Zim against the world

Zim woke to a loud buzzing sound and nearly jumped out of his skin. As he jumped, strong arms wrapped around him, bringing him into a crushing embrace.

"What did you do that for?" He looked up to see Dib glaring down at him, confused at why he had jumped. For a second Zim stared at Dib in a state of shock, not remembering anything that had happened the day before. Then it came flooding back to him and he lowered his eyes, his antenna drooping in depression. He pushed softly away from Dib, staying close enough so that Dib knew he couldn't escape but far enough so he wasn't against Dib's warm form. He didn't want the unknown comfort it was giving him.

"I didn't know what it was." He said shortly. "I was momentarily confused." He tried to keep his face expressionless but it was hard as he felt something brush over his antenna. He jerked his head up to see Dibrunning his fingers over it. Instinctivly he closed his eyes, hating the fact that it felt so good.

"Seems like you enjoy that space-boy." Dib murmered softly. Zim nodded slowly.

"Irken's antenna are very.... sensitive. When they are touched-" He let out a small gasp as he felt Dib put the end in his mouth. He tried hard to continue without practically moaning with the tingles of pleasure that were racing through him. "When they are touched... it sends a message right to the nearves. They are usually used to feel things in the dark... but until now I didn't know that when touched like this.." He clamped his mouth shut. He had already said too much in his haste to keep the sensation going.

"When they are touched like this what?" Dib asked coyly, talking around the frail antenna which send shivers up and down the small alien's back. "How do they feel? Good?"

"Y-Yes." Zim said softly, biting his lip to keep from whimpering. He nearly cried out when Dib released him and sat up.

"Come on." He said, commandingly, looking him over. "You seem to be all healed." He grabbed Zim's wrist and dragged him over to his desk, opening a drawer with his free hand and rumaging around for a while before finding what he was looking for and pulling out a pair of handcuffs. Zim nearly laughed out loud. They were the same type of handcuffs that Dib had tried to put on him the first time they had met. He looked at them with an amused expression on his face as Dib bound his hands together.

The expression slowly faded however when he felt himself untense. He blinked as all his muscles relaxed. As hard as he tried to tense them... he found he couldn't and looked up at Dib who was looking at him curiously. "Well?" Dib asked. "Do they work?"

Zim didn't answer, not wanting to give him the satisfaction but when he felt nible fingers run over his soft antenna he sagged and nodded, his eyes slitting at the soft touch.

Dib grinned at his expression and carefully pulled Zim closer. "Good." He purred out softly, his breath tickling Zim's antenna, making Zim shiver in Dib's arms. "Very good."

Zim knew better than to relax. But with Dib speaking in such a voice with his hands tracing pattens over his sensitive antennas, he couldn't help it. Finally he managed to back away from Dib's comforting embrace. "What are you waiting for?" He asked shortly, his antenna still tingling where they had been touched. "Aren't you going to turn me in? Get me into a medical lab where they can run tests on me-" He was cut off as Dib put his hand over Zim's mouth.

"Not yet." He said softly. "I've been thinking about it and why should I give you to the authorities just yet? I've always wanted to know more about you... what makes you tick. What you think about. What your weaknesses are. Before I let them to you... I want to know more." He grabbed the middle of Zim's handcuffs and tugged, leading Zim out of his room.

Zim shook his head in wonder. 'It's all science to this boy.' He said to himself softly. 'He practically lives off it.' His thoughts were brought to a halt as Dib yanked Zim down the hall, breaking into a sprint, past Gazes room, past his dad's office, and down the stairs. At first Zim's instincts blazed. Were they going outside? Where was Dib taking him? He was lead into the hall and then to a door. Dib opened the door and Zim saw stairs leading into the basement. He swallowed. The one place he never wanted to be. In the basement...... was Dib's lab.
