An Unlikely Love
Author Notes
This is the first fic I've ever tried to write and I just love Zootopia and its story and the characters especially Judy and Nick I'm not sure if I there's gonna be any but I'm saying it anyway there may be small spoiler alerts if you haven't seen the movie so without further stalling here is my first attempt at a Zootopia fan fic.
Chapter 1
It had been three years since Nick P. Wilde and looked past his prejudice of prey and helped officer Judy Hopps uncover Mayor Dawn Bellwether's attempt to use the power of fear by using the Night Howlers to make the predators of Zootopia go savage.
Since then he had made it though the Zootopia Police Academy not only made it through but as the valedictorian of his class, and he's been working with the very bunny that he was a jerk to the first time they meet.
But as of lately he's been feeling a different feeling about his partner and best friend. Every day they go out to patrol or just hang out in general he can't help but see her in a different light than he used to.
The more he looks at her the more beautiful she looks which makes him feel lost since they were both of different species not to mention that he was a predator and she was prey.
But either way he can't help but feel these feelings for her. Every time he looks at her he can't help but think how beautiful and cute she is not that he would ever actually say that to her.
He wanted to tell her but he didn't know what she would say to this, plus if she didn't feel the same way which he was sure she didn't he didn't want to ruin or put any awkward strain on their friendship let alone their partnership.
So for now he just planned to keep it a secret and do everything he could to just to stay by her side whether it was as her friend or her partner.
He was sitting in the office that he shared with the bunny filling out a mountain of paperwork that was left to him by his favorite buffalo Chief Bogo. He was stuck here doing all this paperwork that chief buffalo butt stuck him but he didn't hate it as much as normal since just on the other side of the office was the very same bunny that changed his life for the better.
He leaned back looking at the clock seeing that they only had about an hour left of their shift for the day. He felt his phone vibrating in his pocket so he grabbed it to see who was texting him, it was Finnick .
It wasn't rare for Finnick to text him they still talked quite often after he quit being a con-artist he's even helped his friend out of some small issues though if his bunny partner found out about that she would not be too happy about unlocked his phone to see what Fennec wanted.
Yo bro what's good Victoria was asking if yall were still gonna meet up tonight.
Crap he thought he had complete forgotten that Finnick had tried to set him up with a vixen that he had meet during some hustles. Finnick had said that she was a good female and pretty attractive. He quickly text his friend back.
Oh yeah I almost forgot yeah I'm still gonna pick her up ill message her now.
He sent the message then looked over his shoulder seeing the bunny still filling out reports, she always yelled at him when he got on his phone while on duty. He then quickly opening his contacts on his phone scrolling down till he saw Victoria number.
Hey Victoria it's Nick sorry I didn't text you sooner about our plans tonight.
He put his phone down and started writing another report he got halfway thought the report when his phone vibrated again.
It's alright Nick I understand you cops have full days, id understand if you needed to reschedule.
He felt bad that she thinks he was busy that's why he forgot he had forgotten cause he didn't really care all that much he only took the date cause Finnick had introduced them and he thought it might help him not think about Judy as much as he already did.
He quickly responded, No we can still meet tonight ill be at your house to pick you up at seven if that works for you that is.
He went back to his report knowing that she would text him back rather quickly but he knew he still had to get some work in the last hour of work. His phone went off, Thanks Nick that works out just fine with me I'll see you then :).
"Get off your phone you dumb fox" the voice of his bunny partner startled him. He turned to see her glaring at him looking at his phone.
"Oh come on Fluff I was only on it for a little bit" he flashed her his signature smirk.
"It doesn't matter you should be doing your work when you're on duty not you're on your phone"she turned back to her own computer and continued to fill out her reports.
"Don't be like that carrots sometimes I gotta break the good boy scouts rule number one ".
He went back to filling out his own reports, "So what are you up to after work" he looked back to see his bunny partner looking at him waiting for his answer.
"I actually have a date with a vixen that Finnick is trying to hook me up with her names Victoria", he looked but at the bunny to see her reaction but she turned back to her computer as soon as her turned her ears seemed to droop which was rare for the normally energetic bunny.
"Well that's great for you have fun", she said sounding a little irritated as she continued to fill out her reports. Nick felt a devilish smirk start to spread across his muzzle, "Awww is my cutesy little bunny partner jealous that some vixen is getting to have a hot date with a stud like yours truly ".
She spun around glaring at him as she throw a pen a him;" You know I hate it when you call me cute you jerk" she just went back to filling out reports completely ignoring him.
He couldn't help but start chuckling at how she reacted to it every time he called her cute, but he couldn't help but think he saw her blushing but didn't want to push it because he thought that he just made it up.
The last hour of the day just flew by he had finished the last of the reports he had for the day. He stood up and walked over to his partner.
"So what do you have planned for the rest of the day carrots".
She simply just stood up and walked out of the office not even turning back to look at him or say anything.
He quickly grabbed his bag and left their office in hopes to catch up to her, he saw her at the reception desk saying her goodbyes to the flabby yet lovable cheetah receptionist Benjamin Clawhauser.
He got closer and called out to them," Hey Clawhauser, hey carrots".
The rabbit officer simply looked up at the cheetah saying goodbye and that she would see him tomorrow and walked off still not even looking at him.
"Oh hey Nick how's it going ", the cheetah greeting the fox officer happily "Hey Clawhauser was it me or did Judy seem upset about something", the cheetah looked at the fox then to the door the bunny had just walked out of.
"Now that you say something she didn't seem really mad and hurt about something but I can't put my claw on what it might be ".
Nick looked at the receptionist then as he did to the door his partner just walked out off, "Well I'll try to find out tomorrow but hey Clawhauser I gotta go I got plans tonight", the cheetah perked up after hearing this, the cheetah being known to be a huge gossip.
" O.M Goodness what kind of plans mister sly fox", Nick could only laugh at how exited his friend had gotten after hearing this news.
"Oh just a little date with a vixen a friend is trying to set me up with so I gotta got so I can get ready", he said his goodbyes to the excited cheetah as he left the police building making his way to his car without reliving that he past Judy's still parked cruiser with the rabbit officer still in it.
Judy sat in her cruiser her deep purple eyes glossy as tears fell she couldn't help but cry a little bit after hearing Nick telling her about his date with some vixen, when they first meet she really hated him he was being a dreaming crushing jerk to her when she first got to Zootopia and first started working for the ZPD.
But she started to warm up to him when he stuck up to Chief Bogo for her then helped her solve the night howler case even after she had been a terrible friend ,by staying the predators were just reverting to their primitive savage ways that it was a just in their DNA.
But he still helped her then even became her partner at the ZPD and over that past three she couldn't help but develop feelings for him. Even though he was a fox she looked at him and just saw one of the most handsome male she had ever meet, he was funny and snarky, he could be a real pain sometimes but that was just another thing she liked about him. She that it might be looked down on by most mammals in Zootopia, probably the world not the mention that she was a rabbit and he was a fox who by natural are supposed to be enemies.
Although she would never say any of this to him she could just see the smirk on his face and those clever things he would say to her about it. "So you're into that predator prey stuff carrots" was one thought she had that he might say if she told him how she felt.
She blushed at the thought of his devilish grin, she just loved his smile he was always so much more handsome when he smiled. But now even if he felt like that about her it didn't matter he was going on a date with another fox tonight which was better for him any way.
By this point tears where streaming down her face soaking her gray fur, she wiped the tears away trying to calm herself as she started the cruiser and pulled out of the ZPD's parking lot on her way home to cry herself to sleep thinking that she with never be with the male that she had fallen in love with.
