"Okay, for now, you can stay in my room until we make a dorm for you."

Sky looked startled. "But where will you sleep?"

"I can stay with Zim for now." I glanced at the clock on the wall. "Wow, it's late, just let me grab a few things." I walked off into my bedroom and over to a small closet. Opening it, I grabbed a pair of pajamas and closed it, heading out again. Suddenly I tripped and fell into Zim, knocking us over.

He chuckled and helped me to my feet.

I blushed bright emerald as I smiled weakly. "Sorry 'bout that..."

A grin formed on his lips. "That's okay; Zim enjoys the fact that you have weaknesses."

I gulped and attempted a smile. "Eh heh, thanks..."

"Well, we should get some sleep, we've got a big day tomorrow."

"Yeah, night Sky!"

"Night!" She waved and went into the room, closing the door behind her.

I yawned and rubbed my eyes. "Well, I'm not sure about you, but I'm almost asleep on my feet."

He stifled a yawn himself and stretched. "I'm not."

I let out a laugh and collapsed in his arms. "Yeah right!"

He chuckled and held me close.

I relaxed in his arms, a place I always felt safe, no matter what. "Come on, I can't afford to be tired tomorrow."

He nodded and kissed my forehead.

I stepped out of his arms but allowed him to keep one arm around my waist. We walked down the hall and I decided to see what I grabbed for pajamas. I gulped, my face flushing when I realized what it was. It was my short lavender night gown with the laced straps. I just HAD to pick this one didn't I? I groaned and hugged the clothing to my chest.

"What's wrong?"

I blushed madly. "Uh... nothing! Nothing at all!"

"Are you sure?" He looked down at me with a concerned look.

"Y-Yeah! Absolutely nothing!" A weak smile formed on my lips as I pleaded with my eyes.

"Okay, if you say so..." He ushered me into the elevator that led us down into another hall. Zim led me out and into the familiar giant lab and then down the narrow hallway that went straight to his room.

I gulped as the door swished open and we stepped in. 'What's he going to think when I put this on? That I want him to do whatever? No, he wouldn't automatically think that! Even if he does, I can just explain that I grabbed it by accident. Yeah, let's go with that!" I headed straight for the little room on the other side of the bedroom. "I'm going to go change!"

"Alright, I guess I might as well too."

I nodded and stepped inside, closing the door behind me. Quickly as possible, I changed out of my new uniform and into the lavender PJ's. I looked in the mirror and huffed. Ugh! I was sooo stupid for grabbing this! Let's just say it showed more skin then necessary. I uttered a groan and picked up the other clothes from the floor and folded them neatly into a bundle, setting them on a counter. This was probably one of the biggest mistakes I'll ever make. Swallowing my pride, I opened the door and strutted out. A blush appeared on my face as I caught a glimpse of Zim's expression. I t was gawking yet intrigued. "I grabbed it by mistake alright?"

"I wasn't thinking anything like that!"He paused for a moment. "I was thinking of how beautiful it looked on you..."

That broke my heart; I thought he was thinking other things. "I'm sorry I exploded like that..."

"It's okay; it was only natural of you to think that that's what I was thinking."

I nodded and walked over to him.

"Not to say you aren't tempting me." He smirked and a low growl emitted from his throat.

I took a step back, my expression fearful.

He laughed and enveloped me in his arms. "I was only joking!" His smile was the most handsome thing I had ever seen. "I would never make you do something you didn't want to!"

I smiled up at him. "Thanks Zim."

He grinned and kissed my lips.

I breathed in his musky sweet scent. What would happen to him if I suddenly left? Would he be sad? It made me feel bad when he kissed me like this. If I died, he would die inside. But at the same time, this feeling sent a passionate burn to my chest. The flames licked around inside my body, warming me and making me feel content and calm. He was my world, and I was his. I wouldn't be able to part with him ever again.


