๐๐ก๐๐ฆ๐: Fluff and bits of angst(?)
๐๐จ๐ซ๐๐ฌ: 936
*เณเผ You danced for hours, and your feet became sore, blisters forming on your feet; practicing for your debut show, you couldn't mess it up, not with the chance you got from the table.
Sweat poured from your body; you refused to give up; it wasn't in your will; you were going to master it and not even caring that your legs were going to collapse on you.
Your coils bouncing from your sudden moveth,
Your reflection bounced off the mirrors, mimicking your moveth, music booming from the boombox, and your shoes were almost worn out.
This was your chance to enter stardom, and you let anyone take that light from you, not on your watch, dreaming of being an idol of girls like you, of looking up to you as an inspiration, breaking the wall and barriers of socially and racial segregation.
Tired..that was the only thing in your mind, but you weren't going to rest; you heard the door open, and that was the only time you stopped and looked to see who it was in the studio.
You turned off the music and went to the door.
Eddie; he was standing there holding the water bottle you accidentally left while rushing to the studio.
"What are you doing here, ed?" you walked to him; even though your legs might just stop, you endured it.
"I'm here to give this back to you, Y/N." Eddie handed back your water bottle; you took it from his hand.
"Thanks!" there was a pause; it was a bit awkward, "Well, uh, it seems that you worked up a sweat," Eddie said; you chuckled at his comment, "I guess so,"
Another pause came in, "Well, uh, I going to head back-" you reached for his hand.
"N-no, please stay, Eddie, with me here in the studio." you pulled him back.
"Is everything okay, Y/N" Eddie gently cupped your face; when he said that to you, you tried to keep yourself composed, but even you those words hit something inside of you, some sort of vulnerable, turned you into a crying mess.
Tears stained your face, rolling down your cheeks; you couldn't keep them in anymore; you couldn't hide your problems, especially when you were in them.
"I-I'm sorry," you muttered; Eddie didn't even respond to you; he hugged you, your face gently hitting his face, your salty tears staining his shirt.
Your heavy breathing echoed the room; Eddie hugged you tightly and kissed your head, "You know, can talk me, Y/N,"
"It's just I don't feel good enough and don't I'm strong enough to endure everything that is going on, E-Eddie, I'm sorry-" your sentence was cut off by Eddie kissing you with reassurance, "I know you're trying your best, Y/N, but don't over exert yourself trying, okay... your too important to me" Eddie hugged you tightly.
After that was a comfortable silence, "You should rest; you look like you are tired, babe."
"No, I have to," Eddie's finger pressed to your lips to motion you to stop talking, "Nonsense, some rest won't hurt you, Y/N."
"I guess so," you muttered.
You left the studio with Eddie and went to his trailer; you were currently on his bed laying on his lay, him playing with your hair, as you voiced your problems to him; he was a really understanding guy, and you were thanking god that you met him, and he was your own boyfriend, people were wrong about him being a freak, he's just a guy getting through life.
"I-i feel like I won't do good at all." you looked up to see his face.
"Babe, you're the Y/N Sinclair, you can do anything you want, and I believe in what you do" Eddie held your face and nuzzled it.
"Thank you, Ed, for being with me" you got up from his lap and hugged him enjoying his warmth and presence, wishing you could stay like that together with him.
โฐโโค A Few days later
It is the day of your recital. The day you were practicing your ass for, the day to show them all what you can do.
You were in your costume, breathing in and out, a bit hesitant about the outcome.
Fiddling your thumbs, thinking about everything, your heart was beating out of your chest, butterflies in your stomach.
You opened the curtain slightly, looking at the people in the crowd and the judges; seeing your family made you feel better, but you were still anxious.
You felt a sudden tap on your shoulders; you flinched to see it was Eddie, but how did he get backstage.
"Eddie, you scared me" you rush to hug him; you were glad he was here, there to support you.
"You thought I would miss your dance performance, princess" he hugged you back and kissed your face.
"I'm so glad you're here, Ed!" you smiled with glee.
"2 mins to showtime, Y/N," one of the directors yelled.
With Eddie here, you were less anxious than before, but you had to perform; you were tense.
Eddie held your face; you were looking at him, "Y/n, you're going to do great, and I know you're going to do great, and rock that fucking dance floor." Eddie kissed you on the forehead and looked at you.
You looked at him with awe, taken back at his words, "I will," before you walk to your position.
"..And Y/N," he yelled at you; you glanced back at him
"Knock them dead," he smiled; it seems you just needed that boost to surge your confidence.
This was definitely going to be a core memory.

The rain droplets over the roof. A storm was occurring; you sat beside Muzan in his sickly form. Dipping down a small towel in cold water and putting it on his forehead as you sat near him.
You were his fiancรฉ to be soon married by him, but it couldn't be due to the state of his body. Your eyes couldn't help but produce tears from your eye, dripping down to your lap, as you stared at his miserable form. Feeling a cold hand brushing your cheek, "I hate it when you cry" Muzan muttered, you held his hand to your cheek as you tried to smile, but your lips faltered.
"I-i know," you whispered, looking at him, tears threatening to fall out, as you breathed in. "Just why do they have to be so cruel" your lips trembled, "Just why" you cried.
You took Muzan's hand off your cheek and gently placed it near the sides of his body. You looked at his him again, he was soon passed out, before you looked at the door opening up to one of the doctors assigned to Muzan.
"Good afternoon, Mrs. L/N," he said to you slightly bowing down to you, as you got up dusting off your kimono, you tilted your head at him and walked out of the room. Stepping down on the tatami floor, going outside, as the feeling of the cold dropping rain on your skin, staining your kimono, as you stepped backward underneath the roof.
Sitting down on the leveled floor, you back leaned on the pillar as you stared at the abyss of the sky. Your eyes soon closed as you slipped into slumber.
Before heard a loud thud on the ground, fully waking you as you ran almost tripping on the wet floor, as you quickly opened the door to Muzan's room, looking at him covered in blood standing for what you thought was the first time, his hand holding a butcher knife to the doctor head, that laid there collecting a pool of blood.
"M-muzan, what did you do" you whispered, covering your mouth in horror.
His mouth was still stained with a bright blue pigment on his lips, as he stood his ground without any help or distance at all. His pupil was formed like a cat and the color of crimson.
You stood there in silence before he dashed straight out you covering your mouth, as your eyes only stare at him with fear. You didn't know who he was anymore.
He looked at you straight through the eyes, your heavy breathing, making your heart pump faster. You looked at his nail that grew sharper than any sword you have seen before.
He soon took his hands off your mouth, cupping your cheeks, while tears threatened to slip out of your eyes, as you stared at him. Someone that once your lover, turns into a deranged animal right in front of you. You opened your mouth to say his name but were soon entrapped into a kiss with him.
Your pupils shake, from the sudden intimacy. Before closing your eyes leaning into the kiss.
Before he withdrew from our lips, staring into your own, as you looked at him bewildered by his appearance, "My precious, Y/N" He brushes your cheek, and his fingers brushed your lips.
"I'm no longer someone weak, not anymore" he whispered to you.
"M-muzan....you just murdered someone" You took his hand away from your face, as you backed away from his figure.
"Y/N, he was just a lowly doctor, who could do nothing but to bickered and give me nonsense creations of his medicine" he exclaimed, extending his hand to you.
You backed away more when he took a step away, your body melting with fear. "You're not someone who I used to love, your monster" you screamed out before dashing towards the door, before you could, muzan was right there.
His body leaning towards you, "Y/N, don't be like that" he spat, as he soon got annoyed by how you were acting.
"Get away from me" you lashed out.
You were too slow for a man not to catch up with you with his newfound abilities. He grabbed you, hid nails digging into you, as you winced in pain. "There is nothing to be afraid of," he said, trying to comfort you but you flinched away from his touch.
His eyebrows twitched, as he soon threw you down to the floor, and you yelped in pain.
You crawled away from him before getting pulled, his shadow creeping into yours. He kneels towards you. Before he looked at your figure on the ground as pieces of your kimono were off of your body, exposing your undergarments, "Muzan, please" you cried.
"Be gentle" you said.
His nails cut the thin pieces of fabric off your body, leaving your body bare. His eyes are hungrily staring at your naked body.
"Muzan, please promise me...if we do this, you'll stay with me " you begged, your lips trembling, you clasped his hand with your yours.
"From the beginning and end, my dear" he answered you with a kiss. He gently pried your legs open, his body between yours.
You closed your eyes, feeling his member sinking into your wall. As you registered the pain. You winced. His pace picked up, as he trusted you.
Every time he dragged himself out of you, plunging himself into you, you moaned in pain. Covering your hands to your eyes. His tempo frantic plunging into you, your body jolting from the tempo.
The pain simmering into pleasure, as he slides into you. As he held it down to your waist gripping it, his nail digging into drawing out blood.
"Shit" he groaned, as his animalistic thrust goes into you, pounding right into you. Your arms holding onto him, as he bit your collarbone, littering your body with love bites, the taste of blood going into his senses.
As his animalistic urges grew.
He dragged himself in and out of you repeatedly his pelvis brushed onto your own, and you moaned out. You felt a warm feeling growing in you, as you felt the core snap. A blow of heat washing through your body.
Your juices coating his dick, his thrust going in faster into you. Your breast jolts in the temp, bouncing with him.
The simple pleasure of making you hooked, feeling himself plunging himself into you. The room makes your body feel hot. You cocked your head away, releasing your arm from the grip.
His pace soon slowed down, and as his thrusts gets sloppier. His nail in denying further into your skin. Soon pouring himself into you, coating your walls white.
He groaned, his body leaning forward. Bruising your hip even more. You looked at his form through the tears on your thick lashes.
You're heavily breathing being heard, as you covered your sweating face.
Before he pulled out of your tired figure, you stare at him with sleepy eyes, "You did well, Y/N" he said, brushing the excess hair off of your forehead.

n.o.t.e.s - Uh, sorry but not posting?

p.a.i.r.i.n.g - Ajax x Reader
w.a.r.n - cheating, angst with no fluff, alcohol usage, RAGE, cursing, and maybe some dark content
As the light was off, you were lying on your share bed underneath the fluffy covers, looking at the ceiling, waiting for him to come home; it was past midnight, and the bed was still cold.
The crackling of the fire fills your hearing; the midst of the night was the only thing showing through your window as the sharp moonlight pierced through window.
Tossing and turning into your bed, not feeling the warmth of your darling, Childe. You know his work was stressful being a fatui harbinger, but it wasn't one of his vacations; sure, you understand that he didn't want to be cooped up with you, but it was a bit odd of him not sharing affection with you.
But you couldn't help but flip to your right, where he was to be, probably out with his friend, Zhongli, you noted.
But you have always thought that on the outside, at least, he didn't think of the one to party at least. Drink though? You didn't want to be that girlfriend; who would think of his boyfriend cheating? That's something you didn't want to admit or think of.
"But what if-"
"CREAKK-" the sound of the door creaking open, interrupting your thinking as you glance at the figure coming in. The silhouette of your beloved Childe standing inside the room; the wretched smell of alcohol swamped your sense of smell; taking another look at him, you quickly pressed your eyes closed.
The smell of alcohol getting closer, almost suffocating, you felt him looking at you, hovering over you; it felt as if he was standing there forever. Soon the feeling was over; you were pressing your eyes shut, taking a peek out to see your ginger boyfriend, the moonlight glaring at him, maybe if it was your tired eyes, but you couldn't help but see red marks like lipstick marks littering over his skin.
You just dismissed your thoughts; maybe your eyes were playing tricks on you; there's no way that it can be factual or accurate, as you tried rolling onto your side, denying the evidence that could support it, failing to realize salty tears rolling down your cheek.
