I walked up to my front door hastily fumbling with my keys to get them in the lock. I don't know why I was so nervous?
We walk up what seems like a million flights of stairs and then I lift my hand to make a flicking action towards the door before remembering I was with company and then reaching for my keys once more, they mustn't know.
Once we get inside I offer them both a cup of tea to which they both say yes.
"Sit down! Make yourself at home!" I chirp and then follow through to the kitchen.
I close my eyes and take a deep breath, I look around quickly. They stayed in the lounge. I point at the kettle and it flicks on and I then wave my hands in a swirling motion. The cupboards burst open and three mugs fly around my head and then land on the counter whilst a tea spoon explodes from the draw and makes its way to the side and finally three tea bags drop in each mug.
I lower my hands just as the kettle flicks off from boiling and I turn to go into the lounge to ask if they take sugar when I am instead met by Phil standing in the doorway mouth open and looking very scared.
"Shhhhh!!" I say hoping Dan hasn't noticed anything. He makes a small whimper noise and I go over to him before touching his forehead gently and thinking of the ocean and waves crashing and the noise it makes. Anything calming I can in that moment and watch as his face relaxes.
"Wha-what are y-you?" He stuttered at me.
"A witch, but it's okay! Think more Harry Potter opposed to wicked witch of the west. However I do need to ask you PLEASE don't say anything to Dan! I did intend on telling you at some point but I wanted to get to know you first. To know I could trust you. I guess that's just why I've been so jittery and nervous I just didn't know what you would think and I...." I continued rambling and talking at him for what seemed like forever but I could see he had stopped listening and was instead looking at the mugs to the cupboard to the kettle in shock.
"I won't say anything." He cut me off. "But please promise me you aren't going to do any weird witch experiments on me in my sleep."
I laughed. A genuine laugh. I did not think he would take it that.. well? Is that the word for it? Regardless I send him back to the lounge after finding the right proportions of sugar for the tea and I carry them in on a tray.
"Ah finally!" Dan beamed, "I've been waiting to start this ice breaker game! So how it goes is that someone asks a question and the other two have to guess the right answer. All questions asked will be about the person who is asking it, get it?" We both nod our heads and were off!
We asked question after question. I find out that Dan like to:
-pretend he's not himself when people ask for a picture to confuse them then tell them he's kidding.
-look at pictures of dogs when he can't sleep
-he texts his mum goodnight every night
-he likes to draw when his mind gets cluttered
And I found out that Phil likes:
-asking people he doesn't know their favourite colour
-he keeps every photo he takes. Even the bad ones
-his favourite food is carbonara
-he doesn't think pineapple goes on pizza
And finally they learnt that I am boring. Not really. But in order to live my life safely I must stay as low as possible. Therefore I have no hobbies no habits no nothing. Nothing I can be personally identified by as a human.

I shifted my t-shirt. Being so compressed was getting uncomfortable. My back twitched.
"I'm tired" I say suddenly not able to cope with the pain. I'll tell Dan tomorrow. I showed them both to their rooms. Separate rooms. And then go to my own. I take my t-shirt off and sigh in relief as my long feathered wings flop down and brush to the floor.
"Finally" I whisper into the silence.
