He is so hot đđđ„”đ
âThe reason why he didnât carve his name into such an incredible sword⊠this single character! This sword was forged with nothing but single-minded determination! This sword⊠was forged for this sole purpose and nothing else!â
Nah but I hope you all know that Greek Gods do people catching cases like dating people that are under 18 years old, and how are you going to be proud of having a dad/mom that probably dating someone that was like 13 years old, then started to mess with your mortal parent. ex: Zeus
Like niggas in camp half-bloods aren't thinking at all.
HEYY!!! Can you maybe write a fic or small drabble where fem!reader wants hobie to hang upside down so they can âspider man kissâ.
(also i luv the way you write hobie :P)
Hobie Brown x Fem!Reader
âWhatâre youâ oh!â
small thingyyyyy, added a little twist tho C:
â
âHobie?â Your voice rang throughout the empty alleyway behind your apartment, light disappearing behind the building wall your lover was currently â decorating.
âWhâ Oh! [Name], babe, come look aâ this.â
You partner turned to you, currently hanging from a suspended pole connecting one building to another.
Webs wrapped around his ankles to keep him hanging upside-down. Left hand holding a green can of spray paint, and right holding a paint ridden cloth.
His shirt was riding up (down?) due to gravity, the small peak of skin covered in different paint streaks that matched the tones the wall was now bearing.
âwhatâre you doing up there?â
He shook the van again, spraying a little detail onto the mural, then wiping a line through the fresh paint to reveal the colour underneath.
ââM paintinâ, love.â
He turned to you, synthetic eyes wide and emoted.
âCâmere, come try.â
He shook the cloth in a âcome hitherâ motion, paint flecks landing on his shirt. You approached him happily, getting close to his mask-clad face.
âDonâ get too close tâ the fumes now, babe.â You rolled your eyes at his playful tone, turning back towards the art to get your first real look at it.
A low whistle came from behind you, âNice view.â
âShut it, bug.â
âArachnid.â
âWhatever.â
You felt Hobie grab his web, releasing his ankles and dropping down by one arm. His feet hurting the ground with a small scuff.
Taking the first good look at his creation, you noticed how you were the centre of it. A dazzling smile with your features painted in a light youâd never known. Heâd made you feel so beautiful.
The colours behind you complimented the shades of your hair and strokes of abstract making your features evermore admirable.
âJesus, Hobie â this is gorgeous.â
âAll you, babe.â
He crowded up behind you, letting his slender hands carterâs the skin along your waist and stomach. His muffled voice dropped low to your ear. âLike this, doll.â His right hand travelled up your arm, sliding over yours and disconnecting to wipe at the fresh paint.
His left hand stayed put against your abdomen, squeezing unconsciously. He handed you the cloth, watching your fingers wrap around the fabric and bringing his hand back to your upper arm, rubbing along your skin in a soothing matter.
âNow drag it along there, yeah? Right where itâs still wet.â
You snorted at the innuendo. Hobie scoffing at your childish thoughts and softly pinching your skin.
âOh, grow up.â
You refocused, dragging your hand along the shade of purple and blue. Streaking them together and revealing the pink underneath.
âGood, youâre a natural at this point.â
You laughed lightly, turning your head towards his.
âIt was one stroke, Hobes.â
He winked, a devilish smirk rising his smile lines. âAll it takes witâ you, ainât it?â
âOh my god, youâre crude.â
âNah baby, âm honest âs all.â
You brought your hand back towards you looking up at the painting again. "Finishing touches."
You gave him a quick, curious "hmm?", before you felt the cloth leave your hands too fast for you to realise. The "thwip" of his webs alerting you of his methods â right as the sound registered in your head, he had shot another back onto the aforementioned pipe, and reached to swipe at the paint around your hair, melting it into you and making you stand out stark against the cohesive colours. "Looks good, dun' it babe?"
"Uhuh."
He spared you a glance, smiling under his mask at the distracted sound of your voice, when he caught you watching him, and not his painting â he could excuse it.
A thought had breached your head, one that had been popping up ever since you had gone to dimension 1806 with him.
â
"Hobie, I'm not a spider person! I can't leave!"
"But I made you a watch?" "
Yesâ thank you, I love it. But also that's not the point."
"But the watch.."
"Fuck, fine. Whatever. Don't use that tone on me again."
"Say it's for science."
"Fuck science."
â
That day you had found something.. intriguing. A comic. With a rather interesting cover design. Spiderman â not yours â plastered on the front, upside down, with his mask folded up and kissing Mary Jane. It was probably the most romantic thing you'd ever seen. And now you had the chance.
"Baby."
Hobie stopped wiping the excess paint, giving you his full attention. "Yeah doll, what's 'e matter?"
"Can youâ do the thing.. you were doing before?"
He gave you a quizzical look, eyes in his mask squinting. "Painting? I'm almost done, sweethear'. Now I just got'a wipe way theâ,"
"No.. no, the uhh.. Thing."
"Babe, ya' gon' have ta' be a bit more specific."
"Theâ upside down thing."
He snorted. Still hanging from his left hand. "Whâ yeah? I can do it, butâ,"
"Don't question my decisions, Hobes."
"God damn, sweethear', speak t' me like 'at more often."
You laughed just as he did, glee falling from your lips as you shifted closer to him. He twisted his body to raise his legs above himself, wrapping the webs around his ankles once more.
"Now whatâ"
You brought your hands up to his spandex covered cheeks, tracing the lines of his cheekbones under the soft skin of your fingers. Tracing your hands higher, you toyed with the lip of his mask. Exposing the skin of his neck and watching his Adams apple bob out of nerve. "Can I?"
"Whatever you want, Luv."
You rolled the mask just past his nose, hooking it over his bridge, surprising him. He opened his mouth to question why you hadn't taken the whole thing off, before your lips stopped him.
He melted into you, your hands stroking over his cheeks and chin.
It was awkward trying to find your position at first, but you both quickly adapted, his hands finding the belt loops of your jeans and tugging you closer to him. You smiled into the kiss and he followed, laughing about how this was the motive to your request.
Your lips disconnected and he grinned like a fool.
"Tha's why?"
"Oh, shut. It was romantic."
He chuckled again, pulling you in for another kiss.
"Never said otherwise, pretty thing."

àłââ·
Walking into the skating rink with your backpack in hand, holding your skates in hand, today was the day your new coach came in to help you improve your skating skills.
You sat on the bench, put on your skates, tied them up in the process, 'Might as well practice than waiting.'
The scarping of the ice once your skates hit the ice echoed in the skating rink; you were the only person there practicing your skills on the ice; it was owned by one of your childhood friends that granted permission for you to practice.
Skating Ice was fun; it was satisfying to hear your skates cut the layer of ice in the rink, wearing your ordinary sweater and legging as you skated around.
Practicing toe loops to the lutz, your jumps were perfect, landing onto the smooth ice with the crisp sound of ice being cut from your skates, but even with your everything, your rhythm was somehow always lacking some emotion, they say.
The thought of the idea of your dances lacking emotion anger you. "Does it even matter," you puff out. The lights shined on the ice giving it a white glow; the glow was enhancing you.
Wondering to yourself how the smooth ice was to skate on, how something frozen would be beautiful, not like normal icy water was appearing like an unawakened bear in its hibernation.
The scraping sound of ice filled your ears with glee.
As you held yourself in your arms, skating away on the rink, not hearing or being aware of who came into the skating rink, you were too busy with your thought to comprehend.
The door cracked open, with a cold hiss sound echoing the skating arena like opening a freezer.
Footsteps echoed and took your mind out of thought as you looked towards the arena entrances; he was holding in a duffel bag and had their skates in hand.
His luxurious, delicate locks bounced every time he took a step; you gazed in awe, wondering who this man was, especially when you thought this place was closed and wasn't always anyone in.
Your eyes couldn't take your eyes off him. It was something enticing about him; maybe it was about how he came in, how he walked, or perhaps it's his gorgeous hair alluring you.
Until his eyes spotted you and stared at you, you looked away in embarrassment and skated away from the area inaccessible to the benches.
Your face was hot, practically sweating from the encounter even though the whole rink was freezing; ghastly to say, he was reasonably attractive.
After that, you came up with somewhat of a decision. So you skated to the benches where you threw all your stuff on and did a couple of stretches so your body wouldn't cramp up while you were in the lesson.
Waiting for your new coach to come, since your old coach quit out of you because you were 'too hotheaded,' it is not your fault that they rated your triple axel loops wrong.
You did break some of the signs, but you couldn't hold it in; you rubbed your neck and rotated it to loosen your tense muscles and sighed; this coach is taking a long time to come here. Finally, when you close your eyes, he appears in front of you, not even admiring your personal space, "Your L/N, right?" his modulated voice ranged into your ears.
No way this hunk was your coach; your eyes widen in astonishment "âŠY-yeah, are you my new coach?" you should have rethought that answer because it was a stupid question to ask.
"Mhm, I'm Steve, well my full name is Steve Harrington, but you can call me Steve for short," he utters, putting his hand out, signaling for a handshake; you are in a trance by his beauty not even admiring his hand, you just shook your head.
"Not much of a contact person, are you?" he pulled his hand away from you. Not much came out of your word; you just stared at him and crossed your arms.
"Well, shall we start on the ice?" he insisted, "Okay." you sat up from the benches and entered the ice sink with your coach, "Show me one of your routines, so you will know what is lacking. In?"
Did he say lacking, not even one second, and you already have a problem with him? You're never lacking; you are simply perfect and flawless in everything you do, especially ice skating.
You skated away from him and got in position, your arms twirled around your body, as your feet followed the rhythm of your arms, it was a bit awkward since there was no music, as your one of legs dismounted from the ice as you turned your body as you took flight, completing a 360 spin and landing on the ice.
As you push yourself back and accelerate your speed on your skates as you turn around, kicking your right leg back, using the weight of your body, turning yourself, landing on the ice with your right leg being held with your right hand, having your left arm out, to balance yourself on ice, completing upright spin.
You felt confident until you looked at him; his face emitted an unimpressed look; oh boy, that took a toll on you.
You lower your leg, propelling yourself around the ice as you spread your arms away from each other as you turn back and propel yourself up, doing a 360 spin and landing on your right leg as you tuck your arms.
Taking the speed, jumping up and spinning into the air, completing a toe loop and having your left leg in the air, bending yourself 70 degrees and turning in the air while your right leg takes the weight of your body, completing a camel spin.
You lower your leg to the ice, decrease your speed on the ice as you finish up your routine, pose on the ice, have a smug grin on your face, sweat dripping off your face, and your heavy breathing echoes in the arena as the sounds of clapping were followed up.
"That's good." he puts his hand back in his pockets, walking towards you; you turn yourself as you were looking face-to-face with him, "But your turns and jumps were lacking," he utters.
A big hit to the ego.
If that comment didn't make you angry, his critiques would. Releasing your anger was something he wanted you to do honestly; you didn't want him to be right about you at all.
