It had been a long night after Nick and Judy had physically expressed their love for each other, and due to a lack of attention on Vitaly's part, Nick and Judy ended up sleeping inside of the sauna. Ultimately, the temperature was automatically adjusted to a comfortable 73 ℉ instead of the scorching 217 ℉ that Nick and Judy had encountered when they first entered the sauna. Although the sauna was a major change of scenery for the fox and bunny alike, Nick was able to turn off the lights and use extra towels as both makeshift sheets and improvised pillows. Luckily, after two solid hours of intense lovemaking, the two were able to resituate themselves on the solid oak floor of the sauna, and, while still embracing each other, the two descended into a calm, tranquil sleep.
Being the first to wake up the next morning, Judy rubbed her eyes as she felt her blood flowing to her stiff, fatigued body, giving color and vibrancy to her visage. Upon seeing Nick asleep, sprawled across the floor of the sauna, no longer covered by a towel, Judy's faced gained even more color, her reddening face reflecting her immense personal embarrassment. She frantically questioned what she was doing in such an exposed, intimate position with Nick. Originally, she wondered whether she was merely dreaming and whether her incongruous situation was the product of some erotic reverie. For Judy, such unconscious musings were not uncommon, for she had often, unwillingly, had intensely sensual dreams about Nick and his robust physique; however, she quickly came to terms with reality, beginning to hyperventilate as her sheer surprise overcame her composure.
Reacting to the sudden change in his surroundings, Nick was roused from his slumber, and, after briefly stretching his arms and regarding his long bushy tail with an unspoken sense of satisfaction, casually asked: "What's troubling ya' carrots?"
"I am just really confused. Did we… you know," asked Judy in a disconcerted tone.
"I'm not one hundred percent sure what you are referring to sweetheart," responded Nick coyly, attempting to repress a grin that was just starting to overcome his stoic countenance.
"Did we have sex?" asked Judy in an urgent and straightforward voice, deciding to refrain from the petty pleasantries that she was accustomed to.
Nick, anticipating that the pheromone or some monumental change of heart might allow her to accept the fact that they made love, was taken aback by such a forthright question. After feigning a yawn to suggest his nonchalant reception of Judy's question, Nick decided to answer the inquiry as directly and honestly as possible; the fox soon replied, "Well of course we did, don't you remember?"
Judy seemed shocked, answering, "Well, I do remember it, but my memories of yesterday are so hazy, at this point, I only remember that it was great!"
Nick exhaled a sigh of genuine relief, knowing that he was not going to be reprimanded for his carnal passion.
"You know Nick," Judy stated frankly, "I don't know if I am really comfortable with our relationship progressing this rapidly, maybe we should take it slowly, I mean what would my parents say about me dating a fox? No offense to you of course."
At this point, Nick began to regret his hasty behavior the night before, ultimately realizing that his actions might have been altogether too forward. "Maybe Judy is right… " thought Nick as he started to contemplate whether his romantic behavior, although personally satisfying, had taken advantage of Judy in her most vulnerable state, for he did not allow her proper time to come to her senses and make a decision of her own volition.
Although these feelings of regret and remorse began to form within him, he acknowledged that he must first confront the task at hand, comforting Judy until she would be calm enough to understand and accept the events that took place the night before.
"Judy," said Nick, who was completely honest with the confused bunny, "if you feel uncomfortable with what you remembered from last night, I understand if you need some space."
"Well, I appreciate your candor Nick, but I am just shocked that I would let you do such a thing to me. I must have been drunk or unconscious or something."
In many respects, Judy's concern was well-founded, for she rarely became intoxicated, even on weekends on holidays; Nick even viewed Judy's staunch moralism as somewhat of a turn-off and an aspect of her persona that needed to be reformed. In spite of her ostensible inhibitions, her actions the night before were unequivocally wild, and her passion-at least from Nick's perspective-was remarkable.
Without much more forethought or discussion, the couple collected their things, choosing to not take a shower or enjoy the many amenities of the sauna in favor of leaving the suite in which the contemptible events had taken place. After descending the stone stairs, they thanked Vitaly, who happened to be cleaning the floor of the ground level of the complex, and exited the building.
