It was morning again. The boy woke up with slight dizziness in his head, he remembers the robot as it talked about its Master: how he's, oh so kind and loving when it's his things.

"Master always hugs me!"

"Master cleans the colors off my face and sometimes piggy!"

"Master said he likes my waffles!"

"Master is lonely, but he has you now!"

"Master will protect us! Even the piggy!"

"Master loves us."

Was what the robot kept murmuring about for hours, all about Zim, some about his home planet but Dib couldn't get him to talk much about it, he only knew something about 'the tallest' and how tall they are, and also how pinkish the planet must be is all. Gir was still sucking blood and drawing at the same time, his drawings were mostly about pigs, some actually about a weird-looking alien in which Dib assumed was Zim's true form; but the drawings were poorly made he couldn't tell much.

He didn't realize he slept at all, maybe the loss of blood was the reason; his head already hurts anyway. Looking down at his wounds, he was surprised to find pink band-aids on his cuts, all have hearts on them. The window was closed, no trace of cheese anywhere, and if the band-aids weren't there he would have thought he imagined it- oh and the paper with those words that was under his pillow also proved a lot.

Dib really hoped this will work, he didn't want to have his legs shoved off or be killed horribly by an alien.

He sighed and grabbed a black sweater with a high collar to cover his choker and also the weird spider webs-looking scar.

Time for school.

XXX

Zim didn't come to school which Dib appreciates, he wanted to say those words to him alone, maybe if he died he'd die also alone and without people throwing a party because of it.

Being alone, in the cafeteria, surrounded by people but also feeling alone was something Dib's used to. Since middle when his Illness started people avoided him more often as if they would catch his 'craziness' if they got close. Even Gaz stopped sitting with him like they used to do, saying she was embarrassed and didn't want people seeing her with the 'crazy kid'. Well, Dib tried to not think about it, and also tried to forgive his sister and reasoning her for her actions; he truly didn't want others to call her insane just because of him, so she was justified in his eyes.

Still...

Aren't siblings support each other? He knew all siblings fights but-... not like that, right? She's his sister, didn't she just sit and think: Dib's my only brother. It still hurt him to think that: no, she will never think that way. All she cares about is her video games and how people saw her.

Long story short: Dib is used to being alone.

So why did it feel wrong now? He was 'friends' with the alien for only a week, this change of routine can't change him forever now, can't it? And also, Zim IS an alien, he wasn't supposed to miss him, even if he just surrendered to him, against his people; he was a traitor.

Did it really matter? No, no it didn't, not anymore.

He can't lie to himself, he did like the irken's company as weird as it is. Zim gave him attention, something he's so desperate for.

Zim was the only one who cared for him, Zim can make everything okay.

Hey, look up!

"Aw, you're back to be alone?" A teen from his class leaned over the table, smirking as he brushed his brown hair off of his face, "your friend left you all alone, huh, I guess you scared him with your 'craziness,!" He laughed, glancing at his team so they would laugh with him.

This isn't funny.

"He didn't leave me," Dib said, though his voice was too low among the others laughters.

"What did you say??" One guy from behind snapped, acting all that strong when Dib was sure he was the shortest, ugliest one in school.

"Nah, he's just too upset because his lover left him!"

Why don't you ever let me talk?! I can handle this!

'You'll only start a fight!'

Yeah, like you're handling it right with your girly talks.

"I dunno what you're talking about." Dib ignored the voice and said ever so flatly, holding in control because he really didn't want to go to the 'crazy house for boys', not again, Illness had cost him troubles before and he won't pay for it.

The leader grabbed Dib's t-shirt by the collar all over the table, making him stare face to face with him, "don't act dumb with me, fag." The boy (which Dib assumed was named 'Liam' though everyone calls him 'DJ') hissed at him with venom dripping from his words, his honey-colored eyes glanced at Dib with all hatred.

I've never thought you would be that weak.

'I'm not!'

Then what are you waiting for? You can't even look him in the eye!

"Let me go," Dib whispered, trying to block Illness out of his mind, even though he knew his words were right, he can't even look anyone in the eyes...

