![]() She smiled and dug her nose into the fur on his side, right on the border where brilliant red turned into a lighter cream color.Ī few minutes passed between them in tranquil silence. "It means I don't need to make an excuse to get this close to you," he said huskily, giving her a little squeeze. He brought his forearm up around her shoulder and draped it over the length of her side. Her feet dug underneath his tail, causing a wonderful feeling of warmth and pressure to radiate onto her bitter toes. "And the second?" She snuggled in closer to him, resting her head on his shoulder as he laid onto his back. "First is that my fur is much thicker than yours, so if we don't have it cold I'll turn into a ball of fire every night." "Two reasons," he answered while reaching over her head to turn her nightstand light off before joining her under the covers. I still don't know why must we keep it so cold in here at night," she grumbled as she lifted the blankets up and scooted herself into the crisp freshly washed sheets. He finished his apple with a few more chomps before tossing the core into the bin by the door. ![]() Judy bit her lip from the way his breath tickled her skin before giving him a little shove and rolling him over to his side of the bed. He brushed his nose along her fur while keeping his eyes on her. "Doesn't mean I still can't push your buttons if I so choose," he replied back coyly, turning his head to give her leg a quick kiss. Besides, I believe the words out of your mouth a few hours ago were 'please no more'." Chief would never let us take a weekend off again after that. "You and I both know we need some sleep tonight, and if I let you get any closer we'll no doubt fall asleep during patrol tomorrow. She gave him a confident glare before folding her arms across her chest. The sultry look on his face would look silly on any other mammal, but that arrogant grin often succeeded at riling her up. She laughed and lifted her long foot to rest on his shoulder, halting his advance. "I can't have my partner be foxier than me." "If I'm gonna take a bunny like you to bed, I should at least look like I deserve it," he said as he began sliding himself onto the bed towards her in a playful prowl. The sly smile on his face made her immediately regret asking. "What? A guy can't eat a little healthy? I gotta watch my figure if I'm gonna compete with you," he said, giving her a wink. She looked up at him and smiled as he observed her lying in bed. Judy tossed the tablet onto her bedside table and took in a deep breath.

"Things aren't looking any better in Griño," she said sadly, turning her tablet towards Nick who leaned over the bed frame to take a closer look. She rolled her eyes and peered up from her tablet to see the fox make his way into the bedroom, tossing an apple between his paws. I can hear you caring," Nick called out from the kitchen. As she read she huffed a heavy sigh, one that was loud enough for her roommate to hear. There were likely real horrors from the tragedy she would never see. The images on screen were terrible enough, but she knew only the tamest could be published in the news.
