Author Notes: I don't own Invader Zim, or its Characters. Though I'm good at drawing Jhonen Vasquez! Muahahaha!!!
Maran Zelde: ........I have nothing more to say. I have done what you asked and made Zim's height to your approval. That will be the only change.
CH 4 – A Walk in the Halls (Bruised)
"S...soft....wa...warm....round..."
Zim repeated the words dazedly, and stared at his shaking hand. He continued walking down the steps past all the other soldiers and played the scene over in his mind.
- 10 Minutes Ago -
"Uhh..soft.." Zim muttered and felt Gaz's chest even more to be sure of it.
Gaz on the other hand quickly pushed him off and grabbed herself, violated. She began babbling incoherently and tried to throw Zim off her back.
"I uh... SOMETHING HAPPENED IN TRAINING AND MY...CHEST IT'S BRUISED!" she turned around and held herself again, "Oww....just a bruise that's all!"
Zim tilted his head to one side, unconvinced. As he gazed at his roommate, Gaz turned and stared at him angrily.
"Ge....GET OUT! I need to get dressed!" she screamed and pushed him out the door, then locked it securely.
- End of Flashback -
"Why am feeling so hot in the face?" he touched his cheek, and he knew he was blushing. He couldn't understand why his heart was pounding furiously and why in the world he was so nervous.
Maybe his chest really is bruised he thought, hoping his assumptions were correct. Or maybe not...maybe he's a she... maybe he's a girl...OR HE HAD SOME BREAST TRANSPLANT!
He ran in the halls screaming his head off and running into everyone. The thought of a male with boobs was just too much for the guy. He bumped into Zeke and bowed his head apologetically.
"Hey think nothing of it Zim." Zeke smiled, he was wrapped in a towel around his waist. Zim looked and guessed he was on his way to the showers.
"You look like you've done something bad Zim. Why are you out of breath?" Zeke looked at him questioningly and saw Zim was staring at his chest. "I know I have a great body Zim but..."
He was cut short when Zim reached out his hand and grasped him. Zim presumably began to squeeze slightly.
They were like this! Squishy! But..but bigger and rounder and... he kept touching Zeke until he felt a swift blow to his head.
"WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU! VIOLATING MY PERSONAL SPACE! WHAT'S YOUR SUDDEN URGE FOR MAN BOOBS!?" Zeke was slightly red from embarrassment. Zim just bowed again.
"Apologies Zeke I um... sorta have things on my mind..."
Zeke grunted and walked away, "Don't let me catch you feeling up on any man boobs Zim..."
Zim nodded and continued his venture through the building.
Meanwhile back in the room Gaz was getting dressed rather slowly, thinking about what had just happened.
"I can't believe he touched me..." she looked at the bag on the floor. "It's your fault, you made him trip and fall on me and..." she stopped and shook her head smiling. "All in all I thought it was a hoot."
She thought about the expression on Zim's faced and laughed.
"He looked so confused and scared I bet he's walking around the academy talking about it..." her eyes grew wide. "OH NO! IF HE TELLS ANYONE THEN I'M SCREWED OVER!" she slid her boots on and made a mad dash out the door to find Zim.
Zim traveled outside the walls, unconscious of where he was heading. He ran into someone and looked up, then saluted quickly and tried to regain his composer.
"Uh Almighty Tallest Red! What brings you to the Academy?" Zim asked with slight astonishment in his voice.
Red blinked and replied, "Just making sure everything is going smoothly here. Everything IS going smoothly right Zim?"
Zim bowed his head
"As smooth as I ...the day I was released from my tube sir"
"Uhh gross...but either way keep up the good job Zim..." he floated off and left Zim to his own doings.
Zim shrugged and kept walking until he felt a hand grasp his arm and pull him into a small unnoticeable area. It was Gaz of course.
"Glitz! I um I'M SORRY FOR..." Zim was cut short as Gaz took hold of Zim's shoulders and shook him like crazy.
"You didn't tell anyone did you!?" She kept shaking him until he managed out a small "no", she sighed relieved.
"Why would I want to tell anyone? They'd start thinking I'm...both ways and not one way!" he waved his arms in the air hysterically.
Gaz looked at him straight in the eyes, "You know don't you! You know my secret!"
Zim stared at her with utmost puzzlement.
"What secret?"
"Don't play dumb Zim!" Gaz pushed him away, "You need a refresher? Here I'll give you one!" She pulled off the top of her uniform so she was in her skin, wrapped up in bandages so her chest looked like a man's.
"What are you doing put your shirt back on Glitz!" Zim felt the same heat rise in his face and his heart began to pound at an incredible pace, "What the hell I never felt this way when I see other naked guys!"
Gaz put her finger on the bandage as if she would tear them off, "Here I'll show you!" she began to pull down until Zim grabbed her hand to stop her.
"Look I don't know what your secret is but it's none of my business. So ...so put your shirt back on and let's head back. I won't freak out anymore that you have man boobs." He smiled nervously and handed her shirt back to her.
"You...you mean that Zim?" She asked while smiling.
"Yeah of course" he turned and began walking toward the building until he felt a rock hit the back of his head, "OW WHAT THE...?" he turned and saw Gaz looking at him like she was going to eat him.
"HOW DARE YOU CALL THEM "MAN" BOOBS!!!" She growled and sprinted after him, "GET BACK HERE YOU COWARD!"
"ALL I SAID WAS MAN BOOBS WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM!?" Zim screamed and ran into the building with Gaz nipping at his heels.
- Meanwhile in a Dark Place we Don't Know about Yet -
"Is everything going smoothly Red?"
Red sat next to his colleague and smiled maliciously.
"Everything is running smoothly Purple..." he motioned to the huge screen with Zim's data all over it, "...he doesn't suspect a thing. Our plan will succeed my friend...we will succeed." He chuckled slightly.
Purple grinned and arched his head back into a small laugh.
"Perfect..."
End, Reviews people!
