It felt like a quiet day, just sharing stories, little things that most would overlook.
He'd playfully let a play fight begin in which she'd win, but they'd both laugh about it anyway.
Nick knew that she was deliberately not trying to hurt him.
He also knew that it was all just for fun anyway.
Nick trusted her, saw in her something to believe in despite their first meeting and every remark of her being a dumb bunny; he'd grown to see her inner strength, determination, and that she had plenty of moments of being rather intelligent.
She was able to forgive him and yet she still saw her own flaws in the way they crisscrossed patterns over her heart and made some things downright frustrating.
Judy is a bunny that's able to overcome any obstacle in her path when she decides that's what she wants to do; he found a friend in her unlike any that he'd ever known.
She'd helped him grow, and Nick respected her a lot for that.
He smiled as he tried to listen to the tale about her siblings that she was telling him so excitedly; Nick had often wondered what it would have been like to have siblings and now he'd heard just about everything about them: the good, the bad, and every moment in between.
Judy adored her siblings for the most part though remembering all of their names had to be quite difficult; she'd talk his ear off on days when one or the other had irritated her, just dying to release her frustration on someone who wouldn't judge her for it.
On those days, he'd hug her close and remind her without having to say a word that he'd always be there for her and so would her siblings.
He figured that sometimes he may get just as annoying, but he was glad that they had that kind of bond: the kind where it didn't matter if he seemed that way sometimes.
It was true and genuine friendship; they'd forgive each other all their faults.
She was like a sister to the fox with no siblings despite the fact that they were very different species.
Judy often reminded him that life was worth believing in; times weren't quite as difficult to overcome as they first seemed.
Love could so easily conquer all.
Judy treated him like family which automatically put him at ease; he'd only ever had his mother and then Finnick to depend on and now he had a bunny that gave him a reason everyday to remain strong and believe in himself.
She was the best kind of friend that he'd ever known; she would make his sad days full of her weird brand of cheer that always made him smile or laugh.
Judy knew him better than almost anyone did.
He knew that she'd always be by his side despite any moment where they fought or either seemed annoying; they had the kind of bond to come back and patch up the temporary holes and love each other through it.
Judy was his inspiration on days when they first felt blank, meaningless, empty; she'd come waltzing in and give him something to shoot for.
She reminded him everyday to never give up, and she didn't need to always say it to remind him either.
Judy was his best friend, and he was hers.
Nick had found someone to root for, someone to believe in, and most importantly, someone who can make him see better things in himself.
Their friendship ran deep and strong and reminded him daily of how his life had changed since he met her for the better.
They loved each other as best friends, as siblings, and that could ran stronger than almost anything.
