So like I've had this in my drafts for months and I don't know if I've ever going to get around to finishing it so here's all I had written for a one-sided Felzu fic I was working on.

Chapter 1: Lady Luck is on the demon's side!

Heels clicked against cold stone bricks. A dark-skinned man walked with purpose around a corner, walls made out of the same stone as the floor. Ice clung to every surface yet did not seem to affect the man. He stopped in front of a door. Instead of a handle there was a small white stone tablet. Intricately carved with a front facing eagle perched atop two lions facing sideways and opposite from each other. The eagle had a face of a lion and so did the lions with eagle faces. All their eyes were closed. There was a small square nestled in the middle of the tablet.

Anzu blew icey breath into the square and straighten his pristine suit with a huff. He had a meeting with the other princes of hell that went on for longer than he anticipated. Though with Ava's embarrassing slip up and subsequent punishment Anzu found himself with some more free time on his hands.

The clicking of mechanisms could be heard coming from the door before Anzu pushed it open. The eyes of the eagle and lions now open to reveal purple gems in their place. Stepping into his office Anzu's shoes were met with a thick wool rug. Intricate patterns delicately weaved through the fabric. The demon walked further into the room and sat on a chair with a desk in front of it. The office was littered with expensive woods, gems, fabrics and pottery alongside various ice sculptures.

Anzu dug around in the draw of his desk to find the papers he needed to take care of. While reviewing conduct negotiations from lords around their surface properties the shine of the archangel soul fragment caught the demon's attention.

The demon frowned placing the rest of the papers down, careful not to place them too close to the ones he had already rejected or signed. Maybe he should move the soul fragment somewhere it wouldn't catch his eye so often. The fragment sat perched on a silk pillow inside a curved glass case. It glittered brightly in the artificial lights. An archangel's soul was truly a sight to behold.

Not just any archangel's either. The soul of the spawn of the angel judge herself, Master Hannah Angel. What was the young angel's name again? Alice, Alice Angel. Fitting name for such a girl. Ever noble in her righteous ways. Anzu smirked. What a fine opportunity the gods had just placed in his lap.

The demon glanced over to the other soul fragment perched on his desk. The casing of this fragment was more decorated then Alice's. Gold swirled from the bottom and top of the casing with a few gemstones tucked in. It didn't have that bright light that came from Alice's soul as it belonged to a non-magical creature. But that didn't make it any less than the angel's fragment. No, this belonged to a very interesting cat by the name of Felix.

Anzu licked his lips looking at it. He knew better then to devour either fragment as it was infested with that illness. Anzu hadn't been able to get the cat's soul out of his head. He had handled many souls in his life but Felix' was just breathtaking. It was beautiful. All the emotions swirled through in a gorgeous harmony. They were all so bright, it was easy to tell at a first glance that he was deeply passionate. Anzu hadn't seen such a strong and complex soul in awhile.

Meeting the cat in person Anzu could see why he was chosen as Professor Wilson Wiseton's prodigy. He had an idea of how Felix was due to the devil getting him to keep an eye on him in case Professor Wiseton had contact with him. But none of it truly prepared him to seeing Felix in action.

Quite literally, he could hold his own surprisingly well against a demon lord. An impressive feet for a simple cat toon. His fighting style was based on agility and flexibility. Drawing from your species' specialties was always a sign of a good fighter. Felix knew how to use his body in a way that told Anzu he had plenty of experience. He had shown to be skilled in multiple weapons. Switching between them with ease. That magic bag was a sight to behold as well. Anzu wondered how Felix got his hands on a pocket space bag. Yes, this cat was very interesting.

The demon prince hummed. He'd love to take the cat out for dinner. Felix had been a good conversationist last they spoke. Open and warm but it was clear his trust was not one to be tested. Anzu would have to keep that in mind. He would hate to break the trust given so easily to him by Felix. Anzu couldn't deny he was honoured by it. Maybe even a little flattered. Felix cared enough about demonkind to offer him all the information they had on ink illness. Felix fought a demon lord to adopt one of his kind. Anzu smiled at that.

He turned back to his papers and his smile grew. Lord Black Hat had made a request.

Anzu would have to see if Lady Luck was in his cards today.