"You don't order me!" Snapped Liam, he held him tighter, ready to bunch his face when the bill started, reminding students about their periods.

"Next time." Liam hissed as he let him go, pushing him away harshly, making Dib almost falling off of his seat.

"Jerk..." he murmured under his breath, gathering his strength before heading to class.

--

The day went by as usual, maybe a little odd since he couldn't stop thinking of what may happen today, maybe that weird robot was just missing with him to get his blood.

Dib shivered as he stepped out of the door to the yard, feeling the cold air on his face, he was glad he was wearing a sweater, maybe luck didn't hate him that much.

"Hey, you!"

Or maybe it does.

The doors opened behind him showing the three pairs of boys, with their leader in the middle acting all that mighty as if he's Dad owned the school, "well, well, well."

Dib didn't have time to react before he was shoved to the ground on his back, his pack was thrown somewhere near him, "still feeling lonely?" Lian mocked as he stepped closer.

Here we go again...

'I thought they left me!'

Oh, they did when I was in control, they were afraid of ME! now they think you're all venerable.

"Don't worry, I'll make you feel better." DJ said in almost a whisper, his boys walked beside him, all around Dib like tigers.

Let me do it!

'No!'

Liam was the first to kick him in the stomach, laughing like if it was a comedy show, soon the others joined him, kicking and bunching as if no one was around, ignoring the other kids stares; they, of course, won't really care if anything happened to anyone, especially if that 'anyone' was the crazy kid. Some girls whispered as they walked away to their homes or buses, and other guys would spat words then just like the girls, would leave.

They all left.

Not even bothering to call a security guard to stop the fight.

Dib hid his face with his hands, gasping for air with every hit in his body. Liam would hit as strong as he could, proving to his fellows how brave he is, "not so strong without your friend, eh?" He kicked his face, seeing it as his target, he kept kicking till he reached what he wanted when Dib removed his hands out of pain.

DJ's boots hit his jaw hard, cutting his lips. He smirked at the pathetic sight before him.

"That what you deserve!" The shorter guy (who was named Noah) shouted from behind, kicking Dib's back and neck, feeling like he was doing humanity a favor by abusing another kid.

YOU'RE A COWARD!

'Why are they doing this...?'

OMG BECAUSE THEY HATE YOU! You agreed on killing them don't you remember?! WE agreed that I won't let anyone who hurt us alive!

'I just don't understand...'

You'll never understand, you were born to let THEM understand. Let me in control Dib.

'... we don't have time for killing you know...? M- maybe we should just beat them and- ... run...'

whatever!

'Fine...'

"Are you going to cry??" Liam laughed as loud as he could, making his point clear, "are you going to tell your boyfriend?"

They all laughed.

they won't stop laughing.

Dib's eyes shot open as he jerked his bruised body, surprising them all with the sudden move, he used his legs to spin himself before kicking DJ on his stomach- maybe a little lower- not that he's complaining.

The boy cried out, holding his belly tightly before recovering, glaring hard at Dib's face, "what are you waiting for?!" He screamed at his 'friends'.

They both came for the rescue, gritting their teeth as they stepped closer, ready to hold him in place.

'Fuck that hurts...'

We need to get out.

Dib tried all his body strength mixed with hatred, groaning like an angry animal, "I SAID TO LEAVE ME ALONE!" He yelled, making them all flinch.

"Shit- that's the 'craziness' I've heard Sarah talk about, I thought she was lying!" Said the boy with red curly hair, James, hesitating for a moment before jumping on Dib's way, bunching him in the face. Dib almost fell but grabbed the boy's shirt, dragging him underneath his body, his head fell right on the ground, making a horrible sound.

"James!" Noah screamed for his friend, running towards them.

'Run!'

Dib span, putting a foot in front of the boy's legs, tripping him. He breathed heavily, watching the two as they hissed and tried to stand again, deciding he saw enough, he ran as fast as he could, hearing the leader's cures after him.

We ALWAYS run! Can't we fight and WIN for once??