But over time, those thoughts started to plague your mind, everytime you tried to think of something else, that memory will pop up, like its a curse.
Oddly enough, it seems like it was happening like a timeline, the time you talk to Childe or even saw his face decrease, sometimes you would try your best to strike up a conversation with him, and he's just dismissed you abruptly. He promises to be home on time for dinner but doesn't even make it; maybe over time, you just stopped believing those little white lies through the relationship.
It was just you sitting at the dinner table, staring at the chair he was supposed to be in, and the food becoming quickly cold.
..It was becoming frustrating, slamming your fist on the table and rattling it as you got out of your seat.
Your relationship with Childe was cracking. If I had to be admitted, it would be now.
Your suspicions were rising, the times you got stood up were adding, every time he would apologize by buying you gifts, but those gifts couldn't ever really fill what you really wanted.
As we spoke, you were venting to your best friend, Thoma; he was a good listener, always hearing you out. He was caring and was there for you in your times of doubt.
He was your best friend from childhood, it was obvious that he was angry for someone playing with your feeling, and he was there for me and would be your shoulder to cry on.
Anyone would notice that he wanted to replace your boyfriend, Childe.
Looking out the window, It was obvious that you were stupid. You hadn't confronted him at all.
Today would be the day you couldn't put this facade up.
You were apprehensive needless to say about the decision you made but it was for the better for you, Thoma would always say to you.
But when you came back, It was ironic that all the days he was busy, today was the day he wasn't off doing something stupid. It was safe to say you were scared about it and maybe had some time that you almost backed out from doing it.
As you walked into his office, he noticed your presence as you walked into the room, "Goodmorning babe" he uttered, you didn't reply to him, you just sat down at his desk, "Did something happen?"
"You know what happened, don't play stupid," you yelled, snapping at him; you were tired of him obliviously not knowing what he did, the false promises he made to you, and cherry on top, what happened the day before when his body was littering with lipsticks prints and marks on his body, you weren't stupid that those marks were won over a fight.
"Is this about me missing out on our date? If it is, I'm sorry about that, sweetheart" he tried to reach for your hand, but you pulled away and looked at him in a fury. "Who was it?" you said
"What do you mean, Y/N."
"Don't play dumb; who was the whore you were sleeping with, Childe."
It finally hit him, you were never sleeping on the day he came back home; you were awake and saw it and everything else.
"So..WHO THE FUCK IS IT, CHILDE" you stood and yelled at him. He didn't even look at you or respond to you.
"Your quiet now, huh? You thought your little affair would pass me; you think I'm a FUCKING DUMBASS."
"I'm not going to be yelled at in my own house," he uttered.
"Fine, then im fucking leaving," you yelled and stomped off, grabbing a suitcase, grabbing some of your essential clothes and items.
"Where are you going" Childe came into your shared bedroom, "Leaving this place since you think fucking any woman is okay when you're in FUCKING RELATIONSHIP" you threw one of his gifts at him and packed more of your stuff.
As you tried to close off your suitcase, Childe's hands were pressed to the top of the suitcase, and he grabbed your wrist with his other hand, "Are you insane."
"Listen, Y/N, I'm sorry I didn't mean it."
"You didn't mean it? So you magically accidentally fucked them, that's what you telling me right now?" you tried to take his grasp off your wrist.
"I can't live without you, Y/N."
"You should think of the thought of that when you did that" you snatched your hand away, grabbed your suitcase, walked to the door, and opened it before the door was slammed shut with his hand.
"What the hell, Childe."
"You can't."
"I can't what? Be independent and have a life without you."
"You don't know, you need me, Y/n, you need me."
"I don't need you for shit, damnit, take your hand off."
He grabbed you by your wrist and pinned you by the wall, "Are you crazy, Childe."
"You can't leave me, sweetie" I need you" as he stroked your face
"Are you fucking d-" you were cut off before his sword was pressed near your neck,
"If I can't have you, then nobody can."

part one: stop, youโre losing me || part two: in the trees, in the breeze
๐๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐๐ซ๐ฒ_ Coriolanus Snow had once a sweet girlfriend that helped him in his darkest days. Until he betrayed her and on the post-Hunger Games celebration, he gave her all the reasons to leave him. Not without causing her a breakdown that makes him regret everything.
๐๐๐ซ๐ง๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฌ_ capitol ballerina!reader, soft!Coryo at the beginning, slight canon divergence, manipulation, sex implied, violence, reader has a mental breakdown that ends in tragedy, if you donโt want to read about mental health, beware!!!!!!
๐๐ฎ๐ญ๐ก๐จ๐ซ'๐ฌ ๐ง๐จ๐ญ๐_ I had to split this into two parts. Next part will be slowburn, early politician!Coryo realising he married a half rebel woman and many many dramaaaa. Songs for this: Stop, youโre losing me and tรญrate lol.
__________________________________________________________________________
It wasnโt possible. But Coriolanus could swear that even days after, the smell of fresh paint was still lingering on the air of his penthouse. Maybe because the smell was actually gone since a week ago, but he refused to let go the memory of you and your face with splotches of paint.
On a bright winter morning, you appeared early with buckets of paint. Tigris insisted that none of the Snows could accept the offer, saying it was too much. The walls were full of humidity, paint falling by itself. You could see the sadness on Grandmaโam, she was a patriotic woman, but that didnโt stop her to miss the days before the war, where the penthouse was bright and full of life.
Through a peaceful argument, as Tigris insisted on not taking the buckets of paint, you had already opened one and with a big brush, you splashed a wall from the entrance. The new color was shiny on top of the old layer, and it brought a giant smile to the elder woman.
Coriolanus had so much fun, thinking his girlfriend was the best and listening to the old radio as both of you painted the whole place.
Now, the place was still a mess, but the bright olive-green walls made it better.
It had been a thing of destiny that you appeared on the second year of the Academy. You were a loner, always choosing to work on your own for projects. During lunch, you only had two girlfriends, and Coriolanus was able to see that you laughed so hard every time you were with them. He also learned you had a dark humor, making fun of everyone. Like the school staff, Arachne Crane, other classmates, even the president. He grew curious of you. And one random day, after only you and Coriolanus where the only people missing a partner, a teacher matched you two.
Some months later, you discovered about his financial situation. And Coriolanus had been so scared, thinking you would share the secret and ruin his life. But the next morning, you handed him half of your lunch, knowing he was starving, because at the time, the Academy didnโt offered lunch yet.
The act made Coriolanus Snow realize he could trust you. You met his cousin and grandmother, bringing a giant box full of pastries as a present for them.
Tigris was at the verge of tears and immediately thought you were the one for his little cousin.
Soon it became real. After you turned seventeen, he asked if you wanted to be his girlfriend.
โCORYO! ITโS ABOUT TO START! HURRY UP!โ Tigris shouted from the kitchen. He sighed, only to end up coughing.
โALMOST DONE!โ He shouted back. His wet hair making him shiver, rapidly wandering across his room to find his body lotion. Eucalyptus. Coriolanus used to hate the smell of eucalyptus. But he started liking the odor since you had a candle made of it in your room. A little after, you gifted him a lotion and perfume of eucalyptus.
Only that Coriolanus couldnโt smell since his nose was congested. He caught a flu, and while he was feeling better, he was still struggling to inhale and breathe properly.
โIF YOU ARE NOT HERE IN THE FOLLOWING FIVE MINUTES, IโM COMING TO GET YOU!โ Coriolanus giggled at his cousin threatening him. After putting on a warm sweater and some dressing pants, he came out of his room.
His family was already gathered in the living room, with the tv on. He turned to the dining table, looking at the bouquet of white and red roses, he smiled, hoping you would be happy to see them. Spring was around the corner, the firsts flowers from his grandmotherโs top garden had bloomed. At the same time, your first-year anniversary with the young Snow was coming.
The annual gala of arts had existed since the first days of Panem. With music, sculpture, paint, drama and dance performances. It used to be private, then the war happened, and it was suspended. And now, it had been five years since it started to be a show anyone with a tv could see.
Your father was the owner of production establishments of Panem, who happened to have married a famous dancer, also owner of the biggest dance company in the Capitol. No clue how you turned out to be a wonderful sight on stage.
And thatโs why Coriolanus was expected to come and see the tv. You were about to perform in the gala.
โWhoโs out now?โ He asked, sitting beside Tigris.
Grandmaโam was crocheting something pink and the whole place was cold as the North Pole.
โA girl from District 1.โ Before meeting you, Coriolanus had less than the slight knowledge on dance styles. He just knew it was mostly for women, with exorbitant gowns and shoes that seemed pretty. However, the girl on the screen was dancing with bare feet, along a man.
Some weeks after Coriolanus accepted he had feelings for you, he questioned if it was a good idea to join your motherโs dance company so that you would fall easily for him. It wasnโt necessary because you liked him as soon as he made you smile and laugh.
โOh Coryo! Sheโs next!โ Tigris said, taking his hand while looking nervously at the tv. Seconds later, you appeared, immediately Grandmaโam started to cheer and say out loud how beautiful you looked. Red and black dress with a ruffled tutu, your pink thighs and pointe shoes in a perfectly hidden ribbon. And a red flower with feathers and sequins in your head that had Tigris worried about. She made the headpiece for you. And she feared it would fall from your head. Coriolanus soothed her before coming back to smile like an idiot on the tv.
That was his girlfriend. He had literally pulled one of the most beautiful, if not the most perfect girl of Panem.
The music started and it was a delight for him. He always enjoyed classical music. And the one you danced along was a little faster and vivid than usual, making it impossible to keep any eye in any other place but you and your cocky smile.
Coriolanus knew you had an ego. And he loved to fuel it by saying how gorgeous you were all the time. So, he couldnโt wait for you to arrive on his door. Even when he pleaded you not to come, since he didnโt want to be a contagious asset for you. You hadnโt care, bringing some medicines, chicken broth soup and a lot of mint to help with his congestion the day before.
Thatโs why he felt even more empowered to keep going and win that prize. It was announced before the winter break and the holidays. He promised himself to win so he could become someone. Enough greater to make him worthy from having you. Because now at eighteen, he aspired to be in your life forever.
So, as you shined on that stage, spinning and standing on pointe, Coriolanus mentally repeated that he loved you. He said it occasionally to you, but most of the time he preferred saying it by holding your hand, kissing you and helping with your homework. Sometimes he wondered what true love was. If he was a capable of giving that to you. He wasnโt able to give you presents, only a tiny bouquet of flowers from his grandmaโam. He couldnโt take you out on dates to fancy restaurants, not even offering you to stay for dinner in his place. Your dates where on his old rooftop, your bedroom or patio. Unlike you, who came every Friday after school with food for the family. You constantly gifted little things, like perfumes, a new shirt, anything to make his life easier.
His smile only grows bigger as your performance is about to be over. He admires the way your body is able to be so flexible and consistent. He had also seen the pain behind looking like an elegant feather. Some afternoons when he visited your room, you were tired, soaking your feet in warm water to soothe the ache.
But for now, he treasures the image of your smile as you make some reverence, ending your presentation.
โOh dearโฆ She was perfect!โ Grandmaโam said happily, with the round of applause on the tv in the background.
โAnd the headpiece survived the whole time!โ Coriolanus rolled his eyes, smiling at his cousin.
As his family talked about your dress and the investments of your parents, the blonde boy returned to see the flower bouquet.
He really hoped you would love them, that you hadnโt turned bored of only receiving flowers from him.
