#5: Power Outage

"Nick... Wake up and go home," Judy mumbled softly.

The fox was curled up on sofa with Judy basically laying on top of him.
(It's the same night in 'Bored At the Office')She sat up, wearing his large oversized t-shirt, and tried pushing him to wake up. He didn't budge, and instead yawned.

"But I'm too tired..." He groaned.

She was half asleep, but heard the the still on and the rain that began to fall. A few seconds later it started to thunder. Judy's ears perked up, now she was wide awake. She moved off the sofa and stretched before glancing at the clock that read 12:45.

"Nick-"

The thunder cut her off, and as soon as it did the lights cut out, leaving the two in the dark. Judy was blind, so she reached out to the sofa and grabbed Nick's shirt.

"Nick, the powers out, wake up," she said, slightly alarmed.

She heard him shuffle a bit before feeling his breath very close.

"Carrots? You ok?" He asked huskily.

Judy held her breath," Yeah I'm fine but the powers out and you can't go home, it's storming."

"You mean I can stay the night?" He growled smugly, grabbing her.

She blinked before squirming. "H-hey that's not fair, I can't see in the dark."

"But I can."

Judy felt Nick's hands grab her body violently but she slipped away, falling back.

"N-Nick stop, I'm not playing!" She squeaked, trying to feel around in the dark.

Grabbing onto the wall, Judy felt something whisk against her shirt, making it raise up. She jumped and kicked a body, sending it flying back on the sofa. Judy balanced against the wall, fixing the shirt.

"Ow! Dang Carrots, watch where you kick me," he huffed.

"Nick I don't want to play this dumb game! You know I can't see anyway, it's not fair," Judy grumbled, finding herself in her small kitchen (This is in her new apartment which is bigger than the other one except she still has the annoying neighbors XD)

She clutched onto a chair, and looked around, her ears detecting sound. A creak was heard behind her, as if he was on all fours, which he was. Judy closed her eyes and imagined him crawling slowly toward her, stalking her. Waiting a few seconds, she leaped over him and toward the door. Grabbing onto the handle she turned and let her ears be erect. She heard soft taps against the carpet, he was making his way again toward her in a stalking motion.

With another hop, she landed behind him and kicked him in the back, making him the door.

"Dang it Judy," Nick heaved, breathing deeply.

"Hey you wanted to play," she snapped, sitting on the sofa.

Her ears perked up in hearing Nick shake his fur. Judy backed up and could imagine that he perched himself on the sofa ledge. When she heard him push off and jump, she rolled off the sofa and landed on the floor with a small oof. Judy heard Nick land on the empty couch, and quickly she tried crawling away.

"Get back here Whiskers," he chuckled deeply.

Nick rolled off too and landed behind Judy. He reached out and grabbed something soft and fluffy, then gave it a small squeeze. Judy yelled before using her back legs to kick Nick square in the face. Rule one about rabbits, never grab their tail.

"Watch your hands!" She squeaked.

Good thing it was dark, or else Nick would see how red Judy's face was. He whimpered and fell back, gripping his face. Judy instantly felt guilty and turned around. She scanned her paws on the floor, searching for Nick frantically.

"N-Nick? I'm sorry!" She stuttered, trying to find him.

Finally she found his softy furry body, feeling around for his face. She didn't hear him say anything, which made her think he was hurt.

"Are you ok? Talk Nic-ERK!" She was interrupted when he suddenly grabbed her shoulders violently.

Her whole body was being pushed as he had a tight grip on her. The weight of him made them fall forward with Nick on top of her, crushing her small body.

"Haha tricked you Carrots," he snickered, his breath was felt against her face.

She didn't speak, merely squirmed and made small squeaks.

"Carrots?" He asked worriedly.

Fear of breaking her, he jumped off and leaned over her. "Judy are you ok?"

With all her strength she punched him in the nose, scrambling away. He yelped very loudly, falling back.

"You jerk! You almost crushed me!" She yelled at him, running into a room.

Judy felt around for a door and closed it, thankfully she knew it was hers since it had carpet unlike her bathroom. She leaned against the door and sighed loudly, locking it quickly. It was dark, but she could hear Nick walking up to the door.

"Ah come on Judy, I was just playing! I'm sorry," he said halfheartedly.

Judy crossed her arms and huffed, banging her elbow against the door. "Go home Nick, now! I don't want to see you..."

She heard him sigh," You really want me to leave?"

Judy hesitated a few seconds, but answered firmly. "Yeah... Go."

He made no sound until she heard him walk to the front door of her apartment. The rain was still pouring hard and the thunder roared loudly. As her anger and frustration faded away, it was replaced with guilt. Was she really going to make him walk home to his crappy messy little apartment in the pouring rain? Her ears heard him open the door so she quickly unlocked hers.

"Wait Nick..." She mumbled, opening the door.

When the lightning flashed, she could see his facial expression. His brows were furrowed and his lips and teeth were clamped shut together. Nick looked frustrated and upset as he was still holding the handle. A couple rain drops came in, wetting Nick and the floor.

"Close the door," Judy ordered.

He obeyed. Again it was completely dark.

"I'm sorry Judy, I was just messin' around," he mumbled into the dark.

She walked toward him and slowly hugged him, inhaling his smell of dominance and male scents.

"Shhh... It's fine," she whispered, pulling back.

The lights began flickering until they came on completely. They both looked up, then at each other.

"Well let's go to bed, I'm beat," Nick yawned walking toward her bedroom.

Judy blinked before stopping him. "Hold up, you're sleeping on the couch."

Nick's ears fell," why not?"

"I don't want to risk anything happening, ya know?" She said nervously, a pink tint appearing on her cheeks.

He gave her a flat look," ah come on, I won't try anything, promise."

Judy rolled her eyes. "Yeah right Mr. Grabby."

She pecked him on the cheek and grabbed some blankets from her small hall closet. Giving them to him, Judy yawned.

"Goodnight Nick," she said to him once she was in her bed.

Nick struggled to get comfortable on her rather small couch.

"Yeah sure, goodnight Cottontail..." He grumbled.
