Everything Has a Purpose, an Invader Zim x GN Reader

The Sleepover, ft. Gaz

The next few days go fairly similarly. You continue shooting down Zim's dumb, stupid plans for conquering Earth. You've begun to hang out with him a lot more often, mainly to inspect his stupidity. Today is a bit different though. You pack up your stuff as usual, following him out of the classroom. Before you can leave though, Dib pins you against the wall with one of his arms. He stares at you with a smirk.

He just stares. It's kinda weirding you out.

"Uhhhh—"

"Oh! Shit, sorry, I was thinking." He apologizes and tries to regain his cool attitude. He clears his throat.

"Ahem, so, (Y/N)—" someone bumps into him. His hand slips from the wall, but you catch him before he falls.

"Uh, thanks. Anyway," he tugs at the neck of his shirt, "how about that sleepover at my place? You haven't been hanging out with me lately."

You fail to hold back a snicker.

"Aw, is my little Dib jealous? Am I not giving him enough attention?" You gently cup his face in one of your hands. His eyes widen in surprise at the contact. He shys away, his face becoming a deep red. You laugh at his embarrassment and pinch his cheek.

"I'm not jealous! I just don't want Zim brainwashing you!" he insists, grabbing your shoulders. You drop your hand and laugh again.

"Smooth, Dib." You place a hand on his shoulder and pat it gently. "Yeah, I'll come over. I'll be a bit so you go on ahead, though."

He nods and heads off. You soon head to your own home. Once there, you drop your bag next to the sofa and yell to your computer.

"Computer!"

"Yes sir?"

"Look up 'sleepover' for me, please."

"Sleepover: noun; an occasion of spending the night away from home, or of having a guest or guests spend the night in one's home." It reads.

"Hm, interesting." You say to yourself. "What would I need for a sleepover?"

"Some pajamas and blankets should be good."

"Excellent. Thanks!"

You zoom off to gather the required items. You pack a pair of pajamas and a fluffy blanket, along with an outfit for school. Tomorrow is Tuesday, after all...

You hate to say it, but you almost enjoy school now; there's never a dull moment there. You actually have some friends to hang out with! You're going to Dib's house, even!

You suddenly decide to pack a game to play just in case. Once you're all ready, you step out of your door and head to Dib's house.

The walk isn't long, just about a block. You timidly step up to the front door and knock. Shuffling is heard inside. Soon enough, the door opens to reveal... Gaz!

"Hey, Gaz!" You chirp. You like Gaz. She's cool.

"Hey," she mutters, letting you inside. She closes the door behind you and goes back to the couch, then resumes playing a video game. Curious, you walk over to her and lean to see.

"Hey!" You exclaim happily after observing long enough, "I love 'The Binding of Bleep Bloop'! Can I watch?"

She looks up from the game, surprised. "You like games? Like, really?" You nod. She's suddenly ecstatic. She excitedly pats the seat next to her and you plop on the sofa. You watch her play for a while, then start taking turns as you each die. Dib emerges from the bathroom after a bit, his hair damp. He sneaks up on you two from behind.