He was breathing in and out, changing your state of mind to be calm. Then, dismissing him with a thank you, that smug smile formed on his annoying face angered you more.
"So..should we get started?"
i don't think i will be finishing this one augh đ„ș

"John," Madelyn spoke out, calling him into her office. She was sitting by her desk, filled with Homelander plushies placed on the bookshelves room. Homelander entered the office, his hands folded behind his back, "You called for me?" he said.
"Well, since your packed schedule and my care for you, you would need an assistant, especially with everything you're doing being American superheroes," Madelyn spoke, placing her chin on her prop-up hand.
"I don't need a babysitter, Madelyn." he shut her down immediately at the thought of it.
"Well, John is not a babysitter if you act like it is," she said as she got up from her chair and walked towards the known superhero in her office.
She continue speaking, as Homelander kept his eyes her, not speaking as she started rubbing her hands on his bicep, "...But you know I would never think that you ever need one, but please at least do it for me, ....John" She gave him a reassuring smile.
"..Besides, she's gonna be here soon; it would let me down if you did have a tantrum now.." Madelyn sat back at her desk.
Homelander's eyebrows twitched to the passive remark that Madelyn said, "I do not throw tantrums-"
"Please, John, not right, no-" she was soon cut off by the sound of knocking
"Just in time, you can come in!" she yelled.
The door opened to attractive looking women wearing long sleeved white shirt with a brown tie enveloped on her body, adorned with extended brown pants accentuating her hourglass figure.
"Hello," you greeted Madelyn, as she gave you a smile back then to Homelander. You held your Ipad in your hand.
"Well, Homelander, this will be your new assistant, Y/N L/N; she'll be charged with your scheduling and social media," Madelyn signs off and turned to the agitated blonde man.
"Im so lucky to work with the one and only Homelander" you smiled at him.
It makes it better since I'm being helped by a beaut like yourself" he gave off his signature smile, the one you'll usually see on TV or when he's on camera.
"Since you guys have already met each other, I think Y/N you can go; I just need to talk to Homelander some more," Madelyn said, crossing her legs.
You nodded, before stepping out of the office. Closing the door, "I'm surprised you didn't hire someone. How do I say ugly." Homelander crossed his arms.
"Why would you think that John" Madelyn place her hand on her on her palm.
"Jealously, maybe," He states.
"Why would I ever be jealous of another random woman, John" the blonde had agitation in her voice.
"Sure" John ended the conversation, before walking out of the office, dismissing Madelyn.
John came out of the office to see you outside the office clicking away on your iPad. "Good morning, Homelander!" you piqued out.
"Hey Y/N" He shoots you with his signature smile.
"Oh yea, I was planning to update your account, you know to advertise your movie coming up," you tilted your head, smiling as you pressed the iPad to your chest, slightly pushing chest up.
"That sounds great," He said as his eyes flick between you and your chest.
"I really appreciate that Homelander!" you gave him one of your sweetest smiles; at that moment, Homelander didn't know, but it felt that piece of humanity inside him, his heart. That hurtful pang from inside, especially when you gave him that carefree smile. It felt like he actually felt something, looking at your face.
"Uh..yea," his face felt warm, maybe even hot. The first time he started stuttering over his words.
"Anything wrong?"
"No.."
"If you need me, I'll be in my office" you gave him another smile as you walked as he looked at you walking down the hallway, staring at your ass.
As you walked down the hallway to your office, you were busy on your iPad, planning for your plans on PR work for Homelander's brand. You adjusted your hair into a ponytail, before getting straight to work. You heard an opening door into your office. A familiar redhead came into the office, "Oh, hey Ashley." you said to her while you stared at your screen.
"Hey Y/N... I just want to congrats you on the promotion," she said, sitting down on one of the chairs infront of your desk. "Thanks!" You smiled at her looking up from your computer.
"Oh, I also got you some coffee while I was on the break," she slides it across to you.
"Thanks again, yeah, it's really something I wouldn't have thought that...Madelyn would do that, you know." you scratch the nape of your neck, "I totally get it" Ashley took a sip of her coffee.
"Oh yea, also Ashle-"
'DING' Ashley's ringtone went off, alerting her of some emails and text messages, "Oh Shit, sorry, I can't really talk right now" She got up quickly, "But I'll definitely meet you up at lunch" she said before picking up her calls.
"Alright..." You muttered, hearing the door close, leaving you in complete silence.
You went back to working on a draft of your project, hoping for some success in making Homelander's brand since the Stormfront, Nazi shit happened. It was a coincidence that Madelyn would hire Homelander as an assistant; it was the most challenging time of his fucking career. You knew Madelyn was out to get you, fucking hag.
Unbeknownst to you, someone was watching you through your office.
5 hours later
You were exhausted, your phone alarm went off, it was currently 10:30 pm, you looked outside of the window, it was dark since it was winter.
You turned off your computer and put it in it's case. You wore your coat, as you got ready to leave, wearing your scarf.
Opening the door, turning off the lights, and walking down the hallway to the elevator. You were busy texting Ashley on your phone.
"Ah-" you accidentally bumped into someone, you quickly looked up to see Homelander in front you.
You froze in fear.
"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry," you apologized immediately, feeling your heart pounding against your ribcage.
"It's okay," Homelander said; you couldn't hide your red face away from him. He gave you odd looking smile. You backed away from him, grabbing your dropped items from the floor, fixing yourself up.
"Your going home?" Homelander said, "Yeah" you responded.
"It's been a busy workday, you know" you awkwardly laughed, "Uh..Bye" it was a little awkward after what happened just now; you just ran to the elevator, jamming the buttons down.
Soon as the elevator doors open, you went in. Praying tomorrow will be better and less awkward than today; the last thing you see the door closed is the brief sight of the American flag.
3 months later
You walked into the Vought Tower, holding your bag as you walked to the elevator. Heel clanked down on the marble flooring, flipping your hair back while you waited for the elevator coming down.
Becoming Homelander's assistant was improving, with the respect or maybe pity people give to you. Finally, the elevator door opens as you step inside the elevator. You pressed the elevator panel to the 79th floor, and soon the doors closed as you felt the elevator going up.
You took out your phone, looking at emails and some messages from Ashley and some of your co-workers. Scrolling through it most of it, you really didn't care about that.
'DING' The elevator doors opened up, and you walked down the hallway, walking straight to your office; grabbing your key, to your surprise it was already opened. You further opened it to see Homelander already in your office, sitting in your chair.
"Good morning, Y/N," the supe said, standing up from your chair and walking to you as you closed the door and put your coat onto the coat hanger.
"Good morning Homelander-" you responded to him, as you flipped your hair back.
"If I could ask, how did you enter here? It was locked from the outside-"
"Doesn't matter," Homelander cut you off; he was now standing right in front of you. He put his hands on your shoulder as he smoothed the material out. "You know, Y/N, you are such a good assistant; maybe even better than that... impressive,"
Everything in your body was screaming as he said that. You couldn't help but to looked around your office, "Homelander, I'm grateful for your kind words" You said without trying to sound scared. You took his hand off your shoulders, "But why are you here though, is anything wrong?" You questioned.
He cups your face as your eye looks intensely staring into your eyes, it understatement to say you were scared, you were terrified.
"Y/N...you know," Homelander gives a little chuckle to himself, then turns to look at you.
"You have always been in my mind, every single day, did you know that?," he spoke up. You were afraid, couldn't really move at all, but you couldn't help it but to be aroused by that Supe. It would be a understatement to say that Homelander wasn't attractive.
He brings his mouth to near your ear, whispering close to you, "You're wet," as he backs away from you.
Slipping his finger through your skirt to your panties, his fingers shortly played with your clit, his fingers sinking into your folds, lewd sounds coming from your mouth as you tried to covering your mouth. "You like that, don't you" he whispers into your ear before he makes brief eye contact with you.
"Nn-gah" you whine, bitting your lip.
He starts kissing your neck slowly down to your collarbone, as you felt his beady sky blue eyes on your body. His finger curling up into your pussy, you threw your head back, whining.
You felt dirty that you doing it, inside your office with American's golden boy, especially with being his assistant. You felt heat pooled to your lower abdomen, your face felt hot. Homelander's fingers going in faster into you, as your moans got louder and languid.
"That's right, don't hide your moans" He spoke out to you, as you squeeze your thighs between his arms, moaning out loudly to him. Your orgasm came into you, as you moan out loudly.
Your juices coming down from your legs, making a pool on your floor. Homelander took out his finger, as it was covered with your love juices. Your panting echoing the room, as he forced your fingers into your mouth, as you pressed down your mouth on to his finger, sucking them eagerly. The taste of you coating your whole mouth, you kept eye contact with your e/c eyes with his sky-blue eyes. As Homelander hoisted your waist up quickly slamming you onto your office desk.
He ripped your blouse with your f/c brassiere, and your boobs bounced as he pulled it. You turn your head away from him and bite your finger down, making yourself seductively. Your nipples hardened into the cool air. He started marking your chest. While he took off your skirts and panties. He dragged down his pants, revealing his red throbbing cock, the tip of his cock covered with precum. "Maybe I should make you my bitch, just for me to breed and have my children."
Grabbing your legs and laying them down on the side of his neck, you gripped his forearm tightly as he entered you, adjusting to his size.
As you roll your hips desperately for some friction, "P-lease.." you whispered, biting your lips. You looked utterly pathetic; your tights ripped, your blouse ripped into pieces, and your skirt was ripped, as your panties were probably with Homelander.
"You know, you look really pathetic right now," Homelander asserted to you, "..you should use your words, sweetheart," he cups your cheeks, "Come on, use your words, baby," he wooed.
"..P-please f-fuck me, make me your-" your glassy eyes looked at him, and as you held him before you could even continue, he plunged into you. Your boobs bounce up as he thrusts into you.
Your moans were chopped up as he rapidly rammed into you like a rabid rabbit; as he trusted up, you felt he was kissing up to your cervix. "Aah..N-ngh" whining out.
As you felt your orgasm coming,
"Fuck" he thrusted into faster as you felt some bruising up onto your pelvis; you felt him throbbing inside of you. Your eyes briefly saw white as liquid rushed out of you. Rutting homelander rutted inside you, feeling yourself seeing white. He kept jackhammering into your pussy, feeling bruising on your pelvis.
Your panting and moans are heard outside. "Fuck-"
As he thrust into you a few more times before rutting, feeling his hot liquid filling your womb. Panting can be heard throughout the office
"Not bad," Homelander said through his panting as he tucked his penis inside his boxer and pants, leaving you dripping covered in sweat, cum, bruises, and your ripped clothing. "Maybe, you can be used for something else, like my work bitch, ya definitely that." You didn't say anything, putting yourself up on your elbows to look at him as he was getting dressed.
"Meet at my penthouse at 10" Homelander looked at you as he fixed his pant.
"Wear something sexy, too" he tilted his head at you, giving you one of his charming smiles, making you wetter. You watched him exiting your office.
