p.a.i.r.i.n.g - Kenny x rich!fem reader
w.c. - 603
โ Kenny in this story is 18+. So don't attack me.
โ The Reader is 3 years older than Kenny.
โ SFW
You would be a literal angel sent from heaven for Kenny and Karen, a guardian for both of them.
You help them with their financial problems, help them buy groceries and food, and visit them to see that there okay, even with buying them clothes.
Their parents would definitely enjoy you visiting them and helping out.
Kenny would definitely brag about you to his friends.
POV: When Kenny is bragging about you, I would feel Eric should definitely be annoyed, "WE GET IT, KENNY!" just basically screaming at him.
Imagine you and Kenny walking into the school as the 'it' couple.
You would take him out to the different types of restaurants, just basically spending money on him, like who wouldn't.
Imagine Kenny's face lighting up from all the good food he ate, literally shoving that food down his throat.
Karen would love to be around you; you would be her idol. She would draw pictures of you and show you with admiration. You both would be total best friends though despite the obvious age difference.
โ NSFW
Being Kenny's Sugar Mommy would definitely be a perk; you have him in your hands, especially in his state of the class.
He would be just a phone call away.
Imagine being his SM, and your in your office just feeling pent up and wanting a release, and you had him take a right on your desk. Your moans are audible while you are basically half-dressed, your clothes on the floor, your eyes feeling heavy as he just cummed into you.
Money would just be paper toys with you; you would always take Kenny shopping and buy him cute little gifts from expensive shops, Gucci, Prada, Louis Vuitton, Dior, and Hermes.
You would shower him with beautiful clothing, and gifts basically making him your own Ken doll. Every time you saw him wearing the clothing you bought him, you just wanted him to fuck you right there and there, even in the dressing room.
โญ Imagine you and Kenny were in a luxurious clothing store, and Kenny came out looking pretty and handsome and making you so fucking horny, and you just forced him back in the dressing room. The staff thought nothing wrong, but you guys were fucking inside the dressing room, just milking him dry. As you guys pulled in a heated makeout.
He withdraws from his muttering, "We shouldn't be doing this."
"Just shut up and make me cum" you whispered.
Then you guys finished, as you just pulled out your black card, paid for the items, and left with a big smile at Kenny while Kenny was flustered.
Imagine this, appearing out of nowhere, where you saw Kenny just hanging out with his friends and walking up to them, stealing Kenny from his group to suck him off in a random bathroom.
โญ Your head bopping down on his dick, as your down on your knee, having him all disheveled. His whimpering and moaning just make you weak and wet. When he's reaching his orgasm, you just teasingly start licking his tip, pumping him. Just looking at him innocently as you jerked him.
As you slowly took off your panties, lowering yourself down on him, making him needy while he gripped your waist. Wrapping your hands around him as he thrust inside of your moist cunt.
Clapping sounds, moaning, and whimpering was heard in the bathroom.
Kenny would be submissive when you are near; he is your little plaything.
Kenny would worship everything about you; it would be an honor for him to screw you or even look at your body.
โ KNY DEMONS x fem! upper moon reader
n.o.t.e.s - the sword arc was so delicious to watch literally, I just wanted to write something tbh. ๐ข
w.a.r.n - some crack energy, fluff, doma being a menace to society,
w.c. - 753
The strings of the biwa ranged throughout the infinite castle, summoning the upper moons to the castle.
From those few, you were already there due to Muzan's orders. You were trying to busy yourself playing with your h/c hair, waiting for the upper moons to span in.
It was pretty boring for you; you couldn't sit on the floor because of how uncomfortable it was because you managed to disobey his orders by helping some hashira. It was even a miracle that you didn't die because you managed to do it every time; some demons thought you were in a relationship with Muzan, so it wouldn't be surprising.
You were bored out of your mind, trying to converse with Nakime, "So Nakime wanna go out after this meeting" you chimed, clapping your hands together, looking at the biwa lady.
You lifted your head to see a upper moons before you, "That was quick," you murmured; you heard a familiar annoying voice saying your name.
"Y/N-chan," Doma's voice ranged out, his hand touching your shoulder; he irked everything in your body, "Did you miss me, y/n-chan" he gave you a toothy smile, and you looked at him with disgust.
"Don't be like that, Y/n-chan. Maybe we can go to my place and-' Soon, you found Doma's head on the castle's floor, thanks to Akaza.
His whole body was irked by Doma's presence, "Thank you, akaza" You gave him a smile that made Akaza blush, and his once-white face turned red.
You heard Doma's whines in the background calling your name
"It was no problem" he placed a hand behind his back, looking away from you.
You soon saw Daki and Gyutaro span in the castle, "Y/N!" Daki yelled at you before tackling you into a hug.
"Hey Daki" you smiled, patting her head.
"Y/N, I missed you," she sang out, burying herself into you, "Maybe if you're not busy, you we have a makeover," she exclaimed, "Sure," you smiled, "Daki, what about me" Doma whined.
"Go kill yourself, you perv," Daki yelled while protectively holding you, "Oh, hi Gyutaro" You smiled at him, and you waved at him supporting Daki's weight.
Gyutaro's cheeks turned light pink, and you giggled from the reaction.
Soon Daki got pulled away from you by her brother; the upper moon one caught your eye, and you walked up to him, "Hi, kokushibo" you exclaimed, he was mostly quiet, but you manage to get the word out of his mouth.
He looked at you briefly before muttering a 'hello' and walking away. You eventually saw Hantengu on the floor, cowardly to himself, and Gyokko talking to Doma with his regrown new head.
A swift wind made your h/c hair blow back as all the upper moons bowed to their demon lord, which appeared out of nowhere. You just stood there looking stupid, "Oh, Muzan finally you here; I was getting bored," you muttered still standing, crossing your arm, cocking your head at him.
The uppermoons were astonished at what you just said to Muzan, you're probably the only one that manage to get away with disrespecting Muzan without getting punished or even dying.
