Back down in the bedroom, Dib, meanwhile, sank into the covers comfortably, curling in on himself to sleep.
Nuzzling Dib, Zim purred and crawled into the bed next to him. "Sleep well, Dibbers." he said in a soft voice to the hybrid.
"Mmmm...Do you think we should make a list of what we need before we leave...?" Dib asked, his eyes remaining closed all the while.
Zim nodded. "If you want...But let's do it after you rest, kay?" he said, in no particular rush to get what they needed for the smeets.
Letting out a small whine, Dib could only shift about in his sleep restlessly. "B-But we don't even know what we need to get yet..." he whined, wanting to work it out now rather than later but having some difficulty opening his eyes back up.
Zim stroked Dib's side gently. "Don't worry, Dib. We'll take care of all of it once you're done resting. That's what you should be focusing on right now, okay?" he said, not wanting Dib to push himself too much.
Continuing to shift about uncomfortably, Dib finally gave in after a while, letting sleep take hold of him.
Hearing Dib's breathing even out, Zim smiled and nuzzled closer to him. "I love you..." he whispered quietly to the other.
Shifting closer to Zim, Dib remained fast asleep, his antennae twitching against Zim's. "Mmm...Zim..." he yawned out in his sleep, soaking up what warmth he could from the other.
Nuzzling down even more into the covers, Zim then pulled the remaining blankets up over the two of them tighter for more warmth before finally letting himself slip into his own deep sleep.
Upon waking up a few hours later, Dib slowly sat up next to the apparently sleeping Zim and had a look about the dark room. He hadn't gotten as much rest as he would have liked and began shifting about restlessly again in an attempt to fall back to sleep.
Eyes opening at all the sudden movement, Zim yawned. "Awake already, Dib?" he asked in a tired voice.
Dib could only let out a small whine in response. "...I can't sleep..." he said, feeling extremely tired.
Zim looked up at him concerned. "What's wrong, Dib?" he asked, beginning to come out of his sleepy daze.
His eyes half lidded now, Dib shrugged. "...I just can't sleep..." he said, not really knowing why he couldn't.
Reaching over to rub his side, Zim sighed. "Anything I can do to help?" he asked, knowing the other hadn't been asleep for more then a few hours.
Rolling over onto his side to face Zim, Dib shrugged again. "What time is it?" he asked, feeling as though he had lost his grip on time again.
Zim yawned again. "Late." he muttered, starting to feel himself falling off to sleep again.
"Oh...Sorry..." Dib apologized for interrupting the other's sleep. "Can I just...I don't know...go upstairs and watch TV or something until I feel like sleeping again? You don't have to come up with me...But I just feel like I can't fall back to sleep down here..." he said, stretching a bit.
Stretching himself, Zim shook his head. "No, no. It's okay. I'll come up with you. I need to move around some anyways." he said, scooting over towards the edge of the bed.
"Are you sure? You look pretty tired..." Dib said, not wanting the other to lose sleep over him.
"Yeah, yeah. It's fine." Zim said, sitting up and swinging his legs out of bed. "Let's go." he gestured for Dib to follow him.
Antennae perking before wilting, Dib pushed himself up out of bed to follow the other. "...I'm sorry..." he apologized again, feeling bad that he had woken Zim up in the first place.
Zim yawned. "It's okay, Dib. Like I said, I need to move around a little myself." he said, heading for the elevator.
Not so sure he believed the Irken, Dib sighed but decided not to say anything more about it as he followed Zim to the elevator. Upon entering the elevator, he then pressed his back to one of the walls and watched as Zim seemed to pace a bit, stretching himself out and slowly waking up more.
Pushing on his back, Zim leaned backwards and listened to the loud cracking noise as he popped it.
Flinching slightly at the sound, Dib shuddered as they waited for the elevator to reach the house level of the base.
Eyeing him curiously, Zim leaned back next to Dib. "Are you sure you're okay?" he asked, feeling as though Dib weren't telling him something.
"I-I don't know, I just... don't know..." Dib admitted, his eyes falling half lidded again as he slumped back against the wall of the elevator. "I feel...off for some reason...I don't know why I can't sleep all of a sudden...But I just can't...M-Maybe I'm just restless, but this is the first time something like that has affected my sleep so much..." he said, honestly not knowing what was wrong with him.
Zim looked confused. "Huh..." he wrapped an arm around Dib, pulling close. "Maybe you are just restless...or maybe THEY are restless..." he said, poking at Dib's belly.
Dib yawned a bit. "Well, they have been moving around a lot lately." he said, pressing one of his hands to his side when he felt a flutter of movement inside him then a slightly harder kick.
Kissing Dib, Zim smiled before dropping his hands to his belly. "They're getting stronger, huh?" he said, feeling about for their movements.
Dib could only sigh a bit. "Who knows...But they're definitely kicking harder..." he said, flinching at another hard kick.
Leaning down, Zim kissed Dib's belly. "Maybe they want their mommy to stop moping." he joked.
Dib's antennae perked at that. "Moping? I'm not moping!" he glared slightly at Zim, antennae falling back. "And quit taking their side! They're not even out of the womb yet!" he pouted.
Zim laughed. "Dib, they're your kids too. You don't need to be jealous of them..." he said, nuzzling Dib's belly affectionately.
