Invader Zim 1. Chapter 1

Glowzilla

Thing's Left Unsaid

The night air was crisp, washing over my face like waves of fire, stinging my cheeks and burning my eyes through the fake lenses. I had been walking for some time now, not sure of where I was headed, or of any direction that I was going, I just knew that I needed out of that house for a while.

Making my way down the city streets, far away from the culled-sack in which I lived, I traveled further, replaying the transmission that I had received none but a few hours earlier.

My tallest's, the rulers of the Irken empire, had decided that my usefulness was up. In their recorded message that was sent to me, instead of a face to face message, they told me of the lies, and the truth that was so well hidden behind my eager eyes to please them. I had grown considerably, about 6 feet to be precise, and my pack had started to translate data more effectively, giving me a keener outlook on situations, and making it easier to get out of unfathomable outcomes. With my age up as well, the tallests decided that now since I was functioning properly, that they would tell me the truth.

Tears welled at the edges of my eyes but I refused to let them slide down my face, relishing in the fact that I could keep my invader title, but would be unrecognized as a true invader, and that my mission was now a reconnaissance mission, only to gather information, and to relay it to the tallests if I wanted to. But from now on, I was formerly discharged, and my status was "Permanent Vacation".

What hurt the most out of everything that had happened was my own stupidity for not realizing that it was all just a game. I was nothing more than a pawn for their own amusement, and when I was done making them laugh, it was time to throw me away.

I could say that I've seen worse done to other invaders, but I haven't, I couldn't even think of one person who was as blind as me, to not see the treatment I was put through, and to still go through it. I was so blind to my own ego, that it actually surprised me when the truth came, but after a while of replaying the memories of my past with my new-found wisdom, I realized that I was a fool for ever thinking I was an equal to any of the other invaders.

But as the discussion in my head grew to be painful, I finally noticed that my eyes had betrayed me, and the quiet river of tears being shed down my cheeks were getting me strange looks from the people I was passing. Wiping my eyes quickly to hide the blue tears, I hurried into a building, not noticing what it was as I rushed inside to hide from the cold and the onlookers. The wind had picked up, so the warmth inside was a granted welcome.

Noticing the sign that read sit anywhere, I took the liberty of doing just to a table and sitting down, hiding my face from the people around me, I didn't even notice the hostess come up to me until she started talking. From the look of the building I could guess that it was some kind of bar, but it had several stages around the room and one large stage in the middle, with poles placed unceremoniously around the room as well, and on top of the stages.

"Can I get you anything to drink sir?" said the hostess with a wide smile. I looked up, brought out of my retrieve by her bubbly voice and eager attitude. I noticed that she didn't look like a regular server, wearing a very short skirt with frills on it, and a white shirt that didn't cover her stomach, complete with a bright pink bra underneath. Her stocking were fishnet and she completed the ensemble with bright red high heel pumps that made her almost as tall as me.

"Water, please" I practically wheezed out, starting to make the connection on what type of 'Bar' I had entered into. "Be right back with that sugar" she said in a velvety voice, leaning over me to brush some of my hair out of my face and then sauntering off. Since my adaptation to the Earths atmosphere, I was able to become desensitized to the harmful chemicals that lived inside the earth water. It no longer burned my skin and I no longer needed to bathe in past, which became quite irritating from time to time.

Going back to the conversation inside my head, I replayed my earlier mistake of just wandering into an unknown building. I should leave this place, said a voice in my head, you're in a strip club! Invaders don't go to strip clubs, this is below us! But then the memory of the transmission came back and my head bowed. Well I may not be an invader anymore, so what's the harm of watching some performers take off their clothes? I have to admit to myself that the females of the planet can be pleasing to watch from time to time, but none have ever motivated me to want to copulate with them. The thought of going home at the moment in the cold was a dreaded thought, and I welcomed the strip club as a good distraction for the time being.

A few minutes later the hostess returned to my table with the water, setting it down in front of me before giving me a strange look.

"What?" I asked, not really wanting to be bothered at the moment.

"I'm just wondering what a stud like you is doing in a place like this", said the hostess with a sly grin. "Did your girlfriend break up with ya or something? Or maybe your boyfriend? Depending if you swing that way?" Her question caught me off guard, and I looked at her with a strange look, copying her own. "Why do you say that?" I asked.

Cocking her head to the side she gave me a smile and replied, "Well, you just look a little sad and mopey at the moment. Most guys who come in without an automatic smile on their face are mopey about losing their girlfriends, and want to get back at them by taking picture's with the strippers". She said all this matter of factly, and waited patiently for my response.

Again caught off guard for looking sad in front of the humans, I made a quick reply, hoping it would satisfy her curiosity and get her out of my hair.

"Actually, if you could call it a similar situation, I was just told that my employment at my firm was no longer required, and that I was basically fired. So I figured this would help me take my mind off of the whole situation". It wasn't a lie, but it wasn't entirely true either, seeing as how I was still getting the benefits of being an invader, and I was still allowed to return to my planet, but it was only for supplies runs, and then I had to come back to earth. This was my permanent home now, my eternal vacationing spot that I could never leave.

The hostess gave me the saddest looks I have ever seen be worn on a human, and rushed me with a hug, her rather large boobs squishing my face. I could feel my cheeks heat up at her close proximity, and could smell the scent of her perfume even stronger through my antenna, which lay flat against my head under the wig.

"Oh honey, you poor sweet little thing! I can't believe you were fired and you came all the way here to get away from your troubles! Now don't you worry, Sallies gonna treat you really nice so you don't have anything to worry bout ok? Now just relax, and you'll be in for a real treat".

Unhinging my face from her boobs, I couldn't help but reply with a small thank you as she walked away, winking and then turning and bustling through some curtains to what I presume was back stage. Fixing my hair so that it was no longer crooked on my head, I let myself relax to the comfortable atmosphere and tasteful music that played all around me, allowing myself a break and a small smile.

As I sipped my water through the twisty straw that they gave me, a change in the music occurred playing through the speakers on the ceiling, letting me know something was going on. The lights diming around the restaurant with only the middle stage lit up, a spotlight shown on one pole in the middle of the stage. I guess it's starting I said to myself, reclining back in my chair so I could watch the show. It hadn't dawned on me until I actually looked around the bar/ restaurant, but it had become quit full with humans, allot of whom were men and women, all gathered around the middle stage as the music picked up in tempo.

I found myself easily relaxed by the music as I awaited the dancers, and couldn't help but feel that maybe the night wouldn't be so bad, and I would figure things out later. But for now, I just wanted to see something gyrate.

As the songs picked up more, the first couple of dancers made their way onto the stage. There were three to be precise, one in the middle which was a tall leggy blond with what looked like a bright red bathing suite adorning her body, only it had black lace around the cleavage area, and there were strands of beads running down the sides of her legs from the fabric of the suite. The two dancers to her left and right were men, with big muscled arms and only wearing black pants with a black bow tie around their necks, completely topless. They helped the leggy blond do some of her performance, tossing her from one guy to the other as she swung on the pole. The whole ordeal made me feel like I was watching some of the female Irkens as they learned battle moves. The dances were a mix between agility, flexibility, and for sheer enjoyment, as well as a good workout. When the first dance was over, everyone in the crowd clapped and cheered, and I was surprised to find myself clapping along with them, becoming excited to see the next dance.

After three or four more dances, all being better than the last, the music started to change, and the atmosphere in the room did as well. All in one moment, the females in the club not part of the dance crew rushed to the edge of the middle stage, squealing with joy at the upcoming dance, all of them holding their wallets like their lives depended on it.

As they waited for the next dancer, the hostess returned to my table carrying another glass of water and set it down in front of me. "So how are you liking the show so far?" she asked, giving me a wide grin.

"The show is actually pretty good, and turned out to be a great distraction for me, but I have to ask, why are there so many women here if it's a strip club? I mean I get why they would want to watch some of the men dancers, but they don't really do much else than help the female dancers. And I have a hard time believing their all lesbians." Zim looked at the hostess waiting for her answer, and was shocked to see her burst out laughing. "Oh man sugar you really are a newbie" she said between snickers. "But you are right, the women up front are not lesbians, but we do have one male dancer that dances for them, and I gotta say, if I wasn't waiting tables and I could get away with it, I'd top him right on stage, because man is he HOT!, as well as his body!". "You may not get much of a kick out of it, but he is fun to look at, even some of the guys who are respectably straight can't help but watch him".

"Is he really that good?" I asked out of suspicion, not really caring too much for the males of the species, but knowing that if this new dancer was as good as they say he is, then there wasn't any harm in downloading the moves into my pack for later and turning them into battle moves.

"Honey, you'll just have to watch and see for yourself. And don't feel bad if you get turned on, allot of guys do when they first see him, he kind of looks like a chick when he's doing the moves, cause he's got such a cute baby face ya know? Anyways have fun". And she walked off, leaving Zim to ponder about the mysterious dancer who was even better than the females, and couldn't help but get excited.

The music soon turned into a faster tempo and Zim could swear he felt the vibrations from the music radiating off of the stage and hitting his antenna, making his body sway, watching the stage intently until finally, he showed up.

The shock that hit Zim was so hard that he almost fell out of his chair when he saw who was dancing. Mouth hanging open he watched the fluid motions of the body onstage, unable to look away as the man sprung up expertly, swinging on and off the pole with a grace any fighter of Irk would be jealous of, slipping his legs firmly around the pole, he slowly sunk to the floor, touching a woman's cheek and smiling as she screamed and swooned. The routine was even more spectacular than any of the female dancers combined, and the flexibility of those long lean muscles had Zim watching in wonder of how much the human had grown and developed since their middles school and high school days.

"I can't believe I found him" whispered Zim in awe as he watched the Dib human flow languidly to the music, as if that was all he could hear as he moved around on stage, not once deterring from the rhythm, and ending the moves with the song, flowing to a graceful stop, and then bowing to the crowd of cheering females. His ensemble was something else entirely as well. Looking the human up and down, Zim couldn't help but notice the tight leather pants that fit snug around the humans muscle developed legs, hanging tight around his hips, a silver chain adorning the belt loops. A tight bright red shirt covered the human's thin lithe chest, giving no room to the imagination as you could count the muscles that adorned the thin body. His arms had fishnet bands running from the sleeves of his shirt, pronouncing the muscles in his arms and shining lightly with sweat.

Zim didn't even realize he was standing, making his way towards the stage, as if hypnotized by the human himself, unable to look away as he neared him. The Dib beast not even noticing his presence as the Irken Invader came closer and closer to his target.

Zim was almost able to touch the stage when something stirred in the crowd. A clatter could be heard and the next thing Zim new, he was being pushed back by a crowd of women, a circle forming in the middle of the floor just a few feet from the stage. Zim could hear yelling, and when he looked on, he saw Dib in the middle of the circle with a very drunk customer. The customer was yelling about something or other, and how he thought Dib had touched his woman and he didn't like it, and was being none too gentle with his rough shoves to Dibs chest.

In that moment, rage seemed to engulph Zim's senses as he watched what was happening, not liking at all how the human was touching the Dib, and pushed past the women in the circle, coming front and center to stand between Dib and the drunkard.

"Zim!?" said Dib in shock as he watched the alien step in front of him, not being able to say anything else as the alien invader he had lost touch with 2 years ago came forth in front of his very eyes.

"We will talk later Dib filth" said Zim in a menacing tone, making Dib shiver out of habit at hearing his voice. "Just move out of Zim's way".

"What's this HUH!? You getting your boyfriend to help you in a fight you little queer ball?" That patron was getting rather annoying, so Zim decided to not let him say anymore words, and fluidly punched the man straight in the jaw, holding back his strength enough not to kill the poor bastard, but enough to send him flying into a couple of tables and into the wall.

Smiling proudly at his handiwork, Zim then turned to face the human looking up at him, his wide amber eyes portraying an emotion Zim had never seen before, making something in his squeedily spootch knot and twist as he watched the human shift his feet under his gaze.

Noticing that they were getting more attention than Zim wanted for the night from the speechless onlookers, Zim took hold of Dib's wrist, yanking lightly, "were leaving Dib filth, collect your things and meet me outside". A slight nod from Dib told the Alien he wouldn't resist, giving Zim the go ahead to wait outside for him while he got dressed.

Chapter 2

I don't own Invader Zim or any of the characters, I wish I did though.

Read and review please! ^_^

Waiting for Dib outside of the club/ bar, Zim replayed the earlier dance Dib had done and marveled at the smooth movements the human had displayed, as well as the accuracy of the steps he took and the way the dance seemed to come together.

Every twirl, every glide, every lift onto the pole was magnificent, but something else stood out among the moves. Each step, twist and turn was a dedicated movement for a specific fighting style, but since it was so methidolical, it could be seen as dancing.

Zim couldn't help smiling to himself as he realized that Dib had incorporated his old fighting style into a type of strip dance. The only thing Zim felt was odd about the whole dance was that not once did the human remove his clothes. Although Zim didn't mind watching the display and marveling at the way Dib's tight ensemble clung to his body, he couldn't stop the voice in the back of his head whisper, "You know you wanted to see him naked."

Zim didn't wait very long for the human to emerge from the strip club/ bar he was just in, trying to hide the bright blush that had painted his face as he took in the sight of the human before him now. Clad in a pair of dark blue skinny jeans, a red shirt with a black hoodie and a pair of leather boots with a few silver buckles adorning the sides completed the human's new outfit. Zim almost smacked himself when his brain brought forth the previous ensemble the human had been wearing, remembering the tight black pants and tight shirt that pronounced every one of his muscles, almost cringing when the voice inside his head said, "You want to see him in that again, don't lie to yourself."

"How did you find me?" cut in the human's voice, dragging Zim away from his minor argument with his inner mind and looking towards the human standing directly in front of him.

"What do you mean how did I find you!? I just walked into this bar to find you dancing around like a stripper! And you have some nerve, disappearing for 2 whole years! Where in fact did you go huh!?"

The alien was practically livid, staring at the boy who throughout high school and middle school was his main target, his main enemy, the one he was meant to destroy when he took over this filth ball of a planet, and then suddenly….. he vanished without a trace.

Zim had searched for months on end for the stupid human, checking everywhere in the little town that they resided, even managing to find his way around the city but to no avail. The human had vanished, leaving Zim by himself alone in the little house he was now forced to claim as his home. It didn't stop Zim from looking every chance he got for the human, but a few months turned into a year, and Zim had since moved out of that house into another area, blending in with the human surroundings a bit more as his pack began to function properly.

Zim now resided in another city, a whole new house was built to maintain human appearances and his labs were expanded, as well as the height of his house for Zim had grown taller, much much taller. In fact if Zim measured himself properly, he would be as tall as his Tallest's, but that fact didn't matter now that he was banished from Irk.

Zim wouldn't dare admit that he was worried about the human throughout his disappearance, but seeing him now, standing in front of the ex- invader, Zim couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief that the human was in fact still alive and seemingly doing fine.

It didn't look as if the human was going to answer his question, looking away from the invader and shifting his feet. The human almost looked sad for a brief moment before he righted himself and looked back into Zim's eyes, an emotion running through the human's eyes that Zim couldn't place.

"Gaz and I had to move away since dad died, we had a few different homes that could handle two kids, but we had to be separated for a short while as well. Once I turned 18 I started looking for a job, and could finally afford to rent an apartment for me and Gaz to live in. It was hard at first cause no one wanted to hire a little kid ya know? But I finally found this job and went to get Gaz when I had the apartment set up. She didn't want to come back with me when I finally found her though. I had asked why but she said she wanted to find her own way in the world and didn't want to be a bother to me. I tried to explain that we should stick together cause were all we have left, but she said she would be fine on her own." The humans voice cracked a little and I could tell he was about to start crying. Changing the subject I offered for him to come to my home to explain the rest of his story, fearing for a moment he would reject my offer.

It had been so long since I had last seen the human I didn't want to risk the chance of him running off again. So any chance I could have to spend a little more time with him, I was willing to take.

He looked at me strangely for a moment, as if shocked that I would offer such a request, for him to be able to come into my house without needing to sneak in. He thought for a moment before answering with a soft "yes."

Chapter #3.

By Glowzilla:

I don't own invader Zim, Wish I did. Read and Review!

The walk back to my home was uneventful, making our way through the crowded city streets before coming up to a neighborhood that was relatively quiet, a huge contrast to the loud streets of the city, with its bustling citizens and noisy car horns that seem to never end. Zim considered himself lucky for finding the relatively quiet neighborhood, since with his increased height his antenna grew as well, picking up more sounds and movements with their added length. The noise was sometimes so unbearable he would often find himself in the basement of the labs, in the soundproof room he had built for himself just to get some peace of mind.

Although he had grown used to the noise and could stand a fair amount of the sounds, he still found himself suffering from a minor headache by the end of the day. The music in the clubs tonight not all that unbearable, but the sound waves still seemed to reverberate in his head, down to the tips of his antenna. Too much noise the alien concluded, hurt his brain.

Coming up to a medium size house in the middle of a row of houses, Zim turned abruptly, leading up the pathway to the small porch to a bright blue door.

The house itself was rather nice, though it was too bland for Zim's taste. He would have liked to add more color, but his picky neighbors through a fit when he painted the house purple with bright green trim along the windows. At the time Zim figured if he could make his house stand out, the Dib human would be able to find him easier. But all he really got for his troubles was an angry neighbor accusing him of trying to bring hooligans into their residence with his outlandish house color.

So Zim with a heavy heart re- painted the house white, but painted the trim of the windows bright pink and the porch a light blue with white trim on the railings and the bars, as well as the instep of the stairs. His house stood out, but at least the neighbors weren't going to complain to him at 6 in the morning when they got their paper.

Dib seemed at a loss when they came up to the odd looking house. What happened to all the purple and green the alien loved so much? He thought to himself, quietly following the alien up the steps of the porch and through the bright blue door, coming face to face with what looked like another world.

The house Zim lived in stunned Dib beyond words. Sure the outside was nice, but the inside was something else entirely. Dib actually thought for a brief moment that Zim had transported them to another planet, and through the door of the house was the portal to another world. Dib hesitantly stepped inside while Zim closed the door behind him, watching the human as he looked around his base.

While looking around Dib concluded that the alien liked the color purple and green, for the house had many shades of both colors, as well as some splashes of pinks and reds, along with a small amount of black. The floor was a plush light purple carpet that sunk in whenever you took a step, making it so that you could practically sleep on it if you wanted to.

The house itself was sectioned off and had many rooms on the first floor, all covered by the same carpet. The kitchen was huge as well, which surprised Dib because he didn't think Zim could cook, although the same didn't go for Gir. The little insane robot would probably ruin this kitchen if he was allowed.

The rest of the house seemed to be a maze, filled with large rooms each with their own bathroom and then a master bedroom down the hall, which Dib concluded was Zims room. Peeking inside he found a large circular bed with deep red sheets, the same plush purple carpet flowing into the room as well. Off to the right was the bathroom which sported light pink granite tile and a large porcelain tub in the middle of the floor. There was also a walk in shower, but Dib figured the alien probably used the tub more, although if he couldn't use water, what would come out of the faucet?

Zim, watching the human quietly had followed him throughout the house, keeping himself a safe distance from the earthling as he meandered through the halls, and into rooms, a curious gaze plastered onto his face as he took in Zims new living quarters.

Zim couldn't help smiling to himself as he watch the earth brat, taking in his appearance as he walked, noting all of the changes that were made since high school when last he saw him.

The Dib had indeed gotten taller, but not as tall as Zim had grown which surprised even the invader. Zim now stood a staggering 6'4 while Dib he guessed was only 5'9. This made the Irken smile a little more as he relished a quiet victory for outgrowing the Dib human.

Looking more closely at the human, Zim noted in the back of his mind that the human's hair had pretty much stayed the same. Shaved on all sides except for the top which lightly sprouted soft tufts of pitch black hair, which deeply contrasted with his ivory skin and bright piercing gold eyes.

Zim could actually feel himself shiver every time the earthling caught his eye, making his body quiver in anticipation and excitement at the revelation that Zim had found his human again.

Those eyes belong to Zim the alien thought. They are mine and mine alone.

Zim didn't even want to think about the possibility of the human disappearing again, the first time had been torture and if it happened again, Zim could honestly say he would go crazy.

He didn't want to admit it, but Zim really did care for the earthling, something in his internal organs told him so, making him want to grab the human and hold him close, to forbid him to ever leave the aliens side ever again. To mark him as his own so no one would ever touch his property.

But Zim knew he couldn't respond like that, and had to physically restrain himself from grabbing the human every time they passed in the halls during the human's exploration. If Zim was too rough with getting his feelings across and not giving the human enough time to acclimate himself to the advances, the Dib would surely leave again.

Just the thought of the human pushing him away had Zim hugging his arms tighter to his chest, digging his claws into his skin to make sure he didn't react on impulse.

"Where's your lab?" the humans voice cut into the silence like a knife, straying Zim from his thought and focusing his eyes on the human, realizing they had made it back to the living room.

"The labs down below if you want to see it, but I'll have to have the computer scan you first before we go in, just so that the defenses don't attack you when we get into the lift. I've upped the security so that only my bio- signatures can enter unharmed. Even Gir isn't allowed down there anymore. Although he likes to get himself blown up every once in a while by the computer, and I think the computer likes blowing him up." With a small smile Zim looked to the human, gouging his reactions and feeling pride swell as Dib gave him a look of pure fascination from hearing the information.

"You've changed allot since we've last seen each other Zim," chuckling lightly the human looked down and shifted his feet. "I guess I'm just surprised to see just how many changes actually took place." Looking up to the alien in front of him Dib smiled, "You've grown too, didn't think that would happen either."

"Yes, that surprised me the most out of everything else, I didn't think I would get so tall, I would have thought you'd be taller than me by now." With a wide smile the alien seemed to tower over the human, getting up close to his face as he took in his appearance. The smile fell somewhat as the human shifted slightly under his gaze, backing away slightly from the taller male.

"Why do you shy away from me Dib? Am I that unpleasing to be around?" backing off just slightly to give the other space, Dib seemed to right himself and give the alien a weak look.

"I'm just still waiting for this all to be a dream and I'm going to wake up any second in my own home, getting ready for another day of work you know? I never would have expected to see you again but now here you are, being formal towards me, not attacking me, and even offering to let me see your labs, it just all feels sort of unreal."

Zim could see the confusion in Dibs eyes as he looked towards him, understanding his misplaced trust in the other but wanting to show that he didn't intend to fight the human any more. Wanting instead something entirely different from the human that stood before him now.

"Zim wishes to form a truce with you earthling, I do not wish to fight any-more for I have no reason to." Zim stated this matter of factly which earned another confused look from the human.

"I though the earth was your planet to invade and conquer by your species." Said Dib with a light smile, "what changed your mind to stop invading?"

Zim looked away with a small smile of his own, though the action didn't hide the hurt that welled behind his eyes as he replayed the transmission from earlier in his head.

"Zim, Zim has no more mission", said Zim quietly. "Since my Pak has started to update information and relay it correctly, I was informed by my Tallest's that I was now on a permanent vacation. I cannot go back to my planet to live any- more, and can only return once in a while to make supplies runs. All in all, I'm officially no longer an Invader. The Earth is my home now, and will be for the remainder of my life."

Zim said all of this with his head down, eyes trained on the floor, not willing to look up to see the presumed smirk on the humans face. He could already feel the prickle of tears scorching his eyes, begging for release as he waited for the human to scream 'victory for Earth!', or what he thought the human would say to be along those lines.

What he didn't expect however, was for the human to reach forward and capture him in a tight hug. His lithe arms ensnaring around the trained Invader, gripping him tightly as he brought his head down onto Zim's broad chest, breathing lightly and quietly whispering, "I'm so sorry Zim."

The Invader had to catch his breath as the human grabbed him, shifting lightly in his arms and slowly bringing his up and around the earthling's waist, pulling him closer still and burying his head atop his skull. The light fluffy hair tickling his face as his scarlet eyes took in the human before him. He almost didn't catch the 'I'm sorry' the human had given him in his surprised daze.

"There is nothing for you to be sorry about earthling, I don't know why you would think there is reason to be, it is not your fault my leaders decided to kick me out,….. but I do appreciate the gesture at comfort."

Lightly tightening his grip Dib brought his face up to look at Zim. "But this meant so much to you, being an invader I mean. Of course I didn't like the fact that you were trying to take over the world, but for them to just toss you away like that!, it's just so unfair!"

