"I wish I could cook. Me and the guys at the drive thru know each other on a first name basis." She chuckled bemusedly and ran her finger through Din's raven locks. She's been wanting to do it since he first kissed her. It was a lot softer than she first thought. She stopped and backed away from him. "Call me when your done, okay?"

A part of him yearned that she stayed. Her body warmth was irresistible. Din merely nodded and continued to cook; his cooking was giving off a sweet smell and he decided to add a spicy barbecue glaze on the vegetables. He didn't want the meal to be too sweet and mild. And knowing how she ate, a little spicy food would be good for the stomach. When he got a free hand, he adjusted his hair back to it's proper position.

Ana sat at the computer in the downstairs study. She was IMing her gaming buddy LM1990. He was telling him about more of his relationship troubles and her returns were filled with lol's and omg's. She never had a relationship with someone befpre so she couldn't gove him the proper advice. She was still on a natural high from someone like Din liking someone like her. Its not that she had low self-esteem she just figured he would be with someone who matched his looks and race. In fictional tales they were always extremely gorgeous. Was he even in contact with others like him? Were his parents like him? Or was he adopted? When Ana sat down and thought about it she knew nothing about the man in kitchen.

'That is because you do not ask,' his thoughts echoed into hers. 'I am not adopted, so if you would like to see what a female vampire looks like, I will introduce you to my parents. Were are more human like than you think though. The idea that vampires are naturally beautiful is a false legend. It's funny how you humans seem to take things that are rather dangerous and turn them into something heavenly. Kind of funny actually.' He put the finishing touches on the meal and set the table. "It'll be ready in another minute," he called.

"Would you stop doing that." Ana yelled down the hallway. Although thinking about it may have been easier. Her thoughts weren;t even her own anymore. And what the hell does he mean she didn't ask. She shouldn't have to. And not only did she have to be wary of what she said but what she thought as well. Ana went back to the computer and messaged LM1990. Atleast you guys have privacy.

'If you didn't want me to read your thoughts, all you had to do was ask. Dinner's ready,' he thought and vanished from the house to leave her to her meal. He reappeared in his room and began to do his homework, which was still more of a nuisance that a challenge. He didn't feel like leaving her, but he felt she needed to be away from him for awhile. "I still don't think the idea of dating a vampire had truly hit her yet..."

And just like that he was gone again. She was too acustomed to being alone, having someone else in the house had been nice for a change. If he was so great at reading minds he should have seen that she enjoyed his company. She didn't like the prying. Some of her thoughts were a little embarassing and she didn't need him teasing her about them. Ana followed the delicious arouma to find a plate sitting on the island in her kitchen. She took a seat and began to dig in. "It's good," She said with a smile that never reached her eyes.

He had already finished his homework that was designed to last him the whole weekend and he sighed. Boredom soon followed until he walked downstairs to sit on the couch. His mother was there watching a soap opera and he decided to join her. She smiled when sat down next to her and she nuzzled up against him. He had always wondered if it was culture for vampires to treat family so... Kindly. After hanging with humans for so long, this kind of treatment almost felt taboo. But he let the reluctant thoughts pass and he cuddled with her. to watch the TV show. A man was telling his presumed girlfriend that things weren't working out, instead of telling her outright that he had found another girl.
His mother:

Ana finished her meal and felt full for the first time in a long time. She put the dirty dishes into the dish washer and went into her bedroom. She turn on the tv just to the noise would keep her company and walking into her bathroom. She watched as the tub filled slowly and put some bubbles into the mix.

"Mmm. Nice and warm." She shed her her clothes and crawled into the bath. She listened to the laughter of whatever sticom was airing on her tv. Her long bath was filled with sighs and groans. What the hell had she gotten herself into? Why was it so difficult? She wasn't sure how to act around, she wan't even sure what to think around him. Din was a walking test and she felt like she was failing badly and it had only been two days. Ana leaned her head back against the tile walls. "This is so hard." Her voice broke at the end but she held her tears. She wasn't going to cry over something like this. When did she become so overly emotional.

The show went on for another forty-some minutes and he noticed his mother fell asleep by her sudden relaxation. He got up and pulled a blanket over her and that's when he realized that he wasn't exactly involved in his parent's lives. That must be another cultural difference because he saw kids his age still crying at the parents and never leaving their side. After he turned off the television, he made his way up to his room and fell onto his bed to sleep. His dreams were very subliminal and he saw things like an apple held in the hand of what looked like a female hand. The apple started to have black blood drip down it's side and the apple began to rot quickly until in turned into a beating heart. He woke up and it was morning, but he couldn't help but think there was some symbolism in the dream.

The next morning Ana woke up feeling cold and sickly. She opened her eyes to find herself in her bath tub. She graoned at her idiocy and removed her pruny body from the water. She was still shivering after she dried her body off. She dressed for school and got in her car. Her nose was running and she was sneezinf anf coughin throughout her drive. She almost crashed becuase of a sneeze. Ana hunched over and dragged her feet to class. Today was going to be another long day.

