7:00

Judy opened her eyes groggily as an alarm clock sounded off through the room. With a big yawn, Judy turned onto her side to admire the red fox laying next to her. Realizing the alarm was still on, she reached over and turned it off. Last night went by like a blur to her after the game they played. Nick took Judy over to his room and when Nick laid her down on his bed Nick passed out right next to her.

Judy loved nick. There is no denying that. They spent almost every day and night together, basking in each other's company. Judy couldn't ask for a better friend than Nick. Nick awoke with a big yawn as he flashed his canine teeth to Judy. Turning on his side, Nick opened his eyes and stared into Judy's.

"Well this is weird" Nick said as he stretched out his limbs. "Never though I'd get a bunny in my bed last night."

Judy giggled and playfully hit Nick on the arm. "We didn't do anything sweetie, you passed out right next to me."

"Is that so?" Nick said as he tried to remember last night. Nick turned around to lay on his back again, staring up at the ceiling. "This is the first time we've slept together."

Judy thought about what Nick just said and soon turned a dark shade of red thanks to Nick's comment. Thankfully her fur did not allow Nick to notice.

"Is that a carrot in my bed or a bright red beat?" Nick said in a playful tone as Judy threw a pillow at him. "Ok, ok point taken Fluff."

Judy sat up in bed and stretched her muscles out with much admiration from Nick. Judy received a very well formed body from being on the ZPD. The rigorous training they received stopped most cadets on the first day, but Nick and Judy both prevailed.

Judy climbed out of bed and grabbed her phone off the nightstand. Breakfast needed to be made and the groceries Nick has are probably only for predators Judy thought. Judy walked out into the kitchen and opened the freezer and saw nothing of importance, explaining why Nick got all sad last night after looking inside. Judy walked to the other end of the kitchen and opened Nick's pantry and found a box of pre made pancake mix.

Nick decided it was his turn to crawl out of bed as he stretched and cracked a few bones. He was tired from last night with the little bunny tiring him out. An idea struck Nick's mind as he slowly crept into the kitchen. Nick saw Judy standing by the counter on a stool mixing something in a bowl. As slowly as he could, Nick crept behind Judy on all fours and leaned back to pounce.

"You may be sneaky Nick, but us bunny's have incredible hearing you know." Judy said as she kept on stirring. "You could of slept a little longer. Breakfast won't be ready for a few more minutes.

Nick stood up as he accepted his defeat and walked over to the sink. "I can't sleep once the alarm sounds. I forgot to turn it off from yesterday." Nick explained as he splashed some water on his face. Grabbing a towel, Nick turned to Judy and leaned on the counter admiring the bunny he had seduced.

Judy realized what Nick was doing and poured the mix into a pan on the stove. The pan sizzled as the pancake mix started to cook.

"Please stop staring at me fox. I will have to report you to the ZPD." Judy said sarcastically in a threatening tone.

Nick chuckled at her comment. "What will you say to them? Help! There is a devilishly handsome fox in my apartment trying to eat breakfast with me!" Nick said as he threw his hands up into the air in dismay.

Seeing this, Judy threw a wad of paper at Nick and snickered. "Sly fox" she said as Nick walked into the living room. Nick looked into the corner of the room and saw the tree that he and Judy picked out. It was 6ft tall, perfect for small mammals there size, and had the classic Christmas colors on it of reds and greens. Nick looked under the tree and saw two presents laying under the tree with one of them belonging to Judy. Nick pulled out the smaller of the two and proceeded back into the kitchen with the present held behind his back.

Judy was just finishing up the last pancake as Nick sat down at the little dining room table placed in the kitchen. The room smelled delicious, thanks to Judy, and Nick's sensitive fox nose made the experience even better. Judy walked over to Nick with two large plates of pancakes and two steaming cups of coffee.

"You did good Fluff." Nick said as he took a big whiff of the pancakes. Before Judy could say anything , Nick dived into his pancakes, losing all forms of politeness. Judy giggled at the scene but quickly pushed him back.

"Nick please eat properly!" Judy scolded as the fox let out a sad whimper. "Today's Christmas! Show a little decency will you?"

Nick sighed as he put his pancake down. "I will only do that if you do something for me." Nick said to Judy, staring into her violet eyes. Even in the mornings Judy looked as beautiful as ever.

"What's that Nick?" Judy asked. Waiting a moment Judy responded again. "Don t you dare try and pull a trick on me now."

Nick leaned back in his chair with a paw over his heart. "Carrots! Way to stereotype us foxes." Nick responded with a look of disappointment on his face

Realizing what she said, Judy set her fork down and opened her mouth again to speak, but before any words came out Nick held up a box in front of her muzzle. Judy squealed in delight as she saw the box wrapped tightly with a golden ribbon as Nick stared back at her, smiling.

"You're right by the way, I did have a trick waiting for you." Nick said as Judy tore into the present. With a great tug the ribbon came off and so did the wrapping paper, leaving a cardboard box in it's place. Opening the box Judy found and even smaller box with a felt covering on it. Judy looked back up at Nick with a quizzical look.

"Nick. Did you get me jewelry?" Judy asked as she stared into Nick's eyes.

Nick snickered at her and nodded his head. Judy took this as a go ahead sign and opened up the smaller velvet box. Inside laid a small amethyst locket with a silver coating around the Jewel. Judy's eyes went wide as she saw the gift and jumped over to Nick to hug him. Judy squeezed Nick tightly as Nick wrapped his arms around her. No words were needed to explain how Judy felt as this act of love said it all.

"Your missing the best part Carrots. Open it up." Nick said pushing Judy back into her chair. Judy gave no resistance as her interest rose. With her small claws she opened the jewel to find a picture of her and Nick on their first day working together at the ZPD. Judy's eyes started to tear up as she remembered the day vividly.

Judy set the jewel down and gave Nick a passionate kiss in which Nick offered no resistance too. The couple stayed like this for what seemed like forever, savoring the love the each of them had to offer. Judy was the one who pulled away she she stared into Nick's eyes.

"I never got you anything hun." Judy said with a tinge of disappointment. "To be fair, I never even asked."

Nick waited a moment before leaning in and giving Judy a peck on her head.

"I don't need anything because all I ever need is right here." Nick said as he gave her another peck.

Judy giggled at his kisses and held onto his arms, holding him in place. "What exactly do you already have?" Judy asked.

Nick leaned in again and put his muzzle right next to hers. "I have my Carrots."

Judy looked confused at his answer. "You hate carrots. Every time I offer you one you say no."

Nick grabbed Judy's chin with his paws. "Not those carrots silly." Nick leaned in even closer. "I'm talking about you." With that, Nick leaned in the rest of the way and pulled Judy into a deep, passionate kiss. Judy closed her eyes and accepted his kiss. The two broke apart and rested their foreheads against each other's.

"You are my favorite Carrot." Nick said as Judy took his paw and started leading him to his bedroom.

Nick offered no resistance as he was dragged away. Fully knowing of what is to come next.

"Please go easy on me this time." Nick pleaded as Judy shut the door.

"Not a chance, fox."

The End
