You remember that little ZaDR I was writing and still currently under construction? Here's a deleted chapter. Eat it up. Please.
I all but ripped poor Dib's tongue out of his mouth. He struggled with me for a minute but he finally pushed me off of him. "Zim, hey, relax." "I can't. I'm really excited, Dib." "Would you tell me why?" "I can't. Not yet." He sighed. "Please?" "Not yet. I will, I promise." He made an emokid face. "Okay..." "Dib, it's not working." He looked down at the floor. "I don't care anyway." "Dib, I'm going to--" "I know. I know." I hated when he did this. "Fine I'll tell you. Do you remember what happened today 9 months ago?" August 29th, the day fate changed for me. I was no longer an unlucky stupid b*****d. I was an unlucky stupid b*****d with an abnormal like for a certain boy... "No. Not really. Should I?" "You don't remember, honestly?" "If I did I would have said so." "Think back, think hard." "The first day of skool. I don't know, Zim." "Okay, you're there. Who was at your house that day?" "Um...you?" I nodded. He looked up from thinking and smiled. "Oh. OH. I get it now. Today was THE day." "Yes, THE day." "Realization day!" "YES!!" "Oh my God it's been nine months??" "Seven for us..." "Oh. I like nine better." "Okay, nine..." "So now I get it." I nodded. "Yeah. Today's going to be a good day." *** Famous last words. "CAL!!" I whisper-screamed during study hall, where we were completely free of all teachers. "WHAT??" "Do you have any food?" I hadn't eaten since yesterday. I burned a lot of calories, too, with Dib. biggrin "Yeah, d'you want chocolate?" I nodded. She threw me one of her Irken diet bars, which I had recently become addicted to. I stole a glance at Dib, who was talking to Zita about God knows what. I'd rather be oblivious. I peeled away most of the paper and took a bite. Sweet diet deliciousness. "Hey, Zim, I have a question..." I hated that voice. "Oh do you?" I turned around and faced Torque. "I do...When are you going to come out?" "Come out of what?" "The closet, dumbass." "Torque, shut up. You're such a jealous b*****d." Jess rushed to my defense like the good friend she was. I didn't know what I liked about her but we were friends none the less. "Don't defend him. And you are so in the damn closet." I was so pissed. "You just took all the joy out of eating..." I set it down on the table and swallowed. "Listen to be, douchebag, I'm not hiding anything. Are you trying to start s**t with me again?" "No, I'm trying to get you to admit you're a ******** f*****t--" "Torque! Shut the hell up!" Jess hissed. "What are you saying now?" Spoon stopped kissing Cal's a** for a minute. They were both staring at me like I did something wrong. "You said it before, Cal, Zim's gay--" "I NEVER said Zim was gay. Zim's my friend, asswipe, I wouldn't say that." "REALLY GOOD friends." Spoon said. "******** off, Spoon." I grumbled. "You did say he was gay; it was an accident but all the same--" "Now you're lying." "WHEN will this end? People have been accusing me of stupid s**t like this since I was 10. Now you're pulling out the gay card. Can you think of anything less annoying to do?" "Just admit it and I'll leave you alone." "I can't admit something that's not true." Thank God I could lie. And lie well. Dib looked over for a split second but then he looked back at Zita. He wanted no part in this. Neither did I but... "It IS true." "Are you jealous because I have better taste than you? Just cuz I can dress myself doesn't mean I'm gay." "I'm not jealous of you for anything." "So what then?" "You know what, then." "Oh. I see it now." I smirked and leaned back in the desk. "Jess, do you see it?" She looked at me like I was nuts. I leaned over and in her ear I jokingly said, "Torque likes Zim..." She knew I was joking as soon as I said it, but she still went with it. "That makes perfect sense. It's okay, Torque, a lot of people experience these things. Guys always have crushes on other guys but it's not something to get worked up about." "You dumb b*****d." he looked at me. "I can't believe you'd think that." "My question is this: I have only dated girls since I've known you." A lie, but what did he know? "So what makes you think I'm gay?" "Zim, you're dripping with it." "With what, homosexuality? I told you already: just cuz I look better than you doesn't mean I'm gay. Have you ever heard of METROSEXUALS?" Cal laughed. "No, there's no way you're only metro--you're full on--" "How do you know? Honestly. Besides, I don't have a need. Like some people need to be gay, but I'm in good shape. Girls love me because I'm a badass." Cal raised an eyebrow at me. I did a quick side glance at Dib and, thankfully, he and Zita were just talking. I hated when stupid things like this happened to us. One of us always had to act oblivious and then apologize like a freak... Usually me. I didn't hide my guy-loving side well. twisted "You're so much like a chick." "You're so much like a dumbass. If you think I'm so gay, why don't you try it out, huh?" "What?" Jess smirked. "Give it a test-run." He just gave me this stupefide look. "Give ME a test run." I opened my eyes really wide when i said "me." His face turned beat red. "You're offering that? Doesn't that make you--" "Oh, no, this offer is for you only." I leaned forward. "You're special." "You're such a b*****d." "No one says no to me, Torque. Girls like me cuz I'm a badass; Guys like me cuz I can't keep my clothes on." Jess about pissed her pants. Cal and Spoon watched me like a hawk, seeing what