_-Just a little side note, I plan to have this and the next couple of chapters into a 3 parts.-_

A few weeks has passed by and due to Nick with the situation involving a closet, (pretty funny if you think about it) He couldn't let the thought of asking out Alex. Even when he felt ready, he just looks at him and gets nervous, from a distance or close by. Even during late at night, he wouldn't know what to do. He would stay up late, thinking of what he did wrong. Things were tough until it finally happened.

Today, Nick walked inside of the break room during lunch. He was in there with a few other ZPD officers, chatting away. He walked over to the vending machine, staring at it. With Nick, He just can't choose things sometimes. He stood there for a couple of mins. thinking of what he want. Finally, he made a choice of a Cheetah Cola. (oh, so punny) He grabbed his dollar and slipped it in, only having it spit out. "Come on, don't do this to me." Nick told himself as he grabbed it. He tried flattening it on the edge of the machine and stuck it back in, only having it spit out again.

"Please, I just want a soda." He said to himself in a serious tone. He tried flipping it on the other side, thinking that will work. He stuck it in, having the green piece only slipping out. Nick sighed as he slipped his eyes onto his paw. "Need help?" a voice spoke up. Nick jumped a bit as he turned to see who it was. For a surprise, Alex was standing there. Pretty soon, Nick started to think on how to approach him. "Alex... What are you doing?" Nick spoke with a nervous smile. "Well, I came in to get my lunch, but I couldn't resist not trying to sneak up on you." Alex chuckled. He looked around Nick and saw the dollar sitting out of the machine.

"Having trouble?" Alex noticed. "It's this dollar." Nick said as he grabbed it out of the slot. "Do you have one?" Nick asked. Alex looked through his pockets and folded out a little pile of money he has. He flipped through the bills and found a single dollar and handed to Nick, while getting his crumbled dollar. Nick slipped it and it took it. "Thanks." Nick as he turned and looked back. "No problem."

Nick clicked a button and reached for the fallen drink. He walked to the counter beside him and leaned over it. "So, how is work for you today?" Alex brought up as he walked to the fridge. "Eh, he sent me to file a little with Benjamin. What about you?" "Oh, just helping a little in the investigation lab." Nick has a shocked look. "You work in the lab?" "Well, I assist. I go place things they need to be placed and I help with the microscope, looking up and writing what I see. I don't get involve with the investigation though, I just work with what they tell me to do." Alex responded as he grabbed a couple of containers, containing things for a salad.

Alex walked over to the table and started setting up his food in the container of lettuce, with Nick noticing what he is making. "You eat salad?" Nick chuckled. "I eat something light from time to time." He started to put things and realized he forgot something. "Shoot. Nick, could you get the blueberries out of the fridge?" "Oh, you got blueberries?" Nick said excited as he paced himself quickly over to the fridge. He pretty soon got them out of the fridge and walked over to the table. "I love blueberries." Nick blurted out. Alex put some in his food and scooted the leftover fruit to Nick.

"Oh, really? How nice of you." Nick spoke as Alex smirked and rolled his eyes. Nick sat down and put a few into his paws. He ate one as he watch Alex mix up his little container of veggies and fruit. Due to that, it got Nick thinking about how to approach Alex again. While he was thinking, he was watching, hoping that the others would leave. Luckily, One of them got a phone call and the group of people talking walked out. The reason was probably some type of emergency. That finally gave Nick a chance to ask "Okay Nick, might as well speak up." he thought as he started to feel nervous. He took a sip of his drink and exhaled through his nose. "So, Alex... Do you have any plans this afternoon?"

Alex was about to take a bite until Nick's question was asked. "No, why?" Alex said with a suspicious look at Nick. "Okay, don't back out." "I was wondering..." Nick stopped himself and breathed in and out. Nick was thinking until he felt his heart pounding and started to freak out. "I mean, if you don't want to..." Pretty soon, Nick just stopped the situation. "Oh, Forget it." Nick covered his face due to his embarrassment. "Nick, are you alright?" Alex worriedly spoke. "Yea, I'm fine." "You sure, because I have been noticing you being like that after the concert." Nick sit up closed his eyes, taking a deep breath. "Will you go out with me?"

Nick thought he was going to regret saying that. He opened his eyes slightly and looked over at Alex. His face was blushed red. "Oh no," Nick was thinking. "I shouldn't of asked him." and Nick started to jitter a little. "I'm sorry, I knew I shouldn't asked you. I mean, if you don-" "Yes." Alex interrupted. Nick froze up and looked at him. "I mean, I was going to ask you, for the honest truth." and Nick started to choke up.

"Wait, you were going to ask me out?" Nick said in shock. "Well, I had to ask someone to know what you liked first."

Few weeks ago...

Nick went off into the restroom and left Alex and Judy at the table. They both sat there in silence. Judy sighed and turned to Alex with a smile. "So Alex, speaking of relationships, do you have any?" She spoke up. Alex took a sip of his drink and sighed as he set it down. "No, not yet." Judy turned back and looked at her phone for the time. "Well, are you interested in anyone?" and Alex froze.

Judy wide eyed with a smile. "Oh my god, who are you interested?" and Alex just got a little nervous. Alex just sat there as he took a sip of his drink. "Come on, tell me." Alex didn't talk. He just sat there, leaving Judy to guess. "You want me to guess don't you? Alright… Oh, is it that panther. I know she is an eye for." Alex said nothing as he looked into her direction. "That's the only female I see around there. Do you go for a guy?"

Alex continued the silence but he gave a wink. Judy understood and started to think. "Oh, I didn't know. Is it one of the wolves?" Alex sat there again, with nothing. "Really? Well, is it feline related?" Alex shook his head a little. "Well, I am really not sure… Oh this is hard-" "Do you just want me to tell you?" Alex interrupted Judy's thinking. "Yes, I want to know."

Alex turned to Judy and looked right at her. "Alright, but don't tell anyone. Not even my little crush." Alex told in a serious tone. "I promise I won't. Now, who is it?" Judy couldn't hold her excitement. Alex took a deep breath and breathed it out. "It's Nick." and Judy has a grin on her face. "I can't believe you like Nick. That- Wait…" and she sat there thinking. She soon gasped and turned to Alex. "That's why Nick has been acting strange."

Alex looked at her confused. "Acting strange?" "You haven't noticed it?" Judy lifted her paw and let it fall on the table. "Ever since you joined Nick and I, he has been acting strange, getting nervous when you walked into his path, those things." and it finally his Alex. "Oh my God, how could have not noticed."

Present…

After that, I asked her what I would to get him interested. Then that's when the blueberries came out. Plus, if I forgot, I could tell that you enjoyed that dessert over at the restaurant a few weeks ago." and Nick could do nothing but chuckle. "If there is one weakness, it is blueberries." and Nick popped up another one into his mouth. "So, I guess it's a date then." Alex spoke as he cleaned up his garbage. "I look forward for it tonight." he continues as he put his containters in a plastic bag he got from his pocket. He soon left and left Nick feeling like to jumping with joy. He soon realized that he didn't say a time. "Wait!" He soon ran after Alex.
