Chapter 16
A/N- Hello all! Hope you all had a great New Year and Christmas! Mine sure was! In this chapter, it's the day after the Zootopia New Year Festival and Nick gets a call from the chief. Hope you enjoy the chapter!
Nick and Judy had a great time at the New Years Festival, they had the time of their lives. They had no problems with each other and they both got equal chances of what they wanted to do. I know! What would you expect with these two bundles of joy? Well, like any other animal, they were tired as all hell that night. So tired that Judy insisted to come back to Nick's apartment that night. They both chortled, giggled and chatted about their troubles over dinner that night. I know. It may seem late to have dinner at one in the morning, but that did not stop the sly fox. He whipped up some vegetable soup for his bunny and a piping hot plate of steak for himself. Nick and Judy enjoyed their time together, but Judy was curious how his cooking was like. She could not make the most simple casserole without burning it! Once that soup hit her taste buds, a million nerves went of in her mouth from the taste alone! It was magnificent! She gobbled it all up until there was nothing left in the bowl. It was so delicious, that she asked for second helpings, which Nick happily obliged to do. They had a drink before bed and Nick was on the sofa again.
The fox's shamrock green pools opened to be greeted by the bland ceiling. He was still wearing the chain that he got from Judy around his neck. He held it in his hand and smiled at it. Nick turned the key around to see the secret engraving he added later that night. 'N.W + J.H NYF 2017' "Heh, heh..." Nick chuckled as he stretched his arms until he realised that a grey figure in sheep's clothing (No, literally!) in purple by his side. It was the bunny. Judy was pressed up against him, secure against the fierce orange fox as her arms were wrapped around his neck. Her nose dug into the soft crook of his neck, breathing softly that parted his fur there.
Nick smiled and started to stroke from her head to the large ears on top of her cranium. He felt like he could stay there forever. Well, that was until his phone started to vibrate on the table next to the sofa. He grunted as he reached for his phone, he even tried to use the 'force' to make his phone go towards him. He finally gave in and heaved his body up whilst trying his best not to disturb the sleeping beauty. He placed Judy's head on his firm stomach. The phone screamed at him. It read 'C.B.'. Nick immediately answered it.
"Hellooo, chief!" Nick chirped "What brings you to the phone at nine in the morning?" Chief Bogo's voice boomed on the other side of the phone. "Hello, Wilde. How's things been for you? Have you recovered just fine?" Nick stretched his legs. "Oh yes! I'm feeling great now sir. Hope you've had a great new year celebration. What were you up to last night? Hope you haven't done anything naughty..." Nick chortled down the phone. He could hear a sign of disapproval on the other end. "Now is not the time for chatting, Wilde." Nick laughed. "Well, you started it chief." Chief Bogo just ignored with what he was trying to implement and just continued with what he needed to say.
"As you may be aware, I have advised you not to come in to work for a week after your recovery, is that correct?" Nick's face transformed from a smile to a disappointed face. He started to talk quietly. "Yes, I am aware of that. I'm kinda bummed out about it. Me and Judy were getting along just fine as partners..." Nick moved his concentration from the phone towards Judy. Looking at her made him regain his smile. "Fine as wine. We get along very well." Nick could hear Bogo talk to himself quietly. "Judy... Hopps... Oh! Wilde, are you able to get hold of Hopps any way at all?" Nick looked again to the bundles of cute. Nick cunningly smiled. "Well, I can only try..."
Unaware to Nick, Judy woke up when his phone started ringing. She just couldn't be bothered to move away from Nick's side and wanted to stay there forever. When she got placed onto Nick's stomach, her heart nearly shot out of her chest. She could feel the small stray bumps of muscle on his stomach and started to feel it more with her paw. She smiled as her eyes opened and gazed on a furry Nick. "Okay, that's fine... Yes! I will tell her right away! M'kay then. Bye chief." he said as he hung up. He looked down his body to see a big stain on his sports tee. "Better change out of this whilst she's asleep." Nick placed Judy's head on a pillow as he shifted his weight onto his feet and walked towards a kitchen chair that his Hawaiian shirt was folded on. Judy was about to say good morning, until something stopped her from doing anything at all.
Nick grabbed his shirt and pulled it off over his head to reveal his muscles and his slim torso. Judy's eyes widened as she gazed upon the absolute sexiness of her partner. She has never seen Nick shirtless before, and it was a first for her and it was well worth taking it all in. She saw the bumps of muscles sticking out that she was laying on top of a few minutes ago. She took in the rich orange outer color of Nick's stomach surrounding the creamy white color in the middle of his torso. She started to sweat and breathe heavily. She never wanted to forget this moment so she slowly took out her phone and snapped a picture of him. Little bit desperate if you ask me, but she didn't care. By the time she tucked her phone away, Nick just finished doing his top three buttons of his shirt and started to put on his tie.
