"Now, hold out your paw and think of crushing something. Then focus all that into your paw and shoot it at that rock." Andrew instructed
Marshall obeyed and closed his eyes. He thought of crushing his paws into the clay Ryder gave them last year in his pup house. He was making a suture of him and Chase playing together. Focusing all of that emergy in his paw, Marshall shot opened his eyes and a red beam shot out his paw and towards the rock. The beam hit the rock, breaking it ino ashes of dust that blee away in the wind.
"Great job Marshall, you finally got it after 6 tries. Not bad." Andrew said
"Thanks" Marshall said tiredly
Andrew smiled at the dally before they walked inside to play with the others. It's been a week now and Marshall has made some progress. He has control of his magic but is still working on his vampire desires. The pups and Andrew were all playing pup pup boogie, well, some of them were trying to teach Andrew.
"Do you get it now Andrew?" Skye asked
"I think so, who wants to go against me?" Andrew asked
"Oh Oh! I will." Rubble said and raced to the other mat.
"You guys go on, I gotta do something. See ya later" Marshall said and walked to the backyard
He sighed and looked back sadly "Why am I so different? Why can't I do this right?"
"Your not different, just special."
Marshall yelped and turned around "Chase? Shouldn't you be with the others?"
Chase walked closer to Marshall "Yeah but we haven't talked to each other alone in a week so I thought I'd start now."
It's true. Ever since Marshall and Andrew started training with each other, Chase and Marshall could barley see each other anymore. It was awkward because of the kiss and everyone was around them 24/7 playfully teasing them and making jokes on how they should just get together already.
"W-Well, what do you want to talk about?" stuttered Marshall who rubbed his forearm nervously.
"I-I want to talk to you about the kiss, y'know, so we don't be awkward anymore." Chase said with a blush
Marshall blushed as well and they both made eye contact. No matter how much Marshall or Chase wanted to look away, they couldn't.
"I-I'm sorry. It was the heat of the moment and I know your in love with Skye. I stole your first kiss and I'm so sorry. I understand if you hate me now." Marshall said, still blushing and lowered his head so Chase doesn't see his eyes were watery.
Chase put his paw under Marshall chin up so they were back in eye contact.
"I could never hate you just because of a simple kiss. Well, it was way more then a kiss but it was the best kiss I've ever had and I couldn't asked for better. The kiss, actually felt really good." Chase said, causing both to blush harder
"I-I feel the same way, a-about the kiss! It was my first too but I should've never took away yours and I'm sorry." Marshall stuttered, looking back at the ground.
"Marshall, look at me" Marshall looked up at the caring golden and brown eyes "Do you know how much you mean to me?"
"I guess. I'm your best friend and only your best friend who's been your best friend ever since we found each other" Marshall said with a low growl to himself.
"Marshall-"
"Guys!" Andrew's voice yelled from the lookout "You better come in here quick."
"Let's go Chase" Marshall said sadly and grabbed Chase's paw.
Before Chase could object, Marshall used his super speed and rushed them both in the lookout. Ryder and the pups we're staring at the screen. When Marshall and Chase arrived next to Andrew, they saw a dog with pitch black fur, red eyes and sharp teeth.
"Who are you?" Chase asked
"I, young pup, am Sahi, king of all vampires."
Andrew growled while Marshall tried not to make contact. The king saw the spotted pup and his smile grew wider.
"Ah, my heir, what are you doing with these weak beings when you should be with me, trying to grow stronger."
"No, I want to stay with my friends and I am not your heir" Marshall growled, now looking directly at the black dog
Sahi laughed "Oh you humor me my heir. Come to me now."
Marshall groaned, putting his paws to his head "No, I'm not going anywhere with you"
"You disgrace of a worthless vampire. Why did I ever choose such a weak puppy who I thought could take over when all you do is hode bwhind your friends and cry. No matter, I will soon have a control over you and you will be mine worthless weak dog. For now, play with your little friends."
Sahi looked at Andrew before the screen went black. Everyone stayed silent through the whole thing. All the pups we're growling but Marshall and Ryder had a very serious expression that no one saw on his face before. The sparkle in Marshall's eyes were broken with hurt and truth. He wiped the tears that were about to fall from his eyes and walked infront of the group and faked smiled.
"Hey, it's ok guys. I know we can work this out together if me and Andrew train some more." Marshall said with his fake happiness
"But Marshall, we already practice today and I know your exhausted" Andrew said
"Please, I have taken more dangerous rescues without sleep for two days, I'm sure I'll be fine." Marshall faked a chuckle
"But Marshall-"
"It's ok Ryder, I'm fine and everything is going to be fine." Marshall faked laughed his way out the back door.
"Plus, it only mean that I'll get my revenge on the dog and then we can get back to rescuses." Marshall faked his last smile before he walked out the lookout and into the backyard.
The pups, Ryder and Andrew looked at each other in concern for their friend.
