Sparks of love || Judy [Zootopia 2]

The streets of Zootopia were buzzing with excitement as summer rolled in, the city coming alive with festivals and celebrations. But beneath the surface, a new case had the ZPD on edge—a mysterious reptile named Gary had arrived in town, and wherever he went, chaos seemed to follow. As reports of strange incidents began to flood the precinct, Officer Judy Hopps and her new partner, Y/n, were assigned to track him down and figure out what was really going on.

Judy, ever the optimist, was determined to crack the case quickly. She was focused, professional, and dedicated to her work—everything a good cop should be. Y/n, on the other hand, was a little more laid-back, with a knack for making Judy laugh even in the most stressful situations. They hadn't been partners for long, but there was an undeniable chemistry between them that Judy couldn't quite explain.

One afternoon, after yet another fruitless lead on Gary's whereabouts, Judy and Y/n found themselves taking a break at one of Zootopia's quieter parks. The sun was setting, casting a warm orange glow over the city, and for a moment, they allowed themselves to relax.

"You know, Y/n," Judy began, stretching her legs out on the bench. "I never imagined this case would be so complicated. Gary's always one step ahead of us."

Y/n leaned back, watching the sunset with a small smile. "That's what makes it fun, right? The challenge, the thrill of the chase. Besides, we'll catch him eventually. We're a pretty good team, if I do say so myself."

Judy couldn't help but smile at that. "Yeah, we are."

They sat in comfortable silence for a while, the only sounds the rustle of leaves and the distant hum of traffic. Judy found herself stealing glances at Y/n, noticing things she hadn't before—the way the evening light softened their features, the way they absentmindedly tapped their fingers against the bench in time with some silent rhythm. There was something about Y/n that made her feel... different. It was like a spark had been lit inside her, and she wasn't sure what to make of it.

As the days passed and their investigation into Gary deepened, so did the bond between Judy and Y/n. They spent hours together, combing through evidence, interviewing witnesses, and chasing down leads. But it wasn't just the work that brought them closer—it was the moments in between. The shared jokes, the late-night stakeouts, the way they could talk about anything and everything.

One night, after a particularly exhausting day, they found themselves back at Y/n's apartment, too tired to go home. Y/n handed Judy a drink and collapsed onto the couch beside her, their shoulders brushing. It was a small, innocent touch, but it sent a jolt of electricity through Judy's body.

"Today was rough," Y/n sighed, rubbing their eyes. "But we're getting closer, I can feel it."

Judy nodded, taking a sip of her drink. "Yeah... We'll catch him soon. I just hope no one else gets hurt before we do."

Y/n turned to look at her, their expression serious. "We'll protect them, Judy. We'll protect this city. Together."

There was something in Y/n's voice, something in the way they looked at her, that made Judy's heart skip a beat. She opened her mouth to say something—anything—but the words caught in her throat. All she could do was stare back at Y/n, her mind racing with thoughts and feelings she wasn't sure she was ready to confront.

"Y/n, I..." Judy began, but she was cut off by the sudden ringing of Y/n's phone. The moment shattered, and Judy quickly looked away, feeling a mix of relief and disappointment.

Y/n answered the call, their demeanor shifting back to business. It was a tip on Gary—a sighting at a warehouse on the outskirts of town. They needed to move, and fast.

As they geared up and headed out into the night, Judy tried to push her feelings aside. This wasn't the time for distractions. But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't shake the memory of that almost-moment, or the way Y/n had looked at her.

The warehouse was dark and silent when they arrived, the air thick with tension. They moved cautiously, their senses on high alert. Judy's heart pounded in her chest—not just from the danger, but from the proximity of Y/n, the way they moved in sync, their unspoken understanding.

They found Gary in the shadows, his reptilian eyes gleaming with malice. The confrontation was quick and intense, with Gary using every trick in the book to try and escape. But Judy and Y/n were faster, more determined. Together, they managed to corner him, bringing him down with a combination of skill and teamwork.

As they cuffed Gary and called for backup, the adrenaline rush began to fade, leaving Judy feeling light-headed and shaky. She leaned against a nearby wall, catching her breath.

Y/n approached her, concern etched on their face. "You okay, Judy?"

She nodded, managing a smile. "Yeah... I'm good. We did it."

Y/n smiled back, their relief palpable. "We make a pretty good team, don't we?"

"Yeah," Judy agreed softly. "We really do."

As they stood there, the weight of the night finally catching up with them, Judy realized something: this wasn't just about the case. It wasn't just about being partners. What she felt for Y/n—it was more than that. It was real, and it was terrifying, and it was everything she hadn't expected to find.

"Y/n," she began, her voice trembling slightly. "There's something I need to tell you."

Y/n looked at her, their eyes searching hers. "What is it, Judy?"

She took a deep breath, steeling herself. "I think I've fallen for you. I know this is probably the worst possible time to say it, but... I can't keep it to myself anymore."

For a moment, Y/n was silent, their expression unreadable. Judy's heart pounded in her chest, every second feeling like an eternity. But then Y/n's face softened, a warm smile spreading across their lips.

"Judy... I've been feeling the same way," Y/n admitted, their voice gentle. "I just didn't know how to tell you."

Relief and joy flooded through Judy, and before she knew it, they were both laughing, the tension melting away like snow in the sun. It wasn't perfect—it was messy and complicated, and there were still a thousand things they needed to figure out. But in that moment, none of it mattered.

As they walked out of the warehouse, Gary safely in custody and the city at peace once more, Judy and Y/n knew that whatever came next, they would face it together. And that, more than anything, was worth fighting for.
