The map showed where the next part of the machine is being held. The toon was some nameless big shot, and they were going to be hosting a large party. Where the part was going to be displayed as a rare artifact in front of the crowd.
The plan was simple, Boris was dressed as a guest with a forged VIP invitation that the cup bros made. Then the wolf was going to talk to the big shot as the first distraction. While the big shot is talking to Boris, Bendy and Cuphead are dressed as a waiter, Bendy would offer a drink to the toon. While he steals the key, Bendy would then give the keys to Cuphead.
Before the toon could realize that the keys were missing. Shelly would be the second distraction as she is trying to enter without an invitation. Making security leave the room where the part is locked away. Letting Cuphead enter without a problem getting the part. While Mugman is guarding one of the back doors for a quick escape.
At least that was the plan.
Boris was fidgeting with the collar, “Boris, stop fidgeting, you're going to mess with my work.” Bendy says as he grabs a brush. “Why do I have to be the one to talk to the guy? I’m not very conversational.” Bendy pats at a chair with a mirror in front. The tall wolf just groaned as he sat in the chair. While Bendy brushes his fur he explained. “It’s because the guy likes mysterious people. And out of all of us you are the most mysterious.”
“I’m not “mysterious” I just don’t want to talk to other toons” Boris complained. Bendy laughed slightly as he grabbed a dark green ribbon to tie Boris' long fur. “Yeah sure bro, now stop messing with the collar.”
The rest of the gang were in disguises as they were waiting for Bendy and Boris to come out. Cuphead was smoking as he leaned against the wall “Bet you five bucks that the wolf is going to look stupid.” Mugman just raised an eyebrow at the bet. “10 that you are going to drop your cigarette when you see him.” He said with a smug smile. As Shelly chimes in “15 that you are going to stutter when you talk to him!”
The cup just scoffs at the idea, but he can win 25 dollars. “Deal.” As he took a breath of his cigarette. When the door swings open to show Bendy in the same waiter uniform as Cuphead. “You guys took forever.” The cup scoffs. “Yeah, well you can’t rush perfection. Now introducing “Bailey” Wolf!” As the demon moved out the way.
Boris exits the room to reveal a dark forest green three piece suit. With slight golden patterns on the ends of sleeves and coat. On the collar of the coat was a small golden heart shaped pin. His fur was combed back showing his eyes more clearly as it was tied to a small pony tail. He was standing upright instead of his usual hunched.
The cigarette from the cup's mouth drops to the floor. He looks so handsome. How? That was Boris right? He looks taller. I want to keep him. Keep him? Nope! That's his friend! Or his partner? Whatever the term is! He looked so pretty… like a stack of gold coins. I like keeping coins.. I want to keep him in my pocket. Be near him. Keep him close.
Boris noticed his stares as he scratched his neck nervously. “I look ridiculous right?” That snapped Cuphead out of his thoughts. “I- no! You look- uh.. you look okay!” Damn it! He lost the bet. But it was worth it. Shelly and Mugman laugh slightly behind him.
As the group made it to the casino named “21 Shots”, the lights were bright as you can hear the laughter of people who were waiting in line with their invitations in hand. Boris took a breath as he walked right in front of the security. He almost towered over the guy as he handed his invitation. The security was startled at the sight of Bois as he took one look at the invitation and saw VIP. “R-right this way s-sir.” The security stammer as Boris looks like someone who has power.
Once Boris was in he took a breath as he thought to himself. Okay this is good, step one is complete. As he walked through the casino on one side he could see a familiar red cup. And on the other side a short demon with a tray of drinks. Near the back he could see the toon he was supposed to talk to. He wore an obnoxious fur coat with several gold rings and necklaces.
How do you talk to someone like that? As Boris walked around other dames stopped him to chat. Getting way too close for comfort. Their perfume smelt sickly sweet as they gently grabbed his arm.
Cuphead was watching from afar and he could see how uncomfortable the wolf was. The way the dolls were practically pressed up against him. He wanted to keep his treasure safe and away from them. How pretty he looked in the warm lights. Treasure has a nice ring to it. To hide away from the world. Only he knows where his treasure was hidden. To see other toons touching what’s his made him feel irritated.
When he saw the sleaze ball got up from his seat to walk to his treasure as they grabbed him by the waist. Cuphead heard something crack! As he looked down he saw shards of glass in his bloody hands. Whoops…
Boris didn’t have to do much to get the big shots attention. As he could smell expensive cologne and strong cigars behind him. As a hand with golden rings snaked around his waist a chill ran through his spine. “Now what’s a handsome wolf like you doing in a place like this?” Ugh.. Boris could smell the thick smoke of cigars and cologne. It was disgusting.
