Huehuehue...😊
Also, I apologise for the terrible title of this one-shot but I didn't have a name for it. Hence, responsible was born 😂

~*~

I knew Judy was responsible - knew she wasn't one to make poor decisions - and even when she did, I respected them. But this was crazy. Dating a criminal that we literally just arrested about hour ago? Call me selfish, but I couldn't even think that through enough to respect it.

"What's wrong with it?" Judy asked defensively, filling up her mug with coffee.

We were in the lobby of the ZPD taking a break from the interrogation with the mentioned criminal, when I finally decided to console Judy about her decision.

"Uh, hello? Judy, he's a criminal!" I pointed out like it was obvious.

"And?" Judy replied, raising an eyebrow at me. "Everyone deserves a second chance, Nick. I've given you far too many to count."

"Hey, don't bring me into this!" I exclaimed, and watched as she rolled her eyes. "Judy, he's. A. Criminal. You can't trust him."

"Right, and I suppose I can't trust you either?" She asked, turning around with a paw on her hip to glare at me.

I was silent for a moment, not really sure of what to say or how to respond to that. So when Judy sighed, I let her continue.

"You're supposed to be my best friend, Nick, and friends are supposed to be there for eachother and support their decisions. Can you just be happy for me for once?"

I sighed before patting her on the head, a sad smile creeping up onto my face. "Yeah. I'll be happy for you, Carrots."

Judy smiled a smile that made me smile internally, if that made much sense at all.

"Great, because him and I are going on a date this Sunday."

*Time skip*

That Sunday, the Sunday where Judy and the criminal we caught, who had now been named as Trey, were out on their date was the worst Sunday ever. Not only was Sunday movie night for her and I, but when she butt dialled me, she sounded really happy: laughing, joking, talking. She was having a great time. And I was jealous! Plus, I knew this guy was shifty, as he worked for these drug smugglers downtown from where I live, and he is not good news. But I couldn't tell Judy that because she'd call me overprotective and jealous, which I was, but she wasn't supposed to know that!

So, instead of watching stupid action movies all night, I paced around my living room, pondering over, well - everything. If Judy and Trey decide they want to see eachother again, then I'm screwed. They're gonna get married and have beautiful bunny babies - beautiful on Judy's behalf - and grow old together. And what will I be? A third wheel! Nah-ah, not for me! But I couldn't turn into a home wrecker and ruin their relationship, Judy would never forgive me! Maybe I should just let her happy...

My thoughts were cut short by a knock at my door, and I made a note to myself to continue my rant  after I tended to my visitor. I opened the door to see none other than my beautiful grey bunny, dressed in a purple dress that really complimented her eyes. Her eyes...which had tears in them...

"Judy? Are you ok?" I asked in concern.

Judy shook her head and sniffled, and on her right arm was a nasty cut and her bag was gone..

"Did he hurt you?" I asked, the anger rising in my voice.

Judy took her time before nodding, and she ended up in a fit of tears again. I was so angry at that point, that I could go and kill the guy, but seeing Judy so frail and broken in front of me made me even more vulnerable to comforting her. I knelt down and scooped her up into a hug, right on my doorstep, ignoring the questionable looks I was getting off of other animals walking down the street.

"I- was so stupid," Judy hiccuped between sobs.

"Hey, come on, don't say that," I said lightly. "He fooled you like he would've fooled anyone."

"You were right," she sobbed. "You told me so. So go on, rub it in my face."

"Judy, I'm not gonna rub it in your face, you didn't know," I replied sotftly, inhaling the scent of her freshly washed fur. "All we know now is that he's a shifty lowlife with a dang good poker face. But you know who is even more shifty? Me. And I'll go straight over to him and knock him out if you want me to."

Judy giggled at that, lifting her face out of my chest to look up at me.

"It's ok, but thank you for the offer," Judy nodded quietly.

I winked. "No prob, now come on. I have Fast and Fur-rious waiting for us in the living room."

I stood up from hugging Judy, and she smiled brightly at me, wiping away her tears.

"Ok!"
