After the two bad pups had dinner, they were getting ready to turn in for the night yet Moby was distracted not just on what more work the old Paw Patroller would need but also how growing feelings for Zane. “Moby?” Zane asked, noticing how distracted the merpup looked. Moby snapped out of it and looked at Zane. “Uh yeah?” Moby replied, just about to go into his room. “Is something bothering you? You were really quiet during dinner and even before that,” Zane asked. “Just.. thinking about the work I have to do on the mobile HQ, boss,” Moby answered. “Hm..I do suppose there is much to do. Don't worry, I'm not going to make you do it quickly. It gets done when it gets done,” Zane replied. Moby smiled and his tail wagged slightly. “Well good. Cuz it's gonna take a while,” the merpup said before going into his room and closing the door. He sat on the ground and put a paw to his chest, blushing and slightly annoyed with himself. “I have to tell him..I have to tell him..but I'm so scared..,” he said, a tear forming in his eye. Meanwhile Zane in his room paced around as he thought about the day. Stopping Sweetie, his talk with Rocky and Zuma and this nagging at his heart when Moby crossed his mind. “Why..why do I feel this way.. thinking about that merpup? Am I.. feeling..love? No that's not..ugh..,” he muttered to himself before laying down on his bed. He closed his eyes and let his mind wander around as he began to drift off to sleep yet it always came back to Moby.
The next day, Zane woke up to silence which was odd as usually Moby was working on something. He walked out of his room and looked around for his friend. “Moby?” He said loudly, looking around. He then found a note reading, “went to get scrap. Be back in a while.” Zane shrugged. “Figured. You still here, McSquidly?” He asked for the cephalopod. The squid tapped on the glass of his large private aquarium. “Interesting he didn't take you with him. Maybe he wanted to go solo. Strange but alright,” he said to the squid with McSquidly shrugging. Zane made himself breakfast and passed the time by reading with the thought of Moby in the back of his mind. The wolf dog pup still ignoring those feelings he had.
Meanwhile at the junkyard, Moby walked around with his claw arms out of his pup pack gathering things he might need for the project at hand. As he put stuff into his vehicle, a female voice startled him. “Oh hey Moby. What are you doing here?” Moby turned around to see Everest looking at him with curiosity and caution. “Bow wow ugh! Get out of my fins, husky,” he snapped at her. Everest sat down and looked at him. “Sorry I scared you,” she apologized. Moby scoffed. “What is the mountain pup doing in a junkyard?” He asked as this was indeed unusual for Everest. “Well this is at the base of the mountain so it's part of my patrol path. Also I could see that green and blue vehicle a mile away,” she answered. “It's the Moby Mobile to you! And all I'm doing is getting stuff for a project and I want time alone and that includes from Zane and his annoying half sister,” he spouted, facing away from the husky. Everest looked at him with a tilted head. “Why do you need time alone from my brother? Isn't he nice to you? Are you guys fighting?” She asked. “No, idiot. I just..ugh! I'm not going to explain anything to you, Everest!” He grumbled, now facing her with an annoyed expression. “He's..*sigh* He is nice to me.. Zane.. just..,” Moby said, slightly stammering and tapping a claw on the ground. Everest watched the merpup, looking at the body language and it hit her. “Oh my gosh.. Moby..you got a crush on my brother!” She said with her front paws over her muzzle. “Bow wow WHAT?!” Moby recoiled, shuffling back a bit not sure how to respond to being figured out. “You do! That's so cute! The sullen boy has a heart..,” Everest cooed. Moby growled and stamped his paws on the ground. “Shut up! Shut up! I do not..!” He groaned and then laid down on the ground and covered his face with his front paws, just accepting the truth. “By the 7 seas…by the gods of the ocean..I do! But why can't I accept it? Why can't I bring myself to tell him!? I'm.. being tugged in two different directions.. he's so perfect but I don't want to possibly destroy our friendship..he is the best thing to happen to me..,” he whined, starting to tear up. Everest approached him and gently touched his paw with hers. “If there's one thing I know about my brother is that he admires honesty. Don't beat around the bush and be confident, that's how you talk to him,” she said, being gentle. Moby whined and looked up at her. “I.. I'll try..,” he muttered, getting up and wiping the tears from his eyes. “Don't be scared to cry in front of him either. That's just more honesty. He's cold, not empty. There ARE emotions in there. After all, he's a pup just like you and me. And maybe he won't want to be your boyfriend but he'll still be your friend. But.. maybe he likes you too. Just be confident,” Everest said with a smile.
