A/N: Alright. So I have a small announcement to be made before I get around to posting up this next chapter. For those of you interested in reading this story over on DA, the account to look it up under is Dib-The-Hybrid. NO, the DA version is NOT ahead of the FF version. HOWEVER, due to my fear of FF deleting this story because of its sexual content, you should all know that DA is your best option at the moment for finding the more adult versions of these chapters. Of course, the majority of these chapters are PG-13. However, on occasion, I'll post up altered chapters that are NOT PG-13. As things stand now, this next chapter is the PG-13 version. If you want to read the adult, M-rated version of Chapter 58, you'll have to look up the DA version. It's not a full on sex scene in this chapter, but there IS enough sexual content in it for me to fear FF deleting the story. And, as always, I refuse to take that risk.
ZADR Orange Chapter 58 (PG-13 Version)
Warnings: Extreme OOCness
Rating: M
Disclaimer: We do not own Invader Zim, nor any of the characters from it. We do not make any money from the writing of this story.
Zim: Notgonnadie
Dib: Me
To say the very least, Dib wasn't very happy with Zim's words. "No! No, really, Zim! Please. Continue eating. For all I know, I may not feel like eating again until late at night when you're asleep. I don't want you waiting that long just to get out of bed so late to eat with me. I'd rather you ate now until you're full. That way you're not having to eat on my schedule." he urged the Irken to continue eating without him.
But Zim could only shake his head. "I'm fine, Dib. I don't need to eat that much." he smiled more convincingly at the hybrid.
Dib sighed again. "Okay...But if you get hungry, a-and don't feel like waiting for me to get hungry, promise me you'll eat." he wanted to know that he wouldn't be the cause of Zim starving himself again.
"I promise, Dib." Zim smiled, wrapping an arm around him, his smile faltering though as he had a feeling they had forgotten something, though he couldn't remember what.
"Good." Dib leaned up against him, nuzzling into him affectionately and yawning.
Zim smiled. "Ready to sleep in a real bed again?" he asked, knowing Dib had spent around the last two and a half weeks sleeping on a couch.
Peeking up at Zim with a smile on his face, Dib nodded his head. "Just so long as you keep your clothes on this time...I don't need anymore surprises to deal with in the morning..." he teased the other, yawning again. "...I think I'll take a warm bath in the morning..." he then murmured, no longer speaking to Zim but to himself.
Wrapping an arm around Dib, Zim laughed as he walked into the elevator with him. "I promise." he said, agreeing to keep his clothes on while they slept.
"Gooood..." Dib slurred, sleepily supporting himself against Zim as the other walked him over to the bed to lay down on.
Laying down next to Dib, Zim then pulled the covers up over the two of them. "Good night, Dib." his voice came out soft as he wished the boy sweet dreams.
"Mmmmm...Nighty night...Zim..." Dib responded back, by now already more than halfway asleep, curling up underneath the covers with Zim. Antennae twitching slightly, they soon fell back to rest comfortably against his head as he drowned in a sea of warmth all around him.
Cuddling up to Dib, Zim smiled before slowly beginning to doze off himself.
It wasn't until the next morning that Dib slowly began to wake up on his own for once, no nightmares, conversations, or sweet kisses doing the job for him. "Mmm...Wh-Where...?" he began to question himself about where he was but stopped, remembering that he was no longer at Jack and Rose's house."O-Oh yeah..." he slowly sat himself up to have a look around the dark room, no windows there to spill in light and give him an idea of what time it was.
Still asleep, Zim mumbled before wriggling closer to Dib now that he had sat up.
"Hmm?" Dib felt the movement next to him and looked down at Zim. Sighing, he smiled down at the other before leaning in to place a small kiss on his head. "Don't mind me..." he said in a whisper, pulling up a pillow to place near Zim so the other wouldn't realize he had left. Then, standing up, he proceeded to head for the bathroom so he could take that warm bath he had been talking about the previous night before falling asleep.
Not noticing that Dib had left, Zim smiled in his sleep, cuddling up to the pillow Dib had left next to him.
"Well, look who came back."
Having totally forgotten about Zim's computer, Dib jumped a bit at the voice. "D-Do you have a problem with that?" he glared up at the ceiling, their last encounter not having been the best.
Acting like it was about to say something, the computer rather shrugged it off. "Whatever...Who cares..." it said in its usual bored voice, not even bothering to say anymore to Dib so early in the morning.
Not having been expecting that response, Dib blinked confusedly up at the computer. "Errr...Okay then..." he continued making his way to the bathroom, closing the door behind him before stripping down and taking a seat at the edge of the tub to start himself a bath. As he waited for the tub to fill, he then made his way over to a full body-length mirror that was in the room and gave himself a good look over, running his hands over his slightly extended belly.
Meanwhile, walking towards the bathroom, Gir giggled as he dragged his pig along. "I make you all shiny, clean, piggy." he said as he passed through Zim's bedroom.
Not hearing Gir coming as he turned this way and that, Dib tried to imagine what he'd look like when he gained that extra 18 pounds. Tilting his head to one side, he looked down again, remembering what Zim had told him about giving birth to them. The Irken had told him there was a slit between his legs, but he had been too shy to try and find it himself when he had been over at Rose and Jack's place.
Meanwhile, back out in the bedroom, Zim cracked his eyes open upon hearing Gir enter the room. "Gir, what are you doing?" he asked, almost suspiciously.
"Oh, hi, Master. I was just gonna give piggy a bath."
Zim growled. "Not in MY bathroom, you're not! Use the main one if you have to!" he ordered, pointing out the door.
Gir's little antenna drooped. "Oh-kayy..." he walked back out of the room, still dragging the pig with him.
Rubbing the sleep out of his eyes, Zim sighed before looking up to see Dib was missing. "Dib?" he called out the other's name in the empty room, looking around confused. "Where could he be?" he asked himself before sighing again and getting out of bed to go looking for said hybrid, deciding to check the bathroom first.
Zim knocked on the door gently. "Dib? Can I come in?" he asked from his spot outside the door.
Jumping at the knock on the door, Dib scrambled to wrap the towel around himself. "U-Ummm! J-Just a second! Don't come in!" he answered back before finally managing to tie the towel around himself. "O-Okay...You can come in now..." he gave Zim the okay to come in, blushing as he held the towel tightly to himself.
Opening the door a second time, Zim eyed the towel as he walked in. "What's with the towel?" he asked, not realizing at first how shy Dib was about being naked in front of him.
"N-Nothing! I mean...I-I was just getting ready to take a bath...I-Is that alright?" Dib asked, unable to meet Zim's gaze as his blush deepened, squeezing his legs together tightly. "U-Umm...Wh-When did you get up?" he then asked as he imagined he would have heard the other coming.
Knowing why Dib must be embarrassed, Zim looked away. "Yeah, it's okay...I just woke up...And I didn't see you. So I was worried..." he explained, not exactly answering Dib's question.
"O-Oh...W-Well, you didn't have to worry...I-I said I was going to take a bath when I woke up."
Zim laughed uneasily. "Sorry. I must have forgotten...Umm, I-I'll just go. You can finish your bath now..." he said, getting up to leave and allow Dib some privacy.
Cheeks tinted a light pink now, Dib finally lifted his gaze up to look at Zim. "A-Alright...Thank you...I-I think that would be best..." he said, waiting for Zim to leave the room completely before sighing and dropping the towel back down to the floor so he could step into the tub and sink into the warmth of the water, scrubbing himself thoroughly.
Heading back to the elevator, Zim then made his way back upstairs to make breakfast, or, in this case, heat up dinner FOR breakfast.
