YA: Don't own.

Sorry for the wait

Insanity does not run in my family.

Rather,

it strolls through,

taking its time,

getting to know everyone personally.

Saiki had been escorted to the principal's office. His parents had been called, informed of the situation and asked to come to school. His mood had worsened as he watched Takahashi spin his story.

He was currently sitting in a chair, his father and mother sitting beside him listening in horror at the violence their son had supposedly committed. Takahashi's parents and the Principal, however, were looking at him in total disbelief. This was not the first time their son had gotten into trouble nor the first time they had sat in the principal's, particularly uncomfy chairs.

Saiki's gullible parents, however, were eating out of the delinquent's hands. According to the green-haired fool, Takahashi had merely wanted to ask Saiki a question about the homework.

By the end, his tale Saiki's parents' mind were running rampant with the horrifying images of their sons supposed action. Kuniharu was picturing lawsuits and court bills.

His mother's imagination, however, was slightly more concerning. He had always known his mother had a slightly dark personality but blood-stained walls and the sound of crunching bones was going too far. Especially considering that Takahashi was literally standing in front of both of them shedding crocodile tears.

What exactly did his mother think he was?

The Principal raised an eyebrow, unamused, "Right," He deadpanned before turning to Saiki, "Do you want me to tell me what really happened?" He questioned.

Saiki explained in short clipped sentences.

Both, Takahashi's parents and the principal nodded. The pink-haired psychic's story was much more reasonable with what they knew about the other teens in the room.

Kurumi and Kuniharu stared at the four in confusion. Glancing between the two high schoolers with their questions practically written on their faces. Takahashi protested. Loudly. Called Saiki a liar and claimed he was being framed.

The green-haired annoyance was silenced by a glare from his mother.

Saiki was pleased to note that Takahashi was going to have to write the psychic an apology letter and would be helping fix the wall that he had been kicked through. Saiki would be sent home for the rest of the day but he was welcome to come back the next school day.

The situation between Kusuo and the school had been resolved rather easily.

Unfortunately, the situation between Saiki and his mother did not.

The next day Saiki returned to school. There was the regular gossip: the talk of who likes who, the panic of who lost or forgot their homework but as Saiki walked by there was an absence of accusatory whispers over yesterday's incident.

When Saiki walked into the classroom he already knew what was waiting for him. A group crowded in front of the door in a flurry of movement and voices the minute the psychic had slid it open.

"Saiki, we're glad you are okay!"

"I'm sorry about the betting man. No one thought that anyone would take it that far."

"Yeah, Hairo was really upset about the whole thing."

"Teruhashi was really upset too."

Ah. It looked like the real reason slipped out. Having people like Hairo, who was beloved by everyone in the school, and Teruhashi, who was beloved by everyone who laid eyes on her (Saiki was the exception, not the rule), lead to some strange outcomes. Even more strangely, this one seemed to be in Saiki's favor.

He gazed at them all impassively until the bell rang. He made his way to the desk. Inwardly he would admit that it was slightly embarrassing to have the Takahashi sized hole covered in cardboard and duct tape.

The teacher walked in and Saiki's school life returned to its original state. No psychic powers needed.

Of course, as the days continued the thoughts of Saiki's wings slowly began fading from everyone's thoughts. Every once in awhile Kaido would go off into a fantasy tangent that Saiki's wings were sought after by Dark Reunion and that his pink-haired friend was in need of protection.

Teruhashi continued to pretend not to be curious in order to keep her 'perfect' pretty girl image despite the fact that she often tried to imagine what they would look like. Even Aiura and Toritsuka had stopped asking.

Unfortunately, one persistent person remained determined that Saiki reveals his wings and it was the one person that Saiki had the most difficulty refusing.

Saiki Kurumi.

She was being rather stubborn with showing others his wings. Even when she agreed to drop the matter it was still persistent in her thoughts and he knew that he could not ask her to stop thinking but every time she saw him the thought was in the front of her mind.

Kusuo knew that she simply saw his wings like some kind of friendship building exercise and that she didn't see a reason that her son shouldn't show them his wings.

Honestly, the psychic would tell his mother exactly why he refused to show his wings but telling his mother meant telling his father and he trusted the man about as much as he trusted Nendou. Perhaps even less than Nendou.

Now Saiki's wings had feathers and those feathers molted like everyone else's. Except when could he ever be normal? Saiki's feathers were just as much a part of him as his limbs were and as such it requires a special method of grooming and disposal.

Hence why he needed Kusuke's help when his molting season came along.

Normally, Kusuo and his brother's relationship was unhealthy at best but when it came to their wings they had decided at a young age that there were several things neither of them would ever compromise.

First: was that their every fight between the two of them would not involve their parents. Kurumi Saiki is an unreasonable woman whose logic was determined by her emotions and often unreliable facts she received and their father was to easily swayed.

Second: When Kusuo's powers affected Kusuke's life in any way the younger would inform the older.

The discussion had first come up after the event where Saiki gave the world their Traits. Kusuke was fine with that particular incident (an unlimited money source and the ability to fly along with making a rather dull world slightly more interesting) but it was better to be safe than sorry.

Third: They would never inform anyone, especially their dad, about what Kusuo's wings could do.

Normally Saiki would wait until the last possible moment despite the truce between them. However, the situation he was currently was abnormal considering Kusuke was the lesser of two evils.

On that sobering note, Saiki realized he couldn't be more screwed.

A wolf does not concern itself with the opinions of sheep.
