It was another day of work. At least that was what Nick thought. He sat on his desk, his legs on the table. His fluffy partner glared at him. Judy, the grey, always optimistic bunny was staring at Nick with that purple eyes, giving him the I'm-going-to-kill-you-if-you-don't-get-your-feet-off-the-table look. Nick took a glance at Judy and gave her a small and quick smirk.
"You know you love me," Nick said.
"I hate you," Judy sneered.
"I love you too," Nick joked. Before he knew it, Judy threw a pen right into his face.
"Ouch." Nick groaned, putting his feet down. Judy made a small victory smile and smirked.
"That'll teach you a lesson to never mess with your bunny." Judy warned, jokingly.
Suddenly, a low and thunderous voice was heard.
"WILDE! HOPPS! IN MY OFFICE NOW!"
"Chief buff buff is mad, let's go, carrots." Nick got his butt off his chair and shoulders hunched, walked towards Bogo's office. Judy just followed behind.
"Officers, there is a drug war going on in Eastwood lane 3, get your riot gear. A swat team will go with you." Bogo told them.
The duo looked at each other. They had never worn riot gears before, and only used real guns once during their training. They could tell this was serious. They got into their riot gear and jumped into the SWAT truck. Nick and Judy were both sweating. From heat, fear and also due to the weight of the riot gear. Judy had a MP5, a full auto submachine gun due to her size. Nick had a M4, a bigger assault rifle, full auto too. They had smoke, pepper and flash bang grenades.
"Alright team SWAT, move out!" A voice was heard from the doors of the truck. The commander was a wolf, named Martian. As they exited the truck, they could immediately smell, I mean smell, how bad the situation was. There were smoke everywhere, and there were screaming and gunshots heard everywhere.
"Judy," Nick said. Judy looked at him, seriously. Ever since their first date, Nick had always called her by nicknames such as "Fluff", "Cottontail" and the most famous "Carrots". Saying her name meant he was serious. "I just wanted to tell that I love you. I know this is not the time, but I'm afraid if something happens to either of us, now is the only chance..." Nick said with a shivering tone. Judy had never seen Nick like this before. "I love you too." was all she could say. Since they were in their helmets, they settled on a long hug.
"Move it!" Martian shouted as they started storming the area. "Try not to kill them, shoot them in the legs when possible. Then arrest them. But do it if you need to." Martian said, moving in. Judy and Nick's hearts were pounding.
"THE COPS ARE HERE!" One of the gang members shouted. In a split second, bullets were whizzing past them. They took down several gang members on one side. Many were wounded, and some were already lying on the ground in a pool blood, motionless. A gang was taken down, but the other gang was still opening fire. "Split up! Jackson and Andrew, go to the left! Kevin and Terrence, take the middle with me!" Martian shouted. "Nick and Judy, go to the right." They nodded and went to their separate ways.
As Nick and Judy were moving, a bullet whizzed past.
"Holy shit..." Nick swore under his breath as he took cover behind a wall. Judy reloaded. Suddenly, Judy heard one of the gang member in the open reloading. She took the opportunity and went out of cover. She shot the gangster in the head, as the blood squirted out of his head like a rotten tomato. She felt a shiver down her spine. She never killed someone so cold-blooded before. Suddenly, she could feel that something was wrong. Nick was screaming at her something that she couldn't make out. She tried to move her legs, and realised that she couldn't. Judy looked down and saw a bullet hole at her waist. The bullet penetrated through her kevlar. "Fuck..." she swore softly as she inspected the wound. Nick was crying and screaming for help. Judy felt her whole body go numb, and felt really tired. She felt light and closed her eyes. She muttered the words "I love you" before passing out. Nick on the other hand was begging her to stay awake. Seeing Judy's motionless body, he felt a feeling of dread. His felt a kind of energy that he never felt before. The inside of his body was painful. It was unbearable. He cried and cried, screaming for Judy to wake up. He got out of cover and shot down the remaining gangsters. He slouched beside Judy's limp body and applied pressure to her wound.
"Please don't leave me... Please..." Nick cried over his tears. He heard footsteps and it was the SWAT team with the paramedics. Nick tried to listen for a pulse. There was none. He felt hopeless. He was lost. The last thing he remember is screaming and kicking as Judy's body was carried to the ambulance. He passed out from exhaustion.
The next day, he found himself in a room. He got up and frantically looked for Judy. Nick realised he was in a hospital. He opened the door and entered a room with the sign "Judith Hopps". Inside, he could see Judy, sound asleep. He hoped that she was alive. He rushed to her side, and took care of her for the next 2 days when she was in a coma. He went out to buy things for her, praying that she was okay.
Judy remember falling down a endless fall, memories flushing back as she opened her eyes. She was Nick sitting on a chair beside her bed. Nick was asleep. It was 2pm.
"Nick..?"
Nick's head jerked up. He saw Judy awake and gave a her a hug. She felt warmth. She was back. She was happy that she was still here.
"You fell into a coma for 2 days, Judy." Nick said, giving her a solemn look. He was hurt internally and emotionally. Nick looked tired but happy at the same time.
"I'm sorry... I didn't stop you in time..." Nick said, on the verge of crying.
"Nick... It's my fault. I was a dumb enough to get out of cover to take down just one person." Judy was crying too. She knew that she had made Nick sad and uncomfortable.
Nick wiped his tears and took out a box. He let out a sigh.
"Judy. I know this is not the perfect time. But right now, we are alone. I just cannot imagine to lose you anymore." Nick said, biting his lip.
"When I say you motionless, I felt dread. I realised that I couldn't live without you. Judith Hopps..." He said, opening the box.
"Will you marry me?"
Judy's eyes turned wide. She was overjoyed and happy. She never expected this at all. Deep down, she was jumping for joy.
"Nicolas Wilde, yes I will!" Judy said, voice shaking. They leaned in for a long kiss, letting the bliss take over.
"I love you, my dumb fox"
"I love you too, my sly bunny." With that, they leaned in for another kiss.