"Guys, I don't know about this" Skye said
"Yeah dudes, Mawshall didn't sound twuthful at all" Zuma added
"I should go check on him, I have to." Chase said and ran out the room
Zuma, Skye and Rubble laughed silently, Ryder and Andrew shook their heads and smiled while poor Rocky just sat there, confused.
"What? Why did Chase sound like that? And why is he always with Marshall?" Rocky asked
"Chase and Mawshall have feelings for one another and they kissed a week ago" Zuma answer calmly
Rocky's jaw dropped making Zuma laugh and said "Foe the smawtest pup in the world, you suwe wewe clueless with this case Wocky.."
"Why didn't you tell me?!" Rocky whined, ignoring Zuma's comment as they began to walk outside.
"You didn't asked Wocky."
"How was I suppose to know what to ask if I didn't even know?!"
"You could've said 'Hey Zuma? What happened yestewday while I was with Wyder?'"
"I didn't know!"
"They sure do act like a marry couple" Ryder chuckled
"Definitely" the three pups said
With Marshall and Chase
Chase arrived at the outside the door and saw the backyard turned into the training yard. He looked at the light and saw it was red which meant...
"Oh no" Chase whispered
He saw Marshall run past him, so fast that Chase almost missed him. Chase looked around for the red button and saw it by his back paw. Without warning he pressed the button beside him that Ryder installed just for safety measures, turning the backyard back to normal. Marshall stopped immediately and looked at Chase who walked to him.
"Chase?! What's the big idea! I was training!" Marshall shouted angrily
"Your hurt, and training isn't gonna help you cover it up." Chase said plainly
"No I'm not, I'm-"
"Fine? Sure you are. I saw your face when Sahi said all those things about you being worthless and weak and I know your hurt!" Chase yelled once he was above the glaring dally.
"I'm fine Chase, I have to train to get stronger and beat the living shit out of that dog!" Marshall yelled back and tried to walk around Chase but Chase blocked him.
"Move Chase, I have to train."
"No, you need to talk to me. This isn't you and you know that. C'mon Marshall, tell me what's wrong."
"I'm not gonna sit here and act like the biggest cry baby in the world just because of some stupid words!"
"Those stupid words hurt and damaged you because you think it's true!"
Marshall looked away from Chase's blazing eyes starring at him and gritted his teeth. He wanted so badly to be in Chase's arms and be comforted but he knew that he would show his weak side again and he didn't want to show anyone, especially Chase. Chase came closer to Marshall and wrapped his arms around Marshall's waist, pulling him to his side.
"Chase stop, I'm ok." Marshall whispered as he struggled to get free.
"Your not ok Marsh and I know that you know that I know your lying. You can fool everyone else but me." Chase said softly
Marshall's eyes glistened as he look up at Chase. Chase brought his paw up and stroked Marshall's red hot cheek while not taking his eyes off the breath taking ocean blue eyes. Chase always thought Marshall's eyes were unique and beautiful, especially in the winter. His eyes would have an extra sparkle like the snow softly built after a fresh, cold snow storm and his white fur with black spots would shine. Finally breaking, Marshall closed his eyes and hit Chase's chest with his ball up fist. Tears were leaking from his narrowed eyes as he hit Chase when he spoke.
"I'm not ok! I'm not ok! I don't want to be the crybaby, the weak one on the team, the clumsy emotional pup anymore! I don't want to be weak and worthless any more Chase! I can't stand it when I hear people whisper that! Thats why I have to train and prove them wrong! Are you happy now?!" Marshall yelled, small tears streamed their way down his rosey cheeks.
Chase look kind of shocked to hear this. He really didn't know Marshall felt this way all the time and still manage to make people happy. The serious and plain expression on Chase softened into a shocked and cared one. He wiped the tears from Marshall's red cheek and leaned his head onto the sad dally.
"Marshall, I don't care if your very emotional sometimes, that's who you are and no one can change that. Your not any of those awful things; the weakest pup on the team, the clumsy emotional pup, the cry baby? You barley cry, sure your a little clumsy but your emotions are what makes this team stick together, and your the third in command, how could you be the weakest one on the team? Your probably the strongest pup I know and the bravest. You run into burning buildings and save children, risk your life for animals, you actually saved me once or twice. Marshall, no one should have the right to judge you but you without judging themselves first." Chase spoke
Marshall was speechless. Chase's speech was absolutely amazing and it made Marshall's heart race and his cheeks even redder. Having the pup you love say those words to you is honestly the best thing Marshall had ever had.
"Chase..." Marshall muttered
"Marshall, you were the first pup I met, the first pup to make me smile and laugh, the first pup to teach me how to never give and be the leader I am today. Your kind, friendly, has the biggest heart ever, a bit clumsy, adorable and the" Chase paused, was he really gonna say it and was this really the best time "the most cutest pup I ever laid my eye on." Maybe not.
Marshall was incredibly shocked. 'Chase really thinks that about me? Yes! Yes! Yes!' Marshall was cheering in his head but outside, Marshall was spilling tears of joy onto both his and Chase's fur, which once again, Chase wiped away.
