A/N: Hello! Nice to see you again! I don't own Invader Zim! (isn't it grerat how I snuck that in there?) Didn't you just LOVE the cliffhanger I left? Well, I was getting lazy and losing inspiration, I thought I might as well leave it there before I screwed it up n.n

Zim paced about the room, trying to figure out what to do. He DID know about humans and their bodies (a horrific class called 'sex education' taught him about that… he was frightened, to say the least, to go near girls for a little while) and was a little shy to be staring at Dib's, or even thinking about taking his pants off.

However, he didn't want the STUPID worm-baby to die from something so feeble as an illness… ZIM must be the one to destroy the Dib! Zim reached a hand out to unfasten the belt holding up Dib's pants, and he stirred; Zim froze. After a moment, he finished removing the belt and unbuttoned the pants, removing them without looking, and stretching his arms as far away as possible. Zim could feel his face heating up, but wasn't quite sure of the cause.

Zim tore the pants off as quickly as possible, his face tinted a light pink, straining to look away. "GIR!" He barked. "Give the human his BLANKETS!" and walked away, taking the trench coat and the pants to be dried. GIR's eyes went red for a moment in complete concentration. 'Yes, master!" He said, placing the fuzzy blankies on Dib in a very neat way, then going back to his silly old self, bouncing around.

Zim came back into the front room a few hours later, after working on some things below the base, he had momentarily forgotten about the ill Dib. However, when GIR zoomed down to tell him he was shaking the couch, Zim had to investigate, only to find that Dib was shivering fiercely. Zim became frightened for a moment, then dug through many books he had collected over the years until he found one about illness. "Pneumonia…" Zim murmured, reading over all the symptoms.

"GIR!" Zim shouted. "Look up a cure for 'Pneumonia'!" GIR jumped up, eyes red for a moment, but that quickly faded. "This one time… I saw my FAVORITE show and they said that getting nakey and cuddling fooooor….. 'body warm' works for stuff! YES!" Aaand once again he begins to giggle like a mad little monkey, dancing around… something about 'nudey pants'.

Zim's eyes widened as he realized what he had to do. By this time, he had removed his disguise. The Dib had seen him without it numerous times, so it didn't make that much of a difference. Zim's face heated one again as he removed everything but the necessities from his body – and climbed under the blanket with Dib. Unfortunately, the couch was rather cramped with both of them on it, so Zim had to cling to Dib.

He listened to Dibs heart beat and found it rather relaxing, falling asleep to the rhythmic sound of it.

The sun had arisen for a new day, as Zim had awoke annoyed by the sun's intrusion on his wonderful sleep. Zim didn't need to sleep. But for some reason, that night he had felt… quite relaxed. He stretched his limbs a little, and reality came to him of why he had felt so relaxed – why he was even sleeping in the first place. A startled voice came to Zim, causing the Irken to completely fall of the couch as he finally fully realized what he had forced himself to do that night.

"Z-Zim?"

Well, that was akward! I'd like to, once again, apologize for the shortness. I guess I will slowly be feeding you ZADR – If I have enough time over the weekend I will make a longer chapter.

Techno Doofus: Thanks for all your wonderful suggestions! Our way of thinking is actually very similar, so I'm looking foreward to seeing your reviews on future chapter

FallenAngel331: Thanks for being my 2nd reviewer, yay! You shall hold a special place in my heart. Thank you for your kind words! And I promise to leave sucky cliffhangers just for you