You saw Muzan's eyebrow switching at your comment; you smiled from the reaction.
He shot you a glare before your hand was force by what it felt like air to sit down but, which led to your face buried into the tatami floor.
It earned from sniggers from the upper moons before everyone was silenced by Muzan.
The meeting was quick and short by Muzan degrading all the upper moons except Kokushibo; your head was still stuck as you struggled.
You manage to get your head help by someone grabbing onto your waist and pulling you out of the floor. Whoever this hero was you were probably grateful, because Muzan manage to get your head really stuck to the floor.
But unfortunately for you, it was Doma, holding your waist. "Y/n-chan, we should do this more often" he exclaimed before you punched his head away from you.
Forcing his grip on your waist away before you whipped your head to the loud voice of Daki and Akaza charging to Doma's headless body.
"Get your hands off her, you pervert" Daki and Akaza yelled before jumping Doma.
There were crushing the stronger demon; you deadpanned at the sight. While the upper moons was busy, Gyutaro was laughing at seeing Doma being attacked by Akaza and his sister.
It was pure chaos.
I deadass thought Percy Jackson, hero of Olympus, trials of apollo and etc were for the kids, not adults ๐
Bye when soldier boy see black noir 2.0, he's def killing him.
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.

w.c. - 316
WENDY
โฆ Wendy would be a good girlfriend like she would like to comfort you at your lowest and stand up for you, like if Cartman fatass tries to make fun of you.
โฆ I feel she would be a good cook like she could make your favorite food and stuff.
โฆ Imagine going to the carnival with her; she would win you most of the plushies and prizes. Just bombard you with the huge plushies and teddy bears.
โฆ If your having trouble doing something like schoolwork, she would be glad to help you do it ( bc she is not the type of person to give the answers)
โฆ Wendy would make a playlist for you and her to listen to, like a Spotify playlist about you guys, to listen to together.
โฆ Wendy would be easy to make jealous, but I feel she could be possessive of you or just overly protective of you, especially when you're talking other people; she just loves you sm.
BEBE
โฆ Bebe would be the type of person to take photos with you 24hrs, like if you're eating, when you guys are hanging out, and when you guys even shopping. Like this girl cannot put down her phone.
โฆ Bebe is canonically a shopaholic like you would be the one carrying her bag filled with clothes and she would shop for you too, like every time, you guys walked across to a store, she can't resist buying something.
โฆ Bebe would love to do your hair, like braiding it, making a ponytail, and styling it.

______________________________________________________________
You were in your room getting ready for your date, laying down all your cute clothes and jewelry.
You wanted to look good but too good, yet also chic but not too stylish, just something that expresses you, because anything you wear outside express how you live and act.
You even got your legs shaved and got a mani-pedi.
Soon you were interrupted by your irritating sister, Erica. Always in your business like it was the wild west.
"Y/N, where are you going" Erica questioned you,
"Why is where I'm going, your concern?" you looked back at her.
"...Because mom and dad left the house and told me that you have babysit me, and Lucas is going to do some stupid thing with his nerd friends.."
"What" you gasp
"That's totally unfair," you complained.
"Well, life isn't fair, ain' it," your little sister blabbed out.
Before you could even hear what she said, you ran down the hallway away from your room and went towards Lucas. You didn't even knock. You just bust open that door.
"What the heck Y/N" Lucas yelled out
"Lucas..my little brother Lucas, for a love of a sister, can yo-" you were soon cut off,
"No"
"What do you mean no? I barely said anything."
"What you were about to say is for me to babysit Erica, and I will not"
"Please, Lucas, it's just one time. I will promise to repay you back."
"50 bucks"
"50 bucks for a one-time thing?"
"take or leave it"
"How about 15?"
Soon a long debate about how much money you have to pay Lucas to occur, and you guys finally got to agree on how much money you would pay, it was 25 bucks.
You finally got to properly get ready now, without any disturbances or that when you thought, then you heard rocks hitting your window.
You opened your window, annoyed by who was attacking your window, only to find out it was your boyfriend, Eddie.
Eyes brighten up with joy to your boyfriend, and how convenient it of him to come just on time, you rushed downstairs and went outside to see your date.
Eddie decided to have a picnic date with you. It was cute and elaborately planned. It was a fun time. You had your picnic in a field of flowers, the area was beautiful, and you got to make some flower crowns for yourself and Eddie.
The moment you had with Eddie was everything, you really wished you could stay like that forever, but sadly all good things shall come to an end.
You were dropped off by Eddie, and you couldn't just leave him without giving him a kiss, which you did and not even 5 seconds later you were reprimanded by your parents. :D

You thought that it was over when you won.
Thatโs what winning The Hunger Games meant, right? The psychological torture, the grueling conditions, and the fear that wouldnโt leave you until you finally left the arena was supposed to be over. You made it out through blood, sweat, and tears, and so your reward was to go home and reunite with your family and try your best to put the memories behind you.
Try your best to put him behind you.
So, why were you still being tormented?
When you first locked eyes with Coriolanus Snow, your first thought was how strikingly blue his were. Almost as if they werenโt real and had been specially manufactured in The Capitol for him, somehow. His hair, too, was just so much blonder than anything youโd seen in District 12, and again, you noted how so much about him seemedโฆartificial.
โฆbut then he spokeโฆand the effect his voice had on you was very real.
โYou donโt seem like youโre supposed to be here,โ youโd said to him after stepping off of that train.
His response was expected, a charming chuckle leaving his pink lips, blond curls the perfect addition to his features.
โIโm not,โ he slowly admitted.
The intensity behind his gaze whenever he so much as glanced at you was enough to make any girlโs heart race, and despite what you wished, you werenโt immune. He was beautifulโgorgeous as some of the other tributes and mentors liked to call himโand despite the initial intimidation, there was something about him that made you want to let your guard down.
โฆbut he was your mentorโฆand a capitol citizenโฆand you were nothing more than his ticket to notoriety.
