The musty and dusty scent was the first sensation that registered in the sleepy fox's mind. A scent the fox wasn't as accustomed to when compared to the boy smell of his own apartment. The light gently touching his eyelids was the second unfamiliar sensation, his own room was organised in a way to keep the lazy fox napping as much as he desired. Lastly, the unmistakable feeling of mattress springs recoiling was the third sensation he felt, the jolt enough to register consciously and wake the fox enough to spark his eyes open. Judy, the small bunny cop he'd entangled himself with stretched in the morning sunbeam, the fox peaking at the slight glow through her ears and around her soft grey fur and oversized t-shirt. He couldn't help but admire her angelic outline, even if his body still told him to close his eyes and go back to sleep. But instead, he just admired long enough to catch the bunny glancing back at him. Closing his eyes quickly after making eye contact.
He just heard the bunny giggle, his ears twitching as he listened to the soft pitter patter of her fluffy feet towards the bed, before another spring-loaded pounce onto the mattress next to him. ``Nuh-Uh-Uh! You're not getting out of this that easily Nick!'' Judy prodded at the predator, gently shaking his shoulders a little. ``Wakey Wakey, you lazy fox. I'm not letting you miss a single day of training.'' But still the fox didn't budge. Judy simmered down her playful intensity when it became apparent that the fox really wasn't budging. Instantly realising she might have misread how playful the sleepy fox might be. ``Hey, you okay big guy?'' Judy's tone immediately caring as she sat next to Nick, her forceful shoving now turned into a soft rub of his shoulder fur.
Nick half opened his eyes and gave a genuine sigh. ``Can't we just skip a day... Just one?''
Judy couldn't help but give a sharp exhale out of her nose, hiding a knowing laugh. She was right on the money when she thought he wanted out of training, but she also knew the fox was being serious. She didn't want to neglect his feelings. ``Well, no... Not really~'' She tried her best to sound compassionate. Like a friend gently giving you bad news. ``Ya know... You might feel a little better with some food in ya! I could always fetch you something to eat~'' Judy's tone returning to her playful self as she slowly brought her paw down from Nick's shoulder, down past his fluffy chest right to his even fluffier belly.
Nick couldn't help but smile as he rolled his eyes. This bunny was always trying to get an excuse to see his teeth in action. Certainly, his currently big toothy smile wasn't helping simmer this bunny down though. ``Haha... No, not right now.'' Nick returned to his melancholy with a sigh. ``I dunno... It just feels... exhausting... I know that's not an excuse but...'' Nick looked at Judy in her large purple eyes, nothing but care and understanding shined through her pupils. ``Can't we just sleep in a bit and cuddle.''
Judy's heart melted. The fox's request sounding so sincere and defeated. It was hard to hear yet it felt so romantic. ``Awww... Nick...'' Judy cupped Nick's face, it was hard to hold her own composure seeing him so down in the dumps. But the last thing she needed to do was cry right now so she held herself together by gently kissing the fox on the nose. ``... Look... Okay.... Clawhauser does owe me a favour... I could probably get him to cover my morning session... Heavens knows he's not going to be good at it though... And I can probably only do this Just this once... Okay? And we still got to go in later today for the afternoon.''
As Judy negotiated, she shuffled into the bed and under the covers, feeling the shirtless fox's warm fluff as she cuddled in closer to him. Nick loved every second of this little bunny cuddling up to him, but still a pit in his stomach lingered. He felt guilty, even though this bunny clearly was just as much into the extended morning cuddles as he was, as she snuggled up to him close. Burying her face into his chest fur like a motorboat before looking up to him with a cheeky smile.
``Gosh, I swear you just keep getting softer~'' Judy remarked as she went back to snuggling in close. She could tell Nick wasn't fully out of his funk just yet, but was just so lovey-dovey she couldn't help but flirt.
Her attempt at trying to flirt with him did at least bring him a smile, so it was successful. ``Hehe, hey, if my fluffy chest bothers you so much, you could always just be big spoon.'' Nick clearly twisting Judy's words.
``hahaha, Wanna be little spoon big guy?'' Judy trying to be as sultry as she could be while saying such a dumb phrase. She was clearly having fun with this impromptu cuddle session.
``I could give it a go~'' Judy watched Nick's face light up, it seemed the funk Nick was feeling was slowly fading. If all it took was her being big spoon and some extra cuddles, she certainly wasn't complaining. The two of them making an awkward shuffle as Nick turned his back towards Judy while they stayed under the covers. Judy outstretched as much as she could while Nick curled up, Judy barely able to contain the Fox's form. Her only saving grace being her long feet able to just cup around Nick. His tail caught firmly in between her legs, his involuntary swishes tickling at her with each passing moment.
``I can see why I'm normally little spoon... Your tail is Nuts!''
``Hahaha, well if you didn't, haha, keep it hostage, I'm sure it would calm down, hahaha!'' Nick trying to downplay just how ticklish it was feeling his tail be trapped in between a bunny's strong legs.
Judy shuffled up and along Nick's back, her head now behind his. His tail finally free from her clutches. ``Is this better?''
``Haha, a little bit. Although It does feel a little less cuddly now, huh?''
``Hmmm... Maybe...'' Judy agreed, but she had ideas to remedy that. Shoving her face into Nick's neck scruff and nibbling gently away at his softer neck folds.
``Hey! Hehehe, Stop that! Hehe, it tickles!'' Nick could feel Judy's big front teeth nibble away at him playfully. It wasn't sharp, but it certainly felt strange.
``Oh? Does it now?'' Judy took an opportunity to nibble a little deeper. Nick didn't even attempt to stop her, he just tried to endure the ticklish nibbles.
``Yes! Hehe, it does. Stop that!'' Nick giggling the whole time.
