Making Love

Nick looked down at his sleeping bunny. Her head rested on his chest and one hand clung to his old green shirt that she hated. He noticed that her slow and steady breathing was the only sound he heard in their room. One of his hands gently rested on her head he felt a silly grin spreading across his face. How could he have fell so deeply in love with her? And so quickly! Of course, there had been vixens and he thought he'd been in love, but now he knew he'd only been fooling himself. This naïve, energetic, intelligent, loving, and yes – cute bunny had turned his miserable existence into one they now enjoyed together.

He had to admit it to himself that he wasn't really living back then! He just existed from only one hustle to the next. Deep inside he knew he eventually be caught and maybe that's what he really wanted. Now he was really glad they it happened to be her. He looked down again and gently stoked his bunny's grey fur. Then his thoughts drifted back to their first time they'd worked together and smiled. They didn't always see eye to eye – and that was bit of an understatement! But in the end they'd caught the bad guys, but his one regret was in the process at times he'd treated her badly. Afterwards he apologized and surprisingly she accepted it.

Later with his bunny's help he'd been accepted to police academy and it had been the hardest six months of his life. But at the end she'd been right there waiting for him! That day she'd pinned on his badge had been the happiest one of his life or at least he thought that at the time. Then after the ceremony he found that his mother was there too! He hadn't seen her in years. That sneaky bunny had found her and invited Catherine to his graduation. Again he stroked grey fur and she said his name. He felt his eyes grow moist and then he laid his tail over her.

Then he thought of his first day at the ZPD. He chuckled remembering how gruff old Chief 'buffalo butt' had treated him and Judy's soft little snicker. God she was so cute! He knew by then he'd fallen hopelessly in love with her. Then that first day they were in the car alone – by themselves - together and it just came out of his mouth.

"You know you love me."

"Do I know that?" she said looking away for a moment and then purple eyes met green ones. "Yes." Then she leaned just a bit closer. "Yes, I do."

She loves me! He thought and then Flash almost took off the front of their curser. When they'd pulled him over he had to restrain himself from reaching in the car and ringing Flash's neck. After that they just got into the habit of being together almost all the time – either on patrol or after work just hanging out. Finally after a few months he could no longer restrain himself and pointedly told his bunny that he loved her. Then he waited for her reaction. First she only stared at him and then a smile grew and her eye sparkled. A few seconds later he found his bunny in his arms and her lips pressed against his. It was so out of character for his usually prim and proper bunny that to say the least he was surprised. He felt his sleeping bunny snuggle closer and put an arm around her. She sighed and he lightly petted her.

Lately they had grown closer and now shared an apartment together. He had of course been the perfect gentlefox. After a few months they'd gotten more comfortable with each other and began to sleep together, but he didn't try to take advantage of the situation. Of course, like any couple they kissed, held each other close, and found out what they each of them enjoyed. For his bunny there were limits to everything and one time he'd pushed those limits she ignored him. He knew immediately that she was angry, but when he sincerely apologized she accepted. After that he was much more careful. Then impulsively he held his sleeping bunny close and lightly put his lips to hers.

Then she woke and purple eyes looked into his. She saw his grin and then just grinned back at him.

"Nick, what are you thinking about?"

"Making love."

His bunny blushed.
