Zim raised a gloved hand to his cheek. It was still tingling. The human had actually put her lips against him! He knew he should be completely horrified and disgusted at the thought of an inferior human showing him affection. But he wasn't. He wanted it to happen again. He wanted to- No. His smile disappeared. This was wrong. This was all wrong. He shook his head to clear it. He couldn't let this filthy worm-beast get in the way of his mission. No, he had to tell her that they simply couldn't be together. They couldn't be friends and they couldn't be mates...no matter how bad he wanted them to. He wondered what Gaz was thinking.
But she wasn't thinking about it at all. She had pushed the kiss far from her mind and was curled up on the couch with Gir watching I am Legend. The little robot had finally powered down. She smiled at him and then frowned towards Zims bedroom. He still hadn't come out. She tried to ignore it and get back to fantasizing about Will Smith (yum) but her eyes kept dancing back to that bedroom door with worry. She eventually sighed and, careful not to wake Gir, got up and went to see what the problem was. She didn't bother knocking. She walked right in to see Zim still sitting on the edge of the bed where she had left him. His crimson eyes were deep in thought. She knocked on the open door with a smile. Fuck. Why did she feel these butterflies?!
"Hey." She said quietly. He looked up at her with anger in his eyes.
"Gaz-human, Zim needs to discuss something with you." She raised an eyebrow at his tone and sat beside him.
"Zim-" he stopped. He was lost in her eyes.
"Zim-" he tried again but couldn't get it out. Since when were her eyes so beautiful? She saw the way he was looking at her. His eyes said that she was the most precious thing they had ever seen. She smiled. She knew that look. Being an outcast at Hi Skool, she had done a lot of watching and a lot of listening. She had seen lovestruck teens gaze at each other the exact same way a hundred times before.
"Zim." She snapped, breaking him out of the trance. He blinked and shook his head to clear it.
"Zim can not-" he struggled to finish the sentence. He didn't want to finish it. This was starting to annoy her. He blushed in embarrassment. Why was this so hard for him? She rolled her eyes and grabbed his shoulders. He froze as she smirked before pulling him to her and kissing him. It wasn't gentle like when she kissed his cheek. It was hard. Rough, even. He trembled at first but his confidence quickly grew and he wrapped his arms around her, deepening the kiss. She moaned slightly before gently pushing him away, her pale cheeks a bright red.
"I, uh..." Now she was the flustered one.
"I'm gonna go watch TV." She blurted and quickly walked out of the room. Zim sighed and collapsed onto the bed.
"What on Irk am I getting myself into?" He muttered. But he couldn't keep the grin off of his face. The kiss had been perfect. He knew that no matter how wrong this was, he wanted it. He wanted it more than anything. This mean, cocky, human girl was the only person or thing he had ever cared about. Knowing that she cared for him as well made his organs feel funny. He had actually made her moan. He chuckled. School was definitely going to be interesting tomorrow.
