Chase, for the sake of his life, could not tear his eyes off of Marshall.
It was Mayor Goodway's 37th birthday, and all of Adventure bay, and even Foggy Bottom were invited, despite Humdinger's grouchy attitude.
All of the PAW Patrol came, even Everest.
Everest.
Chase had to admit, he was a bit jealous of the husky, since Marshall gave her some attention he'd love to have all to himself.
Back to the present, Chase could not stop staring at Marshall when he arrived late at the party at city hall.
"Sorry I'm late guys, I had trouble getting into my Tux…" Marshall said to the rest of the pups as he walked in with Ryder.
"You're looking sharp Marshall! Looking to impress Everest?" Skye said playfully. Marshall only blushed lightly, Chase growled a bit.
'He should be mine!' Chase thought darkly. Of course, those dark clouds vanished when Marshall looked at him. He could only smile widely as he admired Marshall's eyes that shone brightly with hope and happiness, that radiant smile that brought joy to anyone, that cute face of his…
"Um dude? Eawth to Chase?" Zuma said, waving his paw in front of Chase's face.
Chase shook his head, snapping out of his daydream. "Huh what?"
"You wewe totally daydweaming about Mawshall again, wewen't you dude?" Zuma asked, smirking at Chase who blushed.
"Y-yea, but he'll never like me, he's into Everest..." Chase said a bit sadly as he watched Marshall greet everest, who was in a lovely ice blue dress.
"Dude, you'll nevew know if you don't twy," Zuma said to his friend.
"Says the Lab who can't ask the Mixed breed out," Chase replied with a taunting smirk on his face, making Zuma blush.
"D-Dude!I'll ask him out when i'm weady" Zuma said quietly, as so the others couldn't hear him. "Just go ask him to dance dude!"
Chase watched as an unfamiliar pup stepped forward, and asked Everest to dance with him. She accepted, and took to the dance floor, leaving Marshall on his own.
Chase turned to talk to Zuma, only to see the lab asking Rocky to dance, who accepted with a small blush that only Chase noticed.
"Got anyone to dance with Chase?" Skye asked as she walked over.
"Yea…" Chase said as he got up.
"Oh. Who?" Skye asked, fluttering her eyelases.
There she goes again, trying to seduce Chase. Ew, Gross. When will she get the message that Chase wasn't interested?
Chase only walked past Skye, leaving her speechless. SHe was certain Chase would ask her when she pulled that move!
Chase walked over to the one and only handsome dalmatian in the room. "Hey Marshall," he said, keeping his cool.
"Oh hey Chase! What's up?"
"Dance with me?" Chase asked.
Marshall smiled, and lightly blushed. "Sure!"
Skye watched with jealous eyes as Marshall and Chase took to the floor to dance.
Mid-way through the slow dance song, Chase and Marshall held each other in a close embrace.
"Did i ever tell you, that you look handsome in that tuxedo?" Chase said quietly.
"N-no," Marshall said, feeling his face heat up.
"Well, you do. Marshall, I want to tell you something," Chase said, breathing slowly. 'This is it,' He thought.
"Yes Chase?"
Chase didn't say anything, but slowly leaned closer and kissed Marshall on the lips.
TO his relief, Marshall kissed back. When the broke the kiss for air, Marshall gazed into Chase's eyes.
"Ch-Chase…" Marshall said, smiling.
"I love you, Marshall." Chase said.
Marshall said nothing more as the two continued to dance through the night.
