A/N:
Hi guys (and girls), happy new year! I hope everyone had a good Christmas.
Sorry the new chapter wasn't posted sooner, I kinda forgot about the deadline I set myself and so I didn't spend much of December writing, mainly because I had a bad case of writer's block over the holidays even though I'm only three chapters in. The main reason I've been neglecting my story is 'cause I've been focussing on my college work (sorry, it won't happen again ;)
A huge shout out to TimberPaw for agreeing to be my beta. He really helped pull this chapter together, so he should have just as much credit for this chapter as I do. Without his help there would've been a load of errors and a lot of sentences that don't make sense. So thank you again TimberPaw for all your help and becoming my beta.
I still don't own Zootopia, it all belongs to Disney (except for one or two characters I made up, they're mine).
5.4.17- Hi everyone, sorry I haven't posted in ages. I'm taking a hiatus. Sorry again, my course work is piling up so I'm focusing on that for now. I will try to publish a new chapter sooner but unfortunatly it will most likely be around June time that I next post something. I've read back through my older chapters recently, and have been thinking that after my hiatus I will focus on rewriting them and improving the with the help of my beta TimberPaw.
Chapter 3: What happened last night? Part 2
Nick's PoV:
As I opened my eyes for the second time that morning, the memory of earlier flashed through my mind. How did I end up in her bed? I wondered curiously, hoping it wouldn't affect our friendship.
I slowly picked my body up so I was sitting upright in the large chair. A deafening 'SNAP' echoed through the empty room as I stretched my aching back muscles. "That chair is lovely to sit in, but it's murdering my back." I mumbled quietly, careful not to wake Judy with my complaining.
All I was thinking about was how I woke up this morning. I can still remember the soft down-fur of her arms as she pulled herself into the warmth of my back. Thank the gods I didn't take my shirt off to sleep, or that would have been a hell of a lot more awkward. I told myself, letting out a sigh of relief.
I continued to think about what happened earlier and I found myself becoming obsessed with it, going over it in my mind again and again. In my mind's eye all I could see was Judy's sleeping form. Her facial expression was relaxed and peaceful and even without her usual smile she was graced with an air of natural beauty. She looked content, her expression soft as though she was reliving a pleasant memory. As I sat there watching her rest, the rise and fall of her small body with every calm steady breath, I was struck by realisation, I'm watching her sleep… that's about as creepy as it gets. I decided enough was enough, I need to get out of here… the boredom, peacefulness and quietness is driving me mad.
I lifted myself out of the chair as gently as I could so I wouldn't disturb her sleep. I was walking to the door when a new thought popped into my head. I wonder if they have a coffee machine around here. Slowly I opened the door a crack and slipped through before closing it softly behind myself, heading off in search of coffee.
Judy's PoV:
I woke up to the sound of my alarm, I wanted to stay in the habit of waking up on time, Gazelle's Try everything filled the room as I jerked to shut it off as quickly as I could. I sat myself up in the bed, eyes tightly shut as the bright sunlight burned them. I stretched out my shoulders, trying to get rid of the stiffness. I sat there, in a sleeper's trance, for what felt like a small eternity before I finally opened my eyes to the brilliance of the morning sun that streamed in through the large windows of my hospital room.
I leisurely looked around my room, drinking it all in as I looked for anything interesting or some sign of Nick. I couldn't remember whether he stayed the night or not, but as I looked around I couldn't find any evidence of him staying the night. Then again… I reminded myself, He only carries his phone and wallet with him. He could have got up before me and left…
"Ugh… it's too early… I still can't remember if he stayed or not." I exclaimed. Usually I can remember the smallest of details regardless of the time of day. "Ah ha!... If he did stay at my flat, he would have my keys…"
I rolled over to the left-paw side of my bed, to the chest of drawers that held all of my personal belongings and started to rummage through the few items inside. Throwing them on the bed as I went "…shirt, underwear… ah ha, keys!... oh, these are Dad's truck keys." I continued with my raid of the top drawer," …jeans. That's where they'd be…" I pulled said clothing from the chest and proceeded to frisk them, unable to feel the keys I searched the pockets and in the front right one under my purse I found my apartment keys. Then where's Nick? I asked myself, if he isn't here then where did he stay last night?
My musing was cut short when a certain red fox let himself into my room carrying two cups, "Nick!" The vulpine jumped a mile, he obviously had assumed that I was still sleeping. It's a good thing the cups had lids on otherwise the drinks would have gone everywhere when I surprised him. He turned to face me, with an expression that revealed to me a fear that he had been caught. I didn't have a clue what he may of done wrong, but I thought it was sweet of him to get me a cup of tea. He stood there for a moment, meditating over something, before he regained his coolness and finally broke the silence.
