Aberrant Worlds (Invader Zim x Reader)

Winged Cupid is Blind, and Now So is Purple

"Y/n! You did it." Zim screeched excitedly as he ran into the large room to greet you with a hug.

Purple and Red grunted in annoyance. The former asked the questions on both of their minds. "I thought you gave up. You actually had a plan to work? You tricked us?"

The now tall Irken balled his fists in victory. "Yes, the amazing Zim knew his plan would work... because he had help." He said the last part only because he noticed the glares you and Dib gave him.

"What's the plan now, Zim?" Dib asked. 

The alien in question hummed in thought. Grabbing your hand, he pulled you close. "There are two options. The first would be to compare heights. If I am taller, even slightly, I automatically take over the Irken Empire. If Zim is shorter than these two morons, Zim shall cast them out."

Your boyfriend stood in front of the former leaders. Neither one tried to stand up on their own. You, being the nice girl/boyfriend/significant other that you are, used your powers to help them stand anyway. There was a very slight difference, but Zim was, in fact, the true tallest. He obviously wouldn't miss this chance to gloat.

"Yes! Another victory for Zim." He pointed to the nearest pilot. "You there, activate the lasers for a dramatic moment of glory!"

Zim laughed happily and pulled you into his side. Dib stood by awkwardly, happy to know that Earth was officially safe from aliens after all these years. And, naturally, the best part of it all was watching the lasers fly across the room. Purple screeched as one of the lasers hit him in the eye. History repeats itself. The same thing happened when they chose to banish Zim to Earth.

Red chuckled at his best friend's expense. Even in the worst circumstances, the two found a way to be goofy. Did they not take anything seriously? You had literally embarrassed them in front of the entire Irken armada and they had the audacity to laugh.

"Zim," you began, "what are you going to do now? They can't exactly stay here." 

Zim pondered on this. A ship exploded right outside of the ship. You knew you were forgetting something. Gaz was still taking down the fleet! Dib seemed to have the same realization and ordered his sister to end her rain of terror.

"There is only one punishment befitting Red and Purple. Something so sinister and insufferable that every day makes you wish for death." He paused for dramatic silence.

"I banish you to fast food service! To Food Courtia!" 

Purple, still holding his throbbing eye, shrieked in disagreement and horror. "No! Anything but that! Send us to Moo Ping 10 instead. I'd rather be locked up forever than deal with hangry customers!"

Zim flicked his hand and two pairs of drones removed the former leaders from the room. The shorter Irkens still cowered in the corner. Your boyfriend messed around with a few buttons on the control panel before the window-like fixture turned into a broadcast of the cafeteria where many of the Irkens were.

"My fellow Irkens, today starts the beginning of a new era for the planet Irk!" You had a feeling Zim had been planning this speech for a while. "No longer shall we thrive on hatred and dictator like decisions. We will glorify our home by making alliances instead of conquering lands and risking thousands of lives. We will decrease the amount of enemies we have. Most importantly, we will all be allowed to eat snacks!"

The crowd roared at his last statement. This gave you the impression that only the Tallests were allowed the best of the snacks most of the time. That sucks. You couldn't live without (favorite snack).

"The first alliance we will look to make will be with the planet Earth. My human significant other will be by my side to help unite our people. The large headed human behind me will serve as an ambassador for his home. Your rights will be given back to you. Love is now legal again! Smeets may now be made naturally if wished. Emotions will be restored!"

You held his hand tightly, squeezing it to let him know his speech was becoming long winded. Smiling at you, he pulled you closer (if that were possible) and wrapped an arm around you. "I have plans to design a new system. One that will put low and high ranked Irkens in a place of power, lower than mine of course, to give the entire race representation. The people will have a say! Nachos for everyone!"

To close out his speech, Zim decided to do something he had only done once before. He turned your face towards his and crashed his lips onto yours. This time he had more confidence with the kiss. You cupped his face in your hands and melted into the form of affection. The congregation went wild with excitement.

When you pulled apart, you rested your head on his chest. "Let's go home, Zim."

Short chapter to wrap things up! Only chapter left is the epilogue :)

Sorry for the delay in updates. There has been a lot of deaths in my family and I needed time to process it all.
