Dib's POV

I woke the next morning feeling worm and almost…blissful. I felt a worm body wrapping itself around my own body. The legs of the body were intertwined with mine, and the arms were wrapped tight around my waist. I looked down to see the hand that was resting across my belly, I saw that it was green and had three fingers. I quickly sat up and looked at the sleeping figure next to me, it was Zim! Suddenly the memories of the night before came rushing back through my mind. 'Oh, Crap!' I thought. I had sex for the first time! With Zim! What was I going to do now? Am I falling in love with Zim? No! I can't fall in love with Zim! I can't fall in love with anyone! Love doesn't exist!

Suddenly I felt the body next to me shift. Zim was beginning to wake up, he opened his big maroon eyes and looked up at me. "Um…Uh...Good morning." I said to him. "H..how di..did you sleep?"

"Zim slept adequately after becoming immune to the sound of your incessant snoring." Zim said teasingly with a playful smile. 'He's so cute.' I thought. I then shook the thought out of my head 'No! Zim isn't cute! He is my enemy!' all of a sudden I felt Zim's hand reach up and stroked my arm. "Zim is still hungry." He said "You did not feed me last night."

"S…Sorry" I said "Would you like some breakfast?"

"I suppose Zim is hungry enough to consume some of your earth food." He said while stretching and sitting up.

Zim put his clothes on from the day before that I had set out to dry. We walked downstairs into the kitchen together. "Do you want waffles?" I asked him.

"Waffles actually sound enjoyable." He said "It's the only thing that GIR forces me to eat that doesn't make me want through up." He said.

"Waffles it is then." Is said as I took out a box of Ego waffles from the freezer. He was probably expecting something homemade, but I can't cook. I put them in the microwave for about 2 minutes and waited.

I stared at Zim as he ate his food. "These are not as good as the ones GIR makes." He said disappointed.

"That's because GIR makes them himself." I said "I bought these from the store."

Zim drummed his fingers on the kitchen table "They are fine for now," he said "but now that we are mates I expect you to learn to be a better cook."

I almost choked to death on the waffles. "Mates!" I shouted.

"Yes." He said confidently. "You preformed the human mating ritual on Zim last night so that makes us mates, does it not?"

"No, Zim!" I shouted "Just because we had sex does not mean that you are my boyfriend now!"

"You do not like Zim?" He asked in a sad tone.

Suddenly I felt bad for Zim. I had never seen him like this before. "No, Zim it's not that it's just…before this moment, I've always had a tight grip on reality, but right now… you're right in front of me and I can't ignore it. I'm so confused!" I took a deep breath.

"Well it is obvious that you are attracted to Zim." He said "So why do you not want to be Zim's mate?"

"I already told you, Zim! It's because I don't believe in love." I said "I don't want to get my heart broken! I can't fall in love with anyone!"

"Oh really?" he said as he leaned across the table and gave me a deep and passionate kiss. "How do you feel about Zim now?" he asked as he stroked my scythe shaped cowlick on the top of my head.

"I suppose it would not be so bad if…I made an exception." I said "Just for… a little while."

We kissed for a little while after that. and suddenly I remembered what my dad had told me. What would he do if he found out?
