Okay, since so many people-
Yuko: A total of three! It's a new record:sarcasm:
I don't like you. Anyways, since people actually liked the story enough to review, I thought I'd continue. I mean, hey, why not? I don't much like sad endings either. Also, people threatened me with pointy sporks.
Yuko: Why must you continue to torture me like this?
Oh shut up
Disclaimer: I don't own Zim or Dib; if I did they would admit their love for eachother and all those who insulted them would burn in the fiery pits of…yeah…you know where. Anyways, no Zimmie or Dibbie for me. How depressing. They belong to Jhonen Vasquez. Lucky him.
---------------------------------
The bell. I've always had conflicting thoughts about that particular sound.
It reflects the fact another miserable day in the miserable thing known as Skool, but is also announces the end of another depressing class.
So I can't decide if I hate the sound or adore it. All that matters is the fact that it also means I can finally be rid of the dibs presence and go cry in the comforts of my home.
If only that was so.
"Hey ZIM!" That voice sends warmth racing through me yet chills me to the bone. Why does it seem I'm constantly torn between loving and hating?
"What is it dib-beast?" I reply without my usual spite; I'm just not in the mood today. Maybe he'll go away. Maybe the earth will suddenly turn into a block of cheese.
Or maybe he'll frown at me in utter confusion. "What's with you today?"
"Nothing. What makes you think anything could possibly be the matter?" Despite myself I can't prevent the venom from hissing out between my teeth. Now he's looking at me as if questioning my sanity. I do that often enough now-a-days.
"Despite the fact you aren't insulting me, screaming at me, or yelling profanities?...everything." He steps in front of me, fists resting on his hips, and gives me the evilest eye I've ever seen on a human.
I match the glare with my own. "Since when did my health matter to you?" I sneer coldly; I can't help but realize how my tone matches the frozen feeling I have inside.
That forces him a step back. If I didn't know better I could have sworn there was a hurt expression on his face. "Look earth-smell…just get out of my way."
Lowering my gaze to the floor I try to shove myself past him, but much to my annoyance find my arm caught on something. Glancing up I follow the length of my arm; there we go. It appears my wrist got caught…on his hand.
Slowly I raise my eyes to meet his, a confused expression replacing the angry one. The only explanation I get is a small smile.
And then his lips are covering my own.
To say I'm shocked would be an understatement; I think my entire life support system shut down right about now. Before I can even stop to think about the consequences I close my eyes…
And kiss him back.
Time slows to a stop, the sounds seem to dim. At least in my mind. There's nothing special; no hard pressure or open mouth. Just a tender lip on lip touch, but it's enough to make my mind swirl.
Finally his annoying need to breath forces me to pull away so he doesn't die. I watch him inhale slowly, obviously trying to regain control of his repertory system. Poor human.
After a long moment he manages to raise victorious, and his eyes open to gaze deeply into my own. A small smile tugs at the sides of his lips, and I can't help but return it. Anything to make him happy.
"Yeah; everything's just peachy." Dib says quite cheerfully, before releasing my wrist and strolling off, hands in his pockets.
I just stand there, gazing after him with a growing grin on my face.
Maybe life isn't so bad.