Zim had to smile then, tears long forgotten as he saw the raw emotion in the human's eyes. He really did feel genuine hurt for the Invader, and that fact made something in Zims chest squeeze, almost to the point where he thought he couldn't breathe.

"Thank you Dib human, you don't understand how happy that has made me."

Dib could feel his face heat up at Zims words and at their close proximity, just realizing now that they were hugging for far longer than a normal hug would entail, and made a move to back away from the alien.

Zim could feel the human move but kept his grip around his waist, watching the humans face change color as he realized he couldn't back away from him.

Before the human could ask Zim cut in, "I want to ask you something Dib, and I want you to think about it before you answer me."

The human shifted his gaze back to the invader, still slightly confused as to why he couldn't stop the hug, but didn't feel all that uncomfortable with the situation. It had been so long since he had contact with another person that the warmth of the embrace was a welcome invitation.

"What is it Zim?" asked Dib slowly, becoming concerned with the Invaders hard stare that was directed towards his eyes.

Zim thought for a minute, weighing the options of his next move before deciding, to hell with being cautious! And asked the one question that has been running through his mind since he's seen the human in the club.

"Dib human, what would you say if I asked you to move in with me?"

**Things Left Unsaid**

**Chapter 4**

**Hey everyone, sorry for the long wait, I've literally been swamped with school work that I haven't had time to update. I'll try to get one posted at least once a week, but I'm sorry for any delays. Enjoy this chapter! Oh! And thanks for the reviews; they make me smile when I see them in the morning!**

Dib could feel his face heat up as he stared at Zim in disbelief. Why would he ask me such a question!? Dib thought frantically, he can't really want me to move in with him, does he? I mean we have been enemies since middle school! And now that we found each other, even though he's not an invader anymore, I can't believe that would really change how he feels, or felt about me all those years ago.

The more Dib thought about the strange question that through him off guard, the more frantic his thoughts became. What if this is all just a trick to get me to believe he's been abandoned, and then when I have my back turned he gets rid of me for good!? Or what if I agree to move in with him and he decides to do experiments on me while I'm sleeping!? Or what if he feeds me to Gir, or lets Gir eat all of my clothes!? I just don't know what's going on anymore!

The more scenarios Dib came up with that involved Gir eating him or Zim experimenting on him had Dibs head reeling. Zim saw the humans expressions change while he waited for Dib to give him an answer, and started to become anxious when he saw more than once, a look of fear cross into the humans eyes as he pondered the question.

Releasing the human from their awkward hold, Zim looked down at the human's still puzzled and slightly fear-filled face. This isn't going like I planned thought Zim sadly, and pondered on his earlier eagerness to just ask the human outright for him to stay without thinking about the actual weight his question held.

Moving in with your enemy, now that's something to really think about, and knowing Dib, he's probably conjured up a whole list of horrible scenarios that end with him being eaten or dissected in some way. Zim couldn't hold back a small smile that made it to his lips as he reminisced on the days of actually wanting to dissect the human. But now that the weight and the hurt he felt when the human disappeared made itself known to the invader, Zim couldn't stand the thought of losing Dib any time soon. No, Zim wanted to keep the human near him at all times, the new feelings that had become apparent inside of him forced him to realize that he needed Dib, more than he was willing to admit to himself.

Zim could forget about the tallests and the empire, as long as Dib was willing to stay by his side. But with the way the human was looking from the floor to the door made Zim think that maybe Dib didn't need him the way he needed Dib, and it just made it hurt more the longer the minutes ticked by as the invader waited for an answer that was sure to end in disaster.

I came on too strong thought Zim, I'm such an idiot and he's going to hate me! I can't believe I asked him that so quickly! Maybe I should tell him to leave and come back when he has an answer so he doesn't feel rushed. But what if he runs away and never comes back? Zim doesn't want that. But what can I do to make this right so that he doesn't fear me!? Zim… doesn't know what to do.

When the arms that were once holding Dib released him he looked up to the invader, wondering what had brought on the sudden movement, but was also relieved to have some space. It's not that he didn't want to be near the invader, but the whole situation had him asking questions, and coming up with answers to strange theories that weren't all that pretty. Dib didn't want to admit to himself or to Zim that he was still a bit scared of the ex- invader, and from the time of Dibs 'disappearance' Dib had had some experiences in the foster home situation that made him slightly more wary of certain situations. If Dib moved in with Zim and things went south, Dib wondered if he could get out of the situation unscathed. Although he may have been overthinking the whole situation, the time he spent in foster care made him rethink allot of things, and also made him unable to trust people as much or as willingly as he used to.

It wasn't all Zim's fault, or his fear of Zim, but Dibs inability to get past that fear of living with someone he barely knows. And although he was strong in foster care for his sister, Dib still suffered nightmares from his experience, and couldn't get past the habit of looking over his shoulder for an attacker.

Dib was more or less afraid of what Zim would say if he saw Dib having a panic attack, or if he woke up the invader at night with the screams his nightmares forced from his mouth. The memories of foster care still plaguing him, even during normal, every- day routines.

Zim might become overwhelmed with his new house mate and decide that he couldn't live with him anymore, and that's what scared Dib. He didn't want Zim to see him weak, and these occurrences Dib had made him the weakest, most vulnerable person in existence. Even now as he stands in front of the invader, Dib can't help but come up with multiple escape plans and attack plans he might have to use in case of an oncoming fight.

Looking up into Zim's eyes however had Dib faltering in the spiel his mind was throwing at him. He didn't expect the invader to look so, so sad and fragile in that moment. And when their eyes met, Zim broke the silence, shifting even further away from the human so as not to try and grab him if he attempted to leave.

"Zim, would like to apologize if he has offended you Dib- friend, I can see that my question has caught you off guard and is somewhat troubling your brain meats, but please believe me when I say that I genuinely want you to stay with me. And if you still feel like this is all a trick, I will in whatever way you wish, show you that I won't be a threat to you. So please just, just think about it before you outright say no. I don't want to beg, but your disappearance has made me realize that, that you, to me, are well, I, I just, don't want to lose you again."

Now that really caught Dib off guard, and he couldn't help but smile a little at the aliens flushed face and garbled words. The statement was so genuine, and so raw with natural emotion, that Dib wondered just how much his disappearance really affected Zim. He'd have thought that with his presence gone, Zim could take over the world without any troubles, and during the first year of his absence, Dib couldn't help but continually look out of any window or roof top to gaze at the sky in order to catch a glimpse of the oncoming invasion. When none of that happened, Dib had first guessed that Zim had left the planet, making the want to find the invader nil and for a short period he had forgotten about Zim.

It wasn't until his year in foster care that Dib began to remember the invader, and wanted so badly for Zim to just appear at the house one day and demand he come back with him. Dib wouldn't have cared where he would have ended up, he just knew that Zim would have made it better, and allot more interesting. He kept thinking, and letting his imagination soar on the days when his life in the house became bad, what would happen if the invasion did come. He would come up with scenarios about his foster house being exploded, but it wouldn't be because of the invasion. Zim would be there, helping Dib plant the bombs around the house while his so called foster parents were still passed out on the couch. These thoughts and imaginations are what kept Dib from going completely insane, deciding he wanted to live a better life than what was given to him. The day he turned 18 was the day he finally left that house and went in search of a job. Anything worked so when he was hired in the strip bar, he accepted without complaint.

He didn't start out a dancer, but worked his way up to becoming one since their tips were phenomenal. But he never took off his clothes. There was a reason behind it, but it was one he didn't want anyone to discover, and since his dancing was so good no one complained.

"Zim, listen, there's thing about me that, well…. I don't want you to find out about, and by me living here, I'm just scared you'll see these things and hate me for them." Dib tried his best to sound like it wasn't a big deal, but his voice wavered a bit. As much as he tried to deny it, Dib was actually ecstatic about seeing someone from his past, and all the more enthralled to hear that they wanted him to stay with them, even if only to keep in touch or to keep track of, Dib wasn't sure.

"You should know by now Dib- human that Zim knows all about your paranormal obsessions, and is even granting you access to his labs, so there's no need to hide that from Zim. Although it did bother me in the past when you spied on me, I won't look down upon it now since we will be living together." This was all stated mater of factly as Zim hoisted his hands upon his own hips, tilting his body to the side as if to say, Duh, that was a stupid thing for you to be worried about. But Dib quietly shook his head at Zim's mistaken thought's, knowing that explaining to the alien about his nightmares and panic attacks without actually telling him about them was going to be hard and complicated, so he just decided with a heavy heart to tell the alien what he would be getting into if he let him stay in the house.

Stepping back from the alien a little more, Dib hesitantly began to remove his black hoodie, getting it over his head and then tossing it lightly to the floor. Then, ever so slowly, Dib began to remove the bright red shirt that clung tightly to his body, revealing more and more of his pale alabaster flesh to the alien before him.

Zim stood stock still as Dib began to undress, confused beyond belief on why the human was suddenly taking his clothes off in front of him and trying desperately to quell the sudden burning in his face.

But as soon as the shirt left the human's skin and he turned around, his back to the alien, did Zim finally piece together why the human never removed his clothes on the strip club stage. A slow burning rage seemed to boil in the invader as he stared at the being in front of him, lost for words as he realized that this, was what Dib was referring to when he said 'there were things he didn't want Zim to find out about him.' The longer Zim stared however, the more he wanted, no, needed to find out about what happened to Dib the two years he had disappeared. Even if the human didn't want to share, this gruesome new evidence pushed Zim past his own limits to just let whoever did this to get off without being brutally murdered and or tortured for the rest of their measly existence.

The Dib was going to tell Zim what happened whether he liked it or not. And the Dib was going to stay with Zim, because Zim couldn't stand to let the human go after coming face to face with this new and harsh reality the teen had been living in up until now. He didn't even care if Dib put up a fight, or how many inconceivable plots or mind twists Dibs brain had come up with that tolled him living with the invader was a bad idea. Zim, at this moment, was not going to let his human, his Dib, out of his sight, even if it meant getting on his own knees and begging for the human to stay. He was not going to let him leave.

**I don't own Invader Zim, but really really wish that I did.**

**Sorry again for the long wait, I didn't think it would be this long before I updated. I've just been riddled with problems since coming home from school and beginning summer vacation. My cat died during my graduation so that had me in the dumps for a couple of weeks and I couldn't find any motivation to write. And now I'm finding out that I have to move to Nebraska really soon for my master's program. Although I was happy to find this out, I've been killing myself with getting all of the paperwork handed in and lost track of the time. Thank you all who have been reading, and I hope you continue to write reviews, they really do make me happy ^_^ **

Chapter 5:

Zim couldn't help the look of horror that encased his face as he stared at the humans back.

What he saw there was a compilation of the suffering the Dib went through during his 2 year absence. Looking at his back now, Zim felt his rage begin to boil as he noted the many scars that covered plentiful alabaster skin.

The marks ranged in size and in age, donning themselves from white healed scars, to almost purple/ red scars that were still new to the skin, almost fresh. But what caught Zims eye during his scrutiny of the humans flesh was the largest scar that was right in the middle of the humans back.

The color of it was pure white, almost blindingly so. And the shape was something Zim couldn't figure out.

All the other scars looked as if they had been carved in, or even perhaps whipped, which Zim cringed at that thought. But the one in the middle had Zim walking closer to the mark, almost daring himself to touch it and feel where the flesh grooved inwards, outlining the scar.

To Zim, the mark looked like a large ball of fire, or even the blazing sun, with the way the scar held its shape. The fire like characteristics that came forth from the large scar gave the view of flames angrily attacking the skin and twisting around the humans back, colliding with the other scars and telling a story of horror and pain all at the same time.

Zim hadn't even noticed he was biting his own lip until he felt a small trickle of blood flow down his face, easily catching it on his sleeve and backing away from the human who started to turn around to face him.

"W-who did that to you Dib- human? Who marred your back like it was their- own carving board?!" Zim was practically livid as he started to pace back and forth in front of the human who only watched him, a small smile on his human lips.

"Why do you smile? This is no laughing matter! Now tell Zim who he must mangle and destroy in order to make this fair and even? Because so help me I will tear apart whoever did this if it's the last thing that I do on this wretched disgusting planet you call a home. I have half a mind to just blow the place up now, straight into the core and whisk you off in the depths of space where no- one can find and or hurt you ever again!"

Truth be told, Dib didn't expect the alien to get so angry for him to begin with. He simply figured the Invader would shout something like, (that's what you get for being weak and an unsightly human) not go on a rampage in the middle of his home because his enemy was hurt and scared forever. It caused the smile that spread across his face and he couldn't hold back the giggle that made it past his lips as he watched Zim kick some magazines across the floor as he was still in the middle of his tantrum.

Reaching out Dib easily stopped the Invader by lightly tugging on his sleeve, making him do a double take as the human continued to smile up at him, like it was the easiest thing in the world to do. And for Dib, it was the first time in the 2 years he had been gone that he allowed himself that rare genuine smile, if only to give it to his past enemy. The one who threatened to destroy him and the world in which they shared, to the now comforting being that stood before him. Dib wouldn't have believed it with his ears if he heard that Zim had grown up from his childish ways. But now here the Invader stood, confessing unheard of feelings which ranged from worry to an odd sort of companionship that the alien was willing to give. Dib couldn't help but smile because in his heart, he had longed to hear that someone cared whether he lived of died. To know that his disappearance was damaging to the Invader on a level so high it caused him to become angry over his hurt condition. Dib wanted to do nothing more in that instant than to say yes to anything the alien asked of him. But even in his state of bliss, Dib knew of his own downfalls that could potentially ruin his newfound friendship with Zim.

Dib wanted to trust the invader, wanted the warmth and the kindness Zim offered to him to be enough to settle his doubts and concerns about the future. To take away his fear of the unknown, something he used to love and strive forward to figure out. But it would take work, work for him to get over his nightmares and panic attacks, and work for the Invader as he learned to live with his new roommate. Dib didn't want Zim to see him weak, and he was scared that he may be thrown out because of it. But with the way Zim had been reacting towards him, Dib couldn't help the small amount of hope that buried its way into his chest. Squeezing his heart and stopping all of the questions he had been asking himself about whether or not this was a good idea.

Tightening his grip on Zim's shirt, Dib began to speak though his voice was quivering from the emotions rolling around inside of him. He was going to risk allot with his next sentence, but Dib knew that Zim was persistent, and if he wanted him to stay in his base, there were going to be things he had to know and to understand. But for the moment, Dib just let all his worries fly out the window as he gave himself over to risking it all.

"I'll, I'll stay with you, Zim, but there are things that you must understand, things that I need to tell you about myself, things that have changed since I've been gone, scars included."

Zim was pulled out of his tirade by the humans small grasp upon his sleeve. He had never seen the human smile like that! But what he didn't understand was why the human was smiling. He had just shown Zim the horrors of his past, the marks and scars that mutilated his perfect flesh and shattered his existence, only to smile at the invader, little doubt left in the human's eyes as he peered up at Zim.

Those beautiful golden brown eyes that had Zim swirling in them, almost wishing that his gaze never left his own. What brought him back however was when Dib started to speak, answering the question Zim had dreaded ever asking in the first place since it seemed to have frightened the human off.

Now Zim was left dumbstruck, staring at the half naked human in front of him with his mouth hanging slightly open, looking like a fool who just found a pot of gold, and didn't quit know what to do with it yet.

Slowly the information began to sink in and Zim realized the human had said yes! The human- Dib, his long lost arch enemy has agreed to stay with him! Although Zim was still slightly star struck at the information, he couldn't stop his own, wide mouthed grin that displayed all of his razor sharp teeth as he looked down at the human still griping his arm.

It took all of the Invaders will power not to jump onto the human and smother him with hugs right then and there. The excitement that flooded Zims system was so genuine, so strong, that he almost missed what the human was saying. For the moment, Zim didn't care, all he knew was that the human had agreed to stay with him, his precious jewel that he strived to acquire was now finally his and his alone. Scars be damned, the human was still the most exquisite being the Invader had ever laid eyes on. He would burn the vision of the scars into his memory, and destroy any and all who would dare harm the human now that Zim finally had him within his grasp. He didn't care how long it took for the human to be able to go back to normal, what's done is done, and the invader would help the human through all of his suffering. Zim would bear that responsibility within his heart, and keep the human safe, secure, and most of all, happy.

"Zim is glad that you agree to stay in the base! I was so nervous that you would say no that I started to regret asking you." Hanging his head low and averting his eyes at his earlier discomfort Zim continued. "But I do understand that there is much you and I as well must get through in order for this relationship to work out. Blushing at the word relationship, Dib shifted his feet nervously, still not wanting to release the Invaders arm yet, for fear that this still could turn out to be one of his many vivid dreams, albeit one of the rare nice ones. He worried that if he let go now, this Zim would drift away, disappearing before his eyes, leaving him all alone again.

Dib didn't want to be alone, and smiled a little more at hearing Zim was willing to work with him through all of his faults.

Moving closer to his now new roommate, Dib decided on another bold act, and hugged Zim once more, letting all of his insecurities drain away as he held onto the powerful green being before him. Whose eyes held fire and passion within their depths, threatening to swallow Dib whole lest he get too close. But Dib almost didn't care. For once in his life, in the embrace of his enemy, Dib felt so safe that it almost scared him how easily all his worries could be lifted away in a single gesture.

Dib would learn how to trust again, how to love again, all with the help of the former alien Invader known as Zim.

Zim on the other hand, was completely speechless at this point, slowly bringing his arms up to encircle the human, feeling as if a weight had been lifted off of his shoulders with the renewed contact of flesh on flesh.

The organ inside of Zim's chest that was similar to a heart, beat erratically, his squeedily spootch twisting inside of him, filling him with that butterfly feeling he was unaccustomed to. Squeezing the human more firmly to his chest, he could just slightly make out the feeling of the others heart beating almost in sync with his own. The light breathes that left Dibs mouth tickled the side of Zims neck, making his face erupt into a dark red blush, completely standing out from his jade flesh and ruby eyes.

Sharp claws sunk ever so slightly into human skin as Zim feels Dibs face nuzzling into his chest, human arms tightening on their own and griping the aliens shirt, wanting to continue with this moment forever.

"I'll protect you Dib- human, as long as you are in my care, no- one will ever harm you again. And if anyone even dares to try and oppose me, by tallest I will cut out their organs from their stomachs and strangle them with their innards putting them on display in the front yard."

Dib had to stifle another laugh as he listened to Zims words. Although he knew the threat to be true, he was happy just knowing that he was loved and protected. And for that person who showed him this protection to be Zim, Dib couldn't find anything in the world to be better than that. So with consciousness cleared, Dib let himself fall into the security of Zims arms falling asleep in his grasp, a smile on his face the entire time.


	6. Chapter 6

**Things Left Unsaid:**

**Chapter 6**

**By Glowzilla**

**Sorry for the long wait everyone, I've had one hectic month since coming to Nebraska to do my masters lol. I've had tons of homework that I'm only half completed with, and to top it all off, I have yet to find a job out here because I'm either over qualified, or underqualified for the position. It's been one stressful day after another, but on the bright side, I adopted an adorable Siamese cat and she has been keeping me sane throughout this whole experience ^_^. Thank you all for the reviews and I hope this latest chapter makes up for my lost time! I can't promise a weekly or even a 2 week notice for when the next chapter will be up, but please have faith and I'll try to catch up. Read and review!**

The first week of Dib's stay in Zim's base were, eventful, if you could describe it like that. The human and the alien on the first day Dib was to spend the night ended up having a fight about how much of Dibs belongings he was going to bring into Zims house. The alien had stated in a rather large huff that his computer could give him anything he so desired, and it would be better than any of the ratty clothing Dib had been living with up until now. ( Besides the stripper get-ups that dib owned for work), Zim wanted to give Dib all new things, and Dib wanted to keep his old ones due to emotional attachments to them.

It wasn't looking like a good start, and Zim was afraid of angering the human too much, so he made a compromise. Zim would accompany Dib to his old apartment and they would sort through all of Dibs things. What he really wanted to bring they would, and what he could live without they would leave behind. Dib seemed to take this offer gladly, but then felt slightly uneasy about Zim seeing where he lived.

Zims house for one thing was big and overall nice, like what you would find a high class citizen living in. Sure it wasn't a mansion, but it had its own type and style of class. Dib even remembers asking Zim when Zim had been showing him around the labs how he was able to afford all of what he had without any known job, or if he actually had a job and what it was that it paid so well. Zim had turned and practically laughed at the human for his serious face, and then laughed even louder for the blush that emerged on an angered Dib.

Zim had stated simply, "Since my Invader title has been taken away and replaced with permanent vacation, I was basically given a severance package if you will. That means that since I'm no longer working for them, but fired under unlawful means, AKA not given full Invader Rights to begin with, they decided to allot me those rights, in favor of me staying on Earth. My severance package was, I would be given the benefits of an Invader, without holding the title of Invader. It is quite screwed up in a way, but they really didn't want me to come back to my home planet, even if it meant paying me to stay on Earth, which is basically what they are doing." The last statement was said quietly as Zim remembered what had been told to him through the transmission. It made him sad to think that his leaders dis-liked him so much, but through his repeated playing's of his past mistakes, he could understand their desire to keep him away from Irk. It still hurt though, and the Invader was none too happy about his predicament. But now that Dib was here, Zim believed with the small amount of hope he had, that all would be good from now on. That is to say if they didn't eat each other alive every time they had a disagreement.

Dib and Zim both became worrisome about their future in the base together, and for an instant, almost backed out of the deal at the same time.

Slowly but surely things began to work themselves out, both human and alien finding a way to ease their problems and overcome a lot of their stubbornness for certain things.

But back to Dibs current musings, he was worried of what the Invader would think of his living arrangements, since he lived in a none too nice area, and a crappy apartment that didn't even have air conditioning. Through the entire time that Dib had been at Zim's he couldn't help but compare his living arrangements to that of his new roommate, and how much of a difference there really was to what he was used to living in. Although he was happy for the new home, he didn't want to let Zim see his old one, and almost caused another fight about how he could collect his things on his own and be back before 11pm that same night.

Zim to say the least was still upset about the Dibs injuries, or scars if you will, and could almost count the veins he knew were standing out on his head at the Dib being stupid enough to go out at this time alone, knowing he was vulnerable and, well, a weak stupid human…. Full of dead brain meats! To which Zim made very clear to Dib with the stomping of his foot and an unbreakable stubborn streak that wouldn't let up until Dib agreed to let him accompany him to his home.

In reality, it wasn't that Zim was worried so much for the human's safety, since he knew very well that the Dib could fight, it was more of his own fears bubbling up to the surface. It may have seemed possessive and kind of stalker-ish to anyone else, but Zim was afraid that Dib would back out or run away if Zim didn't keep him by his side. He wanted to protect the Dib, as well as keep anyone else away from him, leaving the human to him and him alone.

Zim knew of his possessive behavior, and was well aware of it in the past when he would claim something for his own.

To Zim, Dib in the past was his possession, his human to beat up, and his alone to destroy, no one else could do that. And when Dib was once beaten up by a known bully while Zim was away, Zim came back with a vengeance that could kill a person where they stood. He had clobbered the poor bastard into the ground, swearing in Irken at the audacity the human had of touching what was his and his alone to break if he so chose.

Zim still smiled at the memory of the kid crying all the way to the hospital, but felt something in his sqeedily spooch tell him he would do the same now. Only this time it was different.

Zim didn't see Dib as his possession, he wanted more than that, he could feel it in every fiber of his being, but he didn't know how to phrase it. It still stunned Zim that he could feel such emotions for the human, but was more than overjoyed that Dib returned them, or so he hoped. Zim was still confused as to what the human had felt for him, but in the smile that Zim could see Dib giving him when he got mad about the scars, Zim thought, maybe he feels it to.

It wasn't long after that first argument that Dib begrudgingly led Zim to his house, and prayed to every known God in the universe that Zim didn't make fun of him for where he lived, or so help him, Dib really was going to punch him. A small part of him was happy though that Zim came with him, even though he wasn't at liberty to admit that.

Dib had to be cautious in his own neighborhood and had to run away from a few fights that almost happened when he was coming back late from work. He even had several experiences like what had happened between him and the drunk customer that night before Zim had stepped in to help. He was a good fighter with one on one situations, but since most of the area was populated by gangs, Dib knew he probably wouldn't have made it to this year in his life if he had tried to fight everyone that threatened him. Dib learned, if you could handle it fight, but if you didn't want the risk, it was time to take the flight.

