Authors Note: Tak and Table-headed Service Drone Bob will show up in chapter two, also any advice or criticism is great since this is my first fan fiction.
Dib just sat on the curb staring at his ash and soot covered boots. As he tried not to think of everything he had just lost he looked over at Gaz. She was sitting on the curb next to him angrily mashing buttons on her Game Slave, but he could see tears threatening to form in her dark amber eyes. Hesitantly he asked her, "Are you okay Gaz?" Without looking up she mumbled, "My only picture of mom was in there, what do you think?"
Dib just looked back at the smoldering ruin that had been their house and sighed. Looking back he could see Gaz was about to start crying when a gloved, three-fingered, hand wrapped around her shoulder. She immediately turned into Zim's embrace and started quietly sobbing. Zim just sat next to her and whispered comfort to her. He winced as her tears soaked through his shirt, but he said nothing. Looking over at Dib, Zim smirked, "Does Zim have to hug you as well Dib-human?" Dib glared and shouted, "No! I don't even like you touching my sister, let alone me." Gaz looked up at both of them and said, "Be quiet"Zim and Dib both looked down and grumbled a small apology. Zim looked up at Gaz and softly asked, "Could you save anything?" Gaz just sighed, "Nothing that really mattered." Zim sighed and looked to Dib with the same question. "Well I got my laptop out, but that's pretty much all."For several hours the three just sat and watched the firemen work and the heat die down in the rubble behind them.
As thunder boomed and dark clouds loomed overhead Zim slowly looked up and rose to his feet. "Can we go back to my base now, please?" Dib looked skeptical but Gaz nodded and rose to leave. So they all climbed into the Voot Cruiser and headed off. When they were all finally sitting around the table in Zim's kitchen, Gaz looked over at Dib and said, "I guess we should call dad or something." Dib nodded silently and got up, looking out the window watching the rain, and walked into the living room. Zim picked up Gaz's hand and asked, "Do you have somewhere to go tonight?" She shook her head. He nodded firmly before saying, "Then you and the Dib-beast will stay here." Gaz scoffed lightly, "There's only one couch and no bathroom." Zim just waved her away before shouting up to nothing in particular, "Computer! Add a new wing to the house! Make sure it has two separate bedrooms and a bathroom with standard earth plumbing and running water!" He practically spat out the word water, as if he could already feel it burning his flesh. A bored voice simply replied, "Sure, it should be done within the hour I guess." Zim nodded and grinned triumphantly at Gaz, "You see? Nothing is beyond the amazing power of the almighty ZIM!" Gaz just smiled, "Whatever Zim. Thank you." Zim smiled genuinely up at her before moving up to give her a soft kiss.
Dib walked in just as their lips separated and shouted, "Come on! It's bad enough that you two are dating but now I have to watch it!" Zim just smirked and replied calmly, "The Dib is just jealous that Gaz will not have to be a slave like him when this ball of filth is conquered." Gaz and Dib exchanged a brief look before smiling knowingly. Zim was a senior in Hi Skool and his plans were just as bad as when he had first arrived on Earth. Dib hardly had to try to stop Zim anymore, actually Zim's plans often wound up stopping themselves. It was more a game of going through the motions now. In fact, ever since Zim had asked Gaz to be his love-pig, Dib and Zim were almost friends. After all they were both picked on at school, and they knew practically everything about each other. Gaz looked at the phone in Dib's hand and asked, "So what did dad say?" Dibs reply was somewhere between sad and angry, "His assistants wouldn't even let me talk to him." Gaz sighed and felt relief at the three-clawed hand resting gently on her shoulder. Dib awkwardly shuffled his feet before clearing his throat, "Um… Zim I hate to ask but, do you think that we could uh… Stay? Just for tonight." Gaz felt Zim squeeze her shoulder before letting go and stepping back, "What? You want the great ZIM, your future master and slave-lord to allow filthy, pig-smelly hoomans to remain in his home?! How dare you ask such a thing of the almighty Zim?" Dib was shocked at Zim's sudden outburst and shouted back, "Man Zim, I just thought you might let your ONLY friend and your GIRLFRIEND stay for just ONE night, but-" He stopped when Gaz scoffed slightly, and he looked down to find Zim smirking, "Dib, Zim was only as you humans say, 'fucking with you.' Zim has already begun preparations for your indefinite stay." Dib shook his head and sat down, "You can be a real ass, you know that Zim?" But Zim just laughed at this and walked over to the toilet in the middle of the kitchen before saying, "Zim thinks the base is too quiet. I must find Gir before something explodes."
