You know you could say that me and this little ol' rabbit are pretty much inseparable at this point. Of course I don't mean Judy, well at least anymore; she may not be with us but a small part of her spirit is I think, both with me and even a little bit of Jack. Yes that Jack, one of the most renown un-renown spies that everybody's never heard of, really his popularity is only from the fact he's the first ever bunny spy, but being part of the M16 doesn't exactly get your name out there even with that fact. Well that's perhaps not the case anymore considering this bunny is far from unknown now days, being part of a publicly open "secret branch" that the new mayor sure seems to enjoy talking about constantly with its many successes. Well at least he's smart enough not to make Jack or me openly go out in public and accept medals, even if perhaps they'd be a nice adornment and show off piece.

Ah but I digress. As I was saying before me and this bunny basically do everything together ever since what happened at the end of our first big case. When I felt like I had almost nobody he was there supporting me, going to the bar with me and listening to my drunk ramblings, and even one night sleeping next to me after we had a few drinks to many... well, I usually try to omit that last part from my memory, once you're sober the morning after is always a bit.. awkward. But even so almost every day we get together in our nice snazzy outfits, get some coffee or snacks from a few local food places, to which Jack always seems to know the best ones around town, and just hang out. After that one of us drives the other to the ZPD and we both head straight to our little secluded branch, only ever really getting a chance to say a few hello's to other officers on the way or chats with them in the cafeteria if we want. It got to the point that some of the other officers started calling us Jack Wilde or Nick Savage sense we were always together.

I didn't really bother retorting their teasing after a certain point though, not like I could really argue the fact we were with each other constantly. But well sense I can't do anything with Judy anymore I just do everything with Jack now, maybe even more than I did with carrots considering our free time. At times though it can be really odd how similar that bunny is to her, but I still of course know he isn't her. There's no such thing as a replacement for Judy, nor anyone else in the world for that matter, you make do with what you get and I got lucky enough to be given another equally fantastic bunny, don't know what I'd do without the guy.

Oh and despite the previous case being "closed", to which I still question if you can call it that, the mayor decided to keep the branch open due to the insane amount of popularity our little escapades have created. All this time I thought our branch really was only a publicity stunt but who knew I'd actually do a lot of good, crime rates around the city have actually momentarily gone down due to us , not to mention the free time we get sense there isn't always need for an undercover mission.

At the moment the majority of our work is just showing up or writing a few reports here and there, even then we get way too much down time or just general break time. "Uh Nick?" Most of the time if it's later in the day we usually just head to that local bar by ourselves, and considering our checks it's hard not to- "Nick!".

Nick suddenly jolted up a little bit completely caught off guard, he turned his head over to his right to see Jack in the passenger seat looking at him, Nick sitting in the driver's side of the car stopped at a red light. "Jeez you weren't even paying attention, what were you day dreaming about this time?" Nick relaxed a little bit back into his seat and put back on his usual somewhat smug grin. "Oh you know the usual, , memories of past missions, thinking of saving cute vixens with my patented spy skills, crashing the car into the side walk while day dreaming." "Yeah well let's not make that last day dream a reality huh? If we don't hurry were not going to make it to the ceremony in time, and you're the one carrying the ring." Jack quickly retorted as Nick's sly grin disappeared from his response. Nick quickly looked at the clock in their car, 5:40, still time to get to the ceremony at 6:00 but Nick was hoping to give himself more leeway.

"Don't worry bunny I got this." Nick put on his sunglasses as he clutched the steering wheel tightly. The minute the light turned green he started to almost floor it down the road with a small grin appearing on his face, Jack seeming somewhat unfazed by his course of action. "This may not be a chase but don't get to relaxed, if you screw up not only will we not make it but we'll be paying for a replacement vehicle." Nick did a very quick swerve and drift to the right easily avoiding the other few cars around them while keeping his foot on the gas. "You should know better than to doubt me bunny, especially after the last mission we were on." Jack crossed his arms giving Nick a somewhat cocky smooth grin of his own. "You mean the part where our target was supposed to be interested in you but ended up going over to me instead because you were too busy talking to a vixen?" "Well for your information bunny the vixen was hitting on mywa and it would have been very rude of me to say no to her drink. If anything it just shows that you're clearly more fit for missions involving other males."

