Nothing Is Normal (invader Zim X reader)

24

Zim was flying around for a while, you two were in your old town now, to be honest it was kinda nice seeing all the familiar houses and stores. "So what did you tell your parents?" Zim asked, "easy, I told them that I wanted to have a sleepover with you, I said that your parents were home, and they said yes, so I got my stuff and left". Zim raised an eyebrow "neat" you laughed, finally after what seemed like hours, you two finally ended up in your old neighborhood. Zim landed the ship, and you both reluctantly got off. You looked up at your old house, it was a bit hard to see however, mainly because it had gotten darker since you two had arrived. You continued to look around, "so where did Tak make her decoy home?" Zim said suddenly, you rubbed your arms because of the cold, "I..umm it was somewhere down this way" you said through clattering teeth. You started to walk quickly through your street, Zim stayed close to your side, trying not to be spotted, "we have to be faster human", you nodded, "yeah..my friends might be close, and we can't risk you being caught". Zim paused "well yes, but I mean we should hurry because you're shaking like a disgusting earth leaf" you paused for a minute, but shook off his concern for a minute. After hours of walking, you two finally made it, you were hesitant, but to your shock, the house was gone, "what?!" You shrieked, running up to the large hole in the ground "it was right here! How the hell does a house just disappear?!" Zim walked up next to you, and inspected the dirt. "No, I believe you human, she probably left back to Irk (hopefully)" you agreed "yeah..maybe" Zim sighed "okay human, I think it's time to leave, we've been here a while, and you look exhausted, so let's head back to the voot". Zim pushed past you and started walking, you however stood there looking at the hole, 'there's no way she just fled like that.. that's not Tak at all..she's looking for me I know it!' You shook at your own thoughts, but luckily Zim broke through your daze "HUMAN! Let's go! Zim doesn't feel comfortable out in the open without his disguise!" "Oh yeah.. sorry! I'm coming!"

You two continued to walk towards the ship, Zim was a few feet ahead of you so all you could really do was stare at him as you were lost in thought, however your thoughts were lost when you bumped into Zim. Zim glared at you with anger "hey, watch it" "sorry! Why'd you stop?" Zim pointed across the street. You peeked around the building you two were hiding behind, in front of Zim's ship, was another human...But not just any human, this human was in fact one of your close friends! You smiled "holy crap! No way!" You started walking towards them, until Zim caught your arm "what on Irk are you doing?!" You looked back towards your friend, "don't worry Zim, she knows about your kind and stuff, you're safe". Zim sighed and reluctantly followed you, you tapped your friends shoulder, they turned around, their eyes widened in surprise, "hey-" you didn't get to finish. Your friend immediately wrapped their arms around you and shrieked in happiness "Holy crap! You're here! how?! Look at this voot that I found!" Zim spoke up "eh..Well your friend (y/n) is amazingly here because I brought her obviously..." Your friends shuddered "Ah! (Y/n)! You found another one?!" You nodded "well yeah! But don't worry, he's a lot cooler than Tak" Zim smiled in glory. Your friend rolled there eyes "anyway" you continued "it's great to see you and everything! But we're kinda in a huge hurry, have you seen Tak?" Your friend looked down, disappointed "no, she was really angry when you moved away, a few days go by and..her house just vanishes!" "Oh" Zim let out a sigh, "bummer...Oh well, come (y/n)! We must get home quickly! We can look for Tak at a better time!" Zim climbed into his voot and you followed. "Is that human a close friend of yours?" Zim asked suddenly, you nodded "yeah they are" Zim chuckled "I kinda wish I had friends like that in my military days".
