do u think the reason cuphead keeps fighting boris so much is because he keeps getting cuteness aggression and he does NOT know how to handle it.
it happens almost everyday day like it's ACTUALLY a problem now.. cuphead keeps flinging himself at boris for a fight over the tiniest things
boris yawns? they're throwing hands
boris wakes up and he's all scruffy? they're boxing already
boris with his mouth full like hamster cheeks? cuphead is putting on brass knuckles as we speak
boris would be SOOOO confused. perhaps even a little scared. but mostly confused
he learns there's kind of a system to cupheads weird fighting instincts and gets used to it after a while like he might as well sleep with a knife under his pillow
cuphead DOES eventually learn how to handle his cuteness aggression... but it takes a while😭 I think once they get more comfortable with eachother cuphead starts doing stuff like messing up his fur or smushing has face very roughly for fun. I don't wanna say he's AGGRESSIVE because that feels wrong but he loves fighting and he IS a very tactile person so... boris is getting treated as a stress ball and he lowkey just has to deal with it
bendy might have to step in LMAO..
b: alright, fess up. what's the deal with you fightin boris all the time.
c: whuh? what deal?
b: don't play dumb with me, cuphead. he doesn't know how to bring it up, so we're sorting this out now. you're stressing him out his mind with all this fighting stuff! if you've got a problem, then figure it out like a normal guy and-
c: I don't have a problem with boris. why wouldja think that?
b: wh- because you keep clobbering him without a second thought??
c: no, no- that's just roughhousing! cmon, bends, don't tell me you've never been play fighting before!
b: that's not play fighting, I watched you pull your gun on him and tell him to fire it last week!
c: look, look- it's not a bad thing, alright? I ain't fighting him because I'm angry. it's like.. bonding! and I keep getting this weird feeling around him, so I gotta do something with it, right?
b: .... weird feeling?
c: yeah! I dunno how exactly to describe it, but yknow when pebble yawns or curls up in his little bed?
b: you're scaring me here.
c: yknow how when something like that happens, it's just so unbearably cute that you just need to crush something to death with your bare hands?
b: what.
c: that's kinda like me with boris!
b: are you telling me you've been terrorizing my brother this entire time because you can't handle having cuteness aggression.
-
c: hey, did the fighting actually bother you allat much?
b: ... a little, I guess. I didn't know why you kept throwing yourself at me. thought I did somethin wrong to piss you off.
c: pfft, nah.
b: ...and, even if it did confuse me,... I kinda got used to it?.. almost missed roughhousin with you, in a weird way.
c: gasp! puppy! are you getting soft with me?
b: hah, don't push your luck.
