CHAPTER ONE

I couldn't keep myself from writing a Zootopia fanfic.

Judy & Nick are just so adorable and I am literally obsessed with the movie. I ship them so hard, holy crap.

However, I hope you enjoy the story. It's filled with humour, love and giggles, but it'll be having a really dark side as well.

Don't be disappointed - you've been warned! Anyone who likes fluffy romance with a hint of passion and sudden plot twists is welcome to read. xoxo

The concert was over, to Nick's relief. Not like he didn't like Gazelle, he just wasn't into that kind of music. He was wearing his typical smug grin as he looked down at Judy, who was walking beside him, still singing the song. They were on their way home, Judy asked Nick to bring her home, since it was already dark outside und the streets were mostly empty.

"How often are you going to make me listen to that cheesy song?" he asked playfully, his grin widening as she looked up to him.

"Over and over and over! Until you get the message, you're a dumb fox after all, maybe you don't understand the meaning." she teased him with a sly grin. He snickered at her remark and looked forward, his paws in his pockets. He looked to his side from time to time, hoping to stay undetected as he watched her jumping and bouncing around, her tiny paws in the air. She was extremely happy and satisfied, which warmed Nick's heart. He sighed blissfully and looked forward again.

"I never knew you're a dancer, though." Judy suddenly threw in and grinned devilishly at him, her violet eyes observing his face to see his reaction. Nick just grinned and slowly turned his head to look at her.

"There are a lot of things you don't know about me yet, Carrots."

"I'm sure, like the all them vixens going crazy for your dance moves, huh?" she remarked sarcastically, hiding it behind an innocent grin.

"At least rolling my arms with a sexy smirk will get me more vixens than your jumping around will get you bucks." he shot back, giving her a victorious grin. Judy's expression flattened for a second, but soon she got her composure back.

"I am not really looking for a buck, so jumping around like a lunatic will do, since we bunnies are known for jumping and bouncing, slick Nick." she said with a cheeky smile, never losing eye contact with the fox. He just snickered and straightened his tie.

"We're almost there." Judy said and pointed towards a building. Nick tilted his head slightly, observing the area Judy lived in. This was a criminal area and a little bunny like her couldn't be safe around here. His heartbeat increased a little as he turned to Judy.

"You live... here?!"

"Yeah, why?"

"Just asking. This isn't exactly the right place for a cute, harmless bunny like you." he said slyly, grinning at her. She rolled her eyes sarcastically as she looked up into his green eyes.

"I told you to refrain from calling me cute, fox boy." she grunted with a forced grin.

"Can't help it, Carrots. You bunnies are just too cute to be put in danger." he remarked cheekily, staring right back at her with his trademark grin.

"I am not harmless either, you should be afraid of those teeth of mine and I can also kick very, very hard, so stop messing with me, you savage fox." she said and punched his arm playfully. He chuckled in return and nodded.

"Yeah, don't wanna get eaten by a cute bunny, that would ruin my reputation."

"Nick!" she groaned in frustation, clenching her tiny fists. She looked at him as angry as she could, but soon her features softened as he kept smiling at her. She couldn't help but laugh at herself.

"Told ya', too cute." Nick teased. She rolled her eyes and they strolled towards her apartment building.

Infront of it they stopped and turned towards eachother. Judy looked up at him with pointed ears, as he kept looking around, checking every inch out. She bit her lip and sighed happily.

"Thank you for bringing me home and most importantly, thank you for helping me solve the case. You helped me so much and I am really grateful for that." she said and gave him a sincere and lovely smile. He turned his head to look at her, his expression somewhat emotionless for a second, before he returned her kind smile and nodded.

"It was my pleasure, officer Hopps. Never thought working with a bunny could be that much of a thrill. I am actually looking forward to being a cop." he admitted with a smug grin. Judy chuckled.

"See you on Monday at the ZPD... partner." she said, offering him another sweet smile before she went inside. She turned around to look at him once more, waiting for a response. He looked at her with a cute grin and nodded.

"Don't party too hard this weekend or you'll be hungover at work. Chief buffalo butt wouldn't like that." he taunted and chuckled heartily at her flattening expression. She sighed with a grin.

"Same goes for you, don't make the vixens go too crazy."

