ZaDR Oneshots (Invader Zim)

1st Arc of The Threat Is Real PT 4

Dib tensed up he could feel Zim was shaking and slowly wrapped his arms around him. Dib's heart is beat out of control.

"We... we need to get you to nurse. They'll stop bleeding right?" Zim asked weakly.

"Yeah, I can do it. You can get away." Dib told him as he got up and tried to walk.

He wobbled and Zim grab him. "I'm fine. I can walk." Dib explained.

"You're about to pass out dumb ass!" Zim wish he had something to stop the bleeding.

Zim picked him up bridal style and Dib seemed surprised by how strong he was. Zim opened the door and rushed a bit too fast using super speed to slide into the nurses office.

He accidentally scared the shit out of the nurse. Because one minute she's alone and suddenly they are both there.

"Uh so-sorry! Please help! He's about to pass out." Zim told her as he helped Dib to a chair.

The nurse starts treating Dib and even gives him some juice as she uses paper towels to help with the bleeding.

Zim just watch intensely as if waiting for the human to get better. He doesn't even know what to do. He feels like he's losing his mind.

"He'll be fine, but he's going to need stitches." The nurse assured him and he just nodded.

Dib didn't know what to say as he drank his juice. Maybe he was wrong about Zim? Maybe Zim wasn't evil? He felt so conflicted and confused about everything. To make things worse. He feels shy now around Zim.

Zim watch the nurse give him stitches and made a mental note to research human medical procedures and learn more about human biology.

"There you go. You should be all better." The nurse tells Dib, who softly thanks her, "Now then what happened?" She asked and Zim had no words. He wasn't going to say anything.

Dib was going to be fine, but he was the cause of Zim's sudden confusion. Zim felt so confused about his own reaction. He didn't even think twice about it. He just attacked the fcker. He didn't care when he dumped the tray on Dib's head earlier that morning, but when he drew blood... that's where the human crossed the line.

"Uh... Johnny was bullying me... he wanted my money, but I didn't give it to him. He got his friends to gang up on me. I tried my best to fend them off, but I uh... kinda fell for a trick of theirs and they got me in the face with a punch. Zim... protected me and got me away from them before they could beat me or him up." Dib explains vaguely still processing it all himself.

The nurse looks at Zim, "I don't think that was your fault." She tells him, "You did what you had to in order to protect a friend." Zim just weakly nodded.

"I'm going to call Miss Bitters and let her know what happened. The Skool security will no doubt throw Johnny and his friends in detention and she'll have a word with their parents... do you feel safe enough to return to class?" She asked Dib.

"Yeah... I think so." He replies, "I feel good now that I know I'm safe."

"Alright you two head to class now. I'll let the teachers know what happened." She walked off to call a bunch of people.

Dib looks at Zim as he's just standing there in stunned shock over everything.

"Z..Zim." He softly called to him.

"Y...yeah?" Zim answered with a weak reply.

"Why... why did you save me?" Dib asked.

Zim didn't know. He have no idea why. It was unthinkable. He just remembered he had to stop them. That he couldn't let that happen. He tried to think of something else.
