"Fluttering"
Lance went to the market, wings fluttering as he visited stall after stall. He wanted to buy a few things for his home in hope of attracting a mate. He knew that it was unusual for a fey as old as he was not to have found their mate, but it gave him time to do what he wanted and gather things for his home.
He loved feeling the warm sun's rays on his blue and white wings. It was a good feeling, only second to them being submerged in water. He smiled at the fey running the fruit stand. She was such a warm, friendly fey that grew sweet fruits. He flitted about the choices, his wings shining in the sunlight.

Keith had been walking through the market, giving his wings a rest. He wasn't really looking for anything but felt like he needed to be at the market. He usually didn't ignore these strange feelings, so that was what led him to wander the market. He ended up at his brother's stall. Shiro ran the stall with his mate, Curtis. They sold baked sweets like pies and little cakes. Keith leaned against the stall, talking with Shiro while Curtis was dealing with a customer.
"I'm surprised to see you here today, Keith."
"I got a feeling that said I should be here today."
"It's good to follow your feelings."
"I know-aah!" Keith's wings fluttered, lifting him off the ground and catching him off guard.
"Keith! What happened?" Shiro reached out and caught his brother's wrists.
Keith twisted around to see what his wings reacted to. He didn't see anything initially until he caught sight of a pair of shimmering azure wings. His eyes widened as they landed on the brunette fey attached to those shimmering wings. He was so handsome, which caused Keith's wings to keep fluttering, but he was only hovering a few inches off the ground, Shiro letting go of Keith's wrists once he was satisfied that Keith wasn't going to be launched into the clouds.
"That fey with the blue and white wings. He's something special. I can feel it."
"Go talk to him."
"I think I will." Keith was still hovering so he just flew over to the fey, who was still examining the fruit. "Hi."
Lance turned and saw a dark haired fey with crimson and black wings hovering nearby. "Hi."
Lance's wings shimmered again, and his eyes widened as the other fey's wings fluttered, lifting him a little higher, eliciting a gasp from the other fey. Lance instinctively reached out and grabbed onto the darker haired fey's wrists, tugging him against him. Keith clutched onto Lance. "Thank you..."
"I'm Lance, and you're welcome."
"I'm Keith."
"I was shopping for something to add to my home to attract a mate, and it seems like I didn't need to."
"Your home already had the most important thing. You."
