Nothing Is Normal (invader Zim X reader)

The pak legs nearly caught you, they gave you a pretty bad scratch..but nothing more. You hit the ground roughly, and quickly looked up, Zim looked at you with anger but..he was blushing..a lot as a matter of fact! You sat there, your face pale, you were hyperventilating from shock. It was very quiet, Zim stared at you with a blank face, while his hand rested on his antenna, "human.." You didn't say anything, instead you started nervously laughing from shock. Zim, however, stayed very serious, "human! What was the first thing I told you!?" You continued to giggle "sorry, sorry! Hehe I'm so sorry! Hehe I was curious!" Zim sighed.. "is...Are you okay?" You nodded, Zim stepped towards you and put his hand out, his face still flushed. You hesitantly grabbed his hand, he pulled you up, but he avoided eye contact. "Why did you panic?" You finally asked, Zim paused.. "it's too private to discuss.." "please? I swear I won't tell Dib" Zim gazed at you "if..if I tell you..Will you tell Zim why he cannot touch your chest?.." You blushed but agreed "okay" Zim started, he sat on the floor, so did you, "It's forbidden on my planet..". You tilted your head in confusion "forbidden?..Why?" Zim hesitated.."It..It gives me..pleasure...pleasure that Irkens are forbidden to ever feel!!" You blushed.. "oh..yeah same reason for me, to be honest" it got silent, this was extremely awkward, what were you supposed to say? Or do? Zim spoke up, his face still darkened by blushing "ahem, anyway.." he continued "let's get this over with.." "get what over with?" Zim motioned towards the monitor, "oh..".
After what seemed like hours, you two were finally done with the scanning, however it did take a while for both of you two, to label all the organs, but once you two were done you printed it out and switched, Zim gave you his scans and you gave him yours to study it. But it was pretty awkward afterwards, you looked at your phone, the time read 8:04, since you and Zim have known each other for a while now, your mother had let you go to his house more often, but you had to be home at exactly 9:02, but because the awkwardness was too much, you decided to leave early, and Zim agreed with no questions asked.

Zim wasn't at the gate at skool the next day, which wasn't so bad because it ment you could finally talk to Dib (you and Dib always hung out when Zim wasn't at skool) "hey Dib!" You greeted, "oh hey (y/n)! Zim's not coming today?" "Probably not" Dib beamed "yes! That means we can sit together at lunch!" You gave him a fake giggle "heh.. yeah, but listen..at lunch I have to tell you something about Zim" Dib's face immediately got serious, this whole time you've been "acquaintances", you've actually been snitching behind Zim's back; in other words you've been secretly telling Dib everything you learn about Zim and his planet..but..deep down you didn't want Zim to be exposed..not because you wanted to destroy or rule the world..but because he was just really...interesting?..cute would be a better word but you refused to ever think that! It was just wrong. But anyway you told Dib you would tell him things ONLY if he kept it between the both of you, so Dib never said anything, despite the awkwardness between you and Zim, you couldn't help but be extremely curious about him still..then you realized something..You had Zim's body scans in your notebook...
