Chapter 4: Opened Eyes

'WHAT! The HELL! He...he...kissed me...no, no I'm not staying in here any longer this just doesn't add up, He NEVER showed any interest in me before, maybe this is just to throw me off! Off of what though, he's obviously not trying to make my work quality lessen, that would be stupid, maybe...no, NO... I'll confront him...' Gaz argued with herself, she placed a hand on her still tingling lips, he had stolen her first kiss, she hadn't hated it, which was what frustrated her the most, this made no sense to her

She picked up the pillow and threw it into the wall with a scream, Zim in the other room shuddered. After realizing that did nothing at all to calm her down, aside from breaking the lamp in the toss, she threw out the shards and put the pillow on the bed, falling face first into it, and screaming again and the nonsense she was being forced through. After 5 minutes of raw anger and screams she fell asleep from exhaustion.

It was two hours later, Zim thought it was suspicious to be quiet for so long, especially Gaz!, he put down the newly upgraded freeze laser and unlocked the door separating the two of them. He opened the door to her room, he heard a soft moan from the bed to the lump with purple hair.

He sat on the bed, he simply stared at her beauty, so less violent when she slept, though he found himself attracted to her violent nature, strength, and threats, this was still nice. She fidgeted and hair fell covering her face, he brushed it out again, her eyes opened sleepily at the soft touch, only to snap open in fear at the sight.

"WHAT ARE YOU D...!?" she was cut short by a muffling hand "shhhh" he whispered into her ear, his breath gave her chills. "MMmmmMMMfffmmm!" she cried under his hand. she tried to push him off only to have her arms restrained to the bed by tentacles from his Pak, "Now, now" he tsked at her. She tried to kick up under the sheets only for him to find their exact location and restrain them too, he was between them. He looked at her only to see wide eyes and extreme blushing at the position. he released her mouth. "LET GO! GET OFF!" was what immediately came out. "Now why would I want to do that." he purred, noticing her discomfort.

He leaned his face closer, "If you dare mff" cut off by his lips being pressed roughly to hers this time, she wasn't dazed this time, she struggled to no success, she started turning her head rapidly only for him to hold it still with his free, real arms. "MfffFFFFF!' she called under the kiss, now almost suffocating her, he took the opportunity off her muffled yelling to slip his tongue into her mouth, caressing her tongue to give way to the kiss, she wouldn't, she bit it as a last resort, he pulled back and she breathed in sweat oxygen, something she didn't think she would ever receive again. "Now now, was that necessary?" he asked with a bit of a glare. "I COULN'T BREATH!" she countered. he simply smirked which sent annoying butterflies of fear to her stomach. Had he wanted to suffocate her.

"Why did you kiss me anyway!" she angrily asked hear turned to the right, not wanting to look at him. "I had always wanted to, before was not enough." he replied forcibly turning her head to face him again, not hurting her though. "Since when have you wanted to, you've never shown interest in me before!" she replied. "Ever since I met you, and i tried very hard to show you without alerting the Dib-stink or any other dirt-monkey." He said looking directly into her coffee eyes. "Once I needed organs for the vile Pig-smellies so the nurse droid wouldn't be suspicious, I was down dirt-smellies and I saw you, I didn't want to hurt you so I looked up anatomy to find the appendix was an Organ humans didn't need to live so when I took it I replaced it with your game slave, knowing you'd be preoccupied till I could return it to you." he said constantly staring into her eyes, which made her a bit nervous, she had recalled the incident and nodded. He smiled at the light smile she had for a moment at the recognition, it was a rare sight indeed. "Then there was when I had a blemish... Postulio I recall I had called it, rather foolish as I look back, but i served its purpose, all except to have a certain purple haired girl under my control." he smirked at her as she scoffed again turning her head to the right.

"Oh that reminds me, I've always wondered, How did your hair become purple, I researched it was not natural for dirt-children, that it's either blonde, brown of black or somewhere in between, how is this so?" He asked. "Well, when I asked, father told me he had accidently mixed up a scientific potion and the formula for me as a baby, so my hair mutated naturally purple." She told him "You had to take formula, I read that nutrient for Earth smeets came from the mother unit, was there no mother unit?" he asked, immediately he saw her face contort in sadness, his squeadily- spooch sank. "No, she died in a lab accident when I was young, We were very close, both her and my father were scientists till he left for a moment and an incorrect mixture was made by one of their employees, killing both her and 7 others."

He retracted his excess limbs into his pak sitting up, Gaz adjusted, only to be pulled into a tight embrace. "I'm sorry." was all he said, it now made sense why she was so concealed, she was alone, her mother unit deceased and father unit always working, never home. She was lonely and used her games and hatred to cover it. The Dib... well he was just crazy, but probably lonely too.

"You are relived of all duties today, however you must stay a full 24 hours here as punishment, what kind of leader would I be if I caved on discipline." he smirked. "There is a button to your left that opens the under wall flat screen television, and the green one to your right opens to room service menu, enter 9391, my access code and it's unlimited, go easy on my chefs okay?" he smiled and took leave.

Maybe she didn;t hate him as much now, visa versa, but she still needed to find Dib