One day, he would buy you expensive jewelry. He would give you the finest dinners and he would find the most beautiful house around the area for you. Only that way he would feel worthy of having you. Only that way he would find appropriate to call you his in all matters.
For now, he was just hanging there. Doing everything to win that prize. Giving you the least he had and shyly accepting all the things you provided him. Thatโs how he knew you truly loved him. You cared for his family and him. And Coriolanus swore nobody on earth would care that much for him like you.
Making it the main reason why he knew he had to rush it. He had to give you everything.
Not that you minded.
As you encouraged the family driver; Trevor, to take the route he considered most convenient to make it faster to your boyfriendโs place. You smile.
Oh, how you loved your boy.
You loved greeting him with a kiss on the lips followed by little pecks around. He giggled, probably believing you were so silly, but he would lean to kiss you so deeply again.
โWeโre almost there, missโ you nod, looking through the window.
โThank you, Trevor.โ
โShould I wait or send Roger to pick you up late?โ Roger was your fatherโs bodyguard. He was tasked to take care of you for his night shift sometimes. You liked Trevor better; he was a kind man of family. You had met his wife and beautiful daughters, sending them presents for their birthdays.
โNot sure yet. But you can go home and rest. Itโs Friday and you need to be with your family, Trevorโ he smiled, thinking how sweet you were. He cared a lot for you, almost like another daughter.
โYour mother wonโt be happy. She was already irritated that you left the gala so earlyโฆโ
โDonโt worry. Iโll figure it outโ with that being said, he parked outside of the building. Trevor handed you some bags, full of food, wood and other things. Then your ballet bag. Ready to leave. The whole day, after leaving the Academy, you were only lounging to finish with the gala to went straight to your manโs arms.
โIf anything, you call me. Alright?โ You smile nodding at the man.
โAlright.โ After a exchange of smiles, you wave him goodbye, and he disappears through the empty street.
It was a cloudy day, Lucky Flickerman said it was going to be a thunderstorm night at the Capitol. Gripping your coat tightly, you enter the building.
โฆ
The door suddenly is open, and Coriolanus hears your voice calling from the entrance.
โWhereโs everyone?โ Tigris volts out from the living room, hurrying to greet you.
โBut of course, we were watching you on the tv. Where else?โ You laugh, hugging the young woman.
Then Grandmaโam also joins to greet, saying you are gorgeous on stage.
โAnd whereโs my boy?โ You asked, wandering around. Coriolanus finally appears from the hallway with a smile. You could tell he had showered. His curls looked softer than ever.
He wants to laugh; you are still on thighs. With some black heels, and he can see a tutu under your coat.
Tigris and the elder woman decide to take the food to serve dinner, leaving you and your boyfriend alone. Both of you hear them saying how thankful they were to have food another week.
You open your arms, and he goes straight to hug you. Your hands cradle his face before standing on your tip toes to kiss him.
โHow are you feeling?โ He seemed to look and feel better. Apparently, the medicines worked.
โA lot betterโฆโ
โI missed you.โ He also did. If his health hadnโt been compromised, he wouldโve attended the gala with you.
โMe too. But you should have stayed home.โ It had been a rough week at the Academy, the rehearsals for the gala, acting as a nurse for your sick boyfriend.
โWe always spend Fridays together, silly.โ He doesnโt deserve you.
โYou were beautiful today. Althoughโฆ youโre always perfect.โ You blush, kissing his cheek before following him inside his penthouse.
The smell of mashed potatoes, the piece of ham you brought, and bread fill the place. It had been a little while since Coriolanus could only smell the boiled cabbage and hear his stomach painfully churning.
When you enter the room, you see the big bouquet of roses. You turn to see Coriolanus in disbelief, smiling.
โI hope you like themโ the jar is old, but it looks amazing with the perfectly accommodated flowers. Your fingers gently grasp the soft petals. You are so in love with him.
โI will never get tired of this. I love them!โ You turn around and Coriolanus sees your face full of adoration. You literally jump to kiss him. Always being received by the passionate yet slow and delicate of his kisses. One hand gently on your neck while the other rested on your cheek. Some strands of his blonde curls brushing against your forehead as your heels make it slightly even when it comes to height.
โLook at them. My future president of Panem and his First Lady.โ Tigris giggles at his grandmother, but smiles deeply, happy to see his little cousin in love. And extremely thankful that he found a warm and generous woman like you.
โLetโs just pray that they graduate for now, Grandmaโam.โ She adds grabbing the old porcelain plates they have to serve the food.
And itโs a thunder what startles you, squirming away from your boyfriend. He laughs, holding you closer again after seeing you got scared.
โItโs raining!โ Tigris announces from the kitchen.
โGuess youโll have to stay the night.โ His cheeky smile makes you gently push him. Your mother was going to be mad. But Tigris would intervene and say it was okay.
It wasnโt the first time you stayed though.
โฆ
There are at least six candles around the room. The temperature decreased significantly after dinner. The water you used to clean the dishes was almost freezing. And Coriolanus wanted to die out of embarrassment when you started heating water on the fireplace to take a shower.
You had said it was nothing and that you donโt mind. But still, he felt so wrong.
Now, he was seating against the head of his bed. Watching how you curated your swollen feet. You pinched some blisters with a needle that had carefully been burned with a match. And now, it was time to put some cream and finally wrap the area with bandages.
โDoes it hurt a lot?โ He asked.
โNot much. Iโm used to it nowโ you replied without looking at him. Still concentrated on your feet.
โIโm sorry about the water.โ You frown, finally turning to see him.
โWhy do you keep apologizing?โ He shrugs, slightly irritated.
โBecause I wish I could give you more and I canโt.โ he didnโt mean to sound so harsh, but he does. Your lips form a line, before crawling until you mere kneeling bedside him on the bed.
โI hate to see you doing things you donโt have the necessity to do so. I hate not being able to treat you like my girlfriend and more like friend. I want to give you the world and I canโt.โ
โCoriolanusโฆ Look at me.โ You take his hand, and with the other, you are tracing invisible line on his chin with your thumb. He looks at you, eyes slightly watered, making your heart swell for him.
โLife couldโve been so different, I couldโve been in your position, and you in mine.โ He closes his eyes, thinking about his terrible luck.
โYou charmed me before I knew everything about you. You know it, right?โ He nods, tilting his head just to feel more of your touch. In response, you are again grabbing his cheeks.
โYou have to let me help you now. Thatโs what couples do. They help each other. One day youโll be able to give me anything you want. But for now, I will give you anything just to not see you struggling. Nor your familyโ your forehead is brushing his, and he can only attempt to nod as you speak.
โAnd remember, my love. You already make me happy. Iโm already proud of you.โ He doesnโt cry, but heโs at the verge of. He just hides his face on your neck. And thereโs a wet spot on your skin, but you donโt say anything, you just tighten your embrace of him, smiling as you kiss his hair.
โI love you.โ He says and it surprises you. While you know he loves you, you are aware that heโs not used to say it very often.
โI love you too, Coryo.โ
He promises himself that he will do everything in his will to chase power. To change his faith and give you what you deserve.
The thunderstorm was powerful enough to scare you once in a while. As you were playing cards with Coriolanus, he took your hand every time you got startled. Tigris said goodnight and suggested to keep the door unlocked. Making you blush and Coriolanus too.
โIโm bored.โ You said, laying on your side, facing your boyfriend. He dropped his joint of card too, hand landing on your hip, caressing the skin.
โWhat do you want to do?โ You notice the way heโs touching you. Itโs slightly inappropriate and it makes you grin.
โYou are already suggesting somethingโ his eyes widened, embarrassment flooding him.
โIโm sorryโ you chuckle, noticing how shy and insecure he could be.
โDonโt you want to?โ Itโs your next move what almost makes him choke. You move forward, taking a sit on his lap.
โOf course I want to. Just not here.โ You roll your eyes, hands massaging his shoulders, making him groan in delight. Your cream nightgown had lifted, showing him your bare legs. The long sleeve felt so soft against his hands.
โAs long as youโre with me, I donโt mind where weโre doing it.โ Heโs unsure, but he can feel himself getting hard. Finally, after months of having only the company of his hand, he could claim you. He doesnโt love that itโs going to happen in his old bed, in his messed-up room. But you look so gorgeous with bare light from the candles. Now half naked showing him for the first time your naked body.
โAre you sure?โ He asks one last time, feeling a string of saliva connected between your lips and his. Itโs dirty, messy and extremely erotic to be the first time.
โBelieve me, nothing wakes up Tigris and Grandmaโam. Weโre safeโฆโ
โAlright. I trust you, Coryo.โ
โGood. Now get on your back and spread those legs for me.โ His possessive side would always surprise you. But you enjoyed it. And now, as the thunderstorm keeps going you let his possessive side dominate you.
โGod, I love you.โ You say as he makes you believe the rain falling outside were actually stars.
โฆ
โLook at the tragic lovers, already in pose for a war memorial portraitโ. You roll your eyes at Arachne. You hear Felix, Festus and even Clemmie laughing along other classmates. Coriolanus ignores her, taking your hand, reassuring you. The building was getting crowded. The Reaping was around the corner, but you were only praying for your boyfriend. Hoping to leave the place with the prize on his hands.
โCareful, Arachne. One day they might have a portrait in the parliament buildingโ Clemensia says giggling.
โHow? Because Coriolanus would be Panemโs president and y/n as First Lady? Allow me to laughโฆโ you can listen to her annoying voice. Something you always wished was a good friendship with your classmates. But it was difficult. Arachne was very competitive and judgmental; Festus was tedious along Felix. Persephone was extremely quiet; Livia was too naรฏve. Only Clemensia and Sejanus seemed to be genuine with you.
โWho knows?โ Sejanus spoke from the other side of rows, walking to seat beside Arachne and your boyfriend. You smiled at him, and he reciprocated it. Coriolanus was too lost on his thoughts to pay attention to the little argument. Until Sejanus tilted his head to whisper something to him.
โThere is no prize anymore.โ The blonde turns to look at him in confusion. But the ceremony has officially started. He feels you taking his hand in disguise. And itโs the only reason why he feels less nervous.
Until Dean Highbottom reveals the sudden changes, which makes your heart pound faster. And without a warning, the listing of tributes begins. You look away when you see the little girl named Wovey being focused on camera, the sadness and uneasy churn in your stomach hitting you by the end of District 11 tributes.
And finally, the songbird is paired with Coriolanus.
He sees the way you frown, cringed by her singing. Even when she had a wonderful voice, it was unexpected and certainly odd for some. Then, he sees you cover your mouth in disbelief when she curses on the microphone. Coriolanus canโt tell, but he assumes itโs gonna be a little difficult to deal with that girl. Seeing zero chances to win.
Then he realised the tributes were mentioned. The Reaping had finished.
Itโs over. Everyone has a tribute except for you. Dean Highbottom resumes the listing walking away, making you turn to see him, raising your hand immediately. Ready to ask questions.
โPut your hand down, Miss y/l/n. Itโs not a mistake the order of the listingโ you hear Dr. Gaul saying firmly. When you turn around, sheโs there, offering a cold yet deep look with her unmatched eye irises.
Slowly, your hand goes down, laying on your lap, slightly shaking.
โYour parents have been generous enough to become official sponsors of the games.โ Voices echo across the room, gossiping about the news. Even for you, this was a surprise.
Coriolanus looks at you but doesnโt say anything. He just wondered how much this would make your family richer.
โThe mentors have to make their tributes a spectacle. But your task is to make all of the 10th Hunger Games a massive spectacle. Propaganda, production and strategyโฆโ your face goes pale. But you dare to question it.
โIs this some type of punishment?โ Gaul laughs, offering a genuine smile later, her hands together, like she was comfortable on her spot.
