ZaDr - When Irkens cry- (This story now belongs to Billdipsinner)

Where do tears come from?

- a few days later- (3rd person p.o.v)

           He could hear them, he could picture them laughing in his head. Zim felt things that he didn't want to feel. It hurt, he hurt. He sat near his couch with his face cupped in his hands. He had no idea why, but he felt an urge to let 'streams of water' out from his eyes? No, that wasn't right, he thought. He remembered the time when the Dib-human commenced with the 'crying'. Yes, now he had it. The humans called them tears and the action of letting out these tears was called crying. Zim wanted to cry, he wanted to just let his tears drowned him.

By now Dib could barely stand being alone. His classmates barely noticed him, his sister couldn't care less about his well being, and Zim hadn't showed up to school in three days.  It killed Dib to wonder where the alien invader, well ex-invader was. He wouldn't admit it, but Dib really missed Zim. He needed to feel that spark that he felt when he kissed Zim. As he sat at his desk fiddling with his thumbs he devised a plan. He would go to Zim's base after school and 'check up on him', even though it was a spur of the moment plan Dib loved it. It gave him an excuse to see his newly found 'drug' once again. 

~Time skip, after school~

Dib rushed past Gaz, not bothering to stop by his locker. He ran out of the school building and to Zim's base. He knocked on the door awaiting for the lasers to hit him. To his surprise the gnomes were turned off and the door was unlocked. Dib took the opportunity to walk in watching for any traps. As he grew closer into the darkness he could hear a faint sound. *Sniff* "W-who's there" a small voice called out, trying to hold back the urge to cry. "Zim" Dib turned the corner to find Zim sitting in the dark covered in his clear/pink blood. His small hands were covered in cuts and his antennas laid down on his head signaling distress.

 Dib rushed to the little Irken and pulled him into his lap. "Why, did you do this?" Dib tried to sympathize. "Why are you helping Zim? Aren't I just a stupid fleshy inferior Irken?" Zim didn't even know if he could call himself an Irken anymore, he was hurt inside and out. "B-because I l-love you Zim, I think I always have. You're not inferior, you're the almighty Zim. I'm the stupid pinky-flesh monkey slave" Dib said letting all of his emotions flow out. He had finally confessed his feelings, there was no more waiting after this.

Zim loved the Dib back, but he knew he couldn't love, he couldn't even cry. "Dib, how do you cry? I might feel this love for you if I first learn to cry" Zim whispered as he was pulled even closer into Dib's chest. Dib wanted this moment to last forever, what if he never loved again? What if Zim couldn't love him back? What if this was a trap? Enough, Dib was tired of thinking about himself. This was about Zim and Dib had to answer the saddened Irkens question. "Well, you just let it out. Think about something really sad and then think of the its sorrowful outcome." and with that Zim finally let out the tears he had been waiting for.

Zim thought about the time he had almost killed Dib and about the Irken empire which rejected him. The more he thought, the more tears streamed down and burned his face. Dib reached down and kissed away Zim's tears gently. Zim lifted his head to Kiss Dib's lips, expressing his newly found feelings. "Where do tears come from?" Zim asked, he was to broken down to hide and pretend to hate. Zim needed this, he needed someone to love him. "From human tear ducts. I'm not sure if Irkens posses them though." Dib answered chuckling a little. He wanted to discuss more with Zim, but he accepted the silence that they now sat in. With Zim clutched tight to his chest Dib started to rock back and forth to sooth the Irken he loved. He would protect and care for Zim no matter what. Dib loved Zim. And now it was Zim's turn to announce that he loved the Dib.  "I think, I might posses the love feeling for you too. Zim loves his Dib." And with that both of the boys sat together as Dib began to hum along to an Adele song.
