Summary
“Why do you keep your wings hidden?”
He knows his answer won’t make any sense to Malleus, not with the way he takes pride in his fae and draconic features. His wings are a source of light, not a ball and chain like Riddle’s. His scales are to be honored, not plucked and trashed like Riddle’s feathers. His fire is mighty and powerful, completely unlike Riddle’s unnatural chirps and fluffing.
“...I have no use for them,” He answers, honest but omitting necessary details. Lying by omission.
He hasn’t been in a relationship for longer than a week and he’s already lying to his partner. How shameful of him…

Summary
The first pluck always feels the most daunting. He likes to start with the feathers on the back of his hands. Then, he slowly works his way up his shoulders, and down his sides. He tries to get the feathers over his chest and front done with as quick as he can.
They always hurt the most.

Summary

“Of course it’s not- Hurk-!” Riddle jerks the third year back against the chair he sits in, a strength Idia could only ever dream of defying presenting itself as he holds him down.
“Then, tell me,” Riddle spits shards of ice, “What about the idea of destroying my beloved’s crown makes you smile in such a manner?”