Jack over exaggeratingly put a paw to his chin. "Hmmmm not so sure about that one slick, you did look awfully good in that dress last time. Maybe now that we both got a chance at seducing someone we'll get to seduce a guy together as a team?" Nick pointed out his finger for a quick second in the air near Jack, keeping his other hand tightly on the wheel. "See that's another complaint I have by the way, we've gotten two cases of having to seduce a guy but where are all the cases were we get to seduce women? Surely there must be a few underground female dealers with wide hips and good looks, not just gay weaselss and Deer." Jack adjusted his tie slightly and put on a smug grin. "Well I don't know about you but I have gotten to do that on multiple occasions actually, perhaps the chief just doesn't want to give you the satisfaction?"

The car quickly halted as they parked at their destination spot, Nick ignoring Jack's comment and looking at the clock. "Alright just in time..." Nick said out loud before relaxing a bit more and stretching his arms upward as Jack started to get out of the car. "Come on now don't take too long, you'll have plenty of time to relax when waiting for groom."

The Church was almost dead silent as everyone in their seats watched the priest in front of them almost enchantingly; this type of atmosphere had been going on for quite some time and a bit of eagerness lingered in the room as the priest neared the end of his speech. The left side of the church was filled with a disparity of different Raccoon's and even few variations within its own species, while the right side of the church was filled with a smaller amount of tigers; both teams watching the ceremony with baited eyes.

Nick with his always confident smile stood to quite a few people's surprise as Fangmeyer's best man with his hands behind lying gently behind his back, seeming to have all the patience in the world. Meanwhile Jack stood somewhat adjacent to Nick on the Raccoon's side among one of his closer friends, though not as his best man. Fangmeyer himself was looking dapper in a very expensive suit that fit him well enough, A little on the tight side considering his physique but also not to loose fitting. And on the other side looking quite a bit shorter stood Axel, An equally as happy Raccoon also sporting an equally as nice suit with a wide smile across his face.

The priest finishing up his speech closed his book and looked happily at the two animals. "You may now kiss the groom." The two animals gazed at each other's eyes for a brief moment before they both leaned forward and engaged in a passionate kiss, causing both sides of the church to clap and even a few small cheers being heard among them.

Pop! The sound of a cork echoed throughout the dining hall as the father on the Raccoon's side of the family popped a bottle of champagne and spilled some of the drink across the floor with almost reckless abandon, both the grooms and their family's only laughed and cheered around the table in response. Jack and Nick from a small distance were back together smiling happily for the couple and occasionally glancing around the room filled with other tables and family members chatting with one another.

"I really can't believe it." Nick said shaking his head as he looked at the two. "I really didn't think I'd be alive today to see one of the first ever inter-species marriages, you can question some of what the new Mayor of Zootopia has done for the city but you can't deny he's done some good by legalizing this." Jack let a happy and content smile show his face as he continued looking at the two happily clinking their glasses and downing champagne together, a sudden slightly cocky yet suave smile starting to creep on his as he looked over at Nick. "You know I'm more surprised that you of all people became Fangmeyer's best mate for the wedding. I knew you two talked more than some of the other's but you weren't ever truly that close right? I mean there's no way that you've chatted with Fangmeyer more then you've talked to Clawhauser. I only got to be up here with Axel due to our past friendship when I was younger and in Zootopia, so I'm thinking there's more a reason for you as well."

Nick only smugly smiled at Jack's always quick wit and thinking. "Well if you must know it was because I was actually the one that convinced him to go with the marriage." Jack looked over at Nick with a shocked expression, almost not believing him. "No way, he went to you!?" Nick chuckled in response shaking his head as if he almost didn't believe it himself. "I know right, ludicrous, going to me of all people. But apparently I was the only friend in that day so early and he actually pulled me aside while walking to the bathroom. He told me he had spent most of the day before and the entire morning stressing over this idea. He hit me with an information bomb in the time span of 6 minutes, really you should have heard how fast he was talking. He talked all about falling for this raccoon fellow, loving him, being with him, the legalization of marriage, thoughts on wanting to actually do it, all this doubt and concern he had. He basically said he wanted to marry the guy but was super stressed about what other people would think, if his family would be ok with the idea, about this and that and well you know the deal."