โDonโt you know who his dad was?โ another tribute, one from one of the better districts, had said to you in a tone like you were stupid.
That was all the confirmation you needed, really.
โฆbut heโd hopped onto the truck with you and gotten into that cage with you and brought you and your district mate food. He gave you poison to use against the other tributes. He wanted you to appeal to the audience so heโd have the funds to send you supplies. It was hard to decipher what was purely for show and what was just because he wanted youโand him by extensionโto win. Perhaps, they were one in the same though, and it was impossible to have one without the other. Maybe it didnโt matter his reasons behind his desire to have his tribute win.
Maybe all that mattered was that youโd win.
โฆbut that was when you thought winning meant youโd be free.
Coriolanus Snow was your best chance at winning, and so when the rebels rigged the arena, you didnโt hesitate to stay behind and save him. It wasnโt even a question in your mind because mentor or not, he was hurt, and you had to believe that that one fluke was not your only fighting chance. You couldnโt allow yourself to believe that in saving him, youโd allowed freedom to pass you by.
โYou saved me,โ he told you, a gentle brush of his handkerchief under your eye to catch your tears. โYou saved me, and I am going to get you out of here.โ
You had no idea then that he meant out of the gamesโฆand to him.
It was that flickering moment of doubt where you wondered if you could actually win, and you recalled what youโd said to him earlier about believing you could, how much you needed him to actually believe it. Now, you were the one doubting, and he could see it, blue gaze flicking over your face and soaking in the fear and uncertainty, because if you couldnโt winโฆ
Youโd die.
A lingering gaze and a tense atmosphere, and you felt yourself pulling back, realization hitting you as to just what you were about to let happen. It was hard to decipher who overstepped first, but you couldnโt allow yourself to get wrapped up in something that was only ever meant to be strictly professional. Coriolanus was your mentor, and you were his tribute.
That was all.
You didnโt know then the full lengths he went to just to ensure your victory. How could you? You were too busy trying to survive, trying to fight off rabid tributes and teenagers driven mad with the sole desire to just live. It was all so unfair and angering, and you were sure that with less focus, you mightโve gone insane too. You didnโt have the luxury to worry about your eerily handsome mentor and whatever ulterior motives he mightโve had to see you beat this thing.
So, when you did win, all you could feel was relief. All you could focus on was your family and their faces when youโd ultimately reunite with them. All you could even entertain were thoughts of pushing this very real nightmare to the back of your mind for as long as you possibly could. Initially, you didnโt even notice that you werenโt immediately reunited with your mentor when they crowned you as the winner and got you out of there.
At least, not until you came face to face with him in your own district.
โI thought theyโd killed you. I didnโt know if my actions had come back on you too,โ Coriolanus told you in a secluded corner, the loud music drowning out his words and the cover of darkness hiding your faces.
Those beautiful pale curls were gone, and any thought that so much of his beauty relied on his golden locks was gone too with one drink of him. He was still the same handsome boy that mentored you, the same one whoโd garnered the nickname โgorgeousโ among the other tributes. Up on that stage, youโd been thrown to meet a familiar gaze, your harmonious tune pausing for half a second as he met your shocked stare with an expression of his own you couldnโt place, pink lips curved upwards ever so slightly.
Any question of how and why he was here had disappeared as you registered his words. Confusion filled you as you stared at him, a slight frown between your brows as you wracked your brain for how that could possibly make sense.
โWhy would they kill meโฆ?โ you slowly asked him, and you and the shadows were all that was privy to his confession.
The water bottles, the handkerchief, and the snakesโeven the poison. Coriolanus had cheated to secure your victory, broken rules that plucked him out of The Capitol and dropped him here in your very own district as a Peacekeeper. The shock you felt that your victory was far from a fair one warred with the confusion you felt as to why heโd risk everything just for you to win.
If youโd lost fair and squareโas you probably should haveโthere was no doubt in your mind that heโd be safely tucked away in the lavishness of The Capitol instead of lingering about in some rundown excuse for a bar in lowly District 12. If he knew what awaited him should his treachery be discoveredโฆthen why chance it? Nothing about your brief tutelage with him could justify what heโd risked and ultimately lost.
You wanted to ask him why, but something in you was afraid of the answer.
That almost kissโa kiss you hadnโt thought about in monthsโsuddenly came to mind, and even though you didnโt ask him why, something in you knew why even if you wanted to deny it. It was there in the dim lighting and rowdy atmosphere of some rundown building that every minor interaction didnโt start to feel so minor.
Every brush of his hand against yours as he reached for you, the unsettling way he seemed to watch you in that short time that youโd simply written off as concern for his tribute, and the ruthless desire to see you out on the other side of the arena. The kiss that never was only seemed like a lapse in judgement to you then, but in this moment, you had suspicions that it was very much intentional.
You swallowed, realizing that in that brief internal introspection, Coriolanus hadnโt taken his eyes off of you once.
โDid they send you to District 12?โ you finally asked him.
You didnโt know what gave you away. Perhaps your tone, maybe your face, or maybe your eyes werenโt as secretive as youโd like to believe. Either way, something about your visage and demeanor gave the blond man pause, head tilting just a tad as those baby blues glinted with something you didnโt recognize but you know you didnโt like. He studied your face before coming up with the answer he probably thought you wanted.
โOf course.โ
You didnโt know if you believed him.
โฆand Coriolanus could tell.
Youโd played enough cat and mouse games in the arenaโyou never thought youโd have to play them in your own home too.
Starving off the affections of some boy in your district wasnโt hard or uncharted territory. Even spurning the forbidden advances of a Peacekeeper or two wasnโt unheard of, but Coriolanus was different. He wasnโt some average Joe turned cop. He was born and raised in The Capitol with a powerful father, and even though the man had been taken before his time, your former mentor still had been brought up with the kind of influence and reach and mindset that surpassed the average Peacekeeper.