Heading down the tube, Zim wondered what the little robot could possibly be doing. Finally he stepped out to see a turkey sitting on a table in the middle of the lab. His eye twitched at the memory of last time Gir played this trick. It had been three long hours of cleaning exploded bits of turkey off the walls, floor, and ceiling. Zim sighed and called out, "Gir, please don't blow up that turkey like last time." The turkey remained silent and motionless. Slowly Zim walked over and saw that the table the turkey sat on was actually a shipping crate. Carefully he picked up the turkey and put it off to the side and opened the crate. Inside he found a large metal piggy. He raised an imaginary eyebrow in curiosity. As he reached down, suddenly confetti started raining down and techno music filled the air as Gir fell from the ceiling with glow sticks hanging from every conceivable place on his body. Gir landed directly atop Zim's head and grabbed his antennae screaming, "Raaave party!" Just then the Pig opened up a few side hatches and lasers shot out with smoke streaming forth. Sitting in the kitchen Gaz and Dib heard sudden techno music and Zim screaming in pain.
Dib looked up and said, "I guess he found Gir." And they both looked down and went back to what they were doing.
Down below Zim had gotten Gir off his head and was yelling at him, "No Gir, none of the filthy Earth rave parties!" Gir started wailing at that and Zim's already sore antennae went flat against his skull in pain at the loud cries. After a moment or two Zim had enough, "Gir! Gir, we have company! Go and make them waffles!" Gir immediately stopped crying and said, "Waaaafles." He said it in a long drawn out mystified voice. He then charged for the elevator and flew up it. Once he was alone Zim sighed, "That horrible robot will be the death of me." With that he came back upstairs to find humming happily to himself as he laid several stacks of fresh waffles in front of two very sullen Membrane children. Zim asked, "Love-pig? Dib? What's wrong? Has Zim upset you somehow?"Dib just looked up with his chin resting in one hand. "Really Zim, you have to ask? Our house just burned down." This statement only confused Zim more as he had many dwelling places in his life, but he had never had a "home." He said, "So? It is not of extreme difficulty to rebuild such things." Dib sighed, "You just don't get it. I guess it's a human thing." Gaz Looked up and explained to Zim, "We don't really care about the building, we're upset over the memories and the stuff the house stood for."
Zim thought he understood, and he knew he had to do something to lighten the mood. "Well as you said it was memories so they can never really leave you. Even if the house is gone hold on to what you loved about it." Gaz blinked, surprised at the very human sentiment that had just come from the Irken soldier. Dib was equally shocked, and Gaz smiled lightly before saying, "That actually makes a lot of sense." "Yeah," Dib agreed, "I actually feel a bit better when I think about it like that." Zim nodded triumphantly at the sudden uplift in his friends' spirits. Suddenly Computer beeped, "Master the new wing is completed." Dib looked up. "New wing?" Zim grinned, "Your new sleeping quarters." He then took Gaz' hand and led them through a previously unnoticed door in the back of the kitchen. Through this new portal they found a hallway with four doors. Two of the doors were regular doors, and the other two had Gaz and Dib's names respectively. Zim said, "The unlabeled doors are the bathroom and a coat room. Walking into their rooms Gaz and dib found both to be empty sheer metal squares, with a stomach height pedestal in the center of each room. Zim explained, "Simply design your rooms how you wish them to be and Computer will make it so." Dib designed his room almost exactly like his old room, but he gave himself a better desktop. Gaz made her room similar to her old one but without all the Game Slave posters. But it had the same dark blue walls and deep purple curtains with matching bed sheets. She gave herself a bookshelf with her favorite books and a large TV with a beautiful gaming platform. They both replaced the design pads to their pedestals. The pedestals immediately sank into the floor. Holes opened in the walls and floors, and furniture came up from unknown places. The walls and ceilings changed color as the floors turned into hardwood flooring and carpets. Gaz and Dib stood back in slight awe at the transformation of the plain metal rooms into personal bedrooms. It was already late so Dib thanked Zim again and went off to prepare for bed.
Gaz went into her new bedroom quietly and sat on her bed. Zim followed her in and closed the door behind him. Walking over to where she sat he was eye level with her and he said, "Is something still wrong love-pig?" Gaz was always amused at how short Zim was. Though he was a senior in Hi Skool, Zim had never really grown beyond about four feet tall. The other students always gave him shit about it, but Gaz thought it was cute. Of course, he had enough trouble in school with it so she would never say anything to him. Gaz sighed, "Zim we really appreciate you letting us stay here and everything, and what you said earlier makes sense, but we lived in that house all our lives. It was our home and now it's just gone." Zim sat on the bed beside her and put his arm around her. "I know, but you can't change this type of thing. And don't blame yourself, because I've noticed humans always blame themselves when bad things happen. But you can't blame yourself for something that no one has any control over. Besides, your home is wherever you keep your heart."
