Oh to have wings,,, I just want to grow wings and have to discover how this new part of my body works. I want to learn to preen my wings and take care of them. I slowly start to realize that I can’t reach the feathers at the base of my wings without hurting myself. Maybe there’s a tool I can use, but this is all so new to me and no one else knows anything about this either. So I get a friend I like being close to, who I feel like I can relax around. And I teach them on the part of my wing that I can reach, and then they preen my wings for me, their fingers going through the feathers. It feels so nice. They check in with me at first to make sure they don’t hurt me, but they get more confident as they go. It feels so good. I could fall asleep like this. This is how I find out I chirp when I’m really relaxed. We giggle about it together. It’s a little embarrassing to make sure involuntary noises, but I get over it quickly- it’s new and strange, and I can’t be blamed for it, it’s a natural part of this new change, and they’re so welcoming. They like making me chirp. I start to zone out as we get in the zone. I’m chirping, feeling so pleasant as they preen my wings. It feels so good when they preen the base of my wings, that part I couldn’t reach before. Their hand presses on my back, and I make an involuntary noise. I hadn’t realized that was an erogenous zone for me now. We’re both flustered. I want them to keep going and touch my back so bad, but they pull their hand back. I assure them that I’m alright and we return to the preening (Maybe next time I’ll tell them to keep going). It feels so nice, so pleasant. A little different from before, now. I zone out again as they preen my wings, chirping happily in my relaxation. They continue running their fingers through my feathers for a while after they finish preening, enjoying the feel of my feathers and me so relaxing and chirping under their fingers. I don’t even notice they’re done; I’m not doing much thinking right now. Once they finally pull their hands away and announce that they’ve finished, I pull them down into my nest, nuzzling into their arms as I wrap my wings around us both, chirping happily as I cuddle my friend.
