Dib was in hi-skool he had change a LOT over the years. He was tall(6'2), his hair had grown quite long, and he was not into all the things he liked when he was a kid. But he did like to fight Zim, that one thing he would never forget. He had also grown u pinto the phase of cutting himself. No one knew of it of course.

Not his father, Zim, or Gaz. He hid the cuts well with the use of many wrist bands of variety and colors. He was also was under weight by 20 lb leaving him very thin. And to top it off in his life he had a crush on someone.

I sat at my desk with my headphones in, listening to some hard core songs, not really paying attention to anything the teacher said to the class. Then the teacher had told the class it was free to do what they pleased. I got up grab my stuff and went outside to a tree and sat under it.

It was then when I turned off my blaring ipod and removed my headphones from my ears, that someone was in the tree on a branch just above me. It was Zim I saw up in the leafy foliage. Curious I then climb up to the branch he sat on and spoke calmly so as not to scare him "What are you doing up here?"

Zim pov

Doing as the teacher had instructed me and the rest of the dirt-children to do as we wanted, I ran as fast as I could and climbed the farthest tree. I was there for about ten minutes when I noticed Dib under me turning off his ipod. He just looked at me for a moment before he grabbed onto the tree's limbs and hauled himself up to sit next to me. "what are you ding up here?" He asked.

"what am I doing up here is really nothing" I said as I pulled out a pen and a note book to start a picture I had been doing previously for art class.

"Wow Zim you can draw really good!"

I smirked at the humans appraisal "Thanks Dib-thing but I bet you can draw better than I can"

"What? No you draw better then me and I'll show you if I have to" Dib said as he climbed back down and got his notebook to show me. As he climbed back up I easily caught notice of the many cuts on his wrist as the bracelets rode up.

"Dib-thing what is on your wrist?" I asked quite annoyed

The human threw me a confuse glance before responding "What, oh there nothing Zim"

Like Irk they were nothing. "No they're not just nothing, you have begun cutting your self, tell me why?!"

He sighed in defeat. "Okay but don't say a word got it"

I raised a false eyebrow "Got it"

He took in a deep breathe and exhaled heavily before answering me. "Alright I've been cutting myself since three years ago because I fell in love with someone. But I knew that they hated me so that why I have cuts on my wrist."

"...Who did you fall in love with Dib?"

Dib did not answer me right away like I had thought he would "What?" It seemed my question had caught the human off guard

"Dib tell me who you love" The words came out sounding more of an order than a request.

" I fell for you Zim." His answer was soft and quiet.