"Damn it," you slam your head softly onto your desk, covering your face in shame.

w.c. - 1637
Another day at Vought INC, you were sitting in your office writing up a storm in a document. You worked in the PR team for Vought superheroes.
Today was an especially hard day.
First, wake up late because of your alarm clock, then your phone is not even fucking charging.
Then if that wasn't good enough, being late to the train and then walking to work in heels that were 30 mins away. Then coming back to this hellhole for your boss to give you a horrible time at work.
As you were here fucking slaving away on your computer, your thought running around your head, it was hard to come with the concept for that experiment that you call heroes.
Not that you had any aggression with any of the superheroes except with The deep, translucent, and demon you call America's golden boy, Homelander. As you were typing on your computer in your small office, your boss walked up to you, clicking her heels annoying; not like you had an anger issue, but when you saw her, everything in your body rang anger.
"Y/N, your last idea was interesting, needless to say. I don't think that having Queen Maeve and Starlight helping out, survivors of Cyclone Idai, wouldn't be a good pitch. Think, Feminism, think two women showing the world that women can do anything." she slams the paper you worked hard on onto your desk, tapping down on the paper.
"What do you mean?" you responded to her interesting comments.
"What I said, a feminist is the topic" she exaggerate her hands and clasped her hand.
"Sure," your eyes twitched as you picked up the paper she placed on the desk.
As she walked out of your office, she yelled out, "-And make sure it is good this time!" the final comment made you crush the paper in your hand and throw it on the wall.
"What the hell does feminism do with superheroes" you mumbled yourself. Swiping a piece of your hair to the side of your ears, moving closer to the computer, and thinking about some ideas. Needless you say, you were fricking annoyed by the comments your boss said.
Bite at your lip, till it drew some blood. It was getting tiring, trying to live a normal life, was tiring, you thought of your choices when you were 12 between staying in the lab or escaping, but you glad that you are able to escape that hellhole than being monitored for 24 hrs, and ending to be doll being on display.
But ironic that you landed a job at the same brand you escaped. You wanted a breather from being locked up in your small office; besides that, your break was coming in, standing up and stretching your neck and your body. Walking out of your office, going to the elevator.
As you were walking down, getting pushed by two dickhead of Vought employees, they responded by saying to watch where you were walking.
The disrespect you were getting from this company was crazy. While you enter the elevator, pressing the 25th floor, where the company Starbucks was, you need some Caffeine to boost your mood and energy, even though Dunkin Donuts was better than the overpriced coffee store.
Standing the side of the elevator lending to the walls, as you scrolled on your phone while the elevator was going down. the elevator music chiming in.
Your eyes was still laid on your phone, you didn't notice the person that came into the elevator, not taking your eyes on off, until your eyes look at the familiar cape, it was red, white and blue.
Making quick eye contact with the person you dread meeting on top of that, Homelander.
But out of all the elevators in the building, why the heck would he take the elevator taken by lowly Vought employees? Getting off the wall, straightening yourself up.
He walked in with his hand behind his back.
The music chimed in and played through; your body was tense by his immediate presence, and the elevator door closed.
You wished that the elevator would go faster as you stared at the floor indicator with the lowering numbers of the floor going down. You should help it, but your heart was pumping out of your chest.
"So, I heard you got a promotion, Y/N." the comment he said caught you off guard, 'The Fuck' and you just stared at him.
Besides the point, he said that, your promotion was literally 6 months ago.
"Quiet, aren't we?" he looked you in the eye, and you soon pulled away.
"Thank you, Sir," you responded, not bothering to correct him. Now you were begging that time would go faster, biting down on your lip.
The elevator so coming down to the 25th floor, and he soon slapped his arm on the control panel breaking it and catching himself off caught.
Faster than you can even react, he grabbed your neck, pinning you to the elevator wall, leaving you shocked to even react.
An ominous chuckle erupted from him, "You honestly got everyone else fooled, but not me at all, Y/N."
You were scared for your life inside that elevator, there nobody here, and there was no one to hear you scream at all. "W-what, do you mean" you stared at him, your legs were trembling.
"Your not normal at all, you're more than having a lowly lifestyle. You are a god like me" he grabs your face and squishes it.
You help but stare at him; you have a hard time responding to him; even if you tried doing something, your chances of being slayed by him would be high.
"What?" the word slipped out of your mouth, you were wondering how he know, but I guess you can't hide anything from Homelander; if you were to lie, you would probably just die right there.
"Don't fuck with me, Y/N." he barked at you, his hand breaking inside the elevator wall. Your eyes felt wet, and tears were escaping you. Your lips were trembling.
"Don't fucking turn soft on me now." He yelled at you, "Just admit it, don't lie to me."
"O-okay, I am one" you mumbled, he released his grip on you and pressed the button on the elevator panel, as he stood away from you in his original spot.
You fell down on the floor, breathing heavily, as you put your face in your hand.
The elevator door opened, "Cut that crying crap up; it not working on me at all," he mumbled as he exited the elevator, with his hand behind his back in a military position.
The feeling of getting to Starbucks left your mind; the only thing you could hear in the elevator was music as the elevator closed; you just wanted to get out of this building.
Walking out of the tall building, it was accordingly 8:45 pm when you exited the building. Unfornutaly for you, your day was only getting worse; it started raining on you, soon drenching your body in water.
'Just my day..' you mumbled out
A terrific day for you since it was just sunny outside, and you didn't bother to bring one of your jackets with you, but that's just New York weather. Grabbing your bag and using it as a protection shield for your head, you ran to the train station to catch it from its left.
Entering the station, your body was drenched in water head to toe; as the sound of your soaking wet clothes made a 'plop' sound, you moved to the scanner, swiping your MetroCard into it. The gate opening allows you to enter the waiting area of the train.
The screeching sound of the train came halting at the station. The door opened, allowing the people inside to get out; you grabbed your stuff and entered as you sat down, waiting for your stop.
30 MINUTES LATER
Lucky for you, the rain wasn't as bad when you exited work. You were walking to your apartment complex; your clothes were less drenched than before but still had some moister.
It got way darker than before; you were walking down the street. You live a little far away from the Vought building, and you usually take some shortcuts to make your journey less. As you looked in the alleyway, you dismissed the idea from your mind, the time for using a shortcut was way too risky.
"HEY, LADY!" a masculine voice yelled, ringing in your ears.
"Just my luck," you muttered as you turned to the voice. "Give me all your money," the mysterious man said, holding a pocket knife and wearing all black.
"No," you responded to him.
"Do you want to die right now? Just give me your fucking purse, or I'll stab you in the fucking neck," he yelled, walking towards you.
"Maybe, but do you know what is even better than money" you walked towards the mysterious figure, throwing your bag onto the floor.
"Your life," you made a gun sign with one of your men and pointed towards him "bang" soon, the man's chest, stomach, and abdomen area were blasted off and sprayed on the wall. His head had a confused expression, and as his head landed on the floor, his legs fell down as well. It was a pure, clean cut; his organ was destroyed by the blast, and the red liquid was everywhere on the street.
His blood was sprayed on some of your clothes as you grabbed your bag from the dirty floor and walked away from the massacre of the man's body.
You didn't know it, but someone was following you as he popped out from his invisible trick. Translucent face had a scared expression etched on it as he looked at the gory display on the floor. The mysterious man's blood trickled down the street to the road.
"What the hell" he covered his mouth at the killing. Pulling out his mouth, testing the head of the seven, a message saying, "It 's the real deal."

A few months passed, then years...
âsince your sexual encounter with the gentleman you met at the bar, you had stayed on the low until meeting him, you wouldn't lie to yourself that your heart yearned to see him again, though being a peacekeeper couldn't guarantee if he was still here. Though you went back to your old habits, bringing in men and seducing them to fill your pockets up for sexual favors, you never felt anything inside the relationship. It was just a casual exchange for goods and pleasure.
If they were well fooled by you, they would do more to win your heart like gifting diamonds, jewels, fancy dresses, heels, and expensive, luxurious bags. With a card, always handwritten to you in black pen with a bouquet of flowers, maybe roses, peonies, or tulips. Usually red, or pink, colors that represent 'romance' or 'love'. You manage to catch on to when men would send you these gifts, you enjoyed being showered in lavish things but it would bore you a little,
Due to your interesting status, you manage to sneak into important parties, the fancy ones you like. The ones with champagne and the aged wine were expensive, the big chandeliers with jewels and diamonds hanging from them, and the huge halls with delicate porcelain vases and tiles. You got an invite from one of the fools of men you were messing around with, some known politician in Panem. Walking into the gracious hall, wearing a black cocktail dress, and some diamond jewelry given to you by your several misters, clutching onto your matching black purse.
Small chatter fills up the hall, as you steal a glass of champagne from the waiters passing it around. You still had to walk with the fool you tricked, holding onto his bicep lovingly, fluttering your lashes at him, and laughing at his empty 'witty' comments. "Darling, what is going on right now" You said, pursing your lips together, you knew he would answer your cute antics. "The new president of Panem is here," the man said, you looked at him, fluttering your eyes back at the new information. "Who is here, darling" You pushed your chest on his arm, starting to make him flustered with your inappropriate antics, "Sir Coriolanus Snow" he responded, your eyes widened at the family name, backing up from his arm. The name of the man you lay with years ago, "He's here?" you exclaimed, and he nodded. "Oh my," you stopped, "We will meet him, will we?" you twirled your hair, looking up at him with your doe eyes.
This would be your big chance, your chance at stopping boring yourself around useless men, your life would be filled with riches, a lavish lifestyle, and expensive jewelry. Even being the First Lady of Panem made you feel thrilled and better than fooling around with a stupid man who isn't faithful to their wife. "We will, my beaut," he said, before wrapping his around your waist, it made me feel disgusted. As we sailed across the halls, talking to other politicians and influential people, until we saw the devil himself.
Coriolanus Snow...the now-elected president of Panem. Your eyes sparkled in delight, though the encounter was long ago, he looked well-prim and mannered. He was wearing a red suit, a tucked collared shirt with matching dress pants, and his hair was longer than the peacekeeper's mandatory buzz cut. It looked like he was talking to another group of well-off people, you watched him as he talked to them and finished up their conversation. Before he walked away, it looked into the hall out of the ballroom. It was your chance to talk to him, maybe he'll remember you. Some part inside of you doubted but the other side was hopeful, "Darling, I need to powder up my nose, I'll be gone for a few minutes" You turned towards him, and he nodded. You clutched onto your bag and followed Coriolanus out of the ballroom.
Maybe just maybe he'll remember you, I mean how can he not. Not after a promise he made to you, well maybe a promise, you were too fucked to realize what he said but it was something.
It was awkward following him, would he think of you being a stalker, you weren't, you followed him until an empty hall before he stopped mid-way, "You don't have to follow me around, you know" He spoke, making chills run down your spine. Pushing back a strand of your hair over your ear, "You probably don't remember don't you?" You cocked your head to the side, you watched him as he turned around ever so gracefully on his heels, looking straight at you. Your cheeks flushed, he looked mature, rougher around the edges. His blue eyes iris looking at your e/c ones.
