Hey sorry this one took so long... was originally gonna post this on Saturday but haha... I had a car accident and broke my leg. I got home from the hospital yesterday and finished this up when I could. Only upside to this is that nothing worse happened and now I get to have quite a bit of time to myself for writing now.

Bendy had trouble sleeping most nights. It had to have been from the fact that most nights he was left alone. Though on the other nights, he was able to have the most peaceful sleep and it had to have been from the fact he had Henry there to thank for that.

Henry relieved the loneliness whenever he could get time to actually spend the night at the studio. He loved those nights so much, even more so when Henry would tell him stories.

It had just started off with Bendy asking Henry about what the outside of the studio was like. It was such a simple question that lead to many stories involving a few things that Henry would describe. Personal stories and experiences played out almost like one of the animated shows and Bendy was hooked and wanted to hear as many as he could.

When Henry ran out of stories he would bring books and the two would find a comfortable sitting position together and read them. Bendy absolutely loved to hear Henry reading them before going to sleep, and would sometimes find himself almost lost in some of those worlds.

But on the nights Henry couldn't spend Bendy found the loneliness suffocating and sleep much harder to come by… But when Boris was brought to life Bendy couldn't have been happier.

It's only been a week since the wolf came to life and Bendy was still excited to have Boris around… especially since it was gonna be another "Story" night with Henry.

"I tell ya Boris you'll love them! Henry knows lot's of good stories!" Bendy exclaimed as he was setting up the usual spot for later that night, it was still an hour till the studio shut down for the night but Bendy wanted everything to be perfect.

"There's one 'bout when he and Joey were kids pulling a prank and everything! OH then my favorite was when they started a street wide snowball fight with all the kids," Bendy babbled on, listing off a few stories he remembered Henry telling about his childhood, especially the ones with Joey in them.

Boris had no clue what Bendy was talking about… but he had to admit Bendy's enthusiasm was infectious and it was much more welcoming than the nervousness he had been feeling since he came to life. The wolf couldn't help but smile at how passionately Bendy tried to explain a few of the stories without giving to much away. Not to mention Boris could feel his own excitement growing.

I dunno what a snowball fight is, but it sounds like fun! Boris thought, letting Bendy keep yammering on.

"Hey now, save some of the stories for me little buddy." Henry's voice caught both toon's attention. Henry was leaning against the door frame to the room and smiling a little while the little demon just got a sheepish smile as he rubbed the back of his head.

"Sorry I can't help it, I'm so excited!"

"I can believe it," Henry chuckled as he fully entered the room, Boris avoided eye contact with the man and shifted a little uncomfortably. The wolf still wasn't entirely used to humans yet, and even though Bendy kept assuring him about everything especially Henry… Boris couldn't help but still feel nervous being around them.

It's gonna be a long night… Boris thought to himself.

Hour's passed and soon it was apparently storytime as Bendy curled up into the prepared Infirmary bed and patted it with pure excitement. Henry simply chuckled and pulled himself into the bed, adjusting a little so Bendy could get into his usual "Comfort spot" right at Henry's side and so the toon demon's head would rest on his chest when he did fall asleep from the story telling.

Boris saw at least three books set down on the bed and how Bendy was looking over at him almost expectantly. Boris shifted nervously before he just grabbed a chair and sat at a comfortable distance from the animator and demon. Bendy frowned at this while Henry just patted the demon's head.

"It's alright little buddy, Boris is still getting used to everything." Henry smiled then carefully looked over to the wolf. "Would you like to choose the story for the night?"

"Ah… um… I-I… I don't really know what stories ya got sir…" Boris answered sheepishly, rubbing at one of his arms with his answer. Henry simply shrugged at this and pointed to the three books.

"I got Alice in Wonderland, Wizard of Oz and Grimm's Fairy Tales for the books. I'm sure Bendy told you a few real life ones I have," Henry offered, giving the wolf a patient smile, even as Bendy practically jumped in his spot.

"I wanna hear more about Grimm's Fairy Tales!" Bendy grinned, looking up to Henry with his most excited look ever. Boris glanced between the two for a bit before offering a sheepish grin.

"That sounds great actually." Boris didn't know much about these fairy tales but if Bendy liked them then he had to assume they were good.

A few stories later Bendy was sleeping soundly, curled up next to Henry who just smiled with Fatherly pride at the demon. Boris was still awake, though barely.

"I'm glad you know."

Boris perked up at Henry's voice.

"About what?"

"That you decided to give this a chance, even though Bendy probably pushed you." Henry explained quietly, adjusting a little so Bendy wouldn't wake up but was still comfortable and asleep.

"I know you're still getting used to how different everything is now and aren't as quick to adapt as Bendy was… but at least you're giving this a chance."

Boris's eyes widened for a moment before giving off a small smile in return.

"Yeah… guess I am…"
