The next day, Dib and Zim were back in school. They were moderately silent towards one another, only a few glares here and there. Needless to say, their more nosy classmates were becoming suspicious. The stupid ones made their usual jokes. The Performing Arts class came round, their teacher forcing them to work on their skit, finding that they had come to her class empty handed.
They sat across from each other in a dark corner, Dib watching his classmates practice while Zim picked something out of his teeth. "Earth Monkey." Zim said suddenly, and Dib looked up, surprised that Zim was staring right at him, causing him to drop his pen. The Irken invader leaned over to pick it up, handing it to Dib. The half second contact from their hands touching made Dib's heart race.
"Er… what is it? Come up with an idea?" Dib asked, nervously adjusting his glasses, pushing back thoughts that demanded attention. He took a quick look down at his notes, which were generally nonsense. Something about the tolerance issue regarding homosexual couples, violence associated, etc… Of course, Zim would never go for that. He wouldn't want to be noticed in such a negative way. Might 'blow his cover'. Dib inwardly scoffed, but said nothing.
"No, you fool, but I see you have." Zim said, poking the notepad. "Let's just do that and get it over with. We'll get at least a 'C', for trying." Dib made a surprised but suspicious look at Zim. Usually, Zim tried to dominate everything. Projects, conversations, whatever. But not even looking at what Dib had written… it made him wonder what Zim had been working on at his base.
"Oh… alright… are you sure?" Dib asked, frowning slightly. The idea he once thought was great seemed to get less and less appreciative after every second. The gay jokes he normally ignored, but how much worse would it get after he did this? (Ignoring the fact the general male populace of this particular class was in the closet, and the girls didn't care either way.)
"Yes, yes..! I do not have time for this. Write it, show it to me, and that is all! Understand, Drool baby?" Dib raised an eyebrow at the pathetic insult. "Yeah… alright… I'll write it up and stop by your place later, so make sure to turn off your lasers. Okay?" Zim was picking his teeth again, pretending not to hear.
"Zim! Okay!" Zim blinked, waved his hand, and murmured, "Yes, yes, of course, no lasers." Dib scowled, knowing to bring something to disarm those pesky lawn gnomes.

Zim was in one of the many workrooms beneath his base, set in the dirt of the earth. He was working on some minor project. An upgrade for GIR which would probably fail, maybe a new set of roboparents. His alarms indicated that there was an intruder, and he scowled, remembering Dib.
He watched Dib on a screening camera. He was panting, on the porch, ringing the doorbell and pounding on the door out of impatience. Oh. He was supposed to deactivate the Lawn Gnomes. Slipped his mind… Zim grinned. He continued to watch Dib panting like a fool, how his cheeks and ears were red tinted from the cold and activity.
The Irken invader swallowed dryly, throwing himself from his seat, the odd thoughts working through his mind enough to throw himself out of a window. Ste-OUPID humans… and their stinky… stinky-ness!
He finally opened the door for Dib, grinning at the angry face that was shoved at him. Zim stepped aside, allowing the human into his base. "Let's get this foolishness settled! I have… things… to do." Zim hissed. Dib nodded in agreement.

"Nay! Thou shalt not place a male hand upon my flesh!" Zim cried, holding his gloved hand in front of him, forcing distance between the two. "O, woe! Dost thou truly denounce thy right of self?" Dib questioned stepping closer to Zim; Zim backed away. "Thou knoweth and understand the burning agony of thy hurtful heart." Zim shook his head, looking away from Dib, avoiding the subject. Denying it all. "Thou knoweth the male embrace condemn eternal, fiery hell." Zim replied, his voice trembling.
"O, weakest man! Lonely man!" Dib cried, bringing Zim towards him in one quick, fluid embrace. "Thou shalt not fear inevitable circumstance; thy enraged soul shall soar forever!" Zim opened his mouth to protest, but was stopped by Dib's gentle hand over his mouth. "Nay! Speak nothing! Together, thy secret desire shall reveal upon…"
Dib trailed off, his eyes caught in the desperate stare of Zim's. Slowly, their faces came close together, with Dib's hands on either side of Zim's face. Slowly, sensually, until their lips met in a sweet, forbidden kiss… The curtains fell, and the class applauded wildly. Zim tore away from Dib, roughly tearing the tape away from his mouth, muttering how lucky he was that the teacher knew that old trick.