``Oh! So, when I'm little spoon you get to nibble plenty of neck, but when I'm big spoon?'' Judy cut herself off by nibbling neck.
``hahaha, Yes! Look, it's not my fault you taste like bunny!'' Nick pleaded his case.
Judy scoffed with faux offence. ``Oh? Well, it's not my fault you taste like fox!'' Judy bit down and nibbled again, this time a little harder, knowing exactly how hard she could take it without actually hurting Nick. Trailing up Nick's neck to softly nibble at his ears, Nick now actively turning around to stop this little criminal in action. Judy not giving up without a fight, scramble crawling out of his reach as much as she could while getting her nibbles in. Nick finally grabbing Judy by the scruff of her neck to subdue her. Nick almost out of breath from laughing so much at the playful onslaught. Even while holding Judy outstretched, she still made little chitters of her front teeth as she playfully growled.
``I think you've gone savage Judy...'' Nick had the biggest dumb smile on his face. Judy's mission was accomplished.
``Let me nibble!'' Judy just kept a play angry face on as she was held out of reach of any of Nick's softer parts. Plus, if she really wanted to, she could quite easily slip out of Nick's grasp. It was still fun to be held like this though.
Nick just silenced the savage bunny with a kiss, the two of them embracing for as long as they desired. Nick feeling Judy's soft twitching nose against his own as the bunny very quickly changed demeanour from faux angry to intensely passionate. The bunny barely wanting to breathe, wanting to stay in this for as long as she could. Nick was the first to pull away, Judy giving him only a split second to breathe before she thrust herself back onto the fox lovingly. It was in this moment, that she knew she wanted exactly what this fox wanted, more lazy moments together. More playful moments. Just more moments. She didn't want to let the fox go, it had almost broken her heart to see him so down, but now in this moment she was just so happy to know he was happy. Nick pulled away from the needy bunny for just a moment longer than before, enough to poke his snout up to breathe as Judy went right back to nibbling at his neck at a moment's notice.
``Hehe, you are such a sly bunny... Was all that kissing just a ploy to get more nibbles?''
``Yes!'' Was Judy's simple admission. Although it was a lie.
Nick revelled in all this affection, looking down at the bunny kissing and biting at his neck. He couldn't imagine what choices he had made in his life to land himself in this position. Whipped by some bunny cop who had actually managed to rope him into crime fighting of all things. He had no idea why she took such a shinning to him, but he could list a million reasons why he took a shinning to her. But he knew that he couldn't be a bad influence on this innocent little bunny, there was still plenty of time to get ready for training.
Nick sighed. ``Alright... Alright... You win, no more nibbles... You don't have to call that favour in... You've convinced me. I'll get up.''
``Hm?'' Judy paused her kisses. ``Oh, really now?'' Judy's ears flopped to the sides seemingly sarcastically as she placed a hind paw in the elastic of Nick's boxers. Nick a little surprised at her sudden change of behaviour. Although the more he thought about it, she really was getting carried away with that kiss earlier. ``Don't want to stay here with me? Fine... But You still have to pass me my phone so I can call Clawhauser to cover for me.''
Judy practically crawled over Nick as she kissed at his neck continuously, her hind paw still lingering. Threatening to undress him at a moment's notice. ``You sure?'' Nick reaffirmed. Double checking the bunny's intentions.
Judy tugged at his boxers further. ``I'm sure... Phone's over there big guy~'' Judy gestured to the bedside stand. As Nick slowly passed the phone back to Judy who stayed on top of him as she searched her contacts and dialled. Still kissing Nick as the phone rang until the sound of a curious cheetah answered.
``Oh, hey Judy? What's up?'' The cheetah on the other side a little confused.
Judy stopped her kissing as she placed a paw on Nick's muzzle, signifying to the fox to zip it. ``Hey Clawhauser, Sorry for the early call but... You know that favour you owe me...''
``Huh?''
``Remember? About that mouse?''
``Oh! Yep yep! Hahaha, yep, what do ya need?'' Nick could hear Clawhauser's nervous laughter through the phone. It intrigued Nick deeply.
``Well, I'm calling it in. I'm going to need you to cover my morning training session.''
``Really? That's it?'' Clawhauser was prepared for a much more drastic favour, but he was glad it was something so simple. ``I mean, yeah sure. I got you Judy.'' Judy gave Nick a celebratory kiss as Clawhauser talked. ``Shall I let your favourite student know you won't be able to make it?'' Clawhauser teased through the call. Judy's face immediately turned pink as she glanced towards Nick. She'd just been caught red handed.
Nick couldn't let this opportunity pass him by, he had to say something. ``Don't worry, I'm pretty sure he already knows~'' Nick teased Judy further, her face completely flush as she started stammering.
The other line was completely silent for a moment. ``... Oh M Goodness! Eeeeeeee!'' Clawhauser was stunned for a moment, before letting out a high-pitched squeal. Judy had to hold the phone away from her ears. ``You have to tell me EVERYTHING!''
``Clawhauser! Zip it!'' Judy was as red as a tomato. ``I'll tell you later... You got my shift, okay?''
``Yep! You worry about nothing okay! Just have fun you love bugs! Hehehehe!'' Clawhauser giggled maniacally through the phone. Judy Just hung up on him and hung her head in embarrassment. This was not how she was planning on that call going. It was supposed to be way cooler.
``So favourite student huh? Should I be worried?''
``If I hear you mention that to anyone, I'll make you run an extra 20 laps, got it?'' Judy got a bit of her moxy back.
``Yes Ma'am!'' Nick played along with the assertive bunny, who seemingly slipped into her drill sergeant persona.
``Good boy! Now... Where was I?''
``Neck nibbles?'' Nick suggested.
``Yes, Neck nibbles!''
