I haven't updated on this story in a while. D: Well here you go...I hope it doesn't suck!
It was 10:30 when Zim and Dib began rolling out the gingerbread dough. Zim rolled it out with his PAK leg and Dib admired how helpful Zim's PAK was, he wished he had one himself.
Dib was going through the bottom drawers, looking for cookie cutters. There weren't that many, one of a dog, a star, one that looked like a foot for some reason and some others but no person shaped cookie cutter. Dib made a disappointed noise.
"We can make them gingerstar cookies I guess." Dib said in slight amusement as he took out the star cookie cutter. Zim finished rolling the dough and Dib went to start cutting it but Zim won't move out of the way.
"What is it, Zim?" Dib asked, he felt oddly nervous. Zim just gave Dib his trademark look and Dib stood there like a fool. After a few seconds Dib's face went red like always.
"D-did you want a…kiss?" he asked in fear that Zim didn't want that but the alien smiled widely and Dib shook his head before he pressed his lips against Zim's. Zim grabbed Dib's red and white Christmas sweater and pulled it gently and Dib pulled Zim closer by his waist. Dib pulled away just a bit and Zim tilted his head, wonder what the human had to say.
"Does saliva burn you Zim?" Dib asked but the question seemed really stupid after Zim replied.
"Stupid human, does it look like Zim goes around testing if human saliva burns him?" Zim said while raising a non-existent eyebrow. Dib blushed at the answer.
"Right…can I check then?" the human asked, finding it easier that asking 'wanna make-out?' Zim nodded and Dib leaned back towards the alien's face. Zim held the fabric he had in his hands tighter when their lips connected.
Dib slowly licked at Zim's bottom lip and waited for the other to open his mouth. Zim didn't feel anything too serious; only slight tingling so he let Dib's tongue in. When Zim wasn't screaming in agonizing pain the two went full on. Zim's arms snaked over Dib's shoulders as he pulled him closer and Dib pushed Zim against the kitchen counter to the point where Zim almost couldn't touch the floor.
Their tongues fought inside their mouths and soon Zim had his skinny fingers laced into the human's silky hair. Zim's tongue would twist and wrap around Dib's and Dib knew he was the only guy in the world who could experience such treatment. It felt amazing and as if Zim knew what he was doing. When they broke apart, they were panting.
"H-how did you do that?" Dib asked, breathless. Zim was panting while trying to think about how he actually wrapped his tongued expertly around Dib's.
Zim shrugged. "It was sort of natural."
Dim smiled and kissed his alien again. "You're amazing Zim." Zim smirked.
"As I've been saying this whole time, Dib-monkey." Zim said with his egoistic voice. Dib just chuckled and they finally cut the cookies and put them into the oven.
They headed back up to Dib's room and waited for the cookies to bake. Dib sat on his computer desk chair and Zim lay flatly on the bed.
"You know, kissing you isn't as weird as I thought it would be." Dib said as an afterthought. Zim turned his head towards the human.
"You thought about it before?" Zim asked and Dib's face went red.
"Um…a few times, yeah, just out of curiosity!" Dib said as the blush on his face grew darker.
"Even when we were enemies?" Zim asked, now lying on his stomach to look at the human's flustered face with a smirk.
Dib pouted a bit. "Sometimes…" Dib admitted. Zim laughed and Dib made an offended face.
"Oh, like you never have!" Dib said in his defence. Zim sat up and looked at Dib as if he was totally out of his mind.
"Zim has only found out about kissing today…" Zim said to the other boy, shocked that Dib would accuse Zim of such things.
Dib's face went really red as he looked away from Zim's confused face. "Oh…right." He mumbled.
"But… Zim has had fantasies about strapping the human down on an autopsy table and doing…things to you…yes…" Zim said shifting his big eyes left to right in a suspicious manner, making Dib chuckle.
"You know, I never would have seen this coming…us, being…uh, friends, kind of." Dib said in a thoughtful voice.
Zim nodded and said "Yes but now that Zim has no Tallest, it was bound to happen, wasn't it?"