"Well, I know that..." Dib blushed. "And I am NOT jealous of them! You're just spoiling them..." he said, looking away.
Zim giggled. "Dib, they're not even born yet. How am I spoiling them?" he asked, poke poking at his stomach again.
"Well, you're taking their side over mine for starters...And before you know it, they'll be taking advantage of you. In fact, it already seems like they've got you wrapped around their little fingers...er...or whatever it is they have on their hands at this point in the pregnancy..."
From his crouched position, Zim looked up at Dib. "Dib..." he sighed and stood up, holding his head in his hands. "I still love you the most. They don't control me, okay? I just want to make sure you're alright. And if talking to them can calm them down enough to let you sleep, then it was worth it." he said, kissing Dib deeply.
"Mmm..." Dib's eyes snapped wide open at the sudden kiss before falling half lidded as he relaxed in the other's arms, kissing back gently."That still doesn't mean you had to call me mopey..." he panted out in a quiet voice once they had broken the kiss.
Zim snickered. "But you are mopey, Dib." he kissed him again, running a hand along one of his antennas. "Ohh so mopey." he sang out in a sing-song voice.
Flailing at the other to leave him alone now, Dib could only let out a small whine at that. "No, I'm nooot." he whined out before pouting at the other again, his antennae pressed all the way back against his head.
Wrapping his arms around Dib, Zim giggled and ground their hips together despite Dib's large belly.
His breath getting caught in the back of his throat, Dib could only gasp in response, his eyelids slipping closed. The Irken had rubbed up against a virtually bare part of his body had it not been for the bed sheet still wrapped around him. "Mmmmm...You know, the smeets are technically awake right now..." he breathed out against the other's lips as he brought at least one hand down to place upon his expanded belly.
Zim ginned. "I don't think they'll notice." he said, licking the side of Dib's face and purring.
"How can you be so sure...? They may be more observant than you think..." Dib breathed out heavily, his eyes locked on Zim's.
Zim sighed. "Dib...I'll quit bugging you if you want me to..." he said, looking away before pulling back as the elevator dinged.
Still clinging to Zim for support, Dib didn't pull away. "Do you think it would hurt them?" he asked, resting a cheek against Zim's chest comfortably.
Tilting his head to the side, Zim shook it a little. "No." he kissed Dib on the top of his head.
Letting his eyelids slip closed a second time when Zim kissed him, Dib sighed out a bit. "...Do you think it would hurt me...?" he then asked in a quiet whisper, breathing warm, moist air against the other's antennae.
Zim nuzzled him. "It didn't seem to the first time..." he answered.
Letting out a small amused laugh, Dib smirked to himself a bit. "Heh...Oh yeah. I forgot that part doesn't come for a few more months..." he teased the other a bit, smirking up at him with a half lidded gaze on his face. "I suppose that means it can't hurt me anymore than it already will at this point." he laughed.
Not finding the joke very funny, Zim sighed but nodded. "No." he kissed him again. "I don't think it could." his voice came out in a quiet whisper.
His antennae falling, Dib noticed Zim's reaction to his teasing and frowned. "S-Sorry...D-Do you want me to stop?" he asked, letting go of Zim to take his own step back now. He hadn't meant to make the Irken feel bad about his pregnancy.
Zim shook his head, no. "No, it's okay." he smiled, pulling Dib close again. "You have the right to make jokes." he then said, just holding Dib tightly against his body.
Resting a cheek against the Irken's chest, Dib clung back onto Zim. "I don't mean for them to make you feel bad. I'm just trying to lighten the mood a little. But I guess I'm not very good at that." he sighed, still feeling bad about bringing it up in the first place.
"That's okay, Dib." Zim nuzzled him, falling silent for a moment. "I-If you really want to...we could do it now..." he offered.
Eyes growing wide, Dib lifted his head up enough to look up at Zim. "W-Well, I already told you before that I-I want...wh-whatever you want..." he said that last part in a quiet voice, blushing a light pink.
Kissing Dib, Zim sighed before licking up the side of his face. "But do you want this?" he asked again, not wanting to do it if Dib didn't want to.
"All I want...is you..." Dib looked up into Zim's eyes. "And I don't mean just to be with you...I want all of you. And if this is the only way to achieve that, then I want it just as much as anything else I want of you..." he said, body shaking slightly.
Zim smiled a little. "Okay." he kissed him deeply, backing out of the elevator and pulling him along.
Their lips locked all the while, Dib allowed Zim to lead him out of the elevator.
Leaning back to jerk the blanket robe off of Dib, Zim pulled Dib to the couch, smiling as he enjoyed what he saw of Dib's naked form. "I love you." he kissed him, moving him so he could sit down on the couch before taking his own clothes off.
Eyes snapping wide open when Zim yanked the blanket off of him, Dib blushed, trying to keep himself calm as he was just a bit nervous about this. He kept his cool regardless however when Zim moved in for another kiss before seating him on the couch and stripping down in front of him. Swallowing thickly as he watched the Irken, he tried to keep his blush down to a minimum so Zim wouldn't notice.
Laughing a little, Zim smiled. "Are you that nervous, Dib?" he asked, sitting next to him and kissing him gently again, now naked as well.
Dropping his gaze back down to the ground once the other had broken their kiss again, Dib could only blush even more at Zim's words. "No." he lied, cheeks a bright cherry-red color now.