Bendy tapped the table along with the tune carried by the record player in the living room. It was an upbeat jazzy tune. Bendy had a flick through of Felix' records with Boris. A lot of jazz of all kinds and some classical ones that Bendy had never heard before. Boris commented something about them sounding Felix. Everyone had a certain sound or something. Bendy didn't really get it but Boris tried to explain that you can tell a lot about someone by the type of music they like. It seemed to amuse Felix though when Boris tried to explain how it made sense he liked the type of songs he did. Bendy didn't really care about genres, if the music had a good rhythm he could dance to then that was good enough for him. Well, unless the lyrics were dumb.

His other hand was occupied by one of Hat's demon books. He had to visit Hat today and had been procrastinating on his readings. The smell of chicken, canola oil, eggs and an assortment of spices he couldn't pin point filled his nose. Smelt good though. Bendy's focus switched from his book to Boris and Dad's conversation while they made lunch. Felix' cooking was berries. No one could top Granny but Dad was an extremely close second. Growing up Bendy always thought the saying about food tasting better when it was 'made with love' was stupid. He definitely got the saying now. No matter what Granny or Dad cooked it make him feel relaxed and warm inside.

Bendy couldn't help but smile to himself. He felt loved and relaxed here. With his family. With his Dad's homemade cooking, with the help of his little brother sometimes. That was still a bit strange to say. It almost didn't feel real. Bendy cringed at that and clearly tried to shoo that line of thinking away. Letting out a shaky breath.

"Bendy," Dad's voice cut into his thoughts.

He snapped his head up to see a worried, searching look on Dad's face. His shoulder felt warm. Oh Dad's hand was on it. His hands were always soft and warm.

"You okay, Bendy?" Boris spoke from across the table. Wearing the same worried expression that Dad did. Even with a spoonful of food in his muzzle.

Bendy looked at his dad and back to Boris and then down at the food in front of him. He must have been zoned out.

"Yeah, yeah I'm fine, just.. thinking is all," Bendy gave his family a stiff smile. The look Boris gave told Bendy he didn't believe the demon.

"Are you sure? Bendy you know you can tell Boris and I anything," Dad pulled Bendy into a small side hug, rubbing his face against Bendy's.

Bendy let out a chuckle at that. It always cheered the demon up. He realised it was a cat thing after seeing Inky and Winky do it a couple times. A genuine smile crawled it's way onto Bendy's face. He was okay. He was safe here.

"Yeah I'm sure, just got in my head a bit," Bendy smiled at both of him and reached over the table to pat Boris on the head. Bendy was not going to acknowledge the fact that he couldn't reach over the table the full way so Boris had to meet him halfway.

When Bendy retracted his hand Boris thumped back in his seat, tail wagging a mile a minute. Dad smiled at both of them, ruffling Bendy's fur and giving him a small peck on the forehead. He walked over to Boris and did the same before returning to his seat at the head of the table. Bendy felt embarassment darken his cheeks. Boris' tail was wagging so fast that Bendy was worried it would fall off. Felix started giving them pecks on the forehead after Boris asked for one when he was trying to sleep. That surprised Bendy since Boris never liked kisses. Boris told him that Molly said something about a father's forehead kisses driving away nightmares. So he asked Felix and said he had a good sleep that night. Despite Bendy sometimes feeling embarrassed by them, he didn't mind them. He just felt like he was a little too old for little pecks on the forehead.

A warm spring breeze hit the small demon as he stepped out of the house. Felix in toe. He was joining him to Black Hat's Casino since Dr. Oddswell wanted Dad to bring over some research notes to Hat. Dad never seemed thrilled whenever Hat was in vicinity of him. Bendy couldn't blame him. Hat was a pain.

Bendy's mind went back to the couple weeks he and Boris have been living with Dad. Just his room alone was so big he didn't know what to fill it with. It's been great to have his own room. He liked the way Dad had things. Their home was cosy and inviting. It was fun to see the similarities of Dad's and Boris' decorating. Bendy had no idea how much of an artist his dad was. What surprised Bendy the most was how messy the cat was. The house always had clutter and a small messy pile somewhere. Dad didn't like cleaning but he did it well. He just had a tendency to procrastinate a little on it. It wasn't bad, just enough that Felix would like people to tell him when they're coming over.

"You've been zoning out a lot today, is Black Hat pushing you too hard?" Dad frowned.

"Huh? Oh! No that's not..." Bendy trialled off.

Felix gave him the same look of 'not buying it' Boris had earlier.

"Bendy, really, is something going on?" his voice gave off that soft fatherly edge that always made Bendy want to spill his heart out.

"I just..." Bendy struggled for the words. "A lot has happened lately... It's hard to, I don't know, wrap my head around?" He shrugged helplessly.