He could see Bendy close by, okay this is fine just keep him occupied until Bendy offers this guy a drink. “Just passing by…” the big shot smiled wide with his crooked teeth. “So you do talk! And here I thought you were just for show.” As the man got way too close to Boris face. “Do a pretty thing like you have a name? Or can I call you mine?” Disgust went through him like a tidal wave as his tail curled slightly to his side.
When another familiar hand went to Boris' waist as he was pulled back into Cuphead?! What was he doing?! This was not part of the plan! The wolf could see Bendy looking shocked as he didn’t know what to do. “Have you heard of keeping your hands to yourself?”
The big shot looked pissed off at the cup taking the wolf away from him. As he took a breath and smiled. “Well excuse me, but this wolf and I had other occasions to talk about. So why don’t you scurry off and make drinks or whatever you tupperware do.” As he lifted a hand to reach out to Boris, when Cuphead grabbed the other toon by the wrist harshly.
“What are you?!“ The toon saw the blood and glass on the cup's hand as he passed out from the sight. Before he could hit the floor Boris caught the guy. The wolf took him back to the VIP section. He didn’t like that his treasure was holding another toon. Being so close to someone else. Cuphead had already got the key from the toon as he walked by Bendy handing the key to him. He needed to cool down, but the plan went fine.
When he heard shouting at the front as security went to stop whoever was trying to get it. Once he saw Boris back to the dance floor again he was surrounded by other dames who were too close. Asking all these stupid questions. His treasure looked so uncomfortable, he wanted to take him away from here. Without thinking he went straight for him. “Excuse me ladies but this gentleman has other business to attend to.”
The dames looked upset while Boris looked confused as Cuphead took him by the waist again. In a low voice the cup whispered, “We need to get outta here before they realize the part is missing.” The two left the building from a different exit, leaving them alone. The fresh air was nice as the lights of the city glowed around them. As Cuphead now instead of holding Boris' waist it was his hand leading him away from the casino.
Boris finally had enough of being pulled around as he firmly stopped in his place. “Alright, what was that?” Cuphead just looked at him with a small smile. “What was what wolfy?” As if he didn’t almost wreck the plan. “The pulling me away? The protectiveness? Even now you're still dragging me around. And what happened to your hand? You're bleeding.”
Boris just took the ribbon from his fur as he held Cuphead's injured hand. “How did you get glass in your hand?” The wolf mumbles under his breath. He was leaning down to see his hand better, to pick the glass out. He was so close, the cup could smell the cologne the wolf wore. Boris held his hand so gentle, he wasn’t rough when he was picking the glass out.
Does it hurt? Are you okay? Am I being too harsh? Where all questions the wolf asked as he took care of his hand. That Cuphead didn’t even notice the pain. He was just looking at the wolf. Boris looked so cute when he focused with a mad look.
Once Boris was finished wrapping the cup's injury he looked up at him. His eyes had a dark green color, almost matching his suit. They looked so shiny in the city lights, as his fur went down. It looked so fluffy to touch, he wanted to run his hands through it. And the scar on his muzzle he wanted to trace it. Does it still hurt?
What about his back? He left a massive scar on him. Did he ever apologize for that? Boris looked like he was saying something. Yet without thinking Cuphead grabbed him by the sides of his head as he kissed him.
Boris was stunned as he slowly melted into the kiss. He felt Cuphead’s hand snake around his waist holding each other close. While the other hand ran through his fur. As his back pressed against the brick wall. The wolf could hear bubbling? When he pulled back from the kiss to breath.
When he saw the cup’s head boiling, he let out a chuckle at the sight. “What’s funny?” The cup asked with a smug expression. “You just look so cute with hearts bubbling in your head.” Boris laughed softly. Oh how his laugh sounded so nice. But cute? He was not cute! “Cute huh? I’ll show you who’s cute.”
Suddenly Cuphead grabbed him by the tie crashing each other into another rougher kiss. As the cup nips the wolf lips almost tasting sweet iron. While Boris held Cuphead by his waist tightly like he would break if he let go.
When they heard their names being called out nearby. “Cuphead! Boris! Where are you?!” One of their brothers yelled out, probably Mugman. They let go of each other quickly as Boris tried to fix himself. His fur was a mess, with his dress shirt and vest were untucked and unbuttoned.
Cuphead just laughed at the frantic wolf. As he heard his brother come around the corner. “There you are! Bendy got the piece lets—” Mugman paused to look at the two. “Let’s go before the fuzz comes.” As he turned around leading back to the rest of the group. Cuphead grabbed the wolf by the collar one more time as he whispered. “Looks who’s cute now, my treasure.”
Boris' face was beat red by the nickname. When they made it back to the group Bendy was laughing at the state of Boris. “Guess they couldn’t get their hands off of you!” The wolf just looked away with a flushed face towards the cup. Cuphead just smiled at him all smug as he waved his hand. When Mugman noticed his twins injured hand.
“What happened to your hand Cuphead?!”
Whoops!