"Pardon?" He asked doubt starting to fill you up, "Not even the promise of you coming back to me, fill you with any ideas?" You cocked your eyebrows, giving him a little smile. Holding your hands together to your stomach, "Y/N?" his eyes widen at the new fact, "In the flesh" you smirked, raising your hands up. "You never were going to come back, weren't you" You faked a sad tone in your voice, flickering your eyes to your hands, walking up to him. He didn't respond, "Never thought a Peacekeeper would be the next President of Panem, " You rambled on, flickering your doe eyes at him, "So, how are you now?" you smiled, "I'm well off now" He responds, he put his hand inside of his pockets. "Well, I'm sorry what happened to your friend, I heard about the hanging" he sniffed, you watched if would tense up at the words, but he didn't at all.
"Well, he was setting up a rebellion against the capitol, so he would be punished for it" He finished, it was harsh for him to say that about a friend, you thought he cherished, it was a man that was from the capitol, never thought someone like that would care about district people at all.
"That was harsh, ain't it?" You pursed your lips, "No, it wasn't harsh enough" He said, his eyes flickering at you. You played with the bracelets on your wrist, "âAnd, you Y/N..." you turned your head at him as your name came out of your lips, "I have done my research on you fully"
"Oh really" you cocked your eyebrows, you were amused at what he was going to say, "Your the capitol's slut, a woman who slept her way through the capitol, with politicians, congressmen, and senators, how many do you trick for gifts and money" There was an odd tension between you it was thick, "Your right, but not as accuracy. I don't sleep my way through, I only trick, I'm not just a whore you know" you pouted and placed your hands on your hips. "So, does it make you think differently of me" You put your hand underneath his chin, surprisingly he didn't curve you or stop your attempt, his eyes looking at yours. Feeling his hands on the sides of your hips. "Not at all" He whispered, before he pulled you into a kiss. His tongue explored your cavern, and you felt yourself getting aroused by the hungry kiss. You knew your plan was bound to work, putting your arms around his neck, withdrawing from his lips. "We shouldn't do here, it would be improper" You looked away, feeling shy in front of him.
"The hall is going to be over soon, so tell your mister or whatever man you brought here to go home alone, you'll be coming with me" You felt his breath against your ear, making you feel sensitive underneath your dress. You felt his hands trailing your waist, "Alright" you flickered your eyes to him, "I will" you tracing the shape of his collar and coat.
The car ride was filled with tension, the car was luxurious though. You enjoy it very much. Feeling butterflies in your stomach, your cheeks flushed. He was already wrapped around your fingers, it was an easy hook and reel. Feeling the car halting at a big manor, your eyes brighten up, "We're here" He stated, the door opening up for you, as you stepped out of the car, and walked with him inside the estate. The estate was beautiful, with blossoms, and freshly trimmed grass and trees around the houses. Stepping onto the perfect cobblestone path with him, you bit your lips at the thought.
The guard in front opened the manor's large doors, as you walked in, clutching your bag to your stomach. "It's a beautiful estate" your eyes darted around the luxurious manor.
"It is" he responded back, before looking at you, his heels trailing back to your front. "Let's go towards the bedroom" Your eyes brightened, as you felt his hands on yours pulling you into his chambers, your heels echoing around the large mansion. The door were closed by him and locked. He pulled you into a kiss, his hands rubbing your waist and your curves hungrily, the kiss making your knees feel weak. His hands trailing the zipper of your dress, you were too busy with his lips on yours to comprehend what was going on. Feeling the cocktails dress dropping and your lingerie being shown to him, as he withdrew. "You weren't going to show that guy, all of that were you?" He muttered, "No" feeling the strap of your bra falling to the side, "Not at all" you smiled, feeling his hands on your body, as he carried you. Your legs around his waist and arms around his neck, as he kissed you further.
He pushes you onto the enormous bed, his hands rubbing on you. His hands trailed down to your panties rubbing your clit harshly, making you mewl, "Corio" you whined, your chest heaving up and down. Finger dipping into you further inside, your velvety walls clenching around his fingers, you grind your hips to his hand, feeling your skin heat up, desperate for a release.
Squirming against him, "Your so desperate, aren't you" he mocked, His fingers plunging in and out of you several times making you feel immense pleasure. "Corio, please I'm close" you whined, feeling your hands gripping onto the sheets. Feeling a wave of pleasure coming down on you, squirting out. Your chest heaving, you looked at him withdrawing, his fingers dripping with your juices. Watching him lapping his tongue at his fingers, making you press your thighs together.
He took off your black panties, slowly. You lifted your legs as he fully took it off. "Take it all off, Y/N" He whispered, his eyes looking at your almost bare body, you clipped out your bra, dropping it to the floor, your breast being displayed to him. "Do you like them, Corio?" you fluttering your eyes at him, propping your chest up. You looked at his awaiting form, and your eyes dragged to his lower abdomen area tightened up in his dress pants. Cocking your head to the side, "I need you, Corio" you purposely slurred your words, "Please" watching him unbuckling his belt, and taking off his boxer before he mounted on top of you, your back on the bed. You spread your pussy lips for him to align himself in you.
Feeling him inserting himself into you, sinking into your clenching walls. Your throat ripped out a wanton string of moans, it felt like his cock got bigger, his cock stretching you out deliciously. His low growl tickled your ear before he started moving, massaging your inner walls. His cock fucking into your cunt, sloppy sounds filling up his chambers, everything feeling hot around you. Your plan was working out, no condoms just raw sex. You just need him to cum into you, and you were guaranteed to get something of Coriolanus. His hands on your hips as he thrust into you, feeling his cock brushing your cervix making you jolt, "Fuck" you cursed, opening your legs further for him, his pelvis slapping yours. His balls swinging onto your lower ass. You squirmed under his touch, his hands touching your chest. Rubbing your nipples, harding against his fingers.
His rough hands groped your chest, biting down on your lips. Your swollen clit, being abused with his hand and your chest. You choked out a sob, his brutal pace making you feel weak, your eyes dropping down. Your tongue lulled out, as he fucked into you, biting marks into your neck, chest, and stomach. Gripping onto your waist harshly, tears pricking on your waterline, his hands dancing from the swollen nubs of your chest to your neck, as he lightly presses, making you tense up holding his arm, your eyes rolling back, his hips rutting into you.
Your panting echoed through the room, his pace didn't stop at your tears going down your cheek, your black mascara bleeding through, your lipstick was smeared. Everything on your body was sensitive, "Corio, pleaseâ" you puff out, before he flipped you over, your face onto the soft pillows, your hips up in the air, the cool air hitting your pussy.
Before he continued to abuse your cunt, his hips fucking into you, his cock touching parts of you, kissing your cervix deeply, making you wail, the sheet already messy. His hair sticking onto his forehead, sweat dripping down from his body, your well-manicured nails grasping the sheet. "I'm close" He groaned, feeling his hands landing on your ass. Making you jolt, several of them onto the plush of your ass. The pain makes you squirm, your cunt dripping. His arms pulling you into a chokehold close to his chest, feeling hot thick liquid filling you up, looking at your flat stomach filling up your cum. Your doe rolling back at the sudden warm feeling that didn't stop. Before he released you, your body bounced on the bed.
Feeling him withdrawing from you, and cum dripping from you. your body trembling, feeling your legs numbing down. Coriolanus body on top of you feeling his soft member on your ass, "Don't even think about it" He whispered, pushing a strand of your hair over your ears, "I know that's what you planned for" He danced his fingers on your collarbones, 'N-no" you managed to stutter out, "Don't lie my dove, isn't that the reason you follow me or had your eyes on me" He trailed on, "I just missed you, Corio" you lied through your teeth, "Don't lie, it doesn't suit you.." he touched your chin.
"Why did you do it?" You mumbled, "How could I stop, it so hard not to imagine you swollen with my baby" He said, "Besidesâ
Thats all your good for"
part one: stop, youâre losing me || part two: in the trees, in the breeze
đđźđŠđŠđđ«đČ_ 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.
đđđ«đ§đąđ§đ đŹ_ 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 donât want to read about mental health, beware!!!!!!

__________________________________________________________________________
It wasnât 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 Grandmaâam, she was a patriotic woman, but that didnât 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 didnât 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.
âCORYO! ITâS ABOUT TO START! HURRY UP!â Tigris shouted from the kitchen. He sighed, only to end up coughing.
âALMOST DONE!â 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 couldnât 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.
âIF YOU ARE NOT HERE IN THE FOLLOWING FIVE MINUTES, IâM COMING TO GET YOU!â 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 grandmotherâs 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 thatâs why Coriolanus was expected to come and see the tv. You were about to perform in the gala.
âWhoâs out now?â He asked, sitting beside Tigris.
Grandmaâam was crocheting something pink and the whole place was cold as the North Pole.
âA girl from District 1.â 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 motherâs dance company so that you would fall easily for him. It wasnât necessary because you liked him as soon as he made you smile and laugh.
âOh Coryo! Sheâs next!â Tigris said, taking his hand while looking nervously at the tv. Seconds later, you appeared, immediately Grandmaâam 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 couldnât wait for you to arrive on his door. Even when he pleaded you not to come, since he didnât want to be a contagious asset for you. You hadnât care, bringing some medicines, chicken broth soup and a lot of mint to help with his congestion the day before.
Thatâs 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 wasnât able to give you presents, only a tiny bouquet of flowers from his grandmaâam. He couldnât 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.
âOh dear⊠She was perfect!â Grandmaâam said happily, with the round of applause on the tv in the background.
âAnd the headpiece survived the whole time!â 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 hadnât 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. Thatâs 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 boyfriendâs 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.
âWeâre almost there, missâ you nod, looking through the window.
âThank you, Trevor.â
âShould I wait or send Roger to pick you up late?â Roger was your fatherâs 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.
âNot sure yet. But you can go home and rest. Itâs Friday and you need to be with your family, Trevorâ he smiled, thinking how sweet you were. He cared a lot for you, almost like another daughter.
âYour mother wonât be happy. She was already irritated that you left the gala so earlyâŠâ
âDonât worry. Iâll figure it outâ 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 manâs arms.
âIf anything, you call me. Alright?â You smile nodding at the man.
âAlright.â 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.
âŠ
The door suddenly is open, and Coriolanus hears your voice calling from the entrance.
âWhereâs everyone?â Tigris volts out from the living room, hurrying to greet you.
âBut of course, we were watching you on the tv. Where else?â You laugh, hugging the young woman.
Then Grandmaâam also joins to greet, saying you are gorgeous on stage.
âAnd whereâs my boy?â 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.
âHow are you feeling?â He seemed to look and feel better. Apparently, the medicines worked.
âA lot betterâŠâ
âI missed you.â He also did. If his health hadnât been compromised, he wouldâve attended the gala with you.