"Morning Carrots. I… um, brought you some tea from the vending machine down the hall." He said almost cautiously, as though he had done something wrong and this was his attempt at appeasing me. Did I do something last night to make him think I'm mad? I wondered absentmindedly, … or did he do something to upset me?
A few seconds did pass before I realised that I didn't say anything back, "Thank you, but how did you know I was up?" I asked as he sat my tea down on the drawers next to me and eased himself into the large armchair nearby, lounging in the large chair so much that he was practically laying down. He quickly bolted forward, hissing in discomfort as he went, so much so that he was sitting unsteadily at the edge of the chair. How he didn't spill over the ledge I don't know, Nick never struck me as someone with good balance. He scooted to the back of the chair, settling for a more upright sitting position this time, and was careful not to rest his back against anything.
I opened my mouth to ask him about it, but before I could utter a syllable he cut me off. "I heard your alarm when I was gettin' my coffee." He stated before blowing his coffee and sipping it lazily. A look of disapproval could be seen in his emerald eyes, giving a hint that the hospital coffee wasn't up to his standards.
"How did you know it was mine, and what have you done to your back?" I gave him a questioning stare, raising my left eyebrow and tipping my head ever so slightly to one side for effect. He better not of hurt his back by sleeping under that bridge after I offered for him to stay at mine, I'll make sure he regrets it if he did. I pondered.
He chuckled in response, giving me one of his signature half-lidded lazy smiles. "I'm fine." His green eyes sparkled brilliantly with joy. He's still not used to someone being kind to him? I asked myself. "And to answer your first question; we're in a hospital, so you're probably the only mammal that would set an alarm when they're meant to be resting. That and the fact that it was Gazelle, and I know you're mad on her."
I could feel my ears heat up as I blushed in embarrassment, I just prayed that Nick wouldn't notice. "Thanks for the tea." Was all I could reply with; my mind was still too foggy from my sleep to come up with a clever remark. "I didn't think I had set it that loud."
"That's okay I was already there so I don't mind getting you a cup of tea, and don't worry your alarm isn't that loud." He answered. "It just echoes through the hall making it sound louder."
"I hope I didn't wake anyone." I was starting to feel guilty, worrying that I woke the whole hospital up.
"I don't know, I did hear a couple of nurses humming and one or two dancing along though."His face split into a grin, "And I'm pretty sure I heard a few of the doctors sing along, the bloody song is still stuck in my head 'cause of you." He said giving me a mock glare, or at least it better be a fake one.
My paws went to my face, covering my mouth as I tried to stifle my giggles. I could imagine the doctors singing and dancing to my alarm with the day staff, and the nurses doing the tiger dance as they went between patient's rooms pushing the trolleys that held everyone's breakfast.
Knock, knock…
The nurse from the other day, the male otter called Vince if I remember right, opened the door pushing the food trolley in. I could have sworn he was humming 'Try everything', I'll have to check with Nick later if I heard right.
"Good morning," Called the cheerful mammal, "I've brought you your breakfast, it's still warm unlike the other day."
"Thank you, it smells delicious." I told him, my stomach growling in appreciation as he sat the tray down on my lap. Nick burst out laughing at just how loud my stomach was, and Vince (I checked his I.D.) just stood there for a minute dumbfounded. I could feel my ears burning, I imagine I could have given a fire engine a run for its money with how red I blushed. Vince just turned and silently pushed his trolley out of my room. I silently thanked the gods that there were other patients waiting for their breakfast, and not a moment too soon if you ask me.
"Niiick?" I asked as sweetly as possible, flashing him an innocent smile and big pleading eyes to boot.
Said fox rolled his eyes at me, a mischievous grin still on his muzzle. "Ugh..." He said with mock disgust, "…if you get any sweeter you'll give me cavities, what do you want?" He whined.
"If you tell anyone or make fun of what just happened… I assure you no one will find your body." I declared in a calm even tone, smiling evilly at him as I thought of where to stick him. "Did I make myself clear?"
He got the message.
His smile was gone in a blink of the eye, mouth tightly shut as he quickly nodded his head.
"Good." I exclaimed cheerfully, changing back to my usual happy self, smiling as though all is well and I didn't just threaten Nick's life.