Din looked at the clock and saw it was already half way through first period, but since it was a Friday, he decided to stay home. He continued to sleep, forcing himself to; he wanted to see more of these unconscious revelations. It had to be symbolism from what he saw. It constantly showed something pure and heavenly being tainted and becoming the taint. Was he going to turn her anytime soon? Or was it to show that their feelings are forbidden?

Ana was walking to a second period class. It took her a great deal not to collaspse in the hallway. She noticed that Din wasn't going to bother coming to school and she tired no to let it bother her. When she had first arrived she had to explain to the principal what happened to her yesterday. She had skipped the whole day of school just to nap in the gym with Din but she just claimed it was a stomach ache and he left her alone. The school felt unreasonably cold the entire day. During lunch she barely had enough energy to play her RPG.

Din finally got tired of the same message replayed with different views and themes. He forced himself out of bed and took a shower. The water was ice cold and would deny entry to any human, but it didn't phase him in the slightest. Once freshened up, he teleported to the school's lunchroom, knowing that's where she would be. He found her playing on her laptop and he sat next to her. He merely greeted her with a "Hey."

"Where have been?" Ana's voice was nazely and she didn't bother to look up from her game when she felt his presence. It was only when she reached her detstination did she turn off her computer and look up at Din. She could smell the fresh scent all over him. He had just come from a shower. "And if you keep phasing someone might catch you."

"I just wanted to see you and I didn't want to wait longer by walking," he said and a his face turned sad. "I'm sorry I invaded your thoughts."
((Writer's block...))

"I'm osrry I was such a witch about it. I just didn't want you hearing everything. You didn't have to leave me alone though." Ana added softly. "But I forgive you for your snooping." She leaned up and peacked Din on his lips. "You look a little paler thatn usual."

Din failed to smile and his mood reflected his skin tone. He felt empty and said, "Do you really love me?" It was a rather simple question, but he felt it would be quite the opposite to answer. Did she have feelings for him? Or was it simply because she never had someone before and she was desperate. He didn't want to believe that he imprinted the wrong person, but the idea nagged him since he bit her. The feeling has only grown stronger since. "If you do, please prove it to me. Right here and now," he said and brought his red eyes, slightly watery, to her.

"Din...?" He was scaring her. She had never seen him like this before. Not that she had known him very long. But she felt an undying loyalty to him. her heart ached when he was no longer with him. Is that what love was. She wanted him to prove it. Oh, she'll prove it alright. And the best way was to get over her fear of public displays. She got and mad sure her chair clattered to the ground making curious eyes turn to them. She grabbed him by the collar and yanked him up so their lips could meet. She held onto him tightly and hesitantly bit his bottom lip. She could hear the wolf whistles in the background but the slowly die out on all she could focus on was him. And how to get closer.

The kiss lasted as least five seconds and Din's face, along with the rest of his body, received a significant boost of color and his eyes were wide once the kiss ended and he had a joyful, yet embarrassed look on his face. "Wow... I guess I underestimated you," he said with a giggle and hugged her tightly. 'My dreams are just making me paranoid... She does love me,' he thought to himself. It was a huge mood lift and weight of his mind. "By the way, you're still not off the hook for locking me out yesterday, naughty girl."

Ana made tightened her arms around Din and buried her head in his chest. She made a small noise of approval but she didn't move. She was so embarassed by what she just did. She still had half a day left of school. And her dreade gym class was next.

Din couldn't hold back laughing and he twirled her hair. "Aww. It's ok," he tried to comfort her and once her stopped laughing, he gently stroked her back, still having a very happy smile on his face. She looked so cute when she was embarrassed and he remembered how she was curious about his family and the like. "Is there anything you would like to know about me? If you're still curious that is."

"Yes, I want you to tell me everything. And I mean everything don't leave anything out, please." She looked up into his eyes pleadingly. She was so curious about her little lover boy. She was buzzing with so many questions she just settled to let him tell her his life story.

((Goodnight.))

Din chuckled. "This may take awhile. I was born on the day you humans call... Halloween is it? I'm, as you know, a vampire and so are both my parents. I usually spent my time making and playing music and I'm part of a band, but we haven't met for the past two weeks. I like to game, as I'm sure you know by now. I'd love to tell you more, but it's a little hard to start naming off everything about me. It would make things a lot easier if you asked what you'd like to know," he said and he gazed back into her pleading eyes. With a stare like that, she could make him do anything.

((Night Night))

"Favorite color? Mine is blue. I know its corny but I read that starting with the small stuff is always better. She sneezed and sniffled a bit. "And what's your favorite food. Mine is whatever you cooked yesterday, you have to promise to make it again. She looked up and him with a gleam in her eyes.
