Dib was walking to skool with Gaz, as normal.
"I swear! I saw chickenfoot! He was right the-"
"Dib. Would you SHUT up?! I'm trying to beat this level!" Gaz scolded, not taking her eyes off the screen. Dib pouted and looked for the green skinned boy, and there he was. Walking on the other side of the street, Zim was kicking absently at a decent size rock. Dib saw Zim smirk and pick up the rock. Before Dib could react, Zim chucked the rock at Dib's head. Zim burst out in laughter. Even Gaz lightly giggled. Dib grumbled and stuck out his middle finger in Zim's direction.
Zim stopped laughing and pressed his lips together so they made a thin line and he turned his head away from Dib. Dib rubbed the side of his head where the rock had struck him.
"God, that hurt." he mumbled. Dib mumbled to himself the rest of the way to skool. Walking to locker 206, his locker, he shoved his back pack in and got the stuff he needed for class. When Dib sat down in his seat, he stared at the back of the green head that sat in front of him. Dib imagined that if he stared long enough, Zim's head would explode. Dib chuckled at the thought of it. Zim turned around and glared at the laughing Dib.
"Why are you laughing, Dib stink" Zim growled. Dib just smiled even more and said
"Oh, you know.... just fantasizing about your demise." Zim 'pffted' and turned back around to focus on Mrs. Bitters ranting on about our doom. Dib took out a blank loose leaf paper and began to doodle. He hummed a random off key tune and looked down at what he was drawing. Dib's eyes widened in horror. The picture was a sketch of Zim and Dib looking up at the stars. Doodle Dib's arm was wrapped around doodle Zim's waist and it looked as if they were..cuddling. Dib cleared his throat, folded up the paper, put it in his pocket, and raised his hand.
"Yes, Dib?" Mrs. Bitters said half heartily.
"Um, can I- may I go to the bathroom...please?"
"Fine, whatever, just make it quick."
Dib basically jumped out of his seat and ran out of the door. Zim thought Dib looked suspicious, so he followed Dib. When Dib got to the bathroom, he went to the stall farthest away from the door and locked it. Sitting on the toilet he sighed. Zim came in soon after.
"Dib stink? What are you up to?!" Zim's spider legs pushed him up and over the stall door so he was in the same stall as Dib
"What the hell Zim! I could have been you know.. Going to the bathroom!" Dib blushed at the thought
"But I knew you weren't" Zim said with a smug face. Dib's stomach did a little flip, why? Dib didn't know.
"You look weird, why is your face turning red?" Zim leaned in close enough that his breath reached Dib's face. Dib tried leaning back more, and when he did so, his little folded up doodle fell out of his pocket and on to the unwashed bathroom floor.
"What's this Dib stink?" Zim began to reach for the paper, but Dib pounced on the paper and snatched it before Zim could.
"So, that paper is important, huh?" A devious smile spread over Zim's face and Zim grabbed Dib's arm and twisted it behind his back, causing him to drop the paper.
"No!" Dib tackled Zim to the ground trying to pry Zim's claws open. With success, Dib held up the paper in victory
"Haha Zim! I have wo-"
Zim punched Dib in the gut, and Dib dropped to the floor, groaning. Zim ripped the paper from Dib's hand and began to open up the paper. Dib just stared wide eyed at Zim as he opened up the paper that would demolish his dignity. When it was fully open Zim's smile faltered. Zim began to blush
"Dib I-"
"Oh god! Just shuuuuttt upppp! I don't need you to annoy me on this TOO!" Dib whined. Dib stood up to face the wrath of Zim. But instead Zim did what Dib last expected. He kissed him.
