Disclaimers: I do not own Invader Zim

Author's Note's: So again with the Clift hangers I know you hate it, but you love it too!

BTW: You have all been begging for a dominate Dib, so here we go! Please enjoy!


(Back with Zim…)

"So remember how I said that I may have lied to you about my social status?" Zim asked.

Dib nodded. "But I don't get it, how do you have a family? I mean I thought you were all clones."

"There is different forms of cloning." Zim said. "In your case, you are an exact copy of your father, but for us Irkens it's different."

"How?" Dib asked.

"Well your father cloned his own DNA to make you, Irkens take a strand of female DNA, and a strand of Male DNA and use it to create an offspring. Allowing the male and female to be mother, and father of the new Smeet."

"Oh okay, so you have a family, what's the big deal about that?"

"Because I'm not a part of just any family." Zim moaned. "You see the Irken population is divided, there's the mix breeds like Skoodge, who are shorter in statue, they too have parents, but it is by law that they never met them. And then there's the Nobles who are Tall-"

"Like the Tallest?" Dib asked.

"No Dib the Tallest are Mix breeds too, they're simply purer then the rest which is why they lead the military, and the other mix breeds while the Nobles-"

"Wait there are Irkens above the Tallest? But I thought they were in power." Dib snapped.

"They are." Zim assured him. "There're the leaders of the Mix breeds, pure breeds are a whole other story."

"Okay so how many nobles are there?" Dib asked.

"Well currently there are twelve blood lines of Nobility, with the Emperor as the highest leading power over all Irkens, pure or otherwise. And the rest of the Nobles are in place, just in case something should happen to the Emperor and his sons. This insures that a pure blood line will still rule over the empire as a whole."

"Okay so it's Emperor, Nobles, Tallest and soldiers." Dib asked.

Zim nodded.

"Okay that still doesn't explain you." Dib said. "I mean you're pretty tall Zim, and sure the Tallest are too…wait are you saying you're the next Tallest?"

"No Dib I'm not a mix breed." Zim said. "I'm a pure breed."

"You're Nobility?" Dib exclaimed, obviously shocked by his words.

"Yes." Zim answered simply.

"But if you're noble what are you doing in the military?" Dib asked. "I mean no offense but on Earth most nobles thought fighting in war was beneath them."

"It is." Zim assured him.

"So why?" Dib asked.

"Because as a Nobel I'm forced to become my father, a man who simply takes credit for all the mix breeds hard work. I wanted to do my own work, I wanted to fight for my people, to make a name for myself, but my father said such acts were beneath me, and that I had a greater purpose to serve.

'A greater purpose to serve.' Dib froze as those words settled into his mind along with what the other one, Skoodge had said moments before.

"Your father says that whoever secures the planet has to take the throne."

Dib's brow rose. "Zim who is your father?"

Zim sighed. "My father is Emperor Nax, King of the Irken Emperor, and I am his first born son, heir to throne."

For a moment there is silence as Dib seems to process the information he was just given. And then a smile forms on his face, and just like that Dib falls over laughing on the ground breaking his promise in an instant.

"Dib!" Zim yelled over his laughter. "You promised you wouldn't laugh!"

"I'm sorry!" Dib exclaimed, only to realize he wasn't really sorry at all. "No wait I'm not sorry, I mean it's just this explains everything." He said getting to his feet.

"Oh?" Zim asked.

"Yeah this is why you act so high and mighty all the time, it's because you're a-"

"Don't say it Dib!" Zim warned.

"No You Zim are a-" Dib went on.

"I said don't say it!" Zim hissed.

"Prince!" Dib screamed and burst out laughing again.

"I told you not to say it you ungrateful worm!" Zim hissed.

"Oh I'm sorry Your Highness." Dib laughed.

"Dib I'm warning you." Zim growled.

"Sorry your right Highness doesn't suit you." Dib agreed. "How about Sire, or your Grace?"

"DIB!" Zim yelled.

"No I got!" Dib laughed. "You're Majesty!"

"That's it!" Zim growled and tackled the boy before him.

Invader Skoodge shook his head as the two enemies began to wrestle in the dirt.

Maz snickered, "You know maybe I judged the boy too quickly, I mean he does have spunk."

"More like a death wish." Grogg scoffed.

"Yes." Emperor Nax agreed watching the scene before him.

The two enemies fought for dominance, until finally Zim won, straddling his enemy as saliva dripped from his sharp pointed teeth.

"Call me that again you filthy Earth child and I will scoop your insides out!" Zim swore.

Dib laughed despite the taste of blood in his mouth. "Oh come on like you wouldn't do the same to me!"

"Now is not the time for your witty banter!" Zim warned. "This is serious, and when my father learns of you, and of how much you know you're dead Dib, DEAD!"

