Babysitting with an aftertaste (Zim x reader) (On hold)

4. Parent night

But like every night story, it had a happy ending for Dib. He rescued me with his newest invention of an armour. I told him how brave he is, that he is my hero and bla bla bla. The alien got caught and Dib used his brain to gain the knowledge of the irken race, using the technology to protect the earth from other invaders.

Dib's eyes only get wider at this, waiting for one particular moment. I sighed, "She became his lab partner and they lived happily ever after."

"YES!" he screamed, jumping around on his bed.

"NOOOOO!!!!!!!" was the reaction of the irken, rolling on the ground. It seems even for him, the story got a little too much to his head. Bits of pieces came to his mind, on how humans experimented on him. He shuddered, "This will not happen...NEVER! I am Zim, the greatest Invader EVER!!!!!!!"

"So, my hero, back in bed"

"Huh? What is going on?" He did not expect that I would continue, but I did.

Zim couldn't see it but, I gave Dib a kiss on his forehead, "Now this earth guardian got his kiss for the night and now has to get some rest"

"Y/N?"

"What now Dib?"

He gave me a kiss back, on the back of my hand while holding it tight, "I promise you, I will protect you from Zim, no matter what"

I nodded, too tired to argue, "Of course you do, good night."

"Night Y/N"

"Sleep tight..."

"I will"

"...and don't let the alien eat your brains tonight."

"WHAT?!"

I chuckled, "Sorry, couldn't resist."

Dib frowned big time, "Get out of my room"

Still chuckling, I saluted before leaving, "As you wish...pfff"

While the light got turned off in the Membrane household, was it still up at Zim's place.

He was thinking about my story and what I said. He assumed that I talked about something that will happen in the future or maybe sooner than that. It frustrates him that I didn't say anything about my plans. Now Zim got even more questions to deal with than before. Especially the kiss part, he never heard of such a thing before, "She gave him a 'kiss for the night', what kind of human thing is this? A device? Some chemical substance? Some human technology I do not know of. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

His stress level reached its peak, till he collapsed in front of the television, along side his robot Gir. He watched the channel with the monkey again, feeling happy with its nachos and cheese. Zim only began to whine, "This human will be the death of me."

His fear remained even in school.

Zim checked every corner in case I would pop up from somewhere. Unaware that another human had the idea, scaring the alien big time. Making a 'boo' sound, Zim fell backwards into a puddle, making him scream in pain.

Dib laughed happily at his success, "What the matter Zim, cant handle the water?"

"How dare you scare the almighty ZIM!!!!! Ah its still burning!!!!!!"

In class wasn't it any better. The green boy looked unnerving, making his class worried. He might be weird most of the times, but he was worse today. Ms. Bitters ignored his paranoia, as well as Dib mentioning it, "Tonight, you will be assisting to the partner and teacher night. No exceptions!" The entire class moaned at this, even Zim couldn't take it. His work was piling up, "I didn't agree to this...you LIEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!"

"Shall I show you the tape?"

The alien felt awful, "...no..."

"Then be here tonight and make sure your parents behave properly this time"

Dib chuckled, "Yeah Zim, make them act all normal...if you can." Zim had to listen to him keeping on about this all the way home. I couldn't be bothered to pick them up today, not wanting to hear his stupid obsessions today, as I had to listen to this the entire evening. The alien couldn't take it anymore, "That is it Dib, I will make sure that this time, everything will go smoothly."

"Oh yeah? We see about that. This time, I will have some support to help me out."

"Y/N?" Zim shocked himself, that he remembered my name that easily. Dib's finger got dangerously close to the alien's head, "Don't you dare involve her in this. This is only between me and you."

"Afraid that I might capture her Dib? Making her my experiment to get back at you?"

"You wouldn't dare!"

"Or wouldn't I? hahahahaha...scared of not getting your 'kiss for the night' anymore...hahahahahaha"

"I won't allow this to.... hey...how do you know about this?"

Zim looked confused, "About what?"

"The kiss"

"What kiss?"

"The one you just mentioned?"

"Did I? "

"Did you listen to us last night?"

"Like I had to, with your stupid kiss and calling me desperate and such..."

"HA...you were listening!"

"LIAR...YOU HAVE NO PROOF!!!"

"You just told me!"

"Well whatever Dib. You better keep a close eye on your precious tall human, because I will get her to fulfil my plan to destroy you all! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH...plus finding out her plan."

Dib growled deeply at the alien, "Good luck with that, I will see you tonight...with your parents."

Zim got tense, he forgot all about that. He didn't have much time to lose and find a way to perfection his robot parents till tonight. He needed some other way to get them fully functioning without causing any suspicion.

Meanwhile, Dib started his plan to make it harder for Zim, "Yes, child services, I am calling because I found a child. Yes, he lives all alone with his dog. No, no parents. They are robots, please check that out. You find him on the parents and teacher night in school. Yes, today. Thank you, bye."

His laughter could be heard all the way to Zim's place. The alien looked, seeing him laugh hysterical, "What a weirdo."
