It was a dreary, cold autumn morning, which was fitting for the cemetery. The remains of flowers, once blooming and pretty, littered the grass surrounding the graves.
A fox walked towards one of the graves, a sad smile across his muzzle. He was dressed casually, and his stance reflected that, with his paws in his pockets to protect them from the nipping cold, but ultimately failing at the simple task.
"You would have loved these." Nick gestured towards the bouquet of White Carnations he'd taken out. "Probably."
He began to tear up, and wiped his eyes. "I knew you'd make me cry again. God, I miss you." Nick admitted.
He placed the bouquet on the cold grave and looked over the small granite headstone. "Oh, you've got a little something there." He wiped a small vine off of the headstone.
"I'll never forget you, and I'll always love you." Nick lamented.
"So, where'd you head off to, Slick?"
Nick looked towards the bunny laying in a hospital bed, unfortunately made for mammals much bigger than her. Also rather unfortunately (for her, at least), it made her look quite cute. Although, you couldn't actually say that around her.
The fox rose out of his chair, and walked towards the doe.
"Morning Judy," He kissed Judy on the cheek, as a smirk travelled across his face. "I just went to go visit someone."
"Oh, who did you see?" Judy asked.
Nick stepped away from the bed and looked out of the door, towards the hospital cemetery. He remembered back to twenty minutes ago, and his smirk disappeared.
Nick looked back at her. "My mother."
Judy's smile reflected his. "Oh, your mother?" She asked, tilting her head slightly. "Will I get to meet her?" She asked.
"Unless that leg of yours gets a really bad infection, I don't think so." He walked back into the room and sat in a chair next to Judy.
It took a moment for it to hit Judy.
Judy's eyes widened in surprise. "Oh- Nick," She stammered.
Before the rabbit could fully apologize, Nick cut in. "Its fine. She died a while ago anyway." He assured, his signature smirk returning to his muzzle.
Judy's smile didn't return, though. Instead, she looked towards the white bedspread. "What happened?" She asked slowly.
"Cancer," Nick sighed, and looked towards a window. His smirk, again, disappeared. "I was 22."
"You know," He continued, but stopped in realization. "She would have absolutely loved you." Nick chuckled, emphasizing the "loved" by pointing at the now-smiling Judy.
That smile (of course) soon disappeared though, as Judy anxiously mulled over a question, her eyes pointing towards the hospital bed again.
"Nick," She began, looking directly into his emerald-green eyes. "Do you have any family?"
Nick's smile also disappeared, and he took in a deep sign. He looked away from Judy, also thinking over an answer.
"Only you."
Lots of thanks to Combat Engineer for helping me make this actually good.
