  I took a sip. It was so delicious! I could feel myself getting stronger. I tried to drink it slowly, but it was really hard to. Soon, the cup was empty. And I hadn't even taken a breath.  That made me wonder. I finally looked up to see Bill smirking at me.
  "Wow, you downed that fast," Bill chuckled.
  "Well, yeah. I haven't eaten anything all day! I'm still hungry.." Bill sighed and took the cup from him and started to fill it back up again. "Actually... More than that, I have a few questions.."
  "Like what?" Now Bill sounded a little irritated.
  "Uh... Does all food taste like dirt? Do we have to breathe? How different are our organs and systems from normal people? Can we sleep? How different are we from the vampires in books? Do you have any normal clothes?" Bill handed me the cup and just stared at me for a moment.
  "Slow down, kid. I can't answer all of your questions but I can answer some. Let's sit down first though." I followed him to the couch and sat down, sipping at the blood more slowly this time.
  "Starting from the first question. Not all foods taste bad, just bland ones. Toast especially. Raw meat tastes the best, but stuff like rare steaks also tastes really good. But other foods, mostly sugary or fatty foods, taste pretty good as well." I frowned.
  "What about healthy foods?" He thought for a second before answering.
  "Most fruits taste normal, but almost all vegetables and beans taste bad." I sighed.
  "So there goes my diet.." I was trying to be healthy and maybe get some muscle for once in my life, but I guess that's out the window.
  "Your dieting? I don't see why." I stared at him for a long time. I swear I could feel my face heating up but that should be impossible, right?
  "Was that a.. compliment?" I smiled teasingly. "The great Bill Cipher complimented someone! Good job!" He was smirking at me now. "...Why are you smirking at me?!" I said, genuinely confused.
  "I think you just answered one of your own questions." He sounded almost smug.
  "What? Which one?"
  "Well, your heart must still be beating if you're blushing." His tone sounded.. teasing. I whipped my phone out and opened up my camera. Sure enough, I was blushing. More of a pink but it was definitely blush.
  "I guess so, then." I was trying to play it off coolly, but I definitely sounded flustered. Why was I even blushing? I decided to change the subject and felt my pulse. "It is beating, just a little slower, you just have to really focus."
"Hmm, okay."  He reached out toward me and put his fingers on my neck to feel my pulse.
  "That's not what I meant..." I felt my face heating up more.
"I see what you mean.. but it's getting faster." Then my phone rang.
  "It's Mabel. I need to take this." I got up off the couch and walked back to the entryway. "Hi, Mabel..!" She screamed in my ear immediately.
  "Where are you? It's dark outside and I haven't seen you for hours! I was worried sick about you, Dips."
  "First of all, ow. Second, I'm at a friend's house. I'm fine. I'm coming home soon." She acted more like my mom than our mom sometimes.
  "You made a friend already? Good for you, Dips. Wait... You sound a little.. flustered. DO YOU HAVE A CRUSH???" She started fangirl screaming on the other end.
  "I- Mabel, you've got the wrong idea. I'm hanging up now. See you soon." I sighed and hung up the phone, walking back into the living room.
  "What was it about?" He was sitting in the armchair now, with one leg crossed over the other. It was kinda hot... NO. I  lushed the thought out of my mind as quickly as possible and tried to sound normal.
  "She was just worried about me not being home. It's dark already, I should probably go-"
  "Stay." It sounded like a command.
  "I-I can't, Mabel's expecting me at home." Oddly enough though... I kinda wanted to stay. He sighed, obviously dejected.
  "Okay, you can go, but I have to walk you home. It's dangerous at night."
  "I- Fine, but you have to change. What if somebody sees you in that? They'll put two and two together and then we'll probably both be kicked out or worse!" He smiled.
  "You're really not in a position to demand things, but I was going to do that anyway." He went upstairs and came back down dressed in a completely normal pair of jeans and a t-shirt, with an unbuttoned blazer over top. Hot... No...! Ugh! Why him? I tried to sound normal.
  "Can we go now..?"
  "No. First I have to get some blood for you to take just in case. Then we can go. I'll answer some more questions on the way." He did that, pouring it into a thermos this time and handing it to me.
  "Thanks.." Then we went out the door together in awkward silence.