Felix hummed. "Do you want to talk about it?"

"Not really, I mean yes but just not now," Bendy grit his teeth, why wasn't any words forming.

All those long nights of spiralling thoughts just to come up with nothing.

"Okay, I won't push but when you're ready promise you'll tell me,"

"I promise... I'm sorry for worrying you,"

Oswald has absolutely no shame when it comes to touching Felix—whether it's something sweet and innocent or something that makes Felix wish the ground would swallow him whole. In public, Oswald is glued to him, casually draping himself over Felix or standing way too close. The worst part is that he has a habit of leaning in and whispering things that are definitely not appropriate for public settings, things that make Felix freeze and go red all the way to the tips of his ears while Oswald just chuckles. As if that wasn’t enough, whenever they’re standing, Oswald’s hand somehow always finds its way into Felix’s back pocket, holding onto him like he owns him. Felix constantly has to re-adjust Oswald’s hands because they have a bad habit of starting at his shoulders and slowly wandering lower, too low for Felix’s comfort in public.

But in private, Felix is doomed. Oswald doesn’t just touch him, he worships him. His hands are always massaging Felix’s body under his clothes, kneading at his muscles with slow, deliberate pressure, making sure Felix feels everything. And when they’re sitting, Felix knows exactly where Oswald’s hands are going, right to his inner thighs, lazily rubbing small circles as if it’s the most natural thing in the world. It doesn’t matter how many times Felix tries to scold him, Felix barely stands a chance. Oswald loves running his hands along Felix’s waist, tugging him close without warning, whispering things in his ear that definitely aren’t meant for polite company. And he lives for Felix’s flustered reactions, the way his ears twitch, the way he stammers, the way he tries (and fails) to act unfazed. It doesn’t matter how many times it happens, Felix never gets used to it, and Oswald knows it. That smug grin of his, it only gets bigger the more flustered Felix gets.

Felix & Oswald moments

Some of my Inky Mystery Headcanons! (A lot of future ones)

• Oswald has a thing for black cats that he will never admit. Everyone in the circus crew knows, Donald is the only one that makes snarky comments about it though.

• Felix only realised his queerness in his early 30s and is now plagued with recognising the feelings he had for men in the past that he brushed off at the time as jealousy or just really really wanted to be friends. Oswald on the other hand just kinda knew from the beginning, it wasn't really talked about but his siblings and friends all knew early on that he swings both ways. I think they both experimented with guys before in their 20s. Oswald under the guise of a "joke", figuring out what guys he did and didn't like. Felix still honestly believing he was only into woman had a couple drunken flings with men in university, he was the one of the "Alcohol-Induced Bisexuality" guys.

• Felix sees Holly as a niece to him. Holly has always seen Felix as a fatherly figure but as soon as someone mistaken them for an uncle and niece everything clicked for her and she began treating Felix completely like an uncle. Even slipping up on it and calling him uncle Felix on accident.

• Holly loves bothering Felix about meaningless drama and gossip and will consider her mission a success if she can get a genuine uncontrolled reaction out of him, like a face of outrage or disgust or laughing at an inappropriate or mean joke.

• Bendy brings out a completely different side of Holly in school. While Holly has always been quiet and a model student, with Bendy she will get in trouble for laughing or talking too much in classes she has with him. It freaks out her old classmates.

• Bendy and Holly become really close friends over their years at uni together and consider each other best friends. They are insufferable and can often be seen together or in their little trio or quad with Cuphead and Alice.

• Cuphead will bring both Bendy and Holly coffee and sweets on their lunch times or study breaks as an excuse to bug and spend time with them. No one knows how he got in. He knows Holly's and Bendy's uni schedules to a t it's actually concerning.

• Holly completes her major at the top of her class with many outstanding awards for her contribution to the understanding of Micco culture.

• Bendy majors in mechanical engineering and minors in anthropology mostly due to Felix and Holly. He wishes he had the anthropology class before he had to study demon history as it would of made it so much easier to follow. Holly gets really excited when she finds out she has like one class with Bendy. He discovers he likes to figure out the way things work, that being either mechanics or people.

• Out of the circus crew Goofy is actually the best at comforting Oswald about his late wife and with the struggle of being a single father in general.

• Both Oswald and Felix being used to being romantic gentlemen to their girlfriends will often laugh about doing the same thing such as both bringing each other roses at the same time or offering to open doors or pull up chairs for each other. It takes them awhile to figure out what's comfortable for each other without the heteronormative expectations of what they should be doing for each other.