âMe too. But you should have stayed home.â It had been a rough week at the Academy, the rehearsals for the gala, acting as a nurse for your sick boyfriend.
âWe always spend Fridays together, silly.â He doesnât deserve you.
âYou were beautiful today. Although⊠youâre always perfect.â 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.
âI hope you like themâ 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.
âI will never get tired of this. I love them!â 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.
âLook at them. My future president of Panem and his First Lady.â 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.
âLetâs just pray that they graduate for now, Grandmaâam.â She adds grabbing the old porcelain plates they have to serve the food.
And itâs a thunder what startles you, squirming away from your boyfriend. He laughs, holding you closer again after seeing you got scared.
âItâs raining!â Tigris announces from the kitchen.
âGuess youâll have to stay the night.â 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 wasnât the first time you stayed though.
âŠ
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 donât 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.
âDoes it hurt a lot?â He asked.
âNot much. Iâm used to it nowâ you replied without looking at him. Still concentrated on your feet.
âIâm sorry about the water.â You frown, finally turning to see him.
âWhy do you keep apologizing?â He shrugs, slightly irritated.
âBecause I wish I could give you more and I canât.â he didnât mean to sound so harsh, but he does. Your lips form a line, before crawling until you mere kneeling bedside him on the bed.
âI hate to see you doing things you donât 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 canât.â
âCoriolanus⊠Look at me.â 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.
âLife couldâve been so different, I couldâve been in your position, and you in mine.â He closes his eyes, thinking about his terrible luck.
âYou charmed me before I knew everything about you. You know it, right?â He nods, tilting his head just to feel more of your touch. In response, you are again grabbing his cheeks.
âYou have to let me help you now. Thatâs what couples do. They help each other. One day youâll be able to give me anything you want. But for now, I will give you anything just to not see you struggling. Nor your familyâ your forehead is brushing his, and he can only attempt to nod as you speak.
âAnd remember, my love. You already make me happy. Iâm already proud of you.â He doesnât cry, but heâs at the verge of. He just hides his face on your neck. And thereâs a wet spot on your skin, but you donât say anything, you just tighten your embrace of him, smiling as you kiss his hair.
âI love you.â He says and it surprises you. While you know he loves you, you are aware that heâs not used to say it very often.
âI love you too, Coryo.â
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.
âIâm bored.â You said, laying on your side, facing your boyfriend. He dropped his joint of card too, hand landing on your hip, caressing the skin.
âWhat do you want to do?â You notice the way heâs touching you. Itâs slightly inappropriate and it makes you grin.
âYou are already suggesting somethingâ his eyes widened, embarrassment flooding him.
âIâm sorryâ you chuckle, noticing how shy and insecure he could be.
âDonât you want to?â Itâs your next move what almost makes him choke. You move forward, taking a sit on his lap.
âOf course I want to. Just not here.â 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.
âAs long as youâre with me, I donât mind where weâre doing it.â Heâs unsure, but he can feel himself getting hard. Finally, after months of having only the company of his hand, he could claim you. He doesnât love that itâs 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.
âAre you sure?â He asks one last time, feeling a string of saliva connected between your lips and his. Itâs dirty, messy and extremely erotic to be the first time.
âBelieve me, nothing wakes up Tigris and Grandmaâam. Weâre safeâŠâ
âAlright. I trust you, Coryo.â
âGood. Now get on your back and spread those legs for me.â 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.
âGod, I love you.â You say as he makes you believe the rain falling outside were actually stars.
âŠ
âLook at the tragic lovers, already in pose for a war memorial portraitâ. 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.
âCareful, Arachne. One day they might have a portrait in the parliament buildingâ Clemensia says giggling.
âHow? Because Coriolanus would be Panemâs president and y/n as First Lady? Allow me to laughâŠâ 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 naĂŻve. Only Clemensia and Sejanus seemed to be genuine with you.
âWho knows?â 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.
âThere is no prize anymore.â The blonde turns to look at him in confusion. But the ceremony has officially started. He feels you taking his hand in disguise. And itâs 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 canât tell, but he assumes itâs 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.
Itâs 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.
âPut your hand down, Miss y/l/n. Itâs not a mistake the order of the listingâ you hear Dr. Gaul saying firmly. When you turn around, sheâs there, offering a cold yet deep look with her unmatched eye irises.
Slowly, your hand goes down, laying on your lap, slightly shaking.
âYour parents have been generous enough to become official sponsors of the games.â Voices echo across the room, gossiping about the news. Even for you, this was a surprise.
Coriolanus looks at you but doesnât say anything. He just wondered how much this would make your family richer.
âThe 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 strategyâŠâ your face goes pale. But you dare to question it.
âIs this some type of punishment?â Gaul laughs, offering a genuine smile later, her hands together, like she was comfortable on her spot.
âConsider this your admission test. You wonât be fighting for the prize, but this would give you enough honors to automatically join the best branches of the Capitolâs University.â 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 couldnât 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.
âŠ
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.
âWhatâs on your mind, sweets?â You feel the cushions sinking beside you, his palm goes to rub your back, taking you back to reality.
âI donât want the weight of all those upcoming deaths on me. On making it an entertainmentâŠâ 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.
âIt wonât be your fault, y/n. This will prove to everyone in the Capitol how worthy you areâ he tries to soothe you.
âStill. 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 isnât going to make a changeâ he sighed.
âThat little girlâŠâ 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.
âWhat terrifies you so much?â He asks, finally making you look at him in the eye.
âI have a bad feeling, Coryo. Like everything is gonna go down badâ you admit. You couldnât 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.
âNone of that. You are making this Hunger Games unforgettable; Iâm winning the prize. And thatâs it, we will go to university together and make all those things weâve talked about. Thatâs all that matters, y/n. Right?â Itâs inevitable, you know itâs some sort of manipulation.
He does it with good intentions, but you donât like it.
âI 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.â
Before the moment can get uncomfortable, Tigris enters the room. She smiles before standing against the little desk Coriolanus had.
âHow was it? Tell me everythingâ sheâs anxious to know everything, but for sure knows Coriolanus didnât get the prize.
âWeâll give you the details in the table. But for now, Iâm mentoring the tribute from District 12. y/n is in charge of the game's propagandaâ her blonde brows furrow.
âThe girl who singed?â Both of you nod. She sighs, crossing her arms.
âThis isnât what was supposed to happenâŠâ Tigris adds. Again, you let yourself fall against the mattress, covering your face.
âMaking the gamesâ an spectacle. What were they thinking?â 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.
Itâs her hand brushing some hairs away your neck and face. Tigris had always treated you like family. And thatâs 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.
âSounds unfair. A lot of things from the Capitol are wrong.â You nod. When you see them, you are received by the cousins giving you soothing looks.
âI just want this to be overâŠâ
âItâll pass. Everything will go great. Youâre smart and very talented. And weâll help you in everything we canâ you have to give her a little hug.
âAnd Iâll help my boy too. That girl is going to be a problemâ Coriolanus rolls his eyes, thinking the same as you.
âSee? Letâs just be optimistic.â Tigris stands up excitedly, later looking for something on her dress pocket.
âTigris. Iâm making dinner. Do not boil any more cabbageâ you giggle, and Coriolanus has to smile, admitting to himself that just by seeing you happy he felt better.
âNo. You donât have to.â
âPlease. Just let me go for some groceries.â She nods shyly. Then she pulls out some little bag from the pocket.
âFine. But you are taking these from now onâŠâ she throws the bag and dissapears. When you look inside the bag, you take out a box of pills. Immediately your cheeks turn red.
âOh my godâ you hand the box to the boy.
âOhâŠâ theyâre 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 werenât pregnant yet.
âIâll get the groceries from Trevorâ 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, thereâs one you hadnât seen before. Itâs 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 boyfriendâs room without a giant smile.
âŠ
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.
âHere I am with the lovely y/n y/l/n, whoâs 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?â
âNo. To be honest, my directing journey officially starts as soon as the tributes are here. For now, Iâm not doing anything⊠Yet.â Lucky Flickerman laughs.
âWell⊠I believe this is going to be a heated road. Donât you think so? OH-, forget about her opinion, no one cares. THE TRIBUTES ARE HERE!â 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 doesnât 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. Sheâs very pretty, short as you and her dress is very pretty. Thatâs not the problem though. You donât 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.
Itâs just for the views. Itâs just to win that damn prize. Relax⊠You can trust him.
When Lucy Gray starts talking with a girl, Coriolanus spots you. You canât decipher his look, but he knows for sure you arenât 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.
âWhat the hell are you doing here?â He drops the songbirdâs hand, looking seriously taken aback.
âI told you I was meeting my tributeâ Lucy Gray looks intrigued by your sudden appearance. Your moles, orange makeup, heavy golden earrings and perfectly painted lips. Youâre perfect.
âThis is embarrassing. What are my parents going to think? This could get you into trouble, Coriolanusâ he sighs. Takes your hand through the giant cage but you whisk away, looking very angry.
âIâm sorry. This is just⊠too much.â He will talk to you later, he knows youâre head is spinning. Probably the rose and taking the songbirdâs hand wasnât a good idea.
âThis is Lucy GrayâŠâ 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.
âNice to meet you. Iâm sorry this is the way were meetingâ she looks proud, like the fact that you look gorgeous, and she had just been thrown into an animal cage wasnât humbling for her.
âArenât you in charge of making this a good show? Like putting us here like we were some kind of animals?â She must hate the Capitol. And it pisses you off the way sheâs talking to you. A hostile tone in disguise.
âIâm only working for this to get more views and get into Univeristy. Where etiquette and manners are taught with much emphasis. But Iâm not the one doing the rulesâ you respond colder, giving a little hint that Lucy Gray needed to be refined. After that, you proceed to ignore her again.
âI donât know if Iâll be able to get your back with Highbottom if anything happensâ 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.
âIs that your girlfriend?â Lucy Gray asks. Coriolanus turns to see her.
âThatâs my girlfriend.â His confirmation slightly surprised the girl. You seemed very⊠Capitol. Like the perfect match for him.
âSheâs very pretty.â He wants to chuckle, but he only nods. In his mind, he wasnât sure if Lucy gray meant it or if she was just trying to be sarcastic. Either way he doesnât care much.
Youâre perfect.
âŠ
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.
Thereâs a knock on your door and when you turn to see who it is, there is your mother.
âHow did Coriolanus end up with the tributes?â You look away, already feeling ashamed.
âI donât know, mother. He was supposed to meet the tribute at the train station. I donât know how he ended up thereâŠâ
âIt was a⊠messy entrance. But he seemed to have charmed the cameras on his favor. Donât you think so?â 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.
âAs it was expected. How do you think I felt when everyone knew he is my boyfriend? It was embarrassing.â She giggles, stepping inside of your room. Grabbing your perfectly ironed Academy uniform and accommodating the sleeves.
âI didnât like the way he⊠forced that interaction with the girl.â You admit in a quiet tone.
âThey were holding hands. He tucked his rose on her ear.â Your blood boils at the memory, making you groan in discontent.
