Jealous [Nick's POV]

Special thanks to grenda2911 for this idea!

"Nick, would you slow down and talk to me for one second?!" Judy called out after me as I stormed into my bedroom, slamming the door behind me and locking it.

I was so angry it was beyond comprehension. So we get a knock at the door during dinner, turns out it's one of Judy's old "friends" who just happened to pay her a visit. Now, I already knew there was something up with this guy as he was a fox, and no foxes are that folksy or kind. He seemed way too nice to be there on his behalf.

But, because Judy's too nice and I couldn't just shun her friend out, I let them in the living room while I washed dishes in the kitchen. I hated hearing Judy laughing and talking to someone who wasn't me, especially someone as sly and shifty as a fox, and I felt jealous. I wasn't even going to deny it. I was jealous.

I've liked Judy for quite some time, and ever since we became housemates, I thought there was a special connection between us.

But obviously not. And I had to find that out the hard way.

I walked into the living room to ask Judy where she wanted me to put her carrot bowl, and I walked in on the two of them. Kissing.

Her little "fox friend" noticed I was standing there, looking angry, and he left before Judy could say anything. And that was when I exploded.

"Nick, listen to me, it's not what it looked like!" She yelled through the door.

"Yes it was, Judy, you were kissing him. And you didn't even have the decency to take it outside!" I pointed out.

"I wasn't kissing him, he was kissing me," Judy retorted, sounding determined to get her point across. But I knew what I saw.

"That's what they all say," I muttered but I knew Judy heard me.

She paused for a moment before speaking again.

"Why do you even care?" She asked defensively.

I thought for a moment before answering. I cared because I was jealous, because I loved Judy and it hurt me to see her fall for someone else. I knew it was selfish but it was one of those "you belong to me" things.

"I don't," I lied and I heard Judy scoff from the other side of the door.

"Yeah, and I shovel manure for a living," Judy replied sarcastically and I felt a smile creep up onto my face. "Nick, you obviously do care if you're mad and I just want to know why. You're my best friend and I care about you. So come on, tell me what's going on."

Ooh...friend zoned to the max right there. But she was right. Before anything else, I was Judy's best friend, and best friends are supposed to trust eachother. I sighed in defeat and unlocked the door, opening it to reveal Judy with a sad smile on her face. I took a step to the side to let her in and closed the door again after.

"So...what? Are you jealous? Are you...are you...what?" She asked, clasping her paws behind her back.

"I...was jealous," I admitted in a sigh. "I just didn't like that guy because...I wanted to be the only fox in your life. Having that role made me feel special, like there is a place in the world for me. But I guess that you're too loveable to only have one fox as your best friend."

At the same time, it hurt to tell Judy everything, yet it felt like something heavy was being lifted off of my back. The sympathy in Judy's eyes was visible, as her ears drooped down to the sides of her head as her eyes grew larger in worry. At that point, just looking at her face hurt me.

"Nick..." Judy began but didn't know how to finish.

"It's ok Carrots," I said sadly. "You're just one of those things I can't have."

I was about to walk away when Judy grabbed me by the arm, causing me to turn around again to face her. With her other paw, she grabbed me by my tie and pulled me down to her height. Before I even had a chance to process what was going on, Judy pressed her lips to mine in a longing fashion, like she had been waiting for so long to kiss me.

Of course, I kissed her back, but it took me a while to get accustomed to the new feeling inside of my stomach, like a giddy anticipation. Also the way I was standing kind of threw me off a little. But it still felt amazing.

When we pulled away, we just stood there with our foreheads touching.

"You know," Judy said, breaking the silence. "That fox came onto me. His lips never felt as good as yours."