"Oh, but I can't help it, it's just natural." he remarked with a dirty wink, which had Judy twitch her nose at him in a slightly disgusted way.

"You're going too far into detail, slick Nick."

"I knew a cute little bunny couldn't take it." he breathed out with a smug grin, while turning around. "See ya', Carrots."

Judy growled loudly as she watched him disappear into the night. As he was gone her growl faded and turned into a sigh, followed by a warm smile. She closed the door and went upstairs into her apartment, preparing dinner. Afterwards she watched a show on TV and then went to sleep.

Nick walked down the streets with his hands behind his back and took a few deep breaths. His whole life was about to change, thanks to a little bunny that grew up on a carrot farm. He never thought life had something like this in store for him, but he wasn't disappointed. She was the first female creature that could keep up with his attitude, without thinking too much of it - or at least he thought so. In fact, she kept firing back the same way he did, basically feeding him with his own medicine from time to time, which was a welcomed thrill for him. He never thought a bunny could take his humor and his flirtatious ways, but she put up with it. He sighed blissfully at the thought of having found a friend and partner in crime. Though right now he needed some guy time with his friend Finnick, who was already waiting at a bar.

Nick entered the bar with his typical grin, his hands thrown into his pockets, as he made his way over to a booth where Finnick was sitting, enjoying the company of two attractive vixens, obviously sisters. Nick sat down at the empty side of the booth and gave Finnick a mischievous grin.

"Enjoying yourself, I see." he remarked sarcastically.

"I could say the same, since you're a real cop now, huh?" Finnick answered, giving Nick a mocking grin. Nick leaned back against the booth and put his hands behind his head.

"I did not anticipate or expect it, but being a cop is really cool."

"Oh lord, are you really a cop?" one of the vixens asked him, resting her elbows on the table to get a better view of him, her dark blue eyes focused on him. Nick raised an eyebrow and nodded slowly.

"Uh, yeah. Why?"

"That is so sexy. I always wanted to get arrested by a handsome cop like you." she said and flashed him a flirtatious smile. Her sister giggled at that. Nick looked somewhat dumbfounded for a second, but collected himself soon. He straightened his tie once again and cleared his throat, awkwardly avoiding eye contact. He was quite a flirt, but when things got serious he usually backed out.

"Uh, well, if you commit a crime or do a punishable offense, I just might. But right now I'm off duty." he answered coldly, yet grinning cheekily.

"Would it be a crime to get the officer something to drink?" she asked, flashing her lashes at him. This caught him a bit off guard and he got a little nervous, but tried to hide it. Again, he cleared his throat.

"Uh, sure."

"Whiskey." Finnick threw in. "He likes Whiskey on ice."

The vixen nodded and gave Nick a satisfied grin, before she stood up to order a Whiskey.

"Finnick, what the hell?" Nick asked in a reproachful tone, his ears a little droopy.

"Hey, you have to celebrate being a cop now. You won't be having much time to drink and have dirty one night stands. That time's soon gonna be over, so let's make the best out of tonight." Finnick said plainly, shrugging. Nick could feel his ears getting hot at Finnick's remarks, especially as the vixen beside Finnick started giggling hysterically.

Nick swallowed hard and stared outside the window to avoid awkward topics like this. Soon the vixen came back and offered him his glass of Whiskey, which he took in one of his hands with a friendly nod. She sat down beside him, which made him a little uneasy. She was gorgeous with her smoky black fur and white markings, those big dark blue eyes and long lashes. Nick backed away towards the window a little, taking a sip of his strong Whiskey.

"Don't like me near you?" she asked with a hint of sadness in her tone, as she noticed that he had backed away from her. Finnick rolled his eyes at his nervous 'brother'.

"Get yourself together, man." he said in an edgy tone and glared at Nick.

"No, no, no! I was just trying to get a better view on what's happening outside, you know. As a cop you gotta watch your neighborhood." Nick said with a sheepish grin.

"I thought you're off duty?" she replied, crossing her arms with raised eyebrows.

"I sure am, but still ... in case someone needs my help, you know."

"Such a good hearted soul." Finnick remarked sarcastically and chuckled at his own comment. Nick glared at Finnick shortly, then looked back at the vixen.

"I never caught your name." Nick said quickly to change the topic.

