THE PERFECT NIGHT
(First of all, I want to apologize for the delay, I always try to upload every Sunday/Monday, but I had a lot of exams this weeks and it was hard for me to find the time to write, anyways, I'm back now, so...enjoy the chapter!)
It was very late at night and only the streetlights illuminated the streets of Zootopia. Probably every mammal was already at their cozy homes, warm and safe but Nick and Judy hadn't even returned home from work. A very difficult case had them working all day so they were very tired and the worst thing was that it was raining. The fox had to carry the bunny in his arms through the rainy sidewalks, trying to keep her dry before arriving to her little apartment. Judy lazily opened her eyes due the stair light as Nick walked up her door.
"C'mon, Carrots...get down" whispered Nick when he stood in front of the bunny's apartment's door.
Judy wiggled in his arms before her feet could touch the floor, then she rummaged in her pocket and got they keys out.
*CLACK*
The door opened and the bunny stepped in her apartment before turning around to Nick. She raised her gaze to see the soaked fox warmly smiling at her.
"Wait a sec...I'm gonna get a towel" the bunny quickly walked into her bathroom, returned with a white soft towel and handle it to the fox.
Nick slightly dried his fur with the towel while Judy stared at him.
"I'm sorry, Nick" she apologized for something related to the case.
(They ran some risks because of her imprudence, so the fox was a little frightened and worried)
"Aw, Fluff..." the fox noticed her tearful eyes "...you don't have to ask for forgiveness" he knelt and held her paws.
The bunny couldn't barely speak as tears began to ran down her cheeks, so she took a few steps towards to the fox and rested her head on his chest. Nick dropped the towel and corresponded her lazy hug.
"There, there, Carrots...it's okey" he softly patted her head.
After a few seconds of sobbing and hugging, they separated and looked at their weeping eyes while kept holding each other's paws.
"But don't scare me like that again..." Nick tried to said with a serious tone before breaking down to tears again "...I don't know what I would do without you" they both got into a hug that warmed their hearts.
Then they separated again, the fox picked the towel up and gave it to Judy, who started playing with it as she kept her gaze down to hide her slightly blushed cheeks.
"Well...I think I should leave, the storm will probably get worse" Nick took a look through his partner's window.
"Wait!..." she caught Nick's attention by resting her paw on his arm "...aren't you gonna go out like this, are you?" she asked with her cute face and her dropped ears.
"What?" he raised his eyebrow.
"Here, take this umbrella..." she handled it to the fox "...I don't want you to get sick"
"Mmm...how kind of you..." Nick took the umbrella and knelt again before smoothly running his paw through Judy's cheek and softly dragging her so their lips collide in a sweet and short kiss that tensed the bunny's ears "...Goodnight, Officer" smirked the fox before walking out of the building with the umbrella on his shoulder, leaving the flustered and speechless bunny there.
A few seconds later Judy was able to react and close the door as quickly as she could before leaning her back on the other side and sitting down. The bunny tried to calm her heartbeats down when she noticed the towel in her paw, Judy took a deep breath before standing up and unconsciously sniffing the towel. Her nose twitched as the fox's scent filled it, letting a relaxing sensation took over her sleepy and tired body. She lazily took her clothes off and got into bed while taking some more sniffs of the towel until the soft bedsheets made her fall asleep.
THE NEXT DAY
Her blanket and bedsheets kept the bunny asleep as she lost her self on her own thoughts and dreams. The scent that was left from the towel made her remember that kiss, that short fox's kiss which made her want to drag Nick into her apartment, close the door and pouncing on top of him before...
*BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP*
"Ngh..." growled Judy before smashing her alarm clock "...ahhhh" yawned the bunny before slowly getting out of bed and wrapping her blanket around her to remain warm.
