PAW Patrol: Resurgence || Book One

(S2-C4) New Friends

The pups were all waiting patiently, excited for the arrival of their friend's savior. Well, not all of them were up and excited. Due to the lack of sleep they had gotten the previous night, Marshall and Everest were both curled up with each other, taking a well-deserved nap.

The husky had already gone ahead and called Haley to see if she could visit, and surprisingly she said she'd be in town later that day to pick up some supplies. The two talked for a bit and the nurse explained she'd be there in a few hours and would stop by the lookout.

With that in mind, she had no trouble falling asleep, knowing that both she and Marshall really needed some extra rest. Plus, the others told her they'd wake her up when Haley got there, so that wouldn't be a problem.

"They look so cute together." Skye whispered to her mate, who was simply laying on the couch beside her. She wasn't wrong, they both had their heads resting on each other's back as they were cuddled up in a little ball.

"Heh, you're right. But I still think you're cuter." The shepherd responded, giving her a small smile.

"Well, of course, I know that Chasey." The cockapoo stated teasingly as she gave him a little lick on the cheek. Chase rolled his eyes and gave her a playful push. "Hey, that's not fair. You're the one who called me cute in the first place." She pouted.

"And I stand by it, cause it's true." Chase replied with a wink. Skye smirked and jumped on his back, something she could easily do due to her small size.

"Hey, quit playing with my ears." He laughed as the cockapoo started batting them around, acting like she was just a pup.

"I think you'll live." That was all he got in response. He couldn't say he was too surprised though, it wasn't uncommon for the cockapoo to be like this around him. Eventually, once she was satisfied with her work, she laid back down into his fur.

"Happy?" The shepherd asked, noticing she had stopped. Skye just let out a joyful sigh and nuzzled him.

"Never better." She answered softly.

"Will you two stop flirting with each other?" They hear suddenly, followed by a small laugh. The couple turned their heads around to see Marshall half-awake, letting out a few yawns as he looked at them.

"Oh shoot, sorry I woke you up. We can try and be quieter." Chase apologized, realizing it was probably their fault for interrupting his sleep, which was something he still desperately needed to catch up on.

"Nah, it's fine. How long have I been out?" Marshall asked. He normally would've just gotten up and checked the clock himself, but he really didn't want to get up. Laying there snuggled up with his mate made him feel so warm, safe, and....loved. It had been too long since he'd felt this way.

"You both have been asleep for about a few hours now. Haley should be here pretty soon. You wanna go outside and play with us until then?" The shepherd offered happily, with his tail starting to wag.

Marshall shook his head and lightly nuzzled the sleeping husky. "Nah, you two can go. I'm just gonna wait until Eve wakes up. I don't wanna leave her." He responded as he leaned back on to her.

"Oh ok, well Skye and I are gonna go outside. We'll come get you if Haley gets here, or you two can just come out and meet us when Everest wakes up. Take care buddy." Chase stated as he and the cockapoo started to walk towards the elevator.

The dally smiled and nodded, despite still not being in the mood to play with the rest. However, he didn't mind having to wait for the husky to get up. As long as he could stay close to her, he knew he'd be fine.
