So this one takes place much earlier on, only a few weeks after Bendy came to life in fact. Little guy is still getting used to things in the real world and Henry's still getting used to the demon himself. Not gonna say much else just enjoy.

Bendy wasn't scared… at least that's what he had been trying to tell himself until a loud bang sounded from the outside of the studio that followed after the loud pounding on the building. Sure he heard rain before but never was it this loud… nor did he ever hear that loud boom follow it before either.

When one sounded very close Bendy dived under on of the tables and started to shudder. Why did it all have to happen when the studio was closed? He was still just getting used to being alone during the night, hell he was still getting used to no longer being two dimensional… this wasn't helping at all.

Where's Joey when you need him? Bendy thought to himself as he shivered in fear under the table. Droplets of ink started to form in the corners of his pie cut eyes as he continued to get lost in his thoughts as another loud boom sounded outside.

I-I don't… I don't wanna be alone right now!

"... Bendy?"

The toon's neckless head perked up at the sound of his name. Did… Did he really just hear someone call for him? Or… was he just imagining things? Peeking out from under the table slowly the living toon's eyes widened at what, or rather who he saw. It was the other person from that day… the day he first came to life. What… What was his name again?

The human noticed him rather quickly and seemed to fidget in place for a moment as Bendy stared up at his soaked form, trying to remember the name he heard Joey call this man.

"Uh… you… you doing alright little guy?" the human asked, breaking the toon from his distracting thoughts. Bendy noticed how the human slowly approached him and seemed to have a rather large bag with him.

"Oh! Peachy really! Just… Just grabbin somethin I dropped," Bendy nervously chuckled, not wanting this man he barely knew to really know how he was feeling at the moment. Though when another loud boom was heard outside he jumped and practically looked around the area in fear. The toon demon flinched when he felt something on one of his shoulders and soon found it was the human's hand there. When did he get so close?

"Hey… it's okay really. Just a storm going on outside is all."

Bendy took note of how soothing the man's voice was. Like he was trying to comfort a child. If he wasn't scared as he was at the moment, Bendy probably would have pouted and tried to push the guy off him… but as it was the toon demon practically nuzzled closer to the human, just enjoying the fact that he wasn't alone at the moment.

Henry himself was surprised at the living toon. It's barely been a few weeks since he found Joey preforming the end of some kind of ritual that brought their creation to life. During the first week the animator actively tried to avoid the toon demon. But more recently he had been seeing, and hearing from the other workers that having the toon around was like having a curious five year old running around.

When he had arrived home from work today he decided to try and give the living toon a chance… and when the rain started he couldn't help but worry. After all from what the animator understood was that Bendy was made of ink… and the studio was known for its fair share of leaks sometimes. So he decided to grab a few things, blankets, pillows, a few jackets, a book or two and a few cans of food just to name a few. He had a feeling it was gonna be a long night after all.

Now here he was sitting here with the toon comforting him like a small child during the storm outside. Henry was glad he removed his jacket before coming up to the toon… who knows what would have happened if the water from it dripped onto the little guy.

The two sat in silence for a bit, the sound of the rain outside had started to soften and the thunder wasn't as loud anymore, much to Bendy's relief. The toon then took the time to actually look up at the animator with a questioning gaze.

"Thanks and all but… whatcha… doing here anyways?" Bendy asked, still trying to remember if he heard the animator's name and also wanting to know why he had come back when it's clearly not the "work hours" as Joey would put them. Not that he was complaining or anything… he actually enjoyed the company.

"Well uh… Two reasons really," Henry rubbed the back of his neck, knowing this question was coming up. Bendy stared up at him as he waited for the answers.

"Well… one this place get's the occasional leak. Wouldn't want any water to damage all our hard work and force us to start over," Henry explained, going into his suitcase and moved the blankets and pillows aside to pull out the few tools he brought with him to do a quick patch of any leak he would find. Sure it was usually Wally's job to do it in the mornings, but Henry made it a habit on the worst nights to come in and do at least a quick run through in the animation department to make sure none of the leaks would mess up their work. Joey and him used to both do it back in the day but more recently it's just been Henry.

"The other reason?"

"... You've… You've never been through a storm before. S-So… So I thought that… that you might need some company to deal with it," Henry explained, slightly nervous still… after all he wasn't sure how the toon would actually handle everything.

Bendy on the other hand was surprised. Not even Joey would spend the night in the animation studio… nor did the studio head ever even think about coming back late at night. Yet this human came back and even seemed prepared to help get rid of the lonely feeling of the night. Slowly that surprise turned into pure joy as Bendy's signature smile made itself known on his paper white face.

"Then what are we waiting for? Come on, come on, there's so much ta do!" Bendy exclaimed, taking Henry's hand and practically dragging him through the studio and practically talking a mile a minute and seemed to throw in a question here and there.

"Ya know how to play anything?" Was one of two that seemed to stick out the most, the second being "OH how about dancing? Ya know how to do that?"

Henry couldn't help but chuckle at how excited the little toon was now, but soon got a little concerned when the toon demon seemed to stop talking and look up at him.

"What's wrong?"

"I…. I don't think I ever got yer name…"

"Oh," that made sense, Henry never did introduce himself properly to the toon… he did run from the room when he first saw him after all. "It's Henry. I'm Joey's friend… and an animator."

"Henry…" Bendy echoed, testing out the name for a moment before beaming bright and shaking Henry's hand rapidly. "Nice ta meet ya Henry! You already know me after all, but it's still nice ta meet you!"

Henry couldn't help but laugh a little, quietly questioning just what he was so scared of with this little guy, he was almost exactly like the toon he would animate.

"Same goes for me little buddy."
