The sound of dead space was heard in the background of the video. Then, finally, the camera revealed the ground under the one holding it, “Oh! It’s working!” The male giggled as he twisted the camera around to face himself, a large pointed tooth grin showing before the camera went a bit further out to show the entire face.

It was a male with green hair and a gray cap to cover it all; his bright red eyes were protected by large black-framed glasses, which brought the most attention to the camera. “Hi, Moxxie! We wanted to show you Kanden taking care of—”

“Finn! Bring the camera here!” A deeper voice yelled out in the background; Finn turned to the side as the person grabbed his attention.

“Okay, okay! Here—!” Finn then turned the camera back around, showing a young male with black hair—nothing was too noticeable other than his abnormal height size. The male turned to the camera with a soft smile, a small child that seemed to be in their early stages, their fluffy blond hair poking in every direction.

“Kanden, don’t you want to clean up his hair a bit?” Finn whispered from behind the camera.

The dark-haired male frowned at him, fixing his sunglasses that slid down his nose bridge a while ago. “Why would I do that?? Their hair looks fine,” he mumbled in reply.

“It’s kind of….” Finn started.

“Kind of what?” Kanden’s voice seemed a bit agitated.

“Nothing…”

Kanden shook his head at Finn as he gave his child a building block after hearing a couple of their whines, “They’re perfect the way they are.”

A dark-skinned male walked into the screen, the camera shaking as Finn corrected the Zoom specifically for him. His skin was so dark that it glowed gray in the sun-like, matching perfectly with his black hair.

He was the definition of dark, tall, and handsome—but without the lab coat, he was wearing. “You should at least make them look presentable. What if Moxxie wants to show other family members in the future?” He said with a playful laugh.

“Then fuck them! They need to accept our son for who they are!”

“Just admit you don’t know how to do your son’s hair,” the other smirked as he bent down to the child, giving them a soft pat on the head.

“... Shut up, Oliver.”

“I’m just saying; I’ll do your son’s hair for you if you’d like.”

“... Fine! Whatever! Just make it quick—” Kanden turned to Finn, “You’re recording, right??”

“Of course, why are you actin’ like I can’t handle a camera—”

“Because you’re an idiot.”

“... Way harsh, dude—”

The camera then showed Oliver braiding little Dominic’s hair into one while Kanden played with him and his blocks, smiles everywhere.

“Moxxie, you and I both know what happens….” Finn spoke to the camera from behind as the three others weren’t listening, “Please keep this tape….” The boy could only whimper, sniffs heard from his end.

Kanden then glanced at Finn, doing a double-take as he heard the other, “Are you crying?!” He looked in disbelief.

“No! I just—!”

“The fuck is wrong with you?! Toughen up, man!”

“Many people get emotional in such soft moments,” Oliver chipped in, giving Finn his soft smile.

“He’s totally weird—”

“I’m just glad we’re alive and safe at this moment right now!” Finn cried out, the camera moving all over the place as he went to wipe his eyes with his arm.

Kanden and Oliver peep at each other before turning to the camera, bursting into innocent laughter. They didn’t understand what their friend was going on about, but it would come to light in the future. So, instead of telling, Finn decided to save this moment, cracking up with his friend about his overdramatic moment.

The last time they’d all be laughing in the same room together.