"It's Lizzy." she replied with a cute smile and offered him her paw. He stared blankly at it for a second before taking and shaking it.

"Officer Nick Wilde."

Suddenly there was a loud laughter from the other side of the booth, as Finnick was laughing heartily. Nick stared at him in an annoyed way.

"Already introducing yourself as an officer, take it slow, Nicky." Finnick barked through his laughter. Nick squeezed his eyes shut and growled inwardly, but decided to let it go. As someone squeezed his paw his eyes shot open and he realized he was still holding Lizzy's paw in his.

"Pleasure to meet you." she said, before finally letting go. Nick felt his ears drooping, as they were getting hot again. This was hella odd. He decided to get over it by drowning in his Whiskey, so he gulped it and ordered another one.

After a few drinks he started to relax and leaned against his booth, talking to Lizzy in a calm way, finally able to flirt the way he always did. If only Judy knew how bashful he actually was on the inside.

"So, how long have you been a cop?" Lizzy asked as she smiled at Nick, already a little tipsy from the wine she was drinking. Nick chuckled and turned towards her, one arm resting on the table, the other arm resting on the booth.

"Only a day, actually." he admitted with a smug grin, that made her giggle.

"Oh, that must be exciting. As far as I know there has never been a fox at the ZPD, since they claim that predators like us are untrustworthy."

"Believe me, I know. There has never been a bunny at the ZPD either, but it was actually that bunny that helped me to get a job there." he said as he started to hiccup.

"Oh, that grey hero bunny? She is your partner?" Lizzy asked, looking a little surprised.

"Yeah."

"Working with a bunny? As a fox? Ain't that annoying? I mean, mammals in Zootopia can be pretty judgemental." she said, trying to hide the disgust in her tone. She wasn't very fond of bunnies, especially not if they worked together with this handsome officer she just laid her eyes on.

"I don't really care. She is cool and actually very smart. Made me change the view on my life. And there's nothing to be judgemental about, she's a cop, I am a cop, we work together, that's not really a crime." Nick replied, never losing his grin or his cool posture. Lizzy smiled at him and nodded.

"No, but I am sure she'll fall head over heels for you, I mean, just look at you." she said as she ran a finger down his chest. He watched her finger slide down his shirt and then looked deeply into her eyes, getting a lustful gaze from her in return.

"She is a bunny, I am a fox. Not only that we aren't the same species, I am a predator and she is not. There is no way that could ever happen." Nick reassured her with a sly grin.

"That means there's more for me?"

"All for you." Nick whispered seductively, as someone cleared their throat across from them. Nick looked at Finnick and raised his eyebrows.

"Get a room." Finnick scoffed and rolled his eyes. Suddenly Nick lost all his cool as he realized what he was doing and came to a straight position, staring at Finnick, his hands on the table clenched onto that glass of Whiskey infront of him. Lizzy looked quite puzzled at his sudden change of attitude, but decided to play along.

Finnick facepalmed and sighed loudly.

"I didn't mean to interrupt, this was just getting a lil' too frisky for me." Finnick remarked.

"I-I don't ... know what ... what came over me." Nick stuttered as he turned to look at Lizzy. "I am sorry if I was being too forward." he added, his palms getting sweaty.

"Why so nervous? You did nothing wrong." she reassured him, placing a paw on his shoulder to calm him down. Nick felt his ears heat up again, what was wrong with him? There was this ravishing vixen that obviously wanted to go home with him and he was slurring all his words, behaving like a teenager. Maybe it was the lack of sleep.

"I just feel ... really tense after solving one of the biggest cases in history, it was one big adventure, so I am still a bit giddy. I will calm down eventually." Nick explained nervously, grinning at the pretty vixen, who smiled back at him.

"No need to be shy around me. I will get you another glass and wait until you're fully relaxed." she said and without waiting for a response she snatched his glass away and went towards the bar. Nick looked helplessly at Finnick, his eyes opened widely. Finnick sighed and glared at Nick.

"You've never been out with such an enticing vixen before, Nick. Get yourself together, this is a one time chance. How could you picture a better way to celebrate into your new life? Grab the bull by its horns and stop hesitating, it's not like you're cheating on someone other than your right paw." Finnick stated and after rolling his eyes, Nick nodded reluctantly.