'We will!... it's just not the time'

When's the time, huh?!

'When Zim help's us! We can't hide a dead body!'

Aghhh!... sure whatever... maybe you're right,

'Let's go to Zim's'

Yeah, I truly don't have time for brother-sister time...

XXX

He read the paper for what felt like the millionth time, hoping he won't screw up everything, it's his chance, the last step of his chance.

Knocking the door three times, he waited while sucking the blood from his lips, holding his torso tightly, his's head was killing him!

'Maybe I should've cleaned up before coming here...'

"Hellooooo!" The small robot's voice broke him out of his thoughts, adorably glaring at him, "I missed youuu!" Gir ran to his leg and held it, nuzzling his face in the fabric of his jeans,

Dib sighed and leaned to hold the robot in his arms, "I missed you too," he murmured, the inner self of his was just too desperate for attention even from a robot,

'Well, the robot isn't a bad company...'

"Masttah is down the lab doing a horrible experiment!"

"Oh? Can you call him?"

"Hmmmmmm, okay! No wait-... no I can't," Gir shrugged.

"Why not?" Dib asked in a slight disappointment.

"He's busy! Maybe YOU should go help him!"

Dib thought a little about it, he didn't want to interrupt and be killed, but then, he wouldn't mind see this whole 'experiment'. "Alright, show me the way,"

"YAY!" Gir jumped away from his chest to the ground, making his way to the kitchen with the human following.

--

After the elevator dropped them, they had to walk through all the hallways to what Gir said was 'the examination lab'

That's going to be fun,

"Here we ARE!" Gir yelled happily, standing before a door, "shhh, I'll go first to tell him! You wait here!" He giggled before running inside, leaving Dib staring blankly Behind him.

After a minute, the small robot came back with some... 'ink?' in his hands, "he said you can coming!" Git yelled as he ran out, not waiting for anything or anyone, hearing 'PIGGIES' echoes through the dark lab before everything became quiet again, taking a deep breath, running the words in his head again, he stepped in.

The examination lab was slightly different, tubes hanging from the wall, some had weird creatures in them, and others had Earthlings animals.

"Zim?" He asked a little too low, hearing his voice almost echoing through the room, he kept walking till he saw a table with a man on it, a security guard if not a cop.

Walking slowly to him, he gazed at the face of a tired guard in his late thirties, his eyes were closed as if he was dead before they snapped open, making Dib gasp, "help me! Th- there's an alien here, please!" The man pleaded, Dib could see horror in his eyes for whatever 'alien' he saw.

"Hello, Diblet!" Zim cheered from behind Dib's ear, making the boy gasp again and take a step back, "you came just in time for my experiment!"

Dib was about to say something when the guard starts yelling, "don't let him fool you! I saw him, he's not human, he's an alien, AN ALIEN, I swear I'm not crazy! He had g- green skin a- and red HORRIFYING eyes!"

Zim hissed, raising an eyebrow at him before smirking again, "maybe you ARE crazy, I'm not an alien, c'mon," he teased, leaning closer to Dib.

"H- he- he's LYING! You stupid kid do something!"

Zim bit his lips, glancing from the guard to his human, holding his laugh, "why are you asking his help?"

The man stopped for a second before snapping again, "please kid, help me!" He looked at Dib from the corner of his eye.

Dib glanced at him, taking a slow half-step back, shaking his head.

"W- what...?" The guard whispered, "what are you waiting for!?"

"I'm not going to help you." Dib said flatly, finally stopping still in his feet, letting Zim lean closer to him, "I'm with him."

The man's brown eyes shot wide with fear then disgust, "YOU TRAITOR! You can't be with the enemy! He's going to kill us all-"

Before his words were spoken, Zim's PAK leg stabbed his chest with all force, he leaned down till he was face to face with the security guard, narrowing his eyes dangerously, "don't you EVER accuse my human with your FILTHY words!" Gritting his teeth harshly, he stabbed him deeper, enjoying the man's gasping for air, "I'll make sure nobody even DARE to look at him the wrong way." Zim whispered harshly against the other's ear, seeing the man's eyes as they rolled into his head before retracting his PAK leg, standing away from the now dead man, his fail experiment.