Judy walked to the bathroom while rubbing her eyes, as soon as she let the hot water flow the bunny dropped the blanket and took off her last garment before hopping in the shower. Her blood started pumping while her fur curled because of the steam that filled the room, then she began to lather her grey and wet fur. Once she was done, Judy cleared the foam out, but the hot feeling of the steam and her paws running around her body made her wonder how would it be to take a shower with the fox. The bunny couldn't avoid imagining Nick's arms surrounding her waist and his slightly wet muzzle softly kissing her neck. After a few more seconds of fantasies, Judy sighed and got back to reality. She stopped the water and grabbed another towel before stepping out of the shower and drying her fur.
5 MINUTES LATER...
The bunny got out of the bathroom with the towel wrapped around her chest, she sat on the bed and began to dress up with the clothes that were on the floor.
*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*
Judy raised one of her ears and stood up.
"Carrots, you there?" Nick's voice made her ears twitch.
"Nick..." the bunny opened the door just a little.
"Morning, sweetheart" smiled Nick as he saw Judy's purple eyes peaking through the door.
"Wh-what are you doing here?" she opened the door completely.
"Well...I thought you would be hungry, so I brought some breakfast" he showed her a box.
"That's so nice of you" she let the fox in.
Nick left the box on the bunny's bed and sat down while having a look at Judy bending down to pick her clothes up. His tailed wiggled around while she putted her shirt and protections on.
"Cute...as always" commented the fox.
"I've told you to not call me cute" the bunny turned around.
"Mmm...whatever..." he crossed his arms "...sexy bun" whispered Nick, making her cheeks blush.
Judy just stared at the fox's sly smirk before finishing getting ready.
"Can we go now?" she said while getting her keys in her back pocket.
"Of course" Nick grabbed the box and walked past the bunny before she closed her apartment's door.
They walked out of the building and got into the fox's car. He started driving as Judy had a couple of donuts from the box. Finally, they arrived to the ZPD's parking lot, got out of the car and walked in the station. After greeting Clawhauser, the two officers headed for the mission room.
A COUPLE OF MINUTES LATER...
"Paperwork...great" said the bunny with an ironic tone of voice.
"Look on the bright side, sweetheart..." the fox gently massaged her shoulders "...at least isn't parking duty"
"Shut up" growled Judy.
"C'mon, let's get a coffee..." Nick tried to cheer her up.
They had a drink before spending most of their day in the office, writing reports, attending calls and hoping that the hours pass. From time to time, the fox would walk up to the water machine just to see what his partner was doing. On the lunch break they both went to the cafeteria, Nick had some food prepared, but with the rush, Judy forgot to bring anything, so she bought a sandwich on the vending machine before sitting with the fox. After eating, they got back to work again and after a few more hours they finally got out of that damn office.
"You have plans for tonight?" Nick's paw surrounded the bunny's waist.
"Hmm?..." her ears leaned back as his snot nuzzled the top of her head "...n-no"
"Then why don't you come to have dinner tonight?" his paw held her chin while his eyes charmed her.
"D-dinner?..." her voice shivered "...sure" she looked away and blushed.
"It's fine at 9?"
"At your house?" her shy purple gaze stared at her.
The fox just smiled before winking and walking out of the reception with his wiggly tail. Judy just stood there for a few seconds, flustered and with droppy ears.
"Date night, huh?" whispered Clawhauser behind her.
"Sh-shut up, Ben!" said the bunny before leaving the station.
Nick went back to his apartment and started preparing the night, he lit some candles, slightly decorated the table with a romantic touch and made dinner. Helped by a cookbook, the fox prepared two plates of pasta with some homemade sauce. Then he got a bottle of wine that he was reserving for a special occasion.
Meanwhile, Judy arrived to his little apartment and took a quick shower, before dressing up she decided to bake a little portion of blueberry for the fox, the bunny spent more than half an hour decided what to put on when the oven 'dinged', she got the cake out and let it cool while she dressed up. Once ready, she grabbed a little purse and set off to Nick's apartment. Judy walked up the bus station and catch one that left her a few steps away from his partner's street, then she got into the building and walked to the fox's door and taking a deep breath before knocking.
