When Emily woke up, Bendy was gone and she was under her blankets. She saw a note on her nightstand. She carefully grabbed it and read it.
"Rosie, when you awake and see this note, i await you outside. I would like to talk with you. -Bendy."
Emily thought about it and chose to see what Bendy was wanting to talk about. She stood up from her bed and walked out of her bedroom door.
She walked outside and found Bendy messing around in the yard.
"Bendy?"
Bendy turned his head to see her and smiled.
"Rosie..."
Bendy walked over to her and held her hand.
"I was wondering when you would wake up." Bendy said.
Emily's fear started to grow again.
"Rosie, i know you've been scared of me since you came here, but, i want you to know that i won't hurt you. I don't Want to hurt you. I don't like seeing you so unhappy."
Emily gasped quietly. Does he really care for her?
"I want you to know that if you are sad, scared, or if you need me for anything. I'll be right here. i promise." Bendy said.
"Really?" Emily said.
"Yes. Remember that, okay?" Bendy said.
"O-O-Okay." Emily said.
That night, Emily was resting safely within her bedroom, Well. almost safely. She tossed and turned. sometimes whimpers would come from her.
"No...Please..." She said in her sleep.
"Someone...anyone...help...me..."
Back in his room, Bendy got a sixth sense that something wasn't right. He stood from bed and his senses lead him to Emily's bedroom door.
"Rosie!" He said.
He opened the door and Emily curled up tighter on her bed.
"Rosie? Darlin'?" Bendy called.
"No!" Emily shouted.
"Hold on!" Bendy said, he rushed to her side and shook her.
"Rosie! Sweetheart! Wake up!" Bendy shouted.
Emily gasped and her eyes shot open to see Bendy concerned for her.
"I'm Sorry Bendy. i didn't mean to wake you up." She said.
"No, Rosie. no need for apologies." Bendy said.
Bendy right away took her into his arms and held her in a Cradle.
"You had a bad dream is all. but don't worry. Bendy is here." Bendy whispered.
Emily was shocked at how gentle and soothing he was being.
"Bendy, would you stay with me? i'm afraid." Emily asked.
"Of course i will." Bendy said.
And so, Bendy held her close as she cried.
"Rosie, what was this dream about?"
"You shouldn't know." Emily replied.
Bendy already could guess where she was going with this.
"It was about me? Wasn't it?" Bendy asked.
Emily's eyes widened.
"That answers my question." Bendy said.
"I'm so sorry." Emily said.
"Tell me about it." Bendy said.
She then breathed and explained how he would hold her, whisper to her, and stroke her black hair.
"I see." Bendy said.
Bendy put her down and walked toward the door.
"Wait! No!" Emily said.
Bendy turned to her.
"Yes?" Bendy answered coldly.
"Don't go! Please!" Emily said, running up to him and wrapping her arms around him in fear.
Bendy felt himself calm down and returned her embrace.
"Now now. It's alright. Bendy's right here. You're safe." Bendy cooed.
Bendy pulled her away and looked her in the eyes. Her face. So full of fear.
"I can't leave you like this..." Bendy said.
Bendy pulled her close once more and held her tighter.
"I'll help you through this." Bendy whispered.
"But...How?"
Bendy snapped his fingers and they reappeared on a big fluffy white cloud.
"Eek!" Emily shouted.
"Hey! It's okay, i would Never let you fall." Bendy assured.
And so, they laid against the fluff of the cloud and stared at the stars.
"Why did you bring me up here?" Emily asked.
"You needed something to sooth your mind, what better than stargazing?" Bendy said.
Emily looked back to the stars and smiled.
"It really is pretty. Isn't it?" Emily said.
"You really are." Bendy marveled.
"Hmm?" Emily said.
"Oh, nothing!" Bendy said.
Emily turned her attention back to the night sky. Though, Bendy kept his eyes on her.
Bendy used his tail to bring her closer to his side. Which caused Emily to blush a light gray.
"I'm sorry Bendy."
Bendy turned to her and his face filled with concern.
"For what?" Bendy said.
"I was wrong. you are not a monster. you may be a Devil. But you are a nice Devil." Emily said.
Bendy was touched by Emily's words and caressed her cheek.
"That is amazing to hear Rosie." Bendy replied.
Bendy sighed and decided it was time to start the question.
"Rosie, do you love me?"
Emily gasped and looked up at the devil.
"W-What?"
"Do you remember when i said i would ask a question every night? Well, there's the question. Do you love me?"
Emily thought about her choices, if she said yes. She'd be preparing for a wedding. If she said no. She may upset Bendy.
"N-No..."
Bendy groaned and unwrapped his tail from her, he turned from Emily to think.
"Bendy, i'm sorry! I-"
Bendy sighed to himself and replied, "No Rosie, it's fine, it's only your first week here."
Bendy turned back to face her.
Emily let out a yawn and curled up against Bendy.
"Just relax and close your eyes Darlin', I'll make sure nothing takes you away." Bendy replied.
Emily then fell asleep next to Bendy with his arm and tail wrapped gently around her.
"Goodnight Rosie, my little darlin'."
