We walked down the sidewalk in silence, only the sound of the buzzing street lamps in the distance filling the air, along with our echoing footsteps in the cold winter night. I looked down at his gloved hand, which was firmly wrapped around my own.
"Does Dib know about where I was?" I asked. Zim stopped and glanced back at me for a brief moment before continuing his walk. "No. The Dib has a history of overreacting to small situations" He said plainly. "I wouldn't exactly call that a 'small situation' Zim… Bad things would have happened if you hadn't shown up" I said in concern. "Zim is aware of rape, and you're lucky I did show up." He stated sternly, silencing any further questions I might have had.
We walked for the longest time before I finally had to speak. "Zim…" I said questioningly. He replied with a "Hmm?" and I looked down awkwardly. "I hate to complain but I'm barefoot, freezing, and I don't have my violin…" He stopped walking and turned to face me. "Your violin is safe back at my base. The Zita human brought it to the base about ten minutes before I went after you," He took his red jacket off and put it over my shoulders. "As for your cold complaints, Zim will take care of it" He said in a bratty way as he swept me off my feet and continued walking with me in his arms. I blushed and stared at his chest as he walked, barely whispering a "Thanks" just loud enough for him to hear but pretend he didn't.
…..
"Why did we stop? The house is right there" I pointed across the street. Zim set me on my feet and wrapped his left arm around my waist, pulling me closer. "What're you…" I trailed off the moment I saw the red tint in his eyes. It was almost sparkling…
"Be Zim's..." He said sternly before using his free hand to cup my cheek. I laughed, obviously not grasping the seriousness of the situation. "Be yours? Is that your alien way of asking me out?" I asked with a small laugh. "Yes." I froze at hearing that, unsure of how to respond. I felt a gust of wind blow my dress and hair to the side and I struggled to pull it out of my face. "You're kidding right?" I asked nervously. He simply frowned and shook his head.
"Be Zim's." He repeated.
This time I shook my head, a bright blush covering my face. "I… can't. It's a bit too awkward and you're a different species…" I trailed off. A long moment of silence passed before he moved in closer. I could feel his warm breath against my skin and I shivered slightly at the tingling sensation. I didn't even have time to blink as he pressed his lips firmly against mine. My blush deepened and my heart kick started with adrenaline as I slowly gave into the kiss, regretting it but still loving every moment. I tilted my head to the side and pressed my lips against him as my eyes slowly shut, but he decided to leave me wanting more as he pulled away. My head followed his as he pulled away and I desperately tried to make the kiss last but he was soon grinning at me, and that's what I was greeted with as my eyes half opened.
"Now will you be Zim's?" He asked.
Once more I shook my head. "If you think you can win me over with a kiss then you've got another thing coming" I retorted sassily. "But you liked it, did you not?" He questioned. "That's beside the point!" I frowned. He opened his mouth to speak but before any words could escape, I'd turned and started walking in the direction of the house, leaving him baffled to my resistance.
Oh hi there IZ fandom! Forgot you existed…. I forgot how to write Zim in character since it's been so long so sorry if he's OOC.
So, after a few months of abandoning not only this story, but this fandom, I've decided to give it another chance. I quit after not getting any reviews despite my legion of followers, So here's the deal guys. This isn't a chapter, rather just a trailer for the many chapters to come if you review. So if you want to know what happens next, or why Zim got rejected, then review and I'll write it for you. BUT. If this story doesn't get at least five reviews within the next week, then I'm deleting it along with all my other IZ stories. No pressure though amIright? So leave a tiny review letting me know you want me to continue so that I can ~V117.