That was the moto that he lived by, but now he could feel that moto start to change with the presence of Zim in his life giving him a sense of security he never felt before. Dib wanted to say that he had felt secure at one point, but he didn't want to lie to himself. Zim had been his saving grace for most of high school, and during most of his stay in foster care, where he would imagine Zim coming in and rescuing him from that awful place. Even coming up with deranged ways of how he and the alien would get rid of their bodies, everything going up in flames.

The aliens existence helped keep Dib sane, and now with said alien offering his home to him, Dib felt safe and even cared for, even though it's by his former worst enemy.

Smiling to himself Dib seemed to snap out of his daze when he noticed the familiar path that led to his apartment and started to take Zim into the area, still a bit perturbed that the alien had stomped his foot of all things about going with him, but still feeling slight unease about what Zim would think.

As Zim looked around the new area they had walked to, he had already configured in his mind that Dib only lived 10 blocks away from where his base was situated, and if he had tried harder at looking for the Dib, would have easily found him allot faster than by just running into him by chance at a strip bar. The information that Dib was so close to him all this time had Zim scowling at himself, even more so now that he began to look at the surrounding area and where Dib actually lived.

It was quite literally a scummy neighborhood, and from what Zim was seeing, he was glad he was getting Dib out of there and into his home. Although the human may not trust him fully yet, he was sure the Dib was a lot safer in his quiet neighborhood than in this trash riddled garbage dump that housed more vermin than Zim thought he could withstand.

The building Zim concluded that Dib was "living in", seemed even worse off than the streets and rows of other houses that populated the area. Zim almost past Dib when Dib had turned to go in the door of the building, not thinking for a second that this was where he lived, but quickly corrected his mistake and continued following the human up the three flights until they made it to his apartment door.

Dib had caught Zims mistake of almost walking past the apartment building, and caught the look on Zims face, becoming even more ashamed of where he lived, but knew he didn't have any explanations to make over it. It's not like anyone else was going to offer him better when he first made it out on the streets. And before Dib even had a job he had to live in a homeless shelter for a while, getting his meals from the soup kitchen more times than none. He wasn't happy about the situation, but it was a better living environment than what he had in foster care, and he even met a couple of social workers during his stay in the shelters that helped him fill out applications before he found the job at the strip club. He even kept their names and numbers so he could contact them when he felt he had made a good life for himself. Which was part of the reason Dib wanted to get a couple of things from his apartment.

If he had let Zim have his way, he probably wouldn't have even allowed Dib to come back to the area, let alone leave his sights for the first couple of days they were establishing roommate agreements. But Dib ultimately won that argument, only backing down when Zim argued that he was going with him.

The alien could be really stubborn dib concluded, a small smile on his lips when he thought of how cute and frustrating it made Zim look to him.

Finally opening up the door to his apartment, Dib walked in a few feet and then slowly turned to look at Zim, fearing what the Irken was going to say about his home, but wanting to get the experience over with. More than willing to grab the things he knew he wanted, and leaving everything else behind.

Zim, from what he saw was quite aghast at what Dib had been subjected to, and wanted to state plainly that he disagreed with the way he had been living. But once Zim caught Dibs eyes, he knew to stay quiet, and decided to not engage the human in another pointless argument. He knew that it wasn't the Dibs fault he had to live like this, and was more than happy to help the human pack his things, which to Zims surprise was only a couple of shirts, a black trench coat, and a few documents. That and along with the outfits for work only filled three plastic bags and a backpack.

Zim instantly felt ashamed about the first argument, and wondered if Dib would forgive him for his rude and outlandish behavior. It may have been Zims nerves talking and not wanting Dib to leave for fear that he might run away, but Zim should have known that by cornering Dib would only make him wanting to get out that much more present.

Deciding to apologize once they had gotten everything packed, Zim couldn't help the light pink blush that dusted his face when he finally got the courage to do so.

"Dib-thing, Zim would like to apologize for my earlier behavior, and just wanted to let you know that if I ever act like that in the near future, just ignore me for like an hour. That normally puts me back in my place, and it will have given me time to think about what I have said to make the other so upset."

Dib hadn't expected Zim to apologize for the fight, since most of it was his fault for making it heated in the first place, but he could feel his chest tighten and warmth make it to his cheeks as he looked at Zims deflated expression.

"No its fine Zim, I probably shouldn't have overreacted when you said I wouldn't need to leave since you could get me anything I wanted, I just took it the wrong way since I've been living on my own for a while. I kind of feel like an idiot for lashing out at you, but please don't hold it against me. I gotta learn how to deal with things differently to, so me and you both have to start thinking about what were going to say next. I really want this to work out, and I'm not expecting there to never be any fighting, I don't think I could live without my normal Zim making a fuss every so often, but at least were on the same page when it comes to dealing with each other. There are things you have yet to learn about me, which scare me to death about how you'll react when you find out, but I'm excited about it too. And I want to learn the things about you that I have no idea about either, so please don't feel bad about that small fight, its not going to be the end of us." Chuckling softly, Dib added once he saw Zims face lighten up and a small grin to appear, "If we broke this deal over one fight, I don't think we were meant to live with each other, but I'm glad it seems were both stronger than we look."

Zim actually afforded himself a wide grin once Dib had cleared his doubts, and had more of a jump to his step once Dib had accepted his apology, adding in one of his own.

Two hot heads living together probably isn't the greatest mixture, but once the right components are leveled out, and the initial storm has passed, a calm can be welcomed with ease into a new home.

Dib looked back at his apartment for one last time before leaving with Zim, a shared hope forming between the new housemates as they made their way back into Zims cozy area, establishing their new lives together in the base, and ultimately forming a relationship that would become their whole eternity together.

Dib was excited, but knew this was only the beginning for them in the long run and as he thought more about it, his hand had unconsciously reached out, latching onto Zims arm as they made their way down the street. A bond had been formed that night, and with every passing day Did would be spending with Zim, he knew that slowly his nightmares of the past would leave him, and he'd be able to be happy with the Invader without fearing it was all just some dream his brain had concocted. It wasn't some twisted illusion, and Zim was really there with him, his alien who would without a doubt chase him to the ends of the world to bring him back, never leaving his side.

Zim had jumped a bit when he felt something grab his arm, but when he saw it was Dib, his spooch gave a lurch and he quickly hid his face away from Dibs gaze, knowing all too well that his face was a nice shade of dark red, going from the tops of his cheeks all the way down his neck. Dib could see this out of the corner of his eye and gave a small chuckle at the alien for trying to hide it, but didn't question it either, for his face was the same shade of red.

Getting up to Zims porch, the alien fumbled with his keys for a bit before he heard the soft utterance of his name, making him stop what he was doing to look down at the human, feeling the grip on his arm tighten as he focused his gaze into bright honey gold eyes.

Dib hesitated for a moment, unable to form a coherent thought on what he was doing, but as he stared into the fake lenses of Zims eyes did he make up his mind. His life was with Zim now, and that's how he wanted it to be.

Pink lips met with jade and Zim froze, eyes going large as he watch Dib move in closer, pinning him to the front door with his advance but Zim wasn't too far behind with that mentality. Quickly dropping the bags and keys onto the ground, Zim grabbed at the human turning him over so he had Dib pinned to the door, attacking his mouth just the same as Dib was attacking his. The heat in Zims head making it hard to think over the pleasure that pulsated through his antenna when Dibs tongue reached out, making contact with Zims lips. Zim groaned in delight and opened his mouth to let Dib explore his own, feeling the fleshy tongue of the humans run over his sharp teeth before tangling with his long segmented tongue, forming a sort of tug of war between to two beings. The heat of the make-out was intense, but just as soon as it started it was over, Zim pulling away from a flushed and breathless Dib, trying as hard as he could to get his thoughts into order. The way Dibs face looked, beat red and breathless, had Zim yearning for more but he withheld, mentally forcing his lower region to calm down, since the heat in his brain had awakened a more primal instinct Zim didn't want to face yet.

"L-lets g-go inside now Dib thing, I- I don't think the neighbors would like it too much if they witnessed this display out in the open, or something like that."

Dib couldn't help but stare at Zims face, noting the red and breathless look on it that almost mirrored his own, and smiled a little when something in his mind made a connection.

"Zim, was that your first kiss?"

Dib almost laughed out loud when the Invader known as Zim went a completely new shade of red, almost turning a deep purple color out of sheer embarrassment, his mouth dropping open and his eyes widening as he stared at the human, not knowing what to say.

Straightening himself out and trying to compose his face, eyes downcast a little as he thought about what Dib said the Invader answered. "Yes it was Zims first kiss, did I not do it properly? Was what I did not the same as the Dib thing?"

Dib couldn't help it he laughed, he laughed at knowing he got a completely clueless alien to make out with him, and now he was questioning if he did it right.

"You idiot" Dib answered, "I only asked cause you were completely freaked out when I first moved into the kiss, had it not been for you getting so worked up over the question, I'd have thought you were a natural. Great tongue movements by the way, couldn't even tell you were copying me."

Dib dint think the Invader could get any redder, but it seemed his whole skin tone took a leap right up there with the vibrant's. It was funny to Dib how he could make the invader so self- conscious, but he knew in the back of his mind that this would change their relationship from here on out, and he was ok with that.

Zim still seemed at a loss for words, but when Dib leaned back up, he caught the Invader in another chaste kiss, moving his arms up and around the taller beings neck, leaning his head on Zims chest, inhaling his scent and never wanting to let it go.

"I'm glad I was your first kiss Zim, that really means a lot to me." It was said with sincerity and Zim could swear his face was melting from how hot it had gotten, but he returned the kiss, feeling better about their new relationship, and wanting the heavenly feeling he got with Dib next to him to never end.

Untangling himself from around Dib with reluctance, Zim then scooped up the bags and keys he had dropped, moving to open the door, scooping Dib up along the way and carrying everything into the house. Dib had made a slight eeep noise at being picked up so quickly, but soon forgot about it as Zim entered into the house with him, whispering in his ear.

"Since Dib has been so kind as to give Zim his first kiss, how about I show you to your new room that the computer has been designing since our first leave." Purring slightly when he felt Dib shiver against him, Zim continued with his voice right next to Dibs ear. "I'm sure Dib will like it as much as Zim has enjoyed that kiss."

And with that Zim sauntered down the hall, a bright red Dib in his grasp as he showed the human to his new room and ultimately permanent home.

**Hope you guys like it, not much there with the romance but I figured I'd introduce it now so that you guys can see the gradual build up of how their emotions play out in the future. There is going to be a lot of Dib having nightmares, but I want that to be where his and Zims relationship starts to get intense, and ultimately where Dib really starts to trust Zim to help him, and he begins to open up to the invader, likewise with Zim opening up to Dib. I don't think its going to be a long story, but all the same there will be some dramatic scenes, and then if all goes according to how my brain works, a happy ending. Thank you all for reading, and hope you guys keep writing reviews, I really do like to read them, they make me smile. ^_^ Ideas are accepted if you have any! But until next time. **

**Things Left Unsaid:**

**Chapter 7**

**By Glowzilla**

**So, Hopefully this quells the wrath of everyone who's been waiting for my slow self to finally update…. It took longer than expected because I ended up having major homework in my masters class, and was working on the final term paper, all the while writing this story out while I was at work. I wound up writing it all in my notebook, and then started on another ZADR fic. while trying to finish this one. My life is infinitely crazy, but I make do with what I'm given LOL. Enjoy the latest update!**

Walking down the narrow hallway with Dib still in his arms, Zim couldn't help the small smile that played on his lips at the way Dib's face looked. Having successfully derailed the earthling's emotions in an embarrassed typhoon, he watched all the more as the human squirmed in his arms, his antenna picking up the accelerated heart beat and the release of chemicals throughout Dibs system. Zim found he liked the way Dib felt against him, and the way he smelled, even if Dib wasn't all too comfortable with the contact, Zim figured he'd get as much of it as he could before Dib demanded he put him down.

Dib to say the least was in fact truly embarrassed to be held against Zim like this, but in an odd way… he liked the contact, maybe even a little too much for he found himself snuggling ever closer to the green extra- terrestrial, hoping for the life of him Zim didn't notice his little coo of content as he gathered the heat from Zim into his own body, praying it wasn't too soon before Zim released him to stand on his own.

Trying desperately to calm his heart, Dib noticed when Zim seemed to pause in front of a door that, by Dibs inner workings calculated wasn't there when he first searched through the house. this must be my room, Dib thought to himself, all the while becoming excited all over again to see what the inside looked like, no doubt in his mind that the crazy alien had his room decked out with pinks, purples, and every shade of red imaginable.

Although Dib liked the colors Zim liked, he found himself inwardly cringing at the prospect of living in a cocoon of the frilly color during his stay in the house, and wondered if the alien would get angry if he asked to change the color. But enough on that, Zim was opening the door.

What Dib saw shocked him even more because he wasn't expecting it. His room contrasted so differently with the rest of the house, Dib found himself thinking once again if Zim had somehow transported them to another universe.

The carpet to the room was a brilliant baby blue, with inner mixing fabric work that held different shades of green, purple, and accents of darker blues that transfixed the gaze of anyone who stared at it. And to Dib, it almost looked like a puzzle that never ended with the way the colors mingled into each other, causing the carpet to look like a never ending wave.

But that wasn't the only thing that stood out to Dib as Zim gently placed him down so he could move about the room. The bed in the middle of the room held the same shade of baby blue as the carpet, only instead of the greens and different blues, it held the deepest shade of red possible, with light accents of purple so that the composition of the bed didn't outweigh the color scheme with its drastic color change. Everything seemed to flow together inside the room, nothing outweighed the other in brilliancy because it equaled one another out. Even the dressers with their deep mahogany wood vibrancy and rustic feel seemed to give the room that much more life and character.

Dib also noted that he too had a bathroom much like Zim's with the gigantic tub in the middle of the floor and a walk in shower to the side, but the granite that covered the floor and the countertops was a greyish blue with streaks of black and light pink going through it.

All in all, the room suited Dibs taste to a tee, and he had to wonder as he found himself sitting on the bed, how the alien knew him so well. But that seemed like a stupid question to ask now, since the answer seemed to pop into his head the minute he thought it.

Since Zim and I have been enemies for so long, always studying each other, always trying to one up each other, Dib thought, it would seem even weirder if Zim didn't know him like the back of his hand. Although at this point, Dib figured Zim knew him like the back the front and every cell in-between of both his hands, and probably his feet. I even bet Dib thought sarcastically, that Zims antenna probably know me better than I know myself at this point, what with them being able to pick up on emotions and the like.

I even bet those antenna are humming right now, since I can't seem to contain my emotions anymore.

In an instant, Dib jumped off of the bed and threw himself at Zim, wrapping his arms around that slim, muscular waist as he buried his face into Zim's exposed neck, inhaling the unique scent that was Zim as they tumbled into the unique carpet, Zim giving out a shocked yelp at the unexpected attack from the smaller human.

For almost a nano second, Zim had thought Dib attacked him out of rage or some other weird emotion that might have been tumbling around in the humans body. But as they hit the floor in a tangled heap, Zims antenna which had gone straight out of instinct, slowly started to settle as they began to assess the chemicals and emotions surrounding them.

Happiness, gratefulness, tranquility, eagerness, joy, loyalty, trust, that's what Zim felt as his antenna began to hum, drinking in the emotions the human was throwing at him in a jumbled heap, drawing him closer and almost falling into the depths of those emotions with the strength in which they hit him at.

Even his antenna seemed to like what they were feeling because they started to move over the boys head, feeling his soft hair and running along the sides of the boys cheeks at they tried to get closer to the emotions, almost willing themselves to take hold of the boy and hold him closer to drag out more of the delicious feelings.

Zim almost gave into the high of happiness the human was throwing at him, snuggling the human closer as he brought his own strong arms around Dib. That was, until he felt the wetness dripping down the side of his neck, falling lower into his shirt, leaving small little stains as some of the liquid went into his shirt and down his chest, giving him Goosebumps and shocking him enough to pull back from Dib, a mixture of worry and confusion written all over his invader face.

The Dib was crying and he didn't know why. Why, why now of all times to make the human cry it had to be when he thought he was making the human happy! Zim was so confused, the emotions running through his system from Dib still trying to give him that high but he did his best to push it down. Becoming concerned for the blubbering human he held in his arms.

"W-whats wrong! What happened? Are you alright? Did Zim do something to upset you? Whatever it is Zim will fix it, just please don't cry anymore!"

Zim was getting frantic as the crying only seemed to get more hiccuppy, the human struggling to gain his composure back while the Invader tried to figure out what was wrong. The whole scenario lasted a couple of seconds before the human was able to get his breathing under control, bringing his eyes sheepishly forward to fall on the Invaders face.

Even with his eyes still leaking tears, Dib managed a small chuckle when he saw Zims expression, quickly covering his mouth with his hand as he tried to explain to Zim he was alright.

Zim, misunderstanding the giggle grew even more confused, and scolded the human for it. "This is no time for laughing Dib-human! Now explain to Zim what has caused your eyes to never end with their leakiness!"

Having calmed down a bit more, Dib tried to explain to the exasperated Invader, still somewhat ashamed at himself for letting Zim see him cry, but told him his reasoning nonetheless.

"I was happy". A simple response yes, but one that confused Zim even more than he already was.

"I know what being happy means Dib- filth, and yes I could tell that you were feeling it, experiencing it myself through my antenna and almost being sucked in, but you were crying! That means you are sad does it not?"

"Haven't you ever heard of the expression tears of joy?" asked Dib with an upward quirk of the lips, his tears almost gone by now. "I wasn't crying because I was sad, I was crying because I was overwhelmed with happiness. It may sound weird but you really did make me happy Zim, you didn't do anything wrong, and I'm just a bit emotional because no one has ever done anything like this for me". The words were spoken sincerely as Dib tried to rationalize his behavior, trying to help Zim stop freaking out over something he thought he did wrong.

"What you did for me," Dib continued, taking Zims face in his hands as he focused his gold eyes onto shining ruby, "was ultimately give me a home, and make me feel welcomed in an environment I was scared to enter into".

"I'm so happy that I get to have this experience with you, the prospect of living here, under this roof, with my Invader, has caused such a massive wave of undeniable joy, it broke a damn I didn't even know I had built. And I can honestly say that I haven't felt this much happiness, or joy, or even a sense of calm inside of me for the two years, heck even my whole life, that I feel when I'm with you, right now."

"And I'm sure that if I hadn't seen you again, I probably wouldn't ever be this happy, no matter how hard I try".

That last part was barely a whisper but Zim picked up on it, his eyes so wide Dib feared for a moment they would pop out.

After a moment of just staring at Dib Zim spoke, a tremor to his voice as he tried to cover up his embarrassment from Dibs statement. Those words sinking into his heart and twisting his organs around in a way similar to how he felt when kissing Dib just moments ago on the porch. Only this feeling threatened to consume him and eat him alive if he didn't push the words out now.

"D-Dib- human, Zim feels, Zim feels…. Zim feels allot of things, and is not sure how to speak them well, but maybe through action, he can get the point across."

Dib felt his face grow hot at the word action and looked at Zim expectantly. Almost wishing whatever was coming to come soon.

And to his delight, it did.

Zim had inched closer to Dib almost hesitantly, trying to read his expression as his mind reeled with information, becoming flustered with how Dibs gold eyes seem to droop lazily. His eyelashes becoming a veil over honey optics, his mouth parted just so as his lower pink lip warbled delicately when Zim became closer, and closer still.

Breath mingled with breath as Zim let his ruby eyes focus on Dibs, his antenna becoming increasingly aware of a new emotion running through the humans system, hitting his own emotional filter at full force. The shock of this new emotion hit Zim so hard with its intensity, he instantly became lightheaded.

This feeling was so new, so fresh, so raw in its true form, Zim couldn't hold back as he delve head first into the inevitable.

Emerald crashed against pink this time around, and the feeling was complete and utter bliss.

Zim couldn't hold back the small moan as he felt the human move his lips against his just as fervently. Tongues crashing against each other, the taste of Dib all around him threatened to drive him insane with the intensity.

Forcing the human down against the plush carpet, Zim couldn't hold back as he ground his hips against the squirming teens, wanting to feel the soft pink flesh and relishing in the squeak he was able to pull from the others mouth. Feeling the humans moan vibrate on his tongue as he wrapped it around the humans pink fleshy tongue, forcing them to dance as he dominated the human in more ways than one.

Roaming claws soon found the end of Dibs shirt, pushing the material up to allow him room to explore the vast territory of his once past enemy, feeling the humans flesh heat up as his claws danced airily across pink skin. Zim soon released Dibs mouth so alien and human could catch their breath, all the while Zim was easily overtaken with want as he looked at the human below him. Face flushed and breathing ragged, shirt pulled up to his armpits as the Invader straddled his hips, grinding his lower region into Dibs once more, making Dib yelp and moan all at once. The human's arms reflexively grasping onto Zims tight shirt as he felt the Invader lower himself on top of him. A long segmented tongue slithered out of Zims mouth and ran along the humans throat, coating it in hot saliva as his sharp teeth bit down on the squirming human, capturing the sensitive pocket of skin as he suckled just under the pulse point. Fingers still roaming over the human chest soon came in contact with something that was new to the invader.

Dib couldn't stop the moans and the squeaks Zim was pulling out of him every time he felt the Invader bite down on his skin. His brain was going crazy with how the feelings and sensations were moving around him. He wanted it to last forever yet, in the back of his mind, Dib still felt a small amount of fear for what was to come next if this continued.

Thoughts were soon derailed as Zim latched his green lips over a pert rosy nipple that stood taught against the flamed flesh. Suckling harshly as Dib instantly cried out, grinding his hips upwards as his back arched off of the floor, pressing Zims mouth ever firmer onto his skin.

Sharp teeth grazed over the nipple help prisoner in his mouth as Zims other hand came up to pinch the other, feeding off of the ragged breath hitting his face from the convulsing human below him, making him suck harder, wanting to hear more of the moans fall from those rosey lips.

Dib was loosing his mind, he wanted so bad for it to continue, to feel Zim all around him, inside of him, to give himself over to the Invader, but this was all moving to soon and too fast for him to handle.

Moving his hands up from Zims shoulders, still feeling the invaders teeth move over and around him, sucking and biting at different areas on his chest, Dib was able to grasp Zims head, moving up from his eyes to the top of his head where he felt the divot at which the antenna sprouted from. Still panting harshly from what Zim was doing to him, Dib moved his fingers lightly over an antenna, grasping where the antenna started and stroking upwards, instantly stilling the invader.

A shudder ripped through Zim as he felt soft fingers along his antenna, the reflex to rip the sensitive feeler out of the grasp instantly quelled as pain was not the feeling he got from the contact. Far from it, in fact, that simple touch caused so much desire inside of the Invaders body, he instantly bent into it, wrapping his arms around the being below him as purrs started to bubble up from within his throat, mixed with groans of approval. His hips slowly bucking as he gave into the feeling of Dib rubbing one of his sensitive organs, heat pooling in his lower region, mind going blank from the pleasure.

Dib startled a little by Zims body going ridged, continued to rub the feeler, getting a guttural groan from the alien as he griped harder at the antenna, feeling Zims hips buck onto his and awakening his own lower region, feeling Zims already hard member rubbing against his through their pants.

Face becoming heated at what he realized he was doing, Dib rolled so he was on top of Zim, trying to calm himself down while he listened to Zims vocalizations, his body still moving against Dibs as he tried to gain more friction.

Dib soon stopped rubbing Zims feeler and moved away from the Invader who was now sprawled out on the floor, legs slightly parted and face flushed a deep red, breathing ragged and eyes half lidded, segmented tongue slightly sticking out from parted, tantalizing green lips.

The sight had Dib almost crawling back into the Invaders touch, wanting to hear him moan and wanting to feel Zim move against him, but knew that he couldn't continue so fast and so soon, so he stayed seated on the carpet, cooling himself off while he waited for Zim to come back to reality.

Zims mind still felt flushed, but when the heat he was clinging to disappeared, he found himself awakening to realization that much faster, noting the absence of Dib who was in his arms, to the uncomfortable feeling the heat between his legs was giving him.

