Is it really worth all this?(Zadr)

Chapter 3}Banished to the empty void of my irken heart, until now

RECAP}so I simply closed the door once making sure none saw us and leaned against the wall,"Ok... so, what did you want to talk about?"

{Dib},"Ok... so, what did you want to talk about?" I asked and Zim looked away while twiddling his thumbs, after a few seconds he finally spoke,"I-i'm not going to try to take over earth anymore." My eyes widened in shock as I stared at the short, sorrowful alien boy," What? I mean, this is amazing and all, but didn't your leaders send you here to conquer earth to begin with?" Zim flinched and went completely silent at the mention of his leaders and looked away, only to re-meet my gaze,"Yes, but they banished me here a few years ago. I'm no longer an invader." His voice cracked slightly at the end and suddenly, for whatever reason, a wave of sympathy washed over me,"But they only sent me here, as it turns out, to get rid of me and I was nothing but a useless defect to them." He continued but stopped as his voice cracks became worse, and the all to noticeable irken tears in his eyes on the brink of spilling over.

{Zim}I looked away from Dib and hurriedly wiped my eyes before any of the tears that were threatening to spill over did so, until a pair of warm arms wrapped around me and pulled me close to them, I let out a small surprised gasp. Dib Membrane, the stupid human that has been my sworn nemesis since the very day I came to earth. Dib Membrane, the stupid human who was the only human on this wretched planet who knew of what I was. Dib Membrane, the stupid human who I had always constantly battled in order to take over earth. Dib Membrane, the stupid human who was hugging me close to him despite everything I have done trying to take over earth. I didn't want to hug back but before I knew it, tears were spilling down my cheeks and my arms were secured in a death grip around him, and yet, he kept hugging me as countless sobs escaped my throat and I buried my face into his shoulder, the world around us disappearing as we held each other. Dib said nothing as he held me close to his chest and buried his face into my shoulder and smoothed his hand along my back,  silently comforting me as I cried into him. After what seemed like hours my cries soon turned into small sniffles and Dib let me go, waiting as I wiped away the remaining tears, letting loose a small smile as I looked at him,"So, what are you gonna do now?" Dib asked and I thought about it, well I didn't really have a choice but to stay on earth,"just stay on earth I guess, I can't really do anything else." Dib nodded and looked away before meeting my gaze again and holding out a hand to me,"Well, now that your not going to take over earth anymore. Do you maybe, um, wanna be friends?" He asked and I looked at him with shock and looked to the hand that was outstretched to me. It only took me a few seconds before I grabbed and shook his outstretched hand,"Alright, I'll be your friend." I said and Dib smiled and I returned a small smile, glad that our rivalry was over, for some reason that I can't comprehend. We both stayed like that for a minute before we both began laughing and Dib pulled me into another hug using our connected hands, both of us still laughing with small tears escaping both of our eyes. Dib Membrane, the stupid human who has hated me since we met. Dib Membrane, the stupid human who had tried furiously to expose me to the world. 

    Dib Membrane, the stupid human who was the only one to help me when I needed someone.

                                                       Dib Membrane, my only known friend.
