Nothing Like the Present

Her tail wagged as she saw him, nearly blending into the snow at their paws but still managing to catch the light in a dazzling gleam. Then, she smiled at him, and he felt his heart flutter. A deep, crimson blush found its way to his cheeks, hidden beneath his pitch colored pelt, and he bit his cheek to keep himself in check. Take was no casanova, how could he be when he couldn’t even speak? He also had no experience with the opposite sex in ways other than familial affection. Ashen was made up of wolves that were related to him in one way or another, and he was perfectly fine with that because his family was his whole world, but he’d found his world being turned off kilter with each of his outings as he experienced more and more of what was out there. Of these experiences came his first encounters of crushes, though he was too naive to know that’s what they actually were.

She let out a bright burst of words, like the tinkling of bells, before launching herself forward at him. Her lithe frame crossed the slush and leapt toward him, catching him by surprise with her direct attack. He would have expected her to be more stealthy, considering he was bulkier than her in weight, but at the same time he was impressed by her confidence. She leaned in with her shoulder to try and ram it into his chest, a dainty foreleg fishing out to try and pull his weight out from under him. He took the hit to the chest with a wince, knowing he would certainly be sore from that later, and allowed her to pull a foreleg out from him, but not before draping his other leg over her shoulders. His full bulk fell forward, attempting to pull her down with him. If he were successful, he’d twist, attempting to avoid her teeth but feeling them graze his neck and pull some hairs along with them, and gather his hind legs up under him to press against her body and toss her away. He wasn’t quick, he had too much muscle, but he would try and clammer himself to his paws to pinn her down while she was still on the ground by pressing his forelegs against her chest.
