Eventually reaching the point of paying. The worker announced their total cost with Zim handing them alot more than required.

Watching them put the money inside. Pause for a second, almost realising something possibly incriminating before quickly giving Zim back his change. Dib let out a huuuge sigh as they took their food and ran out of the store basically. Moving to a more peaceful park. Dib quickly devoured his meatball sub as Zim sat beside him, trying to fit the massive sub in his- unfortunately- small mouth. With Dib snickering at the side, watching him struggle.

"You alright there pal?"
He asked letting out a giggle. Zim just snarled his way as almost choked himself trying.

"You don't have to fit the whole thing in your mouth- what i use to do is eat one side and then the other."
Dib suggested, gesturing to his own sub, pointing at one side then tilting it to the other side. Zim looked back at his own sub, trying Dibs offer and able to eat his sub peacefully. Enjoying all the random tastes clashing with each other, being like a whole taste explosion in his mouth. Dib also enjoyed his sub swallowing a piece down as a question suddenly popped into his mind.

"Wait i thought you couldn't eat any human food? Cause of being an alien or whatnot."
Zim finished what he was chewing as well, holding himself back from devouring the whole thing then.

"I've been here long enough that my bodys just kind of evolved for this environment."
Dib nodded his head, intrigued that was possible in such short time. Dib turned back to face forward, seeing the light of the sun slowly fading- telling him he should probably look for some shelter soon.

"Also probably a good time to find somewhere to rest- where no scary bunnies can get us heh."
Dib nudged with his elbow, getting Zim to let out a touch chuckle, sounding like he knew he wouldn't let that happen again. Dib wrapped what was left of his sub and placed it inside the money bag, with Zim just choking on his instead. Much to Dibs dismay who tried to get him not to. Eventually they began walking around- looking at the lovely apartment buildings that seemed too good to be true.

"This would get you alot of stuff in human things wouldn't it?"
Zim questioned, lifting the money bag.

"Well yeah, but it'll probably be suspicious to pay a huge amount of money straight up- looking like this."
Zim looked down at their dirtied and messed up clothing from being in the woods, making them look more like the hobos on the street than a businessman in a fancy suit staying in those apartments.

"Wait! I have an idea then! How did i not think of it before."
Dib slapped his head as a joke, grabbing Zims arm and dragging him along.

"Cmon! Time for a makeover."
Dib quickly stepped inside a nearby tailer shop- just throwing the money at them, quickly getting them to just willingly get them perfectly clean and fitting suits. Making them both look veeery professional.

"Now we won't be suspicious one bit."
Zim looked down at the suit he was fitted in, new to the feeling and look. But seeing Dib in it as well, calmed his worries down and made him like it too. If Dib looked good in it then he should be too.

Later on they successfully got the most fanciest apartment room in probably the whole city. With a lovely scenic view of the city, an indoor pool. Personal spa and hot tub. Everything you could wish for. Dib slumped onto the cosy bed, his suits jacket and everything tight on him already off, slouching against a chair as Zim stood nearby, fixing up the cuffs of his sleeves.

"Aah this is sooo sooft- you should feel it."
Zim looked up seeing Dib slowly sinking into the bed, curious about how truly soft it was. Zim walked to the side of the bed, beside Dib, carefully sitting down and feeling the duvet with his hands. Right before two hands wrapped around his stomach, pulling him backwards, more onto the bed.

"Hey! Let go of Zim!"
Zim flailed around, trying to break free from Dibs embrace, pushing against his cheery face.

"C'mon you need to chillax for once!"
Dib stayed determined as Zim didn't stop trying to break free. Dib eventually was able to shove Zim onto the other side of the bed. Finally letting him go as he laid down beside him.

"See? Comfy isn't it?"
Dib asked, resting his hands underneath his head. Zim just crossed his arms, his face changing into a distinct different colour.

"I guess..."
Dib looked to the side seeing Zim still in his formal attire. A smile suddenly crossing his face.

"You're still wearing that?"

"Yeah! It's human clothes."
Zim yelled back defensively, looking down at his new suit.

"Yeah yeah- that's true, it looks good on you."
Zims face now became brighter as he looked at the relaxed Dib who just stared back with calm eyes.

"Thanks.... stupid Dib-stink... you looked hot in it too."
Zim complimented back, making Dibs own face heat up as he took in Zims compliment.

"W-what?"
Dib turned catching Zim turning to look at him too as both of their faces changed colours.

"What do you mean 'whaat'? Zim just complimented you!"
Zim again defended, sitting up and looking down at Dib to feel like he wasn't totally embarrased by how Dib reacted.

"Sorry, sorry- i mean thank you... it's just humans usually call another human hot when they find them attractive."
Dib sat up as well, fiddling with his fingers again and feeling his mind wonder all over the place.

"Oh... right."
Zim bit his lip awkwardly looking at Dib as he awkwardly looked at him. Man he didn't realise Dib was so naive. Watching him look away, fiddling with his fingers as his hair quickly began to fall in front of his face.

"Well i totally meant that."
Dib looked up, his eyes wide. Whole body frozen.

"What?"
Zim didn't answer. He just leaned forward, grabbing the back of Dibs neck softly, pulling him closer and connecting themselves together. Surprising Dib who swiftly closed his hands and balanced himself.