That seemed to knock Dib out of it, for the teen bit his lip.

The two stared at each other for a long time, each fighting the urge to kiss the other.

Finally Dib spoke again. "What a mess we've gotten ourselves into uh Space boy?"

Zim laughed despite it all. "Yes indeed." He got up, and to everyone's surprised offered Dib his hand.

Dib took it, and allowed Zim to help him up.

Invader Skoodge's eyes widen, Zim would never help anyone in less they had gain his most utter respect! Which meant. 'The child has gained his respect, but how?!' His eyes narrowed on the two. 'Something's going on between them, I can tell!' of course it was obvious what, and if he could see it so could everyone else.

"We should get out of here." Zim said, turning to him.

Invader Skoodge nodded, and set Maz's ship to autopilot back to the Massive, after all he wouldn't need it anymore. No, after all he was dead meat too, in less Zim won the throne and pardoned him for all his crimes.

"Let me guess you need a place to stay?" Zim asked knowingly.

"If you don't mind." Invader Skoodge said hopefully.

Zim and Dib share a look.

Zim sighs "Okay, but the base is going to be pretty cramped with the four of us."

"Four?" Invader Skoodge asked.

"Yes there will be me, you, Gir, and Finally Dib." Zim explained.

"He's living with you!" Invader Skoodge exclaimed.

"It's complicated." Zim answered.

"I don't care what it is Zim." Invader Skoodge said, pulling him off to the side. "All I care about is what it looks like. And this looks like Taboo!"

Zim shook his head. "Trust me, I know what I am doing, now we have to go, or need I remind you that you are a fully exposed Irken on an Alien planet that's due to be invaded any day now!"

Invader Skoodge's eyes narrowed, but he reluctantly agreed, and the three made their way back to Zim's base.

Dib bit his lip, giving Zim an awkward, glance. 'Seriously, how did things get so messed up between us?' He wondered. 'And how the hell did I not see it sooner? Of course he's a prince, this explains everything!'

His self-absorb nature, his I am more superior then you attitude it wasn't just due to the fact that he was a member of an intelligent race. No, he was a member of the races nobility. Which means he was twice as good as any lowly human. Dib shook his head, this wasn't the first time he had caught himself referring to the humans as lowly.

Before Zim slipped him that Alien heat drug Dib always thought. 'We humans must stop the Alien!'

But now he was singing a different tune.

It wasn't those stupid green lizards anymore.

No, now it was Zim and I. Now it was US!

And Dib kept catching himself thinking 'Those Humans' instead of 'Us Humans'

He was sinking too far into the rabbit hole, of course Dib knew this. Of course, he knew that he was getting too deep, getting far too attached.

However he couldn't stop himself, and he wasn't the only one.

Zim growled inwardly as they entered his base. What was he going to do about Dib, his father would surely kill him once he found out. He'd label him as a distraction, and say he was better off getting rid of him now.

Was he?

Zim looked to Dib and noticed the boy was doing his staring thing again!

Dib blushed as their eyes met.

Zim found a smile slipping on his face, he had grown use to that shade of scarlet; and those Amber eyes of his could reach into his very soul.

He wasn't sure when he started feeling so attached to the boy, hell he hadn't even been aware of the change until the Tallest called and reminded him of his duties.

'How could I let that worm get under my skin?' He wondered. 'How could I allow him to change in my eyes?'

"SKOODGE!" Gir exclaimed as they entered the home.

"Yes Gir Skoodge is here." Zim said. "Now go get him a room ready."

"OK!" Gir cried and grabbed Skoodge by the arm. "I need you to come with me." He said. "I got to take you to the lab and pick you out a proper disguise too!"

"O-K" Skoodge said allowing the robot to take him away.

Silence it wrapped around the two like a vice, and speaking of vices.

Dib wasn't exactly sure what had come over him, it wasn't like him to make the first move.

Zim's eyes widen as Dib threw his arms around him and kissed him deeply.

The kiss became a hot, and heated mess in a matter of seconds, of course it was the Tallest who were to blame; if not for them the stress about their predicament would have stayed hidden to them.

Dib would have preferred it that way.

He would have preferred staying in the dark, blindly giving in to his addiction.

However, Zim was beginning to like this, for this whole predicament was bringing out a side of Dib that he didn't know existed. Zim grunted as Dib slammed him up against the wall, and started running his hands threw his antennas as the kiss got impossibly deeper. Oh Irk he loved it when Dib rubbed his feelers it felt so heavenly. "Dib-thing…" He purred.

A deep heat pooled into Dib's stomach, and that was it, he had to have Zim NOW!

Zim allow Dib to throw him on the couch and straddle him. Yes, it would appear this would one of their right there moments. Only this time it was Dib who was in control, and he wasted no time stripping off his clothes, and seconds later Zim was exposed to the enemy.

