The small clock ticked softly on the dirty classroom wall. Ms. Bitters was at it again. She was rambling on about some stupid earth non-sense that Zim didn't understand, nor did he ever want to understand. It was irrelevant to his mission, so why should he care?

He let out a long sigh and fiddled with the dull pencil on his desk. The green-skinned boy glanced over at the child sitting beside him. 

They were doodling on a piece of paper, humming to themselves, not knowing of the slightly disgusted stare Zim was giving them.

'This is what humans do when they are bored?' Thought the male. 'Pathetic. When I was only a little smeet, I used to play with razor blades for entertainment!'

He looked back over at the naive child.

'It does look sort of fun though...' Thought Zim.

He stared down at his own paper, blank and ready to be used.

'Maybe this form of earth entertainment could be of use to the mission,' Zim hypothesized 

He picked the small pencil up with his gloved hand and started to draw random stick figures.

This was actually quite fun for the irken boy.

He continued to drag the pencil across the page, completely unaware of his surroundings.

Giggles erupted from the classroom. Zim looked around.

The one they called Dib had a slightly disgusted look on his face. Everyone was staring at him, and laughing.

"What are you useless worm babies , laughing at?!" He shouted. His outburst only made them laugh harder.

Zim growled and looked back to his piece of paper, only to realize that he had subconsciously been drawing him and Dib holding hands. He felt his cheeks get hot. The flustered male quickly crumpled up the paper and shoved it in his mouth.

He started thinking about what he did.

'There is no possible way I could show that kind of affection to that big-headed ball of pus!' He thought

Once the class had settled down, he glanced over at Dib. 

He found himself staring for a couple minutes before the class bell rang. Zim sighed and stood up to get out of the classroom.

Dib stood up as well. The  pointy haired boy strode up to the shorter green male. He had a giant smirk on his face.

'Nice to know that an ALIEN has a crush on me~" he teased.

Zim scowled. "I only want to crush you with my fist stink brain!"

Dib chuckled. "Maybe I would consider dating you if you let me explore your base~" he said. He laughed loudly, completely ignoring the faint blush on Zim's cheeks.

The two boys were sent out of the classroom by Ms. Bitters. Dib laughed all the way home.
