Space Boy (Invader Zim X Reader)

Chapter 14: Down We Go

I've been here over a month now. Not much had really happened. Me and Zim are very close friends and Dib is not happy about it at all. There were moments when Dib accused me of being an alien like Zim. Of course I ignored it because it was stupid to even think that I was an alien. Zim, of course, also denies being an alien. I laugh deep down when he tries to hide it though. Whether he shows off by how good he can sit on a chair or chew a plastic fork at lunch, Zim will do anything to make sure he blends in. It will never matter because Zim sticks out like a sore thumb.

On a sunny Friday afternoon, the school day ended and I was packing up for the day. Dib had not talked to me in awhile. I was a little hurt by that but it was his choice. Just because I'm friends with his "moral enemy" or whatever he calls Zim he flat out ignores me or tells everyone I'm an alien.

This day, however, Dib showed up at my locker. "H-Hey (Y/N)," Dib says behind me, stuttering his words, "we haven't talked in awhile, huh?" I heard him chuckle softly. I zipped up my bag as a response. "Yeah so I was wondering if maybe you wanted to go werewolf hunting tonight. It's going to be a big moon apparently! They'll be plenty of werewolves around here!" I heard him say. I turned around to meet his face.

Dib looked like he hasn't slept in awhile. He looked absolutely exhausted. Not only that but he seemed to be nervous. His face was all flustered and I could not figure out why.

I glanced him up and down, scoffed at him, then walked away without saying anything. "Wait!" I heard him call but I kept walking. If Dib were really my friend, he wouldn't have had acted like such a jerk to me and spread false accusations about me.

After getting annoyed with Dib, I stopped dead in my tracks and snapped at him. "What do you want from me?! Leave me alone!"

Dib was taken aback by my tone. I guess he didn't know that I could be this angry. He flew his hands up in defense. "Woah (Y/N)! I haven't even done anything to you yet!" Dib fearfully said. "Yet?" I questioned him, getting awfully angry at him. "Well-no-I-" Dib kept stammering over his words till I got fed up with him.

"Listen Dib. If you were really my friend, you wouldn't be mad at who I was hanging out with and you wouldn't accuse me of being an alien!" Dib decided to become angry as well. "Well you went behind my back and left my side for Zim!" Dib argued. "I can hang out with whoever I want to. At least Zim doesn't care about who I am and he actually notices me unlike some people." I attacked Dib. I was hoping he understood what I meant by that.

School already ended. There were not many students in the halls. I wasn't sure where Zim was but I was sure that he was lurking around somewhere. Without a doubt in my mind Zim was eavesdropping.

Sadness clouded Dib's features. He looked disappointed. He looked down to the floor. "You didn't even say goodbye (Y/N)," Dib mutters, "I didn't even know where you went."

I felt guilt run through me. I did not have the chance to say bye to Dib. I never realize that I did not. I was even more ashamed with myself that we have not kept in touch over the years. Maybe things would have been different if me and Dib were still friends. I shouldn't have left elementary school. I should have not cared about what others say about me.

Dib looks back up with me, his eyes were watery. "I've missed you..."

"OKAY ZIM IS GETTING BORED NOW!"

And with that, Zim barged right in to our conversation. "I will admit as much as I love to see the Dib cry, I must confess that I was getting bored of your schmoopiness!" Zim exclaimed as Dib became upset. "Zim! Why do you ruin everything?!"

"Because this is about me, not you." Zim grins in a snarky manner.

Dib gives me a sad look and walks past me. I will never understand that dude. Zim taunts Dib as he leaves the school. After Zim laughs for what seemed like five minutes, he grins at me, eying me up and down. "(Y/N) Friend I hope you're doing humanly today." Zim says as I cocked my head confusingly. "Uh...I guess I don't know." I responded. "Excellent, now follow me." Zim orders as he reaches his hand-claw out to me. I couldn't help but become flustered by Zim. I have developed a little crush on Zim
I hate myself for doing so, knowing he is an alien. It's not everyday that you see one, and I was horrible at talking to guys. Zim was a unusual acceptance. Taking his hand, he walks me outside.

