IZ: ZADR Short (Message of a Dream)

Zim , sat alone under a tree as he watched the rain fall. He could not leave his place, the water would burn his skin like acid.
So he remained under the tree like he had all morning, waiting for the rain to stop.
Through all this frustration he did not even notice Dib, who was perched higher up in the tree.
All he was doing, was watching the skyline. Dib did this many times, but only in rainy days. The only reason he did this on rainy days though, was because he knew Zim would never plan anything on a day such as this one.
He wasn't aware of his presence. They both said silence, watching the rain fall.
Dib laid his head back from the tree trunk, closing his eyes. This was when Zim noticed Dib.
Zim simply looked up, and plaster his eyes on the being above him. At first he was angry, but then he realized he really needed his company. Zim hated being alone, especially when he was so vulnerable.
So Zim did not complain, instead he began to climb the tree to reach Dib.
Once on the branch, he sat there staring at Dib. He had fallen asleep, and lightly snored as dreamt.
Zim, who did not understand the concept of sleep, stared at him. It etertained him, to see Dib in such a vulnerable state.
While this was happening, Dib was dreaming of a possibility. The possibility of Zim one day being his best friend or more. Never knew why he dreamt this, but it was his own imagination that had done the trick.
In his dream him and Zim we're sitting together, on the steps to skool. They were talking but not about much, mainly about the weather which was ironic for the time being.
Suddenly the air was thick with tension, as Zim leaned forward, with every passing word. Dib did not notice until Zim, was right in front of him, faces almost touching.
Zim had a wicked smile about him, as he continued to lean. Suddenly their lips touched in a passionate kiss that seemed to last eternity.
Then Dib woke up.
Zim who had been sitting quietly for about an hour, was glad to see Dib's eyes finally open.
Dib jumped, he did not expect to see him there. He almost fell out of the tree but Zim cought him by the coat. Eyes wide he pulled Dib up, back onto the branch.
"Are you okay?" Zim exclaimed.
"Yeah, just wasn't expecting my enemy to be staring at me while I slept." Dib sighed.
"I apologize, now accept Zim's apology!" Zim demanded.
"Fine!" Dib rolled his eyes.
"Victory for Zim!" Zim yelled, as he threw up his arms.
Dib surprising a laugh, said, "Why are you here? Isn't it a little wet out here for you?"
"Yeah Zim forgot to look up the weather channel." Zim answered in a low growl.
Dib sighed, "Well I guess were stuck here until it stops raining. So why were you staring at me?"
"Zim was not!" Zim grunted.
"Okay, watching me intently." Dib tried.
" You just look so weird, and Zim was curious." Zim crossed his arms.
Dib's eye twitched, "Okay?"
Dib then leaned back and tried to remember his dream. Like a train, the memory came racing back. He gasped, not knowing why he would dream something like that. Strangely he liked what had happened. However he felt disgusted.
He looked at Zim, and blushed deeply. "What's wrong Dib-thing?" Asked Zim.
"Oh- Uh!" Dib tugged on his collar.
"Dib-thing!" Zim demanded.
"It's nothing!" Dib yelled.
Zim leaned in till they were almost touching, "Tell Zim!"
Dib's face was bright red, and before he knew it, he and Zim, were having a kiss that was much like the dream.
Dib pulled away, breathing heavily. Zim sat there, wide eyed. Zim brought his hand up to his lips, a purple blush on his face.
"I'm so sorry!" Dib yelled.
Zim looked at Dib for a moment, before mumbling , "Get even."
Then he threw himself on Dib, and planted a kiss on him.
Pinned down, Dib tried to fight back, but he failed. Instead he soon stopped trying to fight back, instead he melted into the kiss.

After awhile the rain stopped, and the boys began to walk home. Once at Dib's house Zim shyly asked, "Can I stay the night?"
"Why?" Asked Dib.
"I can't stand the idea of Zim being alone right now." Zim begged.
"Okay." Dib sighed.
Then they walked in.
