wc: 2.8k
a/n: THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR 100 FOLLOWERS!!! I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH AND IN RETURN.... 😏....you guys get an absolutely soul crushing fic that almost made me cry while i was writing it. enjoy!!! 🥰 (i'm so sorry)
you were looking forward to your anniversary. three years. you and coryo had agreed to celebrate after your mentor work was done. that included touring the arena and preparing your tributes for the interviews.
you needed this plinth prize. your family wouldn't make it without the prize money in your possession. coryo offered to help you out, but you knew he couldn't contribute much. which meant you had to win the hunger games, or your tribute at least.
if your tribute, jessup diggs, didn't win, you had no shot at affording university. and without university, a well paying job wasn't in the question. so you were going to attempt to make the most out of the two events planned for the day. your boyfriend offered up some valuable advice to you in the days prior. his adjustments to the rules opened up some advantages. with the opportunity of sponsors, you just had to make jessup likable.
after your sit down meeting with jessup, you weren't as confident in his ability to win. his bat bite was getting bad. infection was going to consume him, or even worse some other disease bats could transmit. ebola, rabies, even. either way, it was going to be much harder for him to win. unless the others wiped the other tributes out, and he just waited it out. coryo had suggested that strategy to you. the two of you had talked for hours last night.
either way, it was now time to make your way to the arena. coriolanus, along with clemensia dovecote, had been pulled away, to dr. gaul's office. you hadn't seen him since the tribute meetings. but now, here, outside the gates of the arena, you waited for him.
they claimed they wouldn't start the tour until all mentors were there. that meant coryo. it was good to know he would be here for this. you saw his tribute, lucy gray baird, at the front of the line. she was amazing. a singer, from what you had heard on reaping day. coriolanus had told you that he was planning to get her to sing again. she was fidgeting, waiting for her mentor to arrive. you were too. you looked to your tribute, jessup besides you. he was fairly tall and strong, but he looked weak now. the bite got worse just in the period of time between your meeting and now.
"remember to take in every part of the arena. you need to familiarize yourself." you suggested. he didn't say anything, but nodded. he hadn't spoken much in the time you'd known him. you truly felt bad for him. you weren't supposed to get attached to your tributes. but jessup needed help. from a doctor. anyone. the minute the bell rings this time tomorrow morning, he would have little to no chance of winning. he was just a boy. he was a little younger than you. no one deserves to die that young.
while looking at him, you felt someone place a hand on your shoulder. you looked to your left and found your boyfriend, coryo, his hand resting on you. you de-tensed at his touch. you were glad he was here.
"hi." he was smiling now. he placed a quick kiss on your cheek and grabbed your hand in his.
"hey, coryo." you admired his features as he looked at you. the moment was interrupted when a peacekeeper shoved him forward. probably to align him with lucy gray. you hands were pulled apart. it was sudden. the peacekeepers had no time for pleasantries. when you could see he was next to lucy gray, the line began to move.
after numerous "enjoy the show!'s" you finally made your way in. it was very dark, you could barely see the person in front of you. there was a dim glow from capitol cameras gearing towards the front of the line. suddenly, a loud click allowed for all the windows to open in the arena, sunlight shining in. you gestured for jessup to follow you, and you made your way to coriolanus. he was with his tribute, in the center of the arena.
"do you know how long this is going to take?" you asked, regaining his hand in yours. he glanced over at you, his tribute too.
"they won't let us have much time." he said. he was probably right. it wasn't until a peacekeeper came on the PA system and claimed that you had 15 minutes to "tour the arena and discuss strategy." you nodded at the announcement. "stay by me, please. i wan't you safe. none of these tributes are cuffed." he said. you looked around. none of them seemed like immediate threats. they saw and were aware of the multiple peacekeepers assigned to each one. but you still, felt safer near coriolanus.
you turned to jessup, who was already looking around the arena. you surveyed it too. there was no where to go. it was a colosseum. a big circle with no escape. no where to go besides the main circle. you knew the games would be over quickly tomorrow. but you didn't want to tell jessup that. you assumed he already knew. but you had to say something. make use of this time.
as you opened your mouth, you were cut off by a loud boom. then another, then another, and another. you had no idea what was going on. you fell to the floor from the wind pushing you around. dust was everywhere. getting into your eyes and mouth and nose. suffocating. the loud noises kept on going. then you heard crumbling. the roof must have been falling. concrete was beginning to land everywhere around you. you heard shouting. then, you could identify a more specific voice. that of coriolanus's. he was shouting incoherently. you couldn't see him through the dust that hadn't yet settled. the loud booms stop, but the sound of the arena actively crumbling continued. you then felt sharp pains. in your legs, your arms, everywhere.
glass. it was getting everywhere.
you couldn't move. you were in a state of shock. and you were flat on the floor. every time you tried to crawl your body wouldn't budge. your boyfriend was still shouting things you couldn't make out. the ringing in your ears was too loud.
then he got closer. you could hear him better now. he was repeating the same word.