Jack only stared at nick inquisitively as he took a drink off the table taking a small sip. "So.. what did you tell him?" Nick did the same as Jack before responding. "Well simple, I told him it doesn't matter. Not to put down how important this legalization thing really is but at the end of the day marriage isn't going to change your love for someone right? If anything I always saw it not really as a next step, but a bit of an excuse to celebrate. Some people feel better about it if they have papers backing up their relationship but at the end of the day a marriage should be something fun and exciting I think. He was worrying so much about the public's view, about peoples thought's on the matter, and all this other stuff he had practically forgotten why he wanted to do it, to show Axel that he loved him. So I told him if he truly wanted to do it simply for himself and his partner, and not for any other excuse or reason, that he should stop worrying and just do it. And now well here we are."

Nick put back on his smug smile as he looked over at the married couple already on their second glass of champagne. Jack gave a warm smile to the couple at the same time as Nick, turning his head back over to the fox. "You know you really did to a fantastic thing for them, I think Fangmeyer's not only lucky to have you as a friend, but I think I'm quiet lucky to have someone as caring as you as my partner." Nick almost as an automatic response looked away from Jack rubbing his neck and feeling a bit of embarrassment, Jack like Nick tended to usually be a bit sarcastic with most of the stuff he said, and unlike him also tended to be very to the point when talking about something, not much on always fluffing up words; but either way it goes Jack always had a friendly air to his tone of voice if it wasn't something to serious. And it wasn't often, but occasionally he would say something genuinely nice or encouraging to the fox like he is now, and it always got him just a little bit unexpectedly.

"Hey come on don't be saying stuff like that at a wedding, my old fox heart can only take so many emotions at once." Nick said in a joking manner back. And just as Jack was going to respond, Fangmeyer and Axel surprised them by coming up to them from behind as the tiger casually put an arm around Nick with a smile. "Wachu fellows talking about over here? Hope I didn't interrupt something romantic~" The tiger teased to the two but specifically Nick, it certainly wasn't a secret in the ZPD building that the two practically did almost everything together. Nick only looked back at the tiger with a smile. "No but you did interrupt us trying to give you cheers for a healthy and long lasting relationship, so I guess that won't be happening anytime soon."

Fangmeyer only laughed as he took another huge sip from his champagne glass as a little posy of other officers from the ZPD behind him showed up with drinks. "Well come on you two, Axel here will be joining us for a little rare occasion of police debauchery at the fancy little bar you both can afford to go to way too often, not that anyone here will have to worry about buying anything." Fangmeyer looked back at the crew as they all did a little cheer for him.

Jack looked over at the two and back around to some of the other guests. "But what about both of your families?" The Racoon was the one to respond this time. "Eh you know my folks, they aren't exactly big into partying anyways, besides it's our wedding and I think drinking with some police officers sounds fun to me~" The Raccoon said leaning slightly into Fangmeyer as the tiger wrapped one of his arms around him. "And my own folks didn't seem to mind when I told them what we wanted to do, we'll have a bit more champagne here then head on off to the bar!" He said with a roar as the officers cheered again and a few family members around them laughed.

Nick had his usual cocky and smug grin as the two partners both looked at each other for a brief moment. "Well as they say bunny, live and let live right?" Jack caving in let out a small sigh with a smug grin of his own afterward. "Alright but let's try not to get too pissed drunk this time ok?" Nick only rolled his eyes in response giving him a light smile. "Whatever you say bunny."

The door creaked open to Jack's apartment as the mildly drunken bunny and fox giggled near the entrance way walking up into the room, Nick turning the lights on already knowing where the switch it. "Wow.. I can't believe how much that Raccoon can party, he even gives Clawhauser a run for his money after a few mixed drinks." Jack laughed a bit more thinking about it as he slumped down on his big couch. "What I can't believe is that we actually ended up not getting completely wasted tonight. Everyone but us was already downing champagne at the party so while we were just getting buzzed everyone at that bar was already getting crazy, I hope those others guys didn't pass out on the way home after that many long islands."

