Thanks to Izzy

Chuckie X Dil

All Grown Up Takes place during that whole Izzy episode- an alternate ending.

Then Dil was invited onto the podium. He walked up, fully intending to deliver his speech about how great a friend Izzy was and ignoring what Tommy said. Even if Chuckie hadn't run over him on purpose, he had hurt Dil and that was good enough reason for Dil to hurt him back.

Then he reached the podium. He started on his speech, looking over the students all here for Izzy and trailed off. There, in a corner in the back, was Chuckie. Only it wasn't the Chuckie he was used to seeing- this Chuckie was sitting with his knees hugged to his chest and tears in his eyes. This Chuckie was regretful and scared and no matter how righteous Dil's anger was, he couldn't hurt his friend

And so he gave a different speech and made a different path for Izzy. When the memorial was finished Chuckie came over to him to… do what Dil wasn't sure. But none of their explanations or excuses were as important as Dil's- "Izzy made it through."

Chuckie gave a gasp of shock. "Really? Is he okay? I can't believe I just asked that…"

Dil smile because no matter what, Chuckie would always be Chuckie. "Yeah, he's going to be alright."

The redhead grinned. "That's great!" at really, it was only an emotional reaction, but Chuckie reached out and pulled Dil into a hug. Dil blushed, not only because he was embarrassed but because he knew that Izzy was out in the audience laughing at him.

That's why he had created Izzy, the amazing imaginary alien friend in the first place, because of feelings like the one he got when Chuckie hugged him. Izzy was someone who listened while he spilled his heart out about his big brother's best friend and he was someone who always knew what the right thing to do was in any situation.

So Dil wasn't surprised by the sound of the auditorium door closing one microbe. He just blushed some more and tightened his hold on Chuckie, sending a silent thanks out to smart imaginary aliens.

"Uh…Dil? You can let go now." Chuckie gave a nervous laugh as Dil let go of him.

"Hey, you don't mind if I kiss you do you?" he asked a lot more boldly than he felt.

Chuckie's eyes went almost comically wide. "Wha… what?"

Dil grinned. It wasn't, after all, a no. "Good." And he brought his lips to Chuckie's in a chaste kiss.

Chuckie blinked. "Umm… okay?"

Dil laughed. "Chuckie, my man, I have no idea what you're talking about."

This time he blushed and looked away. "Well, you asked…"

"Oh!" So Dil brought the taller boy into another, this time not so innocent kiss.

And when Chuckie responded, Dil smiled into the kiss and thanked Izzy. Because, you know, kissing Chuckie was an opportunity that would not have arisen with out an imaginary alien friend there to lend a hand.

A/N: This is what I get for watching All Grown Up... I don't really like this but oh my goodness, there are no Chuckie/Dil fics at all that I could find not even friend ones, how wierd is that?
