Boris bounced down the hallway, a warm bowl of soup in his hands. his tail swished behind him as he headed for his and Bendy's shared room. Bendy, his best friend in the whole world, had spent the past week in bed, sick. Boris hadn't been allowed to see him having to sleep on the couch in Henrys room, but since Henry and Joey weren't there today, Boris decided to bring him some soup, bacon soup. he walked in and smiled at the inky devil. Bendy snored softly, curled up on his side. Boris smiled at him and walked over to his bed. the large wolf sat the bowl down and knelt by the bed, shaking Bendy gently.
"hey Bendy." Boris said softly. Bendy's eye's slowly opened and he blinked at Boris.
"Boris?" Bendy muttered. Boris nodded smiling.
"hiya Bendy. I figured you could use some soup." Boris smiled. Bendy sat up slightly.
"I-I thought Henry and Joey said you couldn't come in here?" Bendy ask.
"well they aren't here right now." Boris replied. he offered Bendy the soup.
"th-thanks Bo, but I don't think I could eat it." Bendy said. Boris waived off his doubt and offered him a spoonful. Bendy coughed, giving a small smile. "you gonna feed me?" Bendy ask softly.
"why not? you did it for me when my arms melted off and Joey and Henry had to fix them." Boris smiled back. "now c'mon. open up." Boris added. Bendy opened his mouth, giving in and letting his best friend feed him, until he started falling asleep again. Boris put the bowl down and smiled, standing up. "well, makes me feel better knowing you've ate something now." Boris smiled. Bendy gave a slight smile, then shivered and curled up. "need another blanket?" Boris ask.
"Henry said there wasn't any more. just mine." Bendy replied. Boris rolled his eye's.
"you know I'll give you my blanket." Boris smiled. Bendy shook his head, then winced holding it.
"n-no Boris. I won't take your blanket." Bendy replied. Boris ignored him and headed to get him a blanket. he brought it back and lay'd it over Bendy. the shivering didn't stop, though it did lessen.
"better?" Boris ask.
"n-not really. still c-cold." Bendy replied. Boris thought a moment, then climbed over Bendy, laying beside him. "B-Bo-Boris?" Bendy ask surprised.
"shh. you're cold." Boris replied, pulling him close. he climbed under the blanket with Bendy and pulled him closer.
"y-you're gonna get sick." Bendy said. Boris shrugged.
"Henry and Joey can take care of me." Boris said, hugging Bendy close to his chest. the demon cuddled into his warmth. Boris curled around him gently. "see, I stopped your shivering." Boris smiled. Bendy didn't answer. Boris chuckled when he found his friend asleep. he cuddled his tiny friend and layd back to fall asleep with him. thats how Henry found them a few hours later. he sighed at them and shook Boris awake.
"Boris what are you doing?" Henry ask.
"he... he was cold Henry. I brought him soup but it didn't help." Boris said. "I layd with him and he stopped shivering." Boris replied. Bendy snored softly and clung to him in his sleep. Bendy coughed roughly, curling up more. he was sweating a little, which was good, maybe he could sweat it out.
"how long has he been asleep?" Henry ask.
"four or five hours, not counting the breaks every now and then when he got up to use the bathroom or I woke him up to make him eat soup." Boris replied. Bendys tail was wrapped around one of Boris' arms.
"Boris you don't need to be in here." Henry sighed.
"I can't get up." Boris replied.
"why not?" Joey ask from behind Henry.
"he's got me with his tail." Boris replied. "besides if I get up he'll be cold again." Boris added. Henry sighed, though Joey looked annoyed.
"well... alright but when he wakes up, come get me okay?" Henry ask. Boris nodded cuddling Bendy. Henry and Joey left. Boris looked back down at Bendy and smiled, feeling his fever was gone. Bendy rubbed his eye's gently with a soft yawn.
"hey you just missed Henry." Boris smiled. Bendy murmured softly, cuddling closer to his chest. "are you hungry? I can go make you some more soup." Boris offered. Bendy nodded slightly at him letting his friend go.
"a-a little." Bendy said. Boris smiled getting up. Boris patted his head.
"I'll be back in a few Bendy." Boris said and walked out. Bendy watched him go, shivering a little as he cuddled into his blankets. there was a knock a few minutes after Boris left. Henry poked his head in.
"hey Bendy, how do you feel?" Henry ask. Bendy looked at him tiredly.
"better. Boris is really warm it feels a lot better." Bendy said softly. Henry chuckled walking over to him. he knelt beside the bed and felt the little ink devils forehead.
"hey he was right, your fever is gone." Henry smiled.
"thats good ri-right? it's been bad all week." Bendy said. Henry smiled and nodded at him.
"maybe you just need a little extra care while Joey and I couldn't be here." Henry chuckled. Bendy gave a small smile, relaxing as his creator pet his head gently. Henry smiled at him and pet his head again. "alright, well, Boris seems to have everything under control, so I'll get out of here." Henry said. Bendy nodded and watched him leave, then yawned and curled up. Boris walked happily back in the room.
"still hungry?" Boris ask. Bendy nodded slightly moving to sit up, though he knew Boris would stop him and feed him, he still wanted to see if he could sit up without feeling sick. his arms still shook as though they were jelly though and he crashed back down against his pillow. Boris chuckled softly.
"thanks Boris. why are you taking such good care of me?" Bendy ask.
"well because your my best friend and I, kinda, love you in a way I probably shouldn't." Boris replied. Bendy looked shocked as Boris cheeks flaired a dark gray.
"you love me?" Bendy ask. Boris nodded hesitantly and Bendy smiled brightly. "I love you too Boris." Bendy smiled. Boris smiled back brightly and offered Bendy a spoonful of soup, to which the hungry demon ate happily. Boris smiled at him.
"hey you managed to eat the whole bowl this time without falling asleep." Boris grinned. Bendy gave a smile back.
"only because I've got someone like you taking care of me." Bendy smiled. Boris chuckled softly and layd beside him again, holding him tightly.
"I'll have you better in a day or two with proper care. no offense to Joey or Henry, but they couldn't take care of you all day like I can." Boris said. Bendy nodded and cuddled up to Boris.
"thanks Boris." Bendy yawned. Boris didn't answer, simply hugging the demon closer to him.
