Authoress' note: Merry Christmas Eve!
MeliLouiseNorth: Grace really does care about Bendy, don't get me wrong.
Twins 'n Fandoms: Hey, I did promise a mistletoe scene. And I can't wait for the fanart! Ooh... it's gonna be good!
Kitsuneotakugirl91: One thing I love to do is take cliche's and turn them on their head. Guy tricks girl under mistletoe? You see that everywhere. Guy PUKES under mistletoe?! PLOT TWIST!
SLS: I actually found that funny. Put him next to Sammy and you can have the classic "tall, thin villain" and "short, round villain"
TheFandomHopper: "The other fanfic?" I personally don't like ships (I don't hate them, they're just not my thing) but I do like seeing Grace and Bendy together. Grace breaks the chain of stereotypical OC ships, which I really like.
LordMaRiFrizi: THANK YOU! All my friends are like "I do ships hard core!" And I'm like "What's wrong with some childish fluff?!" Nice to know I'm not alone.
gemstarz22 : (Waves) Hurry on board!
InvaderPeppermim: Bendy picked a good girl
JOHNHAMMOND1993: Wish they could have more adventures, but in case it's not obvious, time's running out!
On with the story!
When Henry and the others came back inside, they were greeted by Grace holding a very sick-looking Bendy over her shoulder. Before Henry could ask, Grace simply said, "Bendy threw up." So the crew decided to finish up the gift-giving and head home.
Man, Bendy must have really been sick with something.
After Henry got stuck in 12 chimneys, Alice was almost left behind, Boris stole three cookie jars, and Grace almost fell of an apartment building, the crew was home. The crew was so bushed from the adventure they forgot to ask Santa about their gifts, not to mention they had a living room to clean in the morning.
Grace carried Bendy up to his room, but as she tucked him in Bendy drozyly asked her to stay with him awhile. Grace was reluctant at first, until she felt his forehead. The poor thing was burning up.
What a rotten time to be sick.Grace thought, far more sympathetic to Bendy's request. When she was 10 she had a horrible stomach bug and refused to let her father leave. The former animator had stayed with her all night.
Grace sighed. Bendy was like a little brother to her, leaving him like this seemed cruel. So she snuggled in Bendy's toddler-sized bed. It was like a parent trying to squeeze into their child's bed, her knees bent so she could fit. Bendy snuggled into her neck and purred.
She meant to stay there until he was fully asleep, but her exhaustion seemed to claim her.
Stay alert for tomorrow morning, Bendy fans!
