This is a universe where everyone is born with wings, and your desirability and attractiveness is determined by how big and colorful your wings are.
Patton was born with huge, powerful, multi-colored wings, and has always been incredibly popular, but has always felt that no one cares about him for him. They see his wings and make a snap judgement, but they never take the time to get to know him as a person. Because of this, he often feels very lonely, and will take solo flights in the evening to try to forget his sadness.
Virgil, on the other hand, has been outcast his whole life. Born with a rare condition that stunts his wing growth, he can’t fly, and to make matters worse, his wings are plain jet black. In self-defense, he has adopted a stand-offish, emo persona, and tells himself he doesn’t mind being alone–it’s better that way. He invented this universe’s version of parkour and races alone across the rooftops of the city at night just to feel the wind in his feathers.
The pair meet on just such a night–unlikely opposites who are both prejudged by their society. They become friends, and that friendship slowly blossoms into love. They can often be spotted in the evening, Virgil racing along the rooftops and Patton swooping and cavorting alongside him.
If you listen closely, you can hear them laughing.