Zim wept some blood off of his face as he looked back at Dib who was watching him with a blank face, "Dib," Zim broke the boy out of his fantasy world, making him blink multiple times before his eyes finally focused on the alien. The irken for a moment was out of words before something popped in his head, "did you think of a way?" He smiled, holding the boy by the shoulders, not yet noticing the blood on his lips.

Dib swallowed before nodding slowly, he took a step back, leaned down, and start taking his boots off, knowing how the alien liked being taller. After that, he looked Zim in the eyes, sighed, then bowed, praying to God he remembered the words correctly,

"My name, my fate, my soul are all under your feet... my body, my mind, my thoughts are all under your control... my home, my land, my comfort are all under you mercy..." he swallowed again, gazing at the floor as he bowed, "my duty is to always obey you. I surrender all I am to you and only you. I surrender all I have and will ever have to you and only you." He took a deep breath, feeling everyone's eyes at him even though it was only him and Zim in the room,

"I'm fully yours... Master." He said it, finally said it and he was sure he said it right. Dib didn't even dare to take his eyes off of the floor, instead he closed them, breathing slowly, waiting.

It felt like forever, time was teasing him, sweat ran on his bruised torso.

"Say it again." Came Zim's voice, demanding him in a low tone, "the last part, say it again."

Dib glanced slowly upwards to his new 'Master' taking in his blank expressions,

'At less, he doesn't look angry...'

"I- I'm fully yours, Master." He looked at him, locking their eyes.

"Again."

Dib blinked, "I'm fully yours, Master."

Zim stepped closer, still no readable expression on his face, "Again."

What's the meaning of this?

'Oh...'

What?

'He wants me to say it with confidence...'

If that's so then I won't interrupt.

'No, we both need to say it.'

I don't think that's-

'Illness... we have too.'

...

'Come on!'

I'm fully...-

'-Yours...-'

"-Master." Both said it with all their means; even to Dib's ears, the way he said it felt so right, as if he was saying it all his life, like if it wasn't odd at all, no, he felt like he belonged.

A slow smile crossed the irken's lips, blankness was replaced with... happiness? Maybe more like satisfaction. He cupped the human's face with both hands, smiling sweetly at him, "that wasn't too hard now was it?" It didn't sound like a question but a fact. "How sweet my Diblet you're finally mine, we could have fun, you're finally in warm arms instead of those humans!"

Dib blushed slightly, feeling a sad smile sneak to his face,

warm arms huh? When was the last time you felt that? Did you feel that at all?

'not after I was three...'

"Is that blood? Oh, it is blood." Zim suddenly said, touching the end of Dib's lips, making him flinch slightly, "how did that happen?"

"O- oh, um... some kids in school picked a fight with me..." he said, looking around the lab instead of Zim's face.

The irken seemed quiet for a second, as if he was considering things, then he leaned away, "they're gonna pay." He hissed in a low whisper, gazing at the dead man, then back at Dib, his hands brushed at the boy's chest down to his stomach, hearing his hiss in pain, Zim grabbed the sweater tightly with his hand, feeling anger all over his body, he squeezed his eyes shut, trying to hold himself, "they're gonna pay..." Zim repeated in the same tone, not meeting the human's face. His other hand into a tight fist, body arching back like an angry cat-

"Zim...?" Dib was the one to break him out of his thoughts, the irken gazed back at him, seeing a worried Dib before him, his anger slightly calmed, a small smile came to his face, but it looked evil, screaming: I have an evil idea!

"Let's go, we have a mission! I need a new test subject," Zim cheered, grabbing his hand, "then I would fix you up!"

The irken typed something fast on his computer, then led him again to the main floor.

XXX

they both got out, Dib walking behind Zim as he wondered who's the unlucky human that would end up as Zim's new experiment.

"Eh, Computer, is that the place?"

