"Oh not at all, he's a total teddy bear. Wanna come over and say hi?" Marlee gave an encouraging smile.
"Oh not at all, he's a total teddy bear. Wanna come over and say hi?" Marlee gave an encouraging smile.
Cory hesitated then stepped forward and reached out a hand to pet him, "H-hi there, B-blaze."
Blaze sniffed Cory's hand and rubbed his head against him. "He approves of you." Marlee laughed. "He usually doesn't like other guys around me, like if my brother and his friends come to ride and I'm around he gets really protective." Blaze rubbed his head even closer to Cory.
Cory blushed and almost tripped with the force of the rubbing, "He sure is sweet," He laughed.
Marlee laughed. His laugh is so cute! She blushed. "Alright Blaze. Time for grooming."
Cory smiled when she laughed, Her laugh is so sweet and nice to listen to He sighed and turned back to Snickers who huffed at him, "Hm, let me finish brushing you, okay?" He said quietly.
Marlee ran to the tackroom and grabbed everything she needed. "Do you want me to help you tack her up then?" She called to Cory as she walked back to the grooming stall.
"Huh? What her up?" Cory asked confused.
"Tack, the saddle and all that jazz." Marlee laughed. "Sorry, I'm speaking equestrian term."
"Oh! It's fine. I was just a bit confused," Cory gave a small laugh.
Marlee blushed and pushed a piece of hair behind her ear. She walked over to Snickers and showed Cory how to put all the tack on.
Cory watch what Marlee was doing carefully and in a few minutes they were done with the tacking, "What else do we have to do?" Cory asked.
"Well, now we're done with all the grooming and tacking so now we ride." Marlee smiled.
"Okay," Cory sighed, growing nervous again, unsure of how the riding would turn out.
Marlee sensed his the uneasiness in his voice. She walked close to him. "I can walk alongside you and Snickers until you get used to it." She reached down and took his hand. "I won't let anything happen to you."
Cory calmed down instantly and gave Marlee a trusting smile, "Thank you,"
"Of course." Marlee returned his smile. "Are you ready?"
"Yeah," He replied. He drew in a breath and looked at Snickers, "Let's go."
Marlee grabbed a lead rope and realized she was still holding Cory's hand.
Cory followed her and felt a slight pull on his hand as she stepped forward, he looked down and realized she was still holding his hand, surprised he let go and instantly regretted it. He clenched his fists and blushed.
Marlee felt Cory let go of her hand. She felt a sadness rush over her. She blushed a crimson red.
Cory felt stupid and horrible, "S-sorry," Cory said awkwardness, self-hate, and panic flooding through his body. I'm an asshole such a big stupid asshole
"Cory it's okay. I moved to quick. I'm sorry." Marlee looked down. Maybe he'll make a move
Cory looked at her, "I-it's fine, I've never been in a relationship before," He sighed and wrapped his arms around her, "I think you're amazing and so kind, and sweet."
Marlee blushed. "I think you're cute, and super caring." She looked up at him.
