alive….hehe" the woman said in an amused tone, "Maybe I should pay a visit to hi-" she started saying before she was harshly cut off by a clawed hand wrapped around her neck, cutting off her air.
Bendy lifted her up and growled at her while Alice was gripping Bendy's wrist, trying to make him release her. "Ack! L-Let...g-go!" Alice breathed out as she was struggling. As she was slowly becoming limp, she was suddenly dropped, hitting the ground hard then she started gasping for air, gripping her own neck.
Bendy growled at her one last time before turning around, walking away leaving the woman alone.

Bendy made it back to where Cuphead was, whom face lit up when he saw the tall figure. "Mister!" Cuphead happily called out as Bendy walked towards him before placing the cans on the table before picking one up and using his claw to open the can before handing it to him.
Curious, Cuphead took the can from Bendy and looked inside the can, trying to figure out what it was before lifting it up, sniffing it before taking a small taste before letting out a happy hum, liking the taste and started drinking it more.
Soon enough, Cuphead had managed to finish all three cans, which Bendy was happy that the child wasn't hungry anymore.
Then Cuphead let out a burp before covering his mouth, slightly giggling a bit. The reaction made Bendy happy then he placed his clawed hand on Cuphead's head, slightly petting him, causing the child to giggle more and looked up at Bendy with innocent eyes.
Suddenly Cuphead grabbed Bendy's wrist, pulling it down and hugged his arm, letting out a loud yawn. Seeing that the child is getting tired, Bendy gently picked him up and walked back to the room with the bed. He could feel the child tight gripping his shoulder and cuddling against his chest, making him smile inside.
When he made it to the room, Bendy lifted the covers and gently placed Cuphead down and moved the covers over him, the child started whining and having a tight grip on Bendy's wrist. Mentally frowning, Bendy looked around until he found a plushie version of his other self, so he reached towards it, grabbing it and handed it to Cuphead, whom looked at it for a few seconds before slowly grabbing it then started holding it close as he lay back on the bed.
"Night night mister" Cuphead tiredly said as he slowly fell asleep.
Letting out a low hum, Bendy moved the covers up more, keeping the child warm before quietly leaving.
But in the back of his mind, he knew that he couldn't keep the child here forever.