Noticing Dib sitting a short distance away from him, Zim pushed himself into a sitting position, looking slightly hurt from the supposed rejection and feeling ashamed at how he had caused the human to react.

but before Zim could get enough wit to apologize for something he thought he did wrong again Dib butted in.

"You didn't do anything wrong so let me stop you there. And I can tell by the look on your face you think you misinterpreted my emotions but you didn't." Dib looked at Zim to make sure he wasn't going to interrupt him, and when he didn't he continued. "I'm still new to this, you and me both, and I want to be in this with you Zim, I want to have this kind of relationship, but, it's just moving too fast for me. I know I sound like a chick, but please understand that I have a lot of obstacles to get over before I want to become intimate with anyone, and I don't want my feelings to be half assed and undecided when it comes to this. I'll get there, I promise you I will, but until then, will you wait until I'm ready to go into the next step with you? Please Zim?"

It was a lot to ask of the Invader, Dib new that, but he couldn't rush his feelings, and what he felt for Zim he knew to be love, but he wanted to get over his past before he decided to get into a relationship. Dib couldn't imagine his life with anyone else besides the Invader who sat before him, but before he started anything new, he had to get rid of his tainted past, so that in return it wouldn't taint the new feelings he was forming. It would be hard work, but with Zim's help and support, Dib knew he could get through it.

Zim, having sat quietly throughout the explanation, finally let out the breath he had been holding. True to what Dib had said, Zim really did think he did something wrong and was on the verge of apologizing and running out of the humans room to go hide somewhere in the bowels of his base while he struck his head against a random wall repeatedly for being stupid. But with each word that Dib let fall from his lips, Zim could feel a sense of calm and understanding wash over him as he took in the humans explanation, letting a small smile grace his lips, face still holding a firm blush.

So Dib wasn't rejecting him, just asking him to wait until he got his feelings sorted out, which on all counts, was fine with the Invader. He would wait for however long it took for Dib to be ready for the next step, and let that notion show in his eyes when he locked them with Dibs.

Zim still felt stupid for becoming engrossed with their earlier activities, but knew his actions were forgiven when Dib didn't outright object him, still, he tried to apologize, looking away slightly from the human who had yet to pull down his shirt, and instantly crossed his legs when he felt a tingle of need run down his spine.

"Zim understands fully well what Dib wants and need, and Zim is happy to oblige, but he is also sorry for how fast he reacted to the situation, and would like to apologize for putting Dib into a situation he was still somewhat uncomfortable in, and hopes that Dib will forgive Zims rash behavior".

Dib at this point still felt bad that he was asking the alien to wait, and had turned his face away from Zims, but hearing that Zim was happy he wasn't rejected and willing to wait, had Dib smiling stupidly all over again, catching his eyes with Zims as they shared a look of understanding.

Grasping Zims hand with his own the human whispered out a small "Thank you" letting his fingers intertwine with Zims as the alien Pulled them both up off of the ground.

"Sleep now human, its late and you have much exploring to do tomorrow as it will be your fist day in the labs. I expect you to be well rested and ready to learn where everything is and how you will be able to enter into the area on your own when I'm not around got it?"

Suddenly Dib was excited again, the ability of going into the labs overpowered his earlier embarrassment, and he scrambled to give the invader another hug to show his approval for the subject change.

Zim was happy he could bring the earthling joy, but had to hold himself out a ways from the hug, for certain parts of him were still sensitive, and if he chanced anymore contact between him and the human, he wasn't sure if he could control himself.

Soon earthling and alien parted for the night, Dib giving Zim another chaste kiss before closing the door to his new room, getting ready for the long road ahead of him with his new, and soon to be, lover/housemate.

Zims thoughts much on the same level as he headed to his room, right across the hall from Dibs.


	8. Chapter 8

**Things Left Unsaid**

**Chapter: 8**

**By Glowzilla**

**Sorry this is late guys, been busting my hump trying to get school work done and writing more stories at the same time. Multitasking doesn't really work too well for me when I'm stressed. Anyway, here's the latest update, hope you like it! Read and review please! They always make me happy when I see them.**

The first week of Dibs stay in his new home passed by like a blur. Most of the time was spent with Zim showing Dib how to get into the underground labs without being exploded by the computer, to which Gir decided to use himself as an example and let the computer blow him up.

Gir actually came back to the base during the first night of Dibs stay, and ended up scaring the shit out of Dib when Gir bounded into his room at 2 in the morning with a bag full of tacos that he ended up spilling on Dib and ruining his pajamas. Needless to say, Zim yelled at Gir, Dib yelled at Zim and Gir, and then Zim showed Dib how to use the shower.

What a great first night Zim thought bitterly to himself. The Dib is not a happy person when he is woken up, I'll have to keep that in mind the next time Gir decides to do something stupid. And with that fiasco out of the way, Zim went back to bed, dragging Gir with him so that he wouldn't disturb the human anymore.

Soon Zim had shown the human the entire house and had even scanned Dib's DNA into the system so that he could move about the house freely and without disruptions. The process was easy enough, but both Dib and Zim ended up spending more time in the labs because the curious human wouldn't stop asking questions and wanting explanations for what everything was. Zim found it humorous, and explained all that was around them. He even took Dib into the planetarium he had built after he saw one in a human museum. The invader had scoffed at what he saw based on the human's knowledge, and decided he would build a bigger one and it would be better too.

Needless to say Dib was impressed and absolutely loved the planetarium Zim had built, noticing the difference in size right away as they made their way into the large circular room.

The room itself was painted bright white along with the ceiling with its large dome structure. Little black dots dotted the ceiling and the floors and walls, giving it a speckled sort of look upon first notice. In the middle of the floor was a metal plated platform connected to a pole that went from the middle of the ceiling and through the platform straight into the floor.

Zim led Dib to the platform, once both were on Zim took a remote out of his pocket and pressed a big red button, the platform instantly moving upwards, startling the human as he swayed a bit and grabbed Zims arm for balance. Once they were in-between the floor and ceiling, Zim pressed another button and the floor began to move, dropping lower and forming into a dome shape like the ceiling.

"Now watch this human" and with another press of the button, the lights went out, the room going pitch black for only a second before lights began to move across the walls. Stars started to form and move with the lights, colors lighting up the surroundings as galaxies came into view, planets moving in and out across the domes shape. A 360 view presented to the human as meteorites flashed by, going around the beings in the center of the circle.

It was a magnificent color display that captured the human, not being able to move fast enough as he watched other planets move across the screen, planets that he could name from his years of studying Zim, and others he was just seeing now for the first time. And when a rather large galaxy began to move across the screen, Zim hit another button so the lights shifted. Now instead of just being on the walls, the galaxy looked as if it was coming towards them, moving around them and encasing them in its brilliance. The dust storm the galaxy had going on inside of it seemed so real, Dib instinctually clung to Zim tighter as it passed by them, but then realizing it wasn't real and blushed with embarrassment when Zim asked if it was too real for him, chuckling lightly when the human turned away from him with a slight pout. Not at all mad, just embarrassed, but still enraptured by the magnificence of all he was seeing.

When the display was over the lights turned back on and the platform descended back onto the floor just as the floor was done straightening itself out so that it was flat once again.

Turning to the human as they made their way to the door, Zim couldn't help but give off a smug smile when he caught Dibs eyes, both of them making their way into the lift that would bring them back to house level.

Leaning in close to Dib while in the elevator Zim couldn't help but ask, letting all of the smug in the world leak into his words. "Impressed with Zim hmmm?"

And Dib couldn't deny it, blushing lightly, "Yeah I'm extremely impressed with it Zim, I've never seen anything like that in my entire life. Not even the I-Max theatre could make what we just saw as impressive as that. Or as real as that. I never knew you were capable of doing something like that. Not that I thought you weren't smart enough to do it, I just never imagined you would create something like that, and for what purpose did you make it for?"

Blushing lightly for the praise Zim answered, " I made it for myself to enjoy. Human entertainment does little to entertain me, so when I got the idea for the planetarium from the museum, I combined it with my knowledge of space, movies and computers. The whole room is a very large computer screen, with added high density pixilated light blasters that give the effect of the objects on the screen coming out at you. That's what I turned on when the large galaxy turned up. It makes the view all the more spectacular."

"Well it impressed the daylights out of me that's for sure. How often do you use it?"

"Pretty often, it's the only room besides the lab further underground that's soundproof. I go in there when my antenna get too stressed out from picking up all the noises outside and inside the house. Since they grew longer they pick up more variations of sound, and it drives me crazy sometimes. So I go down there to the planetarium and relax, give myself a light show and add in a couple of more planets when I remember too."

"So it's not just a computer screen, but can act like a computer too?"

"It can be a movie theatre as well, I also installed a DVD player when I got some videos I liked from other planets converted. Now I don't get bored if I don't find anything on the internet. And it's nice to use when I plan on sleeping down there on days the noise gets really unbearable. But it doesn't happen too often."

All this information just seemed to intrigue Dib all the more, a new found respect for the alien's brilliance worming its way into his brain. Zim really has changed, Dib thought to himself, and couldn't help but smile lightly knowing the change made him all the more appealing to the young human.

It was now a Thursday, Dib had off from work and Zim stepped out of the house for a little bit to go buy groceries and to run some errands.

Dib was, of all things, bored. Even in the gigantic house with all of its alien materials and rooms of entertainment, Dib was bored.

Without Zim here the house just seems empty and lonely, I wonder how he was able to do it for so long. How was I able to do it?

Dib soon found that by living with someone, even for only a week, the aspect of loneliness made him feel uneasy, and wanting to be back together with his house mate.

I guess living alone can change a persons views when they start living with people. Dib could remember a time when all he wanted was to be alone, chuckling at the thought because if he had to live alone again, he couldn't even imagine how depressed he would become.

But now, Dib needed something to do, but what? The house computer took care of all the cleaning, although Dib was able to get it to stop cleaning his room. He didn't mind that the computer made his bed and picked up his clothes every day, but on days Dib wanted to sleep in, he would get up from bed to use the bathroom, only to come back to find his bed had been made, and he'd have to take it apart again.

"I guess I could rehearse for the upcoming Christmas special, since the boss wants us all to have a new dance by that time anyway, but where can I get a pole to use without Zim knowing or finding it?"

Looking up to the ceiling Dib hesitantly called out, "Umm, Zim's computer?" "**Yes, what is it?" **"Would it be weird if I asked you to make me a pole that I could dance on, connect it to the floor so it doesn't fall, and then hide it when Zim gets home? I don't want him to know about me practicing my moves in the house, cause he'd probably ask to watch."

Blushing from asking, Dib awaited the computers answer when he heard a hissing sound coming from the living room.

There just in front of the couch a metal pole came down from the ceiling and securing straight into the floor. A monitor came down as well with a CD/I-POD switchboard for music, and a control panel for when Dib wanted the pole to retract back into the ceiling.

"Wow that was fast" said Dib looking at his new training equipment. "**Master Zim has already asked that I prepare something like this for you in the event that you would like to practice dancing in the house. He has even ask that I upload some new fighting techniques into the monitor if you wish to incorporate some of them into the dance, since most of your dancing is your old fighting style. I do hope that you find this useful, and if you need anything else, please don't hesitate to ask."**

Dib, meanwhile was stunned beyond belief with a blush that could have rivaled any tomato and his mouth wide open.

"T-that, that perverted alien! I can't believe he already had this made! It's only been a week! What…. Did he think I was just gonna dance for him or something? Oh my God I can't believe him." But wait, Zim doesn't know I know about this yet. Thinking to himself Dib paced back and forth around the pole. If I use it while he's gone, and then put it away when he gets home, he'll never have to see me dance, and I don't have to tell him I know about the pole set-up. Perfect!

With that settled, Dib got his I-POD from his bedroom, and after changing into a pair of tight yoga pants and a clingy white tang top, Dib began his routine, even looking at the fight styles Zim had uploaded for him, studying them while he choreographed a new dance.

While Dib started his routine, he couldn't help but think he forgot something crucial, which was, as his addled brain forgot to remind him…. He needed to ask Zims computer to alert him when Zim came home, so that he could put everything away before Zim even entered the house.

Figuring he'd remember it later, Dib started his dance, testing the pole lightly to make sure it was secure enough for him to hop up and down on. The last thing he needed was a broken leg a few weeks before Christmas.

And since Dib never took off his clothes, he decided he'd do a longer routine, including more flips and twirls on the pole so as not to bore the customers. Dib didn't like to brag much, but he knew he was a good dancer. His body had indeed filled out as he aged; gaining more muscle in places he never knew muscle existed. That and with his short black hair and bright gold eyes made him exotic in a way.

Being skinnier and more flexible that some of the women dancers, Dib found that by giving his fight moves a bit of a spin and using a pole to help with some of the more difficult moves, he was a great and appealing exotic dancer, just without the no clothes aspect.

Dib was in the middle of his routine, a combination of a turn spin, his leg hooked around the pole and a twisting movement that propelled him around the pole, swinging gracefully to the floor where he turned his body quickly, hand coming down first before he dislodged his leg and rolled, pausing to look at the screen where one of Zims moves was being demonstrated.

Contemplating how to add that in while listening to the music that was playing, Dib completely missed hearing the door open and Zim walking in.

Zim all the while was carrying groceries and didn't look into the living room where the music was coming from, instead going into the kitchen to put the food away, thinking Gir had plugged his music into the stereo and was just running around to it.

Getting the food put away, Zim walked down the hall, away from the living room in search of Dib, thinking he was in his room reading or something along those lines.

Holding up a DVD Zim had bought while at the store he entered the humans room ready to ask if he wanted to watch it tonight inside the planetarium. But before the question even came out, Zim found that the human wasn't in there.

Looking around some more, even going into his own room and the bathroom, Zim made his way back out to the living room, preparing to use the main elevator next to the Large TV in front of the couch to go to the main lab.

But Zim wasn't expecting what he found as he stopped in the doorway to the living room.

Dropping the DVD he had been holding, Zim watched as Dib moved around to the music, a dreamy yet contemplative look on his face as he formed the dance over and over in his head. Working the moves out on and around the pole, unbenounced to him that he had an audience.

Deep dark and red was the color of the blush that made it to Zims face, his mind telling him that he should turn away and let Dib have privacy, but his eyes and body not agreeing so well with it, instead just staying put and watching the private show in front of him.

Oh god he's hot, thought Zim franticly, mind diving as he watched Dib go into a particularly lewd position, legs spread as his knees bent, arms holding onto the pole and bending his body backwards, eyes fluttering flirtatiously before cognition hit.

Gold met with ruby, Dib still in his position while Zim just stood there looking flustered.

Then finally,"Zim!? H-how much d-d-did you see? Y-your back early, thought I'd be done before you got home." Trying quickly to right himself and turn off the music, Zim still just stood there looking flustered, listening to Dib ramble and watching the blush on the pale human grow quicker and get darker as it added to his already sweaty body.

Noting how his eyes traveled with Dibs body as it moved, like it was calling to him, wanting him to touch the skin to see if it was moist like the light sheen of sweat perspiring on it said it was.

Without even thinking Zim said the first thing that came to him when Dib finally got the music off.

"Again"

**Things Left Unsaid**

**Chapter 9:**

**By Glowzilla**

**Merry Late Christmas, Happy New Year and hope y'all have been having a wonderful winter break! Oh, and merry Greek Orthodox Christmas to those like me who celebrate it! Hope you guys like the update. And if I make it back to my school alive tomorrow, I'll post another chapter as a bonus Christmas gift to all you faithful readers. Enjoy ^_^**

"Again"

The word revolved around Dibs head like a fast pace merry-go-round, and Dib hadn't the slightest idea of how to make it stop or how to get off of it.

He was stunned, speechless, aghast. Any number of words could describe how that one word from the alien made Dibs cheeks heat up to a shade of red that rivaled the color of blood spilt fresh from a wound.

Dib stood stock still as Zim stepped towards him, ruby eyes locked with brilliant gold as he neared the embarrassed teen, cutting off his escape as he raised an arm above Dibs head and grasping hold of the pole that now wedged itself against Dibs back as he tried to back away from the nearing Invader.

Zim was so close now, his eyes a hungry lustful tint as he felt the radiating heat from the body in front of him. Could feel the sweat and pulsing of the humans heart as his antenna reached forward and flitted gently through black unruly hair.

The vast array of delicious smells Dib was giving off seemed to assault Zims senses, leaving him breathless as he tried to steady himself. The slight upward peak of pheromones Dib released from their close proximity did a number on the invaders antenna as well. Making his body move even closer as he tried to ingest as much of the feelings being thrown at him up into his brain.

Body taking over mind, Zim had a minor thought of how much his actions may have started to scare the human. Knowing full well that Dib didn't like to be cornered and that's exactly what the alien was doing. Although his brain seemed to be locked onto a different target as he focused on his steady breath mixing with Dibs. Feeling the air from the human mingle with his own, Zim greedily gulped down the oxygen being shared as he stared into tinted gold, the human unprepared for Zims next statement.

Leaning closer to the still unmoving human Zim made sure to add a hiss to his words as he spoke again.

"Let me see you move for me."

The request was full of undisguised, greedy lust as the invader took up a more prone position around Dib. One hand moving off of the bar to grasp at an exposed pale waist, sliding the tight tank top up enough so he could feel the bulge of a hip bone. Moving his clawed thumb in small teasing circles around the area as he waited for Dib to gain back the ability to speak. A smug look crossing Zims features for making the human so flush.

"Must I repeat myself human? I asked for you to dance for me. Surely that shouldn't be so difficult considering you dance for an audience almost every night." A wide smile cut into Zims face as Dibs eyes shifted away from him. He knew he was probably pushing it, but this was too fun. And by the looks of the human, he was either going to run away or become stubborn and defiant.

Either way, it was worth a shot.

Finally Dib managed to stutter out between pale pink lips a hitched breath response of…. "W-why s-s-should I d-dance for you? I-I'm still mad about you already h-having a pole ready and w-waiting for me. D-did you think I was going to dance for you or something if, if you asked somewhere down the road? C-cause your crazy to think I'd give you that privilege!"

Dibs breathing had become erratic with his outburst, emotions becoming defiant as he tried to school his features to become upset and domineering. He wasn't about to let Zim get away with that question, although to be honest it had really caught Dib off guard.

Even before he lived with Zim, he had never been asked to do a one on one performance for anyone. Sure some of the ladies at the club would get riled up by his dancing and ask him for a private party, but that was still him just dancing for a group of women and in their own private section of the club.

He didn't know how to react to Zims sudden advance and demand for him to dance for him. Sure he liked.. (well maybe love is more accurate), loves Zim, and knows that Zim is the only one who has seen him…. As in all of him… emotionally and physically, but was it too soon in the relationship to allow the invader this type of view?

Dib knew that when he danced, he let all of his emotions out with his moves. Let the music take him to a place where only he existed. He felt pleasure and excitement in allowing his body the ability to move as it pleased to a beat and rhythm that never left his system. To Dib, dancing meant freedom. And he loved it as much as he feared it.

This freedom was gained when he let all of his facades fall away from his body, leaving him bare and exposed to the world even without removing his clothes.

Of course when he danced for the crowds of people, he didn't have to worry about them noticing his exposed ire, because that's not what would be catching their eyes. His moves provided a thick black curtain around his emotional state to which that would be the only thing noticeable. Why worry about what my face eyes and body language is saying or rather screaming as I let myself go, when all they can concentrate on is how perplexing the dance is. How I can incorporate fighting into an art known for its grace and tranquility. How I can make even the deadliest moves seem intimate and forbidden to those who watch.

To open himself up so much in front of just one person left Dib feeling scared. Especially when that person asking is none other than the invader who no more than a week ago professed his feelings of love and adoration for the teen.

It left Dib gripping the pole behind him as he tried to think of a way out, to escape what Zim had asked him to do. But it also left him somewhat excited.

Dib had in fact idealized the idea of dancing for Zim somewhere down the road, even though he was still mad at the invader for preparing the pole for him in secret, deep down he knew he wanted to dance for Zim, but was he ready to?

Was he ready to open himself up to the invader so much? Even after only a week of living together?

What if he showed some troubling emotion, what if Zim became uncomfortable with his dance because he opened up too much. All these things plagued Dibs mind and had him fearing the consequences of Zim not liking his dance and ultimately throwing him away.

Though if he counted the way Zim had been staring at him during his practice dance, he would agree that Zim would be anything but unhappy with him. It still brought upon unpleasant inquiries he had to himself and to Zims feelings for him.

But Zim wasn't willing to back down so easily. He saw the look on Dib's face, knew that he was trying to escape, and he wouldn't have it.

"I'm not going to make fun of you if that's what you're thinking, I just really want to watch you dance." Easing his stance a bit Zim met Dibs eyes again, "You know for a fact that I love you, but I can still tell that you're afraid to let yourself go in front of me, that you think I'm going to push you away if I see something I don't like about you."

Now that caught Dib off guard. It was almost like Zim had read his mind, and he couldn't stop the tremble of his spine as a shiver coursed through his body, finally noticing Zims hand on his hip as the pleasant touch helped him relax his pose against the pole.

Zim was right of course, he was afraid of what Zim would think of him, but the way the invader had said it had Dib questioning himself.

Maybe he overthought it, that he made himself worry for nothing, but that didn't stop the nagging sensation in the back of his head that told him he was undesirable to someone as perfect as Zim.

Zim who was flawless, jade skin rivaling the smoothest of marbles. A picture of perfection.

While Dib was flawed, his skin telling a story of hurt and torture that still plagued his mind. It would turn Zim off if he were to see me when we are intimate. Even if I did dance for him, the clothes I have on wouldn't hide any of the marring on my back, he would still be able to see it.

Ugly.

Imperfect.

Flawed.

Those were the words inside of Dibs head. They made his chest squeeze tightly in pain at his own faults. His fears always getting the better of him. Stopping him from living a life free of worry when the one person he wanted to impress could possibly become disgusted with him.

He wanted to be with Zim, wanted to dance for him. Defiant attitude aside, Zim meant everything to him. If he screwed it up, he didn't think he could go on living knowing he destroyed the one thing in his life that made him happy.

Seeming to hear the argument in Dibs head as his antenna picked up on the distressed emotion Dib was displaying, Zim emboldened himself and reacted the only way he knew how, or how he thought would be the correct way to respond to a lover in distress.

Dib was shocked yet again as Zims lips descended onto his. Molding around his mouth and moving against him Dib felt his heart jump in his chest. Eyes becoming half lidded as Zim pressed into him. Ridged tongue taking on a mind of its own as it forced its way past Dibs pink lips, wrapping around the humans fleshy tongue and making it dance with it.

Breathing hitching once again Dib couldn't stop himself as he wrapped his arms around Zims neck. Letting the invader take control as they shifted closer still. Somehow remaining upright as the pole gave them leverage.

Breaking away for air Zim leaned his head against Dibs, focusing his ruby orbs on lust tinted gold. "Don't be afraid Dib- human, Don't be afraid of me. Let me see who you truly are…. I don't want you to hide from me!" managing a breath Dib licked his lips. "If- If I do dance for you, you promise….. Promise not to turn away from me? even if you see something that my expression will betray to you? even if I look weak? will you sill watch me?"

Dib couldn't help it if he sounded weak, desperate even, he just knew that if Zim was willing to keep his eyes on him, to not look away from him as he exposed himself to the invader, then Dib would willingly do anything for him.

"I wouldn't have asked you to dance for me if I was just going to turn away from you Dib-thing. Like I said, you have nothing to hide from me. So let me see you in all your Dibness glory as you dance, I don't think you could disappoint me even if you tried." With a soft smile Zim slipped out of Dib's hold, backing just slightly away from the flustered human as he tried to gain back his bearings.

With a slight pause Zim added, "So human, will you dance for the almighty Zim, or do I have to pester you until you say yes?"

Dib gave Zim a petulant look, but considered his question and after a moment of thought answered with a smug smile of his own. Gold eyes turned slightly deviant as he answered with a simple, "Only if you dance with me."


