WOLF'S BEST FRIEND

HENRY'S POV

I had gotten up a little while ago expecting to see Boris out and about already but to my surprise his door was still firmly shut with the wolf surely sleeping soundly inside. I didn't check since I didn't want to risk losing what little trust I've gained but I'm sure he's in there, or at least I hope he is.

I decided to find something to entertain myself while I wait for Boris so I began looking around the living room. Besides a lot of music vinyl's 'does Boris listen to all these?' and some... blueprints? There wasn't much that I could find until I checked a box next to the TV and to my surprise there in the box was the entire first season of Bendy and friends for VCR, with the tapes sorted from first episode to last and perfectly intact.

"How did he manage to find all these?" I said outloud but still keeping my voice quiet so I didn't wake Boris.

In the entire time I've been stuck in Joey Drew Studios I've only found film reels or audio only tapes but never VCR tapes. Now that I think about it, besides some Bendy cutouts and a Bendy plush or two I haven't seen any merchandise of the other characters which is strange considering there were plushes and such made for all of them, even some of the lesser known background characters. 'Did the Ink Demon get rid of them all?' I'm not sure just how smart the Ink Demon is since all I've seen it do is creep around and chase me but if it is then maybe it would do that.

I grabbed the tape labeled episode one I popped it into the VCR and making sure the TV volume was low so it didn't wake Boris and sitting on the coach ready to watch the show.

After a few episodes I heard the sound of footsteps coming from the hall and saw Boris slowly enter the living room. He looked at me before turning his gaze to the TV and realizing I was watching the show. He seemed to think for a moment before walking over and sitting on the other side of the coach to watch it with me and putting his feet up on the coffee table in front of the coach.

For a bit we just sat there in silence watching the show, every now again I would look over to see Boris's tail slightly wagging whenever he was on screen.

'That's cute' I thought before turning my attention back to the TV.

After a little while though the silence was broken then Boris turned his head slightly to look at me.

"So about what happened earlier..." He trailed off

I curled in on myself a little as I spoke "I wasn't trying anything I swear. I just thought that you were hurt and wanted to make sure that you weren't... dead."

He paused a bit in thought at what I just said. "Well if that's true... then thanks, for looking out for me and I'm sorry for being so hostile, it's just down here you really can't take any chances and I've already taken a big one by bringing you here and..." he let out a longs sigh "And I'm about to take another one so please don't make me regret it." he finished.

"what do you mean?" I asked

"Ok so hear me out alright? I was thinking... that since you seem at least a little alright and relatively harmless that maybe, you could stay here... with me..."

Ignoring the fact that he called me harmless I couldn't believe my ears. He was offering to let me stay here, with him?

"A-are you sure? I mean it's not that I don't want to take you up on your offer but are you REALLY sure?" I asked just to confirm that this was really what he wanted.

He let out another sigh "Look... you don't seem that bad and, to be honest it would be nice to have some company. It's not that I'm lonely or anything ok? I just think that some pleasant company wouldn't be bad, and you could stay here and be safe." he said turning his head to look the other way.

I looked over at the door across the living room that leads back into the halls of Joey Drew Studios before looking back at Boris who was still looking away from me.

"Well, I don't want to go back out there anytime soon so... yes if you'll let me then I would like to stay here with you." I said making Boris turn his head back to me his face looking a bit brighter before becoming more serious.

"Then before we continue I will let you know that I still don't 100% trust you. I know I just invited you to live with me but like I said I'm taking a chance, a BIG one, so there's still room for me to regret it... but if you don't end up killing me in my sleep one night then eventually we might get there, alright?" I said firmly

"I understand, you're taking a big risk letting a stranger live with you, a nice stranger yes but still a stranger. You're taking a chance on me and I'll try and make sure you don't regret it, oh and it completely slipped my mind this whole time but my names Henry by the way." I said holding my hand out

"Well then Henry lets hope the neither of us regret this and try and make the best of it." he said taking my hand and giving it a firm shake.

After we shook hands or in his case paws Boris stood up and made his way to the kitchen while I stayed and continued watching the show. I was very happy, not only did I meet Boris who actually seems like a good person but he even offered me a safe place to stay. I turned my head towards the kitchen to look at him making a pot of bacon stew and quietly said "Maybe this place isn't so bad."
