Part 5: Zim's POV
"Zim cares about you." I repeat. "I couldn't stand to see you get hurt, either."
"R-Really?" Dib asks. He's smiling.
"Yes! The mighty Zim does not tell lies!" I assure him. Then, he does something that he's never done around me in a friendly manner -- he laughs.
"I love you." Dib says. Immediately after saying those three words, he slaps his hands over his mouth as if he had said something he wasn't supposed to.
"Eh?" I say. "What does 'louve' mean?" Dib's face turns red. He pulls me closer and puts his mouth on mine. We both close our eyes and a few oddly blissful moments pass until Dib pulls away.
"I don't know how to explain it," Dib says quietly. "But, I feel it." He smiles.
"Zim feels something, too. I think it's the 'louve' thing." I admit, feeling my heart beat faster than ever before. Dib smiles. His face is pink.
"Good." Dib says, but then he inhales sharply, clutching his torso.
"Fuck..." I hear him mutter.
Part 6: Dib's POV
My ribs hurt like hell. I'm having a difficult time breathing normally.
"Zim is... sorry." Zim says in a soft tone. I feels a smile play across my lips.
"It's fine." I reply.
"I promise not to take over this filthy mudball with you in it." He looks into my eyes, making me smile again.
"Thanks," I chuckle. Then Zim does something unexpected. He crawls up on the bed next to me and curls up. I feel myself blushing as I wrap my good arm around him.
"Zim will never leave Dib."
"God, you're adorable." I reply. "I love you."
