[The Next Morning...]

(Still at Zim's House)

Morning…

Dib hated it, almost as much as he hated what he woke up to. Navy blue walls, and a soft round bed, for a moment he forgets where he is. That is until suddenly someone moans beside him, and drapes their green arm around him. And just like that last night came rushing back to him.

He and Zim had…

'OH GOD!'

Dib sat up, as the shock took over. 'What was I thinking? Was I even thinking!?'

No, he wasn't. 'He threatened to destroy the Earth!' He reasoned with himself. Unfortunately that reasoning did little to make him feel better about his current situation. He looked around the room, wondering what time it was, but there was no clock. 'Where's Zim's Alarm?' He wondered. 'Does he even have one? How does he get to school on time without an Alarm?' He soon got his answer!

"MASTER ITS TIME TO WAKE UP!" Gir exclaimed barging into the room. "Oh Hi Mary!" he giggled. "You're naked."

"Gir get out!" Dib exclaimed, covering himself with the blanket, as he started throwing a couple of pillows at the deranged robot. "Get out, get out, and get out!"

"But I have to wake, master. He needs to go to school!" Gir explained.

There's a groan from behind Dib, the bed shifts. "I'm up Gir now go make breakfast." Zim orders, sleepily.

"Okay!" Gir screams, and races out of the room.

Silence, it was deafening.

"Sleep well Dib-pet?" Zim asked.

Dib could hear the laughter in his voice, and anger soon filled his mind. Zim wrapped his arms around him, and licked the back of his neck. "I know I did." He whispered.

"You are despicable!" Dib snapped, forcing his way out of Zim's hold and out of the bed.

Zim allowed him up, and watched him get dressed.

Dib pulled on his boxers, and pants; then cursed as he realized something.

"Problem?" Zim asked.

"You ripped my shirt you ass hole!" Dib snapped.

"Is that all?" Zim asked getting up.

Dib's eyes widen at his naked form, and he looked away, blushing slightly.

Zim smiled, and walked over to his closet. "Just wear one of mine." He said throwing him a black shirt.

Dib threw it on, and sighed as his nostrils took in Zim's sent. 'Great not this again.' He thought.

Zim chuckled, as he too got dressed. "Your shoes are still down in the lab, I'll have Gir bring them up for you."

"Fine." Dib said, as he moved to retreat from the room. Zim grabs him by the arm, and pulls him into another possessive kiss. Their tongues dual, until Dib pulls away, gasping for breath. Zim laughs.

Dib turns on his heels, and stomps out of the room, following the smell of waffles down the hall. He soon finds the kitchen, and sits down at the table, huffing!

"Mary I found your shoes!" Gir exclaimed, presenting him with his sneakers.

Dib takes them, and makes a face as he notices something. "Gir why are there hamsters in my shoes?"

"Oh that's where I put 'em!" Gir said, taking the 2 small rodents from the shoes. "I wanted them to be warm so I could eat 'em later."

Dib suddenly regrets asking.

"Gir stop coddling and finish making breakfast!" Zim ordered, as he walked into the kitchen, and sat down beside Dib.

"Yes my lord!" Gir exclaimed, serving the plates of waffles.

Dib looks down at the waffles questioningly. "Are they safe for eating?" He asked.

"Yes." Zim assured him, passing him the Syrup. "He's actually much better at using actual ingredients."

Dib takes the syrup, and drowns his waffles with it, before biting. "They're good." He realized wolfing them down.

Zim nodded, and poured his own syrup, before eating.

Gir begins dancing wildly around them.

'So this is what Friday mornings are like at Zim's house?' Dib thought to himself. 'I wonder if every day is like this.' He wouldn't know, he never watch Zim this early in the morning at least not on a school day. He looks to Zim, staring at him thoughtfully. 'He's really quiet this morning, is he always quiet like this in the morning?'

"Staring again?" Zim asked, smiling.

"I get to go home after school right!" Dib snapped.

"Yes, Yes" Zim assured him. "I am an Irken of my word."

Dib sighed in relief.

The bus horn sounds off from the road.

"Master the bus is here!" Gir exclaimed.

Dib, and Zim get up from the table and file out of the door to the awaiting bus.

"Bye Master, bye Mary." Gir shouted. "Have a great day!"

Dib boarded the bus, and sat down in his usual seat, and Zim sits with him. Their bus mates begin to chatter, and Dib knows some of them, if not all are wondering why he and Zim got on the bus at his house. Dib bit his lip, he had to escape Zim's hold somehow, before he was stuck in this new normal forever!

"So Dib who are you going to the dance with?"

Dib looked up to see Gretchen, and that's when it clicked. 'If I go out with someone else, maybe I can break this hold Zim has on me!' Dib thought. "Uh no one yet." He told her.

"Oh." Gretchen looks down shyly.

"Want to go with me?" he asked.

Gretchen looked up, her eyes wide in shock, and obvious delight. "Yes!"

"Okay I'll pick you up at 6:30 tomorrow!" Dib said as the bus pulled into the school.

"Great!" Gretchen jumped up, and raced off the bus, she looked like she was really happy.

Dib smiled. Someone grabbed him by the arm.

"That wasn't wise Dib-pet." Zim hissed.

"Look Zim you had your fun." Dib whispered, as the bus emptied. "But I am moving on with my life. I am not yours! And you will not blow up the Earth so drop the bluff."

Zim smiled. "If you knew it was a bluff why'd you stay last night?"

"Cause I…" Dib's eyes widen as Zim's lips met his, the kiss was briefer than Dib would have preferred.

"I Know why." Zim said pulling away. "You want me, can't resist me." "

You can't force me to stay!" Dib shouted.

"No I can't." Zim agreed. "And I won't have to."

"Wait what?" Dib asked, a bit confused.

"You'll come crawling back to me." Zim assured him before walking away.

Dib gulped, he didn't like the sound of that!