They were followersโcontrolled by The Capitol and tasked with maintaining order. Most were no more than dumb brutes, mindlessly following orders without question, simple enough to be bribed and swayed. If Coriolanusโ actions had shown you anything, it was that he was not a follower. He did what he wanted and played by his own rules, and it was how you found yourself hunted by a gaze you thought youโd left behind in the arena.
Since the discovery of your former mentorโs presence in your district, you never felt alone.
Every walk to trade for food felt shadowed, every footstep home was accompanied with an echo, and a sweep of your eye over the crowd as you played an instrument or sang a tune was rewarded with a familiar blue one that made your heart freeze. You were forced to ignore it no longer when a single rose was left for you on the doorstep, your maโs gaze questioning as she held it out to you.
You didnโt know where or how he got it, but you only cared about giving it back.
โI canโt accept this,โ you told him, gaze steady but fingers trembling as you held it out to him.
It was raining, and the cover over your heads sheltered you from the downpour, but it did little to drown out the sound of it. Coriolanus simply stared at the flower for what felt like too long, making no moves to take it from you, and you swallowed. His blue gaze zeroed in on the action before it lifted to your face.
โโฆand why not?โ
โBecause I think it means something different to you than it does to me.โ
Your response was swift, and you watched him sigh, eventually reaching out to finger the flower like he did that day before heโd proceeded to put it behind your ear. He finally took it, and just like that day before the games, it found its way behind your ear once again. The only change this time was the shudder that traveled down your spine, and the apprehension you felt when his gaze met yours.
For the longest time, the only sound was that of the rain, a few stray drops making itโs way onto your face and clothes due to the wind. If the man before you still had the locks youโd met him with, they wouldโve been rustling with the breeze, right now. Both of you were very still, or maybe it was just youโnervous and fearful of how heโd respond. He briefly looked past you, eyes glinting briefly before they hardened once again, his pink lips pressed together as he regarded you.
โโฆand if it does?โ
He continued when you frowned.
โMean something different to me than it does to you,โ he elaborated, and you blinked.
Taking a deep breath, you tried to gather your thoughts.
โI knowโฆthat Iโm only standing here, now, because of you,โ you slowly started, watching him push his shoulders back. โI won because of you, I know that, but-.โ
โExactly,โ he cut you off, making your lips part. โYou won because of meโฆand everything I sacrificed was to make sure you won.โ
โโฆbut I didnโt ask you to do that!โ
You feltโฆcornered, somehow, because on the one hand, yes. You did owe so much to the man before you, but at the same time, what did you owe specifically? Your attention? Your affection? Whatever he deemed an appropriate compensation? When you saved his life in the arena that day, and he vowed to save yours in return, you didnโt understand the full ramifications of the deal you were agreeing to.
โI saved your life, and you saved mine, and Iโm sorry for the things you felt the need to risk, but thatโs where it ends.โ
The cold from the rain didnโt faze you nearly as much as the heat from his gaze boring into your back.
You wanted to believe that your lack of confrontation was what led you to the predicament you found yourself in. After all, things between you two had held too many โwhat ifsโ and lingering feelings and questions. You liked to hope that telling the man in no uncertain terms that your relationship should never and would never progress beyond anything professional would fix things.
You never wouldโve guessed that your bout of confidence would only prove to make things worse.
โMy ma doesnโt even know any rebels, and you know that.โ
Youโd whispered the words so quietly, throat too choked up to speak any louder as you tearfully stared Coriolanus down, your words only intended for the two of you. Your back was pressed to the doorway as he stood before you, a foot or two of space between you as other Peacekeepers did their duty to search your house as thoroughly as possible. The reason youโd been given was suspicion of treasonโto the shock of your maโbut both you and the handsome man before you knew the truth.
โOne can never be too sure. Itโs always those you least expect.โ
His cool response only made you look away, a few tears escaping.
It wasnโt supposed to be like this. You won, you were free, so why did it still feel like you were in the gameโฆexcept a much more dangerous one this time? You could feel his eyes on you as you watched man after man rifle through you and your maโs things, your younger sister not home to witness this. Out of the corner of your eye, you could see him take a step towards youโjust one, but one was enough to make you flinch.
You still didnโt give him the satisfaction of looking at him though.
โUnbearable,โ he quietly said. โโฆnot able to be enduredโฆor tolerated.โ
You swallowed.
โNot to be confused with hardโrequiring a great deal of endurance or effort.โ
Another step towards you.
โTo find something unbearable means that you quite literally cannot stomach it any longer. It forces a change to come, forces something toโฆgive,โ he whispered.
Your gaze was still focused ahead, but his words made you blink, made your heart sink, and you swore that he knew that.
โI can make things incredibly unbearable for youโฆand your family.โ
You straightened at that, finally looking at him with a venomous gaze and a heaving chest. Coriolanus reached up to pick at your shirt, removing a piece of grass from it, and you watched him inspect it before turning his blue eyes back onto you. They lingered on your own eyes before lowering to your lips, his own twitching so subtly you mightโve missed it if you were anyone else.
โOr I can make sure youโll be taken care of, looked after as if you were my ownโฆโ his gaze met yours again. โItโs entirely your choice.โ
You two stared at one another for an infuriating amount of time before he let out a sharp whistle, telling the other men that nothing seemed to be here and to move on. His wording was not lost on you, and you crossed your arms over your chest. Coriolanus was the last to walk out, and despite the feel of his heavy gaze, you didnโt look his way the entire time.
Your ma commented on the strangeness of the whole ordeal, but nothing about it was strange to you. It was all very calculating and sinister actually, and while you grew up hearing countless talk of running away and living off the grid, you were never more tempted than in this momentโฆbut you were not alone. Your ma was sickly, and your sister was too young.
โฆand if you left, you could only guess what youโd be leaving your family susceptible to.
Your future seemed inevitable no matter how much you tried to find a way out of the path set for you.