โConsider this your admission test. You wonโt be fighting for the prize, but this would give you enough honors to automatically join the best branches of the Capitolโs University.โ Quietly, you nod under the curious look of your classmates. The look of Arachne full of envy, Clemensia confused, Sejanus doubting. And your dear Coriolanus, he was happy to be honest. You could easily make his tribute look presentable so he could win. He would get the prize, get into university, become a political figure if not president and finally give you anything he couldnโt before.
But for now, the ceremony is over. You say goodbye to your friends, and you walk with Coriolanus, he takes your hand and together leave the place.
โฆ
Your vision looks lost, but seemingly focused on the cracked floor. Coriolanus had been looking at you, he crossed his arms, but still nothing. Your heels were scattered, but you looked very comfortable at the edge of his bed.
โWhatโs on your mind, sweets?โ You feel the cushions sinking beside you, his palm goes to rub your back, taking you back to reality.
โI donโt want the weight of all those upcoming deaths on me. On making it an entertainmentโฆโ rarely you spoke about the games or politics with your boyfriend. Mostly it was about university, future plans, music, and random pieces of your lives.
โIt wonโt be your fault, y/n. This will prove to everyone in the Capitol how worthy you areโ he tries to soothe you.
โStill. While I do believe we deserve peace and to gain the respect the First Rebellion took from us, I do believe that putting some children to kill each other in the arena each year isnโt going to make a changeโ he sighed.
โThat little girlโฆโ he had seen the kid. But he grew indifferent to that, he was only focused on winning, and he was going to try to psyche you into the same.
โWhat terrifies you so much?โ He asks, finally making you look at him in the eye.
โI have a bad feeling, Coryo. Like everything is gonna go down badโ you admit. You couldnโt tell if it was the change, your new task or Lucy Gray Baird. You were avoiding being judgmental, but as soon as you saw what she did with that snake, your initial thought was that she was a problem.
โNone of that. You are making this Hunger Games unforgettable; Iโm winning the prize. And thatโs it, we will go to university together and make all those things weโve talked about. Thatโs all that matters, y/n. Right?โ Itโs inevitable, you know itโs some sort of manipulation.
He does it with good intentions, but you donโt like it.
โI will give my best to make this whole thing memorable. I will try to make your songbird win. But none of this will wash away the guilt.โ
Before the moment can get uncomfortable, Tigris enters the room. She smiles before standing against the little desk Coriolanus had.
โHow was it? Tell me everythingโ sheโs anxious to know everything, but for sure knows Coriolanus didnโt get the prize.
โWeโll give you the details in the table. But for now, Iโm mentoring the tribute from District 12. y/n is in charge of the game's propagandaโ her blonde brows furrow.
โThe girl who singed?โ Both of you nod. She sighs, crossing her arms.
โThis isnโt what was supposed to happenโฆโ Tigris adds. Again, you let yourself fall against the mattress, covering your face.
โMaking the gamesโ an spectacle. What were they thinking?โ Coriolanus exchanged looks with Tigris. She understood his look. Mentally telling him to give you some female soothing advice. She decided then to take seat too. You end up sandwiched between them.
Itโs her hand brushing some hairs away your neck and face. Tigris had always treated you like family. And thatโs why you felt more guilty. Because you wanted Coriolanus to win so badly, to help his family but you also thought about the tributes. About making their deaths some type of entertainment for everyone to watch.
โSounds unfair. A lot of things from the Capitol are wrong.โ You nod. When you see them, you are received by the cousins giving you soothing looks.
โI just want this to be overโฆโ
โItโll pass. Everything will go great. Youโre smart and very talented. And weโll help you in everything we canโ you have to give her a little hug.
โAnd Iโll help my boy too. That girl is going to be a problemโ Coriolanus rolls his eyes, thinking the same as you.
โSee? Letโs just be optimistic.โ Tigris stands up excitedly, later looking for something on her dress pocket.
โTigris. Iโm making dinner. Do not boil any more cabbageโ you giggle, and Coriolanus has to smile, admitting to himself that just by seeing you happy he felt better.
โNo. You donโt have to.โ
โPlease. Just let me go for some groceries.โ She nods shyly. Then she pulls out some little bag from the pocket.
โFine. But you are taking these from now onโฆโ she throws the bag and dissapears. When you look inside the bag, you take out a box of pills. Immediately your cheeks turn red.
โOh my godโ you hand the box to the boy.
โOhโฆโ theyโre birth control pills.
Soon both of you start laughing before you have to give him a kiss. Probably it was for the best because Coriolanus Snow never pulled out. And luckily you werenโt pregnant yet.
โIโll get the groceries from Trevorโ he nods, watching you walk away.
You briefly stop after seeing the picture on a frame. Of Coriolanus as a baby and his mother carrying him. Beside that picture, thereโs one you hadnโt seen before. Itโs you, from the gala of last year. You wore a red dress with pink ribbons and long gloves that matched the gown. You are smiling, not at the camera.
You were smiling at Coriolanus, who had insisted the photographer to take a picture of only you.
The feeling of happiness, bliss and peace hit you, making it impossible to leave your boyfriendโs room without a giant smile.
โฆ
Speaking out loud had never been your thing. You sucked for speeches, debates. Well, only to prepare for them. Your hands would shake, and your face would turn red. But at the moment to step into the highlight, you were wonderful.
And it was noticeable.
โHere I am with the lovely y/n y/l/n, whoโs in charge of directing the course of this games this year. Tell me y/n, was your idea to bring the tributes to the zoo?โ
โNo. To be honest, my directing journey officially starts as soon as the tributes are here. For now, Iโm not doing anythingโฆ Yet.โ Lucky Flickerman laughs.
โWellโฆ I believe this is going to be a heated road. Donโt you think so? OH-, forget about her opinion, no one cares. THE TRIBUTES ARE HERE!โ You turn behind to look. The vehicle opened its doors and the tributes fell. But you have to move away from the cameras after seeing a red uniform of the Academy. What the hell was Coriolanus doing there?
He doesnโt notice you yet. But you are able to see him talking with the girl. You see Lucy Gray Baird in person for the first time. Sheโs very pretty, short as you and her dress is very pretty. Thatโs not the problem though. You donโt like the way Coriolanus leans to whisper to her something, then he pulls the rose on his uniform and pins it behind her ear. Hearing Lucky Flickerman calling them, the couple holds hands, and they start answering questions.
Itโs just for the views. Itโs just to win that damn prize. Relaxโฆ You can trust him.
When Lucy Gray starts talking with a girl, Coriolanus spots you. You canโt decipher his look, but he knows for sure you arenโt pleased. Your hands making fists against the fabric on your wide dressing pants.
As soon as the cameras are gone, you go on a straight line towards him.
โWhat the hell are you doing here?โ He drops the songbirdโs hand, looking seriously taken aback.
โI told you I was meeting my tributeโ Lucy Gray looks intrigued by your sudden appearance. Your moles, orange makeup, heavy golden earrings and perfectly painted lips. Youโre perfect.
โThis is embarrassing. What are my parents going to think? This could get you into trouble, Coriolanusโ he sighs. Takes your hand through the giant cage but you whisk away, looking very angry.
โIโm sorry. This is justโฆ too much.โ He will talk to you later, he knows youโre head is spinning. Probably the rose and taking the songbirdโs hand wasnโt a good idea.
โThis is Lucy Grayโฆโ he introduces the girl. And you finally acknowledge her. You give her a fake smile, just trying to look calm and be polite. She only stares.
โNice to meet you. Iโm sorry this is the way were meetingโ she looks proud, like the fact that you look gorgeous, and she had just been thrown into an animal cage wasnโt humbling for her.
โArenโt you in charge of making this a good show? Like putting us here like we were some kind of animals?โ She must hate the Capitol. And it pisses you off the way sheโs talking to you. A hostile tone in disguise.
โIโm only working for this to get more views and get into Univeristy. Where etiquette and manners are taught with much emphasis. But Iโm not the one doing the rulesโ you respond colder, giving a little hint that Lucy Gray needed to be refined. After that, you proceed to ignore her again.
โI donโt know if Iโll be able to get your back with Highbottom if anything happensโ you whisper to the blonde, and before he can say anything you leave. You exchange some words with Flickerman and the camera production before leaving with them.
โIs that your girlfriend?โ Lucy Gray asks. Coriolanus turns to see her.
โThatโs my girlfriend.โ His confirmation slightly surprised the girl. You seemed veryโฆ Capitol. Like the perfect match for him.
โSheโs very pretty.โ He wants to chuckle, but he only nods. In his mind, he wasnโt sure if Lucy gray meant it or if she was just trying to be sarcastic. Either way he doesnโt care much.
Youโre perfect.
โฆ
In your room, only the gentle morning breeze can be heard. You look at the balcony, looking at the mountains that surrounded the Capitol. It was summer, soon after fall began, the white would cover the city.
Thereโs a knock on your door and when you turn to see who it is, there is your mother.
โHow did Coriolanus end up with the tributes?โ You look away, already feeling ashamed.
โI donโt know, mother. He was supposed to meet the tribute at the train station. I donโt know how he ended up thereโฆโ
โIt was aโฆ messy entrance. But he seemed to have charmed the cameras on his favor. Donโt you think so?โ Your mother liked your boyfriend, but sometimes she thought he had some secrets hidden, and that made you set some alarms. Probably because only, you knew about his financial problems.
โAs it was expected. How do you think I felt when everyone knew he is my boyfriend? It was embarrassing.โ She giggles, stepping inside of your room. Grabbing your perfectly ironed Academy uniform and accommodating the sleeves.
โI didnโt like the way heโฆ forced that interaction with the girl.โ You admit in a quiet tone.
โThey were holding hands. He tucked his rose on her ear.โ Your blood boils at the memory, making you groan in discontent.
โYes.โ You confirm to her.
โYouโre jealous. And you shouldnโt beโฆ Coriolanus loves you. Why would he even turn to look down at a dirty and disheveled girl from District 12? When he has you, a gorgeous and already successful young woman. Whoโs capitol to his luck.โ You smile. But the uncomfortable omen would have you spinning until the games were over.
โYou canโt let any feelings get in the way of your task, my dear.โ Says your father appearing at the door. You just stare at him.
โLet the boy play along the untidy girl for now. It will help to raise the views and create dubiety. You will complete your duty and that will make you memorable. As a daughter of mine and your mother we want you to exceed our accomplishments, this would be the first step. As soon as you make it, all the doors will be open for you. And the boy will be eating from the palm of your hand.โ You know thatโs not how it works, but he is right. As much as you wanted your boyfriend to win the games. You had to think on your own for the first time.
โYouโre right.โ Your dad smiles, only entering the room to leave a kiss on your head. Silently telling you how proud he is of you.
โGood. Now put some makeup and the uniform.โ You nod at your mom, replying at her smile but feeling slightly empty on the inside.
โฆ
Once again you have zoned out.
Coriolanus sees the way you are lost in your thoughts. As Dean Highbottom and Dr. Gaul are slightly debating after he was almost penalized for the zoo events, the gossip between the students doesnโt flush away easily.
You were quiet since that day. Same kisses, same smile, and same giggles. But the sudden lack of communication and sex was worrying Coriolanus.
Then Arachne died. Clemensia hadnโt been on class for some days. You werenโt around to see, but the news made you feel weird. Coriolanus was getting obsessed with the songbird, but that didnโt mean he was leaving asideโฆ yet.
He had heard and seen how most of the student's made fun of you and your task for the Hunger Games. Saying that you had been put on that position for your parents. Very much like what everyone thought of Sejanus Plinth on daily basis. It made you feel anxious, that guilt only increasing. And unfortunately, Coriolanus hadnโt been around to soothe those fears.
