Chapter 7

So, here it is! Man i'm sorry I took so long. But I do hope that you enjoy and review! So read on!

 Dib was positively furious! How could Zim leave him all hot and bothered like this? Wasn't he hot enough? Did Zim like someone else? That thought alone brought tears to his eyes and caused his legs to crumple beneath him. He lied against the tiled floor, salty tears streaming down his face. "Zim has to love me! He has to! If he didn't i'd... i'd die." Get a-hold of yourself! This isn't you! This is that weird-ass serum! "No! I love Zim *sobs* if he doesn't love me then... I have no reason to live!" Dib realized what was happening, and it scared him. Deep inside himself he knew it was the effects of the serum but... Did Zim not really even like him? The thought saddened him greatly, he did love Zim but... NO! We're not going to succumb to this! We have to be strong! "But, but I can't..." If Zim doesn't love us, then we'll make him! "Really?" Dib could feel the serum affected half of him perk up, the tears stopped. And the more that SD (serum Dib, he decided) thought about it, the more he loved that idea. And Dib had to admit, the idea was starting to make him excited as well. His body stood back up and SD cleaned himself in the still running shower. Dib knew that he'd have to go along with this, if he didn't want SD to kill his body. He'd just have to put up with it. Even though... If Zim really did love me. I'd be so happy... SD went back to the room that Zim had given them. Dressing their temporarily shared body and snuggling under the covers. Sighing contently Dib smiled, perhaps this would all turn out okay.

Zim groaned and rubbed his eyes as he spotted the time. It was quite late and Zim felt that he deserved a full night's sleep. Making sure to bring the little fake smeet with him he went upstairs in the elevator to check on Dib before he went to rest. Opening the door and stepping in lightly, Zim spied his human's chest rise and fall periodically. Content that he was just fine, Zim moved to gently touch Dib's head. When suddenly, Dib's hand shot out and grabbed his own. Pulling him onto the bed and snuggling into his broad chest. Parting to take the doll gently from him and hold it between them, like it really was their child. Zim lost his protest when Dib fell back to sleep quickly, clearly expressing no ulterior motives for his actions. And really, Zim felt that he was too tired to argue. And that his human smelled so nice, and the bed was so warm... A

And before he even knew it, both he and Dib we're asleep. Cuddling into each other and their fake child.

The morning sun bled through a part in the curtains, irritating Dib awake. Who was surprised to find Zim beside him, but soon after Dib came SD. And SD nearly shrieked in happiness. Zim. Was. There! Honestly Dib could not remember why Zim was there but... Burrowing into the strong green body of his alien to block the sun, he felt content to go back to sleep at that moment. But SD was nagging him like an insesent fly, 'Come on! Let's do it now! I want him now!' Shut up, i'm tired. And we'll operate better with more sleep. 'Ugh! Come on!' No! I just want to- In his inner rambling with SD, Dib hadn't noticed the plush doll in his and Zim's arms. And with that, tears we're once again pouring like waterfalls.

Zim woke up almost instantly when he smelled the salty scent of tears, staring down into Dib's pinched, crying eyes he whimpered. "Dib-human, Dib." Softly kissing along his head with the tips of his lekku to comfort him Zim whined like an animal. "Dib, Dib what is wrong? Are you okay? Please don't cry human." Dib cherished Zim's comfort and soaked it all up. Just as SD looked up at Zim with sad eyes and a small smile. "Oh Zim." SD said softly, "I'm alright. It's just that this," gesturing down at the doll in fresh tears. "Oh Zim, it just make me so happy. And I love it so much, I love you." Zim was taken aback by those words as his face flushed dark green and his red eyes expanded.

"Dib, today i'm going to find a cure." SD was taken aback, "What?!" He cried, "Don't you like me?" Zim wilted at Dib's sorrow. "Dib-human, please. I must, there is something I must do, but I need the real you here." SD shook Dib's head frantically. "No, no, no! You just want to leave me! You don't love me at all! Without you I- I don't want to live!" Dib was scared, terrified now. He couldn't stop! It was SD that had control over his body now. His body that leapt from the bed and ran from the room.

Zim growled and ran after the boy, Dib said he couldn't live without him. Dib would kill himself, Zim would not allow that! He jumped atop the smaller boy and pinned him to his floor. Quickly wrestling the struggling boy to sling him over his shoulder. Running to the elevator and fighting to keep Dib in his arms as the both zoomed downwards. Down and straight into Zim's medical lab. Where Zim had those sedatives stocked. The sedatives he needed desperately right then. Suddenly Dib kicked his stomach and ran from Zim. Zim growled lowly and ran to the cabinet where he kept those shots. TUrning to find Dib with a knife to his own throat. Zim leapt forward and smacked the knife from his human's hand, but not before it could barely scratch the surface and a small drop of blood beaded. Zim injected the sedative into Dib's bloodstream and his struggling ceased. Leaving Zim to thank whatever and whoever he could that he was quick enough.