Nick lazily sat next to the bunny with a somewhat drunken smile on his face. "Well I think that's a first for us, going to a party, with the officers no less, and being the least two drunk of the group. Although maybe I should say that's even more an accomplishment for you." Nick said poking a finger on the bunny's chest. "Oh come on I may be well.. a little bit worse then you, but I wouldn't say you're always so great yourself slick." Jack retorted as Nick looked smugly away from the rabbit and titled his head towards the celling while resting his elbows around the back of the couch. "Don't know what you're talking about bunny, wither its being incredibly handsome or drinking I'm always great." Jack laughed at his comeback as even Nick chuckled to himself for a bit before silence broke the room.

Unexpectedly Nick started to speak with a bit of a serious tone to the rabbit. "Hey Jack, I just wanted to say uhm.. thanks." Jack giggled a bit at his response not taking him too seriously at first. "For what, convincing Axel to take that second shot straight away?" Nick shook his head. "No just.. for everything really. I've been thinking about how great today has been and so many days before it and it feels almost unreal after what happened so many months ago. As we were both drunkenly walking through the streets I remember feeling an inkling of familiarity to the situation. Partying with the officers then walking home with a drunken stumble, I started to remember even before you how many times I did that with Judy. Her smile and giggle when she got drunk were both one of the funniest and most genuinely cutest things I had ever seen."

Nick paused for a brief moment with a light smile on his face and hands cusped together leaning forward a bit, contemplating his thoughts as Jack looked over at him with a more serious look as well. "But Just as quickly as I felt that nostalgia I felt a sharp pain in my chest, immediately I would remember that she was gone. I'd never see or hear from her again, and even the memories I do have of her feel almost like distant dreams at times rather than reality. But in that moment of pain I felt as we kept walking, just as a feeling of sadness started to ripple through me I suddenly felt a small little tug from you. You had kept your arm around me and occasionally tugged at it to prevent yourself from being too clumsy, and at that moment I looked down at you and remembered that even though Judy was gone, you were still with me. And In that exact instant the pain and sorrow that was creeping through me immediately disappeared, almost like it was barley real in the first place. I than remembered that Judy being gone wasn't the end all be all of my life, and that the reason I was able to move on from what happened to her and be where I am today, still getting drunk and still able to keep a smile on my face, is thanks to you."

Nick looked down at Jack with a small but loving smirk on his face as Jack returned the favor. The rabbit quickly scooted closer to Nick and gave one of his arms a tight hug while putting his head onto it. "Come on you dumb sentimental fox, you should know you don't have to thank me for that." Nick laughed with a happy tone in his voice as he put a hand softly on Jack's back. "I know bunny, you can partially blame it on the alcohol if it makes this feel any less heavy." Jack's ears suddenly perked up at the fox's words as he looked up at him, this time with a more mischievous grin on his face. "You know speaking of alcohol.. considering everyone at the party got off tomorrow and we got home earlier than we anticipated, we could still get pissed.. if you know what I mean." Nick raised an eyebrow to Jack with a sly smile of his own. "Oh? Wada got in mind rabbit?" Jack let go of Nick and momentarily scooted to the other edge of the couch and opened up a nearby cabinet, taking out of it a bottle of red wine and slyly grinning back at the fox. "We still got a few more bad romance cop flicks to watch you know." Nick only let out a few small giggles in response. "Now you're speaking my language."

"Nicholas... I love you, forever, don't ever leave me again." A very masculine lion bruised up with scratches and dust all over his body was holding a lioness with one arm as he leaned down closer to her. "A long time ago, do you remember when you asked me if I was gonna take it or leave it. Well I've already made up my mind... I'm taking it, all of it..." The Lion entered into a dramatic kiss with the lioness as cheesy trumpets started playing in the background and the screen faded to black with the credits rolling.

