It's called a hustle, sweetheart.

He didn’t like this feeling that he was.. well.. feeling right now. He didn’t like it at all. He didn’t like the fact that she was pulling away and avoiding him. Nick saw this motion, his ears perking up at the sniff. No no don’t cry please- His eyes focused on the back of the bunny, a frustrated groan escaping through his teeth. Just say it Nick. Just blurt it out and get it over with. 

He thought for a second that she could be faking it, but what if she wasn’t? He couldn’t take that risk.

Why was Nick nervous? He shouldn’t be nervous. He was only meeting Judy’s parents, and who knows how many siblings? Maybe he was more nervous about how they all would react to him? Judy did have fox repellent on her when they first met, so did her family have something against foxes..? Gosh, he just didn’t want to scare them or give a bad impression.

As the train pulled to a stop Judy’s eyes eye widened and she gripped Nick’s hand and looked up to him. “ Oh! And we’re not living together!!.. “ She said just before the doors opened. “ JUDY! “ Her family all exclaimed. All two hundred plus siblings and her Parents both waiting on the landing. “ Hello everyone!! “ She shouted back as she pulled Nick with one hand and her travel bag in the other. Once off the train she dropped both hands free and ran up to hug both of her parents. “ I missed you guys so much! .. Mom, Dad. This is Nick! “ Judy introduced. “ Nice to meet you dear. I’m Bonnie, Judy’s mother. And this is Stu, Judy’s father. We are both glad you could make it with our little girl. “ Bonnie commented and walked over hugging Nick. “ Nice to meet you Nicholas. “ Her father Stu stated reaching out for a hand shake. “ You still have that Fox repellent right hun? “ Stu asked out of the corner of his mouth toward Judy. “ Stu!! “ Bonnie corrected her husband and took Nick by the hand. “ Come on hun lets get you two back home. “ Bonnie added.

Judy looked to her father and sighed. “ Oh, sweet cheese and crackers.. Dad, really?! “ Judy stated before grabbing her bag and heading after her mother and Nick.

He looked down at her, returning the smile. Just be you. “Thanks Carrots. I’ll make sure to be on my best behavior as well. Just for you.” Nick proceeded to get up from his seat and follow the bunny to the window with an even bigger smile on his face, keeping a good grip around her hand. She was so happy that it was contagious. Who wouldn’t be happy to be home and see their family? 

Not living together? What did she mean by tha- The doors had opened by now as his vision focused on the crowd of rabbits greeting them. He was surprised by how many there were, but rabbits were good at multiplying so it made sense at the same time. 

Nick was pulled by Judy, but kept up with her as they made their way off the train. As she went to hug her parents, he stood there with a smile, just enjoying their reunion. Once Judy introduced him, he gave a small wave, focusing on the mother rabbit that was approaching him. “Nice to meet you two as well, Miss Bonnie.” He gently returned the hug to her, liking how friendly she was already. 

Once the hug was over, his focus now shifted over to Judy’s father. “Nice to meet you sir.” Nick gave a grin, grabbing Stu’s hand, giving it a friendly shake. His ears perked up when he heard the question being asked. So Stu gave Judy the repellent? Nick guessed that Stu was still wary about foxes, and as offended as Nick was, there was no need to make a big deal out of it. He just had to ignore that comment and move on. 

Judy was finally able to drag Nick and herself away from everyone else. “ I’m sorry for my dad. It isn’t really just about foxes.. I think he is just more afraid after what happened when I was younger thats all. He means well and I know he will come around, don’t worry! “ Judy reassured him. She stood on her tip toes and gave him a peck on the cheek. She then walked into the kitchen where her mother was preparing a large vegetable stew.

“No need to worry about it Carrots. I can understand if he’s cautious and all. He’s just a father making sure his daughter will be alright.” He smiled from the soft kiss, giving her head a gentle pat before following her into the kitchen. The stew was smelling great, he couldn’t wait to sit down and eat a nice meal.

His eyes widened as he stopped for a moment due to the flick of his nose. She was teasing him.. She was challenging him. He gave a cough to clear up his throat, regaining his posture.

“Aw man Carrots-” He reached out for her a bit. “Come on Judy..” Dang it, she really was serious about this wasn’t she? “I really care about you.” Eh, not the exact words she was looking for now was she? Now he was feeling scared since he took a look around them. If he did shout it, oh boy, he would get so many looks.