Moby went back to the lair and parked his vehicle which had some scrap metal and other things he might need for the Mobile HQ and other projects. He was nervous, really nervous but he breathed in and out and calmed himself down as much as he could when Zane approached. “Ah you're back. Find what you needed?” Zane asked as Moby got out of his vehicle. “Yeah,” he replied shortly. “Excellent,” Zane replied before he started to walk off. Moby swallowed all that nervousness as he felt that he had to just say it. “Zane..I..,” he started, stammering a bit. The wolf dog turned around with a raised eyebrow. “Need assistance?” Zane asked. Moby shook his head. “Zane..you.. you.. bow wow ugh..you are the best thing to ever happen to me. Yeah I had McSquidly but you get me, you really understand me. You know I have misophonia, you know I'm a little autistic..you know I'm different and yet you see me as equal. The past year has been the happiest I've ever been, Zane. You gave me direction, you made me feel..good about myself. A lot of sadness has been lifted from me and I also think I helped you out too. You were so cold when I first met you and now you actually bother to talk to me and even to your sister and some of the Paw Patrol. We've helped them too! You are just.. you're just..the best. And..,” Moby paused and took in a deep breath, tears running down his face, wetting his fur. “I have feelings for you! A pulling on my heart, tugging me to you! I'm in love with you!” Moby finished before he started to cry softly. Zane was stunned, unsure how to respond to such an admission. The pure honesty Moby showed was something he couldn't ignore nor was a very hard tugging on his heart. PLUCK PLUCK PLUCK, over and over again like the feelings were there for months and buried but the wolf dog could not ignore them. He was silent, looking at Moby blankly, completely unsure how to respond. “Moby..,” he whispered before he sat down and his ears were folded down and for the first time, the strong pup looked humbled and meek. Moby watched him, slightly scared as he knows how strong Zane is but giving him time to process. Over the speakers in the lair, a song started to play, Kiss by Korn. Both boys saw McSquidly scurrying away like he was trying to finally pull these bad yet vulnerable pups together.
Kiss by Korn
Some deny and search for things that never come around
Do I feel like a fool?
The places I have ran to all my life have disappeared
And I owe this all to you (all to you)
I'm feeling like I'm sinking
And nothing's there to catch me, keep me breathing (breathing)
What do I have to do?
Why can't this hurt be through?
I'm going head onto something I know I will fail
Why can't this kiss be true?
Why won't you please let me through?
I don't understand why you always push me away
The last thing I would like to do before I go away
Is cry there next to you (next to you)
Cry and talk about the good old days and where they've gone
And now how much I hate you
What do I have to do?
Why can't this hurt be through?
I'm going head onto something I know I will fail
Why can't this kiss be true?
Why won't you please let me through?
I don't understand why you always push me away
I feel the blood drip off my body
As it falls right there on the ground
What am I now?
What am I now?
What am I now?
What do I have to do?
Why can't this hurt be through?
I'm going head onto something I know I will fail
Why can't this kiss be true?
Why won't you please let me through?
I don't understand why you always push me away
Why you always push me away?
Why you always push me away?
Why you always push me away?
Why you always push me away?
Why you always push me away?
Why you always push me away?
Why you always push me away?
Why you always push me away?
Both boys stared at each other as the song played out with both of them slightly drawing closer. “Please.. don't push me away.. Zane..,” Moby stammered, tears running down his face. Zane, now starting to cry as well, got closer. “Moby…,” he muttered. “My heart.. burns for you..,” Zane stammered, tears running down his face. Moby and Zane embraced in a hug and stared into each other's teary eyes before bringing their muzzles closer and closer until they kissed. A feeling both of them never felt washed over them and their hearts strumming in an in sync rhythm. The boy's kiss was only a few seconds but it felt like hours and was soothing to both of their dim hearts. “Bow wow wee..,” Moby muttered, leaning against Zane. Zane held him close and rested his chin on Moby's head. “This kiss can be true..no..it IS true. I have felt something for a while now, probably months yet I buried it. That was foolish of me. I just thought.. because of my past I would be alone forever. I never knew my father, and barely knew my and Everest's mother..I was taken away from her then abandoned by my old owners..it left me bitter…,” Zane said with Moby being the first one he told this. Moby was shocked, such a confession had to have been tough. Moby pressed himself harder against the wolf dog. “That is completely unfair…I'm so sorry that happened to you, Zane. Thank you for telling me,” Moby said, looking up at him and kissing his cheek then hugging him again. The two boys held onto each other for a while, not saying anything as there wasn't anything else that needed to be said.