"MOVE!" you heard. he kept repeating himself. you understood him, but your brain wasn't working quite right. you still couldn't move. suddenly, you heard a screeching sound. metal. you managed to turn yourself onto your back. it was a bad idea. it wasn't until it was too late when you realized that the metal beam was falling in your direction. when you saw it become increasingly near, your body attempted to trigger fight or flight. you tried to move out of the way but it was too late. the beam slammed into you and everything went dark.
the first thing you heard was your heartbeat. then you heard some sort of beeping. then your sight came in. blurry at first, but your eyes eventually focused on a blank ceiling. you took a deep breath and attempted to move your head. looking around, you identified the room around you as some sort of hospital room.
the next thing you became conscious of was the fact that something hurt like hell. you pinpointed it to somewhere on your leg, but you couldn't see. you wondered if you were alone. that was soon proven wrong when you noticed a certain blonde standing in the far corner of the room. he was talking to a doctor. the words were incoherent. then you noticed something unsettling. there were streaks of tears down his face.
that couldn't be good.
soon he noticed you were awake, and immediately rushed to your side.
"oh my god, are you up?" you could tell by his shaky voice that he had been crying. hard. you nodded and he broke out into a smile. he brushed your hair from your forehead and replaced it with a kiss. you smiled back at him.
"what happened?" you asked. his smile faded at your question.
"there was a rebel bombing. seven died." the number hurt your heard.
"seven? seven..mentors? tributes?" you asked. you weren't sure how that was going to help you.
"a mix of both. mostly tributes." he answered. you knew you had been unfit for this mentor position. you were far too empathetic for this. you shouldn't have started crying at the tribute's deaths. but you did. coriolanus immediately noticed. he shushed you and wiped your tears with his handkerchief.
"hey. remember. it would have been worse to die in the games tomorrow, right?" his attempt at making you feel better did nothing much. his answer also confused you. it would be cruel to continue with the games tommorow.
"the games are still happening?" you asked. he nodded with a melancholy feeling. "that's- awful." you couldn't believe the acts of the capitol. "which mentors are...gone?" you hesitated to even say it.
"diana and apollo. felix ravinstill is in critical condition." you had known the siblings well. and felix, well, his dad was president. this would not go unnoticed.
"oh no." you sighed. he grabbed your hand and intertwined it with his.
"it's going to be ok. you're going to be ok." there was something strange about the statement. it was like he was reassuring himself and not you. you nodded, almost hesitantly. "i should have helped you. i just stood there and shouted like an idiot-"
"don't start with that. please. don't kick yourself for it." you re-assured him. then you felt a sharp pain in your leg. you winced. you hissed through your teeth and the unexpected feeling.
"what? what? what it is?" he was immediately shot into a state of panic.
"my leg!" you shouted. it felt like it was on fire. you immediately reached down to grab where it hurt out of instinct, and when you released it, you found blood on your hands, and lots of it. "my hands!" you shouted, tears running down your face. coryo was now standing up.
"we need a doctor! please!" he pleaded. you began to sob as it was the only thing you could think of to do. you watched as coriolanus looked down at your leg. he looked back up almost immediately, which was not a good sign. through thick, hot tears you saw a figure walk into the room with a team of men behind him. you saw as they ushered him out into the hallway. that only made you increasingly nervous.
you panicked as the lights began to fade again.
you were in a new room now. this one felt more, eerie. your boyfriend was sat beside you, his head in his hands. the only thing you could do was reach your arm out to his. he immediately jolted at your touch.
"coryo what happened?" it was all you could think about.
"um.." he stuttered. his breath was very shaky. "look. you lost-" he paused. "a lot of blood. in your leg. too much." he continued. you immediately got concerned.
"too much? what do you mean too much?" you mind began to race to every possible bad outcome.
"you're in critical condition." he finally blurted out what he had been meaning to say all along. your heart began to beat much faster.