Nick's ears tensed when he heard the few knocks, so he left what he was doing to open the door. His jaw almost dropped when he saw the bunny, wearing a white off shoulder sweater that highlighted her purple eyes.
"You look stunning" warmly smiled the fox.
"Thanks..." she caressed one of her ears and slightly blushed "...you're great too" the bunny noticed his blue shirt.
The fox stepped aside so Judy could get in, she was speechless when she saw the decoration of his apartment.
"So?" asked Nick as his paws hugged her.
But the bunny didn't answer, she just smoothly turned around and dragged the neck of the fox's shirt to apply him a little kiss on the snout.
"It's perfect" whispered Judy before turning around and taking a walk around Nick's apartment.
"G-glad you like it" he got into the kitchen to finish up the last details.
The bunny sat on the comfortable couch a few seconds before the fox joined and offer her a glass of wine.
"Hmm...what did you bring there?" Nick noticed a little bag that Judy brought with her.
"Oh..." could say Judy after her first sip of drink "...a little surprise for you"
"Really?" the fox leaned towards her and tried to snatch the bag.
"Yep..." the bunny dodged him "...but it's for after dinner" she retained Nick with her feet.
"Ngh...okay" he growled before getting up and walking again to the kitchen.
Judy followed him and observed all the food the fox had prepared, apart from the pasta, Nick cut a few carrot sticks and made a salad.
"Hungry, huh?" said the fox while tidying the kitchen up.
"Mmm-hm..." nodded the bunny "...this looks delicious"
"It's not the only appetizing thing in this room" smirked Nick and made her slightly blush.
The fox carried the plates to the table, which was decorated with a checkered red tablecloth and a few glasses with candles inside them. After Judy sat on a pillow that was on the chair, Nick lowered the lighting and sat in front of her. The couple enjoyed a delectable dinner while sharing a few glances with their dreamy eyes.
"Mmm...it was incredible, Nick..." said the bunny after taking the last bite of her food "...I didn't know you were such good cook"
"My mother and I would spent all evening in the kitchen when I was just a cub...cooking helps me to relax" said the fox while letting out a heart-warming smile.
"Ow..." Judy couldn't avoid smiling either "...oh!...stay here..." she went to the kitchen "...close your eyes..." said the bunny before walking back to the table and putting a plate in front of Nick "...okey, you can open them now"
The fox saw the plate with a great-looking piece of blueberry cake, decorated with a few more berries and a little bit of syrup.
"Carrots...you shouldn't have" he hardly looked away from the dessert.
"I thought you'd like it...now I'll be waiting in the-" she tried to walk away but the fox caught her.
"Oh no, no way I'm eating this by myself" he got two fork after sitting the bunny on his lap.
"O-okey...I'll guess we share it them" they both started eating the cake.
"Mmm..." Nick's ears leaned back with the first bite "...this is great" he rested his chin on the top of Judy's head.
The couple kept sharing the sweet cake, cuddled on the chair until a little bit of that dessert fell on the bunny's head.
"*gasp*...I'm so sorry, Carrots..." he quickly apologized "...let me just" the fox gently licked the stain out of her fur.
"Ngh..." the bunny enjoyed how the fox's tongue cleaned her "...I-I think this is enough" said Judy with a weak tone of voice a few seconds later.
"Really?...cause I'm not too sure" he gave a few more licks before softly kissing her between those fluffy ears.
"You could've just use a napkin, you know?" whispered the bunny while feeling Nick's heartbeats on her back.
"Where's the fun in that?..." the fox embraced Judy and nuzzled her grey cheeks "...go sit on the couch, I'll be with you right away" said Nick before releasing her and walking to the kitchen one more time.
