WARNING: This is my first ever ZADR fanfiction so I'm very sorry if it sucks or is out of character XD Enjoy! :)

"Why'd you have to wait…to find me…" Zim spoke weakly as he stared at Dib. "You're too late…" he hissed in pain.

"N-No! I-I can't be! I JUST CAN'T BE!" Dib looked to Zim with watery eyes.

"Why'd you have to wait? Where were you?..." Zim hugged him as he played with his raged hair. He coughed and gagged from the blood filling his lungs.

"I found you now, and everything's going to be ok, Zim. We're together now, and together, we're invincible, right?...Right?" Dib's gaze shifted to Gir.

He was lying in his master's arms, curled up and crying, covered in Zim's blood.

"Dib…before I go…I love you…" Zim planted his lips on Dib's and leaned in for a short kiss before everything faded out and turned into pitch black.

"AH!" Dib woke up like all the other past week nights. Dazed, confused, and sweaty. "Same dream…or should I say nightmare…" Dib sighed as he sat up in his bed.

"Why would Zim like ME…and why would I return the feelings?...Eh…dreams are stupid…they never seem to make sense anyways." Dib reassured as he talked to himself.

He switched his glare to the clock, 8:37.

He had over slept! With all this dreaming he had forgotten about school almost completely. He decided it was final, as much as it would kill him. He HAD to ignore Zim.

Sure, he loved to point out Zim's alien flaws and all that, but no one ever listened anyways.

So for once, he decided it would be best to just forget about Zim for the day.

…it would be the hardest thing he would ever do.