'I have nothing to lose.' Nick told himself and got into a self-confident position and smirked at Lizzy as she approached the table with two glasses of alcohol.

They kept drinking a bit as they finally left the bar together and stumbled down the streets, towards Nick's apartment. They kept telling eachother dirty jokes and laughed. Nick was feeling quite comfortable around this pretty creature, just like he felt around ... damn.

Nick struggled to get the key into the lock and in an attempt to help him Lizzy stumbled and grabbed Nick by his collar to keep balance. As they stood so close by eachother, she kissed him passionately, leaving him bewildered for a moment, before he gave in and kissed back. He pulled away after some time and opened the door. They got inside and Lizzy immediately vanished into his bathroom. Nick closed the door behind him and leaned against it, sighing deeply. He felt so oddly unsure about this, though he couldn't lay a finger on it why he was feeling this way.

The beautiful vixen came out of the bathroom, wearing nothing but her lingerie. Nick's eyes widened at the pleasant view infront of him and he started panicking internally, but tried to keep his cool.

"You're still dressed?" she asked playfully and placed herself on the edge of Nick's bed. He slowly approached her and swallowed hard.

"Uh, yeah, uh, I am a little cold." he lied timidly through his teeth, never breaking the gaze with her. She chuckled in return.

"I'll make you warm. Get rid of those old-fashioned clothes, big boy." she teased and started moving her bushy tail seductively.

In the split of a second Nick was fully undressed, letting her stare at his now nude body. She tilted her head and Nick felt his ears and muzzle burning. He was too drunk for this shit and totally embarrassed, but tried to hide his insecurities behind a sexy smirk, like usual.

"Hm, I was hoping you'd be more excited, but we're about to change that." Lizzy breathed passionately, making Nick take a look downwards, where everyone seemed to be asleep. He now felt his whole body getting tense and covered his manhood with his paws, he was probably making a fool out of himself right now, but he felt too dizzy to think rational.

Lizzy made her way over to him and smashed her lips against his, making him lose balance. They both fell to the floor, Lizzy landing on top of him, which didn't break her kiss. Moments later the confused red fox kissed her back, feeling nothing while doing so. She then stood up and grabbed his chest fur harshly to pull him towards the bed. He followed unwillingly. Standing infront of the bed the pushed him onto it.

"Damn, you're hard to please." she whispered hastily into his ear, as she started nibbling his neck. Nick groaned at her soft nibbles, but his mind was still off the track. He closed his eyes and tried to concentrate, but suddenly he felt some sort of sensation, started feeling woozy and passed out on the bed.

Lizzy looked at his lifeless body, shook him a few times, but realized that nothing was going to happen tonight. She grunted as she grabbed Nick's boxers to cover his manhood with it. She went to the other side of the bed, sighed and slowly drifted off to sleep.

The next morning, Sunday, Nick woke up due to a knock on his door. He opened his eyes and felt a throbbing pain in his head. He rubbed his eyes and slowly got up. He looked around the room and spotted his clothes on the ground. He facepalmed as the memory of the last night came back. He wasn't sure whether they did 'it' or not, that was a part he couldn't quite remember, but he doubted that he would've been able to please anyone in that state he was in last night. He wondered why he drank THAT much. He looked around the room and it seemed that Lizzy was gone, since she was nowhere to be seen. He sighed and slowly got up, put his boxers on and went to open the door.

As he did so he looked into widely opened violet eyes. Infront of him stood Judy, holding a box of pizza. For a moment Nick froze, since he was wearing nothing but boxers, but soon decided to tease Judy with it.

Judy stood infront of Nick, utterly shocked, she never wished to see that much of him, though she was surprised he looked quite well under his shirt. She stared at him with her mouth opened, not able to say a word.

"Like what you see, Carrots?" Nick finally spoke, leaning against the doorframe with the dirtiest grin anyone could imagine. Judy shook her head and chuckled awkwardly, facing the floor.

"I... um... sorry, I didn't... uh... I didn't expect to see you like this." she said with droopy ears, feeling her cheeks getting hot. Nick snickered and crossed his arms, enjoying himself as he kept teasing the innocent bunny.

"Oh, admit it. You only came here to stare at me."