"You look so much prettier like this," Dib cooed, petting Zim's antennae. "God, I love your eyes, Zim…"

Zim smiled the boy had completely lost it, and if he were wise Zim would put him back in his place, however he found that he didn't want to.

'This might be the last time we get to do this.' He thought.

And that thought alone made him want Dib even more.

Maz grimaced at the scene before him. Zim and Dib were now kissing deeply, avidly groping one another's bodies, as Zim pulled on the boy's clothes. "What are they doing?" he asked.

"I think it's called making out." Red said trying to keep himself from throwing up.

"That's disgusting!" Grogg exclaimed. "Why would one do such a thing?! Listen to all the little slurpy noises!"

"Rumor has it that it feels good." Purple answered.

"Oh it does." Emperor Nax said surprising them all.

"Father you committed taboo?" Maz asked.

"I was young and curious." Emperor Nax admitted.

"Do we have to watch this Sire?" Red asked.

"Yes we should probably give them some privacy." Purple piped up. "Cause it's obvious that their not stopping half way."

Emperor Nax nodded at this. "Yes, you may turn it off."

Red wasted no time severing the connection to the spy drone. "Thank heavens." He said.

Emperor Nax eyes narrowed. 'Might as well get it out of your system now my son.' He thought. 'Because if you think I'm letting you keep him you are dead wrong!'


(Back with Zim, and Dib…)

Dib rubbed a hand against Zim's crotch, making the alien moan. "Want more?" Dib teased his enemy brushing his fingertips underneath his growing need.

"Yessss… Zim wants everything, Dib-beast…" the alien spoke in a sultry tone, using a three-digited hand to push Dib's head closer to his lower parts.

Dib smiled. The alien scourge was so much more likeable like this, Dib gently pushed Zim to lay back down on the couch before kissing him down the length of his body.

Zim squirmed beneath his touch. "Dib-thing don't tease Zim." He tried to make it sound like a command, but in all honesty he was begging.

Dib smiled. "Or what you'll punish me?" he asked kissing the tip of his member.

Zim gasped loudly. He had no idea that being the one that was not in control could be so rewarding. "Dib please." He moaned. "It's been so long."

Dib laughed. "Zim we had sex Friday, it's only Tuesday." He pointed out amusingly.

"Really?" Zim asked. "It feels like longer."

Dib smiled. "I know what you mean." He admitted.

"Then stop torturing me and finish what you started!" Zim snapped.

Dib laughed. "I guess this means we're done pretending this isn't happening between us?" he asked.

Zim nodded. "Yeah besides I miss you." He admitted.

"I miss you too." Dib admitted.

"Oh Irk, what have you done to me." Zim whispered.

"Me?" Dib snapped. "You started this!" He reminded the Alien. "Slipping me your heat drug serves you right that it would backfire on you."

"Dib?" Zim asked.

"Yeah?" Dib said.

"Just fuck me already." He ordered.

Dib smiled slyly. "As you wish your majesty."

Zim is about to growl furiously when Dib stops to strip off his clothes. He wasn't sure why it made him stop, it shouldn't after all he's stripped the boy many of times. However, to watch Dib do it himself, for him to put on this little show had quite a lust filled allure. "Dib…" He whispered.

Dib laughed, again he wasn't sure what had come over him, he was never confident about these things before. Maybe the thought of losing Zim had awoken these feelings inside of him, or maybe they had always been there and said dilemma had brought them into the light. He wasn't sure which one it was, but if he was honest he would admit that he didn't care.

Zim watches as Dib discards his last article of clothing before restraddling him. They are now skin to skin; ivory against emerald. And nothing else had ever felt so right to the two of them. "I want to keep you." Zim admitted.

"Then keep me." Damn he had just did it again! Dib forced himself to focus on not losing his nerve as he began to stretch his partner, slipping a finger into his awaiting entrance. If he kept seeing Zim as his lover he'd never be able to stop him.

'Do I want to stop him?' He wondered.

Sure the surprise call from the Tallest had stirred up some of his Alien hunting passion, but with every kiss, and touch Zim's body was melting it back away.

'Why fight for them?' Dib shivered as Zim's words came back to him. 'They treat you like dirt.'

'Maybe Zim is right maybe they don't deserve me.' Dib thought.

"He would never allow it." Zim said, bringing Dib back to the task at hand.

"So." Dib said. "I am yours not his." He told him, adding two more fingers.

Zim quaked as a second and third finger entered him, it felt strange, but it was also exciting. "Dib-thing I don't want to talk about you leaving."

"Then what do you want?" Dib asked.

"You." Zim said simply.

Dib smiled, and pulled his fingers away.

