Chapter 23 - His Wings

The next morning, Tatsuya was extremely sore all over his body. It was like something was squeezing his entire body in place, forbidding him to move. Luckily, his wings didn't randomly sprout out in the middle of the night so he was happy about that. After a few minutes of struggling, he finally managed to get up off his bed while using the walls to support himself. He slowly walked out of the room. Once he was out, he saw Minyul cooking breakfast.

"Oh, hello master, you're awake. I'm making blueberry pancakes for breakfast. They will be ready shortly." Minyul said with a smile.

"Ok, thank you." Tatsuya replied gratefully for having someone to cook his meals. Before Minyul showed up, he wouldn't even eat breakfast and for dinner he would just have dried ramen.

Not much later Minyul placed a plate with four fluffy pancakes that were covered in syrup and cut fruit. Tatsuya gladly ate his breakfast. The pancakes were very fluffy and the syrup was sweet and warm. The fruits were a mixture of blueberries and strawberries.

After the two ate, they got dressed and went to school. They arrived a lot earlier than usual and decided to hang out by the school's entrance. Many students were already there and many girls stared at the two as they walked over to an empty spot and sat down. They both talked and laughed about many things. During their conversation, Minyul couldn't help but stare at Tatsuya's beautiful laughing and joyous face. He kept staring and sneaking glances. He really admired it for it was innocent and carefree, yet powerful, intimidating, and strong.

A couple minutes later, the school bell rang and they were off to class. Classes weren't interesting at all that day. They were all just reviewing things that they've already done to make sure everyone understood them, which left Tatsuya, who was already up to speed with everything, with a boring day. Even though it's not that different from a regular school day.

After school, the two meet up with the fashion and design club to talk about the outfits that they will be modeling. Since the categories were street fashion, winter, business man, and winter royalty, the fashion and design club gave both of them three designs for each category and told them to pick one and bring it back Monday morning when they go to pick up their outfits. They both nodded, left, and made their way to their training area. Since they weren't able to do any wing practice the day before, they decided to do it that day then the weekends would be for improvement.

The two made their way to their abandoned building training area and got to work. Tatsuya took off his shirt and gave it to Minyul. He did this since he didn't want to rip and ruin the shirt. Once he did that, he took a few steps back and tried to summon his wings. He tried and tried, but he couldn't do it on his own.

"What do you think about when you're trying to summon your wings?" Minyul asked after watching Tatsuya struggle.

"I think about how it looked when I had my wings before and I don't know just tried to make it happen." he replied.

Minyul walked toward Tatsuya and said, "Turn around, let me try something."

Tatsuya's face instantly turned red as he looked at Minyul's face as he was standing directly in front of him. He instantly put his arms up and exclaimed while stuttering, "W-what do you mean turn around? What are you gonna do?"

Minyul grabbed his arms and in one swift motion, he turned Tatsuya around and pressed his chest against Tatsuya's back. Pinning him to make him be still. He lowered his head and whispered with a charming and soothing tone, "You have nothing to worry about. I'm just going to try something to help you."

Tatsuya's ears were bright red, as well as his cheeks. He replied, "Fine."

Minyul let his grip go and placed his hand in the middle of Tatsuya's back, "Now think of your wings, but not as something you gad before, but as something that is an extension of yourself. Think of them as extra limbs that are apart of you and not separate."

Tatsuya closed his eyes and did as Minyul said to do. He imagined his wings as an extension he could control and as something he always had instead of something he once had. He stayed quiet, just focussing then all of his wings sprout out of his back at once. This time there wasn't any pain like before. He figured because this time, he wanted them to come out. Once his wings appeared, they went slack against his back.

He kept observing and feeling his wings. He was so happy that he successfully summoned his wings.

Minyul chuckled and said, "Now try to open them."

Tatsuya tried to open his wings, but couldn't fully extend them. He kept trying, but he had no luck.

"Try imagining the bones in your wings as your arms as you try to move them." Minyul suggested.

Tatsuya took his advice and envisioned the bones in his wings like his arms. As he focussed on that image, his wings slowly lifted up until they were fully extended.

"Now keep them there, you have to build up the muscles in your wings in order to use them and to fly."

He kept his wings for a long period of time before he had to let them down. He could already feel the strength growing in his wings. They did this test about four more times, before Minyul introduced something else.

"Now try to flap your wings up and down many times and see if you can lift yourself up." he instructed.

Tatsuya flapped his wings slowly at first, but as he continued to put more force into them, he was able to lift himself off the ground. He smiled and laughed in excitement as he was able to lift himself up. He continued to flap his wings until he couldn't anymore.

Minyul chuckled and walked up to Tatsuya. He put his hands on his shoulders and said, "I think you're ready to try to fly."

The two went outside of the building. Behind the building was a patch of plain dirt and grass that looked to be a very old parking lot.

"Spread your wings and try to fly." Minyul said encouragingly.

Tatsuya spread his wings out very wide and made one big flap which launches him off the ground. He was about fifty feet above the ground and he continued to flap his wings to go higher and higher until he reached the top of the building. Minyul took off his shirt and summoned his own wings and flew up to meet up with Tatsuya in the air.

He flew right behind Tatusya and poked the back of Tatsuya's neck and said, "Boo."

Tatsuya was instantly scared and he flew backwards with a yelp. He scolded with embarrassment, "H-hey that's not fair! I could've fallen and got hurt," he flew to Minyul's back to look at his wings. He said, "So you have two bat wings."

"Yup, most servants do. Do you like them?" Minyul asked.

"Yeah, they look so cool. They look like real bat wings." Tatsuya replied happliy.

Minyul chuckled. For the rest of the evening, the two continued to fly around and strengthen Tatsuya's wings. By the end of it, Tatsuya had mastered his wings and was able to fly freely without any problems, which surprised Minyul. He didn't expect him to master his wings so quickly and elegantly. Most demons and nobles he's seen, all took about three days to master their wings, but Tatsuya was able to within four hours.

They put their wings away, put their shirts back on and went back home. When they got back, they ordered pizza and watched a movie until eventually both fell asleep.