Marshall brought both his paws up to Chase's face "Chasey, you know the right things to cheer me up. Your the most honest, brave, couragous, handsome, and cutest pup I know. You always know how to help me when I need it."
Chase blushed so much he matched the color of Marshall's cheeks.
"You think I'm handsome? Thanks. And Chasey?"
"D-Do you not like the name" Marshall stuttered as he started to pull away.
Seeing Marshall become misunderstood, Chase pulled Marshall's head closer so his muzzle was almost touching.
"No no no, I love it but I only want you to call me that." Chase whispered
"Thank you" Marshall muttered
"Your welcome"
The muzzles came in contact again but this time they didn't pull away, they just went with it. The kiss was slow and smooth like the waves on the beach when there's a full moon. Chase tilted his head down a bit, deepening the kiss. Marshall let a small moan escape from his muzzle as they opened their mouths and their tongues connected. Passion and excitement flowed through their bodies as they continued to kiss a little faster, pushing their fur against one another. They pulled away, giving each other small kisses as well. Marshall leaned back into Chase's arms and opened his eyes slowly, looking at Chase's golden eyes with passion and love.
"Wow." They both said
"That...was amazing." Marshall chuckled
"Yes, yes it was. Any better yet?" Chase asked
"Yes, I feel much better thanks to you. I even forgot I was a vampire when I'm with you." Marshall said sweetly
"I'm glad I made you all better." Chase snickered
"You know everyone is watching us right?" Marshall said, not taking his eyes off Chase.
"Yeah, I even heard them when we started talking." Chase said and they both laughed.
"So, what was that kiss for?" Marshall whispered
"Making you feel better. Also because..." Chase trailed off "I kinda like like you."
Marshall blushed and looked away. Chase took it as a sign and pulled away, thinking Marshall changed his feelings for him.
"I understand if you-" Just before Chase could finish, Marshall licked his cheek and looked away
"I-I like like you too Chasey." Marshall said loud enough for Chase to hear.
"Oh good, for a second there, I thought you didn't like me." Chase said nervously
Marshall giggled and hugged Chase "Your so cute when you stutter."
Chase smiled and hugged back "Your cuter."
"Are we, you know, together now? Do you think the town will accept us? I don't mean as us being gay or anything because there are some people that are gay in this town but I mean a vampire and a regular pup dating." Marshall rambled
Chase chuckled as pulled Marshall out of the hug. He put his paws on Marshall face and kissed his forehead.
"You talk to much you know that? Of course we're together, I'm not ashamed of calling you my boyfriend out loud. And I could care less about what the town thinks about us but if they hurt you'll I'll hurt them much more. All I care about is for us to be together for a long time." exclaimed Chase
Marshall kissed Chase, who returned it sweetly, and hugged him "Gosh, you can sweetened up my mood quickly huh Chasey?"
"Only for you I would do anything to make you smile and laugh like that." Chase said sweetly and hugged Marshall back.
"You wanna bust everyone now?" Marshall asked quietly, not opening his eyes.
"Sure" Chase said and they realesd embrace.
Marshall rasied his paw and it glowed silver. The backyard door opened and the pups and Ryder came through, looking surprised. Marshall floated them over and gently landed them infront of him and Chase.
"I forgot I tought you that." Andrew muttered
"Yes you did. Why are you guys spying on us?" Marshall asked
"Hehehe, sorry Marshall but we were concerned." Ryder said
"Yeah dudes, you weally need to leawn to stop yelling at each othew so loud." Zuma said
"Also you guys need to stop being such an adorable couple." Skye squealed
Marshall and Chase looked at each other and blushed. Ryder came up to them and scratched behind their ears.
"You both are good pups, but if I have to be honest...I agree with Skye." Ryder snickered
"Ryder... don't encourage her." Chase groaned
"They're right, you guys are a bunch of love birds." Andrew smirked
"Ugh, you guys embarrass us way to much." Marshall muttered
"Before you guys go back to your make out session, can talk to Marshall?" Andrew asked
"Uh sure." Marshall said and he and Andrew walked inside the lookout
"So what's up Andrew?" Marshall asked
"I don't know, I saw Sahi look at me before he ended his call and I think he looked happy. Do you think he wants to do something to me?" Andrew asked fearfully
"Andrew, I honestly don't know what Sahi wants with you but I do know that me and the pups and Ryder will protect you." Marshall said confidently and put his paw on Andrew's shoulder.
"Thanks Marshall. Chase really does have an effect on you doesn't he?" Andrew asked
Marshall blushed and removed his paw "Y-Yeah, he does"
Ryder and the pups came in with Chase and they walked to the big screen. Marshall ran up and sat closely next to Chase. Chase looked next to him and put his paw around Marshall's waist and Marshall leaned his head on Chase's should as Ryder put on a movie. Andrew watch them and smiled but his smile soon faded away.
"What does the old man want with me?" Andrew said to himself but shook his head.
"Hey guys! Don't start the movie without me"Andrew said and ran to the his friends