The first night you slept with Coriolanus Snow, it was storming just like that day youโd attempted to give him back his flower. Youโd cried for a good three hours before, feeling helpless in the aftermath of another so-called inspection from Peacekeepersโthis one much more destructive. The only light that night came from the brief flashes of lightning, and the sound of the rain drowned out the reluctant gasps to leave your lips.
Hands much softer than you ever expected trailed down your frame, curving over your hips and dipping underneath your thighs. The blond manโs lips rarely left your skin, kissing whatever part of you that came to mind, nose gently grazing you as he did and pulling shudders from your frame. It was a foreign feeling to be so heated and afraid at the same time.
Under the cover of darkness, his fingers intertwined with your own and his hips were flush with yours. The feel of him inside of you was much more jarring than you thought it would be, choked deep breaths leaving your parted lips as he pressed his face into the crook of your neck. His thrusts were slow, the complete opposite of what you expected, and you didnโt know if you liked that better or worse.
Every kiss felt wrong, like you were betraying yourself, but in the same manner, they also reminded you of that first day you met. You thought about when you stepped off of that train, and that smooth voice escaped those pink lips, and your stomach flipped no matter how much you pretended it didnโt. The person you were that day wanted to throw your head back and welcome the little nips he left along your skin.
The person you were, now, wanted to crawl inside of your skin.
This man had stalked you to the highest degree, following you all the way from The Capitol just to collect on the young woman whose survival he ensured. The things heโd risked and ultimately lost, he placed the weight of on your shoulders as if you were responsible to compensate for that somehow. As if it was your duty to make his sacrifices worth it.
When he pulled you into his lap, resting on him with arms circled around your waist, it was your turn to press your face into the area where his neck and shoulder met. His fingers dancing along your skin made you shudder, and that just made the tears collect more because you didnโt want to enjoy this, but your body and your brain didnโt seem to be in alignment.
When you were forced to come around him, you saw stars, and you were positive your nails left marks on his back.
You didnโt really think that no more trouble from Peacekeepers was worth the figurative collar around your neck. The abundance of food and supplies might have been, if only to just see the smiles on your ma and sisterโs faces, but even then, when you found your back pressed to Coriolanusโ chest as he drove his cock up into you, you wondered if it was actually worth it.
Your ma would say no, that you knew for sure, but you supposed it wasnโt her call to make.
After all, the alternative was psychological torment and worst-case scenarios you didnโt even want to entertain.
โWould you have had her arrested?โ you quietly wondered one night.
The sheet was clutched to your chest, and you were facing the wall, still unable to look him in the eye directly afterwards. Youโd never been able to, feeling used and low and indefensible. You tried not to dwell on the feel of his fingertips tracing patterns into your shoulder, his cool breath hitting your skin as he exhaled.
โI meanโฆwould you haveโฆframed her somehow? Found some justification for it?โ
You didnโt know why you were asking, certain you wouldnโt like the answer, and as you predicted, you felt your throat tighten the longer the silence stretched. Against your willโlike many things youโd been doing as of lateโa few tears escaped, and even before he answered, you knew what you were going to hear.
โYes,โ he confessed, just as quietly.
You squeezed your eyes shut, subtly wiping your face.
โI sacrificed so much for you to win, and not just because your win was my winโฆbut because I wanted to see you win,โ he murmured, placing a kiss to your back. โโฆbecause I wanted you.โ
You knew that, but having it confirmed so plainly was disturbing.
โโฆand when I eventually make my way back to The Capitol, as we both know I will, Iโll still want you.โ
Your stomach sank at that, and for the first time, you turned to look at him while still trembling in the aftermath of what had quickly become a nightly occurrence. His gaze was still focused on where your back had been, and when his eyes flitted up to connect with yours, you didnโt have the words to convey how you felt about what he was insinuating.
โIn The Capitol, youโll have access to things you could never even imagineโฆand you could send those same things back to your family,โ he told you, reaching up to touch your face.
When you moved to sit up, he stopped you, a firm grip on your arm. Coryoโas he liked for you to call himโfixed you with a look that you knew all too well. It was the look he gave you when you tried to come up with any excuse as to why you couldnโt meet with him. It was the look you received when you briefly forgot the power dynamics here, turning away from him and attempting to push him away.
It was a look that told you not to fight the inevitable.
โI want you there with me.โ
His tone left no room for argument, and there was so much conviction in his voice that the thought of arguing seemed legitimately draining. You simply stared at him, eyes glassy, and he stared back, waiting for verbal confirmation of what you both knew was going to happen, anyway. You had no choice in the matter, you never did, and for a brief horrifying moment, you almost wished you were a lone orphan who didnโt have to look out for anybody but yourself.
That thought did make tears spill over.
It was a horrible thing to think, but your loved ones were being used against you, and you knew that your maโand your sister if she were old enough to comprehend these thingsโwould never want this for you. Coryo sat up with you, a hand resting on your cheek as he gazed at you, a thumb brushing the tears away. It wasnโt meant to be comforting.
Nothing he did was ever meant to be comforting.
โI want you there with me,โ he repeated.
You wondered what someone like you would possibly do in The Capitol.
โI donโt belong there,โ you whispered, a poor attempt to get him to change his mind.
His response was swift and clipped.
โYou belong with me.โ
When he pressed his lips to yours, it was expected that you would kiss him back. His thumb brushed along your skin as you did, a low hum sounding in the back of his throat that quickly escalated into a groan. His free arm snaked around you, and your last attempt at resisting proved futile, so you let him lay you down.
Sex with Coriolanus was a maddening experience.
You didnโt want it, and your brain didnโt want it, but it was as if your body was its own separate entity running on hormones and animal instinct.
When he rested his full weight on top of you, you shuddered for a multitude of reasonsโone of which you didnโt want to acknowledge. When he slid his hand between your breasts and down to your stomach, your back arched, chest pressing up and into his. When he pushed into you all torturously slow as he always did, you involuntarily held your breath, shaking at the feel of his hips connecting with yours, the length of him fully sheathed in your warmth.
