The car sputtered to a halt, the metal strained as Nick moved the gear stick upward putting it into park. The car was a hatchback and looked as if it was on its last miles. The leather was peeling with its stuffing coming out, it smelled like old fast food because of all the discarded bags and wrappers, the air conditioner only blew out noxious fumes and the suspension was faulty. Judy Hopps was in a disgusting, death trap.

Judy held a small scowl, she kicked out her foot hitting a greasy paper bag and cringed immediately for having touched it.

"Nick, this is unacceptable!" She said lifting her knee up, not wanting to touch anything else.

Nick didn't seemed to take notice. "You mean taking you to the drive-in? Wow, I never thought of you as a chauvinist."

"I mean the state of your car-" she responded dryly.

"I think it was made in California." He replied giving her a half-lidded look, holding a slight smirk.

"Nick!-"

"Alright, sorry for the mess." He shrugged, not really caring. "-let's go in the back, I already set the seats down and set up a blanket."

Judy held her nose in the air seeing the vomit green wool blanket. She felt the hairs in the back of her neck stand on end from seeing large yellowing stains. Nick immediately sat down on the dirty piece of fabric and pulled out a couple of round pillows for comfort. Judy suspected they must have been stuffed with molds.

When Nick invited her to go to a drive-in, she thought it might be a great night for both of them to spend time together, but she was starting to regret her choice of ever stepping foot in his car. She tipped-toed carefully over her seat, finding one clean spot in the corner of the blanket to sit down. She hugged her knees in tight. She looked like a deranged health patient from the way she stuck to the corner. Nick leaned his back against the back of the driver seat with one brow raised towards her.

"Why don't you kick back and stretch your legs a little?" He said, wiggling his toes.

"I'm very comfortable here, thanks-" she replied dryly, looking out the window in front of them. They were parked in the second lane behind another car, a large white screen was set up and it wasn't long till the flicker of the projection created the images of the black and white movie. Cheesy music began to play introducing the title of the film.

"The case of the stolen rubies?" Judy read out loud. "A mystery movie?"

"Yup- your favorite, Whiskers." Smiled Nick with his paws behind his head. "You might actually figure out who-dun-it before the movie ends with your detective skills."

She leaned forward giving him a warm smile. "Really?-but isn't these type of movies boring to you?"

"But not to you, right?" He reached underneath the seat taking out a bag of chips.

Judy's smile widened. She knows how Nick acts around these type of movies and that's by taking out his phone, looking at anything else that interests him. She peered back to the front seat finding the discarded phone in the cup holder, turned off. She placed a hand over her mouth hiding her ever widening grin. Nick had his eyes on the screen, stuffing his face with potato chips trying to look interested in the plot.

"I bet the butler did it-" he said, his voice muffled by his crunching. He swallowed, licking his lips clean from salt.

He slowly felt himself being pulled by his tie. He blinked turning away from the movie only to hit his nose against Judy's. He swallowed suddenly from her piercing amethyst eyes. Judy had his tie in between both her paws, her eyes half-open in a flirtatious gaze. Nick's ears went back, his eyes moving back to the screen and to her.

He nervously chuckled. "Uh...y-yeah Whiskers? Something you..um need?"

He felt her paws climb his tie making him turn still. She shook her head, her small nose hitting his own.

"No..." She whispered, her tender voice made him shiver internally. Her hypnotic gaze trapping him in her grip. Her small fingers found themselves on his neck, gently stroking at his soft and itchy coat. He let out a soft whine feeling her fingers scratch against his neck. His tail wagging happily.

He let out a soft hum. "Hmm-then what?"

She leaned in, pressing her lips against his. His questioned answered. She pulled away, snickering at the sight of the dopey look he had on his face. He shook his head and gave her a sly grin. Judy put out her paw.

"Thank you, Nick-you have no idea how happy you made me."

"I'm just that great, Whiskers." He stated proudly with his chest out. "But let's have some real fun..."

He grabbed at her shoulder pulling her away from her corner. Judy resisted, knowing what he was planning.

"Ew Nick no! I'm not laying down on your disgusting blanket!" She yelled out trying to pull away. He let out a loud laugh.

"Is that it? Okay fine!" He pulled her forward as he fell back. She landed over his chest with his arms locked around her waist, refusing to let her go. She put out her paws trying to lift herself up while she laughed.

"Nick!-let me go you jerk!" her face fell back down over his chest, she felt him laughed along with her.

"Aww come on Judy, I can't hug my favorite bunny?"

"Eww Nick, my paw just touched a stain!"

"Well that paw should have been on me." He said slyly making her snort out in laughter. She slapped his chest playfully.

"I'm serious! Let me go, I thought we were watching a movi-!" She was silenced by his lips colliding with hers in a passionate embrace. Her cheeks immediately heated up from his heated kiss. She let out a soft whimper feeling his paw run up and down her spine. She clutched at his shirt with each stroke down her back. She pulled away only for Nick to begin peppering her cheek. Her ears folded inward from his ticklish touch.

She let out a small giggle. "N-Nick! That's enough!" She shoved his face away finally having some space. He grinned underneath her paw.

"Do you want me to get some popcorn?" He asked after he removed her paw away from his lips.

Judy tilted her head in thought. "Can you get me some carrot sticks and churros too?"

"Sure-" he sat up. "Can I borrow some money?"