• That post about Anzu finding Felix attractive was just too good to not make some headcanons about. Anzu lightly flirts with Felix to get a rise out of Bendy. Felix is clueless and thinks he is using flattery to use him to do something for him later down the line. Felix politely takes the compliments but doesn't engage further than that. Bendy HATES this and rants to Holly about it. Holly also hates it and they both keep a close eye on Anzu when he's around Felix.

• Felix is very shy about his and Oswald's relationship (dating) at first but becomes the one to fluster Oswald more often further into their relationship. He has the rabbit completely wrapped around his finger. Dominant Felix! I will die on this hill. Hear me out PLEASE. WE ALL SAW THE WAY HE TEASED OSWALD IN THAT SCENE IN OSWALD'S BEDROOM.

• On that note, Felix is a MASSIVE tease even when they are alone. A quick flick under Oswald's chin with his tail. A steamy makeout session just for Felix to go be busy with a task. A raunchy joke or comment said in public that only Oswald can hear. This drives Oswald NUTS since he really doesn't do all that much romantic teasing, he loves attention and is not patient about getting it.

• Pre-Labyrinth Felix used to brew extra of whatever tea or coffee he was making for Cuphead and Mugman to put in their heads. Felix would always add some type of crema or sugar to Cuphead's brew, 1) because he found out Cup injoys sweet things and 2) in hopes of "sweetening" up his personality (this was unsuccessful). Holly began to create a list of how different beverages affected the cupbros when she noticed what Felix was doing. It also gave the cupbros a scene of Felix' mood that mourning, the same double shot expresso for 3 days in a row? Felix was stress researching. Cuphead would never admit how upset he was when Felix stopped doing this. Both Dishes barely change out their drinks Post-Labyrinth.

• Despite Felix' importance on accommodating Boris' wolf requirements, as an adult he ended up with cat mannerisms. It wasn't just the fact that Felix raised him but also Bendy having cat-like traits already just for them to be extremely amped up since meeting Felix. People think Boris is weird for his cat mannerisms and he was a little embarrassed of them at first but just sees them as a connection to his family as an adult.

• Alice and Bendy had kids pretty quickly once they settled down. Watching Bendy with Oswald's kids gave Alice baby fever while dating, to the point she would sometimes have to remove herself from the scene. Being angel-demon hybrids some of their children with shape-shifting abilities took on physical traits of Boris and Felix. This was a pleasant surprise to all of them, Bendy just about cried when he found out, Alice was so happy they could have physical traits from both sides of their families. Now people that know genuinely that Bendy, Boris and Felix are biologically related. The three have fun with these claims.

• Blending Oswald and Felix' families together turned out to be easier than either of them thought. Felix was extremely nervous at first with Oswald's kids but most of them handled Felix' more parental role very positively. It wasn't an overnight thing, Oswald and Felix had a lot of conversations about subtle changes as not to overwhelm them. The children calling Felix their second mum stopped pretty quickly after Felix started to take on an actual parental role, opting instead to refer to him as just Felix or going by Bendy and Boris' system of pops - Oswald, dad - Felix. Surprisingly Bendy was the first to start thinking of Oswald as a second dad figure, even before Felix and Oswald were official. Boris was confused on Oswald and Felix' relationship before he learned that gay people exist, after that he was thrilled to have Oswald as a step-father. Mickey was arguably the most excited when he's told about Felix and Oswald's relationship, he goes all out and has an entire "welcome to the family" party for Felix, Bendy and Boris. Both Oswald and Felix are deeply embarrassed by this while Bendy, Boris and the bunny kids are having the time of their lives.

• Mickey may be a sweetheart but he's still a little brother so as payback for Minnie, Mickey teases Oswald like crazy for his crush on Felix. He even makes comments to Felix about how he would be an amazing brother in law when Felix helps out around the circus. This leads Oswald to often shoo Mickey away whenever Felix is over. Donald finds all this hilarious and calls out how childish the two are being with it.

In what language does Felix think in???????

Wouldn’t Nora look more like Ortensia than Felix since she’s a woman and I assume she looks like Felix since they’re siblings..? Oswald reacted completely normal when he saw her, is that another sign that he’s falling for Felix more physically or does Nora just physically not look as close to Ortensia as Felix does?

Is it bad that I kinda wanted Oswald to have a break down thinking he’s hallucinating Ortensia when him and Nora first met?

if it’s bad, we going down together moot.
