Dancing In The Rain

(MarshallxRocky)

"Seriously?!" Rocky stared at the grinning Dally, who was towering over him in his green pup house. The heavy rain poured around Marshall, but he didn't seem to care, only keeping his eyes on him.

"You can stand under my umbrella, you can stand under my umbrella….ella, ella, ella, eh, eh…" Marshall sang happily, not at all bothered by the rain.

"You're actually quite wrong, since you do not have a umbrella-" Rocky started, shaking his head, but Marshall injected in.

"Don't care!"

"But-"

"Nuh-uh!"

"….you could catch a cold?"

"Yeah, true…But I'm here to tell you something!" Blue orbs sparkled playfully at gold curious ones, and Marshall danced around happily. Doing so made a few drops of water land on Rocky, who shivered uncomfortably. He was absolutely terrified of water, and has never told anyone, not of it mattered.

"Tell me what?" Moving from his lying down position on his bed, the gray mixed breed took a few steps towards the spotted pup cautiously.

"Come on, Rocky, I don't bite!"

"Yeah, about that…." Rocky cracked open a smile, letting him know he was joking.

"Hey! Rocky, that's not very nice! You're gonna pay for that…" For a spilt second, he couldn't see anything, just blurs of fur and water. Suddenly yanked by his orange collar, he was whisked outside in the drenching rain.

"Arggg! Wet, wet, wet!" Was his first reaction, his second one was to whirl around to face Marshall, who was trying to cover up his grin after his little stunt. "MARSHALL!" He was so mad at him! The nerve! He started to give chase, not caring about the rain for the moment. Marshall opened his eyes just in time to see a rather wet and angry Rocky charging at him.

"Whoa, Rocky! Stop! Argh!" He cried out, but his pleas fell on deaf ears. His only chance was to run, which he did quite fearfully. Round and round they chased each other, resulting in them ending up at the grassy field nearby. The Dalmatian was a teeny bit faster than the mixed breed, but he didn't have the anger running in his blood.

"GOTCHA! OH, YOU'RE GONNA PAY FOR THAT!" Even the rain had stopped to watch the two, with Marshall now pinned on the bottom and Rocky on top.

"I'm sorry Rocky! Please don't tickle m-ah!"Marshall trust into laughter at the ticklish feather light touches that roamed his neck and hips. Rocky knew exactly where his sensitive places are. Being best friends and play fighting everyday did result in them getting to know each other better, after all! The laughter continued with for a while, giving Rocky enough time to gaze at the fire pup wonderingly as he continued to laugh even when he stopped touching him.

Rocky wasn't sure what he was feeling now. Did he like his best friend in that way? Is that why his heart was thumping like crazy when ever he's around? He couldn't lie, though. Marshall was one attractive pup, with shiny smooth spotted fur and clear blue eyes. How his heart was so pure, and energy so contagious, with everything so perfectly proportioned. He felt himself leaning towards Marshall somehow, as if there was a magnet between them. 'Huh? What is happening to me?'

Marshall stopped laughing when Rocky's lips gently touched his own. Was his best friend kissing him? He had never thought of Rocky liking him in that way. Huh, to mention it, Rocky did seem to be just a bit more handsomer than he usually is in this past week. From his glossy sliver fur to his glittering golden orbs, everything about him seemed refined and elegant. And his personality... So smart, yet has enough sass to talk back to meanies, so caring and gullible, and just...so perfect. When had he started feeling like
this? Marshall broke out of his stupor when the warm lips that was pressed against his broke away.

"S-sorry about-that" Rocky stuttered, shying away from Marshall, who had rolled over to look at him in the eyes.

"What do you have to be sorry for? You kissed me, probably out of anger. You know?" Gah, what is coming out of my mouth? He thought helplessly, as his mouth continued to blabber on. "I don't mind being kissed by you, it's actually a lot more nicer than I thought it would be! Not to be mean or anything..."

"That's not mean, and I don't know what got over me, it just felt like I had some connection with you, and it was pulling me to kiss you. I think... I love you, Marshall!" That was hard to admit, considering he haven't really gotten the time to think about it himself. But it felt right, telling him he loved him.

"Aw, Rocky... My head is in chaos right now, do you even know how irrestible you are? There was a connection, I felt it too! And I know my place is to be beside you. My mind might still be unstable, but one thing is clear; I love you and I will never stop." Marshall has never said anything as honest as that, even he couldn't believe it! The words had flowed from his mouth, like a flow of water. Hey, speaking of water...did the rain stop?

"Hey Rocky! The rain stopped!"

"It did!"

"Do you know what I do after the rain stops?" A sparkle of mischief entered Marshall's eyes. Oh, Rocky was so gullible sometimes...

"What? Wait, I don't want TO KNOW!" Rocky started to back away from his now smirking boyfriend, but he was a bit too late. Marshall had Rocky pinned on his back and was tickling him with no mercy.

"MARSHALL! AH HA HA HA! STOP IT! HA HA HA!"

"It's my payback..." Finally, he stopped, and Rocky rolled back over to catch his breath.

"I don't think that's what you do after the rain, do you?"

"Nah, I wanted to have some fun with you. What I really do is jump in the puddles!" To emphasis his point, Marshall jumped into an extra large water pool. Right in front of Rocky.

"ARG!"

"Oops! Sorry Rocky!"

"Marshall... Come over here for a second..."

THE END!
