" Hey remember when we talked in the forest?"- the ghost asked hovering near the demon. His big eyes watched as the others intense gaze was locked onto the train. Something unrecognizable in his eyes as he started at the face of the health departament. Cuphead wasn't really aware what was going On with the him but before he could also ask about that Bendy replied.
-" Of course i do."- Bendy replied rolling his eyes. His tail swayed back and forth in irritation and grimaced-" We said a lot there, if you want to talk about something specific, you need to BE more specific."-he said already annoyed. The cup unbothered just replied.
-" Well! I meant when we talked about school and stuff! You Said Something weird and i was just curious about it." -"The cup shrugged smirking slightly. The other raised his eyebrow in question. He halted in his step and stared him.
-" What the hell do you mean?"- he glared at the ghost who raised his hands in an act of innocence.
-" Woah don't get your tail in a twist! I meant nothing wrong. You just Said Something about not speaking and i was curious! Nothing big or anything. Afterall you seem to be speaking pretty well now. "- he leaned over the smaller demon who looked away from him. His grip on the map tightened and his frown deepened.
-" Did i? I can't recall."- he replied as he walked past the ghost who huffed in annoyence.
-" Come on! Im just curious! It won't hurt ya or anything."- he whined. Staring at the demon he noticed how his steps slowly became faster, his grip on the map tighter and the faint blush slowly creeping on his face. Cuphead stared at him. He was good at reading People. More then good! And now his reading was telling him...
Suddenly he gasped dramatically, Bendy turned around to stare at him in worry but then cuphead started laughing. Clutching his stomach he doubled over in the air.
-" OH MY! Are you embarassed?!"- the blush on the older became darker which only comfirmed what the killer said.
-" Shut up!"- Bendy shouted. He crossed his arms on his chest and curled in on himself more. He was staring at the ground like he was trying to count every single strand of Grass beneath them. His tail wraped itself around his leg for comfort. -" Why are you so curious anyways?"
Cuphead stared at him as if the anwser was obvious but when bendy was still looking away he pretended to think about it intensly.
-" Because im bored!"- he exclaimed suddenly appearing right before Bendy who flinched in surprise. The demon scanned the other looking as if he had eaten smth bad
-" Really? That's all?"
-"And curious, What? You need a better reason mister rightous?"- Cuphead glared at the demon who glared at him back, a wide grin rested on his face. The staring match continued until Bendy sighed.
-" I guess that's my own fault for mentioning it. But there's nothing deep to it or anything. I Just didn't talk."- he responded turning his gaze back to the train.
-" Didn't or couldn't?"-" The older hesitated, a Line of ink dripped down his face but he quickly wiped it away.
-" Both in a Way?"- he anwsered uncertainly-" I could talk, i talked with Boris and stuff just when i was at that school"- he paused as if to put his thoughts together-" No matter what my throat would physically close up, even if i wanted to scream i couldn't make a sound. After a while i managed to get a hold of it so it isn't so bad i guess"- The ghost nodded.
-" Honestly i more expected Boris to have that rather than you."- Bendy chuckled a little. His shoulders relaxing little by little.
-" Right? No one would expect me of all People to be shy as a kid. It was hard to open up at first but it was easier for me then it was for Boris so i guess that's fine."
-" Wait you were BOTH shy?? At the same time?"- The cup stared confused at the man beside him-" I thought you guys kinda.. switched personalities or something " - The older started giggling more.
-" Switched personalities? What?"- Cuphead crossed his arms on his chest and looked away in offence.
-" Well you know, like you were shy he was not and then you guys switched! Nothing weird about that."- By now Bendy was full on laughing with his head throwed back and clutching his stomach, tears pricked at his eyes.
-" How would THAT work ?"- the ghost thought a moment. His hand stroking his chin while the other wiped the tears that formed at the corners of his eyes.
-" Well you guys grew up together did you not? What if you guys just influanced each other or something i don't know."- he shrugged.
-" Well if me and Boris 'Inflaunced' each other because we grew up together wouldn't that be the same for you and mugman?"- the ghost clamped his mouth shut. After a few quick moments he argued back.
-" Well how do you know that we DIDN'T have an influance on each other?"- bendy raised an eyebrow as if the anwser was obvious-" You're unbelievable."- Cuphead rolled his eyes.
The ex-preformer grinned. Their conversation continued some more while mugman and Boris walked behind them. The both stared in confusion at the pair.
-"Yeah really! They were so angry and their faces? Priceless!"- the cup exclaimed enthusiastically. Before the other managed to reply they all notice a figure near the train approaching them.