Jack and Nick having downed almost all the wine were officially wasted by this point in the movie, with perhaps Jack being the worst of the two, both laughing as well as groaning a little at that ending. "Maannn what an awful call back with that line.." Jack said shaking his head as Nick responded. "And that ending didn't even fix anything, what happened to the guy that escaped; didn't he destroy the entire police station?" Jack then let out a drunken sigh and leaned into Nick closing his eyes. "Aaaahh who cares.." The bunny almost slurred out as Nick looked down at him, he knew after a certain point Jack couldn't handle any more booze and would pass out if he wasn't careful. "Getting tired there bunny? Want me to help you to your room." Though even as he said that the fox himself wasn't sure if he'd be fully capable of doing so given his state as well.

"Mmmm only if you sleep with me this time." Jack practically blurted out as Nick chuckled a little at the bunny's words. "Hey now let's not go down that road again, it's fun and cute when were drunk like this but it's always a little awkward the next morning, for both of us." Jack Buried his face into Nick's groaning a bit more. "I don't care about that, I want to do it anyways." Jack sometimes becomes a little demanding if he gets really wasted. Nick only sighed and helped the sleepy bunny on his feet even though he was only doing marginally better then him right now. "Come on bunny lets hit the hay."

As the two wondered off to the bed and Jack somewhat collapsed on it Nick helped get some blankets on him. "Now try to get some good sleep bunny, we got a whole day ahead of us." Nick said as he looked briefly at the tired bunny and began to turn around, awkwardly trying not to fall himself only to have his shirt strained from Jack's grip. Nick looked back at Jack to see the bunny holding a very drunken but somewhat mischievous smile as he held on tightly to his shirt. "Fine but only if you give me goodnight kiss." Jack said somewhat teasingly as Nick gave him a bit more of a serious look. "Jack come on let go of my shirt." Jack shook his head feverishly. "Come on foxy, either you sleep in my bed with me or give me a little kiss." Jack giggled drunkenly to himself at his own words.

Nick started to feel a little nervous, Jack's grip wasn't letting loose and the fox was too drunk as well as frankly too tired to be thinking of a witty response or clever way out of this. He looked down briefly at the almost equally drunk bunny on the bed who was in turn looking up at Nick with a somewhat innocent yet cute smile on his face, the kind of smile that was starting to remind Nick of a certain someone...

Nick paused for a brief moment not saying anything to the smiling bunny as he suddenly let all of his inhibitions go and gave Jack a small kiss. It was a little sloppy and maybe lasted a second longer than it should have but it was brief; Nick quickly pulled back to see the face of a completely flabbergasted bunny below him holding showing off a blush on his cheeks. Nick also couldn''t help but have a small blush on his face but still kept his expression somewhat serious. Noticing Jack had already let go of him Nick quickly looked away from the bunny and tucked him in further. "Now be a good bunny and go to sleep... I'll see you tomorrow." After his statement the fox rather swiftly left the room and closed the door behind him without even a glance back at him, staying in position on the other side of the door and letting out a sigh. "Did I really just do that..." Nick said to himself as Jack back in the bed was having similar thoughts as he covered his mouth. "Did he really..."

Nick quickly plopped himself down on the guest bed and looked up at the celling a bit groggily. "No point thinking much about it now Nick.. just head to bed and face the awkwardness tomorrow morning.." He groaned at the thought of tomorrow even happening but never the less closed his eyes and due to his drunken state was luckily able to fall asleep very easily, just as Jack did the same.

The sun started to shine throw the window near Nick as the rays touched against his eyelids. Very soon after the fox started opening them realizing it must be somewhere in early afternoon. However when his eyes opened his face immediately contorted to a somewhat groggy and upset expression with his eyelids half shut. "....Shit" Was all the fox said to himself as he got up and stretched off of the bed. He was surprised he didn't get any hangover that day but was glad considering the other head ache he was having from the events yesterday; unfortunately he didn't forget any of them.

His ears also twitched lightly as he heard the sounds of running water in the background and a few pans, Jack was already up and awake before him. A part of Nick just wanted to go back lying face down in the bed forever but he wasn't the type to dodge stuff like this, he got up and went out to face the music. "Oh good morning" was all he heard from the kitchen as Jack seemed to be busy cooking something, presumably for the two of them.

