Walking just a few feet in front of everybody else all the while, Stella turned to walk backwards in front of Rose as they came up upon the mall food court area. "Aunt Rose, do you think we could head to the game shop after lunch? Pleeeeaaaasssseeee!" she begged.
"Well...Maybe Jack will be willing to take you. But you have to behave yourselves." Rose warned.
A big smile coming to her face, Stella's eyes lit up at that answer. "Okay!" she agreed before turning back around and running on ahead again.
Walking close to Zim behind them, Dib, meanwhile, tried to keep his distance from Stella, afraid Zim might react again if he got too close to ANYBODY at this point.
Doing his best to stay on his best behavior, Zim couldn't deny the feeling of anger building whenever Stella came into view.
Dropping back to walk near Zim after a few moments, Rose then leaned in to whisper something to him. "Zim...Has Dib spoken to you since you arrived here? Because he hasn't said a word so far as I know since you left the house. I'm starting to worry about him. I mean, perhaps it's just because of the day he's been having, but I'm really not so sure." she said, glancing at Dib concerned for a moment.
Zim drooped. "No...He hasn't said a word..." he said, finding that awfully strange himself now.
Rose glanced over at Dib, who was silently walking next to Zim, clinging to his arm as though the other would disappear were he to let go. "I really hope he's okay...It just doesn't seem like him to not say anything at all. I mean, if something was bothering him, he would just come out and say it, right?" she said, having never known Dib to really bottle things up completely like this.
"...Normally..." Zim leaned over and kissed Dib. "Dib, tell Zim what's wrong." he tried to coax the other into telling him why he was being so quiet all of a sudden.
"Mmm..." Dib let out a small whine at the kiss, shaking his head before returning his face to Zim's chest as they walked, antennae twitching some more.
Zim sighed at getting no reply. "Was Zim bad?" he then asked, thinking he had down something wrong to upset the other now.
Slowly shaking his head again after a few moments, Dib's face remained hidden in Zim's uniform top.
"...Then why are you so quiet?"
Lifting his head up slightly to glance at Zim, Dib then returned his face to Zim's shirt, just shaking his head again, not wanting talk about it.
Zim sighed. "Please tell me, Dib..." he pleaded with the other to tell him what was wrong so he could try to fix it somehow.
Shaking his head more firmly, Dib could only cling tighter to Zim.
"Nothing bad will happen if you just talk to me, Dib..."
His antennae drooping at all Zim's continued prying, Dib still didn't respond, just wanting to be left alone.
Knowing he must have done something wrong, Zim sighed again and held Dib close as they continued walking
.
Upon reaching the heart of the food court, Rose looked back at them. "Well, we're here. Zim, do you and Dib want to find us a free table while I go ahead and grab some food? I'll get you whatever you'd like if you just tell me." she said, gesturing to all the available choices, certain there must be at least something the other could eat here.
Lifting his head at the mention of food, Dib looked around at all the food stands before seeing one that caught his eye: a hot dog stand.
Zim followed his gaze to said stand. "I guess Dib wants a hotdog." he said before nuzzling the boy again. "Want to pick a seat?" he then asked the hybrid, not really feeling hungry himself.
Looking back at Zim after a moment, Dib then shifted his gaze to look about the place, knowing they'd need an area with more than one table empty considering how many people they were eating with. After a minute or so, he then managed to locate a small area in the corner with a few empty tables.
Before Dib could lead Zim over to it, however, Rose crouched down a bit to ask Zim what he'd like. "Zim, would you like anything? They have plenty of choices around here. I know you won't eat meat, but I could get you nachos or something." she smiled at him.
Shrugging, Zim eyed Dib again. "Actually, I'm not feeling very hungry..." he said, really just not wanting to risk the mall food as most such places served only foods he couldn't stand.
Rose's face fell a bit at that response. "Oh, are you sure? You didn't exactly get to have breakfast this morning, and you hardly ate anything at dinner last night." she reminded him as Dib clung to his arm all the while, looking about the place and only stopping to blush when he suddenly heard his own stomach growl also.
"It's okay. Irkens don't have to eat much. Especially short ones..."
"Oh, Zim...You really aren't that short. You're around the same height as a 16-year-old human. And they're not all THAT short. How about I get you a small something, and if you really don't feel like eating it, Dib can have it. He's eating for more than just himself, after all."
Agreeing to that, Zim nodded at the suggestion. "Okay..." he said with very little enthusiasm, figuring that the extra food would at least benefit Dib and the smeets in the long run if not himself.
Rose smiled again. "Well, I'll be back shortly." she said before leaving to get them some food.
Tugging at Zim's arm meanwhile, Dib tried to hurry the other along so they could get the tables before somebody else claimed them.
Zim laughed lightly. "I'm coming, I'm coming." he smiled and held Dib close as they got to the tables.
Sighing out in some relief when they were able to secure the tables, Dib pulled Zim into the seat next to his own before smiling and nuzzling one of his cheeks to the other's hand gently.
Zim smiled back. "Well...You won't talk to me...But you're certainly more affectionate than ever before..." he said before kissing Dib lightly. "I'm not sure if I like it or not." he then whispered to the hybrid in a playful manner.
Merely blinking at the other's words, Dib then leaned in to give his cheek a small lick.
Blushing, Zim nuzzled Dib back, nipping at his neck.
Dib gasped slightly at the small love bite. "Mmmm...Ziiiim..." he groaned out the other's name as he hid his face in the crook of Zim's neck, breathing warm, moist air against his skin.
Zim smiled at hearing Dib's voice. "So you can still talk then~" he nuzzled the other and licked his antennas.
"Ah!" Dib instinctively squirmed about in his seat, his eyelids slipping closed as the sensation of Zim's wet tongue sliding along the length of his antennae caused him to arch his back slightly, his breathing growing labored as his face became rather flushed.
Purring, Zim wrapped his arms around Dib and pulled him in close.
Reaching down to take hold of one of Zim's hands, Dib then brought it up to his mouth to suck on one of his fingers.
Blushing deeply, Zim moaned a little. "Diiib~" he said before glancing around and noticing they were starting to get looks. "When we get home..." he then whispered into the hybrid's antennae, not wanting to draw any unwanted attention their way.
Reluctantly releasing Zim's finger from his mouth, Dib panted heavily as Zim pulled away, his body on fire again and antennae twitching.
Sitting back and looking around, Zim then saw Stella and Kira heading for the table along with their father, who had just arrived there with Jack. Narrowing his eyes as his anger began to build again, he then clung to Dib, holding him close and almost pulling him into his lap.