You were terrified of him, so that was why you opened up for him like those budding roses he used to carry around, but in doing so, you made yourself vulnerable beneath him. You made yourself more susceptible to his kisses and his touch and that maddening voice that knew just how to get its way. He wasnโt a very talkative man when he was inside of you, much more content with letting his actions speak for themselves, but tonight was different.
โLook at me,โ he whispered, curving his hips into yours. โLook right at me.โ
You did, and while you didnโt know the specifics of the psychology behind this, you knew that looking into the eyes of your tormentor while in the act couldnโt be good.
โKeep your eyes on me,โ he breathlessly told you, nose brushing against yours with every thrust.
You could hear that it was starting to rain again, and you pressed your hands into the small of his back, trying to ground yourself in some wayโtrying to have control over something, anything. Tears kissed your eyes, and you sworeโyou sworeโthat something in those blues of his twinkled. It sparked something in his gaze, and in his psyche, his thrusts becoming more powerful and making you gasp, nails pressing into his skin.
He only looked especially satisfied when the tears spilled over.
When he came inside of you, and you around him, you swore you saw stars.
You even thought you saw snow.

word counter: 1.1k
It's been too long since you have seen your husband, he was always busy in the capitol.
You knew his schedule by heart, knowing he was mostly busy throughout the day and night. You tried to wait on the parlor, laying down on a velvety couch and resting your head on the armrest. It was already 12 when you looked at Big Ben's clock staring at you. Opening the fridge and placing the food in, stretching your body back. Before walking to the bathroom, turning the knob and the hot water flooded out of the faucet to the tub. Putting your hand in the water, it was warm. It was already too late to wait for him any further, so you thought to get ready for bed.
Putting some bath bombs inside, hearing the sizzling of the bath bomb, with the colorful colors diffusing into the water making it look vibrant. Turning off the running water, strip off the clothing on your body. Stepping inside the tub, relaxing your shoulders, and laying your head back.
Parting your legs, allowing your muscles to relax. "Finally" You whispered, closing your eyes and easing your joints. The steam of the water fogged up the mirrors, You laid down in there for an hour, before stepping out and wrapping your wet body with a warm towel. Putting your feet on the fluffy carpet. You did your usual routine changing into a light nightgown that draped your body fully, it was fairly hot today. Getting into your luxurious shared king-sized bed. Closing your eyes, You slipped into the dream world.
Coriolanus stepped onto the porcelain flooring, as it was the large doors were closed by guards. Coriolanus felt pent up from work, walking down to your guy's shared bedrooms. Taking off his shoes and throwing his jacket somewhere else, loosened his tie as he walked to the bedroom. Immediately looking at your peaceful figure on the bed. He found it cute, walking to your side and looking at your calm sleeping face.
He felt ashamed feeling the need for you, your nightgown was skimpy and it was see-through. Exposing every curve of your body and your breasts. His hand touches your face gently. You did stir from that sudden movement. The sudden movement lifted the blanket from your body, making your body more visible to his eyes, making you stir a little bit. His eyes widen at the lack of panties you had, his hands flipping your nightgown over revealing your slit. The cold air makes you almost wake up before he traces your folds making you tense up, your legs locking in his hand. "Haah~" you moan through your lips at the feeling, Before he gently opens your legs, sliding one of his fingers into you, he hears quiet moans from your lips.
Making him more excited, thrusting a few more digits into you, more moans came out of your mouth, as he heard some groaning. Feeling your cunt getting wetter, he felt you tensing up against his finger before he withdrew. Your were deep asleep, rubbing your legs together. Looking at your figure, your body was hot and a blush covered your face, heavy breathing coming from you. "Pleaseโ" you murmured out.
He hovered himself above your sleeping form, being careful to not wake you up, playing with his belt slipping off his pants then his boxers. He line himself to your slit, and before thrusting into you, he groaned out in pleasure. He slid into you before his hips collided with yours, your moans becoming louder, "Fuck" he whispered.
Ripping off the top of the nightgown, rolling your nipples with his finger, feeling your nipples getting harder as you got tighter around him. Placing the palm of his hand on the bed, his hips smacking yours, his ball hitting your lower core. Your walls massaged his cock, as he groaned pushing his cock further into you. "Haah~" moans rolling off your tongue, "Corio~" You murmured.
He grabs your thighs and presses them down onto your chest, he gets on top of you, his chest pressing yours, as he thrusts into you, feeling you tighten around him, his ears hearing your heavy breathing.
You woke up almost as soon as he was getting to his climax, "Honey?" your tired eyes looked at him, rubbing your eyes. Your eyes felt heavy, as you moaned. "Fuck, I just really need you" he growled into your ear, moving out and in, before his lips touched yours, in a hot kiss. a string of saliva between both of your lips, looking down at your core, his cock slipping out of you and forceful going back in, making you jolt. "Corioโ" you moaned.
His hips smacking onto yours, his hands putting your legs onto your chest, into a better mating press. He looked at your fucked out face, your body feeling ecstasy and pleasure. You felt his pace slowing down, feeling his climax coming in soon, your eyes looking at the messy scene in between your legs. "I'm going to give a little cute baby inside of you" He groaned into your ear, groping your tits.
Realizing your nightgown was gone, your body is unveiled to him. Feeling his hot load painting your gummy walls, he shoved himself into you, fucking the cum into your hole. Your hands gripping the sheets, as you cummed too, feeling a rush of hot liquid dripping out of you. Before he slips out of you, his soft cock is pulled out of you. You missed the warm length inside of you. The erotic scene of your naked exposed body and your pussy dripping from his cum, your dewy, sweaty body, and the ripped fabric around your body.