โAre you sure youโre okay, y/n?โ He asks once for all. You seem to hear him, but before you can answer him. Gaul had made everyone go quiet.
โHas a decision been made, Miss. y/l/n?โ You raise your head, looking at the woman and slowly you nod, standing up.
โA decision has been made with the council of the games and the production team. The mentors and their tributes have to make a strategy, itโs obligatory. The mentors have to make detailed research on the district of their tribute. In two days, the research must be submitted so the tributes can be guaranteed an interview before the games. Only that way, the sponsors will come and by the end of the games, the mentors will be honored in the post-games' celebration.โ The more you talked, the more the students seemed to hate you. Coriolanus can only think that youโre doing it because of rage, and he isnโt unsure if he likes it or not.
Dr. Gaul wants to laugh, believing you had shut everyoneโs mouth. She can see a female enraged lover can react when cards are played against her. And she is savoring the way her Hunger Games are making everyone fight for their own good, not only the tributes.
When class is over, you donโt wait for Coriolanus. You just start grabbing your stuff and decide to leave.
He has to hurry so he can follow your pace. He calls your name once, but until his hand gently grabs your forearm, you stop.
โWhat is going on?โ He asks, ignoring that both of you are in the middle of a hallway.
โAbout what?โ Thereโs a lot to say, but you just canโt seem to be able to respond.
He sighs, and looking around, he drags you to an empty room. Open to public, but perfect for some minutes of privacy.
โYou can talk to meโฆโ
โI knowโฆ Itโs justโฆโ he inspects your face, looking at any details to try to understand you.
โJust what, sweets?โ
โThereโs too much going on at the same time. Iโm just stressed out. Iโm sorry for being distant, Coryoโ you refuse to admit youโre jealous, that you are following your fatherโs advice, that you are sick of everything.
โItโll be over in three more days or so. Then you know what departs for usโฆโ you nod as he leans to close the distance, your foreheads touching. It was Coriolanus silent way of saying I love you and Iโm here. So you take the moment to treasure it.
โJust one thing, Coryoโฆโ
โYes, dear?โ He asks on your lips.
โIf things get trickyโฆ Are you going to fight for me if needed?โ He smiles, your lips trembling against his chin.
โI would walk the whole territory of Panem just to get you, y/nโ and with that, he kisses you so hard that it makes you remember why you choose him.
And why you would always choose him.
โฆ
Itโs late in the night and you opted to stay for late rehearsals. Your nails are a mess as you had anxiously been biting them. You see a burgundy spot on the right side of your pointe shoe. Your feet are bleeding. But that doesnโt compare to the waves of chills you had every day.
โAGAIN!โ Your instructor yells. You are the opening act for the celebration. Every district would have a dance and some mentors would have an honorific mention. However, yours was a delicate piece of ballet. The music was beautiful, but it made you feel little, very vulnerable.
You try every single time, but your instructor kept saying that you needed to look sadder by the end.
โMiss y/n?โฆโ your motherโs assistant came to the door of the studio, making you stop and your instructor to pause the music.
โYour mother has informed to me that there was a rebel bombing on the gamesโ arena earlier. The tributes were there with their mentors.โ Your heart stops, remembering Coriolanus and his own task of taking the songbird there.
โYour partner, Mr. Snowโฆ he was injuredโฆโ
Half an hour later, youโre entering the hospital. The wide room is empty. At the end of the bedโs row, you see Tigris and Sejanus. The young woman being the first to notice you.
โY/N!โ She hurries to hug you and offer her jacket since it was slightly cold. And you were once again in your ballet attire, pointe shoes still on.
โItโs okay. Butโฆ How is him?โ
โStable. Just his back was compromisedโ Sejanus reveals, making you smile sadly. Coriolanus is sleeping. His forehead looks sweaty, and you can only attempt to brush some of his curls.
โThey said it was a rebel attack. The presidentโs son was heavily injuredโ you sigh.
โFelix?โ Sejanus nods at you.
โThis is where I side with the Capitol.โ
โExactly. This isnโt the solutionโ neither of you say out loud. But Sejanus was a rebel sympathizer, Tigris was only against the capitol but not with the rebels. And you were a neutral.
โI just hope this doesnโt come with long term injuriesโฆโ you finally add. Under the curious look of Tigris, she feels bad for you. Although she offered her help, there wasnโt much she could do. Only to design the attires for the upcoming celebration. But other than that, she could feel the stress on you.
Only worsening when Coriolanus woke up.
โIs Lucy Gray fine?โ You act like it didnโt hurt you. And both Tigris and Sejanus pretend they didnโt see your sad face.
โSheโs fine.โ
โHow do you feel?โ You ask, and Coriolanus finally sees you.
โMy shoulder and back hurtโ the tv ends up disconcerting everyone. When you turn there is a video of you being played with the logo of the Capitol behind you. Coriolanus wants to smile, but heโs too unsure of whatโs happening to say you looked adorable in a tulle skirt.
[Citizens of Panem, welcome back. We are less than 24 hours away from the start of the 10th Hunger Games. To make the wait less painful, we are about to explore a little more on this year tributes. Get to know them in this section. For the first time, we are about to see an exclusive series of interviews with our lovely host; Lucky Flickerman. Now itโs turn of District 12. Do not forget that anyone can be a sponsor. Enjoy the show!]
You ignore the looks. You werenโt proud of yourself for filming that type of promos. But that is quickly forgotten after Lucy Gray was introduced and she started singing again. You have to roll your eyes. You have to bite your tongue after seeing the way Coriolanus literally jumped out of the bed to see the songbird closely.
He seemed hypnotized by her. And without even processing there are tears forming on your eyes.
The end is coming. The end is coming. Get readyโฆ
You try to ignore your head. But itโs like a prolonged free fall. Since the moment of the Reaping Ceremony, you knew it.
That bad omen was something you shouldโve payed more attention to.
Now you let some tears fall as you see it. Tigris is also crying, and you have to admit how wonderful Lucy Gray Baird is. But it leads you to question.
How could Coriolanus just beโฆ losing you?
When you look down at your feet, your brain can pay attention to the damage, immediately releasing a lot of pain.
Your pointe shoes are almost soaked in blood. You quickly seat in one of the bed, hurrying to untie it. Your heart beats faster. With the sudden increase of negativity, you feel panicked.
And it scares you, because you feel like you donโt have enough control.
Sejanus is the first one to look away.
โOh my god, y/nโ he knees in front of you. Looking at the mess. Now that the pointe shoes are gone, the damage is more than visible.
Tigris follows and finally Coriolanus remembers you. He seats beside you, frowning in disgust as he sees the pointe shoes covered in dry blood. Then your feet, you try to stop the bleeding, cleaning it, sobbing in silent.
You feel his hand on your shoulder. But you ignore him. You feel hurt by everyone. Your parents, the Capitol, and Coriolanus especially.
You squirm away from him.
โIโm just trying to soothe you.โ Coriolanus admits in shock after seeing your reaction.
โI can handle it on my ownโ you spit out crying quietly, cleaning the tears with a hand, while the other holds some gazes against the wounded skin.
โWeโll bring a nurseโ Tigris says, grabbing Sejanus and walking out of the room.
For the first time, Coriolanus knows something is going wrong. He officially sees how things are getting tricky.
Only you would know that your tears were for your boyfriend rather than the blood soaking your feet.
He was losing you. And later that night, he sealed the faith of your love for him after visiting Lucy Gray in the zoo one last time.
โฆ
When the 10th Hunger Games started, you were making sudden apparitions at the camera. Coriolanus was focused on Lucy Gray moving through the arena. And you were too invested on following all the procedures. After some hours, a lot of people had left. Coriolanus was growing tired. He started eyeing you out, he saw your lilac makeup that matched your sweater. He saw the way your hips and waist looked in a pencil skirt.
After some failed attempts to make you look at him, he made eye contact. And minutes later, both of you ended up having a quick fuck in the restroom. Somehow it had worked as a makeup, he made you smile before you had to leave again. He kissed you and he promised to himself that no more mistakes were allowed. He would win the games with Lucy Gray and thenโฆ only eyes for you.
Things took a turn after Sejanus meant to give a proper goodbye to his tribute and old friend.
Coriolanus had killed a tribute. You are still unable to comprehend how you feel about it. He had come to your house during the night, red eyes and disheveled uniform. You wrapped your arms around him, shushing him to not disturb your parents.
He told you everything as you prepared the tub for him. He cried on your shoulder and stayed there for hours.
โYou are good, Coriolanus. You are a good man. This doesnโt make you a monsterโฆโ you had said.
โWhat about the power I felt?โฆโ you knew that was a warning sign.
โIn the Hunger Gamesโ arena anything feels like power, my loveโ it was supposed to be enough to make him avoid thinking on power and death at the same time.
And now, adding the fact that he seemed to have built a connection with the songbird, you were everything but calm.
Nonetheless, that night you hold him protectively. You assure him everything would be fine.
โI would be lost without youโ Coriolanus says, his nose pressed against your chest.
โI help the people I love, Coryo. Thatโs how will always beโฆโ he reminds himself, no more errors. He holds tighter at you, knowing he had already messed up his promise one night ago.
โฆ
You run, ignoring the pain of your wounded feet. The nurse said to take it easy if you wanted to dance after the games.
But you canโt help it. Coriolanus had won. While you ignored Lucy Gray Baird as the victor, you acknowledged your boyfriend as it. You run faster than Tigris, so you get to hug him before kissing him. He replies immediately. Holding your waist and smiling like an idiot. Everyone was looking and cheering around but neither of you cared. He deepened the kiss, feeling peace, he knew he had won. He had a good future secured. Along you.
โYou did it, my loveโ you say in his lips, giggling. He also smiles, taking your hand before going to find Tigris who stayed back.
โYou also did it.โ He speaks. Making you realize itโs over.
And for the rest of the day, you are happy. You leave early because of the celebration.
You really didnโt want to stay away from Coriolanus. But he was also called away. Tigris stays with you the whole day. She calls Grandmaโam as soon as you both enter the theater where the celebration was being held.
Both of you give the elder woman all details. She really cries and says she canโt wait to see his boy coming home that night. She wishes you good luck and the call is over.
โOkay. Letโs get over with this so we can celebrate with some posca tonight.โ You laugh, taking a seat on the vanity.
โCoryo hates posca, Tigris.โ She also laughs.
โIf he can pretend to like it for formal events, he can pretend at home for his win and yours.โ Between laughs and jokes, she starts to help you with makeup and hair.
An hour later, you start receiving good luck flowers and notice of being on the stage in fifteen minutes.
โYou look perfect, y/nโ she says smiling, making you turn around to see the pastel tutu and flower corset of the attire.
โI canโt breathe but this will make my shoulders look so alignedโฆโ you thank her and after good luck wishes and a hug, she excuses herself to go to her seat.
Now alone, you make sure the makeup is perfect. Until you see Coriolanus in the door frame. He enters and closes the door. He looks so lost and sad, which worries you.
โI cheated on the gamesโ you frown, hurrying to get to him. He sits on the couch, head between his legs, notifying to you how serious the issue is.
โWhat did you do?โ He explains how he cheated. He kept it secret. He didnโt tell you.
โIs there a punishment or penalty?โ He nods, looking at you now.
โExile. Serve as a peacekeeper for twenty yearsโ you look shocked. Your heart stops and you lean to grab his shoulders.
