I am Diesel.
He smelled her before he saw her, his head turning and in that instant, something shattered inside of him. It was like a full length mirror breaking into a thousand pieces in front of him, the sunlight and the sky and grass all around them dissentigrating until all there was in front of him was her. He jerked back, his eyes widening like a deer in the headlights. What was this sorcery? Why did his heart suddenly pitter patter like he was running a marathon? Why could he not catch his breath? Why did his throat feel parched and his skin feel warm? He had never seen nor met this wolf before so why was she having such an affect on him? Kyra whispered from somewhere inside him.
"SHE'S BEA-UU-TIFUL!"
It was a slow admiring tone in his ear but he was already agreeing in his mind somewhere. He felt lost, confused, all of the above. His ears flicked back and forth but his eyes never left her silhouette as she came closer. She held herself with such grace that he was mesmerized almost instantly, his mouth very near salivating so much that if he didn't swallow soon, he'd be drooling in no time. She must have authority of some kind but even if she was the lowest on the totem pole, he would still hold her on a pedestal in his mind. Why was he acting like this though? He was the logical one, the laid back and down to earth guy of the bunch. Why was he suddenly acting crazy?
"MAYBE IT WAS THOSE BERRIES YOU ATE, PAPI. I THOUGHT THEY TASTED KIND OF BITTER. MADE YOU ALL LOCO, EY?"
He rolled his eyes even as Bandit continued to laugh at him. Even Bandit seemed untouched by the affect she was having on him. He could hear Bandit make a "psh" noise.
"SHE'S JUST A GIRL, MAN. GET YOUR CABEZA ON STRAIGHT."
She had so much energy about her as she came closer but it was like she was running in slow motion. He couldn't get enough of watching her. Kyra giggled.
"WELL, I THINK SHE LOOKS LIKE FUN, DIESEL! YOU SHOULD BEFRIEND HER!"
She stopped before him after what felt like forever but he could go on watching her approach for the same forever and still be just as happy. She started to speak and at first he couldn't even focus on what she was saying. Her voice was like an angel's. Where did she learn to speak like that? It was like an exotic skill or something. But her voice cut off suddenly and she stumbled a little. Immediately he stepped closer, his brows furrowing in concern as his eyes softened.
"ARE YOU OKAY? DO YOU NEED TO SIT DOWN?"
Kyra got all excited and started hopping up and down in his mind.
"OH, LOOKY, DIESEL, SHE'S ALREADY BEING SWEPT OFF HER FEET! YOU'RE GOLDEN!"
Even Mags was smiling in amusement. The look the wolf gave him was one of surprise and he mirrored it with his own. He was still in shock through this whole thing. She seems to be going through some sort of internal struggle, her muscles contracting and relaxing like they have need to do something but she's fighting the urge. Did she want to be as close to him as he did to her? How odd. What was coming over him? Maybe it was the berries.
"DON'T YOU WISH."
Bandit sneered at him with a knowing look in his eyes. Did he know what was going on? Diesel almost wanted to scream at him to tell him. He didn't like this helpless feeling. He blinked at the female for who knows how long before he felt the need to clear his throat.
"I'M...I'M DIESEL. WHO ARE YOU?"
Names were a good start, right?
