Above the city the man hovered. The one everyone was looking for. He stood on his robot, flying about the buildings, looking for a place to hide out. He couldn’t land, for there were guards on the ground, and even in the air he had to be careful. He had seen a few Spittle Runners flying around.

He glanced from house to house, building to building, face to face trying to find somewhere good to settle, or someone weak to mooch off of. He had almost given up hope when he spotted two people he knew. He ordered his robot to fly lower until he landed on the roof of a building. He looked over the edge, the robot landing next to him. “Is that that boy? The smeet from the execution?”

The robot, ZiPT as the Irken had called it, let out a stream of beeps, clicks, and buzzes. The noises formed sentences that only his master could understand. Although they were mechanical Zim treated all his robots like they were real. The artificial intelligence provided their gender, and to Zim, ZiPT was male. The only robot of his group that was at all competent.

Zim nodded as he listened to his companion. “I do believe he might be useful.” He chewed his lower lip. He needed a place to stay, and it seemed the boy had special interest in him. That was good. Zim had protected him from the bullies, meaning the smeet would owe him. That was also good. And, if either of those failed, he could kill the boy and take his home as his hide out. Not as good, but it would work.

He nodded once more and ZiPT jumped off the building, he began to hover again. Zim climbed on his back and the robot followed the young scientists back to the residential area of Irk. They would stalk the child until he was alone, then they would strike. At night. The boy would be sure to be at his house and by that time they would know where that was. It was just a matter of waiting for the right moment.

Kibt was on the top of the world. He had seen Zim, he had been defended by Zim, and best of all, Zim had gotten away. He was somewhere on Irk bidding his time until it was safe again. Or else, he had escaped completely and was off the planet. Though Kibt didn’t want to think about that.

He looked to his younger friend, smiling despite himself. “Did you see him? Did you? He was right there! Oh Valle, he was so…so handsome! So wonderful! Much better than that stupid book.” He sighed, his breaths coming in pants do to the adrenaline that was pumping through his spootch. “I knew he wouldn’t die. I just knew it.”

As they approached the door to Kibt’s apartment, the blue eyed smeet stopped. “Kibt, I wish I could stay, but Mom’s going to find out that Zim escaped. He’s gonna want me home and won’t stop bitching if I stay.” He turned to go back down the stairs. “I’m really happy for you,” he said, “I’m glad you finally got to see Zim.” He tried to smile, but the pain in his spootch was too great.

He was truly happy that Kibt finally made progress in his insane dream. To have The Defect fight for him was something Kibt would never forget. And, if anything, it would make the other even more crazy about him. But because of that, the chances of Kibt getting over Zim shrunk. Valle feared he would never have a chance with his friend, and it hurt. “I’ll call you later, okay? Augen’s probably going to keep me up all night, so in the morning?”

Kibt nodded, waving as Valle descended the stairs. “Alright! Good luck tonight, make him wear a condom!” he couldn’t help but poke fun at the other’s incestuous tendencies. He laughed as Valle froze, a shiver visibly running through him. Kibt knew that Valle must be blushing like made, which made him laugh harder as he unlocked the door, entering his home with a content sigh.

Keri: To stomp on any questions that may arise:

1. Augen and Valle are two of a set of triplets owned by me, Gogglefox, and our friend Genaleah.

2. Yes I do love brotherly-love XD Ouran only made it worse.

Also, this chapter is kind’a short. I was gonna make it longer, but, meh. I hope you enjoy it.