โIโll go with you. University can wait. Iโll find a job where youโre sent to. And work with my mother at the same time. Weโll send money to Tigris and Grandmaโam and-โ
โNo, y/n. I canโt let you do this.โ You start to feel panicked again. You need to hear a solution.
โSo what? Youโre just leaving like that?โ He remains quiet.
โYou said you would fight for me.โ He thinks about possibilities. He could marry you as soon as training was over. You two could find a little house, live there and send money to his family like you said. You already said you were willing to leave the Capitol for him.
โOh, Coryo. Why did you had to do this?โ He sighs frustrated.
โTo win. For my family. For youโฆ to give you all I promised.โ You are at the verge of crying. And he has to be honest. If you were going to leave everything for him. He would be honest.
โI kissed her.โ
You can only hear your heartbeat after that.
You donโt say anything for some seconds. His hands are sweating.
Something stronger than silence fills the room. You slap him.
Your hand burns afterwards. But the damage is done.
โGet. Out.โ You spit out, quietly, yet extremely filled with poison.
Heโs too shocked to say something back.
You are mentally collapsing. Finally feeling betrayed and mocked by him.
โYou wonโt get out? I willโฆโ itโs bad when you start hearing a pitch in your ears. You know itโs not a good sign. But youโre so traumatized, that you lean closer to him.
โYouโre a mistakeโฆ Such a big lie.โ The last memory he sees before you have disappeared is the layers of tulle of your tutu, your perfume of jasmine and the sound of your distant sobs.
If he had lost you. His last memory of you would be dancing.
He stares from the backstage. And he wonders if destiny wanted you to dance such a melancholic song. Because he can literally see your sadness. You look so fragile that he curses himself. Maybe if he had mentored another district. Or maybe if he just had decided to shut up and avoid mentioning the kiss to you.
Did he ever love you? Why wasnโt enough?
However, thatโs not enough suffering. While your head was spinning with many thoughts, the rest of your body was pleading you to stop. But you keep dancing. You feel the music and you let yourself to give the most emotional presentation of the history of Panem.
You donโt realize you have captured the same effect as Lucy Gray Baird singing. There are people crying. Throwing flowers at you. You donโt see it; youโre starting to see everything blurred.
As you leave the stage, people congratulate you. Coriolanus sees you look pale, darkened lips. You stop hearing, only the annoying pitch. Every step feels heavier than the last one. The sudden nausea makes you give up.
Coriolanus sees how you faint. Your body collapsing to the floor.
โGet a doctorโฆ GET A DOCTOR, PLEASE!โ He yells at a girl who was also in a tutu. She nods in shock, running. Some people gather, but only Coriolanus is there holding your unconscious body.
โฆ
โIโm so sorry. This isnโt what I wanted. I wished so many things for us.โ Coriolanus is crying. Holding your hand as you are asleep on a hospital bed. Your diagnosis said you suffered a collapse due to stress and traumatic experience. He knew it was caused by him. But he lies to your mother, saying it mustโve been for the pressure of the games and the death of Arachne Crane.
โIโm not a good man. And you deserve someone better than meโฆโ he can now see the purple under your lashes, eye bags and cracked lips.
โBut Iโm coming back for you.โ
After memorizing your image sleeping and kissing your forehead, he quietly leaves.
Your mother enters his line of vision.
โCoriolanus. Are you coming tomorrow? Sheโll likely be awakeโ he swallows the rest of his tears and shakes his head.
โUnfortunately. I have peacekeeper duty away from the Capitol, required for me to get into university.โ
โOh no. Y/n knows, right?โ He nods.
โBut donโt worry, Iโll send her letters every weekโ itโs a promise. One he would make no matter what.
His hopes increase by the time heโs able to serve in District 12. Knowing he could give some closure to his situation with Lucy Gray but sickening because heโs also going there to soothe his urges to see his songbird again.
As for you. You just hope and pray your sole image to haunt Coriolanus Snow for the rest of his life. Because the moment you walked out of that hospital, you would do everything to get rid of him and his memory. Promising to make his mere existence the most insignificant matter. Even when you knew your heart would never beat again the same way it did for him.

PAIRING: President!Coriolanus x nymphet!reader
WORD COUNTER: 3.1k
You were innocent so sweet, pure like a dove, and sweet as honey. You smelt like tulips and cinnamon. You had bright shiny f/c hair and sparkly e/c eyes. An infectious smile was always on your lips when you smiled at or saw him. You were a real-life painting of beauty, you were young, free, and impressionable. But you had a disgusting attitude, that was the main thing, feisty..he would've mistaken you for a district girl if it wasn't for your rich lifestyle and luxurious clothes you wear.
You were a cliche, stereotypical rich girl. You were rotten, spoiled if he dared to say. He would describe you as a bimbo or a stunner but surprisingโฆ you were smart and capable..popular with your peers. Though you had a horrible smoking habit, it wasn't any day you didn't have a cigarette between your plump lips, sniggering with your 'Friends'.
Maybe that's why he picked you, with all the pros and cons of having you in a matrimonious agreement. You were a candidate to be his wife and carry his children, of course, if you weren't going to put up a fight, but Coriolanus was sure that even if were to fight, he was going impregnate you with his seed.
The first time you heard of getting married to him by your mother, your father of course was away in some sort of business meeting. You were in disbelief, a distraught expression on your faceโฆ"Y/N..sweetie..you are getting married to him, this opportunity would help the family gratefully" Your mother pleaded with you, you leaned on one of the sofa chairs as you lit up a cigarette between your lips. Your mother hated the habit, that you picked up by your father, she thought it was unladylike and improper.
"No, I'm not" You quickly dismissed her, rolling your eyes as she repeated herself several times, "Y/n, it's not an offer..your going to marry him" She repeated herself again but with sternness, "No, I'm not" you glared, taking another hit of the cigarette, blowing it purposely in her face. Her face getting redder by the second at your rude gestures. Here you were sitting down, and having a tantrum in Dr. Gaul's office. She didn't say anything yet, just watching as you and your mother fought with each other.
"Y/N, I'm not sure why you're being such a brat, there is an opportunity right in front of you and you're not taking it..this can help us..your family..A LOT!" She argues you roll your eyes at her, looking another way. Before Dr. Gaul spoke up, your attention was on herโฆ"Y/N..this opportunity comes once in a lifetime, becoming the First Lady of Panem is a powerful title" Dr. Gaul says, her hands tapping onto her wooden desk, you pursed your lipsโฆ"Besides, your schedule has been cleared for the whole day, and he will be here soon, make sure not to offend or disrespect himโฆit would be a good look at all" She finishes, and you roll your eyes at her.
You hated that you weren't controlling your life at this point, being forced to marry a man you never knew or cared for, until now. You just sat there smoking your frustrations away as you waited. Staring at the Big Ben clock as the hand moved. You waited, tapping the cigarette ashes onto the ashtray, your mother saying something to you that you ignored as she pressed the issue to you even further.
Exhaling the smoke from your lungs, your ears heard the click of the door, hearing footsteps coming into the office. "President Snow!" you listened to your mother's voice as she purposely made it higher than her already annoying pitch. You watched as Coriolanus and your mother shook hands. She had a sickeningly sweet smile on her face when she looked at him.
"Nice to see you again, Audrey" Coriolanus greeted her. You watched angrily, taking out the almost-finished cigarette from your mouth. Your eyes shifted to Dr. Gaul as Coriolanus also greeted her before he glanced towards your way. You ignore the stares of his blue irises. You felt your cheeks flush, tapping the end of the cigarette near the ashtray. "-And this is Y/N, right?" you felt his eyes on you, in return you gave him a nasty look, already pissed off with his presence and the future event that was being planned in front of you.
Your mother noticed as she carefully stepped towards you, flicking you harshly on the shoulder, and making you grimace.
You gave up resisting with your mother's eyes digging into you, "Yes, President Snow..." You swallowed your pride, enunciating every word in your sentence, making him amused by your actions. You didn't look at him, as you said it..looking down at the ashtray with the burnt ashes of the remains of the cigarette inside of it.
The rest of the meeting was your mother, and Coriolanus, talking about the marriage arrangement in front of you, you were livid by the action..and Dr. Gaul joined into the conversation, saying something, you blurred out and the whole conversation in general. You tapped your foot out in frustration, crushing the cigarette in the tray. You knew your parents just wanted to get rid of you, you would admit that you did do something that wasn't expected of you with your parents but to your defense, they never reprimanded you for any of it.
In this moment, you felt desperate, hopeless, and vulnerable...you were still a kid, a child.
But there wasn't any avail as the months would flip by and your 18th birthday would come, to be married off to the President of Panem and your induction following in as the First Lady, and soon child carrying without even enjoying your youth, becoming a mother, while your peers are relishing their freedom. It sounded like torture to you, made you angry and sad. You felt tears blurring your vision as you got up from your seat, the action being noticed by your mother and others in the room.
Marching out of the office, no.. running out of the office. The sound of your mother yelling for you. You ran out of the building, with your bag in your hand, reaching inside for another cigarette but there were any inside the box, "Fuck" you screamed out in frustration, throwing the box back into your bag, and resorting to a flask. Taking a sip of the alcoholic liquid, it was warm outside, the sun on your skin. It was relaxing, cooling your mood down. Sliding down to the floor, your knee pressed to your chest.
You don't know how much time passed but you wanted it to stop..sniffling to yourself. Your ears picked up on the sound moving near you as you looked to the side, your heart dropped at the sight of Coriolanus Snow in front of you, the man that would take you away from your childhood, your home, and your youth. But you give props to your parents, marrying you to a man who was handsome not as old which was something you were happy about. Just a six-year age gap between you both.
"Looking for this?" You watched as he reached into his pocket, throwing a pack of cigarettes, he almost laughed looking at your face lighting up, holding the box with your fingers. "Thank you," you said, looking up at him...you opened the box putting the cigarette in your lips, covering the end of the cigarette with the lighter lighting up the end. Blowing the smoke, as you held the cigarette between your fingers, sniffling. "Can I sit here with you?" He asked, you looked at him as you nodded. The man sat with you, you bit your bottom lip, as you took another hit of the cigarette. The nicotine cools down your nerves..."So, how is the school doing?" He asked you rolled your eyes at his question, he sounded like your dad..and you cringed at the thought, blowing the smoke, "Good" you responded, putting your head in your hands.
"It's not going to be all that bad, Y/N" He started speaking again, which made you groan, he shifted closer to you, putting his hand on your back. You wanted to revolt, moving away but you really need someone to comfort you, leaning into his touch. As you put your head in his chest, laying down as he rubbed your shoulder. You even know tears were rolling down your cheek, sniffling in your seat, he kissed you on the head, soothing your pain.
It was ironic, that the man you wanted to run away from, was comforting you.
God, you wanted to scream but you sat there, sniffling as you inhaled the nicotine through the cigarette and exhaled through your nose, tapping it onto the ground. His words were comfortable, whether empty or not, you took them as it was.
Coriolanus didn't mind that you laid your head on his chest, he quite appreciated it, your calmness made something inside of him unlock..your vulnerability stroked his ego, especially with your feisty nature.
Days passed, and you found yourself getting comfortable with Coriolanus. He would take you out on little dates, and buy your gifts and jewelry... that he would always put around your neck, the cold steel hitting your chest, the memory made you smile, with joy when you opened the luxurious satin case. The thought of marrying and sacrificing everything you had did get on the edge, and you still were uncomfortable at all with it, but you saw him as a friend more as a lover.
Your parents, mostly your mother encouraged you to speak and talk to him, even sending letters. You always catch yourself writing them for god knows why, but you felt comfort about doing it, and having him read it.
