Summary: Dib decides to prove to Gaz that he isn't obsessed with the irkens, so he decides to abstain from them for Lent. Sexual tension ensues.
*note*-Dib is about 16 or so, so don't worry!
I sat in the living room flipping through the channels on the big screen television. Gaz was sitting in her chair and I was lounging on the couch. I stopped on some sort of music television channel for the brief entertainment news. A skinny girl with blonde hair and fifty piercing was standing amidst a crowd.
“Today is the first day of lent! All you Christians out there better give up something and soon! Easter is a coming!” Images of people crying in front of shrimp shops were shown on the screen and I scoffed at them.
“Like its that hard to give up something for 40 days!” I leaned further into the couch and looked at Gaz across the room. “I know you couldn’t give up that game for 40 days.”
Gaz lifted one eyebrow and glared at me. “That’s why I’m an atheist.” I turned away from her and continued flipping through channels. “I bet you couldn’t give up your aliens for lent.” I turned and looked at her and she smircked at me.
“I could give up following Zim! It would be no problem.” I crossed my arms and stared at her as she played her game.
“It would take a whole lot of willpower, and you are forgetting I said alienS. That means her too.”
Tak had built a base in the neighborhood recently. She still hadn’t forgiven Zim for defeating her and she was determined to destroy the Earth before he even got close. That is no big deal considering how moronic Zim is. It was more trouble for me; however, because Tak is actually good at what she does.
“Tak is no problem either.” I stood up and walked towards Gaz. “So what do I get if I ‘hold out’ .” I lifted my fingers in the air to represent parenthesis marks.
Gaz continued playing her game and gave a weak sigh. “Fifty bucks.”
“and?”
“AND I won’t hit your face for a week.” I held out my hand to her but she just grunted.
“Deal!” I turned and was about to walk out of the door but spun around. “I can’t totally give them up, they are both in my class!” I had to sit between them every day as they glared at each other and flung erasers at each other’s head. Sadly my head was hit most of the time.
“Fine, you can see them at school and talk to them casually. But no going over their houses or interacting with them out of school. And absolutely no touching them.”
“WHY WOULD I WANT TO TOUCH THEM?” I yelled, trying to act completely and utterly disgusted. But the truth is that I’m not disgusted by the idea at all, and I have to admit that they didn’t seem disgusted either. Tak would casually rub past me and glide her fingertips across the small of my back causing me to shiver slightly. We’d often exchange glances across the classroom or lunch hall and I could feel my face start to heat up when she smiled at me.
Zim was another matter entirely. While Tak would flirt with me casually, Zim would yell and fight with me. We would get so worked up and heated that I would become slightly aroused. He brought out the masochistic side in me and the clawing and hair pulling only made things worse, or better. Whenever our bodies were close together I would find myself grinding my pelvis against his leg. He didn’t seem to mind either and he often played back. But it never went farther than that, and no matter how hard I hoped he always walked away with a large smile across his face.
But I wasn’t about to let Gaz know my true motives for associating with the irkens. The last thing I needed was her taunting me about that. I had to keep this bet and put aside my interactions for a little while.
“OK, I’ll only see them at school. But if Zim hits me I can’t help but hit back.” Gaz nodded and I walked out of the door. After I closed the door behind me I heard her give out a chuckle. “I can do this! I know I can!” I yelled into the door. But I knew I couldn’t. I stood up straighter and started walking towards the school. If Gaz noticed I would tell her I was going to check out the zombie gerbils. I may be 16 but I’m still coming up with that same excuse that I used on Miss Bitters. I put my hands in my pockets and walked down the street when I felt something tickle the nape of my neck.
I spun around and pulled my hands out of my pockets to find myself facing Tak.
“Hello human.” She snarled. Tak was about 1 inch shorter than me. Zim however was as tall as me. No small feat for an Irken, but Earth’s gravity is weaker than Irk’s and the invaders had experienced growth spurts. Tak smiled up at me and poked me in the chest with her finger. Her hologram looked the same as before only her hair was longer.
“I can’t talk to you.” I managed to say and turned around. I quickly started to walk away. Follow me! I screamed in my mind, and she did. She strategically put her foot in front of mine and I tripped forward and fell on the sidewalk. I rolled over and Tak landed over me. She was straddling my hips and had a hand on either side of my head. I gulped very loudly and she smiled.
She put her face very close to mine and whispered, “What is it about this you find so… enticing?” Her tongue flicked out of her mouth and touched the edge of my ear. Even though the projection of her tongue looked human it felt totally different. The Irken tongue was something I had studied and I loved the feeling of it on my skin. I felt a shiver course through my body and radiate around my crotch. Her tongue slid out of her mouth again but this time she glided it across my neck and I gave out a small moan. I felt myself stiffen and Tak laughed.
She pushed herself off of me and stood up. “Bye Dib.” She smiled playfully and walked off in the direction of her base. I lay on the ground seemingly burning all over with temptation. These creatures were always teasing! I groaned and stood up when I finally cooled down and softened up.
“I didn’t touch her, the deal is still on..” I decided against going to the school, lest I bump into any more temptation. As I turned the handle to my house I looked at the setting sun.
Just thirty nine more days.