	10. Chapter 10

**Things Left Unsaid**

**Chapter 10:**

**By Glowzilla**

**Hey everyone hope you all had a good weekend. Sorry this took so long, I was originally going to post another chapter on Sunday, but I lost my internet connection for a couple of days, it was really annoying and I almost killed the people who work for Windstream lol. It took them maybe 2 hours to figure out I had a shitty (excuse my language) modem, and then they said that they didn't have anyone available for another couple of days to come out and fix it because they had to replace the whole thing. But now that it's all fixed, I can happily say that I will be posting another chapter tonight after work, and to thank you all for dealing with me and keeping up with this story! Thank you again for all the reviews, I really love them! ^_^**

Now it was Zims turn to be stunned. In all actuality he hadn't counted on the human to even remotely come close to accepting his 'dance for me' offer. He was going to back down the moment the human looked like he was going to punch him. But now all that aside, Zim couldn't seem to stop his own deep crimson flush from splashing his cheeks, even managing a choked garbled sound as he tried to answer Dibs statement.

Seeing the delay in Zims response and noticing his flushed face, Dib pulled a bold move of his own.

Hitching a long slender pale leg up, Dib wrapped it around Zims waist and pulled him forward while simultaneously gripping the pole in one hand and cupping Zims cheek with the other. A sultry look washed onto Dibs face as he moved his body flirtatiously against Zims, making sure to grind their hips together, allowing himself a small pleased groan as he amused himself with Zims reaction.

Ha! Serves you right stupid alien, making me feel all flustered, let's see how you like it!

And with that Dib moved again, this time taking Zim with him as he used momentum to knock Zims body back, almost dropping him to the floor but grabbing firm hold of his arm as he lend his body over the immobile alien. Using the pole again as support he moved the leg around Zims waist down until it locked behind Zim's knee, making him lower to the ground slowly as Dib sprung back into position. Keeping his leg locked around Zims knee, he brought his other leg up and around the pole, still keeping watch on Zims eyes and trying to hold back a laugh at what he saw.

Zim didn't know what to do, he couldn't move, too preoccupied with the way Dibs expression took on a feral sort of dominance Zim had never witnessed before. He was locked in on those bright gold eyes, trying and probably failing to not show the multiple emotions playing across his face with a sorry attempt to look indifferent as Dib lowered him onto the floor. His legs now parted and rested on either side of the pole while Dib stood between them, one leg still hitched in the air as his free arm that was once holding onto Zim released him and moved up to his head, twirling a finger around an antenna.

Zim couldn't hold back the slight moan that fell past his lips as Dib fondled his feeler, still trying how to not look so embarrassed and how to turn his predicament around. Somewhere in the back of his head, Zim knew he liked it, liked being manipulated by Dib in this sort of way. The earthling always knew how to get him going, although the way in which they normally acted towards each other had shifted greatly, Zim was aware that his prolonged lust for the boy had been abated simply because he had not yet known what emotions he was experiencing until Dibs disappearance. Now, looking into honey gold eyes and experiencing that same mutual lust from Dib with his antenna, Zim finally admitted to himself that he liked this much more than the fighting.

And although they didn't need to fight anymore, Zim couldn't hold back his own smile when a deviant thought crossed his mind.

The Dib did ask for the almighty Zim to dance with him, what better way to do it than to incorporate two entirely different fighting styles into Dibs new strip dance.

Holding back a chuckle Zim waited until Dib was in the right position to make his move, he only needed one opening and then Dib would be his.

Dib had seen Zims expression change, a strange light hitting his eyes. He knew that look, had read it before, and to be honest, he wanted it. that look that said something was coming, a look that said he wouldn't be able to escape once that move was made.

Zim wanted to fight. It was so apparent it almost made Dib laugh out loud, though he was better at schooling his features than Zim was. Right now Dib was in his element, and he'd be damned if he let Zim catch him off guard.

Playing innocent in this game he knew Zim couldn't wait to play, he made the opening Zim had been waiting for, moving around the pole so his attention was away from the invader, the attack was coming before Zim could even get off the ground.

Zims movements were swift but Dibs were faster, already planning the counter attack once he felt a claw wrap around his shoulder from around the pole. Swinging himself gracefully Dib moved into the warm touch of the invader, could feel the pulsing of his heart in his ears as he moved with Zim, closer yet placing the pole in-between them so Zim couldn't gain leverage.

There was no malice in Zims eyes, but Dib already knew that, could feel it in the aliens touch. This was not a fight about rivalry or hatred anymore, but of sheer desperate want and lust for each other. And Dib couldn't have been happier to comply, but this time, he would win the fight.

The earthling knew he was coming, had seen his movements and caught him off guard once again, attack being nulled by Dibs swift counter movements.

Zim had attempted to counteract Dibs movements with a restraining move on the first lunge, immobilizing the human against the pole so Zim could gain the lead in the next move. But to his surprise Dib had already seen it coming and was prepared, Zim however was not.

Moving fast against the pole, Zim now standing in front of it, Dib moved out of Zims grasp to catch the pole with both hands, sliding himself up against it and wrapping both legs around Zims waist, pushing Zim firm against the pole while Dib began to slide slowly down it. Simultaneously moving down Zims body but leaving him standing in order for him to watch him as he moved. Loving those deep ruby eyes running along his body, his expression that of a hungry man starved for three days. And Dib was the main course. The only one who could sate the aliens hunger, and the earthling reveled in it.

Not allowing Zim enough time to counteract, Dib slipped into a split along the floor, one leg coming up along Zims foot. Curling his leg Dib managed to lock Zims knee, making him kneel against the Floor as Dib moved in front of him, twirling his body against the pole, making sure to sway his hips right into Zims face as he gracefully squatted in front of the once again stunned jade creature.

Music playing in the background Zim couldn't seem to make his brain perform properly in order to counterattack. The way the Dib- creature moved, it was just… just sinful. His expression having taken on a knowing look that Zim had seen countless times before when they fought in the past. Fire burned in those amber orbs as Dib came face to face with the alien, expression just oozing that familiar 'I win' tone.

But Zim was a proud Irken soldier, even if he was banished from his homeland, he was still a noble elite and he would not be the one to submit first.

This time Zim moved and Dib didn't have time to counteract. Moving fast on spry feet Zim moved up from his kneeling position on the floor grabbing Dibs arm in the fast movement so as to twirl his body against his own. Moving so that Dib was now locked from behind against Zims lithe form, his arm held securely against his chest gripped in Zims strong hand.

Chest pressed against the pole Dib rolled his head back too look into Zims eyes, catching a glimps of ruby before Zim moved him again. Breath coming in fast shallow gasps Zim moved back from his position against Dib, twirling the earthling again as he used the pole as momentum to push the both of them around it. coming to a halt so Dib had his back against the pole. The arm in Zims grasp was moved so that Zim had it clutched against the metal, moving his own jade leg up and around the humans hip as he bent his head into the humans neck.

Letting his breath ghost across pale flesh and feeling the human tremble against him, Zim unleashed his tongue from within its confines to roam against pliant skin, swathing where the pulse point beat hard, and allowing himself a chuckle as Dibs breath hitched and he tried to wriggle away from him.

Zim held firm though, and wouldn't let Dib get away so easily, his form firm against Dibs as their middles moved against each other, pushing into one another as Zim began to suck on Dibs neck, nipping and licking his way lower across the expanse of skin. Getting a taste for the earthling as Dib began to let out a stream of squeaky moans and needy whimpers as his whole being began to shake.

Zims other hand seemed to take on a mind of its own as it began to move down Dibs body, pulling at the tight tank top the human wore so as to push the material up and allow him access to that body he has been starving for all week.

Claws moving lightly against slightly flushed pale skin, Zim could feel how his touch affected the Dib. Could feel the expanse of his ribs as his fingers traced over his chest, moving across the flat toned part of his stomach and then up to where he could feel his heart beating erratically underneath the flesh. He loved the way the Dib moved, his vocalizations, the slight hitch in his breth when he gasped as Zim explored him. He wanted the Dib, he wanted to dominate him in more ways than one. Wanted to continue his exploration of his body and mark it as his own.

Only one thing was stopping him and he wouldn't continue unless that nagging question was answered and put behind him.

Dibs mind was reeling, Zims hands were roaming all over him and he briefly wondered when he had stopped trying to win this little fight they had going. When he had stopped trying to resist Zim as his hand was released from against the pole, his body pressed more firmly against the other as Zim began to mark his neck in shallow bites and long swaths of alien saliva applied to any bite marks that bite too firmly. Bruises where already forming across his neck but he couldn't find it in his mind to care. The way Zim was handling him, moving against him was all just too much stimulation against his already hot and bothered body. Couldn't hold back the short gasping moans he released for the touches were too sweat, too right, they all had him wanting more, leaving his body to thirst for more of the stimulating touches he was receiving.

Allowing his body to move on its own Dib glided his arms around Zims neck, moving on sheer desperation and want for the invader, Dib brought his face right up to Zims. Capturing his lips in a hungry heated open mouthed Kiss. Allowing his tongue to flick against jade lips and reveling in how they opened for him, letting his tongue take in the taste of Zims rare alien saliva, getting that segmented tongue to dance with his flat one. Want was an understatement, Dib needed Zim, in a physical and mental way he needed him. Zim kept him sane through all the years he was called crazy. Through the years he was in the foster system with his abusive foster parents. Through all the nights he laid awake in the measly hobble that was his bed thinking and fearing an oncoming fight was going to happen. For all the nights he didn't sleep and all the days he tried to survive without completely going insane, he thought of the invader. Zim was all he needed, all he wanted, and he wasn't sure why it took him so long to realize that.

Zim offered him protection, comfort, and freedom, but most importantly, Zim offered him the one thing that he had been desperate for in the beginning of his life.

Love.

That's all Dib ever wanted, and here Zim was offering it to him, lavishing it upon him and showing the human his most intimate feelings. That Dib was all Zim needed as well. That after the first moment Zim caught sight of the other in the club, had watched his entrancing dance and confronted the drunk patron, Zim had known that he wasn't going to let the other go. He had finally found his human, his precious jewel that he couldn't live without.

Their bodies seemed to move in sync with one another as they desperately tried to get closer, mouth's hungry for a taste of the forbidden fruit they denied themselves of each other. Bodies proclaiming more than they could ever explain with their words.

Stopping to catch their breaths Dib allowed himself a glance at Zims heated expression and nearly melted from the desire so plainly written on the others face.

Words were not needed for Dib knew his expression mirrored Zims in desire, but Zim seemed to be battling himself, a question in his gaze as he searched Dibs eyes for something he could not quite identify.

"Dib human," the words came out breathy but unwavering as Zim brought his hand up to cup Dibs face, making sure he stayed eye level with him. "Dib, you know Zim wants you, a lot if I am to speak truthfully, but Zim can't help but to remember the last time we found ourselves in this predicament." Moving closer yet still keeping a firm grasp on the humans face Zim whispered the next part, making sure his intentions were known. "I am willing to go as far as you let me, am willing to stop whenever you say stop, command me as you may for I am yours, but I must know if my advances are warranted in our current situation. All in all what I am asking you Dib human, is if you want me to continue, or to back off?"

Floored by the question Dib could feel the heat rising in his already flushed cheeks. Of course Zim would remember that at a time like this, but he did commend the invader for being tactful. It definitely made Dib pause in his actions his heated body wanted to partake in. Made him remember why he had told Zim he wanted to wait to begin with.

But looking into Zims eyes, his body and his mind knew that he had the answer all along. Sure there were still aspects of his life he wanted done and over with before he started a new relationship, but even if he took years to get over them they would still be there in his past memories. Would always be there when he looked over his shoulder or turned a corner. But one thing would stay solid in his life, would help him work through all the evil his memories plagued him with, and would give him all the love that rivaled his own burning passions for that singular being.

Zim.

He would always have Zim, and to Dib, that was all he needed in order to answer the question that burned in the invaders eyes.

Closing his arms around Zims neck and steeling himself for what he was about to say, he brought his lips close to an antenna and whispered lightly, "Zim, you can take me, because I've always been yours space- boy."

**Things Left Unsaid**

**Chapter 11:**

**By Glowzilla**

**Ok you guys, I'm not going to bore you with a long sad story and I am sorry that this took too long, but to put it simply we had a death in the family, and I sort of hit a depressed writer block and just couldn't write the next chapter. I'm in a better place now, and I'm happy to be writing again, but if my writing somehow became sucky, don't hesitate to tell me! I love criticism and feed off of it. Whatever I can do to make my writing better just let me know ^_^ I also love reviews! So send me as many as you can along with helpful tips! Until next chapter.**

Heat.  
Passionate, frenzied, crazed, glorious heat that engulfed the invader as he attacked Dibs mouth. Forcing their bodies together as he tried to focus on where he was and what was going on.  
The Dib had said yes. Said he could take him, to claim him for he was already his.  
Zim felt those words reverberate through his entire being. Felt them to the core of his stomach as he ran his clawed fingers over Dibs heated smooth skin slick with sweat.  
Pressing himself closer to the human so that his back was trapped up against the pole. Dull nails racked against jade flesh as Dib moved with Zim. Mouth opening to allow that prehensile tongue with raised ridges glide into his mouth and wrap around his own fleshy tongue. Squeezing gently as Zim moved. Stepping away from the pole but keeping his lips locked with the human. Pack legs extended and swiftly but gently wrapped around Dib, easily lifting the human up and into his arms.  
Dib gasped sharply at feeling himself being lifted. The cold metal of the limbs against his heated flesh had him trembling in Zims arms. Wrapping his legs around Zims waist and clinging to his back with his arms laced tightly in a death grip around the aliens neck.  
Bright gold eyes smothered and hazy with lust gazed down at liquid fire that held the same ferocious desire in their depths.  
"Z-Zim.."  
Bringing their lips together in another kiss, Zim didn't let the other speak, instead using their bodies to talk for them.  
Zim easily maneuvered through the house, Dib still wrapped in his embrace as he traveled down the hall towards the jade creature's room but stopping right at the threshold of the door.  
"Dib human, would you..."  
Whispering in his ear, Dib seemed almost in a daze, trying to come out of his heated passionate frenzy to concentrate on what Zim was saying to him.  
"Mmm.. Haah w-what?"  
Red eyes filled with fire locked with gold as Zim spoke again. "Would you... Would you like to continue this in my room, or in yours?"  
Again Dib was dumbstruck. Not wanting to stop in what their bodies rubbing together was making him feel, but also noting that Zim probably didn't want to continue with Dib feeling uncomfortable in a room he was rarely ever around. And by the look on Zims face, he wanted to continue what they started. Dib wouldn't have been too surprised if Zim had begun to continue their excursions right there on the living room floor. It was thoughtful, and Dib found his face heating up more as he stared at his invader, almost shyly, and answering softly, leaning closer to Zims antenna so the words wouldn't be missed.  
"L-let's... Continue... In.. In your room Zim. Please."  
The last part was so quiet Zim almost missed it, almost, and once the answer was given Zim was on the move again.  
A growl mixed with a pure ripped out of Zims throat as he kissed Dib again, this time harder, nipping his pink bottom lip with sharp fanged teeth as he carried the human with him into the room. Kicking his door shut in one swift move while tossing Dib onto the large deep red bed. His pack limbs unfurling and helping lift his shirt up over his head while his antenna lay flat against his skull.  
Dib watched as the creature before him began to undress, a hungry feral look in his bright ruby eyes.  
Using the pack limbs he crawled across the large expanse of the sheets to where the human was positioned against the pillows. Hands clenching into the sheets as he tilted his head back. Body arching under the invader as the metal limbs seemed to cage them against each other.  
Jade lips met the skin of Dibs neck, nipping lightly with his teeth, drawing blood to the surface as he suckled.  
Dib moaned at the contact, hands clenching harder into the sheets as Zims tongue set to work in soothing the mark he had made. Moving down his neck to where his tank top gave a peek of exposure to his chest.  
Zims hands never stopped roaming as his mouth made short work of another hickey at the base of Dibs collar bone when his hand and pack limbs together began to move Dibs shirt up and over his head.  
The jade flesh of Zims chest met with Dibs toned pink skin, causing Dib to gasp sharply. Pitch rising in his voice as he moved his arms up and over Zims broad shoulders. Breathing becoming erratic as Dib noted the differences in their muscle structure. Scientific part of his brain turning on for a brief moment to appreciate the differences. Then the more horny part of his brain turned on to tell him he loved the way those taught muscles moved above him. How they could easily hold him down while the invader pounds him senselessly into the sheets. A stirring in his groin tells him he's not unwelcome to that idea. And it was looking more and more like a possibility as the pack limbs moved around them. Simultaneously pulling clothes from their intertwined bodies while still holding up the appearance of a cage enclosing around them.  
Dib felt his body grow hot as he watched the way Zim moved over him. His stance almost predatory as those sharp talons moved down his body. Running lightly over an exposed nipple before Dib felt one of the hardening buds be encased by a hot wet heat that had his voice calling out unbidden and wanting. Chest pressing up into that sinful mouth as it worked on him.  
"Aahhhh! Z-Zim!" Biting his lip to keep himself from screaming his own hand roamed over Zims head. Remembering from last time and going on instinct, Dib lightly lifted one of the feather soft antenna. Rubbing the end between his digits he brought it over the top of Zims head towards his lips.  
Zims body shuddered violently as his feeler was touched. Instincts telling him to back up but before he could, he felt his back began to ripple. Goose bumps lifting on his arms as the touch became pure feeler was placed along side a flat silken organ that ran along the length. Dib having put the tip of the antenna in his mouth and moving his tongue gently over the appendage, smiling lightly through his busy lips at the guttural groan of approval from the alien.  
Moving his tongue harder over the feeler Dib brought his teeth down gently along length of the sensitive appendage, earning a squeak from the dominant alien above him. Zims mouth stilling from his work to try and catch his breath. "Nnnn... D-Dib human not so.. Not so hard, Zim can't... aahhhh!" Breath hitching as Zim tried to gain his voice back to make words, hips bucking against the human, rolling fluidly against Dib as his pack limbs lifted to start removing his pants.  
"Aahhhh Zim!" Dib panted as those hips moved against him, feeling his lower region begin to awaken as he gripped Zims shoulders, momentarily forgetting about the feeler as he felt the spider limbs move, beginning to remove Zims pants and boxers.  
Curiosity kicking in, Dibs gaze fell lower past the pants being removed. Feeling the tight muscles of Zims legs moving out of his pants and against Dibs still clothed legs. Dib didn't know what he was going to see as his gaze fell in between the invaders legs, but it was what he didn't see that had him give pause.  
"Umm Zim... Y-you don't have a, you know... A male part.. Do you?"  
Sitting back on his legs Zim followed Dibs gaze and gave a small smirk. Pulling the human up with him he lay back with Dib positioned between his legs, letting his pack lean against the pillows as he spreads his legs for Dib to see more clearly.  
Dib felt the heat rise within him as Zim laid under him, exposing his most private parts for Dib to see and explore.  
"I have male parts Dib human, but let's see if you can find them." A devious smirk spread across Zims lips as he watched Dibs flustered expression grow confused and then determined.  
Dib didn't think his face could get any redder than it already was, but as he leaned closer to Zims special area, he thought his cheeks would start melting.  
True Zim did have the necessary parts for mating, but unlike Dibs human species where the organ was exposed daily, Zims species kept theirs inside a hidden pocket within their skin. Zims organ was already hard and throbbing for release, but he was willing to wait to see what Dib would do to get it to come out.  
Claws clenched into the sheets, threatening to tear the silken fabric as Dib leant his face closer to the untouched area, hot breath hitting deliciously close to where the hidden opening lay.  
Dib to say the least was a bit confused. The skin around and between the area where a male part would be located was flat and solid. There wasn't even a slit or an opening to give a hint as to where the opening began or ended.  
As his breath hit the taught green skin, out of the corner of his eye he caught how Zims claws contracted into the sheets, watched his smooth flat chest rise with a quick intake of breath. Dib looked up to see Zims face thoroughly flushed a brilliant maroon, his eyes half lidded as he tracked the humans movements.  
Pulling a bold move, Dib lowered down more to that special area, arms moving up and under the invaders legs as he held them in place while his pink tongue slowly extended from his mouth, lightly probing the skin and earning a groan from the invader.  
Smiling now gaining confidence, Dib began to lick and suckle the skin in and around that special place, feeling the skin give slightly as he pressed a little harder with his tongue at a certain area.  
"Ngh aahh! Dib!" Zim couldn't hold back his moans as the human moved against him. Feeling his legs begin to shake as holding his member inside him began to become more and more impossible with the stimulation Dib was providing with that tongue. The way that organ moved should have been criminal as it coaxed his overheated flesh. The feeling of the outer skin giving slightly and rubbing just at the base of his member had Zim arching his back. Having moved his hand to fist in Dibs raven locks. Moving through the silken strands as the last of his resolve gave way when Dib lightly bit a pocket of skin he was sucking on.  
With one last exhaling moan Zims skin and body took over. Dib backed off long enough to catch his breath when he saw the skin start to give on it's own. The top layer that had been fused closed began to slide back, revealing an opening that wasn't there before. That opening pulled back a bit as well, allowing a bright red ribbed phallice to extend outward towards Dib, already hard and leaking a pink viscous fluid that dripped onto the sheets.

"Holy! That thing's huge! How the hell did you hide it in there?" Dibs expression became shocked as Zims male genitalia made itself known to him, forcing its way out of Zims body to stand at attention in front of the flabbergasted teen.

Taking a slow, steady breath as his member extended outward, Zim became aware of the human questioning him again. Feeling slight pride at how the size was the first thing Dib seemed to notice, not that his penis was bright red, ribbed, and leaking a pink fluid instead of a white fluid that humans leaked.

"All Irkens, male or female have a hidden area for concealing their genitalia. The area won't open if the Irken is not aroused or willing, which makes rape on our planet obsolete. It's very useful in battle situations, we don't have to worry about damage being done to an area that is never exposed." Now that it was exposed however, Zim noticed he felt slight discomfort at it being fully extended. Noting that it had to force its way out instead of simply gliding out, a tell tale sign that this was Zims first time too. His face flushed at the realization until he noticed Dib was outright staring at it.

The expression Dib wore was concerning to Zim, and he worried if the human even wanted to continue. He had a fair knowledge of what sex between males entailed, and knew that he and Dib were compatible. But it was the humans first time too, he was willing to go as far as the human wanted, even if that meant just jacking each other off.

Still though Zim could feel his want for the teen eating away at his insides, he wanted to be one with the human, wanted to share this bond between them, wanted to dominate the raven haired teen and make him scream until he released. Calling Zims name the entire time.

But with the way Dib was looking at him, at his fully engorged member, Zim couldn't help but feel Dib was put off by the sight. It had Zim wanting to close his legs out of embarrassment, and he almost did out of reflex though Dib still had his arms wrapped around his legs, holding them open.

"D-Dib, if you don't want to continue, if you think this.. we are moving too fast…. We can st- Ahhh!" his sentence was cut off by what Dib had done next.

Zim definitely hadn't expected it, and it made his legs shake more to the point of vibration as his pack hummed loudly, back arching off the bed as his antenna shot upwards. Gathering the scents being given off from the teen as he went down on him, pulling as much of Zims member into his mouth as he could until it hit just at the back of his throat. Not wanting to gag Dib lifted off a little bit, but still was able to move accordingly with Zims size. Feeling the ribs of the member glide across his tongue, thinking it felt much like Zims tongue. Only these ribs were raised, while Zims tongue had indented ridges, making the effect a little different.

"Mph.. D-Dib…" Zim moaned out, fisting his claws in Dibs hair as the teen began to bob his head, gathering more and more of the member into his mouth as he swirled his tongue around the tip. Tasting the pre- cum Zim was releasing and noticing that he enjoyed the taste. It was sweet, much like Zims saliva, but had more of a tang to it, like a pineapple, or a star fruit.

Dib could feel himself becoming aroused at the way Zim called out to him, hearing his gasping breaths and watching that body move to his ministrations on his member. Zims eyes were so dark now, hazy and filled with emotions he had never felt before. This was his first ever blow job, but he couldn't help a nagging thought in the back of his head. Dib had said he was a virgin, said that this was his first time, so how…. how was he so good at this?

Zim was so close to release, so close, hips moving in sync with Dibs movements but he forced his body to still. Moaning a little at the loss of friction as he pulled Dibs head up to meet his eyes.

"D-Dib human, who else have you done this with?! How are you….. how are you so good at this? Is there someone else? Hmm? Because so help me if I find out you've done this with another I will personally rip their organs out! And I don't care how long ago it might have been, I'll still go through with it!"

Feeling his head being lifted Dib instantly released the member, letting it pop out of his mouth as he came eye to eye with the invader. He was expecting more or less a kiss from the alien, not a hot heated threat of some imaginary person he did this with a long time ago and how Zim was going to destroy them. It had Dib chuckling involuntarily which only deepened the scowl on Zims overheated features.