Zim whined at the lost, but stopped as a large member lined up with his entrance. 'I never realized just how big he is.' He thought. However, this didn't scare him, no it only made him want it more. "Dib-thing please." He begged, squirming for more.

Dib laughed, and Zim growled.

"Stop teasing, Dib! Zim wants more! Now!" the alien demanded.

Dib smirked. "Heh, so impatient…" he mused.

"I want everything from you, Dib-beast," Zim whispered against Dib's lips, as he gently raked his claws down his bare back.

"As you wish your Majesty." Dib joked before thrusting into his alien for the first time.

Zim moaned loudly as Dib slid inside, far too wrapped up in bliss to scream at him for calling him that…AGAIN!

Then they started moving.

Did moaned as Zim's inner walls tightened around his member, and he instantly quicken the pace.

It was obvious that this wouldn't last long.

But neither of them cared, in fact it was probably for the best, after all Gir could only keep Skoodge distracted for so long.

"Aaaaahhh! So gooood, Dib!" Zim cried out in ecstasy, digging his claws into Dib's back.

Dib didn't seem to mind though even as blood started pooling around the tips of Zim's claws.

Dib shook his head as a thought suddenly came to mind 'I'm a gay, masochistic xenophile.' He realized. 'Irk he's got me so messed up!' That thought made him mentally kick himself. 'Great now I'm swearing like him too!'

Zim's rather loud moan snapped him out of his train of thought, but just barely.

"Zim he'll hear us." Dib warned.

"Can't help it." Zim admitted. "You feel so good."

"Guess I'm gonna have to shut you up then …" Dib whispered to him before keeping the alien's mouth busy with a passionate kiss. They moved slower, more intimately than before. It was almost… sweet. Like they actually cared about each other.

'Maybe we do.' Dib thought.

He wasn't the only one having said thought either.

'I've gotten way to attach with this human.' Zim admitted to himself. 'Father is going to kill me!'

'Oh well…'

Dib's speed got impossibly faster, he was close, but he wanted Zim to be close too, so without much thought he took one of Zim's antennae and nibbled on it gently.

Zim saw stars, and purred loudly.

Dib moan as some of that forbidden heat drug began to leak out into his mouth. He lapped it up hungrily, thrusting harder, and deeper.

"Oh Irk." Zim moaned. How did he not thing of this sooner, Dib was so much more skilled then he gave himself credit for. 'And to think he's been holding out on me this whole time! The savage!'

Dib lifted his hips, changing the angle and hitting a spot that made Zim scream. "OH, IRK, DIB! RIGHT THERE!" Zim gripped the couch cushions for dear life as Dib slammed into the spot over and over again. "Harder!" he groaned, and the human thrust into him mercilessly, moaning in pleasure.

The tight heat of Zim's body surrounding Dib's length felt like heaven, quickly pushing him closer to sweet release. "Oh… Zim… so close…" he moaned, his hip movements getting erratic as the pleasure consumed all his senses. Dib reached down and pumped the Irken's member, feeling his orgasm approaching fast.

"Ah, Dib! I'm gonna- OH! DIB!" Zim cried out, his seed spilling onto his stomach. Dib thrust a few more times before he came as well, moaning Zim's name as he filled him with semen.

They both stayed like that for a while, panting from the intensity of it all, then Dib slowly slipped out of Zim and kissed him sweetly before lying next to him. Zim grabbed a tissue and wiped off the sticky pink mess on his stomach. Once done he rolled on his side to face Dib.

"Was that okay?" Dib asked nervously. "I wasn't too rough was I?"

Zim smirked, it would appear his adorable timid Dib was back… 'Wait did I just call him adorable?'

"Zim?" Dib asked.

Zim hesitated before answering. "… I can feel it… inside me… so hot…" He admitted.

The human panted, gently stroking Zim's antenna. The Irken was unusually quiet, save for the contented purrs vibrating his throat.

Zim closed his eyes and snuggled up against Dib, who was also about to drift off to sleep.

The boy smiled as the Irken nuzzled up against him.

Dib pulled a blanket over them and kissed him on the cheek. The alien made a little noise, antennae twitching. Dib watched him sleep with adoration. "I love you." He whispered, then his brain actually processed what came out of his mouth. "Fuck, did I really just say that?" He looked at Zim waiting for him to poke fun, but sighed with relief as he realized the Irken was sound asleep.

"Thank heavens." He thought out loud, before settling down into a blissful sleep of his own.

Zim opened his eyes and looked over at the boy; shocked by his words.

'Does he really love me?' he wondered.

He wanted to say it was just the heat drug talking, but Dib had expressed his feelings before that.

So that meant he really did love him!

Zim smiled, no one ever said that to him before, since love was such a foreign thing on Irk Dib was truly the first.

And for some reason that made him feel special.

"I love you too." He admitted quietly, and seconds later he was fast asleep.
