~ Wings ~ Sanders Sides ~

~ Prologue ~ Patton ~

The only time I can remember my wings coming out was when Thomas was in seventh grade. That was the first time he had gotten a crush on a boy, and I was all over it. Deceit, however, would not have it, as Thomas "wasn't ready to acknowledge his sexuality" yet.

But I didn't really mind, because I got this pair of pretty blue wings that matched my shirt. Roman loved them. He would take the feathers and braid them into my hair whenever he could, making Logan give us really funny looks.

I only had my wings for a couple months, then Thomas got over him. The sudden disappearance really intrigued Logan, as he didn't notice the connection. He kept questioning me, and even Roman constantly asked me when they would come back. That sent me—and therefore Thomas, since I hadn't learned how to compartmentalize yet—on a week-long irritable streak.

But they kept almost coming back out ever since. Whenever Thomas was with someone he loved, or surrounded by family, I would feel pressure in my back, right where my wings used to be.

The only sides that know about my wings are Logan, Roman, and Hailey. I doubt Logan and Roman remember, since it's been over fifteen years, but Hailey... well, I hope she does!