That stupid alien could be cute sometimes, giving him the compliment of being good at this made him smile up at the invader. "I haven't done this with anyone else Zim so chill, you don't have to go exacting revenge on imaginary figures just because it feels good."

Zim didn't look convinced and he gripped Dibs face with both his hands as he looked him straight in the eye, pulling him closer to him so that Dib was tipped over Zims body. "You lie, there's no way you could be this good for someone whose done it for the first time! What are you hiding dirt child Hmm? Tell Zim!"

Still smirking at the invader Dib let a sensual look cross his face as he leaned closer, almost brushing his lips with Zim as he spoke. "If you must know Zimmy, I figured out I was gay a long time ago, back in middle school if I'm remembering right, and I looked up how gay men have sex. I won't go into detail, but I ended up buying a dildo and practicing on it. So if you're going to exact revenge, you're going to have to look through the city dump to find it."

Zim was speechless, not expecting Dib to say that, his eyes had widen to the point they looked like they were about to fall out, which caused Dib to laugh out loud, giving Zim a quick kiss on the lips to placate him as he tried to get them back on track. "I guess it paid off right? You didn't look like I was disappointing you in any way if what you were saying before you stopped me was true." Smirking more at causing Zims face to flush a deeper shade of red, (if that was even possible) Dib slyly reached back down to grasp Zims member, running his hand up and down the length as he pumped a little faster, wanting to watch as Zim released, loving the control he had over the invader at this point in time. all the noises that Zim made, every squeak, every moan and twitch of his antenna had Dib becoming increasingly hard inside of his yoga pants. Watching the way Zims eyes squeezed shut, hips moving into Dibs hand, the pink fluid leaking from the tip coating the length and making it easier to stroke had Dibs mouth watering. Zim couldn't seem to hold back any more, the pleasure was rippling through him, lavishing his body in a mixture of heat and adrenaline. He was so close to release, the pleasure filled sounds escaping his mouth were filling the room, mixing with his labored breathes and Dibs panting right onto his cheek.

Seeming to notice that Zim was ready to careen off of the edge, Dib brought his mouth over an antenna. Running his tongue over the length before forcing the tip of it with his tongue into his mouth, suckling harshly as he pumped harder.

"AAHH! Dib! I-I'm going to Ngh!" Zims vision went white as he tumbled over the edge. The feeling of his antenna being suckled and his member being pumped at the same time had him coming all over himself and Dib. Coating their stomachs in the sticky pink fluid as Zims labored breathing became the only noise filling the room. Dib leaning his lithe body over the slumped invader, smug smile playing across his lips as he watched Zim calm down from that extraordinary high.

Watching Zims chest rise and fall rapidly Dib couldn't help but ask, "So almighty Zim destroyer of dildos….. how was I?"

**Things Left Unsaid**

**Chapter 12:**

**By Glowzilla**

**Happy Easter everyone! Sorry this took so long, I have two of the hardest classes this semester and I've been killing myself with trying to get chapters posted and trying to work on papers for class at the same time. I almost posted a research paper in place of chapter 11 the last time I updated, that was close, but I would have loved to see those reviews lol. Anyhoo, a couple more chapters on the way, but I make no promises as to when they'll be up, I think you all know this by now, but I suck at deadlines. Till next time! read and review ^_^**

Zim couldn't remember a time in his life where he had ever felt like that before. His mind and pack were still reeling from the stimulations the Dib human had provided to his unused member, and he could feel it still twitching from the euphoric after math he had just experienced. It scared him about as much as it exhilarated him. He wanted to feel it again, but then he remembered something.

Looking up at the human who was hovering above him, Zim lowered his gaze to the human's pants, noting the bulge that was making itself known in between his still clothed legs.

Voice shaking a little Zim did his best to answer the humans question, though he didn't know how to describe how much or how good that had felt to him. Better than good it was amazing, he had never felt or been touched in that way before. All of this was new to him. "Zim feels… Zim feels really good, like I can conquer the world, but in a different way. I- I don't know how to explain it, you made me happy." Bringing his clawed hand to rest on a bright pink cheek Zim met Dibs eyes, "But aren't you uncomfortable Dib human? You did not get to release or feel good like Zim has." An idea started to form in Zims head and he let a wide grin move on to his features as he pushed Dib back into his earlier position, resting in between Dibs parted legs Zim released his pack limbs and brought them up to where his hands rested on Dibs hips. Easily tugging at Dibs tight yoga pants and pulling then down to expose an area he had never seen as well.

Dib yipped in surprise and tried to cover himself up but Zims pack legs were faster, moving to spread Dibs legs as Zim inspected the uncharted area of his one time foe. Doing as Dib had done and leaning his face close to the unusual looking member, Zim found himself realizing why Dib had exclaimed earlier about Zims member being huge. Although from Irken standards Zim knew that size didn't matter among their race because many were about the same in length. From a humans standpoint however, Zim really was huge. And since his member was ribbed too, it just added to its size and bulk.

While Dibs member on the other hand looked like a fat mushroom, Zim figured to Dib his member probably looked like an angry red drill. Which had Zim wondering again if Dib would want to go any further than just jacking off. He really didn't want to hurt the earthling, it would destroy him if he wasn't able to bring pleasure to the Dib as he had done for Zim.

Prodding lightly with his claw Zim watched as the tip of Dibs member twitched lightly, the small opening on the head beginning to leak that white fluid and dribble down the shaft. Dibs breath hitched at the feel of those claws on his member, slowly trailing down the length, making his chest rise and his body became overheated as he watched the invader. Feeling a sense of déjà vu coming on as he studied Zims reaction to his hardened bulge peeking at Zim from between his spread legs.

Dib could feel an even darker blush forming as Zim inched closer still, head bent down while puffs of hot breath hit the tip.

Giving a shuddering gasp, back arching off of the bed Dib tried to remain in a sitting position while he watched what Zim was going to do next. Mind becoming fogged, eyes glazed over and arms trembling, it was all he could do to remain in that position.

That was, until Zim did the unthinkable.

That long, pink ridged tongue slipped from between Zims lips, ghosting over the tip of Dibs member, before lapping at the liquid seeping out of the head.

Dib couldn't hold back his gasp of pleasure at how that soft movement made him feel. "Ahh! Z-Zim!" moaning and panting, clenching the sheets between white slender fingers, the invader lowered himself until his lips were at the top. Parting ever so gently and moving over the head, Zim was able to taste the Db as he lowered himself on the human. Being careful not to let his teeth hit the shaft as he slowly swallowed the human, easily encasing the hardened erection of his mate, hearing the human's voice call out unbidden with want.

The humans hips jerked as Zim began to bob his head up and down, taking more and more of the member into his mouth, feeling the tip just at the back of his throat.

Dib couldn't seem to hold back his voice, any time Zim went down on him he about screamed, that wicked tongue moving in ways that should have been illegal. It tightened around him, dragging him into that mouth and gripping him when the invader went up and then down, the movements complimenting each other.

Dib couldn't hold back as he began to thrust his hips, not being able to control the movements of his body as pleasure coursed through him. The pack legs still had his legs sufficiently spread so the movement of his hips wasn't completely lost on Zim, however the invader was becoming more and more aroused by the second. Dib was moving in the most lovely way, he couldn't stop the smile that spread on his lips, moving his clawed hands forward and easily capturing a nipple, tweaking it lightly and delighting himself in the moans and squeals of pleasure the humans was making for him, him and no one else. This human was his, and he was showing the invader this in the way he moved, the way he called out for Zim, it was immensely pleasing.

And Zim couldn't get enough.

Zim could tell Dib was close to release, his hips were jerking uncoordinatedly and his back had arched further onto the pillows, full pink lips wide as he tried to scream out but nothing left his mouth. Only the panting, chest heaving, nails biting into fabric, legs shacking as euphoria rushed around him.

And then Zim stopped, pulling off of that heated flesh and watching as it strained in the air, twitching wildly as a release that was soon to come never came.

Dib moaned in displeasure when Zim stopped, fighting back an agitated cry as he tried to reach for Zims head in an attempt to push his mouth back over his member. Zim evaded him easily, catching that hand and slipping fingers into his mouth, playfully sucking and wrapping his tongue around the digits, delighting himself as Dibs gaze tracked his tongues movements, the flush on his cheeks nearing the vibrancy of the aliens ruby optics.

Stopping long enough to whisper huskily around the teen's digits Zim asked, "would Dib like me to go further than just this, or is it too soon?"

Dib had to concentrate to hear the softly spoken words, gold eyes trying to focus on the alien leaning over him, but his brain was still in pleasure mode screaming yes yes yes!

Zim had asked him if he wanted to continue…. Well that was stupid, of course he wanted to continue. Here he was laying with a raging boner and Zim stops those delicious movements to ask if he wants to keep going? Dib had half a mind to hit that stupid alien.

But wait, more than this... as in sex? Isn't that what they were going to do in the first place? What the heck is Zim talking about?

"What do you mean do I want to continue? Zim, I'm here in your bed naked, I think that's a pretty good indication that I want to have sex with you."

Zim gave Dib a petulant look, becoming serious. "I just want to make sure this is what you want, I mean, it'll probably… you know…. Hurt a little because of my size…. And I wasn't sure if you'd want to continue." Ending lamely Zim turned his face away, cheeks hot and flamed in embarrassment, waiting for Dib to either laugh or leave because of his stupid question.

"Zim, I wouldn't be here if I didn't want to do this with you. I – I love you, more than you can imagine, and yeah it will probably hurt, but I mean, it is my first time, I'll tell you to stop if it becomes too much, but I trust you." Smiling gently Dib turned Zims face so their eyes were locked once again, "do you trust me Zim?"

Soft smile of his own Zim leaned in to capture Dibs lips, whispering against soft pink, "Of course I trust you, and Zim loves you too, you stupid human."

Dib returned the kiss in kind, loving that alien tongue but giving it a soft bite at being called stupid. Chuckling as Zim gave a seductive moan to the rough treatment. Those alien claws becoming bolder as they traveled over Dibs hips, going lower still to Dibs untouched area, griping lewdly at his tight cheeks, making Dib yelp in surprise.

"Uhnn, Z-Zim mmph!" Kissing rougher now, Zim left no room for doubt, slipping his fingers closer to that tight heated area and rubbing just around the entrance, pressing it slowly into the opening before stopping.

This was going to hurt more if he didn't use lube, he could tell by the way Dib had clenched in anticipating his finger.

Quickly Zim brought one of his pack legs closer to his side, opening up the small compartment at the end which held a gel like substance used as a substitute for lotion. It was blue in color and looked almost like jell-o once Zim dipped his fingers into the substance.

Noticing Zim had stopped what he was doing, Dib broke the kiss in time to look up and see Zim coating his fingers in a healthy amount of blue jelly from his pack leg. "Z-Zim I hope you're not using some weird type of alien oil to get me ready.. are you?"

Zim gave Dib a funny look before responding, "it's just lotion Dib thing, but it has more properties in it to help make it act as a lubricant. Don't worry, it can be used on humans, it's not going to melt your skin off."

Zim laughed a little at the face Dib threw at him before shushing him and laying him back down on the bed. "Don't worry my little human, Zim is going to make this a pleasurable experience, all you need to do is relax, ok?" Dib nodded his assent and hummed happily as Zim took his lips again, wrapping his arms around the Irkens broad shoulders, trying to relax his lower body.

Zim found it was easier to enter Dib with his fingers slicked, moving one digit in slowly, feeling Dib clench on him and give a short hic and groan before he relaxed again, allowing the finger to move in and out of him freely.

Soon Zim had two fingers moving around inside of him, pumping him steadily while scissoring the digits, feeling the tight walls of Dibs entrance give way and stretch to his probing hand, making it easier for them to glide in and out.

Dib could only groan at the feeling of Zims fingers pressing into him, stretching him. It was weird, but at the same time it wasn't all too uncomfortable, moving his hips into a better position Dib let out a high pitched screech as Zims finger's touched something deeper inside of him.

Dibs eyes clenched shut as Zim locked onto the new target, noticing the way Dib clenched mercilessly onto his finger whenever he moved them in and out, thrusting them harder into the human who cried out every time that little spot inside was touched. It had Zim wanting more, thirsting for those languid cries the human was making for him and only him.

Dib was close, the way Zim kept hitting that spot had him seeing stars, bucking his hips into those skilled digits, trying to get more of the feeling but not feeling like he had enough. Breathlessly Dib moaned, "Ziiimm, I- I need, I want hnnn, you p-please… hurry!" Zim got the message, moving over the human and taking his lips into his own, tasting that velvet tongue against his own as he easily slid his fingers out of Dib, feeling the human whine at the loss, the noise vibrating against that segmented oral muscle before the humans breath hitched. Dull nails scraped into the invaders back as he positioned his member in front of Dibs entrance, pushing in ever so slightly and trying his best not to make it painful.

Dibs expression already looked uncomfortable, even with the gel sufficiently lubricated along the inner walls, Dib clenched down to tightly for Zim to move forwards by much, only getting the tip and the first set of ribs under the head inside before Db let out a soft pained cry, trying to back away from being impaled but was trapped against the sheets.

"Ahhh! W-wait Zim stop! Please stop." Zim followed the order perfectly, expression showing concern and regret for harming his lover, but his craving for the young man was gnawing at his insides. He wanted to ram himself into the human and make him scream, to cry out for Zim, he wanted to claim the human from the inside. Yet his other senses wanted Dib to feel the pleasure of being taken, to want Zim inside of him, to want him to move around and claim him from the inside. Without Dibs consent, Zim wouldn't get the same satisfaction.

Dib was panting hard under the Invader, tears stained his cheeks as the pain from Zims initial entering ground hard in his insides. the fear of more pain was taking over his want for the pleasure. It had him trembling against Zim, arms locked around that jade neck to keep him secured to him so he wouldn't move. I can do this, Dib thought, I just have to relax, that's not so hard. But his body didn't want to listen to him, his hips and muscles were locked, forcing Zim to remain inside of him but not being able to go further than where he stopped.

Zim released a slow breath, moving gently so as not to startle the human, he began to back out of that tight heat. Groaning softly as he began to exit the human, only to have Dib suddenly clamp down hard on his escaping member. A hiss broke passed his lips followed by a low growl as he tried to not give into his animal instincts. The way it was now, and how Dib looked against the sheets, Zim didn't think he'd have any self- control left. Trying not to just thrust all the way into the human whether he was ready or not, it was driving him crazy.

Dib felt Zim retreating and panicked, he didn't want to look weak, he wanted to do this, he wanted to be with Zim, but the fear of being hurt was having a hurricane effect on his body. His insides were twisting in fear of rejection, while the other half was yearning for release. Knowing that Zim had what he needed to sate his bodies thirst for that pleasurable pain. It was just mind over matter, a war that Dib was seemingly losing.

"W-Wait Zim please, I just, I just need a moment ok, just a moment."

Zim noticed Dibs fearful expression, realizing Dib thought he was done with him and didn't want to continue. Zim merely chuckled as Dib tried to keep him planted inside of him, but he had no intention of leaving.

"Dib, please calm down, Zim isn't going anywhere, I just figured a better position might make it easier. Missionary is possible for us, but for your first time, might we try a position that's not so strenuous?" Dib wasn't expecting that, feeling his cheeks heat up at how emotional he had gotten with the thought of Zim being disappointed in him. Slowly he allowed Zim to pull out of him, feeling the rib underneath the head pop out of his entrance, making him groan lowly.

"What umm, what other position did you want to try?" Dib asked shakily, knowing there was one that he knew would work out much easier between them, but was wanting to avoid it at all costs.

"On you're knees would work out better, and it would probably be easier on you in the long run," Zim said easily, missing the Dib cringe slightly as the position he was dreading was the first the invader thought of.

"B-But umm, isn't there like, an easier way to do it missionary style? You know, maybe more leverage?" Dib asked thoughtfully, secretly hoping Zim would come up with a better solution. Anything other than on his knees was ok, he was even willing to forget the pain so long as Zim never mentioned that other position again.

Not catching the drift Zim seemed to have decided that knees would work better than missionary, and attempted to roll Dib over onto his stomach.

When Dib wouldn't budge Zim seemed to realize something was wrong. Dibs expression was lined thick with fear, eyes wide and breath coming in short shrill gasps as more tears threatened to overflow.

I can't Dib thought, I can't let him see me in that position, if he does, I know he'll be disgusted, I don't want him to see… Dibs inner musings were cut off when Zim gently stroked his cheek, eyes showing worry in their depths as they studied the human.

"Does Dib not wish to continue?" Zim asked sadly, knowing somehow he made this situation worse.

"No! No Zim I want to continue," Dib rushed to save before Zim could blame himself, "Its just, if I'm on my knees….. you'll…. You'll see them." Dib ended quietly, not wanting to look at Zim when he spoke.

"See what?" Zim asked confused, mind on a different track entirely, making Dib want to smack him upside the head all over again as he hastily yelled out, "My scars Zim! I don't want you to see my scars!"

Ahh, now Zim understood, albeit it took longer for him to catch the drift nonetheless, but he now knew why Dib was acting the way he was about a silly sexual position.

"Does it bother Dib so much that Zim may see his scars?" Zim asked quietly, trying to gain more information from the human. "Because Zim would like to point out that Dib has already shown Zim his scars, and Zim is sure that seeing them a second time won't kill him."

Dib had to hold back his urge to cry out of frustration as he tried to explain his predicament to Zim who still seemed lost.

"I just, seeing them….. I don't want you to see them because you'll…" stopping to catch his breath, not sure how to continue, Zim added, "I'll… what?" looking away Dib muttered, "you'll be disgusted…. Wont you? to see them while were… you know," Dib couldn't finish, to ashamed to face the jade creature that loomed over him.

Now it was Zims turn to want to smack the human, how could he think I'd be disgusted with him!? Those scars are a part of who Dib is, who he was and what shaped him into the person he is today. They made Dib Dib so to speak. Zim was flabbergasted, on the one hand he could understand why Dib would think that, but on the other he was mad that Dib was still trying to hide who he truly was from Zim, even during their most intimate moments.

Pulling a bold move Zim used all of his strength to completely flip Dib over onto his stomach, securing the humans arms above his head onto the sheets with one clawed hand while the other roamed slowly over the man's back, tracing the scars delicately as they passed over each one, sending a slight tremor through the human as goose bumps raised along the white flesh.

Dib was about to start yelling, he was furious that Zim would do something like that, none too happy with his position and ready to exclaim it loudly to the invader, he turned his head fully intended on telling Zim off when…. Zim stunned him into silence.

Slowly, ever so slowly, Zim used his long thin reptilian tongue to caress along the scars littering Dibs back. Taking his time to lick and kiss every groove, every raised line of white pink and red that colored the humans skin, making sure every scar was covered in a thin coat of saliva.

Dibs face had gone bright red with what Zim was doing, a forced strangled kind of sound made its way past his lips as Zim lifted his hips up so he rested on his knees, head and chest still pressed down into the sheets. This new lewd position had Dibs stomach flipping uncomfortably as anticipation rose in his chest. Subconsciously his legs spread a little more open for Zim to fit in easily between them. Not being able to stop the groan from passing his lips as Zim started to lick lower, Dibs hips rising to accommodate the probing oral muscle as it slithered in-between his parted cheeks, caressing the pink bud of his opening before worming its way inside.

"Ahh! Zim!" Dib yelped out to the invader, not being able to hold back his cry of discomfort as Zim retracted his tongue, only to oblige him again with the tip of his member pressing against his opening.

Dib whimpered as Zim began to press into him, but with the added leverage of this position, he found that it helped ease his discomfort, and Zim was able to get the head of his member nestled inside the human. Stopping only to let Dib adjust before he began to press further in, the tight walls not as restricting as they were before.

Zim was trying to go slow, was trying to force himself to take his time, but the way those walls enclosed around him, rubbing him and gripping him in all the right ways, it had him groaning to not go faster.

Pushing a little too hard, Zim thrust the rest of the way in, cursing to himself when Dib shouted out against the pillow in discomfort, noticing Dibs knuckles going white from how hard he was gripping the sheets.

Stroking his back with his free hands Zim tried to calm the human down, licking at the base of Dibs neck, he cooed and purred in his ear while he waited for the human to be ready.

It didn't take long for Dib to get his breathing under control, and when he bucked back against Zim, encouraging him to start moving, the effect was instant.

Zim slowly began to pull out of Dib and then push back in just as slow, creating a rhythm as Dibs discordant moans filled the air, as well as Zims own guttural groaning. Dib was beginning to get used to Zims massive size, the way the raised ribs rubbed against his sensitive walls had him near to the point of screaming whenever Zim pulled out, to just push back in. Soon Zim was moving faster, gripping Dibs hips hard as he forced the human to buck back every time he pushed in, losing himself to the sensation of Dib all around him. Letting out a chorus of Irken words and phrases coupled with his loud growls and purrs that meshed together as he rode Dib harder into the bed.

Dib was soon joining in with his own chorus once Zim hit that spot inside of him, couldn't stop the pooling of heat in his groin as he yelled out to Zim, begging, crying, pleading, to go faster, and he did.

Zim kept hitting that spot inside of Dib, smiling to himself as he reveled in the control he held over the human in this moment, lowering so he could lick and suck on the humans neck as his hand found its way to Dibs straining member, pumping it in time with his thrusts as Dib moaned to the treatment.

Dib felt like his legs would give out, the way Zim was handling him, the way he was moving, he couldn't hold it back anymore. He could tell Zim was close to the edge too, could tell by the way his hips jerked uncoordinatedly, the rhythm being thrown off by pure need of release.

"D-Dib human ahh, Zim is Zim is going to! I can't," Zims words were rushed as he continued to thrust into the human, trying to save off the pleasure, trying in vain to make it last longer but his body was at his limit. "Ahh Zim m-me too nnhhhh!" Dib could feel his release looming upon him. Zim was slamming into him viciously, gripping his hips so hard he knew there were going to be bruises but he couldn't find it in his mind to care.

All he knew was that he was here with Zim and that's all that mattered.

With one last forceful thrust that slammed into Dibs sweet spot, Zim came hard inside of the writhering human, his pink viscous seed filling Dib and coating his inner walls in the sticky sweet fluid.

Dib was soon to follow, screaming out as he felt Zim slam into him, the aliens seed being released right against his prostate as his own milky white fluid shot out around him, coating the sheets and part of his lower stomach.

Dib could feel Zim panting as he flopped down against his back, Dibs own breathing just as ragged, trying to gain oxygen while he fought off the need for sleep, he didn't want to pass out just yet.

With what little strength he had left, Zim slid himself out of Dibs body, easily circling his arms around the human as he rolled them so Dib was on top, laying out against Zims chest as the pack legs began to fix the blankets. Pulling them out and over the two on the bed, getting ready to go to sleep for the night, Zim tucked Dibs head under his chin, breathing in his scent while his antenna began to play in the humans dark raven locks.

"Zim?" Dib asked quietly before sleep could overtake him. "Hmm? What is it Dib?" Zim responded, his own voice sounding tired and worn from the previous activities, wrapping his arms tighter around Dibs middle as he waited for the teen to speak.

"Were you really not bothered, by my scars I mean, even while we were doing, you know, it? they didn't bother you to see them?" Dib wanted to know, how could Zim have stomached to even look at them when Dib still found it hard to look himself in the mirror when alone, how he had licked them, stroked them, as if they were precious. It had Dib curious.

Zim transfixed his gaze with Dibs, making sure they were eye to eye before he spoke, wanting his meaning to be heard and understood.

"Dib human, I've said it once and I'll say it a hundred times more, you are _**not**_ disgusting, do you understand?" When Dib didn't say anything Zim continued, "I love you, and not just you Dib human, I love everything there is about you, that includes your scars. It doesn't matter what they look like, because I know you, you're the most beautiful human on this planet, hell in the whole galaxy. No one can hold a candle to you and do you want to know why? Because your unique, your strong, your free willed, and you have a stubborn streak that mirrors my own." A small chuckle escaped Dib as Zim said that.

"I love _**you **_Dib, and I wouldn't give that up for anything else in the whole universe. But if you ever try to hide yourself from me, or think I'm ever going to throw you away because of something like this ever again, I will personally hit you over the head. Is that understood?"

