Waiting for this chapter wasn't that hard, I hope. Don't worry, I gave you fluffy cuddling to make it up to you. Your new mission though, if you like my style is to check out my StrongStar shipfic. They have a dynamic that ZADR fans would like. It's a slice of life AU, and you don't have to know anything about the Homestar Runner fandom...-butyoushouldprobablycheckthemoutanyway-
Zim's lip quivered as he stared into the face of his lover. The same thought rang through his head and felt like it was weighing him down. 'I did this'. "Just love me, Dib-mate." He caught the boy's lips in a soft kiss, a few tears building, one trailing down his cheek as he pulled away from the kiss. "I'm so sorry...Zim has ruined everything."
Dib hushed him softly. "It's alright, you just needed to apologize for once. You can make it up to me. We won't have anywhere reserved this time around, but maybe it'd be a good thing to just stay at my house and focus on each other." He grabbed Zim's hand and squeezed it, turning back around and walking home with him.
Zim's antennae perked, and he happily hugged one of Dib's arms as they walked, still holding his hand with one. "The Dib is so caring." The compliment rolled off of his tongue, and Dib smiled sweetly. "The Dib is handsome too and...and other positive things!" Dib rolled his eyes, chuckling. They made their way to Dib's house, opening the door.
Gaz didn't even have to look up. Her peripheral vision was fantastic from practise with handhelds. "Welcome back or whatever. If you're gonna do gross stuff with him then stick a sticky note on the door so I don't walk in." Dib blushed softly at what his sister said, then quickly made his way upstairs to his bedroom with Zim.
Dib and Zim sat next to each other on his bed, and just held each other for a good while, getting comfortable, adjusting and laying down, giving each other soft kisses, and maybe getting caught up in it and mixing in a rough one that would get eagerly returned. "I love you, Zim."
Zim blushed softly, and buried his face into his boyfriend's chest. Everything is so much more soft, sweet, intimate and embarrassing when cuddling! "Zim...Zim loves you too...or something." They both smiled and laughed at themselves. More kisses, more holding each other close. It was pure bliss.
"Zim prefers this a lot more than when Dib is angry at him." He purred, nuzzling the other and smiling wide. Dib nodded and spoke. "I like it a lot more too. You might get more out of it when you actually remember next year." Zim caught on to what he meant and blushed hard, nodding.
"I won't forget, not just because of that, but because it's the day that I realized that there's a human that has hope of not just being a smelly meat sack." Dib smiled and let out a small laugh, speaking again. "How romantic."
"Zim doesn't need any of that! That-..." "-on Earth we call that sass." "...any of that sassss!" Dib covered his mouth and laughed into his hands. It sounded so adorably funny when Zim said that. Zim crossed his arms and huffed, and Dib cupped his cheek.
"Aw, sorry baby. I'm kidding." "There you go comparing me to an infant! Are you still angry after all?" "I thought I told you that 'baby' was a good thing." Zim looked a bit dumbfounded at that, but just shrugged it off. "Humans are an odd little race."
Dib smirked and nudged him. "The one alien on the planet is gonna call us weird? We're not the aliens since we were born here; you are." Zim just looked away like he didn't hear him. Dib tackled Zim and hugged him, laughing until he snorted. Zim went on about how he didn't know he could make that sound. All considered, it was a good day.
