This is a commission I wrote for one of my friends on DA so I am posting it hede for you guys enjoyment.

Waffles

Dib boar his eyes into his opponents wide odd colored one's. They both stared at each others eyes with a defying look neither breaking contact. Dib's eyes then started to have that prickling sensation. He knew he had to blink and soon but… his pride would not let him.

NO!

He refused to give up the fight!

Oh but he needed to blink soooo bad!

Dib's eyes then started to water and burn. His opponent however showed no signs of tiring in the slightest. His rival just sat there on the couch giving him a look that he could only describe as taunting and smug. Dib let out sight growl as his discomfort grew. For this he was rewarded with a head tilt. Dib huffed in frustration. 'Damn why doesn't it blink! It can't be human!' Dib thought furiously but then he mentally kicked himself, for conceiving such a stupid though, of course it wasn't human. But even so he was not going to give up. Oh no nothing could-

"Dib-beast!" Zim's voice boomed from behind him making him flinch and…blink. Damn it!

"What?" Dib said turning quickly like a child that was caught doing something naughty and trying to look innocent.

Zim who was leaning on the door frame, looked at Dib with an annoyed look. "How many times does Zim need to tell you leave the Waffles-creature alone"

"But I di-"

Zim sighed "Save it. it's Waffles foodening time anyway" he said disregarding whatever excuse had and walked back into the kitchen.

Dib looked at Zim's reiterating figure and when he was out of sight he looked back at the 'Waffles-creature' again. Waffels though wasn't there anymore because she had left like a shot at the sound of the can opener. Dib heaved a heavy sigh and snatched his coat that Waffles was sitting on. He slipped it on and plopped down on the couch crossing his arms. After a moment or two Dib sighed.

Waffles:1

Dib: 0

"Stupid cat" He breathed. Dib could swear that cat liked to piss him off and make Zim mad at him on purpose. But he guessed that it was probably wasn't that bad, it was just a kitten anyway, and he knew Waffles didn't like people to begin with. So he was just lucky that the kitten didn't try to claw at him anymore. Sometimes though Dib still didn't believe at times that Zim had a cat.

It was so odd…

Zim walked into the living room non-chloranthy, Dib eying him, as he sat down next to him. "So Dib-stink what did you bring today" Zim said

"wha-Oh yeah" Dib said uneasily as he snapped back into reality from his musings. Dib grabbed the remote and pressed play then sat back.

"So what is it today?" Zim asked

"It's an anime" Dib answered simply.

"A what?"

"A cartoon from a different country"

"Country?"

"Just watch it"

Just as the show was starting Waffles came into the room, hopped up on to the couch again and snuggled into Zim. Zim however barely paid any attention to it but did not shove it away. Dib wondered how it had come to this, I mean Zim caring for another earth creature. Dib knew that Zim was getting better at showing emotions and stuff ever since they started going out but Dib never really thought that Zim would allow an animal in live in his base. It had been him that found the cat in the first place he had actually tried to hide it from Zim. But then suddenly the cat was named Waffles (by Gir) and lived in the base getting Zims attention and practically begging for it. Attention that the small cat obtained most of the time even when he was with Dib. NO…..Dib was not jealous not a bit!

Zim leaned a little into Dib, Dib automatically wrapped an arm around him. Waffles got up and glared at him leaving the room again seemingly annoyed. Dib just smiled to himself.

Waffles : 1

Dib: 1

Nope not jealous…..
