Ok, heres the thing. I was writing I was writing The Phone Call Mystery when I just totally blocked. Then I realize that I needed a little break, then some things about Marshall and Everest came out of nowhere to my head, so I decided to publish them. I hope you like them.
Even if he was a little distracted pup, he knew exactly what he had to do to make her smile.
Actually, there are a lot of things that makes Everest smile, especially when it comes to Marshall.
Sometimes, he brings her favorite flowers, takes her to the roof to have a dinner in the light of the moon, or just when he surprises her with a hug from behind that always ended in a kiss; sometimes even a little more.
But this night was different, it had to be EXTRA-special. Why? Because, please; it was their first anniversary.
It was all planed already; he just had to pick Everest from the mountains so they could go to the perfect place he had found.
"You look very excited, Marshall. Where are you taking me tonight?"
"You'll see when we arrive."
After 10 minutes driving through the forest, there they were.
It was a little lake surrounded by trees covered by snow, with a small bridge in the middle, the moon and the stars shined bright illuminating the landscape and reflecting in the water.
"Wow." Everest said looking at the sky.
"Do you like it?"
"Yes. It's wonderful."
"And we are just starting."
They walked by the bridge to stop right in the edge. Before she could say something, Marshall had already held her by her paw, which made her heart beat a little fast.
He started.
"Everest, you know I'm not good in these things, but I'd always tried my best to show you feel that my love for you is real. Every time I see you my heart beats fast, my chest gets warmer and my eyes can't help but get stunned by your beauty. Since the first time we met, the missions with the team, when you said yes when I asked you if you want to go on a date with me and when we became in boyfriend and girlfriend; you were the only thing that I could think. I still don't know how you accepted me as your mate, since I'm the clumsiest pup in the world. I don't think I deserve you, but just I want you to know that… Everest…" At this point, his eyes were wet on tears, so as hers.
"Yes Marshall?"
"I just-… want you to know that…" He was already crying. But he finished.
"I love you."
Just before he could react, she landed her lips in Marshalls and stayed like this for a long time. When they broke up the kiss, she spoke.
"I love you too, Marshall. And I always will love you. I can't think my life without you; you're not clumsy at all, you are the most careful, smart and kind guy and the one I want to spend the rest of the time we have in this world. I love you." They went into an embrace, both crying in each other's shoulder. They broke the hug just to see to each other face to face, with the moon light between them, as she gave him the warmest smile he had ever seen before.
"I love when you do that."
"What?" she said with a curious look.
"Smile."