"THIS IS THE 'HOME' OF THE HUMAN CALLED: LIAM ANDREW, 18 YEARS OLD, LIVES WITH THREE SISTER UNITS, A FATHER UNIT AND A MOTHER UNIT."

"Neat," Zim smiled, walking with confidence to the door.

"H- how did you know it was-?"

"I know a lot of things, Dib." He smirked, "I also heard him talk about you."

"Oh..."

Zim knocked on the door then stepped back, waiting for someone to open it. After a minute, a brown-haired woman which they assumed was the mother, opened the door, "can I help you?"

Zim's eyes shined, making the mom gaze at him blankly, "we're his friends, James and Noah," he pointed at Dib and himself, smiling at her,

"Oh! Hello there boys! You want to come in, or should I call him for you?" She asked, opening the door wider.

"Just tell him we're waiting outside." Zim's smile melted with annoyance.

She nodded then headed back inside, they heard her yell something, then she received a yell back. After another boring waiting, Liam came downstairs, not looking at them as he closed the door, "man, my mom's so annoyiNAAAGHh!" He yelled in surprise when his gaze met Zim's, already feeling horror sneak to his insides.

"Hello." Zim said with a smirk, "Gir, knock him out."

"OKAY!" Gir, who was holding a heavy piece of metal, ran to him, smacking the back of his head harshly, the boy fell on his face, "dawww, he's sleepin like a pig!"

"Good job, Gir, now fly this dirt-beast back to the base and put him inside a tube till I arrive." Zim patted his robot's head, smiling at him. Gir returned the smile before holding the human by the shoulders and flying him away in the air.

Zim held Dib by the wrist, leaning at him, nuzzling his cheek with the boy's shoulders. Dib's face heated up, he wanted to say something but was cut off by his scream as he was lifted up, looking down, he saw the same metallic legs holding them both in the air as it climbed the building. Dib looked down then back at the sky, it was afternoon, the sky was almost orange with a hint of blue, it looked beautiful, he would miss that if Earth was destroyed...

"I think it's pretty, your planet has beautiful places but you humans ruined it, they ruin everything pretty, including you." Zim said all of the sudden, looking at the sun as his spider-like legs ran them back home.

Dib glanced at him, his cheeks heated up even more at the compliment, smiling sadly, then chuckled, "thanks,"

"I'm just saying the obvious." Zim replied flatly.

"I'd have said the same if I knew how you look like," Dib murmured, studying the alien's face, seeing how the orange light reflected on his pale face,

'Green, that man said his skin was green'

He also said he has red eyes,

'He have antennae, too'

I'm having a mental image of him,

'I want to see...'

"Soon my Diblet, soon."

XXX

Zim sighed, glancing at the boy inside of the tube, "how funny," he said, smirking at Liam as he kicked on the glass, think he may have a chance breaking free.

Dib walked beside him, bare feet, staring at his bully, he couldn't help the smile that came to his face at the sight,

He deserves it.

'Indeed.'

When Liam saw Dib, he went from slightly shocked to angry again, not realizing he was in an alien base, how blind could humans be was beyond Zim's understanding.

"Can he hear us?" Dib asked, studying the green goo in the tube, wondering how it felt to breathe the liquid.

"No." Zim replied, "I can unmute it, why? Wanna say something to him?"

"No, just asking," he said, then glanced back, Liam's hands were pressed at the glass, staring hard at them.

"Come, let's fix your wounds."

He held his hand, dragging Dib behind him,

'Let's hope he doesn't mention my height again...'

XXX

"Take off your sweater," Zim demanded, he came back with multiple bandages in his hands, some strange liquid Dib assumed was the same he used before to treat his wounds. Dib took his black sweater off slowly, hissing at his injured torso and shoulders, all forgetting about the choker's scar.

Zim's eyes grew wide as he gazed down at him, he blinked before tracing his finger on the boy's neck down to his chest, seeing the deep black spiderweb-like scar on the pale's skin of the boy, he knew immediately it was because if the chocker, the scar was deeply burned in his flesh, he could feel whatever hell the human went through- HIS human.

