Swollen Years

>_> I was suppose to start this chapter again several days ago, but was unable to because I blacked out and was in the hospital. So that was in the way, so I'm bored, being in the house, and decided to start this.
I understand the story is going slowely, bt I plan on the next few chapters speeding the story. (Quicker to ZADR yummy-ness fo those who crave it. xD)

~*Chapter 8*~

This pissed Dib off. A lot.

He was suppose to have the perfect day off. Relaxing, eating stick-to-your-ass-good foods, and watching TV. That didn't happen at all. Instead, he got distracted thinking about his past and what's going on around him now. And to put it all off, he gets called back to work.

"I hate my life." The adult whispered to himself as he pulled into the lab's parking lot.. He didn't mean it. His life was good.. sometimes.

As he climbed out of his car, he just stood there. Staring at the enormous building in front of him. Why must his father's lab be so..big? Was it necessary? He then decided he didn't give a shit. It didn't bother him, so why bother even wondering?

As Dib began to walk down the Lab's hall, his eyes traveled. Could Tak have escaped? He wouldn't be surprised. She was quite smart, and seemed the kind to get out of anything. His eyes looked left to right as he walked, looking for violet, big eyes, and light green skin. "Tak..? Can you hear me? It's me, Dib."

He didn't know what to do. Did he have to get into a group of panicing scientists and go with them? He would rather just walk anywhere, calling out like he's calling out to his lost dog. At least he didn't have screaming in his ears.

"Looking for someone?" The voice was behind Dib. The male turned around and saw a red headed, petite boy behind him, with a curious, yet.. evil tint to his emotion in his eyes and face. "You're looking for Tak, right?"

Dib narrowed his eyes a little at the smaller. "Yeah.. Nathan, is it?"

Nathan smiled. "Yeah. Again, looking for Tak? Don't worry. I took her for a little walk and treated her with some snacks. She's in her cell at the moment."

Dib only stared at him. He didn't know what to say to him.

Nathan noticed. "I know what you're thinking. But before you say it, let me just say that there's nothing wrong with it." Nathan rolled his green eyes into the back of his head, and formed a thinking, and somewhat curious look on his face. "I mean, ya, taking her out of her test tube could be the worst I've done with this. But I don't care. If I get yelled at, I won't care. I don't take shit from anyone."

Now Dib didn't have anything to say at all. He stared at the boy for several seconds, and finally thought of something to say. "Did you take her out to teach her how to get out of these labs, or were you just being a bored boy and decided to take an Irken for a dog-walk?"

"The latter."

"I see."

"I hope so. I don't want you to become an annoying as hell scientist freaking out over something so stupid." The biy turned his back to Dib and began to walk away. "Anyway, I bid you A'do" With that, he waved his hand, and went off.

Don't just stand there, do, or say something for fucks sake!

"Nathan, are you new here? I don't recall I met you here before. No one even informed me there was a new scientist working here."

The boy stopped at his tracks. "I guess you can say that. And why would someone tell you? No one CARES if someone is new. Ever thought about that?" His tone of voice was defensive, almost angry.

What's with the sudden mood change? Dib's eyes showed confusion. "Alright. I get what you're saying.."

"Good." He snapped. He began to walk away again, now about 20 feet away from Dib. His hands were into fists- white skin over the knuckles. What did Dib say that pissed him off so much?

The sudden mood change somewhat excited Dib. He hasn't met anyone that defensive.. that snappy, since-

"Why are you following me?!" Nathan spat out. Dib was by his side now...Dib was following the boy. "Are you some sort of stalker? I have to go do some duti-"

"Shut up. If you have a problem with me following you, then you have issues."

Nathan huffed, and began to walk again. Shoulders up high, hands balled into fists, head tilted down an angle.

Dib smiled. He liked this side of Nathan. So fiesty.. "So, mind if I ask you some questions?"

"Yes! I'm not in the mood."

"Great! I'll start with.. Where do you live?"

Nathan's teeth clenched. "If answering your questions will make you go away, then fine! I live.. uh.."

"Ha! Don't know where you live?! That's sad!"

"SHUT UP! I know where I live!- I live a few blocks down from here, in the forest. Ok?"

"In the forest?... Interesting..How about.. How old are you?"

"Nineteen." He answered the question quickly. It was very quick. Dib looked at the boy, and noticed that he refused to even look at him. It somewhat.. made Dib smile. He didn't understand why, but the way the boy was acting just entertained him.

"Little fiesty, aren't we? It's ok." Dib said with an evil smile on his face.

"Why don't I ask YOU a question?!! How the tall are you?! Are you some gay pedophile? Ever had pussy?!" Nathan spat, finally looking at Dib with a pissed off expression.

Dib began to laugh. He was having a VERY good time with Nathan. Once his laughter began to fade, he said. "Oooh I'm having a GREAT time with you! I'll be glad to answer! I'm 6 foot 3, I think. Sorry to dissapoint you little boy, but I won't rape you. I'm no pedophile. And yes, I HAVE had pussy before. Plenty of time. Quite boring after awhile if you ask me!" Dib looked at the boy's face. His eyes... they were red!

Nathan didn't respond. He only looked up at the taller with an angry expression. Dib grabbed the boys face, and pulled his ear close to his mouth. "Did you know... I have a fetish for red eyes?" He whispered gently in the boy's ear. Nathan gasped, and began to wiggle out of Dib's grasp.

"AARGH WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU? LET ME GO!" The boy screamed. He began to squirm even more, with additional force, but Dib didn't let him go.

So he just stayed still. He completely stopped moving, seeing getting away was impossible at the moment. "Please.." He begged. "Let me go.."

Dib's hand slowely pushed the boy's head back, allowing him to look at his eyes. They were green again. "Sorry. Guess I got a little hyper there" He let his hands travel off the boy's head, and return to his sides. Nathan only stared into his face. His eyes were wide with surprise, and was breathing deeply. Dib turned away from him, and began to walk away. "Forget I did that. I shouldn't let my desires to hurt you."

Nathan only stared at Dib's back for several seconds with alarmed eyes. "No, I'm sorry. I guess I got a little bitchy there. You didn't do anything." His eyes grew sweet, and beautiful emerald again. "I-Is it ok if we talk later? I mean.. I have to go help someone.."

Dib looked back at the male behind him, he looked desperate. Like he was some hungry puppy, looking at a delicous dog dinner. "Sure Nathan. That sounds wonderful."

"Ok.. Thanks. Where are you going now?"

"I'm going to see Tak. She IS in her cell right now, right?"

"Yeah, she's there.."

"Good. Be sure to tell everyone you see that Tak's where she should be, ok?"

"No problem."

Those were the last words before they both walked their own paths away from eachother.
