Ford had forgotten entirely last night when he woke up and saw Bill sleeping facing away from him he jumped up and stared at the unmoving entity, he sighed and rubbed his eyes putting on his glasses, he felt his heart racing but not from fear, it was that feeling again, that heartwarming yet very high anxiety that sat in his stomach. Ford watched Bill shift and he laid back down facing away trying to act like he was sleeping, maybe Bill wouldn't rip his face off and get up and go to the chalkboard, but the significant shift in the bed made Ford realize Bill was now turned towards him and there was a 70% chance he was awake, now all he could do was lay there and wait for something to happen.

Bill slowly sat up and groaned, he got up and stretched his arms while walking around the bed shooting quick glances at Ford and something told him that his little puppet was awake. The thing that gave it away was his breathing patterns, but he decided to feed into it. He sat down and rested a hand on Stanford's shoulder, "Wake up Ford." he waited for s reply and Stanford let out a quick groan trying his best to act like he had just woken up but he was terrible at it.

"W-what..what Bill?" he rubbed his eyes, "When did you put your glasses on?" Bill slowly smirked and watched a pink tint appear on Ford's cheeks "I don't know what you're talking about-"

"I'm gonna make us some coffee, let's get to work." Bill got up and hummed a familiar tune as he made his was to the kitchen, Ford got up and walked to the dinner table and sat down, he felt so embarrassed, why did he think he could trick someone like Bill into believing that they didn't maybe hold each other..and that Ford maybe wanted that to happen, wait what? shut up no this is not how this is gonna go.

Ford shook his head in frustration trying to get ahold of himself, Maybe Bill was just messing with him and with his head trying to get a reaction out of him. Bill walked over and poured coffee into his mug "Here you are Sixer." he set it down and walked back to the kitchen setting the coffee pot down "Bill Can we um.." he felt so sweaty, he was nervous beyond belief "Talk about last night? I'm sorry for dragging you into my room and-"

"Oh, so you do remember what happened then?" Bill started to lightly laugh "It's fine Sixer, let's focus on the portal. and Besides your room is warmer than the one I'm staying in so I might steal your bed again tonight."

Ford's cheeks turned pink and he slowly looked over at the demon "Does that mean I have to take your room?"

"Hmm No, we can use the same bed, I don't care. I do need you to grab my stuff and move it to your room please, I'll go start on the portal." he walked away with his own coffee and went into the basement, Ford quickly stood up and made his way to the guest bedroom, he peeked inside and saw a suitcase, a tea set sitting on the dresser and a halfway done game of chess sitting on the table, He forgot that since Bill was in a human form he needed to shower and change his clothing to appear normal to other people.

He picked up the suitcase and opened it, just a peek couldn't hurt; He picked up a bottle of wine and he assumed that wine was Bill's favorite alcoholic drink though he had never seen the demon drink it. He looked through the clothes then closed the suitcase and sat down looking at himself in the mirror on top of the wardrobe "It's cold in here, there's no other reason he wants to be in my room." he got up and grabbed the suitcase taking it to his room and setting it down on the bed for Bill after they were done on the portal.

Stanford quickly made his way to the basement and saw Bill working on the controls for the portal, he had managed to light up half of it "Holy shit Bill this is amazing!" he pulled out his journal and got to drawing out the blueprints. "Thank you, Ford, here are the calculations and codes I used." he pushed over a few pieces of paper filled up with neat writing and every code needed to get the portal on for the left side.

"I'm gonna show you what I did so you can recreate it when I'm not here." Bill sat next to him with a pencil and for an hour explained every step he took to finish the side. "Listen, Ford, Once your part of the deal is done then it'll be my turn, This portal can help you solve anything you wanna know." Bill looked at the man who was now kneeling down covered in dust and graphite "You cannot back out of the deal."

"Why would I? You're my muse. I trust you, Bill." He smiled and got up wiping his hands on his jeans "Come on let's go get some lunch."