It was Dib's turn to nod his head knowingly. "I'm, um sorry about that Zim…I mean, it must be painful…" Dib said sincerely as he gave Zim a truly sympathetic look. Zim's antennae lowered significantly and his lower lip poked out a bit in agony. Dib got up and hugged the alien gently. Zim was still sitting on the bed and since Dib was standing, Zim's face was buried in Dib's stomach as he held the alien close. Zim tugged at the human's sweater and Dib pulled away to sit on the bed and held the alien close again. Zim let Dib do whatever he pleased, mostly because the human was being so gentle and caring towards him.
The two boys stayed like that for a while, Zim would move to get comfortable and Dib kept his arms tightly wrapped around the green boy. Zim felt a bit iffy about this situation since Tallests didn't do these things with their 'lower-class' citizens but Zim wrote it off as a form of comforting, which it was, when you skimmed the surface.
"Hey Zim…" Dib almost whispered. Zim made a 'Mmm' noise in his throat indicating to Dib that he had his attention. "I think the cookies should be done by now…" the human informed the irken, but it was evident that he didn't want to point that out since he was so content with everything at the moment.
Zim pushed against Dib so he could look at the human. "Oh, ok." Zim said with a nod and the two left the room.
Gaz was still on the couch, with Gir, when the boys came down the stairs. She gave Dib an odd look, one of speculation but Dib ignored it and went into the kitchen with Zim following close behind. Zim sat at the table as Dib went to fetch the oven mits. Dib opened the oven, took out the cookies, closed and turned off the oven then he took the tray of hot cookies and brought it to the table. He put a cloth under the tray before setting it down.
"Well, there it is, cookies." Dib said with pride. Zim raised an eye brown and inspected the food they had made. The alien stretched his hand over the tray to try and poke one of the cookies but Dib grabbed the tiny limb.
"The're hot, Zim." The human said in a worried tone of voice. Zim gave Dib a bit of a pouting face and took his arm back.
Dib sat at the other end of the table but decided to take his chair and move it beside Zim. "We just have to wait a bit." Dib said with a smile and kissed Zim on his soft jade cheek many times; they made the ex-invader giggle with embarrassment. The two boys sat in their chairs and waited for the cookies to cool down and when they finally did, Dib offered Zim to eat the first one. So Zim did.
The alien chewed and chewed and chewed a bit more, intensely examining the cookie's flavour, seriously debating whether he liked the taste or not. Zim's over exaggerated 'taste test' made Dib roll his eyes in amusement and he decided to grab a cookie himself and took a bite.
"For a first time, they turned out pretty good." Dib said in amazement with his mouth full. At that moment Zim swallowed the food he had been chewing for some time.
"Meh, Zim doesn't like them…" he said, giving the cookies a sour look. Dib gave Zim a disheartened look and Zim put his hands on his hips. "These ginger things aren't sweet enough for Zim." Zim explained. Dib stared at Zim then looked at the cookies.
"We could put icing on them…" Dib suggested then added "We have some of that."
Zim perked at the word 'icing', he loved human icing for it was probably the sweetest thing on this planet. "Yes, that should do it." Zim nodded with confidence, almost as if he came up with the idea. Dib shook his head with a smile on his face as he got up to get the icing for Zim. When he gave the tube to Zim, he quickly kissed the alien on the lips and Zim kissed back.
Dib watched as Zim mounted the icing on each cookie. He let Zim do whatever he wanted since he felt so bad for the alien, being banned to earth and having to have someone to be his Tallest and stuff must be tough, especially for Zim. After the icing ran out, Zim took a cookie again and shoved it into his mouth and closed it with a satisfying 'mmm' noise. Dib chuckled and took a cookie himself and ate it thinking that they did taste a bit better with icing on. A few minutes later Gir walked in and Gaz walked in a few seconds later. Without a word, the two new comers ate the cookies.
It was almost 12 and Gaz was heading up to bed so Dib asked Zim if he wanted to sleep now and the alien nodded then picked up Gir as he followed Dib to his room. Zim and Gir settled into the bed as Dib got dressed in the bathroom.
When Dib came back into his room he stared at Zim as the alien petted Gir's robotic head with a distant look on his face. The alien sensed Dib's presence and looked to him as he turned off the lights and slipped into bed to join them.
Zim slept on the side of the bed against the wall and Dib on the opposite side with Gir snuggled in the middle. Gir screamed a good night and the two males told him to shut up and sleep.
Sorry for any mistakes! TOT