"no. no. no. no. no. no. no-"
"hey, hey hey it's ok-"
"no." you began to cry again. in panem, you didn't know of very many people who made it out of critical condition. "coryo, i-" you paused. you considered lying to yourself. you considered thinking that everything was going to be ok. "i'm scared." you shuddered. instead, you went with the truth. "i-" the words you wanted to say made you want to throw up.
"what? please. tell me." he asked.
"i don't want to die." the phrase broke the wall between tears and sobs. admitting that death was a possibility in this situation made everything worse. no matter what comfort he would attempt to give you.
"you're not going to die. you're not going to die." he repeated. he once again seemed to be finding comfort in his own words.
"how do you know that?" you cried.
"i don't." he admitted. "but i don't want to think of anything like that until it becomes the most likely possibility. if it ever does." you saw a tear roll down his face.
you knew your body. you knew the condition you were in better than any of those doctors. so with a heavy heart, you did anything but ease your boyfriend's mind.
"coryo." there was now multiple tears scattered on his cheeks. "coryo." you picked his head up with your head. "it is the most likely possibility." you could immediately tell that he had already known that. his head fell again and you heard quiet cries. you rolled onto your back, the position you had started in. you looked up at the ceiling.
you had never been fond of death. it had always scared you, since you were a little girl. you had always hated the idea of the hunger games. you had watched one year and never again. mentoring in the hunger games was hard. you hated the games. the deaths were unnecessary. and each time the buzzer ruled them out, you just thought of their family.
and now that was happening to you. you knew that the buzzer would soon rule you out. you didn't know when. you knew how. and you knew that, it was going to be sooner rather than later.
you were terrified.
"i'm scared." you repeated. you tried to move your mind to something else. you found one thing, and it didn't help. "coryo. today's our anniversary." three years. you had almost forgot in the chaos of today. "i'm sorry we couldn't enjoy it." you continued to stare at the ceiling.
"it's not your fault." his voice was stern. "besides. we are spending time together. look at us. like our own private date." his joke somehow made you laugh.
"thank you for being here. i haven't even seen my parents." you admitted.
"they are outside. they just said they couldn't bear to see you like this." you admired coriolanus's bravery. you knew that your leg was not a pretty sight. the huge gash slicing it open. it was at this moment you began to feel lightheaded. you knew the blood loss was getting to you. you knew death was getting to you.
"coryo?" you asked for him. you turned over to face him again. he looked up at you. "can i have a kiss?" now usually he was rough, aggressive with his affections. but at this command, he was soft. he gave you a soft kiss on the lips and nothing more. you appreciated that this may be the last kiss you would share. "coryo?" you called for him again.
"yes?" he answered.
"do you promise you won't forget me when i'm gone?" your voice shook immensely. he didn't even try to counteract your statement. he knew.
"i could never forget you if i tried." you heard his voice quiver. "you're my love. my one and only love. i'll never love again." he declared.
"no, no don't do that. please. enjoy your life, ok? promise me you'll find somebody else to love." you closed your eyes. you couldn't bear the thought. it pained you to say it but it was necessary.
"i'll never love somebody as much as i love you." he grabbed your hand and pressed a kiss to it. a doctor came into the room. one wo had probably been monitoring your vitals from outside. all he did was give coriolanus a nod. you immediately saw tears fall from his face, though no sound was heard.
you focused on your heartbeat. you knew that time was ticking, and the doctor had just silently confirmed it. listening to your heartbeat, you noticed every once in a while, the beats would get farther apart.
"look, i-"
"i know what's happening." you couldn't bare to hear him say it. his tears became more rapid. you had stopped crying, however. you just wanted to be here with him.
"i'm going to stay, ok? i don't care how long it takes. i'm not leaving you." he stated. he tried to be loud even though his tears were silencing his words.
"just hold my hand." it was all you asked of him. "i love you." you said.
"i love you more." he replied, almost immediately. it had been a tradition the two of you had come up with. if one said "i love you," the other had to try to say it back as quick as possible. bonus points if you overlapped. the small gesture made you smile. you finally decided to close your eyes, and relax your body.
you heard the beeping turn into one long sound as you took a deep breath in. the last thing you heard was the boy next to you finally break down in a loud cry.
Mi trascino fuori dai miei incubi anche se non c'è sollievo nel risveglio.