Nick's PoV:
After a breakfast of porridge with blueberries, cranberries and pretty much every berry you can think of, Judy had a satisfied look on her face. It did smell nice. As for me? I hear you ask. All I got was another coffee, after her little rant I didn't want to risk pinching any of her breakfast and so I decided it would be the best to get something later. You didn't hear that from me, but Judy Hopps can be quite intimidating when she wants to be.
I didn't have a clue when I would actually get something to eat, I know better than to expect anything. I'll most likely spend the day here and only get something around noon. I smiled to myself, this is what it's been like the whole time she's been in here. Not that I mind hanging out with her for the day… and spending the night with her! The annoying part of my brain jeered. What was all that about? I wondered with a slight frown, I wish my mind would stop with the constant teasing.
After Judy had finished her cup of tea she broke the comfortable silence that had enveloped around us for the last few minutes. She asked what I had been waiting for and dreading at the same time, what happened last night? Though she didn't actually phrase it like that, what she really asked was, "You stayed here last night, didn't you?"
I held my breath, I knew she'd ask something along those lines but I couldn't think of what to say 'cause my memory of last night was still unclear, I know I stayed all night and it had been eventful but I still couldn't remember the exact details. So all I could reply to her with was, "Yeah I stayed here last night…" She moved her wrist in circular motion, index and middle fingers held out in a 'go on' gesture. "…I slept in the chair." After I fell out of your bed, I thought.
"That must of been uncomfortable." I could tell she was concerned that I had a bad night's sleep.
"Nah, it wasn't that bad," I lied, I wish I didn't because it felt wrong, I was betraying her trust, but what was I supposed to say, 'don't worry I slept in your bed with you, but can't remember what happened.' No thank you, I may be a dumb fox for lying to her (and I'd get a beating if she ever found out that I lied to her) but it's better than being a dead fox, if she didn't kill me for it I would most likely die of awkwardness. I felt my face heat up in embarrassment, I hadn't meant to say what I did next. "I slept like a cub, it was the best night's sleep I've had for a while." Or probably ever, my mind teased again. I decided it would be better to ignore it and afterwards start beating the voice in my head. A stunt like that would earn me a one-way trip to the looney bin.
"Are you okay, Nick? Your ears have gone red." The bunny was right, I felt the inside of my ear and they had gone hot all of a sudden.
"I'm alright," My throat felt tight, what is wrong with me? "It's just warm in here, that is all." Don't look at me like that. It wasn't a lie; it did feel a little bit warm. Or it might just be me, I'm not sure.
Judy looked at me skeptically, but she didn't voice her thoughts and instead chose to stay quiet. After a few tense minutes it was the bunny who broke the silence. She did decide to continue with our earlier conversation about me staying here last night. She stated to me in a slow voice, as though considering mid-sentence on how to go about this without sounding like a fool, "For some reason I can't remember exactly what we got up to after you decided to stay…"
"I can't remember much either…"
"Do you think…" We both started at the same time, I could feel my ears warm again in mild embarrassment, and when I looked at Judy, hers looked as if they were tinged a light pink as well. The silence from before filled the air once again, this time though I decided to break the ice. "Do you want to talk through what we remember… see if it will jog our memories?" I asked her, trying not to cringe at how stupid it sounded. She nodded her head so I decided I would start us off.
"Well… being the ever generous and considerate little bunny that you are, you offered to let me stay at your apartment 'cause you were worried about me hurting my friendship with Finn."
Judy just rolled her deep purple eyes at me, obviously not impressed with my description of her.
"I know about that, it was my idea after all. I also remember you turning down my offer and saying you'd stay here, and that I wasn't allowed to let anyone know…"
Flashback:
Third person:
"You are not allowed to tell anyone or behave in a way that will get me found out. Think of this as a game of hide and seek." Said the ever mischievous Nick Wilde, flashing his signature smirk at a more than slightly irritated Judy Hopps.
"Fine." The bunny officer knew when she was outfoxed and admitting defeat, agreed to the terms set by the vulpine.
With that over and done with the pair settled themselves in for a long night full of mischief, close calls and games that will change things to come.
Judy, being the hyperactive never resting bunny she is, was the first to talk. She wanted to ask Nick something that had been on her mind since Doctor Whitpaw informed her that she should be able to leave earlier than expected, "Nick?"
"Umm hmm…" Was all the red furred mammal could manage. He had set himself down after his victory and was currently slouched in the large armchair, his eyes shut appearing to be dozing off.
"What are we going to do once I'm out of the hospital? I never realised it before, but with everything that's been going on we haven't had the chance to just hang out."