Gaz pulled him down into a more comfortable position lying on the bed. "Since when are you so helpful on human affairs?" Zim pulled her closer, "Since I did large amounts of research on human psychology when I first began to have feelings for you." Gaz looked down into his deep red eyes and smiled. Zim moved up to her face and kissed her firmly but gently on the mouth. She wrapped her arms around him as his hands became more entangled in her hair. He ran his tongue along her lips, asking for permission to deepen the kiss. Feeling his tongue on her lips she decided to enter his mouth instead. Feeling this Zim shuddered in pleasure and started purring. As he wrapped his long segmented tongue around her own, Gaz let out a low moan. Hearing the noises she made always gave Zim such pleasure that his antennae started to shudder with each sound she made.
Dib suddenly walked in, "Gaz do you know how to- oh come on!" Immediately shielding his eyes Dib looked down and groaned. Zim was somehow thrown off the bed and onto the carpeted floor as Gaz jumped up to throttle her brother. "What the fuck do you want Dib?" Dib still couldn't look at his sister so he looked at the walls, floor, and ceiling instead. "I couldn't find Zim so I was wondering if you knew how to work the shower." She pinched the bridge of her nose and said, "That's it? That's all you wanted"
At this point Gir walked in with a stack of green, glowing waffles and shouted, "Guess who made Rave Waffles!" Zim noticed the complete absence of glow sticks hanging off Gir whereas before he must have had close to a hundred. Shuddering at the thought of what effect Gir's "Rave Waffles" would have on the others as well as himself he said, "Gir! Glow sticks are not food! You can't put glow sticks in waffles!" Gir looked down and said, "Aww man." Then he walked out humming a happy tune.
Looking back to the argument between Gaz and Dib, Zim realized that Gaz had that look. The look that she got before sentencing someone to a horrible doom that they could never be free of. Running over Zim got between Gaz and Dib and said, "Dib I think you should go to your room for a while, Gaz let's go take a walk outside." Dib started to protest but a glance at his sister and he was off like a bullet.
Zim took her hand and led her outside to the cool night air. Dib decided to figure out the shower in the morning and went to bed. Zim and Gaz walked hand in hand through the neighborhood all the way to the park. Zim kept looking up at his Gaz, still a little surprised at how easily she had thrown him across the room. He was small but she had thrown him like he was nothing at all. He always seemed to forget how much strength was in her petite frame. It made him smile when she reminded him with a punch in the shoulder or effortlessly moving him on the bed. At the thought of the bed he smiled in fond memory of the nights when she would share his bed. Those nights were not very often but they were always wonderful. In fact he had only made her a room to herself, instead of her staying in his room, was so that she had a place that was all for herself. Which was important to humans… for some reason. Though he had studied humans and human behavior extensively when he and Gaz started dating, he still didn't fully understand human sentimentality just yet. But he tried for her and that's all she seemed to want from him. Gaz pulled them over to a park bench to sit down.
As Zim put his head on her shoulder Gaz sighed, "Sorry about that, he just came in right as we got going and well, we haven't had time together for a while. It just annoyed me." Zim laughed, "Well we live together now, so there's plenty of time for just us." Gaz tensed up at that. She hadn't thought about it like that. They had only been together for a year or so and they were still in Hi Skool. Most couples didn't move in together at such an early stage, but she weighed the pros and cons. She would be able to see him all the time, but at the same time she would see him all the time. Plus he would see her in the mornings, which was rarely a pretty sight. Although she had spent the night with him plenty of times before, so that didn't really matter really. Also since when did she care what anyone thought of her?
Gaz was brought out of her thoughts when she noticed Zim staring up at her with concern in his eyes. He was standing in front of her with her face in his hands. When had he moved? And when did he grab her face? "Gaz?" He sounded like he had said her name a few times. "Sorry Zim, just spacing out I guess." He gently ran a claw through her purple hair lovingly. "What were you thinking about Gaz-love?" She smirked, "Just the pros and cons of living with you."
Zim let out a short barking laugh, "There are no cons." And he leaned in to kiss her passionately. Gaz immediately gave in to him, wrapping her arms around him. Pulling her up into her she almost giggled when he wrapped his little legs around her waist. He seemed blissfully unaware of how childlike his small body seemed on her lap. But there was nothing childish about what his hands and mouth were doing. His long tongue invaded her warm mouth as his hands worked their way up and over her body. Feeling somewhat exposed in the very public setting Gaz breathed out, "Let's go home Zim." He grinned, showing his zipper-like teeth and nodded.
