"Stake-out 2"
"You sure there's something here?" Asked Judy Hopps, who stared out of the driver's window towards the other cars parked beside them.
"Of course-" Nick replied smoothly as they overlooked the view from the cliff, seeing the glowing orbs of light from the city. "I swear something is going to go down, we just need to wait it out." He smirked. Judy ears lowered in concern.
"But there's seems to be nothing wrong here, I'll I see is couple enjoying the view, are you sure this is the place?"
Nick let out an audible gasp holding his chest as if he's been wounded. "Whiskers!-do you actually not trust me?"
Judy eyes narrowed. "Nick-where did you get this tip?"
"From a reliable-uh "semi-reliable" source, honest!" He replied, holding his right paw in the air. "Everything is legit."
Judy bit the inside of her cheek. "If you say so..." She said turning back to the car beside them. She noticed a female sheep and a male enjoying the scenery together. She watched as they exchanged words, the female sheep began to giggle before the male slowly came in taking her in his arms, in a heated embrace. Judy's face immediately reddened, turning away and towards the steering wheel.
"Oh gross!" Nick exclaimed in mock laughter towards Judy's reaction. She gave him a harsh scowl as he continued. "Ewww! Right whiskers? Aren't you going to arrest them for PDA?" He said nudging her with his elbow playfully. She crossed her arms, her cheeks puffing out in annoyance. Nick gave her a sleepy-gaze, leaning back on his seat.
"Let's hop in the back- and no that pun was not intentional." He said climbing out from his seat. Judy rolled her eyes.
"We have to vigilant-you said that there might be something here and the best vantage point is at the front." She replied.
"Yeah sure-you keep looking at the animals kissing, I'm sure you'll find something illegal." He chuckled as he leaned back against the car door, his leg propped up on the length of the seats. Judy eyebrows furrowed together as Nick made himself comfortable, even going as far as to taking out a blanket from underneath his seat. He gave her a smirk, patting on the seat. She let out a scoff and reluctantly moved beside him, sitting with her back erect and rigid. Nick cocked a brow noticing how far away she was and how she intensely focused on the outside.
"You know..." He slowly started. "You could relax by me-you know?"
Judy's ear twitched. "I'm fine here-one of us has to be look out."
She jumped feeling a paw on her shoulder making her whirl at Nick, who gave her a small smile.
"Just come here." He said gently pulling her towards him. "I promise I won't bite."
She never had a chance to reply because she was already resting her head on his chest. Her small body was curled perfectly against him as he fully laid against the length of the back seat. She let out a small blush as he draped the blanket over her shoulders. An arm wrapped around her slim waist protectively as the other brushed against her long ears.
"W-wait Nick!" She pushed herself up, only to have his paw stopping her. "What are you doing?"
He shrugged innocently. "Just trying to get my partner comfortable, if she'll let me."
Her paws clenched into fists. "There's not going to be any criminal activity here, is there?" She said with a tight jaw. Nick ears lowered.
"Nooooo?-I mean!...yessss?" He cringed as Judy forcefully pulled herself away.
"I can't believe you, Nick!-I should have known you were up to something!" She hit herself on the forehead. "I should have never believed you!"
"Hey, Hey, Hey." He sat up, putting his paws out to her only for her to pull herself away.
"Don't touch me, Wilde!" She warned.
"But Judy!"
"Don't you "but Judy-" me! You sneak!" She growled and punched him harshly in the arm. "You're despicable!"
"Ow! Judy! Come on-I just wanted-!"
She punched him again. "I don't want to hear it! You just wanted to make fun of me!" She gave him another punch. "Laugh at me while I wait for nothing!" Another punch. "Treating me like I'm stupid!"
She put out her fist, heading for his gut only for it to stop in mid-punch by his palm. He swiftly twisted his wrist catching her own in his paw. She glared at him only to find him already glaring back at her. Her ears suddenly dropped finding his eyes intensely staring at her, like a predator that caught its prey, which was exactly that. She felt herself sink with her breath caught.
She winced as he twisted her paw out, removing her fist. With her fingers free, he brings up her open palm towards his mouth. He gently placed his lips against her soft hand making her let out a shaky breath. His eyes quickly soften as he pulled away.
"Don't you ever think that I would treat you like one of my "clients"." He said, intertwining his paw into her own, embracing it. She turned her head away from him.
"Then why?...just to-have fun?" Her voice cracked.
"Of course not-" he replied honestly. "I wanted to spend time with you, my plan was that we wait here for a few hours and maybe...watch you sleep?" He let out a soft chuckle as she gave him a bewildered look.
"Why'd you lie to me than?-if you wanted...if you wanted to take me up here, you could have just-"
"Ask?" He let out a scoff. "Yeah right-the only free time you have is dedicated to your police work." She blinked at him. "Day shift, night shift, private investigator, stake outs...when do you have time? The only time you have is sleep and a couple of hours of free time! Do you really think that you would have went with me if I said "let's go watch the town lights?"
"Oh Nick-" she sighed grabbing his tie. She twirled the fabric in her paw, pulling it towards her. "I'm sorry I've been busy but...if you would have said something-I would have "made" time for you. Just for you...and maybe myself."
He let out an exhale of air and kissed her tenderly on the forehead. Judy let out a small blush.
"I'm sorry." He admitted. "I shouldn't have tricked you."
Judy pulled at his tie bring him down towards her, giving him a small kiss on the cheek.
"It's alright Nick..." She whispered placing her free paw on his cheek. He gave her a sleepy-gaze making her smile. She slowly wrapped her small arms around his neck in a tight hug while he wrapped his own around her torso.