You found yourself visiting him in his residence, as you joined him for his afternoon tea. Something that you didn't do often with your own parents but liked when it was with Coriolanus. He would surprise you with delicious cakes, macarons, and cookies...with him looking at you cutely stuffing your cake with the sweet desserts, your eyes sparkling in joy, it made him chuckle at your cute antics.
But soon..your birthday came around. Your stomach was full of butterflies, you dreaded it. You were finally 18, you had your cake, your claps, and Coriolanus slipped the ring on your finger. The bells of marriage chimed. Looking at yourself in the mirror, a poofy, lacy wedding dress, your hair styled, and makeup done. You looked like a doll, a baby doll you used to play with when you were young.
The dress was pretty, white, lacy imprinted with snowflakes, big and poofy, you had a sweetheart neckline and a diamond necklace on your neck, matching earrings as well. A veil topped your doll-like appearance, as several maids helped you with your dress. The whole population of Panem waiting, watching the wedding ceremony, you felt sick, nauseous and it was evident on your face...the headmistress noticed it, she was an older woman, much older than you..placing her hand on your shoulder, catching your attention, "It will be over soon, just smile for the camera..okay?" She murmured, fixing your veil, nodded at her words, and that was all that you could do now.
Walking down the aisle is lock and key for you...fisting up your hands, narrowing your eyes, some of the maids said something, and next thing you knew, you were walking down the aisle with your father. People that you knew looking at you, some were your peers and others were important, influential people of the Panem, your eyes explored everywhere and then to Coriolanus, who stood there..waiting for you.
"Chin up, and smile Y/N" your father whispered to you,
You breathed out, fixing up your posture..everything felt slow, soon your father handed you off, and you stepped into your destine spot, looking at Coriolanus. You never notice how tall he was, though older, he was much taller, a few inches you assumed.
The priest said something, it was a blur. "I do" the word coming out of Coriolanus snapping you out, looking at the Priest, then at him. "-And you Y/N, do you take Coriolanus Snow as your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward and the next..***#$&@*@*@@*$**..-sickness and health...to love and cherish until death do you part?" Your eyes widen at the weird noises coming from the priest's mouth, you hesitate, looking around you..your chest heaving. Your parents looked at you sternly, "I-..i do" You stuttered, "-And with that, you may kiss the bride" The Priest announced.
Coriolanus brought your body close, as his lips connected with yours..your ears ringing out with the sounds of claps and applause. Tears rolling down your cheek,
Your ears rang out, through the rest of the ceremony, the after-party and the kiss...the sound of the door clicking, looking down at your body in a nightgown, in your new residents shared with Coriolanus..where you would live, where your children live and spend your days in. Coriolanus's feet dragged towards you, and your heart pounced against your chest, looking at his half-naked form..." Is this when we" you paused gesturing the rest of your sentence with your hand, your eyes deliberately not looking at him.
You felt sad, disgusting, and vulnerable.
He saw it all over your face, it was obvious.
He preferred it,
You had a twinge of anger through your body, as you observed the smug smirk on his face, you didn't want to end it without a fight. His hand caressing your cheek, you soften at the sight of him, knowing his status and power, it would be a useless sight of retaliation.
He laid you down on your back, his hands dancing on your skin, creeping up under your nightgown, touching you...your eyes couldn't bear but stare. He slowly stripped you off of your nightgown, you were already naked underneath it. Your body is displayed for him, his finger touching and groping your body..you inhale through your nose looking at the ceiling.
His fingers getting dangerously close to your pearl..you instantly held his arm, "Please, be gentle" you whispered, making eye contact with him, as he nodded, releasing his arm. His fingers slipped into your folds, exploring inside you, making you squirm underneath him...sinful moans slipped from your lips at his actions. You looked innocent, lewd, and vulnerable underneath him, it made him get hard and aroused...his fingers scissoring you, his right hand on your chest, rubbing the nubs gently making you whimper. His weight lying on top of you, his fingers spreading your folds, and his fingers digging deep inside you, arching your back at the sensation. His lips leaving kisses from your neck to your collarbone.
Delicate moans left your lips, your hands gripping the sheets. Your skin prickling, your walls squeezing his finger...his groans echoing through your ears. You felt breathless, your breathing getting heavier.
"Corio..i'm close" you sniffled, holding his arm lightly, as his finger made his way into you, every thrust made you closer to coming undone. A throbbing sensation in your abdomen, driving you crazy, the lewd noises of your cunt reverberating around the room.
"Good" He whispered against your skin, the pace of his finger digging into you, your hand instantly gripping his shoulder, your nails digging in deep, making him groan. You felt a coil snapping within you, waves of pleasure, arching your back...your eyes rolling to the back of your head, moans ripping out of your throat. "Corio.." you looked at him through your lashes, your eyes heavy as you stared at him. His fingers withdrawing from your dripping pussy, your cum coating his fingers. Feeling your cheeks reddened..."Open your mouth" He said, you obeyed, laying his coated fingers on your tongue, your tongue swirling around his digits. You felt embarrassed in yourself, his eyes looking down at you, opening your mouth as he took his finger.
He opened your legs, smearing his salvia-coated finger on your thighs...your eyes followed as you held the position, taking off his pants along with his boxers. Your eyes widen in surprise at his size, "C-corio, it's not going to fit" you stuttered, looking away from him.
As he lines up against your slit, you pursed your lips as he slid his cock inside of you, biting your lip at the pain. He hooked your legs on his shoulder, thrusting into you, his hands groping your chest...tears blooming on your waterline at the discomfort, the simmering pain as he forced himself further into you. His groans tainting your ears,
Your breast bounces at every thrust, your vision heavy with lust, fluttering your lashes with tears in your waterline. He bares his teeth, leaving bites on your collarbone, you moan at the touch.
His cock bullying its way to your cervix, as he plunges his cock into you, your hands gripping under the bedsheets...his pace getting faster, and your skin getting a familiar hot feeling tingling inside of you. His pelvis collided with yours, pushing your head back as you moaned, his cock stretching you out. Your chest heaving, your skin beading with sweating, the bed sheet sticking onto your skin..." Corio...I'm so close" you began slurring your words in bliss.
His pace gets faster and sloppier, leaning into you, and giving you a hot, sloppy kiss. His tongue explores your mouth, moaning against his tongue.
Feeling yourself coming undone, as you moaned in pleasure...his thrust getting slower, his groans ringing into your ear before you felt himself spilling his load into you. The hot sensation made you wince,
Your heavy breathing echoed in his ear, as his weight on your body, his cock still burrowed inside of you.
Your eyes flickered down at the sheet between your thighs that was stained in your virgin blood.
A couple of days passed from the intimate engagement you had with Coriolanus. In those days, you were moved into Coriolanus's residence. Beginning the induction of the new title you were going to be given. In those days you began to experience sickness, holding your stomach..your actions were detected by the headmistress.
Your heels stepping on the tile, you felt your stomach hurting even further, feeling nauseous. You fell to your knees, heaving the contents on your stomach, vomiting on the delicate tile floor...hearing the steps of the headmistress, your eyes looking up at the women.
Her face was nonchalant at the scene, "Your pregnant, my lady" she declared..you felt your heart dropping, but you couldn't say anything as threw up on the floor. The sounds of vomit echo through the manor, sitting there, the disgusting smell filling up your senses.
Before the headmistress yelled for another maid to clean up the mess. Another two took you up gently from the floor, you wanted to cry at the new information given to you..you were baring a child in your body that you didn't wish for. But for now, you were being dragged on your feet to your chambers, waiting for the knowledge to be sent to President Snow.

word counter: 1.8k
You were perfect, the embodiment of a perfect daughter, student, and personality. You carried yourself with grace, and made yourself known as an individual with class and intelligence.
You have an outstanding academic standing, high grades, good social points, and were popular with your peers. A person with all that must have someone to be rival with or a person trying to one-up them. In this case, it was true for you, the last name Snow, made you snarl. The name Coriolanus Snow, made you grimace even. He was always one step ahead of you, if you were two, he would be one. It made you resent him in every single way.
Today was reaping day...the anniversary of making the district pay for their uprising against capital control and authority. You were wearing a black dress with a scoop necklace and small cut diamonds sowed on your dress, making it look like the night sky, it fell to your knees. Pearls waiting on your neck with matching earrings and a dashing pair of bloody red lips to match the blood that was ready to be spilled in the arena.
The building was busy with students, excited for the games to begin. It was supposedly going to be last, but you knew it was a lie. Why would the capitol stop the games, weren't their enemies not rebelling against them enough? Vigilantly waiting for it to start, holding onto a delicate glass cup with some liquid poured into, it as you sipped from the glass. You were conversing with a few of your peers, not friends. You weren't considered them anywhere near you, there were just walking money bags that socially and economically fueled you.
"Y/N, how would you prophesize this year's hunger game will turn out ?" Festus said, you looked at him. "Well...I, presume that it going to end as fast as it started" You declared, smirking against the glass before you sipped the liquid inside your cup, "I don't expect any of thoses things to survive fast" Felix agreed with your thought, "The same" Arachne added.
You loved basking in the attention of others, made you feel like you had some power, and if people liked you. They would agree, give, gift, allow, and offer anything to you. It was shortly outlived, "Finally, the star pupil," Arachne said, their attention turning to Coriolanus, and yours flickered to him as well.
You bit your lip at the scene, glaring at her before you looked at him. "That's a snazzy shirt, what are those buttons.. tesserae?" Arachne marvels at his shirt, picking out several details, you put your hands covering your mouth to hide your smile.
"Hm..that's why they remind me of the maid's bathroom," Coriolanus remarked, looking at the button, turning his attention towards the group, "Not surprising with the people you associated yourself with, Coriolanus" You commented, taking a sip from your drink, faintly tilting your head to the side, denoting Sejanus's presence from afar.
"How malicious of you, y/n. That was the most humane thing you ever displayed to me" He said, his eyes and yours making contact with each other, making the room oddly tense up. "I'm tender-hearted but not a charity" You affirmed, the grip of your glass getting harder as you spoke to him.
Were you jealous, no, never. Why would you ever be jealous of him? Maybe it was his high intelligence, the way he carried himself, his charm on everyone he talked to? or everything that was neatly wrapped in a silky satin red bow, that was an embodiment of himself. It was funny to you, that you had this 'discreet' loathe for someone, and that person was in less than 6 feet of you, proximity 2 people away.
"Well, I heard this year there is something called the 'Plinth' prize" You turned your attention to Felix talking, "Something about Doctor Gauls' being in the building, Plinth.." Felix turned his head, "I mean just look at his spawn" I turned my attention to Sejanus from afar. "Who knew you could buy your way into the capitol?" Felix finished, "Well, money does control everything" you muttered, cocking your eyebrows.
"Well, you can't buy class, I mean...have you looked at his mother's outfit, Oh sorry, his ma's..." Festus mocked before the group snickering, "Dress a turnip in a ball gown, and it will still be begged to be mashed" Coriolanus joked, flickering his eyes away from Sejanus.
"Don't do that we all know you like him" Arachne commented, " I don't like him, Arachne. I tolerate him. He's District" Coriolanus finished, cutting her off completely, made you amused. "That's a low blow" You mockingly did a sad face at him, "The low blow is being district" Coriolanus muttered, you smirked at his actions.
"Tolerate him, just don't encourage. I heard these games how immoral these hunger games have been, putting him in the arena mustโ" Festus spoke he cut himself short as Sejanus walked toward the group. The whole thing was funny, snarky remarks being thrown, and your lips were graced with a smile every time.
Your ears heard the ringing of the bell signaling the start of the reaping. You got into your seat, sitting right next to Arachne.