Nick slowly walked over in the direction of the kitchen peaking to see what he was making. "And uhm.. morning to you too...." He paused for a small moment not wanting to continue before looking away from the kitchen area. "Sooooo about last night." He said trying to play it off a little and exaggeratingly looking in the air. "Oh yeah last nice was pretty crazy huh, I actually remember the whole party but I barley remember what happened when we got home." Jack said to Nick's surprise as he flipped an egg over. "Well maybe not completely, really all I forgot was the latter half of that dumb movie we watched and getting to bed, I hope I wasn't too much a hassle getting to my room." Jack let out a light laugh as Nick soaked in what Jack was saying.

Jack looked back a little surprised to not immediately hear something from Nick after that statement. "Something wrong? I didn't actually do anything to dumb last night right?" Nick sat down casually at the dining table waiting for the food and keeping his face away from the kitchen, wearing a somewhat neutral expression on his face and in his tone as he rested his head against his paw. "No.. nothing unusual, just a little clumsy on the way to bed like usual." Jack let out a sigh of relief. "Ah thank goodness, I know I'm pretty fun drunk but when I go too far I also know I can be a bit of a hassle. Now then, how would you like your eggs cooked?"

The drive for the two was filled with a very strange silence that afternoon. Their day off this time around was already off to a bit of a bumpy start. Nick was a little more quiet then usual during their breakfast and simply brushed it off as drinking too much last night. Jack accepted the answer at first but when they drove to get tea at the café and started people watching and making up stories for others like always, Nick seemed to be a little out of it. They would be laughing it up like usual for a few hours but every once and awhile something would catch him off guard and he'd start looking a little distant or just act strange.

"After her third husband left her she then had to once again change which finger she wanted to put her ring on, and the only finger left for a fourth marriage would be the pinky or in this case.. that fat thumb right there." Nick said smugly pointing at the ring on the female leopard's finger as she was laughing it up very loudly with a goat. Jack giggled a little bit at Nick's theory then thought about it for a second. "That is an interesting theory, I'm in fact inclined to believe it but I have something to add to it." Nick only kept his smug grin before pointing his finger at his partner. "Shoot buddy."

Jack looked back at the couple for a brief moment as Nick joined him in the view, seeing the two stare into each other's eyes. "I think the flings she had before were mostly when she was young and taking things too far. Probably married a guy after less than a year of getting to know them, maybe broke up with them almost just as soon when it didn't work. So after a while maybe she learned to hold back a bit, not go so crazy on all this marriage stuff or rushing a relationship. Now obviously we know this has to be a new marriage, pred prey and all, but the way they talk to each other and look at one another.. It's really subtle, but I get this small inkling that they've actually been together a very long time, and only recently got this opportunity.. Perhaps taking this marriage a bit more seriously."

Nick looked more carefully at the couple and could see his point, the doughy eye's they had for each other wasn't a simple attraction, something about it felt much... deeper, and they seemed incredibly used to one another. Nick giggled a little bit thinking about it and looking back at the Jack. "Perhaps your right bunny, maybe this is the first actual genuine relationship that's ever been in this café." Jack smiled and looked back over at Nick with a somewhat teasing but cutesy tone. "Well we we're here first right? So what does that make us?"

Nick looked down at the bunny staring right back at him as Jack wore a much more genuinely happier smile than his usual suave one, this kind of joke didn't happen often but Nick knew it was only really half serious. Normally he could always play off of it fairly cleverly, in the past he didn't even think much of it, he may be felt a few inklings of happiness from his statements knowing there was always a little truth to them, but not much else from his memory. But now when he said things like this and gave him that look, he felt his stomach tighten up ever so slightly, and feeling unable to face these emotions he instead ended up blushing lightly and turning his gaze away from him. "erhm yeah I suppose so.."

A bit of a silence broke between them as Jack's expression turned into a little bit of a frown as he turned his own head away from the fox and sipped on his tea. Throughout most of the day Nick continued to act like this on and off to the very confused and somewhat concerned Jack. It wasn't always the same thing but it was too consistent to be a fling, it happened again during a conversation to the movie theatres they went to later in the day and even right after it was over.

