"I warn you."

"Sorry? I don't hear that."

They were just taking a casual walk and all was good until Judy proposed the horrendous suggestion. The bunny had to face her partner in his full-rejection mode.

"Don't you dare!"

Like a kit whose boxes of candy in his possession were about to be taken over, Nick's eyes flashed with horror and utter displeasure, the major part of his body had the furs standing out. Judy found the fox's whole feature looked a lot like comical expression in the child magazine she used to read when she was still young.

"You are even cuter with that face." she giggled, and with mild amusement witnessed of how fast the expression shifted into an annoyed look.

"No," Nick let out frustrated groan. This would just occasionally happen here and there, but that didn't exactly make it less irritating. "Just no." he firmly pushed aside the idea.

"Come on!" Judy bounced around him, one slow and grouchy step of the fox was equal with four short and jovial jumps in circular pattern.

Letting out a sharp exhale, Nick grabbed her shoulder and held her still.

"This is my last warning, Fluff." he declared with fierce tone, and to assert his point more, he clutched her shoulder tighter.

"Aaaand?" the whole effort unfortunately did not cause side effect the fox wanted, with Judy letting out a playful drawl.

"Don't even try." Nick dragged his paws away and went back to stroll the sideway, hoping to take an escape from the rabbit.

"Do I even care? No, no I don't."

Completely ignorant to the assertive admonition, the rabbit opened her arms wide and with a final jump hugged his tail. Nick glanced over his shoulder grimly as part of his body tried to trash and break away from the deadly embrace but to no avail.

The vulpine eventually gave up and slapped the bridge of his snout in defeat, exhaling so loud the bystanders across the road could've heard that.

"I may consider to bring rabbit repellant." he eventually murmured, pretending to be blind with various eyes staring at both of them.

Judy's ears twitched.

"Oh, you despise a clingy bunny?" she, with part of her face still covered with russet furs of his tail, airily replied as if there was nothing wrong with their display of antics.

Too bad, despise was a complete opposite of what occurred in his mind.

"Not the slightest." with another sigh, Nick surrendered and allowed Judy to do whatever she wanted. A small smile showed on his face despite briefly struggling internally.

The thing he began to both hate and like whenever he got along with the bunny had grown as the time flow ; honesty. The more Nick spent his time with Judy, the more he became honest to himself.

And the male decided to ignore his own protest, as the tail slipped and wrapped around his partner's hips, with gleeful restrained cry came out right after.

Being honest certainly didn't generate much negative effects.