You were still tired, and weary. You tried to lean onto the headrest but failed, your back laying onto the soft mattress, Looking down at the mess between your legs. Rubbing your eyes, yawning. "Come" You motioned him towards you, patting the side of the bed, "Lay down"
The way you looked made him hard again, the lewd and vulgar scene of your body, white liquid dripping out of your pussy, your breast decorated with little hickies and bites. Bruises and marks on your waist and your hair were a mess. Sounds of panting echoed in the chamber of the room, he obeyed laying next to you still in the nude. He pushed your body close to you, rubbing your waist gently. Feeling him pressed onto your ass. Feeling him close to made you feel safe, his hand secure around you, you felt your eyes drooping down and falling asleep again, with his hands around you.

PAIRING: Peacekeeper!coriolanus x district!reader
WORD COUNTER: 2.5k
Born into the districtโborn into a life of hardships and pain...you were luckily born to two parents, and though you weren't financially stable you managed to enjoy a happy with your family. You had 3 siblings you had to look after, and whenever your parents went off to work, life was stressful but every time you got to see their faces smiling you were also satisfied.
When you got older you got a part-time job, at the vendor selling food, it was owned by an old couple who graciously gave you the job, though it wasn't a lot of money you took to support your parents. They asked to take a shift that was deeper into the night, so you accepted the offer, needing the money. Holding yourself up at the cart, waiting as you called out for customers, feeling yourself getting tired as the second. Stretching your arms out, as you looked further into the night. The night there were more Peacekeepers out, inspecting the district, it slightly made you feel apprehensive at the armed men walking through the area.
Your eyes hesitantly look and watch their movements, brushing the dust off your aprons, fixing your hair as your hair stuck to your neck from the humid air. Hearing footsteps inching near you, as you looked up...you felt your heart dropping in automatic dread, at the blonde Peacekeeper in front of you. You cleared your throat before speaking up to him, "Could I interest you, Sir?" you asked, your voice quivering as you spoke just to keep a positive tone. You felt his eyes raking you. He nodded, "I'll have that" He pointed, as you nodded. His eyes looked at you as you wrapped it up, "Have I seen you before?" He questioned, you looked up at him, "I don't think so..." You smiled at him, as you quickly boxed it up. "Enjoy, Sir" You put your hand out gesturing for him to take the box, "Thank you," He said, taking the box from your hand, and you felt his rough hands against yours.
You watched as he took his leave...you finally got to breathe, releasing the pending oxygen in your lungs and exhaling through your nose.
From the simple exchange, Coriolanus found himself visiting you at your vendor stall. Though, your introverted nature, you reluctantly started talking to him. You told him little things about your life, but he was smart enough to connect the puzzle pieces that you told him and connect it back to your life. He found your coquettish antics cute...and after your shifts you found yourself spending time with him, and often the districts were hot and humid, spending time by the lakes.
His sky-blue eyes took the appearance of your disheveled form, but he found you still captivatingโfrom your dress strap falling to your shoulder and your light dress sticking against your wet skin. He wanted to take a picture of you to save the memory...but Time after time, he found himself getting slowly addicted to you...his visits got frequent, and he would deliver little gifts or care packages to you such as medicine, food, or water. You were grateful for him doing this, but you didn't want to feel like a burden to him, at first you were hesitant to take the gifts but he would ensure that it was a gift for you.
You didn't think about the kind gestures he would do for you, but you would always thank him for what he did. Soon, his obsession with you was like a disease, it kept on spreading and spreading over time, every time he closed his eyes, it would be just you, even when he worked on his daily tasks, his mind would be infected with pictures of you. He would always prefer to be stationed somewhere near you, he would be observing you as you worked, he hated when you talked to other men that weren't him, and his obsession with you was unhealthy, It felt like he couldn't last a day without or seeing you, sometime he would show up unannounced with a bouquet of roses in his hands surprising you.
The first time it was a nice gesture, and you loved it but it started again and again, his presence was almost suffocating to you, and when he asked you the question, you felt fear of saying no to him. But you knew if you were to say 'yes' it would get worse, so you told him to give you some time to think about it, he nodded but you knew he was displeased.
You had a plan to just run away, but you knew sooner or later he would catch you, you shivered at the thought. Knowing that your family would be harmed in the invasion, your ear perked at the sound of the door, you dragged your feet to the door, opening it up. It was him, a bouquet of roses in his hands, his Arctic blue eyes staring at you. It was haunting, he cleared his throat before talking, "So..have you made your decision?" every word he said made your heart pump faster, your flight response ringing alarms through your body to run.
"Coriolanus..um" you stopped mid-way, looking at him in his eyes, "I do thank you for what you do for me, butโI barely know you, and I don't think we would..be good together" you finished your sentence, feeling an eerily feeling in your gut, "Why" that all he said, you looked again at him. It looked like a shadow was cast, his bright sky blue eyes that he looked at you with, were darkening as he spoke.
"For all I do for you, you choose to deny me" The volume of his voice increases, and you force yourself to look at him as he yells at you, he laughs for a short while, before grabbing your jaw, "I protected you, I have done everything for you" you eyes watered from his grip, "I think you should leave, Corio" you whispered, it felt like whip when you used his nickname in that sentence, he released your jaw. His hand was in your hair down, pulling you down, as you felt tears threatening to be produced, his rough hands pulling on your hair, making your scalp hurt, "Corio..please!" You exclaimed, he started to say something else, every word uttering from his word was like venom to an open wound. He threw down the bouquet of roses onto the floor
Your knee felt weak as you fell down onto the floor, hearing his footsteps receding, and the sound door being slammed closed. Tears dripping down from your cheek, the bouquet of roses on the floor, as the petals were scattered on the floor, it was some sick remember of Coriolanus. Days passed, and you saw roses on your doormat, every day it would happen, and you felt fear looming over you.
Every time the color would change from pink to a deep red, they varied every day.
But you went back to your job, selling at the stand to the deep of night, noticing the tie, you quickly packed the cart up for tomorrow and rolled it back to where the old couple resided. You sang to yourself as the wheels of the cart rolled against the broken concrete before you knew it, you felt a hand wrapping your torso, and something else like cloth suffocating you, you tried to scream, but it went deaf in your throat, succumbing to the cloth as you closed your eyes, fainting into the strangers hands.
