A/N: I just needed to post something so people know that this story is still relevant. :P

For as long as Judy could remember, Nick had almost always been a bit of a "wild card". Even after giving up the life of a con artist, he still maintained a crafty mind that made it hard to read. However, through working with him on-duty and living with him for the past couple of weeks, she seemed to have managed to understand his foxy nature.

Judy picked up that if a matter came up that Nick didn't want to discuss, he'd try to come with some witty comment or remark to, purposely, go off-topic. For example, a little while after he became the doe's partner, when Judy tried to talk to Nick about how his relationship with his mother was, he'd often say something to avoid the subject. It worked for a while, but it was only a while later that the doe started to catch on to his trickery.

And it hurt Judy that Nick would hide things from her.

"Come on Nick," Judy said bitterly, "I've been around you long enough to know if you're hiding something from me. I understand that it can make you feel uncomfortable talking about it, but I still don't like it that you're lying to me."

"Wait," Nick exclaimed, "I'm not lying to you I—"

"Are you sure about that?" she asked inquisitively.

"I... realize that sleeping with me is making you uncomfortable, although I can't help but feel like that there's something else to it. Is there?"

"*gulp* ... ok," Nick reluctantly said, "You got me." He starts tugging at the collar of his uniform. "There... is something else and... *sigh* it's because I lo—", Nick was saying before he was interrupted by another in-particular tod.

"—What's going on?" Tim curiously asked. "Are you guys fighting?"

The duo turned to the kitchen entrance to see Tim peeking his head around through the doorway.

"Hold on a minute," said Nick, "how long were you standing there for?"

Tim suddenly looked like he'd seen a ghost and stumbled over his words.

"I-I d-didn't to s-spy on you, I j-just got w-worried a-and-and—"

"Hey-hey-hey," Nick said gently as he raised his paws in reassurance, "I'm not mad. Okay? I just want to know what heard. That's all."

Tim stared at the older fox for a moment before answering.

"Uhh, I heard you guys yelling 'what was that', ...something about telling something to somebody, ...and then I couldn't hear what you were saying for a while that so ...I wanted to see what was happening."

Nick and Judy's ears fell back, realizing he could have heard everything from the living room since the beginning.

A/N: I realize this chapter is short but... I know I can finish this story, I just lack motivation. I don't know what happened. At the beginning, I would post a chapter every week, even though those chapters had a thousand words to them. Also, the Corona lime didn't kill me, so I'm still alive. I'm taking the same precautions as everybody else (even though I'm actually an introvert), so expect this story to continue.