"No, not really. I came here to bring you pizza. After all you've done for me, I wanted to give something back to you. I figured you'd be hungover today, so I decided to bring you something to eat." Judy admitted, offering a sweet, yet uncomfortable smile as she slowly looked up into his eyes. Nick couldn't help but smile at the sincere gesture.

"That's too cute, officer Hopps. I really had too much drink last night, you're a miracle." he admitted and snickered. "Let me just put my shirt on, I don't wanna distract you cute little bunny too much." he added with a wink and went into the bedroom. He came back wearing a black T-Shirt, but still only boxers. Judy gave him an annoyed look.

"You like to push the limits, huh?" she asked with an eyeroll.

"No, I like to push cute bunnies around."

"Seriously..."

"Ok, ok, I'll stop, but only 'cause you've brought pizza." Nick finally gave in with a smug grin as he grabbed the pizza and turned around to walk inside. Judy, still standing on his doormat, just watched him, not moving an inch. She could smell that something was odd about his apartment. It could've been the alcohol, but it could've also been pheromones. Nick glanced over his shoulder and looked at Judy, who seemed to be puzzled.

"What's wrong? Come inside." he said. He watched her closely and saw her nose twitching, just then he remembered what it must smell like... he had a horny vixen over last night and he must have smelled like her. He mentally scolded himself for not taking a shower first, but tried to hide it from Judy.

"Uh, actually-" Judy started, but was cut off by the bathroom door opening. A gorgeous black vixen covered in nothing but a towel entered the livingroom. Judy's eyes widened in horror as she realized what she had walked into. Nick nearly choked on his own breath and immediately looked to Judy, who took a few steps backwards.

"Judy, it's not-" but Nick couldn't finish. Judy suddenly turned away and covered her eyes with her tiny paws.

"I didn't mean to disturb! I am so sorry! Enjoy your pizza." she stammered, slammed the door shut and ran out of the building.

"WAIT!" Nick called out, but she was already gone. He growled and drooped his ears, this was nothing he wanted Judy to see. It was none of her business, but it still felt awfully wrong.

Lizzy looked puzzled as she kept looking at the door, then at Nick, then at the door again and then at Nick again.

"Did I miss something?" she asked with her eyebrows raised. Nick sat down on the couch and cupped his head in his hands with a loud sigh.

"Why are you still here?" he asked coldly, not even looking at her.

"Oh, I remember last night you wanted me over desperately and now you want me to leave?!"

"Sort of."

"Because of a freaking bunny? You serious?" she snapped, her tone increasing volume. Nick finally looked up at her with a scowl all over his face.

"This has nothing to do with her being a bunny. She is my partner and shouldn't see me in situations like this. It's awkward." he grunted back.

"So, if she's nothing more than a working partner, why is she showing up at your door this early with a fucking pizza? Is she trying to corrupt you? Wanting to get in the pants of a predator?" Lizzy hissed, her paws placed on her hips. Nick stared at her blankly for a short moment, before snarling loudly.

"GET THE FUCK OUT AND DO NOT EVER TALK ABOUT HER LIKE THAT AGAIN!" he growled viciously, making Lizzy's breath hitch. She clicked her tongue and turned her back on him.

"I see." she whispered, before disappearing into the bathroom again. Nick leaned against his couch and stared out of the window. This was one awful way to start a Sunday. As Lizzy came out of the bathroom again, she was fully dressed and had a dark scowl on her face.

She went straight towards the door, when Nick called her name and she stopped in her tracks, the door handle already in her paw. She looked over her shoulder - she seemed furious. Nick got up and slowly walked towards her.

"One last question - did we... you know?" he asked timidly, hoping she'd say no.

"If we had sex?" Lizzy asked, turning around to face him with crossed arms. "Yes, officer. We did have wild, dirty and reckless sex, all night long, until you passed out. Explain that to your bunny." she snarled, before opening the door and vanishing. She slammed the door so hard, that a few items in Nick's apartment fell from the shelf. He stared at the door in disbelief, he couldn't remember any of it. He pulled on his own ears, feeling even more guilty than before. He walked back towards the couch and dialed Judy's number, but it went straight to voicemail. He sighed and leaned back, mentally scolding himself for bringing himself in such an awkward position.

Rough start, I know.

But I want you to hang on.

Please review & tell me what you think. xoxo
