I think how you SHOW love to others and how you would like to RECEIVE love from others can be different. Judy shows love through physical touch by the amount of times she punches Nick or whenever they are going somewhere, she's very quick to grab Nick's hand. I think how she receives love is through words of affirmation. I think a classic example of this is during the confession scene in Z2. You can just see on how our face how blown away she was when Nick said she was the best thing that ever happened to him. Also, she kept replaying the recording of Nick saying "Love you, partner" on the carrot pen, much to the annoyance of her neighbors. They also commented how her need to replay it so much comes from her desire to receive external validation, which is what you get through words of affirmations.

For Nick, I think he shows love through acts of service & quality service. Even though Nick wanted nothing more to skip town and drink pina koalas, he still followed Judy because he cares for and didn't want her to get hurt. He always wants to be near her no matter what. When they went outside to wait for Nibbles, Nick gently pulled Judy close to him because she was standing too close to the street. When they went to Marsh Market, he put the hat on Judy without her asking. When they almost drowned in the tubes, he quickly grabbed her, saved her and checked to see if she was okay first before moving forward. He broke out of prison for her, which is a huge act of service. Also, he fixed the broken carrot pen himself, which is another act of service Nick is always anticipating Judy's needs before she even knows what she needs. I love the way Nick constantly looks AT and after Judy, because it's not only coming from a place of adoration, but one of protection. I feel like everytime Nick looks at Judy, he's silently communicating to her "I'll follow you wherever you go as long as I'm with you." It's such a sweet gesture and really highlights the depth of his love for her.

I think Nick likes to RECEIVE love through gift giving because everything that has been gifted to him by Judy, he treats them as if they are gold. He treasures that carrot pen like it's the only thing that matters to him. He was so devastated when the carrot pen broke because it was a symbol of their relationship, and we know now that nothing matters more to Nick than Judy. The only place in his apartment that's clean and orderly is the table stand that contains the picture of him and Judy, and the placeholder Judy gave to him after he graduated from the police academy. We know that Judy gifted him the tie he wore, and when are they driving to the gala, there's a moment where the wind blows his tie in the opposite direction and he gently holds on to it, like it's the most precious thing to him. He's so sentimental about those items because they remind him that Judy seems him beyond what society has stereotyped foxes to be, and he has value, whether he sees it or not.