Hunger Games

You'll be alright Come morning light

Live laugh love Finnick
~ 𝐒𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐜𝐫𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠
𝘍𝘪𝘯𝘯𝘪𝘤𝘬 𝘖𝘥𝘢𝘪𝘳 𝘹 𝘍𝘦𝘮! 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘚𝘶𝘮𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘺: You two are in the quarter quell, but your boyfriend couldn’t protect you from the jabberjays attack
Everything happened very fast, you were in the cornucopia, Wiress was killed there and then everything started to spin, and for a second you forgot all the alliance you had made with the group, you just wanted to find Finnick
He knew how to swim, everything was fine -you kept repeating to yourself-
Well, everything happened and now you were on the surface trying to rest a little, you played a with the sand, watching it slip from your fingers, until you heard
“KATNISS!” She stand up and run fast after hear the voice that called her. “PRIM! PRIM!” She screamed back and you went towards her
“WAIT! KATNISS!” You screamed trying to reach her, and soon noticed that the two were away from the group, alone
“Y/N! Y/N MY BABY" Everdeen heard a female, fragile and weeping voice calling for the girl and saw her face stunned. "No" you whispered talking as you ran your hand through your hair "Y/N PLEASE" the woman spoke again and you started shouting "MOM! MOM NO!”
Katniss held your arm strongly "They are jabberjays, it's not her!" She said, "Shit!These birds reproduce sound, where do you think they heard it from?" You asked and felt your head start to spin
You couldn't pay attention who shouted Katniss's name, many people already called yours
“Y/N! THEY'RE COMING! Y/N!” Now a male voice called you, you could only shout "DAD! DON'T LEAVE ME HERE!" Tears burned your eyes
Katniss was going in one direction and you followed her, interrupted by more screams you had to stop "MY LOVE! Y/N! Y/N" that voice you would recognize everywhere, Finnick your beloved screamed to all his lungs, but were the birds, how did they have his voice recorded, how?
You saw Kat hit a force field, she was trying to talk to Peeta, soon Finnick saw you and came towards you, "It's okay! They're just birds! Y/N, please!" He screamed as he hit the barrier but you couldn't hear anything, nothing but your parents shouting your name, panic set in your heart, you couldn't deal with all that, you couldn't
Finnick observed the despair in your face, you grabbing your hair and falling to the ground, some jebberjays came so close to you that they began to hurt you beyond psychologically, physically, and he had to watch all that imposing, watching his beloved suffer and not being able to do anything to help her
Peeta hit the glass while trying to talk to Katniss, you couldn't maintain self-control like her and ended up falling to the floor, you screamed while holding your head, trying somehow not to freak out
Some time passed, you didn't know how much, you forgot where you were, but never what you had heard
"Y/n, dear" someone called you while caressing your hair, you had passed out
"Finn" you raised your head looking at the boy. "It's okay, I'm here," he added and soon you were hugging each other. You just wanted to be anywhere else, as long that he was with you
✫彡
The group had returned to the beach, you were on Finnick's lap, the two watching the sea, feeling the body shiver every time a small wave came towards you
"Whet happened to her parents?" Katniss was direct when asking Johanna, seeing her expression saddened. “Y/n has to do services for the Capital…one day Snow said she could go back to district 4 just for dinner”
"What kind of ser-" Peeta said looking at her but soon understood "Oh”. "It happens that when she was arriving at home a truck with peacemakers was coming out of there" she took a deep breath to continue "Y/n opened the door and saw the parents… dismembered, Snow ordered to kill them" Peeta held Katniss's hand when she saw her eyes start to cry "It was her birthday you know, the President thought family was a distraction, even with her doing everything he wanted"
They watched the couple at the beach. "But Finnick helped her, right?" Johanna shook her head negatively "The president prohibited contact between the two".
"There comes a time that, when the threats are break even with you doing your part, you kind of do what you want, Finnick knew what happened and went to look for her" Beete added
"It must not have been easy-" Katniss started but Johanna interrupted her "Prostitute yourself and get home with your parents cut off on your birthday, with no one else you know? It shouldn't have been, and that's what the Capital does, that's what the fucking Snow does"
But you didn't hear all that, no, all that mattered was that you were with the person you love the most in the whole world, and with him by your side, you knew you could handle all that
"I love you Finn" you said as he wiped a tear of yours "I love you sugar cube" replied while kiss your lips.