While returning to their apartment via the Zootopia metro, the couple almost said nothing to each other of note, instead electing to discuss the previous night's events in a more secure and private environment. Within the hour, they had reached their apartment on the third floor of their building, immensely relieved to be back in a place of familiarity.
Once the couple had actually reentered their apartment, Nick set his mind on coming clean about the ignoble acts he committed in the sauna, thus, the fox began to confess what he had done: "To be honest Judy, I put this pheromone-" and upon saying the word "pheromone" Judy briefly closed her eyes, opening them once more, she revealed to Nick that her eyes had peculiarly changed color from their characteristic violet hue to a bright, piercing green. Suddenly, Nick realized an obvious connection, upon staring into Judy's newly pigmented eyes, whose color resembled the viridescent tone of a ripe olive leaf. Nick recollected that when Judy became wild with lust and carnal desire her eyes were a beautiful tone of olive green as well. From this, Nick was able to conclude that every time her personality changed from her regular state into her vivacious and lusty state, her eyes changed to the shade of olive green that he now observed. Furthermore, Nick concluded that this must have been the effect of the pheromone as it somehow changed anatomical aspects of Judy's body along with her predisposition to sensual pleasure.
"Now all I must do is find out what makes her undergo this change," thought Nick pensively, "maybe it is an action, a word, or a location. It could very well be a word... I did say the word 'pheromone' and her eyes almost immediately changed color to that enchanting shade of olive green."
Nick decided that it would be prudent to wait and observe Judy's actions before jumping to any more conclusions about her change; after all, he did not want to discount any possibility that might be the key to unlocking Judy's complex altered psyche. In the meantime, he decided to instead focus on Judy's magnificent green eyes and see whether the change in her eye color would, in fact, do anything to alter her emotions.
Upon shifting his attention back to Judy, Nick immediately observed a low-pitched purr which seemed to be emanating from Judy's breast. The purr which Judy seemed to be emitting appeared to be completely unconscious, for Judy did not smile or give any intimation that this visceral vibration of her corporal figure was intentional. Nick stared directly at Judy, entranced and enchanted by the beauty of her green eyes which seemingly radiated a primeval power that instinctively drew Nick closer to Judy's body. Both animals were completely exposed, and although it might seem unlikely, the heat and intensity of the moment made both animals temporarily forget about how they came to reveal themselves fully to each other once more. Now, the clothing that had once concealed their full magnificence had been cast aside in favor of their natural, primordial figures which seemed to now be insulted by the shrouds that they had once used to conform to society's insatiable desire to make every being presentable and morally comfortable. Instead, Judy and Nick had subconsciously elected to disregard the scorn or demands of society, deciding to express their carnal desires rather than allow Zootopia's strict dictates to prevent their basic, wild embrace that seemed to exist in a realm that bordered between earthly joy and ethereal bliss. This excellent moment demanded no grandiloquence, it merely required both desiring beings to be immersed in pure, boundless pleasure as their sensual instincts overwhelmed their intellect and reason.
Before the two figures could be inundated with their mutual passion, Nick left Judy's side and rushed over to one of the corners of the apartment nearest to the windows overlooking the mammalian metropolis and opened the vintage phonograph that the couple kept as an ornamental antique. Though the two rarely used the phonograph, for it was usually easier to simply turn on Spotify or Pandora, Nick's sentimental and romantic disposition compelled him to remove the record player's beechwood cover and hastily chose a vinyl record to listen to. In his rushed scramble to select the ideal music to serve as an inspiring overture to their intense lovemaking, Nick pulled an ostensibly ancient and treasured vinyl from underneath the record player, which was mounted on a low table. Across the front of the record was "The Works of Varvara Panina-1905-1910", written in Tsarist Cyrillic. Although Nick only had a rudimentary sense of the modern Cyrillic alphabet, he had learned to associate the superlative music of the early twentieth-century Roma singer Varvara Panina with the red lettering which was ornately featured on the vinyl cover.