The sudden blaring of an alarm woke me out of my content slumber. I groaned and reached over for the snooze button. My movements caused Zim to groan and pull away from me to cocoon in the blankets. I pressed the button and sat up. "Zim, come on, it's time for Skool." I tried to shake him awake but he just hid under the covers farther. I growled. "Okay, I can play that game too!" I stood up and walked to the end of the bed. Taking the end of the covers, I yanked them off.

He growled and curled up into a ball, pulling the pillow over his head.

I returned the growl and pounced onto the bed. As I crept up beside him, I heard him snore. I snatched the pillow out of his grip and pinned him.

His eyes fluttered open. "Why're you pinning me?"

"So you wouldn't reach for another pillow to cover your face with."

"Heh?"

"You didn't want to wake up!'Member?"

"No, not really... but," he rolled us so I was the one pinned to the bed, "I do remember waking up to a young miss who apparently hasn't learned that she should never awake the Amazing Zim from his slumber." He growled playfully.

"And what do you intend to do to this young miss?"I inquired, a cocky smirk forming on my lips.

"Zim intends to punish her..." He grinned devilishly at me and touched his forehead to mine. He tongue licked my lips and he bit my bottom lip just hard enough to draw blood.

"Oww..." I licked the blood away. "You know, I could sue you for that..." He captured my lips with his.

"But you wouldn't do that would you?"

"No, you're right..." I bit into his tongue. "I'd just fight back."

He chuckled darkly. "I'm going to make you regret that!"

"Oh really?"

Zim licked his lips and took the tip of my antenna into his mouth.

I groaned against the exquisite torture. Slark! Gr... I stifled another groan. 'I'm going to get him back for this!' I suddenly gasped and began to tremble as he bit down on it.

He pulled back to look at my face.

I was breathing hard and my face felt on fire, as did the rest of my body.

Zim grinned. "Had enough?"

I shook my head, not ready to give into him yet. "Do your worst."

"Alright, just remember you asked for it!"

I gulped as he lent in again. He bit down roughly, causing me to scream and jerk in response. "OKAY! OKAY! OKAY!"

He got up. "Yes?"

I cleared my throat but it still came out shaky. "I-I've had en-enough..."

"Really now? What if I haven't?"

I whimpered. "Please?" I licked his lips, inviting him in.

"Oh, alright but only 'cause you asked sooo nicely." He kissed me on the lips and grinded his teeth on mine.

I opened my mouth to him and he deepened the kiss to an ecstatic level. He tasted so good, almost too good. I moaned into his mouth as his tongue danced with mine.

A sudden knock at the door brought us out of our world.

Zim got up from me as I sat us, whipping my mouth with the back of my hand. "Come in!"

The door slide open to reveal Sky in a long sappier T-shirt and white short shorts. She rubbed her eyes but quickly came to when she saw the state of the room. "What were you two doing in here?"

Zim and I both pointed at each other and shouted. "They started it!"

"He bit my lip and antenna!" I cried out.

"Well, she woke me up and bit my tongue!"

Sky just stared, her blue orbs surveying both of us. "Let's just pretend I never came in here alright?" She began to retreat down the hallway.

"Wait, Sky! It's not what you think!" I hopped off the bed but fell to my knees from my shaky legs.

"Eh heh..." She bolted off.

"Wait, I-!" Too late, she was gone. "She's never going to live this down is she?"

"Nope!"

"Aw, slark..." I pulled myself back onto the bed. I sighed. "I guess I should go and explain it to her..."

"No, not right now," Zim came to sit beside me, "give her some time to get used to the idea."

I looked over at him. "Yeah, you're right..."

"Aren't I always?" He smiled. "Now, let's get ready..." He planted a short, sweet kiss on my lips and stood up.

I nodded as he helped me up. Grabbing onto him for support as I stumbled, he wrapped his arms around me.

A wicked grin became plastered on his face. "What's wrong?"

"N-Nothing!" I staggered away from him. "See? I'm fine!" Taking another step back, my leg buckled and I fell to my knee.

Zim chuckled and helped me up again. "Are you sure?"

"That was a fluke!"

"Sure it was..."

I blushed.

He began to lead me to the door and out.
