AN: Prepare for lot's and fluff and feels.

Bendy was staring out the window. He just loved seeing the colors of the outside world, though he made sure to stay out of sight of anyone walking on the street. Everything was so vibrant and full of life, Bendy still got overwhelmed by everything after being trapped in the studio for so long. Still, the window could only hold his attention for so long and Bendy soon stepped back, deciding to see what the others were up to.

Bendy knew that Henry was upstairs as he was still trying to help restore several of the others as best he could. If Bendy remembered correctly, he was working on the Butcher gang today. Bendy tended to spend most of his time at Henry's side, but outside of providing the extra ink Henry needed, there wasn't much Bendy could do to help. Besides, most of the others were still wary of him, especially while they were in such a vulnerable state, so it was best if he stayed away.

Bendy decided to head to the kitchen, planning to steal a few cookies that Linda had made yesterday when soft music coming from the living room drew his attention. Veering in that direction, Bendy peeked around the corner, He spotted Sammy playing on the piano, the ink man doing so often as it seemed to help him stay grounded. Bendy's grin widened at the sight of Sammy's back towards him, a stirring of his toonish mischievousness rising within him.

Bendy quietly crept around the corner and began sneaking up on the unsuspecting man, eager to see his frightened reaction. Right before Bendy prepared to pounce, he froze as memories from the studio flooded through his mind. Images of sneaking around corners, pouncing on and killing ink creatures of all sorts, but strongest of all was killing Sammy when he had called to him.

Bendy let out a small distressed whine and scrambled backward. Ink began to drip down his face and his form bubbled. Sammy heard the commotion behind him and stopped playing.

"My Lo- I mean… Bendy?" Sammy asked as he turned around but the little Ink Demon had already fled.

I have to get to Henry… Henry was always able to keep me calm… Henry would make sure I didn't become a monster… Bendy's thought's raced as he stumbled up the stairs. His limb's sizes fluctuated as his instincts tried to force him to transform back into his more capable Ink Demon form, but Bendy kept forcing them to shrink back down. He let out another distressed whine as he finally tripped onto the upper floor. He scrambled forward, sometimes on two legs, sometimes on all fours, before bursting into the room where Henry was.

"Bendy?!" Henry said in surprise and confusion as Bendy latched onto his leg. "Hey… it's alright buddy… what's the matter?"

Bendy couldn't really respond outside of a bunch of distressed whines and whistles, burying his face into Henry's leg as inky tears flowed freely, staining Henry's pants.

"Come here you little devil," Henry said, bending down to pick up Bendy before turning to Edgar. He had healed the toon's mouth after removing the stitches from it. "Why don't we take a break for a bit while I calm Bendy down. Maybe try some of Linda's cookies now that you can eat and we'll continue fixing you up later."

Edgar nodded and shambled out of the room along with Charley and Barely. The door closed behind them and Henry sat down while still holding Bendy.

"Everything's fine," Henry whispered comfortingly while rubbing Bendy's back. "It's alright… you're safe here… It's alright…"

Henry continued to do his best to comfort the little ink demon and eventually Bendy calmed down, his form stabilizing again.

"There you go," Henry smiled down at Bendy as the toon finally felt comfortable enough to unbury his face from Henry's chest. "Now… are you ready to tell me what upset you?"

Bendy just shook his head and looked down. There was no way whistles and hand gestures would be enough to convey the fear he had about turning back into a monster. And even he could talk fully, he didn't think he was ready to admit it yet…

"It's alright," Henry assured, rubbing Bendy between the horns and getting a soft purr from the toon. "This is hard on all of us, so take as much time as you need. I'll always be here for you."

Bendy just nodded and snuggled into Henry's chest in appreciation. Henry had done so much for Bendy and the toon could never repay his creator for his kindness. The most Bendy could do was make sure he wouldn't turn back into the monster he had been. He couldn't do anything remotely bad even if it meant denying himself his toon instincts. The risk was just too great…

Bendy pushed those thoughts aside for now as he listened to Henry's heartbeat. At least he could always count on Henry…
