You let your hand trail through the leaves to your right and watched the pure ice spread across them; coating them, engulfing them, turning the green into white . You heard something rustle behind you and you stopped. Listening intently, you could hear someone’s breathing in front of you. You frowned but didn’t move. The person in front of you was moving towards you. You could feel it through the frost on the ground. Suddenly the branches in front of you were moved and a man stepped through the created gap. His light pink hair was messy and his body thin but toned. You had your hands in front of you, ready to attack if you needed to. He hadn’t noticed you yet, but concentrated on the leaves you had coated in frost just a minute before. You frowned and sent a little wave of your power towards him, freezing the yellow rose he was holding in his hand. He startled and looked down at the rose, then finally lifted his head and saw you. His eyes widened and you resumed your defensive position with your hands spread in front of you, your palms pointing towards him.

“Who are you?” You hissed.

“I could ask you the same question. This is my property.” His voice was melodic and strong. You frowned.

“But—I thought…” you trailed off. Now he was the one frowning.

“You thought what?” He demanded.

“I used to visit an old man here. He was always alone and I kept him company. He protected me from the people who wanted to take—“, you broke off. “Never mind; I’ll just leave. Bye.” You muttered and turned to leave but he grabbed your wrist turning you around to him. You stared at him wide eyed. He was so close, that his body heat warmed the front of your body and the close proximity made you blush.

“The old man was my grandfather.” The man whispered, his hand sliding from your wrist into your open hand, lacing your fingers together. You gasped. “My name is Minseok, but please call me Xiumin.” He whispered again, his voice husky and low. You swallowed hard.

“I’m _________. What do you want from me?” You dared to ask; he smiled.

“The frosting; that was you right?” his voice was suddenly as cold as the ice you could create; you nodded, feeling like your tongue was stuck to the top of your mouth. He smirked and picked a red rose from the rose bush to your left, holding it up between your faces. You averted your eyes from his eyes to the rose and watched as slowly but surely fine veins of frost appeared in the petals. You gasped; it wasn’t you doing this. You weren’t using your powers. When you looked back up at Xiumin he was staring at you intently and you knew it was him doing it. You looked down at the back of his hand and saw the same tattoo you had on yours, glow and shimmer as he used his powers. Wondering how you hadn’t noticed it before your gaze travelled back up to Xiumin’s face. He was smiling, holding a finely frozen rose in his hand. The beautiful rich red was still showing and contrasted the icy white frost like blood. You stared at it and slowly lifted your hand up towards it; carefully skimming your fingers along the petals you concentrated on covering the stem and leaves in a fine frost coating. Feeling brave and a little cheeky, you glanced up at Xiumin through your lashes and let the frost climb up his fingers. He chuckled and took one of your hands in his, guiding it to the rose. Taking the rose from him, you did not take your eyes off of his, just like he didn’t break your eye contact. He moved his hands towards your neck and you felt cold ice sliver over your skin. You shivered and closed your eyes but after a few minutes, the cold feeling was gone and when you looked down, you saw a beautiful, thin silver necklace slung around your neck. In its centre there was a pendant shaped like a snowflake; the sign of a frost bender. You raised your free hand to your neck and rested it on the pendant. When you looked back up at Xiumin he was smiling down at you.

“How about a cup of tea, _______?” He smiled. “I’m sure my grandfather would appreciate your company, just as much as I will.” You found yourself nodding and stepped through the gap in the branches towards the big manor house, looking forward to an afternoon with the old man and his grandson.