𝘚𝘶𝘮𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘺: You tried everything and refuses to accept your feelings for Katniss, but you two live in the same house, so you have to talk to her
✫彡
You are sit on the window, remembering all the stupid things you did because you don’t want to accept what you feel for her. Isn’t because she is a woman, but because she is Katniss, if you allow yourself to love her you could never stop, this feeling is weird, makes you scare
“Love is weird” Johanna told you once, now you see that she was right
Now she is hurt because she saw you kissing a man on the bar, you didn’t stop her from running, so your plan was avoid her forever, at least until this feeling is over, but you two live in the same house, so is very complicated. So your mind come back to that moment, she whispering your name, tears coming to her face, her hand shaking and she running away, far from you. Good thing to blame yourself while eat a bowl of cherries
She never hide what se feel for you, the word “date” or “girlfriend” was never a topic in your conversation, the thing was casual but you don’t know in what moment you thought you’re going to rid of her, no one’s scapes from the girl on fire, and look cliche, but she burned your heart, in a delicious way that made sparks dance inside if your body every time you saw her, such a good feeling that you wanted more and more, and even living in peace after the revolution, you were afraid that this love would be your end
✫彡
The keys sound of someone open the door call your attention and you put your legs out of the window, what where you planning? Would you throw yourself out of the window just to avoid a conversation with Katniss because you’re a coward? She wouldn’t just ignore you, but she wouldn’t fight too
“Y/n” she whispered and left the room, she probably thought you wouldn't be here, especially eating cherries with a pajamas.
“Katniss, wait…” you couldn’t just let she slipped through your fingers, but at the same time you didn’t have enough courage to talk about this relationship
So now you were getting up to go after her but your body stopped when she turned towards you, Kat was there, you mess it up and now you're going to fix everything, you would go if your feet didn't seem to have been stuck on the floor with nails
“Wait…for what?” She says raising an eyebrow, she is disappointed and you can see it in her eyes, but Katniss want to look badass every time, you always told her that she didn’t need this barrier, not with you, now it seems like she is hiding this version that you love so much, the sweet Katniss, who loves to harvest cherries and strawberries for you, who talks about Prim with that especial and nostalgic shine on her eyes, who shows pictures that she receives of Finnick and his family and stay happy because he is happy, who you kiss the forehead while she is having nightmares, but you got them too, so she always comfort you
And even with all this, you still afraid of loving her, you wish you could say everything you think about her, but the true is that you already love Katniss Everdeen, you’d have to change the world to stop the feeling, and you wouldn’t want to change anything that is happening now, you couldn’t think about a life without her by your side
“I-I’m sorry” you said don’t letting the tears come to your eyes, she still stare you from the hall waiting you to finish. “Isn’t a excuse I know but- I tried to stop, to stop this feeling in my heart, to kill this butterfly in my stomach every time I saw you, I’m afraid” Katniss expression start to softly more but you still see the sadness on her eyes, and it kills you to know that is because of you. “Afraid of what? Of me?” She says raising her eyebrows with confusion, of course she is confuse, this whole situation is a mess
“No! I’m terrified of this feeling inside me, and I don’t know how I handle with this”
“What feeling?” You don’t know if she is asking for real or just torturing you to say it loud, but now she is closer and you can see a little bit of tears on her gray eyes, it was like a hurricane starting im the deep of her. People say that the eyes are the window of the soul, maybe this is true, because you can see the confusion in her face, in her thoughts, in the gray tonality of her eyes that make you feel lost, it’s like being in a fog, you don’t know the direction of anything and every thing that was in your mind before desapear
“Love…I think- I love you Katniss” you whisper feeling the salty taste in your lips of one single tear, you take two steps and almost touch Kat face, but a lot of things come to your mind and you just look at her with a puppy face.
“What I’m saying? I don’t think, I can’t think when I’m around you, I’m sure-“ you are interrupted by Katniss lips on yours, now you put your hand on her checks, a way to show that you want her close, you don’t want her to go away, never again, Snow isn’t here to separate you two again
Katniss on the other way, is very hurt, her heart is but the taste of your cherry lips was like a medicine, a medication, a drug that she knows is vicious, and the girl on fire don’t have any problem about being addicted to you, especially when she already knows that she isn’t alone in this relationship, when you feel the same
“I love you too” she whisper looking and your eyes and you quickly clean the tears that start to fall on her face and she smiles looking down. “I think that we can understand how this love thing works” she say to you with a shine of hope in her face
”With you, I’m sure” You smile and she starts laughing. “What?” God, how not to fall in love with her? Especially with this smile
“Y-your lips, they are so red” she answers, you don’t know if it was because of the cherrys or for the kiss. “Cherry darling, the taste of love” you saying kissing her again
Well, you messed up, but honestly? With Katniss Everdeen here by your side you would do everything she will order just to don’t see her hurt again.