It was around 5:00pm and Jack was doing the driving sense yesterday it was Nick's turn to do it for the day, sense the two did so much together they specifically shared a vehicle for going out due to how awful the parking in the city was. "Uhh.. Nick." Jack looked over at the fox who was blankly staring at the window. Jeez day dreaming again? I've never seen him do it so intensely before.. "NICK!" Jack suddenly shouted out as the fox almost freaked out and sprang to life looking around. "What who where!?.."

Eventually his gaze met Jack's as he looked at the fox confusingly. "You uh.. doing all right there pal." Nick sank back into his seat as he realized what he had been doing. "Yeah I'm fine, just been doing a lot of thinking is all." Nick said dryly to his partner who wasn't too convinced. "You sure nothing weird happened last night?" Jack said questioning Nick once again. "Yes Jack... its fine." Nick said almost somewhat upset at having to get that memory re jogged into his system.

Jack stared at him for a moment and let out a sigh. "Well.. whatever you say mr. grumpy, if you don't want to talk about it we can maybe chat tomorrow during work." Jack seemed to stop trying to engage in conversation on the ride home as Nick continued to prolong the silence, going back into his thinking state.

Shit.. I'm making it so obvious something is on my mind; I thought I was smoother than this. I kept telling myself to just act natural, that nothing happened and it's just another day out with my friend, chilling out and having a good time. Heck it's not even as if every time I stare at him I think of that night or anything either, yet...

Nick looked over at Jack through the corner of his eye's briefly, The bunny had a very neutral expression on as he was staring in front of him driving the car. Yet at want point did it become so hard to look at him. I know it's partially to blame for that dumb kiss, the timing is obvious but... Nick thought back to the moment he was staring at the bunny at the café with that innocent smile of his, while other moments in the past few months of that occasionally happening flowed through his brain.

But that feeling I had at the cafe.. It didn't just appear overnight, on rare moments when I'm with him, I've had that same sort of feeling before, but much more.. sutble. And the more I think about that feeling, about what it is.._Images of Nick's previous partner Judy then started to pop into his head. _It reminds me of being with Judy, that feeling of such a strong happiness in being with a person that calling it simply liking them isn't sufficient to describe it. But when the hell did it start? When did I start having this feeling in the back of my mind, or my sub-consciousness? Nick almost strained himself as he tried his best to recollect the earliest memory of this phenomenon. _ I... I don't know.. just like with Judy it snuck up on me. But with her the feeling wasn't exactly the same as what's happening, now, it's a little different._

Images specifically of last night's events started to invade his thoughts again, the short and awkward drunken kiss they had and the blushed shocked face of the bunny after doing it.Even with Judy I had never once kissed her, we've hugged plenty, cuddles sometimes, and it once even got a little close to a kiss before but, it never really happened. Is that it? Am I having trouble controlling my feelings now after that kiss, like what I've been hiding so deeply has started to come to the fore front of my mind because of it. Am I really.. falling for him?

Suddenly Nick felt the car stop and the engine shut off as he suddenly sat up in his seat and looked confusingly at his surroundings and then to Jack, who was already staring right at him. "Well were here." Nick blinked and didn't respond right away, he quickly looked out the window of the car to see his apartments. "But.. I live almost 30 minutes away from the theatre." Jack nodded his head at the fox. "Yep, you were just sitting there in silence for basically most of those 30 minutes. I started to figure after a while that perhaps you just wanted to head home early instead of hanging out."

Nick's ears dropped down as he immediately felt bad for the way he's been acting. "I'm sorry Jack... I didn't mean to be like this I just.." Nick paused not wanting to say it as Jack sighed again giving him a soft but sad smile. "It's alright Nick, I understand. You just need a little time to yourself to I guess.. think. I don't know what's going on but, we can talk about it later." Nick could tell Jack was trying to be supportive of Nick as always despite the fact he clearly was feeling down himself from the whole situation and today. "..Jack, I-"

Suddenly a faint beeping sound interrupted their conversation. The looks on both of their faces turned deadly serious as they both took out a very small receiver in their pockets, a little red dot was popping in and out at specific intervals on the device with a small sound emitting from it. The both looked at each other for a brief moment before Jack instantly started up the car again and started flooring it to the ZPD.
