Hide n Seek

Chapter 4. Fight

Zim eventually pulled away, leaving Dib to pull away as well, speechless.

"...what was that?"
Dib mumbled under his breath, staring down at the blankets beneath him.

"A kiss? Thought you, as a human would know that"-

"No, no! I meant... what- why?!?"
Dib stared back up at Zim who was just looking at him without any expression. Completely lost of what he was trying to say. Dib moved himself off the bed, facing away from Zim and looking out the window.

"You... you are really finding some messed up ways to ruin my life huh?"
Dib jerked his body around, facing towards Zim to glare directly at him.

"What...?"
Zim murmured out, so softly Dib didn't even hear it.

"I mean- it's my fucking fault for being so comfortable with you! But even i wouldn't think you'd stoop this low??!"
Zims eyes contorted into anger, seeing Dib only glare daggers back at him.

"Just because you're shit at everything you do- doesn't mean you get to play with my emotions like that! I'm not your own fucking doll!"

"You want me to make your life even more terrible than it already is?"
Zim sneered, using his spider legs to sneak closer towards Dib, towering over him.

"I want you out of my life!"
Dib snarled back, standing his ground, no longer afraid of him.

"Even you know that'll never happen- you ruined my life! And now I'm ruining yours!"
Zim screamed back, pointing his slim fingers towards Dibs direction.

"How did i fucking ruin your life? Zim?!"

"You know exactly how you ruined it! It was your nosiness that ruined my respect from the Tallest!"

"Oh! Pleeeaase! They never wanted you in the first place! No one ever wanted you!"
Zim snarled with rage as he pounced towards Dib, pushing him hard against the stainless windows. Holding him by his shoulders, his sharp claws piercing his skin.

"I should kill you right now."

"Do it... you had so many chances to do it already."
Dib kept his eyes serious, not even one bit terrified. Zim looked down at Dib pinned against this massive window. His eyes warping into those of rage. Zim lifted his hand, shaping it into a fist and clutching hard as he shot it into Dibs face. Forcing his head to bounce back by the force against the window.

Dib looked back at Zim, his nose beginning to bleed. Dib raised his leg and kicked Zim in the stomach, pushing him away. Zim caught his ground looking back at Dib who had begun running towards Zim, but Zim was prepared. Zim launched out one of his robot legs grabbing Dib by the waist and bringing him up off the ground and then pullimg him straight down, hitting hard against the hard wood floor. Dragging him up again and throwing him over at a nearby wall. Allowing Dib to fall to the ground and catch his breath as Zim slowly walked closer to the bruised up Dib.

But Dib wasn't done, once Zim was close enough, he twisted around, throwing his leg against Zims and pushing him to the ground as Dib jumped on top of him, keeping him levelled below him. Throwing punches after punches towards Zim before Zim could grab his fists and fight against Dibs weight trying to push him off.

"Just give up Dib- shit. I am more powerful than you are."
Dib soured his expression, attempting to push harder against Zim.

"Bullshit... i am never letting you win."
Dib strived on, but he could feel his energy decreasing as Zim kept pushing on with full strength. Eventually Zim caught Dib off guard, moving Dibs hands towards the middle of his chest and pushing Dib completely back. Forcing him to fall onto his back as Zim now towered over him.

"Well looks like you just did."
Zim snarled as he pinned both of Dibs hands over his head. Dib glared back at Zim, only anger and annoyance showing on his face.

"Thats what i want you to think."
Dib suddenly lifted his head, headbutting Zim in the face. Zim screeched in pain, forcing him to lose grip and give Dib back his control. Dib levelled with Zim, pushing Zim down as Dib pinned Him to the ground. Catching his breath as he stared down at the smirking Zim.

"Oh suure, you wanted to let me believe you were letting me win- sure."

"Of-f course! Thats makes you lower your guard because you"-

"You sure it isn't just that you like me being on top of you?"
Zim snickered as Dibs face grew extremely red- quickly being due to rage. He jumped off of Zim, looking down at him with pure anger.

"Ah jeez, no! Why would i even want that?!"
Zim chuckled again, standing up and levelling with Dib.

"I don't know, why didn't you move away when i kissed you?"
Dib was silent, his eyebrows furrowed further than Zim believed humans could move them.

"Why did you even kiss me to begin with?"
Dib counter-argued. Zim was silent for a moment. Knowing the reason as to why but was hesitant about whether Dib would actually believe him.

"Because of the reasons humans usually kiss someone else."
Dib looked away from Zim, staring at something off into the distance.

"Because you've grown on me... and I've grown to, care about you."
Dib was still silent as Zim continued.

"It's more believable that you just want to ruin my life than you actually caring about me."
Dib cuddled his chest, feeling a slight tremble come. Zim was quiet as he stepped closer, raising a claw towards the damaging Dib.

"Well nothing ever seems to make sense in this world."
Dib turned around to face Zim right as he cupped Dibs cheek.

"But... you always seem to be the only thing that makes sense to me... and stuck with me."
Dib remained voiceless, a small smile hinting through his face. Dib closed his eyes and rested his head against Zims hand.

"You always gave me sense as well... it finally felt like i had purpose..."
Dib rested, hoping his eyes in almost like a dreamy like state.

"Sure- i was basically fighting against you but, hey."
Dib giggled with Zim laughing along with him. Both eventually looking back at eachother.

When suddenly a loud knock erupted from the door.

"Shit... do you think that's because of us?"
Zim swore, looking over at Dib.
