Ch.16: human anatomy?
I hid the key in my right glove and walked back to Dib. "how late is it actually? Ya now, since Reco's up already." He asked me, I looked at him and said: "hold on." I took the wristwatch from my PAK and checked the time. "it's half seven, diner's served in about a half hour." I said strapping the watch to my right wrist making sure that the key would stay in place. It hurt lake a son of a vortian, but I had no choice, unless I wanted Reco to find out, and you don't wanna get on her bad side, really. "do you now something to pass the time?" I asked Dib, he smirked and looked me over. "say, what are the differences between your and mine anatomy?" he asked giggling at the end. I just stood there, staring off into space, blushing like an idiot. "hello-ho! Earth to Zim! Are you there?" he said while he waved a hand in front of my vision. I immediately woke up, the dark green blush still in place. "uhm…. Well, uh-that's hard to explain, I never studied human biology, ya know." I said keeping as far as-way from going into the details without randomly changing the topic. "then it's time you do." Dib smiled. "I could help you with that…if you like." He added, I just gawked at him, face turning a darker shade of green. "w-well….it would be easier if someone could explain me one thing or an other, so I think that I would appreciate it if you'd help me with my studies." I answered, cooling down a little, the blush still in place. "ok, then when will we start?" Dib asked, I looked at my wristwatch and said: "how 'bout, after breakfast? It's almost 7." I got a smile as respond. Dib stood up and walked over to the door, he opened it and said: "after you, almighty Zim." He made a gesture for me to leave the room and bowed like an actor would after his performance. Smiling straightened my posture and walked out the door. Holding out my hand with a playful smile, I said: "would you like to join me on my way to the dining room Mr. asylum beast?" I got a 'RAW' as respond. Dib took my hand and we walked to the dining room. Arriving on our destination, we agreed that the kiss never happened and acted like we normally do, we didn't want anyone to find out, yet. We finished eating and exited the room before someone could start throwing with food and would start a food fight….. again. Entering our room, the first thing we did was actually lock the door for the first time and push the beds against each other so they would form one big bed. Then, taking a seat on our bed(s) I waited for Dib to get his big heavy box of books, or the book box like he calls it, he searched in his box for a biology book, throwing books with weird titles like 'the history of the asylum' and 'to crazy' onto the bed. "got it!" he said after a good 10 mins of fishing in his book box. He handed me the book, the title was 'human anatomy from A to Z' a weird title if you ask me but at least it was about human anatomy. I started reading stopping every now and then so Dib could explain. So we filled the rest of our day.
