A new decade had begun and Valentine's Day was coming fast. All throughout Zootopia, couples were getting each other flowers, candies and spending time with their loved ones for this day of love. The same could be said for Nick and Judy, who had been waiting all year to celebrate their first Valentine's Day together. They still couldn't believe it had been almost a year since they admitted they loved each other and went on their first date to watch the Main Street Electrical Parade, which was now happily back home at Disneyland for an open-ended run that they enjoyed watching when it returned to the park the previous summer. Both of them absolutely loved spending that warm summer's day at Walt's original magic kingdom. Watching the parade, going on rides, watching the fireworks, they loved it all! They even got exclusive access to visit Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge just a few days before it opened to the public! The only down side was waiting on long lines and getting trampled by crowds always asking for their autographs and photos. Fortunately, Disney had prepared ahead and gave them cast member escorts to prevent the crowds from getting too crazy, which they were grateful for.

During that time since, their love for one another grew stronger every single day. Always coming home after a long day, continuing their usual after work dates when they decided, and curling up in bed, kissing and caressing each other until they fell asleep in each other's arms. However, just a few days before Valentines, a thought was racing through Judy's mind. Something that she wasn't sure she should talk about, even with Nick. As the two lovers entered their apartment for the night, Judy decided that she'd tell him tonight while doing their usual love routine. As they finished their kissing and she laid down onto his chest, she finally spoke.

"N-Nick? Can I ask you a question? It's kind of important that I ask you."

"You can ask me anything you want, sweetheart," the fox replied softly while petting her back.

She was still a little concerned about asking him, afraid that the answer she may get was what she didn't want.

"I've... been wanting to ask you this for a little while, but I wasn't sure if I should bring it up since it deals with a sensitive topic."

Nick slightly sat up as he brought her to his muzzle.

"I can hear the nervousness in your voice. Judy, sweetheart, you don't need to be nervous around me. I'll always listen to what you have to say. Do you understand?" Nick sympathetically assured his girl.

Judy looked down as he spoke and then looked back up to him and nodded her head in response.

"Now, what is it you want to ask me?" Nick whispered as he held her paws in his.

"Well... I was just wondering..."

She took a slight pause as she gathered the courage and finally asked:

"Are you and I... ever going to... do it?"

Nick was slightly confused as she wasn't being very specific.

"'It'? What's 'It'?"

"S-sex," she stuttered.

Nick's eyes shot open, his mouth fell slightly open and his ears stood up straight upon her finishing… the s word.

"Wha… what did you just say?" Nick said in a shocked state.

"Are you and I ever going to have sex?" she repeated.

Nick blinked multiple times, still in shock that she actually asked that question.

"Uh... uh... well uh..."

Judy felt Nick wasn't going to give her the answer she was looking for.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have even asked. I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable-"

"No! No no no no no no no no no no. It's- it's fine. I just... wasn't expecting you to ask that so suddenly," Nick finally managed to reply. "Judy, before I answer your question, I need to know... are you asking to have sex with me?"

Judy blinked and thought if she was. Was she? If she didn't want to then she wouldn't have even brought it up in the first place.

"I guess I am. Yes, Nick. I am... asking you... to have sex... with me," she replied in a shaky voice.

Nick took a deep breath as he processed her request. He then placed a paw upon her cheek.

"Judy... can I be honest with you?"

"Yeah?"

"I... was actually waiting for you to tell me. Judy, since you and I admitted our love for each other, I've dreamt of us doing it quite often. Both of us experiencing it for the first time, bringing our bodies together and becoming one. But the last thing I wanted to do was rush into it and force you against your will."

Judy was slightly surprised at Nick's confession, but could see where he was coming from.

"And... I was hesitant to ask because..."

"Because?"

"...because I'm a little scared." Nick spoke with a look of worry on his face.

"Scared? Scared of what, Nick?"

Nick took a second to respond.

"I'm scared that I might hurt you."

"Hurt me? Nick, what are you talking about?"

"Judy, look at us. I'm a fox. And you're a rabbit. A mammal who's hardly half my size. Even if we try to do it, I feel that something could go wrong and end up hurting one of us. And more than likely that one not being me."

Judy was thoroughly touched by Nick's precaution, but at the same time thought he was being a little too careful. While Nick was still talking, Judy leaned forward and kissed him, surprising Nick but causing him to return the kiss. As their lips separated Judy spoke to the anxious fox.

"Nick, you're being ridiculous. I can take whatever you have. I'm a tough bunny, remember? I think I can handle your... erm... 'package'".

Nick looked at the bunny, still a little worried.

"Are... are you sure? Judy, while I'm not saying no to your request, think about what you're asking for."

"I have. I have for a long time, Nick. And I know everything will be fine. I'm asking you to trust me when I say I can handle sex with you," she pleaded.

Nick placed a paw on her cheek again and brought her in for another kiss before speaking to his bunny.

"I do trust you. And I will. I will have sex with you, Judy. It would be an honor for me to be the one to show you what it's like."

"And it would be an honor for me to be the first girl to let you do it," Judy whispered while hugging his chest for comfort.

"But not tonight," the red fox continued. "How about we save it for Valentine's?"

Judy thought it over in her head. Could she really wait that long? If she could wait almost a year since they got together, she could wait a few more days.

"I'd like that, babe."

Judy and Nick couldn't believe it. In just a few short days, they were finally going to experience the sensation that is coitus. That they would finally experience what they had learned in school years and years ago. Both of them couldn't wait. This was going to be a Valentine's Day they'll never forget.
