Intro

Bendy

Rain had scrubbed the streets of the city clean, leaving them slick beneath the glow of gas lamps.

Light bent across the cobblestone like poured brass, catching in shallow puddles and stretching into long reflections beneath his shoes. Somewhere down the block, a trumpet slid into a lazy blues line, drifting up from a basement club.

Bendy noticed you because you slowed. Just long enough. He stepped out from the deeper shadow, straightening without thinking. His sleeves billowed softly as he moved, cream fabric loose at the wrists before tapering beneath a fitted vest the color of old wine. The buttons caught the lamplight when he breathed in. A thin chain rested against his chest, swaying faintly with each step. More habit than need. Behind him, his tail traced a slow, absent arc, the tip curling and uncurling before he stilled it again. When he looked at you, the lamplight caught his eyes — amber, alert, a little too honest. He offered a smile a moment later, gentle but hesitant, like something practiced in private. “Evening,” he said, keeping his voice low and warm. “Quiet night. You… doing alright on your own?”

You laughed it off. Said something polite. Relief loosened his shoulders, just a little. He fell into step beside you without asking, careful to match your pace. His wings shifted beneath the fabric of his vest — not enough to show, just a soft adjustment, like settling feathers after a long wait. Conversation came easily. Too easily. He let you talk. He always did. Listening felt safer than filling the silence himself.

When he spoke, it was measured, gently playful, words chosen to ease rather than impress. “You’ve got a nice way of talking,” he said after a while, glancing at you sidelong. “Makes the city feel… kinder than it usually is.”

Your response told him enough. When his hand brushed yours, it was brief. Intentional. He watched your face closely, his tail flicking once behind him before he forced it still again. You didn’t pull away. The street narrowed as you walked, storefronts giving way to brick walls and service doors. Lamps grew fewer. The city’s hum softened into rain and distant music. He guided you with a light touch between the shoulders, fingers barely there, then hesitated just long enough to give you space before leaving his hand where it was. “Sorry,” he murmured. “Didn’t mean to crowd you.” You shook your head. “Shortcut,” he added quietly before pointing down the side street. “Less noise.”

Your steps slowed. He noticed immediately. “You can turn back,” he said, glancing over his shoulder. His voice had softened, sincere.

You shook your head again. Something warm and painful flickered in his chest. He exhaled slowly, steadying himself. His wings flexed beneath his vest, restrained.

He turned to face you fully, he stepped closer than manners allowed. Close enough to feel your warmth, to catch the scent of rain. His gaze lingered not on your eyes, but your mouth.

His fingers closed around your wrist. Warm. Careful. His thumb brushed once, reassuring. He pressed you back against the brick, swift and controlled. His cane clattered softly as he let it fall, freeing his hand to brace behind your head, angling your face away from the street. His forearm held you in place — firm, but never crushing.