Dib noticed, he looked away before speaking, "In the mental hospital, patients get treated with electricity to their brain, thinking that would treat their 'craziness'." He paused to look down at his own chest, the purplish bruises, the black scar, and healed cuts, all just a proof of how miserable his life is, "we're not allowed to wear metal, but since the chocker is attached to my ski-"

Zim held his finger at Dib's lips, demanding him to be quiet, he studied the scar carefully before speaking, "I don't need to know that because I know you're not crazy." He looked back up, "whatever is making you see stupid things could be fixed easily by me," he tapped the boy's head as if pinpointing his words, "you'll be like new!" At the sudden smile, his finger wept the dried blood off of the human's lips before he leaned back and took some liquids in his hands, opened them, then with a small cotton he put some on it, making sure it won't touch his hand before putting it on the boy's lips, hearing him hiss slightly but that didn't stop the human from smiling.

Dib couldn't help himself but chuckle, his cheeks flushed slightly with a pink color.

It was a smile, then a chuckle almost a giggle; then laughter.

Zim stopped to glance at the laughing human, wondering what's so funny, but before he could ask, he heard the laughter become a little forced before it turned into sobbing, tears came down Dib's cheeks, his smile melted on the edges as he closed his eyes.

He Sniffed as he rubbed his face, thinking how odd that was, "s- sorry, it's just weird for someone to care for me..." Dib looked at him with his smile, shining amber eyes met with purple one's, "thank you,"

"You thank me a lot, Diblet." Zim sighed as he continued to clean up the boy's lips, when he finished, he leaned away dramatically, letting out a long sigh, "you're sooo broken!" Rolling his eyes, he looked back at Dib, "didn't I say I hated seeing my pets crying, Gir's enough."

Dib laughed, this time sounding more alive, "I can't help it," his smile came back.

Zim huffed before smiling again, "let's fix your human chest!"

XXX

after half an hour of putting healing liquid and bandages, Dib was covered almost like a mummy, which left Zim to be the one laughing this time, Dib didn't mind his laughter, he even found he wanted to hear more of it.

"When are you gonna show yourself?" Dib asked, all excitement showing on his face and voice, amber eyes shining with curiosity.

"Calm down, Diblet." Zim huffed, slightly tired of all his laughs, "heh, let's see if you're gonna jump with fear," Zim smirked, playing with the human's hair as they sat on the examination table.

"Why would I be afraid?" Dib asked, his smile never left his face.

Zim for a second seemed all that dark if not upset before all of the sudden he smiled again and shrugged.

"C'mon show me!" Dib pressed on, his smile became bigger, not really paying attention to the change of mood of the irken.

"Okay, fiiiiine!" Zim chuckled, rolling his eyes, he closed them and took a breath, searching in his PAK for the activating button, when he found it, he mentally pressed, feeling some electricity as it runs through his body.

Zim's image started to blur, pale skin was mixed with green, his hair disappeared revealing antennae, the nose and ears vanished with the blurred hologram, after a second, Zim's human form was replaced by a pale green-skinned alien.

His sweater was now a dress-looking uniform that hanged almost to Zim's knees with a cut on either side, a weird looking device on his chest with the same odd symbol, two wires attached to it that went behind the irken to another round-looking device, the one he assumed those metallic legs came from.

His eyes traveled to the 'antennae', seeing how tall they were, reaching Zim's shoulders, the left one though looked almost broken on its base, another metallic device attached to his head, almost like a part of his skin, a thin wire came out of it and attached to the broken antenna. They moved like a blink of an eye.

"And that's the real Zim!" The irken cheered happily, finally opening his ruby eyes to glance at the human's reaction.

Dib blinked, his attention was drawn away from the antennae to the pupilless magenta eyes, he found wonder, space, and mystery in them, he saw someone fearless, strong, and... insane... Zim's eyes were shining, reflecting every light around them, he felt like they were looking into his deep soul, can know everything he thinks of, can detect every lie. Those eyes were his death.

"Diblet?"