The blushed bunny sat on the sofa and looked at her fox's backside over it. He grabbed a big bowl and a box from the cupboard before putting it into the microwave, after a few minutes a smell of popcorn filled his apartment. Nick walked back to the couch with a bowl of popcorn.
"Up for a movie night?..." smiled the fox "...I'll let you pick the movie"
"Okey" answered Judy, hiding her excitement.
"Here, I'm gonna get some drinks" Nick handled her a box full of movies.
Some seconds later he came back with a pair of glasses of wine.
"Have you picked?" asked the fox as he sat next to Judy and offer her a drink.
"Yep" she choose one with a wolf that had her eyes covered with a bandage in the cover.
"Julia's Eyes, good choice" Nick turned the TV on and played the movie.
The bunny was sitting cross-legged while the bluish light of the screen illuminated them. In between salty popcorns and sips of wine the couple would get closer and closer, until Judy grabbed Nick's tail and started fondling it, the fox answered by dragging the bunny by her waist and pressing her against his chest. After a few minutes of enjoying the soft sensation of Nick's tail and heartbeats, Judy started sniffing the fox's fur. He caressed one of her cheeks and gently laid her on his lap, smoothly ran his paws through her body until they started massaging the bunny's ears, making her cutely stir. Nick menacingly licked his chops before nuzzling her forehead, Judy bit her lips when the fox began to gently lick her fur, she really enjoyed how her fox's snout played with her as his paws held her tight. They both looked at each other one more time before the bunny could wrap her paws around Nick's neck and joining their muzzles in a pleasant kiss that left them out of breath.
The fox fell back on the couch, panting, while Judy crawled on top of him and started smooching his neck.
"Nick..." whispered the bunny between kiss and kiss.
"I love you too, Carrots" Nick squeezed her cheeks and passionately kissed her, leaning her ears back.
Judy's heart melted with the words of the fox, as soon as their muzzles separated she desperately tried to take her sweater off before Nick stopped her.
"There's no need to rush, Fluff" he held her paws before softly kissing her twitching nose and making her fall back to the couch.
The fox kept playing with her ears and smooching the bunny's neck as she tried to hug Nick's neck. After the fox's snout went up to her muzzle, they both kissed one more time before the predator lifted her up and slowly started walking towards his bedroom as Judy began to undo the buttons of his shirt.
Nick closed the bedroom's door with his foot, then he gently laid the bunny on his bed and began to crawl towards her until she had no escape, then the fox slowly approached his prey and began to apply little bites on her neck, accompanied by some more smooches. Judy felt like in heaven, the fox ran his paws down her waist before smoothly taking her sweater off.
"You're beautiful, Judy" whispered the fox before kissing one of her cheeks.
"Mmm..." panted the bunny as she tried to take Nick's shirt off.
When she finally did it, they both joined their snouts in another wet kiss that made them stir on the bed.
"Judy..." gasped the fox when he felt the bunny's feet trying to take his pants too "...I-I think we're going a little bit fast" he sat down in front of Judy.
"Hmm?" she crawled to him.
"I feel like we have a lot more time to do this, also we're both drunk and...I don't want our first time to be like this..." Nick opened his heart as he tried to hide his blush.
"Aw...Nicky..." the bunny hugged him.
"You don't mind, right?" the fox caressed the top of her head.
"Of course not...how would I know foxes were so...emotional?..." they both separated and shared a sweet cute kiss before falling on the bed.
Judy gently slipped out of her pants and threw them across the room before letting Nick enjoy a good look of her.
"Sly Bunny..." his green eyes tried to stare at hers as he took his pant off too.
The couple melted his lips in a passionate kiss as they both felt each other's fur and filled their muzzles with their scents. Judy took cover on the fox's chest, fondling her fur with his, while Nick just snuggled with her and gave the bunny a few more kisses.
"*yawn*" the fox got even more comfortable with Judy in his arms.
"Goodnight, my Sleepy Fox" the bunny smooched his neck one last time before falling asleep too.