Deciding to waste no time, Nick plugged in the phonograph, situated the record in its proper place, and placed the stylus on a random place near the outer edge of the slightly warped record, allowing the beauty of the Roma singer's voice fill the small apartment. Meanwhile, Judy's moist, small nose began to twitch with curiosity as she witnessed Nick fiddle intensely with the record until Panina's voice began to dominate the bijou flat. Still in her odd, inexplicable state of sensual readiness and eagerness, Judy sat with her knees on the ground, allowing her body to naturally rest on the heels of her feet. The bunny's olive green eyes seemed to subtly question Nick's odd actions; furthermore, it seemed as if Judy's viridescent eyes reflected the emotionlessness of her soul, for after the transformation of her eye color Judy did not utter a word, instead she sniffed the air with morbid curiosity.
Nick, although comforted by the lack of interrogation from Judy, was nonetheless unsettled by the voluble rabbit's sudden silence. Turning back to face the exposed rabbit, Nick closed his eyes and took a relieved sigh, lifting the stresses of his inner psyche off of his shoulders. To Nick, his personal, internal struggle with his own subconscious was exemplified by his instinctive need to turn on music before he engaged in intercourse with Judy. For the fox, music was the only medium that would allow him to attain sexual gratification. Although he never shared the strange condition with friends, family, or even his closest confidants, it was a reality of his life which dominated his fantasies and how he viewed Judy on a daily basis.
During Nick's brief sigh, the fox began to contemplate how music affected his attraction to Judy, a rabbit to whom he was inexplicably drawn; moreover, Nick's platonic love and sexual attraction to Judy Hopps was further strengthened by the bunny's seemingly boundless optimism and willingness to make the world a better place. Though these facts alone should have motivated Nick to fall in love with Judy, surprisingly it was her timing that beguiled him. For their entire relationship after Bellwether was captured, Nick was stunned by Judy's consistent ability to place herself in environments that had spectacular ambiences with unquestionably wonderful music. Nick, being relatively well cultured, was drawn to romantic foreign music; in fact, Nick's soul had a peculiarly strong affinity to poetry and music in foreign languages. Nick's predisposition to foreign music and literature was especially profound for Slavic languages; this preference for Slavic culture was actually the original foundation for Nick's close relationship with Vitaly, the grizzly bear from Tundra Town. Throughout his life, Nick was specifically attached to the poetic compositions of Sergei Yesenin and Alexander Pushkin, for both Russian poets' perspectives on the unspoken, silent qualities of love and infatuation resonated deeply with Nick's perception of classical romance. Due to his desire for perfection in romance and his tendencies to select older, more romantic music for his times alone with Judy in the apartment, it became almost necessary for Nick to play what he perceived as the perfect music whenever he made love with or even fantasized about Judy.
Now that Panina's music filled the room, Nick shifted his undivided attention to Judy's aloofly pensive expression. Sitting down with his legs crossed on the area rug situated underneath Judy's long, muscular feet, Nick, without saying a word, stared with immense intensity into Judy's viridescent eyes whose emptiness gave her entire visage a sense of mental and emotional vacancy. Nick pondered what functions could be occurring behind the facade of Judy's empty visage; suddenly, Nick recalled the previous night and Judy's insatiable lust and passion in Vitaly's sauna. The fox also recollected that Judy had not said anything noteworthy or expressed her emotions verbally after the pheromone affected her physically and psychologically. Upon remembering these details about the preceding night, Nick decided to take advantage of the situation instead of questioning Judy's behavior, for Nick reasoned that the only way to effectively "remedy" Judy's situation is to help her reach gratification as she did the previous night. Nick himself was overcome with lust and the ease of utilizing Judy's energy and passion whenever her eye color changed from its regularly vibrant purple to olive green. Ultimately electing to figure out the mystery of the situation at a later time, Nick and Judy soon reached a state of orgasmic bliss which was immediately succeeded by a long and sound rest.
Once again, as a relatively civilized and reasonable author, I choicefully will not allow you to indulge in any sort of bestial reverie involving intercourse between a fox and a rabbit-you can do that on your own time. Instead, I will once again offer you a dose of sagacity and wisdom pertaining to the subject from a talented and renowned Portuguese literarian whose work frequently elaborates on the profundities of the human condition along with life's mysteries and overarching, undeniable truths.
"Anyone who is in love is making love the whole time, even when they're not. When two bodies meet, it is just the cup overflowing. They can stay together for hours, even days. They begin the dance one day and finish it the next, or-such is the pleasure they experience-they may never finish it." - Paulo Coelho
