Nathaniel shrugged, still confused. "I haven't had popcorn before today. It's really not that big a deal. Why are you upset, though?"

V sighed and leaned back in his seat "I just thinks it's unfair that you have to live like this. Just for what you did while up their," he pointed up "it doesn't seem right that you have to spend the rest of your life here. You don't deserve this."

"I… I dunno… maybe I do. I can't question them. I'm useless up there because I can't fly. That's… it's just the way it is." Nathaniel smiled weakly to reassure V, his voice quiet.

V shook his head "I choose not to believe that." He sighed and started the car

Nathaniel fidgeted with his hands, looking down at the floor. "W-Well, it doesn't really matter anymore… there's nothing I can do about it. My best bet is to just… get over it…"

V nodded "yeah, I guess." He drove off towards home "anywhere you want to go tomorrow?" He asked

"Nowhere in particular…" Nathaniel tugged at his hoodie to be absolutely sure his wings were hidden, feeling more self conscious about them than usual.

He nodded "so what other things haven't you've done?”

"A lot of things, honestly." He sighed softly. "The list of things I have done is much shorter."

“What have you done?” he asked in curiosity

"Well, I just watched a movie, I rode in a car with you, I got a fake ID, I've wandered miles on foot, I've… I've made weapons…" He fell quiet as he thought. "I-I didn't really do much other than wander until I met you… I guess I picked fights sometimes?"

"well, I'd say that's quite a bit of things. What's one thing you've heard of that you want to do? Anything. Literally anything." He said

Nathaniel thought for a moment. Fly. "I-I dunno…" He looked away once the thought hit him. "I've heard riding horses is quite fun."

He hid a smile "i've never riden a horse before, I'm not sure if theeres a riding rage close by."

Nathaniel picked up one of his feathers which had fallen from his wings. He held it softly in his hands and stared down at it, remembering when could fly. Don't fucking cry I swear. "W-We don't have to… if… if you want to, though, I'm sure we could find somewhere…"

V glanced over at Nathaniel, his eyes filling with concern. He steeled his features and drove faster "it's ok,"

"I… I-I miss flying sometimes, you know?" Nathaniel said softly, running his thumb over the feather.

V but his lip "I don't. I cant pretend to go through what you have, ever. It's be selfish if I tried." He swallowed a lump in his throat "but I think I can help with the flying part, if you want."

Nathaniel glanced over at V, his eyes shining with tears despite his best efforts. "W-What do you mean? If you're going to suggest modern medicine, I can assure you it won't work…"

V shook his head "no, that's not what I mean. You'll see when we get there." He said

"Alright…" Nathaniel tried to brush away his tears as discreetly as possible, but it was hard. He continued staring at his feather for a while.

They reached the clifside v had come to love to visit and got out of the car "coming?"

Nathaniel nodded and got out of the car, approaching the cliff. "I… uh, I'm not going to be trying to fly, am I?"

"no, I'm not shoving you off a cliff until you fly."he laughed and pulled his shirt off, extending his wings and shaking them out "we are."

"W-What?" Nathaniel watched V, his anxiety increasing. He hadn't been in the air in years. He wasn't even sure if V was wanting him to take off his hoodie as well.
(He wears a shirt with holes cut in the back underneath, btw)