Nick opened his eyes and turned to face the officer, a look of realisation on his face. "You're right. With my conscription into the ZPD and the tight timescale set by chief buffalo-butt we never had much time to become friends, it just sort of fell into place."
The smaller mammal turned to the other, a smile set firmly on her face. "Yeah, but I wouldn't change a thing. Becoming friends with you was the best thing to happen to me since joining the force." She told him, her voice chocked full of heartfelt emotion.
The male was touched, never before had anyone cared so much about their companionship with him. Not even Finnick, who had been his oldest and closest friend for what seemed their entire lives, cared for him as deeply as this emotional little bunny did. "Well I am pretty amazing, who doesn't love me?" He stated with mock arrogance.
The rabbit snorted with laughter. "I think there's quite a few mammals out there that would have to disagree." She looks cute when she snorts like that, Nick thought to himself.
"Yeah, I expect there are. But don't worry once you're out of here we'll be able to hang out every day, eh roomie?" He said with one of the most genuine smiles he's worn in years.
"I can't wait." She retorted with fake sarcastim, rolling her amethyst eyes to add to the effect.
"You know you love me." Nick sang sweetly.
"Do I know that… Yes, yes I do." Judy said after a minutes thought.
The lagomorph's right ear pricked up, unlike thousands of years ago it wasn't to the noise of an approaching predator but instead something much more nerve-racking; the sound of one of the nurses making their round.
Nick noticed Judy's sudden movement and reacted almost as fast, "Is it a nurse?" He whispered, he was so quiet he was almost inaudible if not for Judy's phenomenal hearing.
She just nodded back, but mouthed the word bathroom to him. Not needing to be told twice Nick rushed to the smallest room as quickly as he could while being as quiet as possible. And not a moment too soon, just in the nick of time he shut the door softly behind himself as the nurse walked in.
As for Judy she had the quick thinking to grab her phone and open it up to her Furbook app.
"Sorry about the noise, one of my friends sent me a link and I forgot to turn my phone down before I opened it." She quickly lied, holding her phone up as though to prove her point.
"Try and keep it quiet, some mammals are trying to rest. I think you should do the same, it's late and I don't want you to wake them up." Said the aging nurse grouchily. I think it's safe to say she's the grumpy old duty nurse on tonight, thought Nick with his left ear against the bathroom door.
"Sorry!" Judy squeaked timidly, she quickly glanced at the wall clock it was almost 21:00. We haven't been talking that long, have we? "I lost track of time, I didn't realise it was this late."
I though the Chief was bad tempered, this nurse could give him a run for his money. She said to herself.
"Just keep it down, okay?" She asked, but to anyone who heard it would've sounded more like an order. Judy quickly nodded her head and the nurse left, shutting the door behind herself.
Nick came out of the bathroom, tried and failed not to laugh at the expression on Judy's face. Most noticeable was the fact that both her ears were fully erect, but instead of showing her excitement like it usually did it showed how unsettled she was. The closest thing it can be compared to is when someone's fur stands on end in fear.
Next to catch the attention of any onlooker would be her eyes, they were wide in what one could only assume to be surprise or fear. Her mouth hang open as though her jaw had forgotten what to do and instead had decided to try and catch insects.
She hadn't realised it at the time, but the opportunity had been too tempting to Nick that he quickly snapped a photo remembering to save it for a later date. "That went well." He teased, smirking knowing it would drive her crazy.
The small rabbit just stared daggers at him, "How can you think that went well?"
"You managed to come up with an excuse and I didn't get caught, I think that means it went well."
"I had to lie to stop you from getting in trouble, all because you wouldn't stay at mine for one night."
"Oh well. When do you want to go to sleep?" He asked. "I know it's nearly your bedtime but you don't seem tired."
"Humph! I do not have a bedtime! I just don't see the appeal of staying up all night doing nothing."
"Ah… so if you were doing something, like havin' a laugh with a friend, would you stay up though?"
"Maybe, depends on how annoying this friend is."
"Not very." Nick said to Judy with a playful pout. "He is annoying but in a loveable way."
"Are you sure?" Judy dragged out teasingly.
The fox just turned his back, crossed his arms and "humphed" in response sounding like a cub having a strop. He got the reaction he wanted. The bunny could be seen giggling, her hands over her mouth in an attempt to muffle the sound and hopefully go unnoticed by the moody night nurse.
"Nick?"
"Yes, Carrots?"
"I know I'm going to regret this, but what do you mean by 'having a laugh'?"
