A long way

chapter 9

Dib was on his way to Zims house. He just didn't feel right leaving Zim with some random alien he had never heard of until now. "I swear.. maybe...  Just Maybe Zim was just scared of him instead of being... Ugh... Intrested in him" Dib thought aloud walking down zims street. Seeing the aliens house which stood out.

He walked up the step and heard a bit of noise from inside. Then a scream which belonged to Zim. "Ahh! Spork no! Zim is- Zim is sorry- Zim won't do it anymore!! Just please no more! Forgive Zim!" Dib gasped

He saw their shadows in the curtains and could see Zim getting tackled.

Dib broke the door down Forcing his way in. He saw spork ontop Zim and spork had his disgusting hands all over his- zims body and even in the smaller aliens shirt. He even saw the smaller having tears in his eyes and a flustered expression as well as he was panting.

"What are you doing to him?! Get your filthy hands off of him now you bug!!" Dib shouted.

Spork looked baffled at the human who had burst into his and zims home. "Human—!? Dib, what are you doing?" Spork raise and imaginary eyebrow

"I heard Zim and- Get off of him!"
Dib ran into spork pushing him Orr albeit took a lot of effort. Spork fell off zim.

Dib pulled Zim to him not at all assessing that he had just broken into someone's home, by force, and assaulted someone in their own home.

"Spork!" Zim pushed himself from dibs arms going over to spork helping him up. "Thank you" spork gave Zim a kiss on the head.

Now spork turned his attention to Dib. Spork wasn't one for violence. His body untensed. He held a hiss back in his throat. He let out a sigh instead. "Human, Dib. You obviously misunderstood something. Me and Zim were simply playing a game. And I'd like to clarify before anymore mishaps like that happen. I don't appreciate you touching my Zim" spork said as he lifted Zim up, holding him.
Though honestly spork hadn't truely and completely marked Zim. He hadn't taken the next step or technically gotten close to them.

"And what games involve you tackling Zim? Huh?" Dib raised a brow not buying it.

"Well it's a game, we made up. We touch each other's more... Sensitive... spots and see who well.. breaks first" spork explained face palming as this was a thing only him and zim did and he was telling it to someone else.

"O-oh I'm sorry for interrupting then.. ah well... Zim will you be coming to school tomorrow?" Dib asked. "Yes. And spork will too" Zim sounded quite excited mentioning that spork would be coming as well.

"Wait what?" Dib looked confused. No. He was hoping to see and speak to Zim alone without spork and now he couldn't with spork being there, how could he do that now?

No wait dib had a plan. "Sorry for the misunderstanding then. I couldn't help but be worried for Zim. I thought maybe you were one of those robots."

Spork tilted his head "robots?"

"Yes tallest red and tallest purple have sent robots to... Get rid of Zim.." Zim looked down "but! Zim is fine, no burns or nothing!" He clarified

Spork shook his head not believing this. "When was the last time they sent one. "Last month. They may send one this month but maybe they forgot about Zim..." Zim paused before inquiring "spork... They are afraid of Zim... Are you afraid of Zim too?" He looked up at him with a questio Expression. Zim thought of something backing up more towards dib, he shook his head.

"D-do you think that by.. being with Zim means nothing bad for you..." Zim looked down.

"Zim. No that isn't it!" Spork said frantically trying to calm Zim down before he got irrational. Because he knew Zim tended to get destructive. But he loved that about the smaller. The fact that someone so small, could be so destructive and determined at the same time. Was just so intreguing to spork and that is what drew spork to zim

Dib didn't know what to even do in this situation. He wasn't a relationship counselor.

"I.. Zim dosent want to see you right now. Dib take me to your base.. please" Zim covered his face.

Dib looked at spork. Spork knew he couldn't do anything to change zims mind he only nodded, in a way he was authorizing dib to take Zim. Dib and Zim walked together back to dibs home.
