"It would be in your best interest to stay away from him." Tak says airily, she takes a minute to examine her nails before looking back up.
Zim stares at her, feigning innocence.
The kids on the playground playing, laughing and screaming sound faint even if they are near by. Zim makes a face at Tak before kicking the dirt at his feet randomly, not at all interested in what Tak had to say.
"Don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about," Tak hisses, her hair sways a little in the wind and she can hear Zim scoff, she growls. "I've seen the way you look at him." She dragged out matter-of-factly.
"Who?" Zim asked, blinking at her, face expressionless - he wants Tak to go away and leave him alone.
Tak's grin is slow, her hand gestures towards something and Zim's eyes follow it's direction. He scans the playground absently, trying to find what Tak means, until he spots Dib. Who is (not surprisingly) alone, using a stick to trace circles in the dirt, Gaz couldn't be bothered to keep him company today.
Zim's eyes shoot back to Tak and narrow.
"And why should I do that?" Zim asks, obviously unfazed by Tak's threat, which irritates her - Zim is too arrogantly relaxed, he should be aware that she could crush him, very easily. She stays still under his gaze, the slightest smirk crossing her features.
"I decided I want him," She says, as if this made Dib hers automatically, Zim is disgusted by this - as if the Dib-thing was dumb enough to like Tak, laughable. "Sooo."
"He's mine, I saw him first." Zim says with a predatory grin.
This statement makes Tak want to rip apart Zim's insides.
Tak chooses to walk up to Zim now, standing directly in front of his face, trying to install some sort of fear - but Zim doesn't scare easy. Zim looks her squarely in the eye, waiting, breathing steadily, fluttering Tak's hair a few inches from her face. Tak grunts before turning away from him, walking towards the swing set and as soon as she does this Zim laughs.
"We'll see about that." She hisses under her breath, stomping the ground as she walks away childishly.
Dib sits on the ground, humming the tune to Mysterious Mysteries as he draws another UFO but this time with his finger, not at all aware that he somehow found himself caught in the middle of two aliens.