Your eyes fluttered open, as your eyes wandered around your surroundings. You felt your legs numb, as you tried to stand up, but couldn't, looking down at yourself, rope wrapped around your body. You tried not to move from the friction of the rope hurting you.
Your ears perked at the sound of footsteps,. "Your finally awake, my dove" He walked towards you, taking a knee when he got a good look at you. His fingers caressed your cheek, "We were meant for each other, Y/N" He whispered, you started shaking when his hands lowered, and you turned yourself away from him before he withdrew from him. Before he grabbed you by your jaw, forcing you to look at him, "Do I scare you, am I that ugly that you don't want to love me, Y/N" You shook your head immediately, "Then why.." He growled, and you felt tears on your cheeks, "Don't try to use your crocodile tears on me, Y/N" He glared at you.
You looked away from him, as you sniffled, "Fuck, you don't know what you do to me.." he traveled his finger over your lip, parting it, as you stared at him. Before he kissed you, his tongue forcing itself into your mouth, you felt yourself crying more, as you bit down on his tongue. He withdrew from you, the trail of blood on his lips. His haunting chuckle echo in your ear, "You fucking bitch" He held his jaw. He stood up from the floor, looking away from him.
You heard the sound of belt jingling, your eyes widening at the sight, of his cock in his hand, "Corio, no..please' you begged, your felt yourself crying more, his footsteps inching near you, he slapped his cock on your cheek, it was degrading. "Open," He said, and you felt your lips trembling at the size, "N-no" you whispered, and he repeated himself again, you turned away before he pried your lips open and forced himself into your mouth, making you gag. His hands were in your hair, as he dragged you against his cock, fucking into your mouth. Salvia dripping down from your chin, his groans ringing out in your ears.
"Fuck, you're doing so good, sweetheart" He looked down at you, as your tears filled your vision, he smirked looking at your vulnerable form, before he thrust himself into you. You felt his hot load going down your throat, "Swallow" He said, and you obeyed, The bitter taste coating your mouth, his hands caressing your cheek, "Good girl" he smiled at you. Before he released your jaw, your eyes looked down at the floor, before you heard him tucking himself into his pants.
Days passed,
He treated you with kindness, gifting you a rose, and caressing your back as you lay on his lap, but you managed to convince him to remove the rope around your body. He would braid your hair, comb it, and treat you like a doll. It kept on happening, you started worrying about your family if they were currently looking for you. "Coriolanus, can I visit my family, please" He stopped combing your hair, and he down at you, "Do you deserve it?" He asked, "Please" you begged, sitting up as you looked at him. He breathed out, looking away from you.
"I deserve it, you kidnapped me against my own will!" You stood and yelled, he just glared at you, as he stood up. His height towering over you, "You don't need them at all, I..can give you what you need. you don't need them" He yelled at you, grabbing your shoulder as he forced you to look up at him. "No, I never asked for you to do anything, you came up to me. You did this just to do it, Coriolanus" You yelled at him, finally using his full name instead of the nickname you gave me, you felt your cheek throbbing, his hand harshly hitting you, before he grabbed you by your shirt, "I will fucking kill you and your family if you leave me, Y/N..do you hear me" He lowered his voice, you were shaking. His eyes softened at you crying, before he held you not a hug and you held him, his hands rubbing your back, soothing you.
"Just not now, Y/N.." He whispered and kissed your forehead, you felt sick to your stomach. The next day, he apologized to you, and you were forced to accept, he covered you with kisses and love, and gifted roses.
A month passed still being caged by Coriolanus, but you got some freedom from him, but you weren't allowed to leave a tall. he had surveillance on you. He always reminds you that he loved you, did kind things with you, and surprised you with flowers like he always did. Red roses everywhere,
You stared at the window, it was fairly getting dark, and no signs of Coriolanus coming back. You wanted to escape but knowing the consequence would be horrible if you committed the act, before you heard stomping from the door, your eyes looking at the furious Coriolanus in front of you. "How many men, have you slept with Y/N" You got up from your feet, looking at him incredulously, "What are you talking about?" before you felt a sting on your cheek, "Don't play dumb with me" He yelled at you, "How many" He repeated himself, "I โnone, I didn't do anything, Coriolanus" you sniffled, before he took a fist of your hair, pulling you towards him, "Don't fucking lie to me, Y/N" He growled, "I'm not lying, please" He hit you a second time, this time it was worse, feeling your nose bleeding from the impact. He started dragging you to the bedroom, where he forced you to sleep, throwing you onto the mattress of the bed, you heard him taking off his belt, forcefully tying up your hands above you.
"Coriolanus, please' you screamed, kicking your legs everywhere, "Please-please, stop" you cried as he got on top of you, taking off your pants and panties in the same quick motion. Aligning himself against, before you felt himself inside of you, it was painful, horrible. He moaned against you, as he forced himself into you and out, thrusting his hips against yours, you screamed at him, hitting him on his biceps to stop.
Your screams were deaf to his ears, as he fucked himself into you, his cock tearing everything inside of you, "Please" you heaved, hitting him, his sky-blue eyes staring at you. Time passed slowly, purposely you felt, before he cummed inside of you, you screamed for him to stop and pull out but he didn't. You lay there motionless, dried tears on your cheeks and naked in front of him, "Don't touch me" you cried, flipping to the side away from him. He called your name again, but you ignored him, holding yourself, you rolled yourself into a ball and cried to yourself until you fell asleep.
When you woke up,, you didn't see Coriolanus, you looked at yourself, your bottom still exposed, a reminder of at the ordeal that happened yesterday. You stood up, putting back your underwear and your pants, before walking out of the bedroom, rubbing your eyes still tired. There was something on the table, as you walked, it was a bouquet of fresh roses and a note attached to it with his handwriting.
You covered your mouth, and you fell to your knee and cried to yourself, knowing that he wouldn't let you go...the roses he gifted you are just a reminder of his torment.
