Chase's Pov
Before Marshal admits his crush
I made my way to the beach, anticipating Skye's arrival for a delightful day of hanging out by the sea.
Despite a few minutes slipping away, there was no sight of Skye, leaving an unsettling sense of anticipation in the air.
???"Hey Chase!"
I shifted my gaze, initially expecting to find Skye behind me, but instead, it was Marshall who caught my eye.
"Oh, hey Marshal," I greeted, my eyes still scanning the surroundings in search of Skye.
"Are you waiting for someone?" He asked.
"Uh yeah, I am. I am waiting for Skye to meet me here." I replied.
"Oh ok, are you guys going to go swimming?" he said with a confused look on his face.
I could feel annoyance building within me as Skye remained absent.
"Yeah, we were planning to hang out and have some fun," I replied, maintaining a serious expression.
"S- so... Chase, I- I have something I- I need to tell you..." Marshall said while stuttering
Marshall's usual tendency to stutter was noticeable, and a hunch told me there might be a specific reason for it this time.
"Uh, sure, Marshall... What is it?"
"Chase, from the day Ryder saved us as tender pups, My heart danced, entwined with yours, pure and supple, In your presence, butterflies took flight, a fluttering delight, Love blossomed silently, in the soft shadows of the night.
Your eyes, a constellation of dreams, pulling me near, In your laughter, I found melodies, crystal clear, A love that bloomed like a fragrant, delicate rose, With each beat of my heart, its tender petals unfroze.
Whispers of your name waltz through my every thought, In the canvas of my dreams, your image is deeply wrought, I yearn for the brush of your paw, the warmth of your embrace, You're the melody to my song, my heart's eternal grace.
So, here I stand, baring my soul, vulnerable and true, In this realm of emotions, it's only you I pursue, In the symphony of love, let our hearts entwine, Forever together, our souls forever enshrined."
Marshall's Pov
After Marshall admits his crush
Following my last utterance, Chase's face transformed into an expression of pure shock.
Several minutes had gone by, and Chase remained utterly speechless, his face frozen in a state of profound astonishment.
Fear crept in, and a worrisome thought crossed my mind: what if he never responded?
I let out a sigh, struggling to hold back tears. "I... I'm so sorry. This was a mistake," I managed to stammer.
As I turned to walk away, he reached out and stopped me in my tracks.
"Marshall... Is this why you've been acting strange around both me and Skye?"
I lowered my head and nodded slowly, confirming his suspicion with a solemn gesture.
Chase's Pov
This revelation hit me like a bolt from the blue. My closest friend had feelings for me. Despite my wholehearted support for Rocky and Zuma, and my complete acceptance of his sexual orientation, it took me some time to wrap my head around this new dimension in our friendship.
I remained silent, leaving Marshall on edge, anxiously awaiting my response.
"Marshall... It's difficult for me to put this into words," I began, my face carrying the weight of a heavy heart.
"Hey, I want you to know how much I cherish the beautiful poem you shared and how amazing your heart is. Anyone would be lucky to have you as a partner."
"I hope you understand my feelings and remember, our friendship will always mean the world to me."
"But right now, my heart is leaning towards someone else..."