Dib forcing a kiss onto Zims lips was more than enough of a good answer, and both lovers went to sleep with smiles on their faces, awaiting the next day as their relationship changed once again from shaky and scared, to solid and strong.

**Until next chapter, only a couple more to go! Thanks to everyone who's kept up with me so far lol. And don't worry, once this one's done I have another I've been secretly working on that I'll introduce to fanfiction soon enough!**


	13. Chapter 13

**Things Left Unsaid**

**Chapter 13:**

**By Glowzilla**

**Ok so yeah, definitely have taken advantage of summer vacation and have sooo gotten lazy with the updates. Even though this story is almost over, it doesn't give me a good reason for my delay. Sorry everyone who keeps checking their emails to see if there was an update. I for one am one of those people and become excited once I see an updated story. So for all those patient people out there, here's the next update, enjoy and don't flame me too bad, this chapter may be late but I'm filling it with a lot of mushy gooey affection. Read and enjoy! ^_^ **

Dib awoke that morning slowly, lazily blinking his eyes to his surroundings, taking in the bright vibrant shades of red's and pink's and…..

This _**wasn't**_ his **room**.

With a start Dib tried to bolt upright on the large bed he was laying on but found himself restrained by long green muscular arms wrapped around his torso, holding him against the taller body of the slumbering alien who had yet to wake up.

Then, as if finally kicking into overdrive, Dibs brain decided to allow him remembrance of the previous night, his night with Zim, and what they had done together… how Zim had…. With his tongue and hands….. coaxing Dib to whimper and moan against the sheets… greedily asking, begging the alien for more as they shared their first night together in **Zims room**.

Almost as suddenly as the memories returned, a throbbing pain hit Dibs lower back, making the young man groan. Noticing the muscles in his legs were sore and twitching slightly, abdominal muscles also experiencing the ache of the previous activities, making Dib whimper as he moved closer to the jade creature, snuggling back down and attempting to ignore the throbbing hurt his body was trying to communicate to his tired brain.

He wasn't going to move just yet, he needed to sleep for at least a couple more days before he even** tried **moving again Dib surmised, wanting to just relax next to the alien that changed his life. Speaking of which, Dib repositioned his head so he could see the alien next to him, realizing for the first time that he was watching Zim _sleep_. Something that he had never seen before, making his paranormal brain kick in.

Dib watched in abject adoration and partial scientific enthusiasm as the slumbering alien next to him continued to obliviously fuel Dibs paranormal habit. And a bad habit it was as Dib soon realized he wanted to run and grab his notebook to take notes on the subject. Although he was content to just watch Zim, he still couldn't stop the side of him that wanted to collect, draft and graph everything that Zim did on a daily basis.

How Zim would almost always close the door to their house and click the lock shut, then check the door to make sure the lock worked. Like for some reason the door wasn't really locked and then the door would open. Like the lock had lied to him and he was testing to see if it actually told him the truth.

Or how whenever Zim didn't think Dib was looking, he would bite the end tip of his claws to clean them. A bad habit that Dib couldn't help laughing at, of course he thought it was gross the first couple of times he witnessed it, but when he questioned Zim on why he didn't just cut his claws instead of bite them, Zim had completely denied biting his nails. Dib dropped the argument he wanted to make over having witnessed the action, thinking better of it and not wanting to start a fight. But any time Zim did do it, Dib would smirk at knowing he caught the invader doing something he said he didn't do.

The best one by far, the one Zim didn't know Dib knew about, and one Dib would always keep to himself unless Zim brought it up to him first, would be whenever Zim did the laundry.

The machines would be going, filling the room with a sort of white noise as the clothes washed. And while Zim dedicated himself to folding the clothes, he would start to hum a slow tune in the back of his throat, which would escalate into quite murmurs and pitches of words almost being said. And then he would begin to sing, quietly of course and also in Irken. The first time I ever heard it, it shocked me, first because I never knew Zim could sing, and second, it was almost like a lullaby. The soft tone of the words was unique, for Irken wording and language sounded harsh all together. But this song reminded Dib of something a mother would sing to her restless child. It comforted Dib as he hid in the next room, secretly listening to the song and Zims amazing voice.

I let him sing, not wanting to disturb the atmosphere or make him nervous, but any time I brought up singing to him for fun or with me in the kitchen as we cooked dinner together, he would turn me down almost abruptly. It made me upset at first, but when I caught his flushed cheeks and hesitating demeanor, I figured he was just embarrassed to sing in front of me.

The next time I caught him singing, he was in Gir's room. It was late at night, the robot who acted so much like a child was refusing to go into recharge mode. He wanted to go to the taco outlet and buy a taco and a couple of burritos but Zim was staying firm and refusing to let Gir wander the streets alone. Not that the robot couldn't handle himself, it was just the fact that it was late, and Zim didn't want any re-runs of Gir waking Dib up with a bag of grease in the face at like what, 2am. So while Zim argued with the robot I was wandering the halls in hopes of finding any incentive to get Gir to go to sleep. Meaning I was stuck looking for Gir's plush piggy I bought him that he kept loosing. I'm convinced he doesn't like it, but Zim told me that he loses everything and not to take it personally.

I had just retrieved the pig from underneath the couch when I heard the familiar melody. Trying to be as sneaky as I could, and as quiet since I didn't have the white noise of the laundry room to cover me, I quickly made my way back towards Girs room. Peaking in around the corner, I saw Zim sitting by Girs bed, the large cord connecting to Gir's head meaning he was ready to shut down for the night. Those bright cyan blue eyes blinking dreamily as Zim softly sung to the sir unit. Absentmindedly Zim calmly stroked Girs nub of a hand while he soothed the robot into slumber. Those eyes that were once bright blue faded silently into black as he fell asleep. The song ending not long after Gir was knocked out, leaving only the hum from the computer to fill in the loss of noise.

It was the only time in my life I think I was ever jealous of Gir, not only for the fact that Zim sang in front of him, but also that Zim would look at him with such an expression! It was so soft, so loving, it was practically melt your heart with mush lovey goo!. Anything that could be contributed to mush, love, and cuteness was wrapped all around Zim and Girs quiet moment together. It was enough to make my chest squeeze in slight pain, but it was a nice feeling, like a warmth was spreading all around me, wrapping me in an embrace that bordered on protective.

Even though Zim would probably never admit it, I knew that deep down he cared for Gir, in his own special way. They had a bond unlike the one Zim and I shared, and it made me envious of them. To be so connected to each other, almost like family, it made me hurt slightly inside because I didn't have that with my own family. Gaz was all I ever had, and she didn't want to live with me. I'm still unsure of where she is in the world. She could be in Africa for all I knew, and I didn't.

With Zim and Gir, they came from the same planet, even the computer could be considered Zims family, since Zim was half run by a computer anyway. But with me and Gaz, we were separate. Even before dad died, we were never all that close, and when he did die, we tried to stay together but that wasn't always an option.

So seeing Zim and Gir behave like a family, I couldn't help the small part of me that cried for my own.

Although now, I'm convinced I found my family. I wouldn't be so bold as to say that Zim and I **are** a family, but I can't stop thinking that that's what we are turning into.

As I stare at the peaceful face of the ex- invader, emotions start to swell in my chest, I'm happy now, happier than I've ever been. And it's all thanks to this crazy alien and his wacky house with a weird childish robot that's addicted to tacos.

Chuckling softly I cant help but wrap myself tighter around Zim, feel his pack against my fingertips as it hums, his chest evenly rising and falling with his breaths. I can even slightly feel his heart, or what I think is a heart, beating under that tight skin.

The feeling seems to grow within me, that strange warmth getting hotter and hotter until it feels like my chest is swirling. I can't remember the last time I've felt like this, and I really don't ever want it to stop. And if I'm being honest, if I were to die right now, wrapped in Zims protective embrace, I think I'd be ok with that.

Movement stirs and Zims arms wrap around me even tighter, rolling me until I'm on his chest. A peek of glistening red ruby shows under those eyelids as they stare at me. And I can't help but feel my face heat up in response to the way he's looking at me. The way those eyes flutter open, and how his own cheeks grow dark, possible remembering the other night as well.

The sting of pain in my lower back objects to the sudden movement, but I manage to quell the urge to wince, not wanting Zim to see that I was in minor pain from the previous night's activities. I knew it was going to happen, knew that I probably wasn't going to be able to move very well, or at all for the next day, but if asked if it was worth it, I'd say I wouldn't change a thing.

Although the brief expression of concern that crossed Zims face was enough to say my pain gave me away. Even if I didn't show it on my face, I had forgotten that his antenna picked up on the most subtle of chemistry changes in a person's body. And since I was laying right on top of him, of course he would notice.

"Dib thing, is everything all right?" the concern in that groggy voice was enough to turn me on, and make my chest squeeze again at how sweet he could be.

"Yes Zim, everything is fine, just a little sore from last night is all, nothing to concern yourself over. A good day of rest will put me back on my feet in time for work tomorrow." Never thought I'd be consoling Zim over this, but just seeing his face scrunch up in concern made me feel so very very, happy.

"Was Zim, Was Zim too rough last night? I tried to go slow, and it didn't look like you were in too much pain, but, um…. What should I do, to make you feel less in pain? How do I make you feel better? I could carry you everywhere."

As Zim tried to move to put me in a better position I couldn't stop the laugh that bubbled past my lips. He was just too cute. Pressing down on him harder to stop his movements, I leant in to give him a quick peck on the lips. When he stopped trying to move, I let my tongue glide against his lips before deepening the kiss and encouraging his tongue to dance with mine. It was soft, calm, and relaxed, so unlike the once proud invader that wanted to control every aspect of a fight. This kiss was void of any sense of competition, like we were equals. And again I found myself falling for the alien all over again.

I couldn't stop my hands from exploring as the kiss continued, becoming deeper and harder as my fingertips traveled down over the hard muscles of his arms, down to his chest, and moving over his abs and hips.

His hands were doing some exploring of their own, making their way to my hips and over my exposed posterior, griping it and pushing me firmer on top of him, letting our hips grind together. Soon we were rolling, and I found myself underneath that gorgeous ripped body, his lips moving from my mouth to down my jaw, landing on the pulse point in my neck, biting it hard enough to elicit a low moan and growl from me. Encouraging me to move against him again, needing him now as his ministrations brought on a new kind of heat I wasn't all to unfamiliar with that happened in the mornings.

The pain in my back came back as Zim shifted my legs to straddle his hips, making me wince and utter out a short grunt of discomfort. To which Zim caught as his attention was brought back to me as pain became evident on my face. Not that I wanted to stop what we were doing, I wasn't really looking forward to continuing while all I could feel with my legs spread was a nagging sharp pain shooting down my spine.

Zim shifted again and a shudder ripped through me as he lifted my legs up further, but he wasn't moving forward, instead he was backing away so he could look in-between my legs, down to where he figured the pain was.

I guess he found it, because he let out a strangled gasp as he lowered my legs to the bed and backed away further from me, almost jumping off of the bed and giving me a fearful look.

"I.. You… Your bleeding! Or.. you bled, after we, after I…! I'm so sorry! And I was about to, oh man I'm so sorry! Just stay there, I'll get the computer to bring you to the medical wing. I knew I was too rough, I'm so stupid! Just stay there, I'll, I'll fix this!... Just…"

"Zim!" I couldn't let him continue, he was freaking out and I was having trouble holding in my giggles. I know it wasn't nice of me to laugh at him, but I just couldn't help it, he was reacting how any guy who didn't know most virgins bled after their first time would probably react to seeing blood. No lie I was a little surprised I bled, but hey Zim wielded a massive weapon and for that to be my first, there was no way I wouldn't not bleed. But Zim's never experienced that before, or has ever been in a relationship where that knowledge would be common for him to know. So him freaking out was a little expected, but I didn't think he would get this worried about it. No choice now, I'll have to explain a couple of things to him.

"Take a deep breath Zim, and sit down please so I can explain that what you saw is completely natural for someone who loses their virginity."

Zim was standing, at the foot of his bed with both hands over his head, as if trying to flatten hair, or maybe trying to stop his antenna from vibrating in worry as he began to pace again. Eyes locked to the floor and face aflame. Although be it in embarrassment or in shame I couldn't really tell.

"Dib thing, I assure you I've never heard of anyone bleeding once their virginity is taken." Plopping down on the bed, Zim continued to worry over his actions.

How could he have been so stupid, of course he himself didn't regret what had transpired last night, but its obvious Dib was hurt now because of it. He shouldn't have continued so soon, shouldn't have lost himself in the moment of copulating. Dib wasn't Irken, what if he really damaged him, or hurt him on the inside more than Dib was letting on.

Laughter seemed to break Zim from his train of thought, and he re focused his ruby eyes on the one laughing.

Dib was holding his sides with his arms, curled up in a ball on the bed, laughing.

Its obvious the human has gone hysterical, he needed to get him down to the med bay. "Dib thing, I need you to hold still while I have the computer transport us, I'll definitely fix whatever I broke inside of you."

"Zim, Oh my god Zim your so stupid its hilarious. Please stop saying things like that, you're killing me hahaha…. Oh man..wheeze… just calm down for a sec and wait…haaa.. ok, I think I'm good. Jeez Zim, way to go overboard with the crazy, I'm not broken and you don't have to fix me I'm fine, honest. I'm just sore. And the reason you've probably never heard about anyone bleeding after their first time is because you've never been intimate with someone. Their not just gonna tell ya about their first experience. And sometimes girls and guys don't bleed, but it is natural. I swear if it wasn't I'd be all for letting your computer take a look at me, but I know what happened and I'm fine."

Zim didn't seem convinced, he had his arms crossed and his antenna lowered, obviously debating if what I was saying was true. "Please Zim, just trust me, and besides, if I was truly hurting, would I have let you almost go all the way with me again this early in the morning?" that seemed to be the magic phrase, but before I could even think to reach over and kiss his stupid head again, his mood became fowl once more, and he gave me a pointed look.

"I didn't go any further **because** you were in pain, in case you forgot." Zims tone was scathing, but there was no real malice behind it, only genuine concern and worry for my well- being.

He really is one of a kind, and I'm incredibly lucky he decided I was worthy enough to be called his. And again that feeling was back, I'm not angry that I feel this way, but I'm starting to realize how easy it is for me to fall head over heels for Zim, and how much his words affect me. If this had been 2 years ago, before Gaz and I were moved out of the city, I wouldn't have thought it possible for Zim to feel anything at all towards me. Or I towards him, its making me realize how much I have changed, and how much I'm starting to care for Zim.

"I would have let you continue" I grumbled under my breath but I knew he heard me. His antenna lifted to catch my next couple of words. "It was only my back that hurt, not anything else. So if you still want to continue, maybe a different position will help, or possibly an hour so I can ice the damn thing before we try anything else." I may have gotten huffy but he was practically forcing me to tell him I wanted to do it again, but that my back hurt and that's why I was hesitant to continue.

Zims expression softened considerably as he climbed back up to where I was now sitting up on the bed, kneeling in front of me and giving me a great view of his hard abs and well defined muscle that curved around his hips. God I'm a perv, already I want him again, pain or no pain, I just want to be closer to him.

"I just don't want it to hurt you anymore." It came out breathy but there was obvious truth to the statement, as well as the underlining fear of causing me more pain.

"I can't promise that it wont, but it didn't hurt last night, and now that my body knows what to expect, it will be easier. I was already ready to go before you freaked out, so trust me when I say that if it does actually start to hurt, I'll most certainly tell you to stop, ok?"

He seemed to accept that answer, but was still hesitating. I made the decision for him by capturing him in another kiss, tender and calm like the first, but this time I urged him to deepen the kiss. I wanted him to know that I was ok, that I wanted him to be ok with wanting to be intimate. I didn't want him to fear this aspect of our relationship any time we decided to go to bed together. It would make setting the mood that much more nerve- wracking for Zim in the long run. His fears were understandable, but if he lived by them then we probably wouldn't ever do it again. He needed to be told straight out that his fears were unjust in the current situation, and by helping him gain back his confidence, our relationship will grow stronger in the process.

Back in the same position we started in, Zim had managed to rest on top of me easily, slowly bringing my legs back round his hips, making me straddle him.

In the same instant he had reached down in-between my legs to feel for that opening my erection not going unnoticed as Zim collected some lube from his pack, making sure to graze me with his hand as he reached back down to feel me.

"Ahhhh…" that unrestrained whimper got his attention and he hesitated before smirking at me. Those sharp teeth showing as he licked his lips. Moving his teeth down to my throat and nipping it. "Does Dib pet wish to stop, or continue?"

Those pleading ruby eyes, those sensual lips, that amazing body without one single flaw, how could he expect any other answer out of me than… "Continue."

The moans were coming constantly now as he drove one finger inside, probing me while his other hand tweaked a nipple, making my back arch off the bed as pleasure ran through me. "Ahhh Z-Zim!" but it wasn't enough, I needed more, wanted more, and soon I was begging, pleading with him to continue, to go faster, harder, it was driving me insane.

Soon he obliged, that thick hard organ making itself known to me again, rubbing up against me and letting me know it wanted to enter just as much as I did.

Zim lifted my legs higher up, making sure my knees almost touched my chest before he began to slowly penetrate me.

I could tell my body was reacting better than it had last night, this position we originally tried didn't seem to hurt as much as the first time, and with the lube I found it easier to relax myself to allow continuation.

"Ah.. just, just let me know if you want me to stop, ok.. Dib thing." But I had no intention of telling him to stop.

And I think by my guttural groan of "**move**" did he realize I wasn't going to tell him to stop. But he did move, oh how he moved, thrusting into me harder than he had last night, it had my cock dripping with pre-cum, I could feel it staining the sheets under us as he moved over me. Getting harder, faster, longer, deeper, the more he moved the more I cried out.

I think he likes to hear me moan out his name, every time I say it when were in this position, locked together in our heated dance, and I moan it right into his antenna, his body shudders and he pushes into me harder. Making me gasp and call his name more, until I'm just screaming for him and only him. To let him be the one to make me come, the only one allowed to see me this exposed, this vulnerable. And the heat that comes with my love for him makes my body quake as I give myself over to the rushing endorphins and overbearing euphoria of mating.

Soon were moving together, desperately clinging to each other as we ride the high of the morning. My nails are biting into his skin and I can feel his claws contracting into my hips but the pain is overridden by the pleasure.

Bruises were going to form by tonight but that thought left just as soon as it had come. a hot thin tongue sliding across my neck derailing such trivial thoughts, sharp serrated teeth nipping me here and there as he continued to thrust, this time hitting that spot in me that made me screech inn agonizing pleasure.

I wanted him to hit it again, and he managed to do it, stabbing it with expert precision as he gripped me harder, making my body rock back on him hard as I was pushed further into the mattress. Soon I couldn't even move with him, I was helpless as he took over, his rocking becoming uncoordinated, forcing me to take every thrust he gave as irken words spilled past those shimmering green lips slick with saliva.

My breathing was ragged as I tried to keep up, my euphoria was right at its peak, threatening to spill over, and soon I couldn't hold it back.

With one last hard thrust that smashed into my pleasure center, I came harder than I ever imagined, my cries ringing through the room as Zim soon toppled over the edge right after me. His body continuing to thrust into me as the last of his seed filled me and stained the sheets with my own liquids to accompany it.

Breathing harder now Zim lay with me, or rather, (on top of me), as he was too tired to move yet. I was content with the weight and didn't complain as I waited for him to calm down, my own breathing trying to catch up with my sated body.

"I…. I really…. really love you…. Dib human." It was quiet, whispered right against my ear. I wasn't expecting it, and it made my breath catch in my throat. Sometimes that alien really knew how to throw me off.

Cheeks flushed bright red I whispered back, just as quietly, "I really really love you too space boy."

And those were really the only words we needed to share in that moment. Just the two of us in our world, with our love, and that was enough for me.

**Things Left Unsaid**

**Chapter 14:**

**By Glowzilla**

**Hey guys, I just wanted to give a little short piece for the ending of this story. I know I kind of ended it in the last chapter but I never fully completed the story. I figured I'd give you guys one last chapter before I really ended Things Left Unsaid. Read and review! ^_^**

A year had now passed with Zim and Dib living together, honestly Dib never thought his life would have gotten any better considering a good portion of it was filled with pain and suffering. The panic attacks he was prone to having after his two years in foster care had all but disappeared within the first six months of his stay with Zim. The alien had been adamant with helping him through those times, even though he wasn't too sure on how to help him when he had first witnessed them.

Dib mainly had them at night, right after a nightmare or some kind of dream that would bring him back to his old life. He would wake up crying and shivering, sometimes even confused as to where he was when he didn't recognize the room in the dark. Zim had learned never to run up on him while he was mid panic attack, the first time he did, Dib had punched him.

The human had felt so bad afterwards that he continuously apologized for the attack the whole day, even though the punch hadn't been that hard, he could still see the bruise he left on Zims cheek a few hours later. Though Zim didn't mind it, he had learned that the best way to deal with someone who's having a panic attack, would be to carefully, and calmly, talk them through it.

The next panic attack Dib had, Zim had done his research, and walked into Dibs room, making enough noise that the human would hear him, but not loud enough to startle him. That's what originally got him punched in the face, plus it didn't help that he had grabbed Dibs arm, that just seemed to freak him out more. Now though, Zim walked into Dibs room, calling the humans name quietly while bringing himself down to the floor to be eye level with him, kneeling on the side of the humans bed, calmly stroking his hand. Trying to relax the human without making him think he's being restrained, offering support in a subtle manner. When recognition lit the humans eyes, he would thread his fingers with Zims, squeezing his hand softly while he tried to gain control of his tears. Dib didn't like to feel weak, he hated these panic attacks, and he hated that Zim was witnessing them firsthand since they lived together.

He didn't want Zim to feel obligated to help, but he soon realized that Zim wasn't doing this out of obligation. When Zim would come into his room, helping him back from the terror his attacks brought him, holding him close and whispering into his ear that he was ok, he wasn't going to die, and that Zim was there for him, Dib understood. The continuous phrases of I love you Zim would whisper to him helped bring on the revelation, and he felt silly that he hadn't realized that to be the reason sooner. Although it wasn't that long ago that they had whispered it to each other after their first night together, Dib became aware that Zim didn't help him out of obligation, Zim did it because he loved Dib. The human felt cherished whenever he came back from an attack and felt himself being cradled in Zims arms, the warmth from his strong form enough to lull Dib into a calmer state while Zim continued to talk to him, until he could feel the tension leave and sleep take over.

The intervals following the attacks grew longer, they became far and few between, sometimes not even lasting very long, Dib finding himself being able to pull himself out of it without eliciting Zims help. The relationship between human and alien grew to exponential forms, even though the two fought or argued over simple things, their anger never lasted very long, and if Dib had an attack following an argument, Zim would be right there, holding him throughout the ordeal, argument completely forgotten while Dib was brought back.

Even Gir seemed to know what to do should Dib have an attack while Zim was out of the house, though the little android seemed to think that if lightly petting Dibs head and humming a soft tune didn't work, a bunch of stuffed pigs did the trick. Dib had woken up surrounded by plush toys heaped around him, covering his body from head to toe as he tried to get up off of the couch. That was probably where Gir put him instead of the bedroom, it wasn't really his fault, he wasn't allowed in Dibs bedroom after the taco incident, and Zim would always keep his door locked since he knew about the taco incident. Zim had gotten home just in time to see Dib bringing the stuffed toys back to Girs room, and after a quick explanation of what happened, Zim wouldn't stop teasing him for the rest of the week. Finding the whole thing humorous, and exclaiming that he wished he had seen Dib surrounded by the stuffed toys so he could have gotten a picture.

When Dib and Zim finally made the decision that they should sleep in the same room together, it had been almost 4 months of living together. And since they had been sleeping together on an almost constant basis, they found it strange that they hadn't started sharing the same bed in the beginning. Though Zim explained that he didn't want Dib to feel uncomfortable when he had first moved in, he kept their rooms separate so Dib would be able to have his own space. Even after Dib started to sleep mainly in Zims room, they would randomly, whenever things became hot and heated between them, find themselves in Dibs room where they would spend a long night together under Dibs sheets. It just depended on whose room was closer when the need to be together overwhelmed their train of thought.

