Gymnastics Au with sum Benry :D requested by @lololosks12 I hope you like this. Also this is in a world where Toons and humans live together so it's not weird to see a toon walking around. Bendy is inked in this as well.
Flexibility and the ease to jump around like a monkey on drugs takes practice. Henry had been practicing since as far back as he could remember.
He was a professionally trained gymnast, and had his own class for adults he trained. He would've done a class for kids, but he left that to the less skilled gymnasts.
He would preform shows for those who enjoyed watching the art of gymnastics, flipping around and doing incredibly talented stunts.
He was doing a show that night, and he loved watching the shock on peoples faces as he completed nearly impossible tricks.
It was a joy for him, but others of his age disliked him because of what he so loved to do. It hurt, yet he didn't care. He was lonely but thought to himself if he were to ever find love, it would be someone who loved him for who he was.

Bendy straightened his new white bow tie on his suit, ink dripping from his gloveless hand and head. It was kind of frustrating that he wasn't able to do it properly.
He let it fall loosely around his neck in a weird looking knot and gave up. His best friends Boris and Alice were dragging him to some boring gymnastics competition.
He walked down the street, shoes clacking against the pavement, tail agitatedly swishing back and forth. He arrived at the gymnastics competition and spotted Boris and Alice sitting side by side in the bleachers. He walked over and sat down by the two.
"Ya know this is gonna be borin, why d'ya wanna come here anyways?" Bendy huffed. They could be literally anywhere more interesting. Anywhere.
"You said our group should try new things for having fun so maybe we'll enjoy this? You never know." Alice said with a shrug.
Bendy crossed his arms as he watched, irked, at the men and woman preforming tricks one by one in front of everyone, each one less impressive than the last. Bendy wanted to melt into his seat and appear somewhere else more interesting.
It was finally the last contestant, a man named Henry Stein. 'At least this one has a nice name.' Bendy thought to himself.
Then Henry came out. Bendy sat straight up in his seat almost too quickly, earning him curious glances from Boris and Alice.
Henry was the most beautiful man he'd ever laid his non-visible eyes on. Bendy watched the human with more interest than the others. He was so much better than them, by a lot, really.
Bendy watched in amazement at how Henry twisted around and moved, graceful with every step and jump.
Then it was all over and Henry walked away. Bendy wasn't sure what just happened. He wished he could talk to Henry, maybe he could.
He shook it off and ignored his urging thoughts. Boris waved a hand in front of his face. "Bendy are you alright?" Alice asked.
The demon shook his head to fully re-emerge his self back into reality. "Wha- yeah I'm fine, ya were right Alice, this is pretty cool." Bendy said.
"I can tell you liked it, that last guy was really amazing." Alice agreed. Bendy nodded. The three stood to leave, them being the last ones out because they sat and talked for a bit.
As they walked through the lobby, they talked and Bendy accidentally rammed into someone else. He was quick to reach out and grab their hand to stop them from falling, putting him and the other in an awkward position.
Bendy straightened himself and let go, apologizing profusely for not looking where he was going. The other man laughed and Bendy realized it was Henry.
"Don't worry about it." He said with a kind smile. Bendy felt his heart melt and butterflies erupt in his stomach.
"Oh, you're amazing mister Stein, you been impressed this guy and he never seen him impressed before." Alice jabbed a thumb at Bendy.
She then noticed the now blushing demon had his tie put on weird. "Bendy, do you even know how to put on a tie?" Alice scoffed.
"No...I never learnt how miss perfect." Bendy grumbled. Henry let out a chuckle at the two bickering.
"I can help you with your tie if you'd like?" Henry offered. Bendy glanced at him.
"Uh, sure I guess." He said awkwardly, face warm. Henry reached up and instructed him on how to simply tie his bow, Bendy listening as best as he could with the loud voice in his head screaming. "He's so close I'm gonna sjfnoahshfk!!!" Bendy ignored his thoughts and concentrated on the instructions.
Henry left a beautifully tied bow around his neck. "Thanks." Bendy said.
"Have you ever considered going into gymnastics?" Henry asked. Bendy shook his head. "I teach a class if you'd ever consider joining, I think you might enjoy it." Henry handed him a card and gave him a warm smile, then turned on his heel and left.
Alice and Boris laughed at Bendy's blushing face after Henry was gone. "Shut uuuup." He growled.
"Are you gonna take the gymnastics lessons? I think you should, he seemed to really like you." Alice teased. She just knew he wouldn't do it.
"Y'know what? I will." Bendy said, grinning. He turned, tail happily swishing side to side as he left the walk home. "I'll see ya guys later." Bendy called.
Alice and Boris stood staring after him. "Huh, didn't expect him to actually...he's probably joking." Alice waved off the subject. Boris nodded in agreement.
Eeeeeeee I have a weird sudden burst of motivation so I might actually get a few more of these things done :D always feel free to make more requests too.