Hurrying home they went directly to Zim's bedroom. They went straight to his bed and were slightly surprised at how warm the dark red velvet cloth was. Zim pulled off his shirt without any hesitation and threw it off to the side. Gaz drank in his well toned abs and muscular chest, as well as his smooth, unmarred skin. Gaz thought to herself, he may but short but damn is he sexy. Zim came back down over her and started nuzzling and kissing her neck. She made a soft hum from the back of her throat at the pleasure of his hot tongue running up and down her neck. It was slightly wet, but god it was just so soft. His fingers pulled up at the edge of her shirt as he moved down to lay kisses on her stomach and work his way up. She pulled away long enough to throw her shirt off to the side and he reached around her to pull at the clasp of her bra. When it fell off he pushed it off the bed and laid her down on her back. He started to kiss and lick her right breast as his left hand pinched and played with her other one. She bit her lip to stifle her moaning as her breathing started to get faster. As he suddenly bit her hard nub lightly she couldn't help but cry out a little in ecstasy. She felt him smile as he did it again. She reached down and started rubbing his antennae. He purred lightly and slipped a finger into the band of her skirt and looked up at her asking permission. She looked down and nodded, slightly annoyed at the pause in her pleasure. He pulled her skirt down in a single swift motion. She felt slight chill but it was gone as soon as he came over her once again. She sat up and started undoing his belt as she kissed him. He moved back again to remove his pants leaving him in nothing but his light purple boxers. Gaz eyed his obviously hard member hungrily before he crawled back onto her and pulled her panties down. He moved his head down between her thighs and licked her wet pussy. Her hips bucked at the sudden pleasurable sensation. He let his tongue run along her outer folds and she moaned loudly. She threw her head back as his tongue slipped fully inside her.
She moaned out, "Mmmm yeah Ziim, right there." Zim always enjoyed hearing his Gaz moan out his name. She could hardly hold in a moan of pleasure as he slowly inserted one then both of his thick fingers and started making slow scissoring motions. He steadily increased the rhythm of his fingers as his tongue rolled around her swollen bead. As he continued this for a few minutes her breathing turned to a sort of raspy panting. She once again started stroking his antennae and he increased the pace of his fingers and tongue. His purring added a delicious vibration to his tongue and lips as he kissed and lightly nipped at her folds. Finally she threw back her head and cried out his name as she climaxed into his mouth. Pulling his fingers out when she finished, he looked into her eyes and started licking his hand and lips lustfully. She stopped him with a smirk and said, "If you think we're done already, then you haven't learned anything yet." Zim smiled and said, "I wouldn't dream of stopping yet." He enveloped her mouth with his own and explored the hot cavern of her mouth yet again. He ran his hand up her thigh and up to her boobs. Her breathing picked up again as he went back down to nip and suck on her perky breasts. He backed off briefly to remove his boxers, revealing his throbbing cock. Gaz smiled seductively at the sight of it, thinking about how it was huge compared to the rest of his diminutive body. They locked eyes as he climbed back up and positioned himself between her legs. She closed her eyes and released a long, low moan as he began sliding up and down her lips. She propped herself up onto her elbows and started to suck on Zim's antennae. Tensing for a moment he let out a grunt of ecstasy. He reached down and grabbed her hips as he repositioned himself to actually enter her. He hovered above her entrance as she lightly nipped the tip of his antenna. He exhaled sharply as he thrust into her slowly. Gaz squeaked at the sudden pleasure, and scolded herself for such a noise. She quickly forgot it though as he pulled out to just the tip and thrust back in hard. She hummed in pleasure as he continued the slow but strong pace. Just as she was about to ask him to go faster he did exactly that. He continued thrusting quicker and quicker into the tight, wet body below him. She moaned loudly and stopped sucking his antennae so she could kiss him passionately before going back to them. Still burying his tool all the way into her soaking wet pussy Zim leaned down and continued licking and fondling her hard nipples again. They could both feel themselves getting close to climaxing as he continued his fierce pounding. Gaz thought she couldn't feel any better when he abruptly slammed into her G spot again and again. She released a scream of pure ecstasy as she hit her orgasm. Her tightening muscles forced him ever closer and as she had a second orgasm within minutes he came as well.
When he finished he pulled out and crawled up so he was at the same level as her face. He kissed her softly and asked, "Good?" Gaz tried to hide her smile but couldn't, "You're getting better." Zim smiled darkly before they both settled into each other's arms and fell asleep.
Dib pulled his head out from under his pillow as the sounds of his sister yelling Zim's name ceased. He whispered to himself, "I hope every night isn't like this." He then tried to sleep without thinking about what went on below him.
