"Welcome to Casa de Nicholas!" Nick proclaims as he opens his apartment door. The raccoon scans the area as she nods her head. The apart is a decent size. The walls are painted a light green color and the floors are made of hard wood. The living-room has a flat screen TV with two black recline chairs with a cherry oak coffee table between them. The kitchen is connected to the living-room and the cupboards are also made of cherry oak, there is a small silver coffee marker and microwave on the marble counter with the sink a few inches away, a black refrigerator and a small glass round table with 4 chairs. It is homie.
"Cute." She states simply as she looks back at Nick. Nick carries her to the kitchen and turns right to a doorway and enters a small hallway. There a three doors and Nick points at each of them.
"The door on the far left is my room; the middle door is the bathroom and the door on the far right in the guestroom. Which where you will be staying at." He says as he walks to the guestroom. He opens the door and places the injured raccoon on the bed. Rizzo looks around the small room. On the left side of the room there is a small wooden dresser with a mirror connected to the counter. The bed is in the middle of the room and it is a single bed cover in red sheets with two white pillows. And on the right side there is a small closet, one window and a nightstand next to the bed with a silver lamp. Rizzo also took the time to look at dark blue carpet floor. The raccoon shifts her large eyes up at Nick and smiles gratefully.
"Thank you so much." She thanked him again sincerely as she fiddles with hers paws nervously. Nick chuckles and waves it off.
"Nah, it's nothing. Just I glad could help. Well I'm going to let you settle in, I'll come check on you later." And with that the fox left the room. When the door finally closed Rizzo release a heavy sigh as she leans back on the bed.
"You can do this, you can do this, you can do this." She chats softly as she closes her eyes.
…
After a half an hour Nick brought a clean towel and a clean shirt for Rizzo to wear. The raccoon carefully took a quick shower, dried herself off and put on the shirt Nick gave her. The shirt is a dark blue color and it went to her knees. She looks herself in the mirror, the white bubble letters on the shirt read 'Zootopia Police Academy'. The female smiles softly as she admires the shirt a while longer.
….
"Wow, Nick I didn't know you can cook!" Rizzo sighs happily as she rubs her fully belly. Nick rolls his eyes playfully as he took the plates and places them in the sink.
"Well believe it or not I'm not completely hopeless." He shot back teasingly making Rizzo giggle.
"If my memory services me correct, and it does, weren't you the one who burnt mac and cheese?" Rizzo reminds him making Nick groan. The fox remember that day; his mom let him have it when she saw her favorite pot ruined.
"That is because a certain impatient raccoon put the fire on high when I wasn't looking." Nick states defensively as he approached the raccoon. Rizzo playfully gasp as she sat up right on the chair.
"Are you accusing me of such a crime? I would never do such a thing." she claims as she crosses her arms. Slowly but surely a mischievous smirk spreads across her face. Nick gave her a blank stare as he places his paws on his hips.
"You are a very bad lair Rizzy." Nick recaps for the raccoon making her snicker. He always calls her bluff.
The room atmosphere changes from an awkward first meeting to a comfortable setting. The way the two banter back and forth felt like old times. It was as if the 20 year gap never happened.
"You are the only one who calls out my bluff…Blue." Rizzo smirks evilly as she used an old nickname making Nick cringe. That was something he wished to never remember again.
When him and Rizzo were in high school, he pulled a prank on Flash during track and so the sloth decided to get even. When Nick ran his mile in gym class and he decided to take a long shower. Little did he know Flash put blue fur dye in his shampoo bottle. He was blue for two weeks. Rizzo kept calling him Blue or asked 'why he looks so blue?' It was never ending nightmare and on top of that his fur got dried from the many showers he had in attempt to remove the color.
"Please don't remind me." He pleads as he rubs his forehead. Rizzo sniggers as she leans back into the chair.
"Are you serious? That was the funniest thing ever! Flash got you good!" Rizzo shot back as she laughs harder at the memory. Nick stares at her blankly for a while, but he couldn't keep a straight face. Her laugh is contagious. The fox chuckle as he went over to the raccoon and lifts her from the chair. Rizzo yelps out in surprise and she clings on Nick for dear life.
"BLUE!?" She laughs out knowing the name bother him.
"Oh this is funny?" he asked to the female that is over his shoulders. He could feel her tug on his shirt tightly trying not to fall over.
"Yes!" she answers honestly. Nick smiles and begins to spin violently around making her dizzy.
"Stop Blue you know I get mention sickness fast!" She whines out but a smile is still present on her face. Nick stops his abruptly as he catches his breath.
"Duh, that's why I'm doing it, but I will put you down if you stop calling me blue, deal?" the fox bargains with her. Rizzo hums in thought as she taps her chin.
"Mhmmm, deal…Blue." And with that Nick began to spin around again making her squeak.
"Ok, ok, ok Nick. I am sorry Nick!" she caves in as she giggles. The fox smiles triumphally as his grip on her loosen. Rizzo easily slides down in Nick's arms. When her feet touch the ground, she stares up at Nick. Their chests are pressed lightly together and their snouts are inches apart. Rizzo arms rested around his neck while his arms rested on her waist. Elecectfying green eyes gaze into hypnotic icy blue ones. Nick couldn't help to think she is gorgeous. Rizzo's eyes look over his handsome face; she couldn't believe that this is the same boy she had loved many years ago. She still remembers how in love she was with him, she still remembers when she scribbled in her diary 'Rizzo Coon Wilde or Rizzo Wilde Coon'. My how times have changed. The room became extremely quiet which cause Rizzo to snap out her daze as she looks down shyly.
"Well, it's getting late. Mind helping to my room?" she asks. Nick blinks rapidly bringing himself back to reality before nodding.
"Sure." He smirks softly as he wraps his arms around her; he lifts her around the waist and proceeds to walk to the guestroom. Rizzo laughs softly as she held onto him. Nick kicks open her door and place the female on the bed. Rizzo cranes her neck up as she kisses his cheek again making the fox heart beat faster.
"Thank you and goodnight hemoso." Rizzo says automatically. Her eyes widen in realization at what she had said; she bit her lower lip as she avoids eye contact. She hopes he didn't remember what that meant. Nick face grew hot as he smiles nervously. He leans down and kisses her cheek softly making Rizzo gasp softly. She turns her head around to see Nick walking over to the door. Her eyes fixated on him as he turns around to look back at her.
"Anytime and goodnight, maravilloso." And with that he closes the door. Rizzo stomach flips as she stares at the door where the fox once stood. The raccoon fell back on the bed as she covers her face.
"I can't do this."
