Zim was humming softly, wearing his disguise while he walked with Dib. They were currently shopping as both guys needed new clothing. Dib was going to college while Zim just liked shopping with him.
"Zim, stop humming. It's getting annoying." Dib said, taking a small puff of smoke from his cigarette. Zim perked up and looked down, smiling less. "Sorry, Dibby." He said softly. Dib rolled his eyes before the two got to a mall. Zim stared at it, slightly nervous. He may have walked around town with many humans around but this was different for him.
He took ahold of Dib's hand, shaking slightly in fear. Dib looked at him and pulled his hand away. "Don't fucking touch me." Dib growled as he put his cigarette out. Zim winced at him and looked down, keeping his smile plastered on his face.
Dib walked in, Zim following after him. "Dibby, could I chose the first shop?" He asked, smiling at him. Dib ignored him and kept walking. Zim lost his smile and teared up, his three clawed hands gripping to his shirt. He followed after him again, trying not to make a scene. He was scared to make Dib angry again.
The last time he made Dib angry, Dib beat him till he couldn't get up. Another time, he forced Zim to his hands and knees and made him act like a dog for a day. He would hit him and yell at him, burn him with his cigarettes, smash beer bottles on his head, and more.
The only reason Zim stayed with Dib is because he loved him. He knew Dib was in pain and he knew Dib would hide his pain by releasing his pain onto Zim.
Dib looked at Zim and grabbed his wrist. "Come on, freak. We're here." Zim perked up and looked where the shop they were at and read the sign.
HOT TOPIC
Zim smiled slightly and followed after Dib. He liked this shop a lot but didn't know why. Waist the fancy and cool clothes? Was it the sexy chokers and skirts? He never knew.
Dib went around and left Zim alone. Zim went to a wall where skirts and dresses where hung up. He stared at them in awe before he noticed one dress. It was a pastel pink with a hot pink heart in the chest. It had a white collar and puffy sleeves and it just made Zim smile.
A female worker came to him and smiled. "Like the dress, my guy? I can get an extra small for ya." Zim looked at her and smiled, nodding. "Yes please! Zim would like to try on the dress!" The worker nodded and grabbed an extra small dress for Zim and gave it to him.
Zim giggled and grabbed the dress, running to Dib. "Dib, Dib! I found something I like! Come with me to see what it looks like!" Dib looked at him and shrugged. "Ok." He replied. Zim went to the dressing rooms and went in a stall. He then stripped, getting naked, Dib blushing slightly and staring at him.
He looked at all the scars and bruises and cuts he made on Zim over the years, making him feel guilty. Zim stared at his body, feeling disgusted by it. Dib looked away, ignoring the guilt. "Get dressed already."
Zim perked up and got the dress on before noticing how short it was on him. The end only went up to his thighs as his back was opened up. It was good for his pak so he didn't need to cut holes in it but he still felt embarrassed about it.
Dib looked at him and perked up, blushing hard. "O-oh wow, Zim..that looks..." Zim teared up and looked at him, starting to cry. "I-I know, Zim looks terrible in it..!" Dib frowned and got on his knees. "Zim, y-you look amazing in it! Why're you crying?"
Zim sniffled and hiccuped, trying to wipe his tears away. "I-I'm sorry, Dib... I-I know you told me to never cry b-but I just can't help it..." Dib felt worse and hugged Zim close. "Hey, I'm sorry ok? I don't ever mean to hurt you. I just...the depression I have is harmful and it makes me want to hurt you."
Zim hugged back, crying into his chest. Dib took off Zim's wig and pet his head gently. "Shh, it'll be ok Zim. Don't cry, ok? I'm sorry." Zim calmed down and pulled away. "...Dib..?" "Yes Zim..?" "Do you love me..?"
Dib blushed softly and sighed. He then smiled at him and kissed his head. "I do love you, Zim. Now let's buy you this dress and get home." He put Zim's wig back on. Zim smiled and took the dress off, putting his old clothes back on and leaving the dressing rooms.
Once they got home, Zim was smiling happily. He finally knew Dib loved him. He ran to his room and put his dress away before running to the living room where Dib was at. Dib looked at him and perked up when he noticed Zim was staring at him. "Uh...you need anything?"
Zim nodded softly. "Could I sit in your lap, Dib? I've been wanting to for a while now..." Dib chuckled and picked him up, siting him in his lap. "Sure, you little alien." Zim smiled and leaned into him, relaxing. This was the start of their now romantic relationship