I was going to do. Dib was laughing at something Zita said. I loved that laugh. Nevertheless I was busy so I couldn't enjoy it. I leaned forward more so I was right by his face. "All you have to do is say the word and I'm all yours, Torque..." I said it like I meant it. Jess bit her lip so she'd stop laughing so much. "********. You." Torque said, but he didn't move. That was a little strange. "Maybe Torque's the f**..." Spoon whispered. I shrugged and started to lean back. "Like I said, just say the word--" He shocked the Hell out of everyone there. And disgusted me beyond anything i thought my mind could comprehend. The utter disgust I felt at that moment-- Torque grabbed ahold of my shirt collar and pressed his lips to mine. I was so thrown I didn't know what to do. I heard Cal and Jess gasp like he'd shot himself in the head. Which maybe he had. I would make his life a living hell if I got the choice. I looked around like, "What the Hell??" Torque pushed me back away from him and stood up. Just before he walked out of the room I heard him say something but it didn't sound like words. I just looked at Cal for a minute and her mouth dropped. "Oh, God, I'll never get the taste out of my mouth..." I walked up to the garbage can and made myself vomit. Cal threw a water at me. "Thanks...And you kissed that mouth?" I pointed at the door. Cal shrugged. "Didn't know he liked you too." Spoon eyed me for a minute. "Did you like it?" I just stared at him. "Are you ******** serious? Did you just SEE THAT!? He ******** MOLESTED my MOUTH, dude!" He shrugged. "I mean, he liked it; just wanted to know if you did too." I chugged that water. "No, I didn't. Would you kiss him?" "No." "God...Seriously, what's wrong with him?" "He's got a crush on you." Jess laughed. I rolled my eyes back in my head, stealing a look at Dib before I did so. Still not phased. Wait, wait... A small sideways glance at me with a half smile. That meant he knew what happened. He wasn't mad; he was making fun of me. Either that or he was really pissed and was laughing at something Zita said again. Either way, I was pissed. I shook my head. "Are you still sick?" Jess rubbed my back like that was supposed to help. "YES and I'll probably be sick for the rest of the week..." "Dude, Torque kissed you. What a douchebag. And he called YOU a queer." I put my head down on the desk. Why did this s**t happen to me? *** "What the ********??" I was appalled. "He said he can't talk to you today." Gaz smiled. "You are contaminated." I banged my head against the front door. "Damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it..." "Zim, stop." Gaz put her head in the way. I stood back. "Why? Why me?" "Zim, I was kidding. Dib's upstairs...I stole something from you and Dib's in it right now." "Oh no, not my mantastic man-thong!!" "What? No! Just go look. By the way, happy 9 month anniversary." "Thank you. Get used to saying happy aniversary. You're soon going to be my sister-in-law." "You're going to marry Dib?" "If I can. If he wants to. If Dib says I can." She laughed. "Get up there." "Did you help him get into this...whatever it is you stole from me?" "We made it look as close to the real thing as we could. I think you're more interested with what's under it than what it looks like as it sits." "I'm so confused." "Go find him. Please. That way I can go eat." "Oh, sorry. Didn't know you were busy." I dropped all my stuff from Skool on the floor. "You have condoms?" "Um, Gaz? Why would I need one?" "STDs." "Uh, yeah, I'll explain that to you later." "You can't get AIDS or anything?" "No, Gaz, I'm inhuman. All I can get is Irken STDs which I probably got from Cal and I can't pass those on to Dib anyway." "You didn't wear a condom when you were with Cal? What if she's pregnant?" "It doesn't quite work like that, Gaz." "What?" "You have to want a kid. One of you has to want a baby." "That doesn't make sense." "I'll explain it all later." I walked up another few steps. "Now I'M confused. So you can't get a girl pregnant unless you want her to get pregnant?" "Exactly." "So do you have twins if you both want one?" "No. Twins have never happened on Irk before." "Oh, right, you're test-tube babies." I walked upstairs now more excited then ever. I knocked on Dib's door. "Hey, Gaz sent me up here." Todd walked out of Gaz's room. "He's on the roof, Zim." "Ugh...more stairs." "If I was you--and gay--I'd probably say something like, 'He's bangin', boo.' No, wait that is if I'd be a gangster...Damn it. You know what I mean." I didn't even say anything, I just shook my head. Todd was an odd kid. I walked into the stairway and shut the door behind me. I didn't want disturbed. Especially if this was as exciting as they were making it sound. I started to get too anxious. I burst through the door. "DIB I NEED to see you. I--" My jaw about fell off. I about melted onto the floor. Dib was standing like I often did, leaned back with my pelvis stuck out and my hands back. He didn't turn around, regardless of whether he heard me. I was dying because I was trying to contain so much. There was Dib, dressed in my Invader Uniform, gunner boots and all. Black pants and Pak included. I noticed his hands were covered in my black gloves too. I finally found a way to move over too him. I put my head on his shoulder and put my arms around him so tightly, as though he might slip away. "You found me." he shifted around in my arms and latched on to me. "You didn't have to do all of this." "I know." he shrugged. "But I'm so glad you did." I