"I'm glad you asked." He smiled, and then put on his best falsetto act. "I thought we could give each other makeovers, swap juicy goss, talk about boys, and braid our fur."
Judy caught on immediately and replied. "I'm glad you suggested it. I wanted to but wasn't sure if you were up for it. There's this guy at work and he really fancies what's-his-face, but what's-his-face fancies…"
"Please! No more, I was joking. I don't care about what's-his-face's love life."
"But you are still up for makeovers and braiding, right?"
The fox smiled playfully. "Maybe later, what I was thinking was that we should play that most cliché of sleepover games; Truth or Dare." All he got was an exasperated sigh, followed by "really". "Yes, really. How else are we meant to learn more about our roommates to be?"
"But truth or dare?" Judy whined.
"We don't have to if you don't want, but I thought it could be fun."
The female rabbit sighed, "Fine then." Even though in her mind she thought it might be fun.
The male fox did a mock bow, and tried to sound like a true gentle-mammal. "Ladies first."
An eye roll later the game began. "Okay Nick, truth or dare?"
"Dare." The vulpine said without a trace of fear or unease.
"I dare you to… do your best president impression…"
"That is weak, can't you think of anything better" The red fox interrupted.
"…While I film you." Judy finished, getting her phone into the camera app.
"But I'll look like an idiot." Nick whined childishly.
"So... no different to usual then." The smaller mammal teased.
"You better not put this on furbook." He grumbled. "I can't promise anything" was the reply.
"Four score and seven years ago… I wore a funny hat." Spoke the predator, doing his best Abe Lincoln impression. (I found the rubbish dare online but I had to include the reference, shout out if you get it).
Judy couldn't help but laugh at his impression. "I love that program too." She told him.
"Right, your turn Carrots." Nick said, smiling devilishly. "Truth or dare?"
"T-t-truth?" The officer asked timidly.
Nick felt bad for worrying her and thought he'd be merciful, for now. "What was your embarrassing childhood nickname?"
"Judethedude." She mumbled quickly.
"Sorry, what was that?" Nick asked teasingly.
"Jude-The-Dude!" She declared crossly through gritted teeth, if looks could kill Nick would be dead and gone twice over.
"Jude the dude!" Nick cried with glee. "I need to remember that one."
"Now it's your turn, what's it goin' to be?" Judy asked with a dangerous edge to her voice.
"Ya know… I think I'm going to play it safe, truth?" the fox was a nervous wreck, what was this cute innocent bunny going to ask him?
"Does your Mum have an embarrassing photo of you, and if you do what is it?"
"To answer your first question; yes. As for your second, I was 13 or 14 and my school was having red nose day. For a laugh and to try and raise some money I wore a red skirt for the day. I walked to and from school in that dress, and my Mum got a photo of me in it before I left for school."
"Did… did you raise much money?" Judy asked between giggles, the image of Nick in a red skirt with his fluffy tail hanging between his legs in embarrassment was too much for her.
"No, no I didn't. I got a few dollars off my mates and lost the respect of most of the school, but looking back on it it was funny." He smiled, like it was actually a fond memory of happy times. "Your turn."
"Dare." She chose, with seemingly no fear of what the fox would make her do.
"This is goin' to be good." He told her with a smirk. "I dare you…to sing your favourite song and let me record and post it on furbook."
"Do I have to," Nick nodded. "Can I just sing and not be filmed?"
"Okay, I let you off this time."
"After can I choose a different game?"
"Sure."
Judy starts to sing Gazelle's 'Try everything'. She starts out quietly and self-conscious what with Nick watching her.
I messed up tonight, I lost another fight
I still mess up but I'll just start again
I keep falling down, I keep on hitting the ground
I always get up now to see what's next
Even though she was singing quietly Nick was amazed at how well she could sing, in his eyes she could rival the artist who wrote the song. Aww, the voice at the back of his mind cooed annoyingly, isn't that sweet he thinks she has a beautiful voice.
'You've been quiet all night; can't you just bugger off for a bit longer?' he asked the voice. Nope, replied his mind popping the 'P'.
Birds don't just fly, they fall down and get up
Nobody learns without getting it wrong
I won't give up, no I won't give in
'Til I reach the end and then I'll start again
No, I won't leave, I wanna try everything
I wanna try even though I could fail
I won't give up, no I won't give in
'Til I reach the end and then I'll start again
No, I won't leave, I wanna try everything
I wanna try even though I could fail
By now Judy was getting into it and started to be more daring, she sang lauder putting more emotion in her voice to help express the lyrics.
