Dangerous Desires

(This oneshot was requested by pandy_girl191)

Your eyes fixated on the movie in front of you, a psychological thriller that enticed you and captivated your whole attention with every line that was spoken. The blinds were down and the only visibility you had surrounding you at this time of the night was the blinding light of the tv screen that emitted its colourful glow towards you. A soft, cozy blanket wrapped around your body delicately as you snuggled into it for warmth, adjusting the length of it on you while keeping your focus on the film the entire time. As the movie played out, you found yourself leaning in closer and closer ever so slowly, patiently awaiting for the sudden plot twist that you were certain was to about happen any minute. Your mind raced with all sorts of various different outcomes, though you remained silent as you watched the scene play out, growing more and more suspicious of the ending to the film.

That was until a sudden abrupt clink from your right hand side had your heart nearly jump out of your chest as the front door burst wide open, an irritated alien making his way inside was what followed soon after. His voice was low, yet loud enough and full of uncontrolled irritation for you to pick up on his frustrated mumbling, uttering something incoherent to you as he spoke aggressively to himself in his native Irken language. Adrenaline had overtaken your body from the moment he stepped inside with that obnoxious thud of the door, yet upon watching him from the entrance of the house you focused your attention away from the film and gazed curiously at your alien.

"I'm guessing your plan to dismantle the earth's satellite didn't work out, huh?" You asked, watching as he continued to verbally lash out at the empty space around him. Before Zim could respond to you, an exuberant grey robot ran inside with his arms flailing happily in the air.

"I'M A ROASTED CHICKEN!!" Gir shrieked excitedly with a beaming smile on his face. You only managed to catch his appearance for a short second, but you were able to notice the unmistakable discoloration on the robot as his usual light grey exterior was caked in a more, seemingly charcoal hinted fragments of dust, almost similar to that of gunpowder. You both watched Gir run across the room and make his way out of sight down to the base below. Zim dragged a displeased sighed from his lungs as he reached out to slam the door shut.

"I was this close. This close!" Zim detested, pinching his fingers together with only a minor distance kept in between to accentuate his statement. "Everything was going well! I had easily destroyed that pathetic satellite you humans used and I was just about to replace it with my own more superior one! I was finally going to corrupt your planet's inferior base of knowledge and leak it with whatever lies and deception I wanted!"

"So what happened?" You questioned, noticing Zim scrunch the space between his eyes in displeasure.

"Gir activated the self-destruct switch and the whole thing combusted into thin air." Zim explained with another long exhale from his chest. You questioned why there would even be a need for a self-destruct option in the first place, to which Zim all but answered with a legitimate response claiming it was beneficial for his plans for some unknown reason. "Now I have to go make a backup since Gir destroyed that one!" With a stiff and heavy posture to his stance, you tilted your head ever so slightly as a sympathetic thought crossed your mind.

"Honey, you've been working all day. Let me help you relax." You suggested softly to him.

"Zim doesn't need to relax!" He declared with a sharp glare towards your direction.

"Not even for a little bit?" You questioned curiously, followed by a suggestive tone. "I'll even do that thing you like."

In that moment, you could see Zim's expression soften from a hardened posterior to a look of indecisiveness as he deeply considered your offer. His eyes held a flattering glow to them as he slowly and reluctantly stepped closer to you with an almost awkward yet delighted aura to him.
