They Corrupt Them
Chapter 20
Zim roamed around until he found the control room, where he found Red but no, Purple; he went over to the Tallest who was currently working on a few important papers. "Tallest Red, where is the tallest Purple?" Zim asked as he bounced slightly; he would tell Red now, but he really wanted to tell Purple first for some reason. Red looked away from his work when he heard Zim's voice and sat up a bit. "Oh, Pur went to get some more snacks; he should be back soon, what did you two want to tell him?" He asked as he stood from his seat, putting his work to the side.
The smaller Irken bounced more; his antenna began vibrating with so much excitement that Red found it amusing. "Zim can't tell, because he decided to tell Purple first if that is okay," he says hugging himself in pure joy, feeling as if he had eaten three bags of straight sugar. Red chuckled softly as he watched the smaller and sighed softly. "Very well, once he's back then. How did your session go by the way?" He decided to ask, curious as to how it went. Zim looked up at him in a thoughtful manner and bit his lip. "Zim thought it was odd, but he thinks it might help him; he is so interesting!"
Red nodded and smiled, glad that Zim seemed to like the therapy session; he and Purple had tried to find the best. "I'm glad." He replied and looked toward the entrance, wondering where his mate was; his thoughts were interrupted when Purple came in with the snacks. He had a flushed face. Obviously, he had had a small incident in the hall and was trying to recover from it. "I'm back with food!" He said in triumph, but noticed Zim and Dib, the smaller was smelling sweeter than before. "Oh hello!" He said happily as Red went over to him. "There you are; I was starting to get worried." He said glad his mate had returned.
"Yeah, I had a little spill in the hall and had to fix it," Purple replied, floating over to Red and setting the food down; he noticed Zim seemed to be about to wet himself in excitement. He smiled and kneeled down to the smaller. "What has you so excited Zim?" He asked, the weird matriarchal instinct making him feel protective and interested in Zim's excitement. Zim takes Purple's hand, chirping in excitement as he pressed the taller's hand to his stomach, where he felt a small flutter; his eyes widened, and he chirped back. The commotion before Red made him absolutely curious, and he had never heard that kind of chirping before. "What is it?" he wondered as Dib looked away from the two Irkens and smiled as he looked over at Red. "Zim had movement in his belly." He said; his own excitement showing through.
Zim happily lets Purple feel his stomach with both his hands till he picked up the scent of his Tallest; his eyes widened as he looked at him. "You smell…" It was the same sweetness that he had been exhibiting since he had gotten pregnant. "My tallest you are-!" Purple quickly put his hands over Zim's mouth, and he looked at him. "No, we can't tell Red yet!" He said, failing to whisper so Red and Dib could hear them. "Tell me what?" Red asked, curious as to what was going on between the two and what Purple was hiding from him. His mate waved his arms in a nervous gesture. "it's nothing! Nothing at all, we are just talking about…um…a surprise party! Yes! And I didn't want Zim telling you about it!" He was a horrible liar and Zim an 'are you serious?' look before whispering to Purple. "you really shouldn't hide it from him; he would be happy.."
The Taller shook his head as he looked at Zim. "I will tell him when I feel like it…" He said and rubbed his hands for a second before pushing the smaller to his mate. "Red! You have got to feel his tummy! It moves!" He said in the excitement which caused the smaller to be excited again, forgetting the temporary issue. "Yes, you can feel it too! This was Zim's surprise!" He said happily as Red smiled and his antenna perked. "Really? The red taller went over and placed his hand carefully over the smaller's stomach, smiling at the slight movement.
Both Zim and Purple waved their arms in excitement, feeding off each other's energy. "Isn't it cool Red?" Purple asked, and Zim chimed in. "It's so wonderful!" He giggled out, and Red chuckled a little. "This is wonderful Zim." He said, excited for the smaller who was so excited as the others in the room came over to touch his stomach. The smaller let them, though he resolved to take a nice bath after the fact. He smiled as he noticed a few of the other Irkens rubbing their own stomachs, wondering if they could feel the same joy someday.
Red looked over at Purple as he removed his hand and wondered if this was what Purple was hiding; he smiled as he thought about becoming a father himself. His co-Tallest seemed to be looking over at some Irkens with the utmost care his purple orbs as they lingered over some, they looked to be Irkens who would someday carry smeet of their own; he watched as Purple absently rubbed his stomach. Red took notice of these actions, the belly rubbing confirming his suspicions of his co-Tallest slash lover.
Once the Irkens were satisfied they return to their work, a certain lightness in the air that wasn't present before, and Zim returned to Dib smiling. "Everyone is happy..." he said like it was the most amazing thing in the world; he hugged his human and Dib smiled. "Yeah, they are." He replied and kissed Zim softly, and the smaller decided he wanted a bath. "My Tallest, Zim is leaving now, bye!" He said, pulling Dib along as he gave Purple an encouraging thumb up which the Taller Reciprocates; he will tell Red over cake later.
