The dismissal bell rings and all of the weary Hi Skool students rush out of their much hated classes, excited to go home or with friends. Dib, however, meets Zim by the cafeteria with a gentle smile on his face.
"Hey, space boy." Dib greets, kneeling down to kiss his boyfriend. Zim blushes and accepts the kiss. Dib pulls away, raises up to his normal height — 5'8"— and grabs Zim's gloved hand, interlacing their fingers.
"Are we going to your house?" Zim asks, gazing at the lanky teen intently. Dib smiles and shrugs.
"If you want." The human replies, squeezing the Irken's small hand gently. "I wanna cut through the park and see all of the leaves, though." Zim scowls and raises a nonexistent eyebrow.
"Why?" He asks, truly perplexed by the human's odd desire to look at plants that they see everyday. Dib chuckles, increasing the alien's level of confusion.
"Well, it's fall, and the leaves are changing color. They're really pretty." Dib explains with a dreamy look in his hazel eyes.
"Zim still doesn't get it, but okay." The Irken says, rolling his eyes. Dib leads him outside and to the park. As the couple approaches the lake, Zim shivers a little. Dib frowns and knits his eyebrows in concern.
Hey," he says softly. "You okay?" Zim nods, still shivering. He looks a shade lighter. He's pale.
"I-I am f-f-f-fine, D-Dib-beast!" The alien insists, too stubborn to admit that he's practically freezing his ass off. Dib shakes off his long, black jacket and kneels down once again to match Zim's height — short.
"Yeah, right." Dib mutters with a half smile. "Here. Wear this, dummy."
The human wraps his oversized jacket around his boyfriend. It looks like a blanket on the small Irken. Zim clutches the seams, savoring the comforting warmth and scent of his human lover. Dib smiles gently and yanks down his long sleeves.
"T-Thank you..." Zim mutters, his voice nearly inaudible. Dib smirks.
"Oh, I'm sorry. What was that?" He teases. Zim shoots him an icy glare immediately silencing the scrawny, blushing teen. Dib mutters something that sounds like an apology, kisses the alien on the head, then picks him up. Zim curls up in Dib's arms, snuggling further into the human's chest and jacket. Dib smiles and places another soft kiss on the Irken's head, then carries him home.
