My Only The Only One

Chapter 5

Dib gently ran fingers over the smooth, green skin of the alien on top of him, letting his mind drift happily as the chemicals in his brain ran amok.

He'd just had sex for the first time... with Zim. As girly as the thought made him feel he was deflowered by an alien and though that was weird he couldn't seem to even make himself be bothered with it. He hadn't even given much thought to his sexuality before, always just figuring he'd settle for whoever could settle for him, which he pictured to be a plain, mild-mannered girl with almost no future other than a regular nine to five job. His gaze had strayed on a few pretty girls in school before, sure, so he'd never felt the need to question whether he liked guys or not.

But then, maybe he didn't like guys. Maybe he just liked Zim... or Zim was REALLY good at kissing. Either way, the alien was currently naked and on top of him, eyes closed peacefully in post orgasmic bliss.

Finally, after a few peaceful minutes of almost sleep Zim began to shift, pulling himself off the human and rolling to the side, red eyes open and watching. Dib turned on his side to watch Zim as well, expecting some kind of embarrassed explanation. When he didn't get one he decided he'd better ask or be driven crazy with uncertainty.

"What was that for?"

Zim looked confused a moment before the question really sunk in. "The sex?"

Dib nodded.

Zim pouted a little as he thought about it, antennae twitching as he pulled for some kind of reasonable explanation.

"I wanted to." He finally said. "For one thing it forced endorphins to my brain which helped the head ache. Also you were... doing things that made me want to."

"What kind of things?" Dib asked, unsure if he was asking so he was sure it wouldn't happen again... or if he wanted to do it again.

"Breathing into my antennae." Zim said, a shiver running up his spine as he thought about it.

"That turns you on?" Dib asked, reaching out a hand to gently feel at one of the stalks. This made Zim shiver again and he eyes slide shut.

"Sometimes." Zim answered, his voice sounding suddenly drowsy. "That what you're doing is more like a back massage though."

Dib smiled at how untroubled Zim looked like that before pulling his hand away so Zim could think.

"But, I guess another reason I did that was to thank you." Zim informed the human after a while.

"Thank me?" Dib asked. "For what?"

At this Zim shrugged. "Pretty much everything I guess."

Dib was surprised. He had a feeling Zim was grateful to him, but always figured he would be too proud to admit it. He supposed the sex as a thank you made him right.

"So, what does this mean?" Dib asked after a moment of thought.

"What does what mean?" Zim asked.

"This... everything." Dib said, a blush rising to his face. "Are we together now? Or was this just a onetime thing?"

Zim seemed to actually ponder that question. "On Irk we wouldn't be. Sex is very casual... I think so it wouldn't become a distraction and is generally considered healthy for one's mental state... but if you want to be 'together' I guess we could do that."

"Do you want to be?" Dib asked Zim, unable to help reaching out and touching that green skin again. He ran his fingers over an arm, the skin there was clammy from the sweat that was now drying and the cold of the room. So the human reached under them and pulled the sheets back up and over them.