âYes.â You confirm to her.
âYouâre jealous. And you shouldnât be⊠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. Whoâs capitol to his luck.â You smile. But the uncomfortable omen would have you spinning until the games were over.
âYou canât let any feelings get in the way of your task, my dear.â Says your father appearing at the door. You just stare at him.
âLet 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.â You know thatâs 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.
âYouâre right.â Your dad smiles, only entering the room to leave a kiss on your head. Silently telling you how proud he is of you.
âGood. Now put some makeup and the uniform.â You nod at your mom, replying at her smile but feeling slightly empty on the inside.
âŠ
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 doesnât 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 hadnât been on class for some days. You werenât around to see, but the news made you feel weird. Coriolanus was getting obsessed with the songbird, but that didnât mean he was leaving aside⊠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 hadnât been around to soothe those fears.
âAre you sure youâre okay, y/n?â He asks once for all. You seem to hear him, but before you can answer him. Gaul had made everyone go quiet.
âHas a decision been made, Miss. y/l/n?â You raise your head, looking at the woman and slowly you nod, standing up.
âA decision has been made with the council of the games and the production team. The mentors and their tributes have to make a strategy, itâs 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.â The more you talked, the more the students seemed to hate you. Coriolanus can only think that youâre doing it because of rage, and he isnât unsure if he likes it or not.
Dr. Gaul wants to laugh, believing you had shut everyoneâs 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 donât 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.
âWhat is going on?â He asks, ignoring that both of you are in the middle of a hallway.
âAbout what?â Thereâs a lot to say, but you just canât 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.
âYou can talk to meâŠâ
âI know⊠Itâs justâŠâ he inspects your face, looking at any details to try to understand you.
âJust what, sweets?â
âThereâs too much going on at the same time. Iâm just stressed out. Iâm sorry for being distant, Coryoâ you refuse to admit youâre jealous, that you are following your fatherâs advice, that you are sick of everything.
âItâll be over in three more days or so. Then you know what departs for usâŠâ you nod as he leans to close the distance, your foreheads touching. It was Coriolanus silent way of saying I love you and Iâm here. So you take the moment to treasure it.
âJust one thing, CoryoâŠâ
âYes, dear?â He asks on your lips.
âIf things get tricky⊠Are you going to fight for me if needed?â He smiles, your lips trembling against his chin.
âI would walk the whole territory of Panem just to get you, y/nâ and with that, he kisses you so hard that it makes you remember why you choose him.
And why you would always choose him.
âŠ
Itâs 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 doesnât compare to the waves of chills you had every day.
âAGAIN!â 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.
âMiss y/n?âŠâ your motherâs assistant came to the door of the studio, making you stop and your instructor to pause the music.
âYour mother has informed to me that there was a rebel bombing on the gamesâ arena earlier. The tributes were there with their mentors.â Your heart stops, remembering Coriolanus and his own task of taking the songbird there.
âYour partner, Mr. Snow⊠he was injuredâŠâ
Half an hour later, youâre entering the hospital. The wide room is empty. At the end of the bedâs row, you see Tigris and Sejanus. The young woman being the first to notice you.
âY/N!â 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.
âItâs okay. But⊠How is him?â
âStable. Just his back was compromisedâ Sejanus reveals, making you smile sadly. Coriolanus is sleeping. His forehead looks sweaty, and you can only attempt to brush some of his curls.
âThey said it was a rebel attack. The presidentâs son was heavily injuredâ you sigh.
âFelix?â Sejanus nods at you.
âThis is where I side with the Capitol.â
âExactly. This isnât the solutionâ 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.
âI just hope this doesnât come with long term injuriesâŠâ you finally add. Under the curious look of Tigris, she feels bad for you. Although she offered her help, there wasnât 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.
âIs Lucy Gray fine?â You act like it didnât hurt you. And both Tigris and Sejanus pretend they didnât see your sad face.
âSheâs fine.â
âHow do you feel?â You ask, and Coriolanus finally sees you.
âMy shoulder and back hurtâ 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 heâs too unsure of whatâs 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 itâs turn of District 12. Do not forget that anyone can be a sponsor. Enjoy the show!]
You ignore the looks. You werenât 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 readyâŠ
You try to ignore your head. But itâs like a prolonged free fall. Since the moment of the Reaping Ceremony, you knew it.
That bad omen was something you shouldâve 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 be⊠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 donât have enough control.
Sejanus is the first one to look away.
âOh my god, y/nâ 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.
âIâm just trying to soothe you.â Coriolanus admits in shock after seeing your reaction.
âI can handle it on my ownâ you spit out crying quietly, cleaning the tears with a hand, while the other holds some gazes against the wounded skin.
âWeâll bring a nurseâ 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.
âŠ
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 then⊠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.
âYou are good, Coriolanus. You are a good man. This doesnât make you a monsterâŠâ you had said.
âWhat about the power I felt?âŠâ you knew that was a warning sign.
âIn the Hunger Gamesâ arena anything feels like power, my loveâ 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.
âI would be lost without youâ Coriolanus says, his nose pressed against your chest.
âI help the people I love, Coryo. Thatâs how will always beâŠâ he reminds himself, no more errors. He holds tighter at you, knowing he had already messed up his promise one night ago.
âŠ
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 canât 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.
âYou did it, my loveâ you say in his lips, giggling. He also smiles, taking your hand before going to find Tigris who stayed back.
âYou also did it.â He speaks. Making you realize itâs over.
And for the rest of the day, you are happy. You leave early because of the celebration.
You really didnât want to stay away from Coriolanus. But he was also called away. Tigris stays with you the whole day. She calls Grandmaâam 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 canât wait to see his boy coming home that night. She wishes you good luck and the call is over.
âOkay. Letâs get over with this so we can celebrate with some posca tonight.â You laugh, taking a seat on the vanity.
âCoryo hates posca, Tigris.â She also laughs.
âIf he can pretend to like it for formal events, he can pretend at home for his win and yours.â 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.
âYou look perfect, y/nâ she says smiling, making you turn around to see the pastel tutu and flower corset of the attire.
âI canât breathe but this will make my shoulders look so alignedâŠâ 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.
âI cheated on the gamesâ you frown, hurrying to get to him. He sits on the couch, head between his legs, notifying to you how serious the issue is.
âWhat did you do?â He explains how he cheated. He kept it secret. He didnât tell you.
âIs there a punishment or penalty?â He nods, looking at you now.
âExile. Serve as a peacekeeper for twenty yearsâ you look shocked. Your heart stops and you lean to grab his shoulders.
âIâll go with you. University can wait. Iâll find a job where youâre sent to. And work with my mother at the same time. Weâll send money to Tigris and Grandmaâam and-â
âNo, y/n. I canât let you do this.â You start to feel panicked again. You need to hear a solution.
âSo what? Youâre just leaving like that?â He remains quiet.
âYou said you would fight for me.â 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.
âOh, Coryo. Why did you had to do this?â He sighs frustrated.
âTo win. For my family. For you⊠to give you all I promised.â 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.
âI kissed her.â
You can only hear your heartbeat after that.
You donât 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.
âGet. Out.â You spit out, quietly, yet extremely filled with poison.
Heâs too shocked to say something back.
You are mentally collapsing. Finally feeling betrayed and mocked by him.
âYou wonât get out? I willâŠâ itâs bad when you start hearing a pitch in your ears. You know itâs not a good sign. But youâre so traumatized, that you lean closer to him.
âYouâre a mistake⊠Such a big lie.â 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 wasnât enough?
However, thatâs 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 donât realize you have captured the same effect as Lucy Gray Baird singing. There are people crying. Throwing flowers at you. You donât see it; youâre 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.
âGet a doctor⊠GET A DOCTOR, PLEASE!â 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.
âŠ
âIâm so sorry. This isnât what I wanted. I wished so many things for us.â 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 mustâve been for the pressure of the games and the death of Arachne Crane.
âIâm not a good man. And you deserve someone better than meâŠâ he can now see the purple under your lashes, eye bags and cracked lips.
âBut Iâm coming back for you.â
After memorizing your image sleeping and kissing your forehead, he quietly leaves.
Your mother enters his line of vision.
âCoriolanus. Are you coming tomorrow? Sheâll likely be awakeâ he swallows the rest of his tears and shakes his head.
âUnfortunately. I have peacekeeper duty away from the Capitol, required for me to get into university.â
âOh no. Y/n knows, right?â He nods.
âBut donât worry, Iâll send her letters every weekâ itâs a promise. One he would make no matter what.
His hopes increase by the time heâs able to serve in District 12. Knowing he could give some closure to his situation with Lucy Gray but sickening because heâs 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.

A/N: Hi! I donât really write at all!!
I have been a silent reader on tumblr for years but this idea has been playing in my mind so much I had the urge to write it. I have been down so bad for Miguel been on his tag like 24/7 indulging in all the content creators have been putting out. So Iâm excited to join in giving content, however keep in mind I kinda suck! Apologies for any mistakes, anything confusing, or it not being well written enough. Honestly could have made this into multiple parts with better details but nah. Tried my best ^^ since itâs my first time, any feedback is greatly appreciated!
Honestly tbh we all donât have a solid grasp how the whole canon thing and multi universe works yet so!! A lot of what is written is made up to suit my storyline so please donât get mad about the inaccuracies.
I love a good angst and todayâs story will be EXTRAAA angsty!!! As well kinda long!!
âââââââââââââââââ
The moment that changed your life was while working on an experiment during your college finals. You were a proud and gifted physics major that was so passionate about discovering and exploring what the world didnât know.
You had snuck into Alchemax late at night. You wanted to show your professors just how much you could do with the right tools. Next thing you know, playing with their machines, you had spawned a spider right in-front of you. The glowing vibrant red spider had sunk its jaw into your hand.
Your life did a complete turn and you spent the rest of that week freaking out while changes to your body were happening. Causing you to fail your semester after missing exams. Things felt like it could only get worse when a massive blue suited masked man showed up out of nowhere in your dorm interrogating you.
âWhereâs the spider?â He had a strong grip on your shoulders. You couldnât focus while trying to process why this man had what seemed like claws sticking out of the ends of his fingers.
âI donât know, it like died after it bit me!â You exclaimed nervously at the freakishly strong man. Trying to reach for anything behind you to use as a defense weapon.
âDios mĂo no me digas esoâŠâ He groaned loudly letting you go. Having the opportunity to grab something, you threw a sanrio plushie at him. Only causing him to wave his arms in annoyance. âThat spider is from my earth and somehow you brought it here. Now youâre a spider-man.â
And the rest is historyâŠ
â
You learned that the man was Miguel OâHara and when he found you he was just starting his missions with the multiverse. You being the few of the firsts to join his team.
Your situation was quite bizarre and he called you an anomaly for a long time, spending hours studying you and also training you. You ended up being the one case that canât be explained no matter how much effort was put into monitoring you.