Dib followed Zim out of the room and tangled his fingers with Zim's own. "So Purple is pregnant too?" He asked, earning a nod from Zim. "Zim could smell it, but he hasn't told Red yet; he is probably nervous about it or something, but I believe Tallest Red will be happy." The human nodded and smiled at that. "Yeah, I'm sure he will be, though I suspect he figured it out." He said, and then a thought came to him. "How come Purple could smell the sweetness but and I could…but Red can't?" He wondered. "Maybe certain Tallers have certain instincts? I mean Purple was looking at you and the other Irkens who were holding their stomachs with this certain look."
"I think Red will be able to smell it soon, I have been thinking on it, and I have a theory," Zim said. "Taller Irkens have always commanded more power and have always come in pairs. Since the control brains influence is gone, Irkens are showing more care for each other…I think the Tallest were originally protectors, working in both patriarchy and matriarchy at the same time. Purple is being affected by the Matriarchal instincts; he smelled me before you did, I think Irkens can tell if another Irken is pregnant if they are in the same disposition." He explained as they walked. "This was for protection since most Irken relationships weren't healthy back then protection would have to come from the community first." The smaller hoped this theory made sense at least.
The human thought about it for a moment and nodded at that. "No, that actually does make sense, it's sort of like the taller protects them from any potential harm…my guess is Darquians helped in that regard in some points as well." Dib shrugged, not quite sure on that point, but still." Zim hummed as they entered the room. "In the meantime, Zim needs his bath." He said as he headed toward the bathroom as Dib closed the door. "Want me to join you?" He asked, earning a nod from Zim. "Yes, Zim would like that." The Irken replied as he went to fetch some clean clothes. "And after we need to do laundry."
Dib nodded at this before going to change out of his clothes before starting up the bath. "Alright then."
The Irken noted that the tub was big, more than enough for him and Dib. "Zim will build one of these in the base, that will be nice." He said, sliding into the tub, the liquid was warm enough, but not too mad where it would hurt the smeet. Dib wrapped his arms around him and smiled. "Perhaps if my dad and the other Irkens work on bettering the environment we won't have to move too far." He suggested. "We may even get to stay in the city."
This information earned a nod from the Irken; he would do whatever Dib wanted since it was his home too, as long as it was safe at least. "If the safety improves then Zim is fine with it." He replied, floating himself into Dib's lap, nuzzling into his bare chest. The human nodded and kissed him a bit. "It's just that I would hate to move and have my dad fly out to wherever we are to see his grandchildren." He replied, especially since he had just gotten back into their lives. Zim nodded and rested his head on Dib's chest; he knew how important his father's interest was to his human, and he was happy to foster that interest. "Zim agrees, being close to your father would be nice; he could even help with the children when it has allergies." Though he hoped that his children took after Dib in most parts and not be hurt by water or able to eat meat. "Maybe my dad can see about which genetics being dominant," Dib suggested.
"Yes, but he can use my lab, I still don't trust this," Zim said; he could have the computer do it, but he felt that this would allow Membrane to feel more involved and therefore more interested in staying involved in his grand child's life. "Yeah, that sounds good. "Dib replied, knowing the other wasn't too sure about his father and he understood that. When Zim found the matter was resolved he took the soft cleaning rag and began washing Dib's chest; he remembered reading in certain Earth cultures helping your lover bathe was a nice gesture, and he wanted to be kind to Dib. He gave a small purr as Dib kissed his forehead and cleaned him as well, after a moment he licked the human's neck as he began washing his back a bit.
Dib tilted his back a little and smiled as the Irken licked at his neck more, slowly turning the licking into kisses. "I love you." He told the smaller as Zim wrapped his arms around the human. "I love you too." He purred between the kissing; the Irken would have to deal with just kissing his neck since he couldn't quite reach his lips at the moment, a happy hum escaped him as Dib pet the tip of his antenna a little. He lay entirely onto the human as the mild cleansing gel surrounded them. As they relaxed Zim ran his fingers lightly over Dib's chest and stomach, careful of his claws while his eyes stayed half closed and a purr escaped his throat.
As Zim relaxed his antenna began exploring Dib again, loving his clean smell best of all; he gave a soft moan as Dib's fingers started investigating his skin and kissing one of his antenna that reached his mouth. He moaned lowly as he swiped his antenna over Dib's lips as if playing mouse, giving a slight shiver as Dib blew at the appendage a bit before licking at the tip. A sweet scent escaped his antenna, it was sweeter than usual, not excreting fluids as of yet but obviously getting ready for it; the Irken hummed and pressed his face into Dib's neck. The human continued his treatment, licking at the antenna as he took in the sweet scent and taste; he kept him close as he continued to work his antenna.