Dib found he didn't care where he slept, so long as it was Zim he woke up next to, and that was all he needed to say when Zim asked if he wanted to change the sleeping arrangements to just using one room. Zim wanted to fall asleep next to his human, to feel his skin when they cuddled next to each other, finding it harder and harder to go to sleep when they slept separately. To him, it felt like they hadn't made any progress in their relationship, they have had sex on numerous occasions, falling asleep together after the nights ordeal. But on the nights where they slept in different rooms, Zim would feel a nagging in his spootch, it made him want to seek out the human, to crawl into his bed and cuddle up to the form he had grown to love.

Dib had agreed to feeling the same way, confessing that he had almost gone into Zims room several times during the night when he would wake up cold and alone. He didn't like the little separation they had from each other when it came time to sleep. Although the first night of them sleeping together was about as awkward as when they first had sex with each other; Zim being oddly silent and Dib finding random things to pick up around the house acting like he was cleaning.

When 11 o'clock rolled around, both Zim and Dib were tired beyond words, but still being awkwardly shy. The mood needed to be broken, this was supposed to be normal for them, they were already living together, and they had been having a good relationship, why was it so weird now that they were going to start sleeping together all the time? Why was it making them so nervous?

Suddenly Dib had an idea, but he blushed a little at what he was going to do, he walked past Zim in the hallway before turning into his own bedroom instead of into the aliens. Zim looked hurt for a moment, but chalked it up to the human wanting to change into his pajamas before going into sleep mode. He'd give the Dib thing a few moments to get ready, not wanting to think that the human may not want to spend the night with him tonight.

Dib shut his door lightly, making up his mind for what he wanted to do, going into his closet with the arrangement of stripper clothing he wore at work. They were all hung up neatly along the hanging rack, each varying in color and different levels of nudity. Of course Dib never took off his clothing at work, it didn't mean he didn't like the outfits, and some of the more skimpier ones could be used as negligées. He figured if he added a little fun to this for Zim, the alien wouldn't be so nervous about their sleeping arrangements becoming a regular thing. And of course Dib also wanted to see what Zim would think once Dib showed off the newest outfit.

Now, for those of you wondering, Dib himself is not a cross dresser and would never dream of wearing women's clothing on a regular basis. The tops and pants he wore for work were mainly fitted to fit women, but since Dib was a stripper, no one questioned him about his outfit choices. The black number he pulled out of the closet and laid across his bed to look at, well that was definitely made for a woman. The lack of anything remotely conservative on the piece of clothing was enough to be considered something the opposite sex could wear, but not something any normal male would just try on to entice his partner.

Dib had the slight curvature of a woman, but his toned chest and prominent muscles aligning his arms and legs made him very sleek and stealthy. Though based on height and his medium build, he could easily pass for a woman if he wore the right material. Dib had no plans to put on a dress and a wig for Zim, but wearing the black outfit would definitely entice the green Irken… or at least he hoped it would.

The material was cool against his fingers as he slid the black lace top over his chest, the neat floral design going across the hem of the material not taking anything away from the intricate rope design cascading in waves down the open back. A second portion of the material went around his hips, kind of like a guarder belt, but it connected to the crotch- less panties he semi- struggled to get into. The final piece of the outfit was a pair of furry black cuffs that hung from the side of the guarder belt, attaching at the hip. Dib contemplated actually using them, but figured it went good with the outfit, and hung them from their respectable place on his side.

Figuring looking in the mirror would make him chicken out, Dib touched up his hair as best he could with his fingers, smoothing down the rumpled look he was sporting from sitting too long on the couch.

When everything was ready, including Dibs stomach, since it seemed like it was trying to do summersaults inside of him, Dib quickly and quietly opened his door. Peeking out into the hall for Gir and making sure nothing would give him away, he edged closer to Zims room. Glad to see that the light was still on, it meant Zim was waiting for him, but if he heard Dibs door open, he would definitely be watching his door for the human to enter through.

Dib wasn't big on making grand entrances, but he was trying to get Zim into a more comfortable mood, what better way to do it than to surprise the Invader with one of his more… naughty outfits. True Dib never really played up the sexy while with Zim, the Invader was more than generous with his compliments to the human, Dib almost instantly returning the favor for Zim, wanting the Irken to know just how hypnotically captivating Dib found him when they were together.

Dib knew, even if the Irken was bundled with several layers of clothing with part of his face obscure, he would still be the hottest creature Dib could call 'Mine'. Plus it excited Dib to no end with the thought of being able to undress Zim from all those layers, exposing his luxurious body that was, all for Dib.

Smiling now, Dib took a deep breath, and walked into the partially open door, quietly pushing it the rest of the way open as he made his appearance in the door frame.

Zim had been sitting up in the bed, bidding his time with a small device he was trying to fix after Gir relented to Zim that he had tried to eat it. He couldn't really remember what the damn thing did, but he didn't want to just stare at the door all night waiting for the human. It would have driven him nuts waiting the first minute if the human hadn't shown up, and he most likely would have gone to the human's room to ask if he was coming at all.

This way he was distracted long enough for Dib to make the decision on his own, and for Zim to not get antsy.

He acknowledged that the door to his room was opened, but when he didn't hear any more movement, he looked up to greet the human in what was, hopefully a welcome gesture to their new, shared bedroom, wanting the human to feel comfortable enough to just walk in, not wait for permission.

Although when his eyes landed on the human before him, framed in his doorway like a forbidden sex god, did the greeting he had been working up to say vanish from his mind. The device he was fiddling with clattered to the floor, Zim's mouth dropping open and almost falling into his lap as he took in the stunning view.

There Dib was, in all his human glory, pitch black hair a mess of wild strands as they aligned his perfect face, those gold eyes staring intently into his own ruby orbs as if to say, '_this is all yours_'. The red ruby optics traveled down more to take in the view of the garment Dib was sporting, feeling a flush sprout out across his green face as he realized, Dib was wearing crotch- less underwear. And there, dangling mischievously on his hip, were a pair of handcuffs that glittered in the dim light of the room.

Feeling painfully aroused, Zim almost moaned when Dib sauntered into the room, a predatory glint in his gold eyes while he swished his curvaceous hips back and forth as he walked, wanting to entice.

And oh, did he entice. Zim could feel his member pushing to get out, rubbing against the underside of his skin almost uncomfortably, causing a friction Zim intended the human help him relieve.

Dib was** loving** the look Zim was giving him, unable to believe that he could cause such an expression to cross the Irkens face. If Zim had been a dog, Dib believed he would have seen him salivating when Dib started to slowly climb onto the bed.

Zim's breath caught in his throat when the human moved to in-between his legs, still on top of the covers but that was a minor issue. He just couldn't seem to tear his eyes away from the human who stretched his body up in front of him, bending slightly backwards as he gave Zim the full view.

This time Zim couldn't hold back the moan as he reached for his human, feeling that pale skin twitch beneath his claws, warmth running through his body as his mind delved to more bestial activities. Dib caught the look in Zims eyes and was glad to see that the shyness from earlier had all but vanished, being replaced by the dominant invader Dib had grown to love.

"Can I take this to mean you like what you see?" Dib gasped slightly as Zims claws traveled lover, gripping his buttocks lewdly through the garment and indenting his skin with the force of his grasp. The indentations tinged pink, a few shades brighter than the blush crossing Dib's face as he locked his gaze with the Invader's.

"Yesssss" Zim hissed out, his mind delving from the track it was on, wanting to just consume the human right then and there. It took all of Zims brain power to focus on the human's words, his eyes adjusting from his haze to realize he had brought Dib closer to him, to where the human was perched right over his lap, his hands unconsciously massaging the skin around Dibs lower body.

He wanted to rip the material off of Dib when his fingers met the sinfully soft fabric of the underwear. He needed to have his human, he wanted to see that body bare to him all of the sensitive areas Zim had found during previous explorations. To touch each area and have Dib moan out in pleasure, exposing himself in the rawest way.

Dibs mind was on a similar track, but teasing Zim seemed like fun also, wanting to string out Zims control to the barest of threads before he finally snapped.

His hands found purchase on Zims shoulders, ruffling the material of the nightshirt Zim was wearing. Sliding his hands lower, he began to lift the shirt off of Zim, the invader complying and lifting his arms to help remove the material faster, if only to help make skin to skin happen sooner.

With the shirt gone, Dib moved his hands along the expanse of the green chest, slightly envious of the broad muscles Zim sported, aligning his skin with ripples of power. Dib couldn't stop the tremor shooting down his spine at the thought of Zim taking him over, the raw feral beast showing the human how animalistic Zim could be while Dib fell victim to the lust.

Licking his lips Dib tried to remain on point, but Zim moved just slightly and their hips ground together, making Dib jolt as the friction caused his member to twitch, heat pooling in his groin as the fabric of the bed sheet caused him to whine in discomfort. Zims skin would feel so much better against him, but he didn't want the fun to end just yet.

Lowering his head to Zims neck, Dib licked a patch of the skin before dragging a chunk of it into his mouth, sucking and bringing blood to the surface as he moved his hands lower on the alien, shoving against his chest and laying Zim down flat into the bed so his head rested on the pillow, his antenna vibrating wildly as Dib continued to suckle on him.

Zim groaned when the human began to give him a hickey, feeling his member almost grinding against his inner skins wall but not yet extending. He needed more friction, more touching, but Dib was no longer on his lap, so even when he rolled his hips up, he didn't make contact. Growling and purring at the same time, Zim bit back his frustration as waves of pleasure soared through his body, the human knowing exactly where to touch to get his heart racing. Where to bite him to make him squeak, purr or moan the loudest. Zim took the liberty of moving his hands down again to Dibs butt, reaching around to tug at the panties, pulling them slightly to try and get them to come off.

"Whoa there big guy," Dib said as he reached around to grab Zims hands, bringing them around so he was holding the claws against his chest, a devilish light brightening the gold eyes as he stopped Zims movements from going further. "I want to have a little more fun without your hands getting in the way OK?"

Zim was in a daze, not registering what Dib had said, just that his hands were no longer on the underwear. He wanted the human naked already! He didn't think he could hold out any longer. And if they didn't start moving soon, he really was going to go crazy.

Cool metal clicking around his wrists brought him out of his foggy daze really fast, especially when he couldn't move his hands from behind his head. Zims whole body froze as he peered above his head to his wrists, now sporting the handcuffs Dibs outfit came with. They were connected to the bars of the head board so he couldn't move them downwards or around, keeping him locked in place. He would have been worried if they were of a higher grade material, but judging from the look Dib was giving him, the human knew he could get out of the cuffs if he really wanted too, so he wasn't in danger.

However, the fact that Dib put him in cuffs had his brain sending all kinds of signals and messages. What could the human be planning? What was he going to do? And by Tallest he better do it soon!

Zims breathing escalated as Dib began to move downwards, taking the bed spread with him so he could expose the rest of Zims body, moving slowly over the Irken so Zim could watch what he was doing. he kissed and licked his way down Zims chest, earning a few squeaks and moans for his trouble.

"What are you planning human? We've definitely never done anything like this before." Zims voice was breathless as he spoke, but he was genuinely curious, knowing the human wanted to try something like this gave him a few ideas for later, but he shoved those thoughts away and tried to focus on Dib.

"Just thought it would be fun," Dib answered with a sly grin, hooking his fingers in the waistline of Zims pajama pants and giving a firm tug, making Zim gasp as the garment was pulled away, leaving him completely nude to the teen above him. "And besides," Dib licked his lips, "This way when we celebrate the anniversary of deciding to sleep only in one room for the rest of our lives, we can forget about the awkwardness of the day, and just remember the wild night we had."

Running his hand down between Zims legs, feeling around the skin until he felt the member within the hidden pocket, he began to massage the area, keeping his eyes on Zim while he began the process of extracting the member. "I wanted to lighten the mood for us, so I figured if we made this activity a little bit more interesting, we wouldn't be so awkward about sleeping in the same room together." Zims breath hitched as Dibs fingers slid over the sensitive skin, letting out a rather loud moan as he felt the skin surrounding his member begin to give way, and for his member to emerge little by little. It must have been the handcuffs, or Dibs outfit, or something about the night, because Zim couldn't remember ever being this turned on before. The feeling of Dib touching him was so intense, it felt like he was going crazy, he tried to shift his legs but Dib was between them, keeping them open. The way those fingers moved, it had him arching back, head pressed into the pillow hard as he gripped the bars on the headboard, needing to find purchase as his member became more and more aroused. He was panting and sweating by the time his member fully extended, his legs and arms shacking and his stomach contracting. He wanted to move, he needed to move, wanted to touch the human but the handcuffs were keeping him confined. Too lost now in the pleasure to realize he could have used the PAK legs to get him out of their hold, just watching the human with wide magenta eyes for what he was going to do next.

Dibs face was aflame, more aroused now than he had been a moment ago, Zims loud moans and groans causing his member to become erect and stand at attention. Dib reveled in the power he had at that moment, smiling down at Zim and watching that green body move beneath him, writhing in pleasure and in need of release. Dib could also see the strain Zim was putting on the handcuffs, and briefly wondered why the invader hadn't broken them yet, though Zim looked like he was in a daze, so that probably explained it. All the blood in his brain left to fill up the other part of his brain which resided in his manhood. Running a finger over the jutting shaft, Dib chuckled as Zim gasped loudly, trying to buck his hips into the soft feather light touch and growling audibly when Dib pulled his hand away.

"Don't worry Zim," Dib cooed in his velvety soft voice, leaning down to lick Zims neck, tasting his sweat, "I'll make you feel all better in a moment."

Taking off the silk lace top, Dib moved to give Zim a hard kiss, his hand going to lightly fondling the aliens member as their tongues swept together. Zim gasped into the kiss, his moans fueling Dib onwards as he began to move his hand up and down slowly, collecting the pre-cum flowing out of the head.

Zim tried to hold back his moans, embarrassed almost with how audible he was becoming, realizing now that being restrained while Dib had his way with him made him exceedingly horny. Dib pulled out of the kiss with a gasp, their shared saliva dripping out of his mouth and onto Zims chest and neck, pulling his hand away from the member to get ready for the second part of the act.

Zim almost screamed in frustration as that hand left his member again, leaving him to burn for release, he was so close dammit.

Dib scooted back to begin removing his underwear, taking the guarder belt off in the same instant before moving to straddle Zims hips. Blushing furiously, Dib inched backwards until he felt the tip of Zims member at his entrance, stopping to move forward so he could reach behind Zim and touch his PAK.

Zims eyes shot open when he felt the human line himself up with his member, feeling the ring of muscle around his head before the human was touching his PAK. Seeming to know what the human was looking for, Zim released the PAK legs, curving the one forward with the lube compartment so Dib could get to it easily. Coating his fingers in the blue substance, Dib arched backwards as he smeared the lube around his entrance, making sure to brush his fingers along the tip of Zims member before moving to straddle Zim again.

"D-Dib h-humannn," Zim groaned out, "D-don't force y-yourself, Nnnhh." Zim could feel the human moving above him, the tip of his member level with Dibs entrance, could feel the heat of Dibs body radiating off of him. He wanted more than anything to be inside the human, but this was a position they hadn't done very often. Zim worried, through his lust, that Dib would hurt himself, though keeping the train of thought going while the human backed up onto him was a lot harder than he thought.

Dib had to really concentrate on relaxing his body, rocking backwards slightly as he felt himself line up with Zim, even though he was sufficiently lubed, Zim was still quite a bit bigger than him, so he couldn't rush the process. Dib gasped when he pressed down slightly, feeling Zims member penetrate upwards but meeting with some resistance, the head being able to breach but not the first set of ribs.

Zim made a harsh mewling sound when Dib began to encase part of his member, but when the human didn't go any lower, his heated mind took over, driving his hormone induced body into moving slightly upwards. His hips jiggling just slightly, he tried bucking into the human to help force his member deeper.

The green body moving below him, delirious with pleasure and arching into Dibs touches was probably the sexiest sight Dib had ever seen. In all their times with sex, Zim had never been the one below him for any length of time, Dib blamed it on the residual Invader mind state that told Zim he needed to be the one to conquer, not be conquered. In effect, Zim liked to be on top, they never really tried anything new, although Zim did like to use his PAK legs on the human, restraining him and taking over his body in the most delicious of ways. Dib would never say their sex was boring, they were always doing it in new and fun ways, role playing was probably the best since Zim liked to pretend he was the Irken tallest, leader of the empire, and Dib was his esteemed slave. This was one of Dibs favorite role playing games because when they got into character, their old rivalry was brought back to life, challenging each other and Dib being defiant in the face of his Irken master. Their sex, when they got to it after a heated argument (still role playing), was the hottest, intense kind of sex Dib could even dream of. But even that turned into a rivalry of sorts, even during the role play, Dib would taunt at Zim when Zim would finish first, egging him on in the face of defeat. But Dib had learned early on that Zim could finish first, but keep going for multiple rounds, while Dib was slower to cum, and could only go for about two. The vocal jabs weren't meant to hurt the invader, no no, Dib did it to make Zim just a teensy bit angry so theat when he was ready to go again, he fucked Dib a lot harder, making Dibs own orgasm that much greater.

When the role playing was over, the aftermath sex brought them back down to the role of lovers who just had a crazy night.

But right now, with Zim beneath him, arching his back and whimpering sounds of utter pleasure while Dib slowly impaled himself upon that red member, Dib couldn't understand why he hadn't tried this sooner. Now he understood why Zim seemed to like to restrain him sometimes, of course Dib enjoyed it too, extremely might he add, but he had never thought of how the restrainer felt. Looking at Zims pleasured face and arching back, Dib could see why Zim liked it, it made him feel in control, and Zim could do nothing as Dib gave that tight green body pleasure to the fullest extent.

Though he started to rethink the parameters of Zims control when the Irken began to grind up into him, his body going too far up in one good thrust, Dib lost his balance and fell a good inch further onto the invader shaft. A startled yell left Dibs lips when he caught himself from fully being impaled, but the forced movement brought a guttural groan from Zim, his PAK legs flexing for a moment before gliding forward, ensnaring Dib around his waist, keeping him locked in place and unable to lift up off the member.

Dibs whole body shook with tremors, his breathing snagged in his throat as he leaned into the PAK legs, glad for their support but not liking the fact that he couldn't move up from the forced invasion. His breathing was in huffs, coming in short gasps as he steadied himself, his insides pulsing around the member, familiar with the girth and easily opening wider for the shaft, finding it somewhat easier to push himself the rest of the way down once his body got used to the size.

Zim was slowly losing his mind, the tight heat of the human combined with his restrained arms had him on the verge of screaming. His claws gripped the steel bars of the headboard, clinging to the metal while his PAK legs encircled his human, stilling him form moving away, needing this to go much, much faster. When Dib let out the pained yell, Zims conscious ness woke up long enough for him to realize he shouldn't have moved too fast, but his more primal instincts didn't seem to care either way. They needed to move, everything in Zim was telling him to move, to grab the human and force him into submission, to show him who the true invader was, too-…..

Dib had completely derailed Zims train of thought when he shifted to sit, fully encased, on Zims member. His walls clenching and unclenching mercilessly while Zim made a purr/ whine in the back of his throat. Dib shuddered now that he could feel all of Zim inside of him, clutching Zims chest as he experimentally shifted his hips, getting used to the massive organ. Zim made an assortment of strangled sounds as Dib shifted to get comfortable, his green chest was heaving, moving Dibs hands up and down with each intake of breath. Dib was loving that face! The way Zim mewled when he rocked back just slightly, his expression contorted with pleasure and impatience, Dib knew Zim wanted his to start moving, and Dib was willing to oblige.

Reaching down to feel for the port that controlled the PAK legs, Dib fiddled with one of the mechanisms until he found the release switch, flicking it on so the PAK legs wouldn't be able to hold him down anymore.

As soon as they released Dibs hips the human began to move, forcing a startled yip from Zims green lips as Dib lifted up off of him, only to fall back down hard onto his member. "AHhhhnn- D-Dib!" Zim cried out, his claws making dents in the bars of the headboard as Dib began to thrust expertly up and down, getting faster and harder with each move he made on the Irken below him. Zims hips bowed upwards on automatic, helping the human as best he could with the thrusts, but feeling he needed more leverage, his mind going crazy with want, forcing his red eyes open to look at the human above him.

The sight he saw almost had him climaxing right then and there. The Dib looked absolutely stunning!, his pure white flesh glowed in the dim light of the room, full pink lips open in ecstasy as the pleasure seemed to be taking over. Long slender fingers gripped Zims green chest as Dib fought for purchase, his face a bright red as he huffed in exertion to the movements claiming his body. But when their eyes locked, bright gold meeting dark ruby, Zim felt a surge of want, it was so forceful in fact, that when his PAK legs went back online they instantly moved upwards, over his head to slash at the handcuffs.

Zim moved instantly when he was freed, taking Dib by surprise when he flipped them, Dib landing on his back with a gasp as the PAK legs moved forward to grip his hands, forcing them over the humans pitch black hair while Zim pumped into him ruthlessly. Dib was only shocked for a moment before Zim began moving, forcing strangled cries from his lips as they continued their dance, Zim now in control of the movements. "Z-Ziiimmmm" Dib moaned out, chocking back animalistic cries as Zim began to fondle his nipples, pinching them in time with his thrusts, swiping his tongue over Dibs neck while he groaned out words in Irken, finding the correct rhythm that had the human and himself moaning on a constant level.

When he finally hit Dibs prostate, the human instantly cried out, sweeping his long legs around Zims hips as his entrance tightened, forcing them together as Dib fought against his climax, wanting this pleasure to never end. Zim groaned out when Dibs passage clamped down hard on him, though he continued their movements, not stilling even when Dib bit into his neck, his fingernails digging into the skin on his shoulders. "Ah! Yes!... Zim.. r-right t-theeerrree! Oh God!" Dib couldn't stop his cries, even when Zims movements became erratic, those green claws gripping his hips, stilling his movements while Zim forced him to take every one of his hits. "D-Dib.. Zim is going too!" Zim dropped his head into Dibs neck, licking at the skin as his climax loomed upon him.

"Mmm me- me too Zim!" Dib gasped out, nudging Zims head from his neck, tilting so their lips brushed together, trying to seal for a kiss. Zim didn't need any more prompting and took Dibs lips in to his own, his body holding out for a few more thrusts before he finally came, gasping into Dibs mouth as Dib clamped down even harder on him, milking the seed from his member. Dib groaned as he felt Zim release inside of him, that hot fluid coating his inner walls and dribbling out down his thighs and onto the bed, his own orgasm shooting out between them and smearing against their chests.

Zim pumped a few more times as he released everything he had inside of Dib, continuing to groan in Irk as his orgasm drained him of energy, soon just collapsing on top of the human as they came down from their high.

They were both panting heavily when Zim finally rolled from the human, just staring at the ceiling while they tried to find their voices.

Dib turned to look at Zim, watching his green chest rise and fall almost as fast as his own, smiling smugly when Zim turned to look at him, his green face breaking out into a relaxed, content sort of smile. "Were gonna have to do that again sometime" Zim said as he threaded his claws with Dibs fingers, bringing the hand up to kiss while Dib chuckled beside him, moving to lay his head on Zims chest. "You bet were gonna do that again, I have a few more outfits to try out since this one seemed to turn you on so much. Though now I'm thinking I'm going to need more props if we wanna get really into it."

A devilish smile broke out across Dibs lips when Zim lifted an eyebrow at him, the Irken trembling slightly at the prospect of seeing more outfits of that manner on the human. But props? Remembering the hand cuffs another blush broke out on Zims face, but he played it cool, taking the humans chin and kissing him lightly before replying. "If you want more props Dib thing, then Zim has all the gadgets you could ever dream of, though don't think Zim will always be restrained, I've got a few plans for you in mind too that I've stored away." At Dibs shocked expression Zim laughed and said, "Better prepare yourself Dob worm."

Dib just rolled his eyes but was secretly ecstatic that Zim was getting into it, happy now that they found a new sexual game they could play with each other.

That night they slept soundly, Dib snuggled up to Zim, warm in his embrace, thinking contentedly to himself, 'I'm probably the luckiest guy in the world,' and with one last fond look at the aliens calm sleeping face, Dib too dropped off into slumber.

This was one of Dibs favorite memories, and one he would never forget for as long as he lived. Sure he and Zim had some differences, and they fought relentlessly at times, but through the year they lived together, and with more years to come, Dib wouldn't change any of it for the world.

He loved Zim, and Zim in turn loved him. That he realized, was all he needed to keep them happy for the rest of their lives.

**The End! **