She didn't notice and probably didn't care that her voice was being carried down the hallway to the nurse's' office, if Nick had known he wouldn't of just sat there as Judy got the attention of the miserable nurse on that night.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Try everything
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Try everything
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Try everything
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Look how far you've come, you filled your heart with love
Baby, you've done enough, take a deep breath
Don't beat yourself up, don't need to run so fast
Sometimes we come last, but we did our best
Nick couldn't help but be moved by what she just sang, it felt like it was directed to him personally when she sang those lines. Like she was telling him it was going to be okay, that he didn't need to worry because everything will work out in the end.
I won't give up, no I won't give in
'Til I reach the end and then I'll start again
No, I won't leave, I wanna try everything
I wanna try even though I could fail
I won't give up, no I won't give in
'Til I reach the end and then I'll start again
No, I won't leave, I wanna try everything
I wanna try even though I could fail
I'll keep on making those new mistakes
I'll keep on making them every day
Those new mistakes
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Try everything
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Try everything
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Try everything
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Try everything
Little did the pair know the nurse had heard Judy's singing and walked to the room where the two were sat. The nurse was stood in the doorway, in plain sight but still neither Nick or Judy had noticed her until she spoke, "That was lovely and all, but you," she said pointing at Judy, "are supposed to be resting and not waking the other patients. And you aren't even supposed to be here, visiting hours' end at 7 pm, it is almost midnight." She said to Nick.
In all situations there are at least two options, in this case those were; get kicked out, or leg it!
Now that Nick is trying become a police officer you would think he would accept the offer to stay at Judy's flat for the night like as the rules of their deal stated, but instead of being a male of his word he decided to peg it.
Nick didn't get a chance to compliment her on the performance she just gave, he had to bolt past the aging hippo and avoid being kicked out. Nick may have gotten out of the room but now he needs to escape from the old nurse and the two security guards who are both past their prime, he really has his work cut out for him tonight.
(A/N: sorry but this going to sound rushed because I didn't want to spend too long talking about it.)
Nick had just made it out of Judy's room and was racing down the halls as fast as he possibly could without waking the entire hospital up, the fox had decided he would run and try and lose the mismatched gang of mammals pursuing him; an ageing hippo, a middle-aged hyena and the other guard a close to retirement zebra who had more grey on him than he did stripes.
Nick headed for one of the exits, he was hoping to get the trio to chase him as far as there, run around to the entrance and go back to Judy's room. He had a plan for if he got caught too, if they found him he was on his way to get Judy's apartment keys.
His plan was a success, it went off without a hitch, and after twenty long minutes apart (he had to walk quietly back to her room) the two were reunited. And both were exhausted. Judy for staying up past her bedtime, and Nick for running around the hospital for the past half hour.
Judy was just starting to settle in bed when Nick walked in, quickly shutting the door behind him. Judy was the first to react. "What are you doing here? You just got chased out by the security guards, you're lucky you haven't been arrested." She hissed at him.
"Nice to see you too Carrots." He said stifling back a yawn.
"I think I'm ready to call it a night." Judy told Nick, the male nodded his head in agreement too tired to do anything else, as he set himself down on the chair and tried to get comfortable.
Judy had already got herself into her usual sleeping position and was ready to sleep, unfortunately for her every time she was just about to nod off Nick would fidget or move in some way and would bring her back from the brink of sleep.
This carried on for what felt like hours to the pair but was in reality only a few minutes, before the rabbit had had enough of it. "That is it! You have two choices, Nick… walk to my apartment and sleep there or you can share my bed, either way stop wriggling its keeping me up."
"I'm too tired to walk that far, you sure it's okay for me to share with you?"
"Yes, just stop moving so much." She snapped.
And with that the rabbit scooted over as the fox climbed in, and they both settled in for one of the best night's sleep either of them could remember.
A/N:
I am sorry to say, I have no idea when the next post will be.
My teacher has decided to up my workload and on top of that I've recently got a Saturday job so the only chance I get to write now is on a Sunday and in the evening (and even then I work some evenings).
So I can't make a prediction for the next upload, my goal will be to have it written by the end of February at least. Whether I will stick to this goal… I haven't a clue but I doubt it. Sorry.
If you have any feedback for me please review or PM me (eithers fine), especially if you didn't like this chapter so then I can improve on the next one.
Thanks again for reading, I hope you enjoyed the third chapter to A Wilde love and I'll try to be quicker with the next one so keep your eyes peeled.
