*vrrr* *vrrr* *vrrr*
Nick's phone, which he left on the bedside table, vibrated a few times, enough to wake the fox up.
"Ngh" growled the predator as he reached for it, then Nick yawn and rubbed both of his eyes before reading some texts he got.
"Hi, Nick"
"It's Maggie"
"Wanna go for some coffee?"
"Sure" replied the fox.
"Great, I'll be there in a couple of minutes" texted back the vixen.
After leaving the phone back on the table, Nick tried to get out of bed but the bunny was still sleeping and hugging his tail so he turned around and carefully pulled it out of Judy's arm, who just wiggled and rubbed her face against the pillow.
The fox just smile before caressing her cheek with one of his claws, making her muzzle twitch. Then, Nick slowly got up and changed his clothes without making a noise before getting out of the room and walking downstairs.
The fox was about to walk out of the house when a voice that came from the living room tensed his ears and made him freeze.
"Where are you going, Nick?" asked Connie, who was siting in one of the couches with a bowl of cereal.
"Connie!...God, you scared me..." the fox turned around while trying to catch his breath "...what are you doing?"
"Having breakfast while listening to the news..." she showed his one of her headphones "...what about you?" insisted the vixen.
"I'm just going for some coffee with Maggie" Nick pointed at the door.
"Hmmm...Judy is still sleeping, right?" asked Connie.
"Y-yeah" the fox tried his best not to blush as he remembered the cuteness on the bunny's face just a few minutes ago.
"Cool, I'll prepare some breakfast for her" she got up from the couch and walked into the kitchen.
"Bye then" said Nick before leaving.
"Bye" his cousin's voice disappeared as the fox closed the door and walked down the porche steps.
He stood there for a few seconds until he decided to take out his phone but at that exact moment he saw a motorcycle coming towards him at a questionable speed.
"Morning, Wilde!" Maggie greeted the fox, who took a step back to avoid being run over.
"Hey, Maggie..." smiled Nick "...I didn't know you had a bike"
"It's more comfortable for this narrow streets...anyway, put this on..." she opened the trunk and handled him a helmet "...ready?..." asked the vixen after the fox got on the motorcycle "...hold on tight" Maggie suddenly accelerated and started riding to a place where they could have some coffee.
A FEW MINUTES LATER...
Judy finally woke up, the bunny yawned and stretched under the warmth of the bedsheets before realizing that Nick wasn't with her, despite the strong scent his pillow gave off. The bunny got out of bed, walked to the bathroom door and knocked to check if the fox was inside.
After no getting any response, Judy walked back to the bed and lay down on Nick's side, she couldn't resist sniffing her partner's pillow while rubbing her slightly flustered cheeks against it.
*CRASH*
A loud noise that came from downstairs interrupted and startled her, so, after waiting for a few seconds, the bunny left the room and slowly walked down the stairs to find out that the responsable of the noise was Connie, who was sweeping up a broken bowl.
"Oh, good morning, Judy..." the vixen greeted her "...I'm sorry for waking you up"
"It's okey..." she nicely smiled "...by the way, have you...seen Nick?" asked Judy while looking around the living room.
"Yeah, he just left...he went to get some coffee with Maggie" Connie threw the little pieces of ceramic in the bin.
"Oh" the bunny's ears leaned back.
"Do you wanna eat something?" kindly asked the vixen.
"Sure" Judy sat on the table.
"I didn't know what you liked so..." said Connie as the bunny looked around all of the different types of food that were on the table "...I got you a bit of everything"
"Thanks Connie" they both sat on the table before Judy started eating.
Meanwhile, Nick and Maggie arrived to a café, whose surroundings were decorated by the colorful trees that already flourished.
"See how beautiful this place is...I told you the ride was worth it" commented the vixen after she parked her bike.
"I still don't know how you got your license" complained the fox after he took off the helmet.
"Oh stop whining, Wilde..." said Maggie before walking towards the door of the café "...Greg!...two coffees out here, please" she ordered.
"Right away, Marge" answered the wolf that was behind the bar.
While the vixen and the fox waited for their hot drinks they sat at a little table that was outside the establishment.
A COUPLE OF MINUTES LATER...
"So, Nick..." asked Maggie as she poured a bit of sugar in her coffee before mixing it "...tell me about Zootopia, you must have a lot of crime to fight in a city that big"
"The city is good but since I joined the ZPD not that long ago I haven't been assigned any big case, although I think Judy and I make a great team" Nick unconsciously smiled.
"Hmm...that bunny...you two really seem to get along" the vixen sipped her drink.
"Yeah, she is a fantastic friend" he kept smiling.
"And haven't you thought of her as...something more than a friend?" Maggie's question made a chill go through the fox's body.
"Wh-what?" asked Nick with blush cheeks.
"Well...pretty much everybody here thought you guys were dating and it was because you have great chemistry"
"I mean...it's true that Judy is always nice and kind to me, even when I try to annoy her...she was always there when I needed her...and since she appeared in my life everything has been going a lot better..." the fox's could feel his heart beating slightly faster "...mmm" Nick covered his face with both of his paws.
"What's wrong?"
"I like Judy" confessed the fox.
