I'd Die for You

Note: I don't ship Rocky & Marshall together. This was made only for entertainment.

Crushes. Everyone gets them. Ryder and his pups are no spring chickens when it comes to this certain topic. On one beautiful sunny day, Ryder's pups were doing their natural activities. Rubble, Zuma, Skye, and Chase were contemplating on playing 'Hot Potato', Ryder was playing games on his pup pad, Marshall was snoozing in his pup house, and Rocky sat in his pup house, contemplating on what he and Ryder would invent next.

While he was doing that, Chase made his way to the mixed breed eco pup sitting in his pup house. The German Shepherd knocked on the door to his pup house. Chase was not only the police pup on the team, he is also a part of the police force in Adventure Bay. The door opened and there was Rocky. He smiled at the sight of Chase.

"Hi, Chase, what's up?" he said.

"We're thinking about playing 'Hot Potato' and we need the soccer ball to play it. Can you help me look for it?" asked Chase, motioning his head toward the rest of the pups standing on the Lookout's lawn.

"Oh, sure," answered the mixed breed eco pup.

Rocky walked out of his pup house and followed Chase inside the Lookout to search inside the closet. On the way there, The two pups passed by the team's fire pup, Marshall. Chase walked past Marshall's pup house, taking a short glance inside. Marshall was curled up in a ball, sleeping in his pup house.

When Rocky passed Marshall's pup house, he glanced at the sleeping Dalmatian and stopped following Chase. Instead of following Chase inside the Lookout to find the soccer ball, he stopped in his tracks to watch the Dalmatian sleep. But Rocky couldn't help himself. He watched the Dalmatian snore, finding it cute.

Rocky sighed. "He's so cute when he's fast asleep."

The mixed breed stayed and watched the Dalmatian sleep, not realizing how long he was distracted. He finally took his gaze off the sleeping Dalmatian once he heard laughter, being followed by a voice on his right.

"Hey, Rocky, are you gonna stand there and watch Marshall sleep or are you gonna help me look for the soccer ball?"

Rocky turned his head to face Chase. "Huh? Oh, yeah, I'll help."

Rocky stole another glance at the sleep Dalmatian before walking away.

Chase tilted his head at the mixed breed Eco pup. "Why were you watching Marshall sleep?"

Rocky furrowed his brows. He tried to not give away his secret in front of Chase.

"Who? Me? I wasn't watching him sleep, I was... looking at something inside his pup house," answered Rocky.

"Then why were you looking at it for so long?"

Rocky looked up at the sky. "I don't know. Started to stare off into space, I guess."

Chase smirked at the mixed breed. He knew there was much more than that.

"Are you sure there's nothing more than what you saw in his pup house?" asked the German Shepherd, raising an eyebrow.

"Yeah, I'm sure."

Rocky felt he was pressured by the German Shepherd.

"You know, I'm not a fool when it comes to this stuff."

Rocky now realized the German Shepherd was onto him. He looked over to his right to make sure no one was watching the tension rising between him and the German Shepherd.

"I think you can cut me some slack for this one time?"

The German Shepherd chuckled sarcastically. "Yeah, sure."
