Falling in Love with a Irken (Invader Zim X Reader)

I'm Back

Zim had many fantasizes about you and him growing old together, starting a family, just like the people he intended to conquer. Deep down Zim was jealous of the companionship humans had and craved it himself. Starting a real family is something Irkens haven't done in Shmillions of years. Zim however, deep down in his squiddlyspooch wanted to have a human experience with you.

But, when he found out you would be seeing another Irken...Especially someone so much better then him, he started spiralling and convinced himself that Larb would steal the only person that ever has truly cared for Zim, you.

You look at the sight in front of you, Zim was crumbling right in front of you. His Ruby eyes held such pain and sadness, he almost looked like he was going to cry. His antennae was shaking slightly in fear of reality.

You move your hand to his chin, you raise his face up and force him to stare at you. You needed him to hear what you had to say.

"The whole time I was on the Massive I couldn't stop thinking about him, I would always think about the fun times we had together. He is the most smart, funny, innovative and handsome Irken I have ever met. Annnnndd now that I have met a whole bunch of Irkens I can now say with no doubt in my mind that he is the one I want as my Partner. He is gorgeous inside and out...Plus he is Irk's Finest Invader!" You smile and wink at him. You were hoping he would get the hint but he seemed to be not catching on. He looked so defeated, like everything he ever wanted was taken away from him.You close your eyes for a moment. Opening them back up exposing a fire within them.

"Invader Zim. I want you to be my life-mate." You say with pure confidence. Zim's eyes widened at what you said. Did he really hear correctly?

"...Zim...Life...?Mate? Zim is your mate...?" Zim's voice cracks slightly. His antennae is shaking even more and it looks like Zim's brain is having a melt down.

"Yes, well technically we need to actually mate first....But yes." You trail off.

"So you are saying You are not Larb's mate?"

"Larb? No! Zim is the one I want!" You try to encourage him.

A long pause followed. Zim was deep in thought and took a few steps back. He was looking at the ground and took a seat on his couch. You followed suit and sat next to him but had your back against the arm rest.

"What about the Tallest? Do they know who you picked?"

"Yes, I told my father a while ago. He wasn't too thrilled as he would much prefer Larb...But he understands that you can't pick the people you love." You casually say. He must have finally realized what was going on or something because he turns to you and jumps to you. He snakes his arms around you in a strong grip, his body is on top of you and your legs are intertwined with each other. Zim starts pecking your cheek and mouth.

"Y/N is Zim's Mate! Zim has won!" He pulls away and jumps to attention.

Well his confidence is back, that's good to see. He held his fists high and had a huge grin on his face.

"I hope you know...you never needed to have any doubts. I've wanted to see you again every single day I was in the Massive. Never once did you leave my mind." You smile at him. Zim looks over to you and his grin faults slightly. After about a moment or so, Zim slowly climbed back over to you and cuddled your body once again. He wrapped his arms around your torso and laid his head on your chest. His eyes closed and peaceful from the sounds of your beating heart. You couldn't help but melt at the sight in front of you. He always finds a way to be so cute, not to mention he is always cuter when he doesn't realize it.

"Y/N" You snap out from your thoughts. You look down to him and carefully put your hand back on his head.

"Yes Zim?"
