Dib dropped the knife behind the bed in shock. Zim was rubbing Dib's chest, and laughing!

"Z-Zim?" He pushed Zim's hands away and tried to stand up, only to be pulled back in. "What the heck are you – are you high?"

"I don't know why I'm doing this," Zim confessed, caressing the confused boy he now held in his arms. "The same thing happened a few days ago with a squirrel I found."

At first Dib thought his enemy was just playing up his human libido to avoid being stabbed, but then he remembered the squirrel he resurrected a few days ago. When he entered the room, Zim was holding the flower that was brought back to life. And Dib himself had been revived only 12 hours ago… could that resurrecting serum have a side effect that worked like – Irken catnip?

"It's not my fault," Zim continued as Dib got up and backed away. "I've never felt this way around you before. This is YOUR doing!"

"MY doing? You killed me!"

"I didn't even KNOW you were dead until I heard in on the TV!"

Dib blinked. "I was on TV?"

"No, but they mentioned you falling off the edge." Zim glared at Dib suspiciously. "Wait a minute…If you WERE dead, how did you come back to life?"

Dib froze. He didn't dare tell his nemesis about the serum.

"ANSWER ME, HUMAN!"

Dib sighed. He had to kill Zim – glory or no glory. He had to get rid of the alien, and he had to do it at that very moment – Zim knew far too much, and he was more dangerous than ever. Dib scanned his room for something sharp or heavy, but there was nothing within his reach. Nothing that could destroy Zim…but wait! He DID have something – saliva! Saliva was made out of water, right? And if Zim got close enough to Dib, he would get grabby…

"I said, ANSWER ZIM!" The green boy backed Dib up against the closed door. Sure enough, the moment he got close, he got all giggly. "Heehee, you smell nice, Dib-worm!"

It was now or never. "Hey Zim," Dib said to the intoxicated alien pawing at his torso, "Close your eyes for a minute."

"Eeheeheehee…" Zim closed his eyes.

All of a sudden, Dib turned around and pinned Zim to the door, pressing his lips to Zim's like there was no tomorrow. His tongue found its way into his enemy's mouth as his body pressed up against that of the green boy, who was not dying but rather enjoying this newfound experience. Zim mimicked every move the human boy made – when Dib wrapped his arms around Zim and pulled him closer, Zim did the same to Dib, but he had to prop one foot against the door for balance.

What started out as an assassination strategy for Dib had evolved into one of the most exciting moments of his life. However, fearing he would choke from the lack of air, Dib gently broke the kiss and let go of Zim. Zim finally opened his eyes, only to slump back against the door in pure ecstasy.

End of part seven

Unlike most of my other ZADR fanfics, this one does not end at the seventh chapter. There is still plenty more to come, so don't worry!