He only ever properly done his tie once since he got it. He only undone it a bit and then tightened it back on when he put it on. "Well, better get some breakfast ready for the bunnykins." Judy decided to get up. She stretched her arms and legs as she yawned loudly to make it look as normal as possible. "Mornin' ya dumb fox." Her voice startled Nick he nearly dropped the milk everywhere! He then regained his thoughts and turned around to see an awakening bunny. "Good morning, beautiful. How's about breakfast?" Judy now knows that every time he offers to make food, she thought it was going to be a great day ahead! "Yeah! That soup last night was delish! So what's for brekkie?" asked Judy as she went towards the fox. Nick eyed a mixing bowl as he shook some fine flour into it.. "Why, I'm doing my best. Blueberry pancakes! The blueberries are extra special, they are from your family farm!" Judy thought that sounded something to die for! Best of all, they were pancakes! "That sounds delightful, Nick! What do you wanna do today?" Nick thought about it for a moment, then something popped into his mind. 'Of course!' he thought to himself. 'The Entertainment District!' Nick whisked the bowl that was filled with eggs, flour and milk. "Hmm. Maybe if ya like, we could go to the Entertainment Distr-" "Yes!" squealed Judy. "I would love to! Maybe we could go watch a movie their or somethin'!"
Nick smiled strongly to the bunny in which Judy returned. They both knew that a big day is over the horizon and they were going to enjoy it a lot! Nick then poured the batter into a pan and let it sizzle. A few minutes later, a plate of sweet smelling pancakes served with fresh blueberries were placed in front of the hungry bunny. "Mmm!" Judy sighed. "Smells AND looks brilliant!" Nick placed his own plate on the table on the seat next to Judy. "Bon appetit! Dig in!" exclaimed Nick as he sunk his fork into his load. Judy was hungry alright, a lot more hungry for something else, Nick's absolute glory of a body. She could not get that image out of her head, hell it doesn't help that it was on her phone either!
Judy took her first bite out her pancakes, and as soon as it hit her tongue. Heaven. Just heavenly. I don't know about you, but how does Nick do it? That was Judy was wondering. "Oh-my-god Nick. This is lovely!" Nick looked up from his plate. "I'm glad you like them, whiskers!" Nick took another big mouthful. "Mmph. Carrots?" Judy looked up to him. "Yes, Nick?" Nick put his fork down and spoke. "Chief buffalo-butt phoned me up to tell you that you can go to work tomorrow and you can talk about what happened that day. He was just very stressed that day." Judy was glad to hear that. She thought that she wouldn't be able to explain herself at all. "Oh that's great! Thanks for telling me that!" "No problem, whiskers."
Judy smiled as she finished her last mouthful of pancake. She rubbed her full stomach. "Mmm. That was good. Thanks Nick!" Nick smiled, with pancakes in his mouth. Judy playfully said; "Ew! What are you, five?" Nick rolled his eyes as he laughed sarcastically. "Har har. Very funny!" He gave her a gentle noogie and Judy giggled. "Such a child!" Nick walked up to her, grabbed her and hugged her in a tight embrace. Judy giggled and wrapped her arms around Nick's waist. "Thanks for a great night yesterday. You made my childhood dream a reality!" Nick stroked her head gently, soaking every soft touch of his paw on her head. "I'm glad you had a good time. I had a blast yesterday aswell." Judy sunk her head into Nick's stomach. "Wanna lay down on the couch and watch some TV?" asked Judy. Nick shrugged his shoulders. He could live up to that. "Sure, why not. But I'm choosing the channel!" The fox and rabbit looked away from each other and eyed the remote sitting on the arm of the sofa. They both looked at each other for a second, let go of one another and made a run for the remote. Judy was fast on her feet so she got there first and grabbed the remote. "Uh uh! That's not fair!" Nick exclaimed as he tried to reach the remote. Judy giggled and shouted whilst Nick reached for the remote. Nick leaned so far that he lost his balance and fell on top of Judy. Now they were both on the sofa with Nick laying on top of Judy. Nick lifted his body off of her own and hung over her wearing that half lidded smile of his. Judy giggled and put a paw on his cheek. "Not so cunning now, are you?" Nick got up off Judy and got comfortable next to her. "Alright then. You can pick!" chipped in Nick. "Less moaning, more hugging" countered Judy as she flicked the channel. They both hugged each other as they watched some daytime telly.