Dib blinked out of his world but didn't look away, he closed his mouth that now he knew was hanging open, then he whispered: "you look tired..." Dib pointed out, gazing at the dark circles under the big eyes of the alien.

"Eh? Why would I look tired?" Zim asked, shrugging with a forced smirk, then he noticed where the human was looking, "you don't even know what an irken look like to say I look tired."

Dib took a breath, he closed his eyes then opened them slowly to look at the irken before he smiled, not swallowing what Zim said but decided to shrug it off, for now. "You look beautiful," Dib admitted, giggling, his cheeks darkened with a red color as his smile grew wider.

Zim narrowed one eye as he felt a pinkish blush form on his face, he leaned close till he was inches away from the human, "say it again," he demanded, apparently liking to be complemented.

Dib realized this, he narrowed his eyes, the smile turned into a smirk, "You're beautiful, intelligent, and strong," he watched the alien as his cheeks became that much pinkish, his eyes lightened with every word Dib said, "You're powerful, successful, amazing, and taller than me," he laughed at the last part, remembering his tossed boots.

Zim cupped Dib's face with both of his gloved hands, "continue."

Dib thought for a second, but it didn't take him long to find something he admired in the irken, "You're fair... open-minded... you're someone who believes in me..." Dib drifted off in his mind, "you don't treat me like others, you listen, and... y- you-..." he sighed before smiling sadly, looking back at Zim, "I think you're perfect."

Zim was blank for a moment, just staring down at the human with his broken glasses, he shoved them atop the boy's head as he leaned closer, titling his head slowly before kissing the boy's abused lips, it was a soft kiss, he felt Dib react to it immediately, smirking into the kiss as he pressed harder.

The human felt lightheaded, he saw some white dots in his vision of view, those lips that smacked into his slowly- almost lovingly, he couldn't help the butterflies that danced in his stomach- making him smile. Sliding his eyes shot, titling his head the opposite direction of Zim, feeling the alien kiss becomes deeper. Sweetness, there was a sweet sugar taste in Zim, it melted on his lips making his mouth water, hands shyly holding onto the table edge, a slight desperation to bite crossed his mind.

How should I endure this??

'...Can I enjoy my moments?'

Part away!

'...'

Before Dib could stop, Zim leaned away first to his luck, taking all his sweet smell and taste away, Dib's glasses fell back at his face, he had to blink to get his clouded brain to work again, Zim smiled darkly at him, "you taste like medicine!" He teased, ruby eyes narrowed, "time to see my experiment!" Zim cheered as he stood up from the table, feeling free without his disguise, "come help me, Diblet, I'm sure you'll like the show!"

'If I taste like medicine, then you taste like sweets-'

Dib took deep breaths trying to calm his racing heart, his face was flushed red, he watched the alien leave, staring at his weird clothes. Red-looking dress that he was sure was never a dress, it was tight enough for Dib to realize how thin the other was, almost having a feminine body. And there was that pack metallic device, he wanted to know what else it could do.

Agh, Finally!

'I can't understand you.'

You're disgusting.

Dib sighed and stood up as well, following his new Master to help with whatever he needed, damnit, he was just in a good mood minutes ago! Can't he have some peaceful time? Right, he wasn't lucky enough now was he? Never. Rubbing his hands on the bandages, he felt like getting sick, not sure if the voice was the reason or the whole kiss thing.

'I don't feel good...'

Where's my shirt?

Dib looked around, finding his black sweater, he gazed at it for a second but decided to just leave it, he was already covered in bandages anyway.

'He looked tired...'

When are we gonna kill?

'He looked so tired...'


END OF CHAPTER EIGHT!

You can see how Zim looks like from the cover btw!

AF: woohoo! A long chapter, yes! We were a little slow in this story because it felt a little boring for some reason, but nope- we have some insane ideas that need to be written down!

Mary: being who I am and write a kiss scene was odd, I love their relationship it's just- ME! The one that is asexual writing thisss! Wow, I AM weird eh?

Let me know how do you think about this? Did I write it well? Please review 3

This was alien freak, signing off.
