Four months.
Four beautiful months.
That is how long Nick and Judy have been together. The time from the night where the confessed their love to each other to now had been a whirlwind. It was a secret relationship, at first at least. However, when Benjamin Clawhauser caught the pair kissing in the hallway, word traveled fast. It was concerning for the couple at first, but in the end, it all kind of just worked out. Even Chief Bogo was pretty good with it, jokingly warning them to keep PDA to a minimum in the workplace.
Not everyone was ecstatic to see a fox and a bunny together romantically, but the complaints were few and far between. Both Judy and Nick had been at the receiving ends of choice words from doubters before, so this would wind up being no different. They were content with each other, and hearing someone go against that didn't phase them much.
After about two months, Nick heard a knock at his door. Opening it, he found Judy, who for once seemed out of breath. Sure enough, she had packed and toted all her things up the stairs and left them in front of his door. Playfully scolding Judy for not asking for help, he helped carry her stuff in. With that, Judy and Nick had moved in together. That was one of the parts of their relationship that they loved the most, things just happened, not everything had to be planned out and ceremonious.
If things were good before they started dating, things had only gotten better. Judy and Nick had even more energy and drive than ever before, and almost always had smiles on their faces. And those few moments in which one felt bad, like really bad, the other was there to comfort the other. If anything could have been better, they didn't recognize it, everything was absolutely perfect to them.
Autumn had turned to winter, and the holiday season loomed. Judy was both excited and anxious, she was ready to introduce Nick to her parents, but it was bound to be an interesting conversation to be sure. She'd soon find out exactly how much, because within a few weeks, they would go to Bunny Burrow, the both of them, and they'd be ready.
Nick too had plans, plans that Judy was very curious about. He was playing something off, his sneaking around a little, strange private conversations with Clawhauser that Judy would only ever seem to catch the tail end of. It didn't worry her much, everybody seemed to be cooking up some gift or plan this time of year, and Nick was obviously having fun with it, so for now, it was nothing more than a curiosity.
Things were perfect to them, however, they felt the same way about that before they were dating too. There were still worries for both of them, things that were holding them back. But, this time, they knew they'd have each other. Judy and Nick could face things together now. Secret plans, meeting parents, their jobs, and any self doubts felt so much more manageable. They were with each other, and that meant they had the world in their paws.