let go of him and picked him up. "What are you doing?" he wrapped his arm behind my neck and held his hand to my heart. "I'm taking you to every Invader's favorite place." "And where's that?" "The bed..." "Wait, we can't be at my house. Not with my sister so awake and knowing all that she knows..." "Oh, trust me, love, I've got three beds at home. You can take your pick." *** I opened my eyes and embraced the warmth of the sun. I stroked Dib's bare back the next morning, just using my index finger and my middle finger. I traced along his spine, along his shoulder blades, along the barely noticeable rib bones. I absolutely loved the way Dib was built. So different from me. So appealing. Dib hadn't slept very well the past few nights so it was only fair I let him sleep now. He was absolutely perfect, in my opinion, the way his hair just fell effortlessly into place, the color of his peachy white skin, the structure, the build. And all of those little insignificant insecurities he had, all of his aspirations, all of his nightmarishly real fears that he had, all of it added up to be what I loved about him. I thought I heard footsteps, but I listened again and it just sounded like heartbeats. Dib barely moved in his sleep, aside from his gentle breathing. I envied him for his ability to sleep, to block the world out and wake with reassurance and the strength to go forth with the day. I was just lucky to get some alone time anymore. Though my time with Dib was much more valuable. The heartbeats were louder, until I realized they weren't heartbeats; they WERE footsteps. I quickly covered the two of us, and I knew this was a bad idea. It was too hot for that blanket. But just in case. The steps grew louder until I heard them stop. I stared at the wall absently, not wanting anyone to ruin this moment. "Hey, Zim. so I see you celebrated..." she leaned around to look at Dib. "Don't look at him, Cal, he's sleeping." I knew that didn't make sense but I didn't want her to see him. It wasnt' her place. "Um, okay, spaz. Can you come here?" "No." "Zim! I need to--" "SHH he's asleep, dipshit." "Sorry. I need to talk to you." "So start talking." "I'm not whispering this whole thing to you." "Fine..." As soon as I went to move, Dib rolled over and buried his face in my neck. I couldn't move now. Cal looked at me like, 'come on...' "Cal, I can't. I'm stuck." "You want to be stuck." She snapped. That was a loud snap, too. She practically barked it. And of course, Dib woke up. Cal knew and was gone before he could see her. "Who are you talking to?" he mumbled, barely opening his eyes. "No one, love. I think you're dreaming." He shook his head. "I don't think so...whatever you're right..." He let his head fall back into place. As soon as he was back asleep, Cal was back. "Get out here, NOW!!" "I can't keep waking him up. And you need to shut up." i stroked the back of Dib's head. "stop petting him like a dog and get up." "Is this that important?" "yes!" "SHHHHHHHH." "GET UP." "Alright, turn around." "It's not like it's the first time I've seen your stuff." "Cal, please..." "Fine..." she turned around and I stood up and pulled my pants on. I walked out into the hallway. "Ooh, look who's all hot n sweaty." Cal rubbed my shoulders. I slapped her hands away. "Just tell me what you want." "Someone's angsty." "CAL PLEASE." "The rebellion is coming and I absolutely NEED TO KNOW if I can add Dib or not." "no, you can't." "I'll ask him later...And I need to know if you'll be okay leading a team." "Yes, fine." "You'll need to learn to fly--" "I'll do it later. Cal, I have DIB in there." "OKay? Fine. Before I go, though, I just thot you'd like to know that Tak is running most of the show." "Cool. You leaving to meet her somewhere?" "That's what I'm here to tell you. I need to you to watch my base till I come back." "I'll have Gir watch surveillence." "Good. Thanks so much." I walked back into the room shut the door as quietly as I could. I locked it, too just in case. I slid right out of my pants and under the blanket. The second I got back into the bed, Dib woke back up. "What time is it?" "Not time for you to be up yet." "Seriously." He yawned. "Um...7." "M'kay." "Why are you asking?" "Because I can...and you'll always answer." he was so delirious and so tired. It was amusing, watching him fumble for words. "That's true, I will..." "I don't want to go back to sleep." "You really should." "Why? S'not like I need it." "You do need it. A lot of it." "Ugh. But I don't want to sleep with you here." "Why?" "Because I want to be awake to see you." he yawned again. "You were awake all last night, and you saw everything, trust me." He laughed and his lids fluttered shut. "I know. I was there." "Stop thinking about it in your head. I know that's what you're doing." "No, I'm not, actually, I was just thinking." "About?" "Like, would we ever have kids? I mean, obviously not HAVE, more like Get..." I was hoping that was just a wierd dream question and not one of those slipped-out-by mistake questions. "Why, do you want them?" "I don't know. Not really. Just a question." "Oh." I played with his hair. "Hey I can't keep my eyes open so wake me up in an hour okay?" "Of course." He peeked out of his falling lids. "Please don't let me sleep all day." "I won't." He laid his head on my chest and fell back asleep. And since I had all the time in the world to think, I decided to think about kids. Such a wierd topic... I immediately decided against them. No way in Hell.
That's all, boo. Hope ya liked it.