Almost like it was meant to be. Your universe remained perfect with its current spider-man doing fine. No big collapse of a black hole or anything. When you got bit by a spider from Earth-928 your DNA merged with that universe making you fit in perfectly. You were one of the only spider-people with an uncertain timeline with new canons being created depending on what universe you were in.
What changed from you being just a piece of research for Miguel is when he then realized that maybe you were a gift from the multiverse. After all the grief and pain heâd went through the universe had given him this person that worked out perfectly no matter how hard he tried to push them away. You fell head over heels for him and vice versa, all while canon events were being created with both of you together.
You were there as his team grew, slowly turning into a family. Then both of you getting married finalizing that this was your home. Everything felt perfect. Although a relationship with Miguel could have its up and down days, nothing could ever tear you both apart. Or so you assumed.
â
âIâm sorry Y/N.â Miguel couldnât look at you.
âWhen did this start? Please be honest with me. Did I do something wrong?â You begged at him. You knew he was acting off recently but never did you think it would result to this.
You watched as he exhaled deeply staring at the ground. You felt like you couldnât breathe as you studied his face trying to grasp onto any emotion he was showing. The atmosphere in his office felt so cold. You so badly wanted to catch his gaze and find the warmth and love his red irises used to give you. He was doing everything to push you away. He was abandoning you.
âYou did nothing wrong. I met her during a mission 4 months ago.â Was all he replied.
âWho is she?â Your heart kept breaking. His face hardening as the question slipped through your lips. You knew Miguel wouldnât leave you for just anyone. Deep in your heart you knew what this was about. He never responded but he didnât need to when you saw his eyes flicker over to his monitor screens. You followed his trace and saw the photo of Gabriella in the corner.
âDoes she have another version of your daughter?â You tried again. This is what made him look directly at you. Miguel kept opening and closing his month unsure how to tell you the truth. You werenât stupid and he knew that. After everything he couldnât just walk out on you with a lie.
âNo.â He paused thinking of how to finally share the truth without it ruining you. There was no way out of this. âShe is a younger version of herself. There is no Miguel in her universe and sheâs not important to the timeline. She lives a regular life. I-itâs a chance for me to start at the very beginning.â
You felt your heart being ripped out of your chest. You processed the words carefully. She doesnât have a child yet⊠Not only was he leaving you for her but he was going to fall in love with her all over again and start a family with her. A family you wanted so badly to have with him.
âWhat about with what happened last time you tried to live a life in a different universe?â You didnât understand how this was happening.
He was always so carful he would never do anything to cause that again. Everything you had witness Miguel work so hard for to keep safe for years. Sleepless nights, returning bruised and beaten, frustrations and constant stress. Was it all for nothing? Is he throwing all his work away?
âThis is different.â He turned away from you. âI pushed myself then into an already established life. This time I am creating that life. After all the research we did on youâŠâ He knew that this was going to tear you apart. âI learned that if done right I could have a child from two different universes that wonât disrupt anything.â
It clicked to you then that all the research he was doing on you lately was for this. The research he did on you that time was different, personal, intimate even. As he was testing your DNAs together and seeing the outcomes. He mentioned a child and you were foolish enough to assume he was doing research to see what it would be like if you both had one together. You were giddy even as you watched him work. You had both spoken about having a family together in the past but had been too busy with spider activities. You thought it was a sign of him getting more serious about it, knowing how badly he wanted one. You would have never thought he was doing it to see how he could get back his previous child. The one you could never give him.
You had truly believe that Miguel had recovered from his obsession that his grief gave him. He accidentally destroyed a whole universe needing that life back so badly. You had spent late nights watching him re-watch clips over and over of what he had lost. It slowly stopped once your relationship blossomed with him and you thought he was ready to move on and start new. Why would you have never thought that with such a perfect opportunity presented to him that he wouldnât drop everything for it.
âI think itâs best that you leave.â He spoke with a soft tone. As if not looking at you any longer will make the problem go away. You couldnât wrap your mind around how he was just throwing you away like this. As if he wasnât making you dinner, giving soft kisses, whispering I-love-youâs not so long ago.
You felt too choked up to ask anymore questions. Your throat tight and painful as you held back tears from escaping in-front of Miguel. You just nodded and headed straight out the door not being able to handle another second in that room. Your knees and hands were shaky as you speed walked into the nearest bathroom and let it all out.
â
It didnât take long for everyone else to know something had happened. Everyone had gotten used to seeing you and him sitting together at lunch. You would make him cute lunch boxes and everyone would gag a bit while watching the two of you smile together. Some cringing seeing their scary boss being so soft around you. It was a big surprise when Miguel started to eat alone with a bag of take out food and you no where to be seen.
His teams he sent out for missions were all confused when you werenât assigned to anything. Knowing you were one of the best, one of them slipped out a âCall for Y/N!â In the middle of fighting an anomaly too strong for them. Miguel only looked away.
It wasnât until a new woman showed up in Miguelâs office with a grip around his waist. Thatâs when the spider-community realized that this was way worse than they thought.
â
You on the other hand had spilled everything to Hobie when he caught you that day leaving the bathroom with puffy eyes. You had been staying with him in his universe until you could gather yourself together to return to HQ. You knew you were going to leave for good, but you needed to go back to retrieve all your things. You couldnât stay with Hobie forever. Worse that you werenât from there.
You still had some hope that Miguel would come looking for you and tell you that he was all wrong. However almost two months had passed and not a word from him⊠Thatâs when you knew it was time you should return to what you once knew.
Stepping into the portal Hobie followed close behind you. He told the few others who were once close to both you and Miguel that you would be visiting. Stepping through the portal you were immediately greeted by Jessica and Peter B Parker.
âOh, Y/N.â Jess sighed your name sadly while pulling you into a hug. You felt like you wanted to cry all over again. Missing your friends so much. Peter B came behind giving you a hug on the side.
âHeâs on a mission right now.â Peter spoke up. âIt might be a long one too but donât waste anytime just incase.â
You nodded pulling away from them. Looking up around the headquarters building faintly smiling at the past memories you had here. You started heading to different areas gathering all the little things you had left around. Hobie had stitched for you a cute backpack with different scraps of patterned clothes and covered in patches of punk band logos but made with hammer space technology. Making it fun for you to fill endless of your things in the bag.
The last stop was in Miguelâs office. Doubt started to fill your mind; maybe he already threw out all of your stuff. Why would he even keep it after all of this? What no one could warn you of was the other person sitting on his platform.
âHello!â She chirped at you. It felt like the air in your lungs had just been punched out. You knew her too well. From all the photos and videos you had seen peaking over Miguelâs shoulder. However seeing her in person was something you had never expected. You knew it wasnât the original her but it was a copy paste image for sure.
âHi.â Was all you managed to choke out. She was beautiful, stunning. You could see clearly now the similar features she shared in another universe with her daughter. The parts that Miguel didnât have. She kept smiling kindly at you, almost in a graceful way. You started to feel all your insecurities start eating you up from the inside. How could you have ever compared to her.
âWhatâs your name? I donât think Iâve seen you here before.â Getting off Miguelâs platform she walked closer to you. The room started to feel suffocating.
âY/N.â
âWell, itâs nice to meet you! Itâs nice to meet other girls around here.â
Your eyebrows furrowed as you realized she had no reaction to your name. So Miguel never told her about you⊠Or that the fact was he was still even legally married to you.
âMy boyfriend isnât here right now but, if you want, I can tell him you stopped by.â She continued as you stayed silent.
âOh, no itâs okay. I just came in here to get some stuff.â You rushed as you really wanted nothing to do with Miguel at all. You almost worried that he might even get angry knowing you got to speak with her. If he already dislikes you this much you couldnât even imagine how he would feel if you got in the way of this for him.
You started heading over to the familiar drawers around the room. Grabbing your old hoodies and shirts finding your most comfortable of things here. You treated this place as one of your safe spaces as you used to spend so much time here.
âOh I didnât know these were all yours! I was wondering why this was all around. When I came here I wanted to do some spring cleaning but Miguel wouldnât let me touch anything.â She followed besides you. âItâs so mind blowing seeing all this technology. We donât have any of this where I live-â She continue rambling but you started to zone her out. You felt like you were about to have a panic attack any minute. There was one question that kept burning in your mind.
âAre you and Miguel already planning to have a child?â You blurted out. Your eyes widened a bit as you surprised yourself. She let out a loud laugh.
âOh dear no! We have only been together about 6 months. You must be new around here so you must not know much about us.â She chuckled.
In some cruel way you were hoping she would have said yes. You had that twisted hope of maybe Miguel just keeping her to have a kid and ditching her after he gets Gabriella and run back to you. In reality he was playing the long game, he really meant it when we said he was starting over. âHeâs never mentioned kids anyways. Iâm not even sure if heâd like them or do well with them.â
With that statement she made you looked at her appalled. Anyone could see in Miguel how good of a father he could be. Just in the way he takes care of the society he built here. You started to realize that she really has been left in the dark. She doesnât know anything. She probably doesnât even know that sheâs a replacement of another self. You wondered why Miguel was doing this. It felt like he didnât just toy with you but with her as well. A man you came to love for how selfless he was, to realize now everything was for his own personal gain. Suddenly you started to feel bad for her. You couldnât dislike her, she wasnât doing anything wrong and she doesnât even know.
âI got all my stuff. Nice to meet you.â Was all you could say as you zipped up your bag and turned straight around out of there. Not giving any glance back at her, you left to one of the empty training rooms to recollect your overwhelming thoughts. All of the self healing you tried the past month thrown in the garbage.
It wouldnât be too soon that news of you going around the building was returned to Lyla. You had cut out all coms while you were gone so she immediately popped up on your watch when she found out.
âAH-â You jumped as the tiny AI was suddenly in front of your face.
âItâs so wonderful to see you Y/N. Oh my god!âShe started. Then she went on rambling about how she knew everything and had seen everything. How she didnât agree with what was happening and was doing everything she could to convince you to stay. After 5 minutes of her rambling you stopped her to let your emotions out.
âLyla, Lyla Itâs okay. Just stop. Itâs all complicated I know, but this didnât work out. I wished Miguel just cheated on me like all the other fucked up normal men out there. That I walked in on him deep in another random girl. Though painful I could have tried fixing and fighting for us. But instead what I got was him emotionally cheating on me and chase after something he knows I can never give him.â You felt yourself choke up. âI can never ask him to give up what he longs and dreams for just for me to be happy. I lost this battle the moment he laid eyes on her.â
Finding comfort in the AI your husband made. Youâve created a bond with Lyla that Miguel found cute but you knew now this might be the last time youâll be speaking with her.
âYou can give him a family y/n⊠you guys have been married two years now. I know youâve both set the thought aside until the multiverse issues are better but you can fight for him. You have to snap him out of his fantasy. He still thinks about you.â
âLyla you know deep down truly he never just wanted a family. He wanted exactly what he had. What he lost. Which should be impossible but being by his side seeing how insane the multiverse is⊠Good for him for believing in something so hard heâs found himself even a third chance to do it.â
âI hate that youâre being too kind about this situation.â Lyla paced around you.
