''She is beautiful, don't you think?'' Sungmin cooed sweetly at the gurgling baby, who pulled on Sungmin’s black hair. Kyuhyun gazed at the meat lump that was settled in his companion's lap. He couldn't feel any empathy for the mayfly infant.

“No, she is not. Drop the baby Ming.” Kyuhyun rolled his eyes. He wasn't sure how long his friend was going to obsess about infants. Especially this one, weak heart, she wouldn't survive for the next week.

“Damn Kyu, don't you have to collect a from a volcano or something?” Sungmin snorted and bobbed the baby on his knees, imitating a mother down the street.

“Should rip I your eyes out, so you will fit among the mortals?” Kyuhyun smiled and sat down next to Sungmin. The infant stared at him like he had murdered its mother. Not exactly true, although he couldn't help but look at the mother's corpse that laid to rot on the dirt path. The miniature human would follow quickly in her mother's footsteps.

Sungmin laughed and held the baby close to his chest. “Sometimes I wonder if Mother made a mistake.” A longing smile was plastered on his face. Kyuhyun gazed at his best friend. Silver hair truly suited him better than this human appearance. It was such a shame, Sungmin was bright like the sun.

“Mother is never wrong.” Kyuhyun instantly replied. He stood up and looked down to his feet. He felt ice caking on his skin, his hair and slowly spreading over his body. As he looked up he saw Sungmin had returned to his usual dark eyes and silver hair. A black thick stripe covered over his hair and eye. “Looks like we have some fresh meat of our own.” Kyuhyun felt the ice cracked as he smiled. A pulsating hum vibrated in his core. “Ditch the baby. We have more important matters to attend to.”

Sungmin walked a few steps behind Kyuhyun. He couldn't help but smile at his usual stoic friend who had a skip in his step. His friend had always been most comfortable in the slumbering vibrancy of Mother. Snowflakes instantly vanished once they left Kyuhyun's skin, the chips of ice left a glittering effect with every wave of his hair. Sungmin sighed, endless silver and gold were interwoven in streams. Never-ending flowing patterns that roughly shaped the dome that they found themselves in. His feet never once touched the stream that was mere millimeters down his bare feet. The streams were in a turmoil, it will happen soon.

The dome filled with animated chattering. Some found their waiting space above the actual crowd but most chose to mingle on the rare occurrence that all had gathered to witness the event. Sungmin happily smiled and waved, some old acquaintances walked along with him to quickly catch up. He was still following Kyuhyun who strode confidently through the crowd, right to the destination in his head. Most stepped aside when they saw Kyuhyun to make way for the man. Others gathered around the ice man who brightly laughed.

“KyuMin!” Changmin dropped down from the Dome’s ceiling and landed right on Kyuhyun's path. Sungmin laughed as the tall man took his hand and wrapped him in a group hug. The antler shape that grew out of the back of Changmin’s skull glowed a vibrant green under the thin ivory structure. The tall man was ecstatic.

“Changmin! I haven't seen you for centuries. I’ve heard you got another shrine, seriously stop stuffing yourself with human food. You might turn into one.” Kyuhyun threw a friendly punch that was met with a headbutt.

“Yah you don't know what you're saying. Even you can't deny the amazing flavors they create. So much better than chewing grass, leaves or raw meat. Sometimes, you want sweet and juicy.” Changmin's eyes flashed green as he threw an arm around Kyuhyun. The three continued their way. “Ah, speaking of juicy Kyumin, what is the whole fuss about. I felt all tingly and warm, the urge to come down itch my very core.”

Sungmin grinned brightly and skipped forward to hook his arm with Changmin's. “That's right, this is your first time.” He hummed and waved to an old friend. “It's the Existence. Do you see the streams?” Sungmin pointe