It's funny, me and Zim have not spoken about what happened the first time I went over his house and the rain incident. I have not seen Zim without his disguise since then. It almost seems that Zim has forgotten about it entirely or maybe just doesn't dare as much. For awhile I hoped that he would reveal hisself to me again. I didn't dare ask because I was anxious of what Zim would do or say to me. How would he react?

I dream about Zim. Embarrassingly I dream about this boy a lot. Something about him was just so attractive, but I couldn't figure it out. Was it his mannerisms? The way he treated me? Or did I physically like him? I'm pretty sure it's everything. I didn't care that he was an alien. As a matter of fact, it made Zim multiple times hotter.

Something is really wrong with me, but I can't choose who I want to crush on and fall in love with.

Zim drags me to his house. I have not been to his place in a few weeks, nor did I care. I hadn't asked Zim to come over my house yet. I'm not sure if I ever will. Imagine the questions I would get from my parents.

He kicks the door, not caring if it falls off the hinges. Gir was watching some funky looking cartoon on the couch, hanging upside down. Gir lazily turns his head over to us but then becomes horrified. "Master and person, you're on the ceiling!" Gir panics, trembling at the sight he saw. Zim threw his head back in annoyance. He stomped over to Gir as the little robot became more scared. I couldn't help but laugh quietly. Zim lifted the screaming robot up and sat him on his bottom. Gir's behavior switched immediately. "Woah!"

As Gir and I wave at each other, Zim calls me over to the kitchen area. I follow him as he stands next to a...toilet?

"Why is there a toilet in the kitchen-"
"Since you and I are the bestest friends, I am inviting you down to my secret lair! BE HONORED!"

Wait what?! I didn't even realize that Zim saw me as his best friend. That's cool and all but he really said his secret lair!

I didn't know what to say except for a small nod. I was amazed that he trusts me that much. I really did feel honored.

Zim lifts his leg over the toilet bowl. He stands in it as he looks at me. I couldn't help but start to feel sick. "Please don't tell me you actually don't use that toilet." I shudder. Zim smirks as he pulls down the flusher, circling down into the bowl. I gasp, a little too loudly, as I ran over to watch him go down. I peak my head in as Zim literally shoots down the tube. The toilet was basically an elevator to go into his lair!

It reminded me of those water slides at a water park. The one where you stand on a platform and the platform drops you off and you're sent off flying threw the tube of the water slide.

After what seemed like a few seconds, the platform shot back up. I stared at it. I felt the anxiety fill up through me.

"So are you going to go or are you just going to stand there?" I heard a deep computerized voice sound out in the room. I thought it was Gir but he was still sitting on the couch watching television. "Who's there?" I asked cowardly. "I'm Zim's computer. Now are you going? Zim gets pretty impatient." The computer responded. "I-I guess but what do I do?" I question to the computer.

I heard a squeal and small running. Knowing it was Gir, I turned to face him behind me. "You gotta stand in the toilet!" Gir answers me enthusiastically. I nodded nervously.

Shaking, I lift myself over the bowl and stand on the platform. I look at Gir, who was now cheering for me. "Now you pull that chain and WHOOSH! You're gone like a bird leavin' the nest!" I glance up at the rusty looking chain. I gulp at it. Suddenly all these doubts came across my head. What was I doing? Why am I doing this? Was I really standing inside a toilet bowl just so I could see my alien-crush's lair? "Y-You know what I think I'm just gonna leave-"
"I GOT IT!" Gir yells as he runs over. He jumps right on the chain, causing me to get sent down to the lair Zim was in. I screamed bloody murder. I didn't expect this platform to go down so fast! I heard Gir's echo laughter from above and the light of the house getting smaller and smaller.

I don't think I have ever been so scared before in my life.

Lmaooo so for this last part I looked up images of the toilet in the base.

Let's just say that there's some weird shit out there. 💀
