in which fang flies

>*BANG BANG BANG*
>"Fang it's time to get up! Get ready or we'll be late!"
>guuuuuhhhhhhhhhh
>I groan out a huff
>a glance at the window reveals the sky is only a dim grey
>bloody sun isn't even up yet
>part of me wants to snuggle back under the covers
>but dad is totally willing to invade my private sanctum and dump ice on me
>reluctantly I crawl out of bed and get changed
>having donned my workout attire, I shuffle downstairs
>Naser is all ready to rock
>he's even doing warmup stretches in the living room
>fucking overachieving dork
>I blearily stumble into the kitchen
>mom looks up from the breakfast she's just begun to prepare
>"good morning sweetie!" and pecks me on the snoot
>i mumble a "good morning back"
>I look to the counter and see mom's already prepared my pre-workout slurry
>eight ounces of beef, fish, fruits, and vegetables
>I hold my breath and pound it down
>It's not terrible, per say
>skinnies would find it revolting
>but for a carnie ptero about to work out, it's practically an elixir from raptor Jesus
>they sell stuff like it at the store but mom makes the best from scratch
>I give mom a peck of her own as she tells me to be safe
>walking into the living room I see naser has been joined by dad
>he's getting ready for work
>dad is wearing his formal dress uniform
>must have some sort of official function he has to go to
>we haven't been on the best of terms lately but I do feel a pang of sympathy
>dad's reward for a lifetime of being the best cop on the force was to get promoted to commissioner
>he spends more time chasing down bureaucrats than crooks these days
>I'll never understand how he puts up with all the pomp and circumstance
>dad gives me a nod as I enter
>"good morning, lucy"
>I grunt, not bothering to correct him
>it's too early to start a fight over my recent self-proclaimed name
>"well you know the drill. don't stay out too long or you'll miss breakfast. be safe and look out for danger"

>dad warns, reciting the speech he's given hundreds of times before
>Naser unironically says "sure thing dad" like he's in a fucking sitcom
>I just grunt and nod
>dad rolls his eyes but heads into the kitchen to get toast and coffee
>him and mom get lovy-dovy and I exit the house before I can gag
>naser is right behind me
>he takes a deep breath of air and loudly exhales
>"Great weather for a fly, huh sis?"
>I wave dismissively "whatever"
>I flap my wings a few times and tense to prepare for takeoff
>"Lu-er-Fang, you need to stretch first!"
>my dork of a brother stumbles over himself as he tries to stop me from leaving
>his failure to use my name properly makes me want to take off all the more quickly
>I'm about to turn and deliver a witty one liner when dad exits the doorway
>"lucy do your warm up stretches. My insurance only covers one round of physical therapy for pulled muscles a year"
>he doesn't even look at me as he rattles off his quip and gets into his car
>I grit my teeth but say nothing
>I don't want to get into a shouting match on the front lawn for all the neighborhood to see
>Naser cheerfully leads me in the proper stretches
>he ignores my glower
>finally we're done
>I'm loath to admit it but Naser was right
>my back and wings feel a lot more loose
>naser looks to the sky
>a ribbon of pale pink and orange is on the horizon now
>"wanna race?" he asks eagerly
>I shrug
>"nah, I'm not feeling it today"
>I see Naser's smile faulter for a brief second
>sorry, buddy. we aren't kids anymore
>my brother shakes it off though
>"I guess there's something to taking our time to see the sights, right?"
>I shrug again. whatever, captain optimist
>"Alright then, lets go!"
>naser exclaims far too enthusiastically
>he takes off at a trot and I tail behind him
>I feel the wind rushing past me
>my wings begin to flap instinctively
>before I realize it, I'm in the air
>the houses grow distant underneath me

>I follow naser's climb until he levels out around 200ft into the air

>don't worry bro, I'm capable of staying aloft even if I'm not the school's aviation circuit star
>I try to repress my pang of jealousy
>fucking naser

>ugh
>it wouldn't be so bad if he was just a dumb, if exceptionally gifted, jock
>but naser was a genius
>I'm not to bitter or resentful to admit that
>he told me earlier this year he was thinking about becoming a doctor
>and he had the brain for it too
>I could see him being a world famous neurosurgeon or something
>the whole world was my brother's oyster

>he peels away from me to make room
>flying too close is a bad idea if you haven't practiced it a lot
