Love with an alien (Invader Zim ~Zim x reader~) (On Hold For Now)

Dance

Song: lovesong

The teacher announced that there would be a dance on Friday and it was Tuesday. I never liked dances to be honest

Mostly because I was never asked to go with someone which was pretty upsetting but i didn't mind because that just meant i got to stay home and not be tired later on from the dance

We weren't picking up (b/n) because he had a doctors appointment as me and Zim walked home since we didn't need to pick my brother up. Zim looked really nervous for some reason. I kept taking glances at him as he just fiddled with his claws looking like he was in deep thought as well

So instead I decided to speak up, breaking the awkwardness that we were in right now "Zim are you okay? Your mind seems to be in deep thought at the moment. What are you thinking about?"

"Huh? Oh. Zim was just thinking about this whole dance thing that is going on at skool. I was wondering what is it? And what is the point in this dance?" He asked genuinely confused

"Well, first off, dances are supposed to be fun and dance around to music. Dances are like parties in a way but in a slightly nicer way of saying it, and as for the point of it, well. I guess its just to have a good time and hang with a ton of people"

"Is (y/n) human going to this dance?"

"Honestly I've always wanted to go before but never had a reason to go because no friends or boy asked me to go with them. So I always just stayed home"

"What would (y/n) human do if a human asked you to the dance?" This genuinely made me confused why he would ask such a thing

"Depends on the person but why do you ask Zim?"

"O-oh, n-nothing. Just asking for research is all Zim needed it for"

"Okay, thats fine, Zim. You just seemed nervous is all"

"Zim does not mean to be what you call nervous"

"Thats alright, Zim. Its okay to be nervous. Everyone gets like that"

"Ok (y/n) human. Can Zim go to your house? I need to ask your mom something"

"Sure but what about?"

"Um about what moms behave like. It will help me work on my robot parent units" Zim lied but (y/n) couldn't tell since she was facing forward

"You mean your robot mom and dad?"

"Yes, thats exactly what Zim means"

"I don't think she'd care since she doesn't mind having you over now that shes gotten to know you more"

"That really helps Zim out"

We got to my house so me and Zim walk over to my mom who was playing a card game with (b/n) since his appointment ended a little before school ended

"Hi hon, Hey Zim. How was school?"

"It was okay. We have a dance on Friday this week which sounds so much fun, ill be in my room. Zim come on up whenever you want" I headed upstairs to put my stuff away and my pjs on for bed before hand

~Zims pov~

(y/n)'s mom looks at me smiling which makes me more nervous. Why am I so nervous?! I'm the almighty Zim! Yet this girl is getting me all flustered out of nowhere without even knowing it. I notice her mom patted the spot next to her

I do what she wants me to do and look at her confused

"So? Are you planning on taking my daughter to the dance on Friday?"

"If you do you better treat my sister right" her brother gave me a look saying hed hurt me if I hurt (y/n), which I honestly don't think I have the guts to do

"H-how would I even ask her? She doesn't seem like the person to like these things"

"It's true that she isn't a fan of fancy stuff, but she has always wanted to go to a dance with someone, but she hasn't been asked before. So just ask her tomorrow after school on the way home. Ill be off early so I can pick up (b/n) to leave you two alone" (known fact, I haven't been asked by a guy to go to dance or my prom which was last Saturday. I just went with friends. Yes it may be fun but its different when your with a guy just you guys)

Hearing this come from her mom, it made me nervous, very nervous. I nodded knowing what to say to her

~time skip~

As we were walking home I decided now was the time to ask her, so I did. Tapping her shoulder to get her attention as she looked at me wondering what I needed

"U-uh, I was wondering I-if (y/n) human will go to the dance w-with me?" She just looked at me then suddenly smiled

"Sure ill go with you, Zim. Sounds like fun"

Me and her were smiling the rest of the way home as i got into my house I went back out to get a suit. Apparently what they wear at dances. Without looking up from the thought of going with (y/n), I ran right into the wall causing me to fall. Mumbling curses in Irk language getting back up to what I was originally doing (phoenixchan7517 gave me the idea in the comments. So hope you don't mind i used it phoenix)

~sorry another time skip~

~(y/n)'s pov~

While waiting for Zim my mom took a photo of me before I had to leave. I heard a knock and invited him in. He was wearing a suit instead if his usual clothes, but he still had his gloves and boots on, which I didn't mind honestly, he looks nice with gloves and his boots

Zim kept staring at me with wide eyes and not moving, so I waved my hand in his face which made him come back to reality

Mom took a picture of us both as we got to the skool, going inside and see lots of lights and loud music making me wince every once and awhile from how loud it is

Going to a table to sit down and chat Zim looked happy to be here with me, it surprised me, but it also made me happy as well

Thats when a slow song came on, it was a song from my favorite singer Adele. Grabbing his hand i brought him with me and the other kids as I put one hand on my side and the other in my right hand, while my left hand was on his right shoulder. We swayed to the song enjoying each others company. Getting a bit tired I lean my head on his shoulder yawning quietly

The sing ended making us break apart as we then went to go sit down and listen to music as we just have fun in our own way

A ton of songs later the dance ended so we went home with smiles on our faces. When we reached my house I gave him a big hug, a thank you, and a kiss on the cheek. Now heading back inside to go to bed, just to leave a blushing Zim to go back home and find out why he has been acting the way he has been acting

"I know why I'm acting this way....I fell in love with (y/n)" Zims face went even more blue after saying it out loud