Zim bit his lip, it feels nice, more delicate than usual; he began gently licking Dib's neck and collarbone languidly, like a cat that has deigned to give its owner some affection; he seized his movement when he heard Dib moan from the treatment. "Zim wants Dib…" Zim said suddenly, looking up at his lover, biting his lip as he hoped Dib would agree; he hoped he wasn't too needy, but his hormones were too much. The human kissed him softly on the lips. "I want you too…" He replied as he moved his fingers into his slit, giving it attention. Zim gasped and moaned, trailing his claws lightly over Dib's skin, raising himself enough to kiss the human and hold it properly before the human lowered him onto his cock.
The Irken moaned as his body readily accepted Dib's member; he wrapped his arms around the human's neck as they kissed so could move with the other as he began his thrusts. Dib's tongue licked at Zim's lips as he awaited entrance into his mouth, the Irken complied; his serpent tongue meeting with Dib's own as they made love. He loved this, loved Dib and what the human was doing to him; the Irken was in ecstasy from the treatment he was receiving. Zim was caught between moving with Dib's thrusts and their tongue movements and broke the kiss after a moment in need of air; he panted as he tried to catch his breath, moaning as the human continued to move more and more inside him. His claws dug into the human's skin as he felt his completion approaching more and more. "A-ah…Zim loves you…" He panted.
"Mm…Dib loves you too baby…" The human moaned, causing Zim to release and cry out Dib's name; his claws digging deeper into Dib's skin, for some strange reason the human mimicking his speech pattern just made him so happy. Another moan escaped him as Dib too came inside him with a few more hard thrusts and kissed him softly; he kissed the human back, hormone levels returning to normal now that they had been satisfied with their lovemaking that had just taken place. He hugged the human but noted the marks his claws had left, a few of them bleeding slightly; he frowned at this. "Did Zim hurt you?" He asked, worried.
Dib glanced at the marks. "It'll be alright." He assured, smiling. "It didn't hurt." He had bled from injuries, having fought Zim a few times before, this didn't really bother him though since it was because of their lovemaking. "It's just proof that you enjoyed our lovemaking." Zim nodded, a slight teal to his face. "Zim enjoyed it a lot..." he said, cleaning Dib's wounds, not moving even though the gel bath was beginning to lose its heat and his human was warm enough. Dib nodded and kissed him softly once he was done. "I like all the scars our fights have caused." He admitted after a moment; Dib couldn't quite explain it, but if you thought about it, those scars were a part of history, their history and even though they hated each other then, it didn't matter anymore.
"If Zim could scar he would cherish them also," Zim said, though he was glad that he and Dib didn't fight anymore. He had cherished the fights as well, the way they were still focused solely on each other had been similar to how he felt when making love to Dib, it was so intimate, so personal; that underlying feeling hadn't matter it was just them. The human smiled and kissed his cheek. "They are reminders of what used to be...sure I almost died a few times but...though I have a feeling I may have died once..." He hummed, unsure about a distant memory, but he's unsure if it was real. "But that's neither here nor there, I cherish them, they're our past, and now this is our future."
Zim nodded, feeling a slight bit of guilt. "Zim did kill you once..." he mumbled, afraid the other would be angry with him over that, the human looked at him curiously. "You did?" He asked. "I thought I just dreamed that or something..." He said, not really mad about it. "Could explain why I cringe when I see a rubber pig though…" The Irken nodded at this. "If it helps you almost killed Zim multiple times and the rubber piggies are definitely from that incident." Zim laughed a little, remembering how odd that whole scheme was.
"That makes sense," Dib replied. "I had some really messed up dreams that involved all that." He chuckled softly and shook his head as Zim hugged him. "Zim is happy you don't hold his past badness against him, it would make him sad."
Dib hugged him close. "Babe, the past is in the past, what matters is right now." He smiled, and the Irken nodded happily, cuddling into the hold; his tummy moving again against Dib's own causing a bit of an odd sensation. The human kissed him softly. "We should get out of the tub." He smiled.
"Zim agrees, he is cold now...need cuddles," he said, latching onto Dib indicating the human will carry him; he giggled as Dib carried him out of the tub and then started drying him off, the Irken loved how fluffy the towel felt around his body. Once Dib finished drying him off he ran into the bedroom and snuggled into a bunch of blankets on the bed so he and Dib could be extra warm; he smiled and snuggled into dib once he got into the bed with him and kissed him softly. "I love you," Dib told him. "Zim loves you…our smeet loves you too." He purred and nuzzled his head under the human's chin a bit. "I love out smeet too," Dib replied.
The strange sensation returned for a little bit before going still, and Zim yawned. "See, it is sleepy too...remind Zim to do laundry tomorrow... and we need to ask Gaz how her date went..." he smiled a little and couldn't wait for that story. Dib nodded and smiled a little as he snuggled with the Irken. "Alright babe, good night." He said, yawning a bit himself as Zim curled into him, falling asleep not long after.
