-1Zim sat perfectly still, every muscle in his body now tense in shock. 'What's going on… Is… Is this what the earth scum called… a kiss?'

Zim was quickly brought back to reality when he felt the moist warmth of Dib's tongue tracing the full length of his lips before slowly slipping inside. Zim's arms flopped limply to his sides as Dib coaxed Zim's reptilian tongue to dance with his own, causing Zim to shudder in response. But as Zim's curiosity got the best of him, he slowly gave in to the temptation. Allowing his tongue to wrap around Dib's, playfully giving it a light squeeze.

But just as quickly as the kiss had started, it was brought to an end when each other pulled away, gasping for breath.

Zim stared quietly at Dib, neither of the two knowing what to say to the other. The awkward silence continued until Zim could finally stand it no longer.

"What was that?"

"What was what Zim?"

"That thing you did with your lips and tongue," he paused briefly for a moment in thought. "What do you humans call it… a kiss or something?"

Dib lowered his head slightly, a dark crimson blush spreading across his cheeks so dark that it rivaled Zim's eyes in color. "Y-Yeah, look Zim I'm s-sorry about what happened… it won't happen again, I promise… I…"

Zim chuckled softly to himself. "You cease to amaze me, you know that?"

Dib now lifted his head and looked up at Zim. "What?"

He smirked, showing off his sharp, milky white teeth. "First you come drag me out of the local bar when I'm drinking myself retarded, then you have the nerve insult me, and now you even kissed me! Well aren't you just an emotional rollercoaster."

"Well what do you expect me to do!" He said with slight irritation as a result of Zim's previous statement. "All I ever do is try to get close to you and every time I start to warm up to you, all you do is push me away! It's so confusing at times Zim that I don't even know if we're friends or enemies anymore!"

Zim was taken a bit back by this, "What made you think that I was ever your friend?" He said in a mild tone, unlike his usual manner.

Dib's expression dropped a little. "Because you're the only one close enough to me who knows what it feels like to be alone. Who knows there's no person exactly like you and I in this entire hemisphere. Hell maybe even in the entire universe!"

Zim pondered this for a second, before letting a large smile plaster itself across his face. "That's why I like you, because you're not like everyone else. Because you're DIFFERENT."

Dib heart stopped beating for a brief moment. "Y-You like me…"

Zim chuckled softly, his features not beginning to soften. "If I didn't like you, then why didn't I rip your throat out for kissing me."

Dib stopped, know thinking over what could have been the possible outcomes of his recent actions. The sides of his lips gently tugged into a soft smile. "You know, I think that was one of the most random, impulsive things I've ever done in my entire life…"

"Well… was it worth the risk of decapitation?"

Dib's cheeks tinted a slight shade of pink, though unseen because of his bangs plastering themselves over his eyes. "Yeah, I really think it was…"
