Falling in Love with a Irken (Invader Zim X Reader)

DIB-STINK

Notes: None.

The rest of the school day was quite boring. You did however get a few looks from the two boys, Dib and Zim. It was starting to feel weird for how much they were looking at me and each other.

**Ring**

"Class, don't forget its parent teacher night tonight. So please don't forget to come. That includes you Zim!" Ms. Bitters said to the class, but mainly Zim.

Zim Runs up to her and points!

"I never agreed to such a thing!"

"Yes, yes you did Zim." She then proceeds to press a button and a screen comes down and starts playing a recording of Zim agreeing.

"Heh Zim, looks like you're going! I bet you don't even know what parents are" Dib says with a smug smile.

"Of course I do..." He then seems to recall some sort of memory as he reenacts it and hugs Ms.Bitters. I chuckle to myself for how cute that was.

"Y/N will you be coming tonight?" Dib asks me.

"No She will not be attending." Ms.Bitters came to my defence.

"What? Why not?! If Y/N Gets to skip, why Can't I?" Zim Looks rather annoyed at this.

"Thats private business. Enough with you all. Go Home Now!" Ms. Bitters yells and she sits in her chair waiting for everyone to leave.

"Well, see you tomorrow!" I start walking out the door when again I'm stopped by the grab of a hand.

I look back to see who it was and it was Dib.

"Y/N, let's walk home together. I have so many more questions for you!" He gives a cute smile with a light blush.

"I-" I was cut off and Dibs hand let go of mine when I see Zim rather harshly push Dib out of the way and he hits a locker.

"Sorry Dib-Stink! But Y/N Is already walking home with ZIM!" He points to Dib.

"But I asked first!" Dib says to Zim as he gets up and starts heading towards him.

They start arguing with each other and I start to panic.

"Zim! Let's go! I'll walk home with you today. Dib let's have lunch tomorrow?" I look at him and he just huffs but then smiles thinking about lunch.

"Sure thing Y/N...." He looks off and blushes at this.

Zim Seems to notice his reaction and then swiftly turns towards me, grabs my hand and starts pulling me out of the school. He had a look of irritation?

"Lets go, Y/N- Human".

We walk down the steps and he's still holding my hand. I start becoming a blushing mess internally screaming.

"Y/N..." Zim stops and looks at you confused. "Why are you so red? is it a defence mechanism for humans? Dib was red earlier too." His eyes looking directly at you. This only makes it worse.

"Well...Uh..." You trail off becoming even more embarrassed. "I am just feeling kind of hot right now...thats all!" You shrug and scratch the back of your head hoping he would believe your story.

"Eh, well ok then. ONWARDS to HOME!" He continues his walk again. HAND STILL HOLDING MINE.

"Um Zim?" You ask quietly.

"Eh? What is it?" Still looking ahead.

"...Why are you still holding my hand...?" You look up to him looking for a reaction. He pauses briefly.

Now it was his turn to Blush.

"Uh, I just want wanted to make sure the DIB-STINK didn't steal you away from me! That's it!" He snatches his hand away from yours and starts to walk.

You look at him. So cute. You Thought.

Pausing and closing your eyes briefly, deep in thought you decided you would go for it. You open your eyes and give an intense reassuring smile and catch up to his pace. Then you grab his hand tightly, intertwining your fingers together.

Zim Stiffed and had a clear look of shock on his face.

"What the-?" He looks down at our hands then back at you.

"Just making sure I don't get stolen away from you." You give a sickening sweet smile and a deep blush to your cheeks.

Zim opens his mouth to say something but then just closes it again. Not fighting it he walks with you hand in hand.

After about a block Zim Speaks up.

"You have similar hands to mine." Not daring to look at you. You turn to look at him and his face is so flustered. Has it been like that the whole time?

"Yes I noticed too. I have never met anyone with a similar condition to mine." You look ahead not looking at him. "You know. Dib told me you were an alien. He is dead set on that." Zim's hand tightens around yours for a moment.

"The Dib-Monkey is quite stupid. Of course I am a Normal Worm Baby!" He looks to you to see if you buy his story.

"If I am honest.... You are for sure different...." You trail off thinking on what to say next.

"But...Different is nice. It's a nice change. Everyone here is so boring and just Ugh, and you are not! Alien or not I am not one to judge." You can't help but give him the cutest smile and squeeze your hand to reassure him.

"Zim is Normal! But I do agree, all the Earth-Filth just are so smelly and dumb!"

"Am I a Smelly and Dumb Earth-Filth?" You raise your eyebrow.

"You Y/N...are different. Not as smelly or dumb as the rest of them." He states as if it was painful to say.

"Thanks I guess?" You look down as you walk.

The rest of the walk was quiet but comfortable. It was nice having someone like Zim around.

"This is my Base- I MEAN HOME! I WILL SEE YOU TOMORROW!" He lets go of your hand and starts walking.

"Wait!" You yell! He whips his head around.

"What is it now Human?" You pull out a pen and paper.

"I know we just met but if you need help with anything or just want to talk. Text or call sometimes?" You hand him a piece of paper with your Cell number and your name.

He just nods and walks inside.

What the hell was that supposed to mean? Was that a thanks? or an insult?

Either way You head home.

Zim's POV.

"Computer!"

"Whhhhaaatttt." The House Sounding clearly annoyed.

"Prepare a bio scan of my PAK. I think it's acting kind of funny."

Y/N POV.

"CHI! YOU ARE NEVER GOING TO BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED TO ME TODAY!"

Chi drops everything and comes running towards you and lunges at you.

"TELL.ME.EVERYTHING."