It went delighting, well for you. You got a capable-looking tribute, she looked promising to you, and her name was Hera. Interesting to give a poor girl, a high-class name. You were in the bathroom, powering your nose, fixing up yourself. Puffing the power puff on your face, leaving your face having a matte finish. Applying your signature color on your lips.
Your ears heard the door opening, but your eyes didn't bother to look at the person who came as you were too busy with yourself.
Feeling a pair of hands on your waist, your eyes flickering to the mirror, looking at the one who was responsible, only to met with the eyes that you so daintily hate. You quickly turn yourself around, "What are you doing here?" You exclaimed, turning your attention to the blonde that came in, Coriolanus. "Do you know what bathroom you're in Coriolanus?" You crossed your arms, glaring at him.
"It didn't bother you then, why now" He walked closer to your awaiting form, "Then, I didn't resent you," You stated, feeling his hands on your bottom, lightly spinning you in a halfway motion. "Are you serious going to this in the bathroom.." Your eyes darted away from him, "What if I said, yes?" He lifted your head up narrowly so that your eyes met his "...what if we get caught?" You really did hate him, how he made you feel, how he controlled you, but it felt natural to be obedient to him, his cold stare meeting yours.
"Let's wait still we do" He leaned towards you and whispered to your ear, before taking you by surprise, taking your body and placing it on the marble of the cold bathroom counter. Making you hiss from the temperature change, his actions were rushed taking your tights off with the motion of matching colored panties, discarding them somewhere else.
His lips latching onto yours, leaning you back to the mirror, your arms holding down for support. Moans trailing down from your lips, groans from his, your hands on your cheeks, feeling his tongue exploring the caverns of your mouth. Opening your eyes slightly from the hungry kiss, catching your gaze at the growing size that was bound to be released from his constricted black pants. You withdraw from the kiss attempting to catch your breath, feeling yourself unravel in front of the blonde gentleman. "Just put 'it' in already" You whispered, hanging your arms that lack strength on his shoulders, "Not yet, my dove" Feeling his fingers dancing under your dress, his finger making contact with the sensitive parts of you, making you shutter.
"Coriolanus....be gentle, you know im sensitive" your lips pouting before feeling the intrusion, making you jump in your skin. Your languid moans being ripped out from your throat, while he pushes you further, pushing the digit further in and taking it out, thrusting in a frantic style.
Your body jolted and bounced back from the force he used. He edges you on, till your skin is covered with a layer of sweat, and everything around you makes you feel hot. You needed to get out of his dress in some way, it was another layer that denied you, the friction you needed.
His slender fingers carved a way into you, reaching into parts of you didn't know you had, your head hung low, feeling embarrassed from the vulgar things you both were doing in the bathroom, the feeling of being caught was only a chance but was never low. Your eyes hesitantly look at the door, feeling your skin pricking, distracting you. "Coryo...I'm close" you whispered, something in him erupted when you said that, that..very nickname. His fingers removed themselves from you, making you quiver, dissatisfied.
"Y/N..I want you to use that name...every time I thrust into you" He spoke, his very words made you wet, if not impossible more attracted. His hands on your upper thigh, pulling you towards him. Propping your hip at the edge of the counter, your cheeks were flushed, knowing what was next.
Next thing you knew his pant were discarded like your panties, and feeling him lining up with your slit. His hand is on your waist massaging the muscle, before he pushes his hips to yours, the intrusion feels better, moans trailing down on your lips. His hip colliding with yours. Your ears hearing him groan in pleasure, your own mind on cloud 9.
Feeling yourself getting needier for a sort of release or satisfaction.
"C-coryo, I'm close" you whimpered, your skin feeling more hot, your dress making you uncomfortable. His cock fucking into you, your body jolting at the frantic push into you. Hooking your arms around, feeling yourself almost unraveling, "Me too, my dove" Coriolanus groans out, his hips snapping back into you. Before you felt a crash of waves coming down on you, your gummy walls clamping down around his cock. Hearing his groans in your ear, as he thrust into you a few more times before pulling out of you, and spilling himself on your stomach.
Heavy breathing was all you heard, no words just your body growing tired from the minute. "You did well" his hands caressing your cheek gently. Your lips parted, as you stared into his icy-like eyes. Your chest heaves out, placing your hands on his, leaning into his embrace.
You hate it, but you can't understand why you love it at the same time...it fills you with confusing thoughts, but every time you look at the same blonde gentleman you thought you were to loathe, but your heart skips a beat.
You gave him back a small smile. Finding yourself surrendering and freezing into the snow and frostโand your heart being held with a lock and key.
POV: you called the slasher a munch.
n.o.t.e.s - the slashers reacting to you calling them a munch >3, I just wanted to write something and it's still February.

โ He would be lowkey kinda confused about what a munch is.
โ Imagine him standing there menacingly, and you're literally crawling on your back, spitting profanities.
โ You called him a munch when you were running away from him, trying to at least distract him.
โ Probably scratched his head when he heard the word and cocked his head.
โ He would just stand there, looking at you confusedly.
โ This baby would be so confused when said it.
โ Cocked his head to the side, just standing there, breathing.
โ I just imagine him just muttering a little "what?".
โ He would just lower his knife cutely, so confused about what you said.
โ Probably would tell you to shut the hell up and stop the accusations.
โ I feel like Freddy would deadass know the meaning of it since he literally kills children, and teenagers have probably heard the term before.
โ His eyebrows just twitched as he just looked at you.
โ Probably mad and pissed, just makes him want to kill you more.
โ Similarly, like Freddy, stop the accusation and looks away from you with his face full of red.
โ He would probably be in disbelief. Probably play it off and ignores you for the whole day.
โ Your probably gonna be his first victim after you said, ๐
โ Imagine your running away from the killer and he just stabs you in the chest, and mutters: "I'm never eater, just a killer".
โ Stu would definitely, and I mean definitely prove how he munch and would say it proudly.
โ Would literally be confident, of this guy an eater just look at him ๐.
โ Imagine hanging out with him and the whole group, at the water fountain like in the scene from the movie. -And you called him a munch and he like "Are you telling me, that I eat you out so well"
โ And you're like just standing there blushing.

w.a.r.n - Homelander being a warning, anger issue, gore topics, organs.

4 weeks passed supposed off the accident happened. It was downtown New York, a few blocks away from your apartment. The Police and reinforcement and newscasters were there trying to find evidence of the massacre of human organs scattered in the alleyway.
'DAILY NEWS A BRUTAL MURDER HAPPENED IN DOWNTOWN NEW YORK,' the news headlines read.
It was a brutal scene; some sure came to the scene; it was something. Just to your luck, one theme was Homelander at the scene. It was interesting that a high-standing superhero was at the scene of the low massacre.
"She really gave us a show," he murmured with a little smile, his hand behind his back.
'VOUGHT' read from the building standpoint, home of the wonderous superhero as the seven. It must be pretty good working alongside superheroes; it must be a dream come true.
It really wasn't. But hey, you would do anything for the hefty paycheck that came into the mailbox, paying your bills. You scanned your id badge on your lanyard and walked into the bright building, holding your bag with you as you came to the elevator. Today was better than the week you had, especially with your crappy boss.
'DING' the elevator stops on the floor you're on as you entered in.
You felt better about today; you got a full night of rest, and you even got the time to make some coffee for yourself. Today was your day, bathing couldn't ruin it, you thought to yourself.
Pressing the floor buttons on the elevator panel onto the 68th floor, the elevator music pinning into the elevator; you stand on the side of the elevator until you hear some yelling.
"Wait! Hold the elevator!" a feminine voice ranged; you immediately press the opening elevator button, letting the women in before the elevator door was closed.
"Thank you so much!" she pants; she was holding a bunch of paperwork in her hands. "Busy schedule?" you respond, motioning to the paper she was holding.
"Uh, yes..mhm!" she responded as she look down, looking at her shoes.
"So, what department are you in" you place your hand on your hip as you stare at the shorter woman.
"Office management."
"PR"
After that, the silence was comfortable, more settling than what happened between and homelander.
"Oh, shit, could you press floor 38, please!"
"Sure thing" you pressed the floor on the elevator panel, and after that, some more silence settled in it wasn't awkward but better.
'Ding!" the elevator stopped at her station, and she stepped out, "Well, it was nice to meet you; oh wait," she stepped back before the elevator should close, "what's your name?"
"Y/N"
"Eliza, bye!" she waved as she ran to her office station; the elevator door closing as you only saw her brown hair in the wind.
It was refreshing to see a Vought employee not being a bitch to you, but I think today even improved for you, especially.
'Ding,' the elevator doors open, and you step out, walking to your office cubic with a bit of pep.
You didn't have to contact any stupid heroes, especially homelander. No whining, nothing from your boss; you opened the door to your office and sat down.
A big smile spreads across your face; nothing could go wrong or turn your body to face your computer.
Until your office door opened, the clanking of heels could be sounded in the silent office, gaining the attention of other people. It was a red-headed woman coming near you, holding a couple of folders in her hands.
You immediately turn your body away, hiding your face away from her, but it was completely useless. "Miss Y/N, isn't it right?"
You turned your body to her, "Yes, what do you need?"
"Straight to the point, I love it. My name is Ashley, and I want to give you a promotion of a lifetime! courtesy of Vought; if you can follow me to discuss further, that would be nice". She said.
"Sure.." you got up from your seat and followed her. You were an isolated space away from anyone, "Okay, so Y/N, this a wonderful opportunity for you. It's not a lie that you're a super, right?" She started, your eyebrows furrowed when she said 'supe.'
"What do you mean.." you respond to her accusation.
"Aren't you a supe, right? Well, we wanted you to tell us that you can become a professional supe, save people and be an inspiration to everyone, and also have a seat with the seven"
"What happened to transculent?
"Well, it's something I can't explain to you, especially, but..." she turned her head, "Would be a better step up than to work in a small office cubic.."
"How do you know?"
You immediately flipped her body and slammed her into the wall, grabbing her neck.
"How the fuck you know, Ashley. I'll snap your throat in half right now.."
She grasped your hand on your throat, and she slowly struggled against your strength. the clasp of boots echoed in the hallway, and a faint sight of an American flag was in your peripheral vision.
"Dammit" you took your hands off her throat. As Ashley rubbed her neck, with the faint grasp of your hand, the red mark was still on her skin.
You stepped away from her, as you stared at Homelander emerged from the shadows literally..
"You know, Y/N, that was a good stunt you pulled off earlier.." he said.
You furrowed your eyebrows as you looked at him. You bit your lips, "What the fuck do you want!" you barked at him.
"I guess Ashley didn't tell you yet, Join the Seven," he responded with a small smile. "Im not good at math, but isn't there supposed to be 7 people, not 8" you respond.
Ashley was still on the floor, as she looked between you and the homelander. Her face was still expressed a bit of fear as you were yelling at homelander.
"Well, transculent missing, so you would still have a chance to be in there besides your power, and the seven would be better than what that cheap semitransparent cocksucker has.."
"Well, there's no way that happening" Take a step back, in case you had to run.
"Oh, sweetie, even you know that running is useless.." he looked at you.
You back up away from him, as you took a deep breath, and broke into a sprint, even though you were warned, you didn't listen.
The last thing you heard was some murmuring from the homelander.
Running into some Vought employees as you pushed some away, damn, who knew this building was so big, it was even hard with your heel pinching your feet.
You were stumbling as you tried to push some of the employees away from you. You saw a brief look of another super, 'Wait, was that..queen Maeve" you thought,
Before you notice it is too late, the last thing you saw was black, as you feel your body thrown over something like a ragdoll.
Today wasn't a good one, especially for you.