âI love him so deeply Lyla. You know that very well. Itâs so hard to suddenly hate him. I am angry, but Iâm also emotionally drained I canât do this.â You let out a deep sigh. âIâve watched him long for this family when we just met. For some stupid reason when things worked out for us I thought I would be enough⊠When we got engaged and he would spend some days at home with me not even coming to HQ. I thought he was finally moving on not just from his grief and past but from the weight of his work. I saw a bright future for us.â
âYou can still have a bright future with him! You moving here gave him a new canon event, another chance at life in his timeline. Here in his own universe! Heâs just too obsessed and heâs lost himself in that.â She exclaimed with her hands up.
âOur canon event was our wedding.â Your frowned deepened. âBut the universe didnât say anything else after. It doesnât say our canon event means we are suppose to live happily together forever I guess.â
âIâm just trying my best to be optimistic. I rooted so hard for you and Miguel when you joined the team. I know you can remember the amount of times I would force you both in rooms.â Lyla recalled.
âAnd Iâm grateful for it⊠Even if this didnât work out. I was given precious memories, not just working with you and being on this team but falling in love with Miguel. I know Iâm being all depressed and hopeless but I feel like even if I move on Iâll never be able to replace him and find a relationship like this again. However he threw me away so easily and maybe he never valued me as much as I did to him.â You felt your emotions bubble. âI became who I am here. Iâm going to miss everyone so much.â
âYou can still stay here and work with us.â She edged on.
âI canât just sit around here begging at his feet to return to me or moping around doing missions while watching him with someone else. I want to hate him so badly. I know heâs your boss and youâre basically hardwired to do everything for him and youâre trying your hardest to fix what you think is his right path. But think of me a little more and how miserable itâll be. Iâm the only one hurting here.â
Lyla paused and stared at you with an almost glossy-eyed look. While she worked she could see the inner term-oil Miguel was hiding and the emptiness he was turning to since trying to start new in the other universe. It just wasnât her place to hold this conversation and he was the one who needed to get a grip of himself and really think and talk with you. She canât be the one trying to mend the pieces for both of you together. What Miguel did was so wrong. She knew you were right and she didnât want to see any more damage be caused to you.
âYouâre right. Iâm sorry.â She looked up at you sincerely. âI hate this outcome for you. Not only are you loosing your husband but your home. When was the last time youâve even been in your universe?â
âLike a year ago for a missionâŠâ
âExactly! Even if things are over with Miguel, you have all of us here! I wish you could stay. I understand you leaving, I really do. I know a lot of us will try visiting you but Iâm tied to MiguelâŠâ You started to see how it clicked for her too that itâs most likely you might not see each other for a long time. âEven if a spider-person is visiting you I canât just show up on their watch⊠Itâll go back to him and I know you wouldnât want that. I know Iâm an AI and I canât hold real emotions but I mean it when I say Iâm going to miss you.â
Tears poured down your cheeks as her words hit you. Going back to your universe is going to be a struggle. You have nothing there now. However nothing can compare to the pain of the outcome youâve had with Miguel, and you needed out of here ASAP. Your mental health getting worse the longer you stay. Even the other spiders you have come to love canât bring that spark back right now. You needed genuine time for yourself, even if itâs self destructive, instead of putting on a fake smile everyday here.
âBye, Lyla.â You whispered. She nodded and waved her hand goodbye at you before disappearing. You took your watch off your wrist placing it on a nearby desk. With it you pulled the divorce paperwork out of your pocket neatly sealed and already signed on your half. Opening a portal you took your last glances at the place you spent so many loving memories in.
Tears blurred your vision as you stepped through the portal. Once your legs landed on a rooftop of a building in your dimension, you racked out full sobs falling to your knees.
You were always just the other woman.
âââââââââââââââââ
Thank you so much for reading!! I know it was a longer one ~
would anyone like a part 2? If so anyone want a angsty or happy ending? I think itâll be more in Miguelâs perspective as well!
coriolanus snow loves you⊠but when he learns that heâs being sent back to the capitolâwell, he canât have any loose ends left back in district 12.

IB: @shellxrls
when youâd first laid eyes on private snow at the hob, you never wouldâve thought youâd end the night with your lips wrapped around his cock. no, you were a good girl. you didnât do things like that, and certainly not with strange men in darkened corners. but coriolanus was different. he made your core burn with desire, and your heart skip a beat every time his icy eyes flicked over you.
you spent many evenings with himâfriday nights especiallyâlegs spread, letting him touch you in ways youâd never known before. he liked that you had been a virgin; the thought of corrupting this stupid little district girl and turning her into his whore. you belonged to him now, and heâd have you whenever he pleased. you were nothing more than a hole to fill his desire with.
you were head over heels for himâso when he told you heâd been given a discharge to return to the capitol, heâd thought his pretty little doll would be delighted for him. youâd had fat tears streaming down your cheeks, mascara runningâyouâd worn it just for him, to look prettyâclutching at his arms and begging him to stay.
you couldnât leave district 12, no. you didnât belong in a place like the capitol.
the way you were begging was so pathetic; getting on your knees, weeping, voice strained with frustration. he couldnât believe how heâd done this to a girlâlucy gray was never like this. when heâd left her for you sheâd simply resigned herself to singing not-so-subtle tunes about how much of an asshole he was. well, at least before he killed her.
you were different. you were his little doll. his and his only. thatâs why you had to return to the capitol with himâheâd have packed you into his bag if there had been enough room. it was a shame they didnât allow for pretty whores to travel with the peacekeepers.
âplease, coryo,â you cried out, hands clutching at his trousers. âdonât leave me, i- i love you!â
your attempts at flattery were ridiculous, but in a way he knew that you did love him. he didnât love you, exactly. he loved knowing that he possessed you, that your heart entirely belonged to him. but he could never love a whore from the districtsâespecially not 12 at that.
âis my bunny sad that iâll be going home?â he cooed, clutching your chin with his large hand. you were so small. he could break you if he wanted toâŠ
âmhm. gonna miss you so bad, coryo,â you gazed up at him with wide-eyesâthey looked so innocent as they glistened with the tears of your upset.
âgonna miss your cock, and your tongueâŠâ you sighed wistfully. âgonna miss riding you and having you fuck me full of your cum.â
your lips are turned into a pretty pout, and he wonders then and there whether or not he should get his cock out and shove it past them. make you drink up his seed one last time. or perhaps he could bend you over his bunk and put a baby in youâthen youâd always have something to remember him by.
noâthat would make you a loose end. and he canât have loose ends. you canât know that he shot the mayorâs daughter because she pissed him off too muchâor that his songbird, lucy gray, now lay somewhere at the bottom of the lake by the cabin.
he decides he can spend one last night with his little bunny. just one night. but then heâs clearing up loose ends. youâd never assume what he had been planning, no, youâre far too dumb to understand that. you see the good in everyone; and that made his chest burn with fury. how could you be so fucking innocent?
âbunnyâŠâ his voice trailed off. you nod, awaiting him to tell you something, anythingâdid he love you too?
âiâve got an idea. one last special night, just the two of us, hm? down at that cabin by the lake,â he stroked your cheek. how sweet you looked like this, all red in the face. âiâll give you a night worth remembering. let you sit on my face.â
you gave him an eager smile, and he knew his little bunny was just too stupid to know she was falling into his trap.
â
this was where heâd killed lucy gray, too. that had been a cold, rainy day. just like this one. youâd been so easy to lure into his trap; meeting him by the hanging tree in your prettiest dressâone with tiny pink flowers that came just above the knee. youâd even tucked a flower behind your ear. how sweet.
you couldnât wait to spend your last night with coryo. youâd been singing all day, and practically skipped to meet him with a little bag full of some food and your toothbrush. youâd flung yourself into his arms, not caring about the consequences of being caught with a peacekeeper. heâd be gone by tomorrow morning anyways.
the walk to the cabin had tired you out considerably, and so you clung to coryo like a pathetic little bunny, letting him lead the way. youâd miss clutching his biceps, feeling the taut muscle beneath his shirt, the way his dog tags slapped against your face as he pounded your cunt raw.
he delighted in the way heâd get to have you one last time, tonight. that at some point, the only thing warm in your body would be his cum, leaking out of that tight cunt of yours. even though you were stupid, he did have to admit that your willingness was something he adored. the way he could just fill you up at any time, and in any holeâyou never complained.
heâd corrupted you, watched you bleed as his big cock stretched you out that first time. he loved the way your eyes swelled up with tears and you begged him to stopââit hurts, coryo!â you had clawed your nails into his back. âtoo big!ââbut he didnât stop. he knew you had to learn to take it, and that you did. you had such low self-esteem, you would practically grovel at his feet everytime you so much as made him frown. youâd do anything for him, and that was the way he liked it.
complete control.
the cabin was warmer than the tender breeze outside, and you were so grateful to get in there, shivering in your little dress. coryo had dressed more appropriately, in his day clothes, and he watched as you shivered. god, you were so helpless.
he set his things down, and when you had laid down on the bed to rest your eyes for a while, bundled up in the ratty old blanket, he checked under the floorboards. there it wasâone last gun, wrapped in a green cloth. if you tried to run, heâd use it on you. heâd deliberated over which way to kill you, which way wouldnât damage that pretty little face of yours.
he thought that one simple shot to the chest would do itâit would be instant too. but he wanted to watch the life drain out of you, watch as you whined and begged for him to save you. watch how your brows would furrow and your eyes would grow wide with fear and realisation that you were just another loose end to him. heâd never loved you. heâd loved the control.
but coriolanus had also debated choking you outâmaybe he wouldnât remove his cock from your throat while he fucked it, and pinch the tip of your nose so youâd stop breathing. how pretty youâd look, trying to take his cock and at the same time, fight for your life. heâd shoot his hot load down your dead little throat once youâd stopped breathing. a reminder that you were his, and no one elseâs.
no, he couldnât let you live.
he shut the floorboards when he heard you stirringâyou mustâve fallen asleep. how sweet. in a few hours youâd go to sleep one last timeâbut it would be an eternal slumber. he wanted nothing more than to bring you back to the capitol and make you his little whoreâyou couldnât be his wife; think of the shame and embarrassment that would bring. but you could be at his every beck and call, be there to relieve any tension he had. it was just so unfortunate that he wasnât allowed.
heâd put your body to rest with lucy grayâs, down in the lake to let your pearly white bones be the fishesâ dinner. he couldnât bury you out in the woods; theyâd find you there, one way or another. instead, heâd let them think youâd just disappeared. people disappeared out in the districts all the time. especially stupid little girls. who would care if a pathetic runt who took peacekeeper cock vanished? he doubted you had many friends, and your parents were both dead.
you wouldnât be missed.
it was some time later that you woke, and your stomach grumbled. coriolanus was sitting in the rickety old armchair, carving what looked to be a spear with his pocketknife. you watched his muscular arms move back and forth as he stripped the stick of its bark. something about his strength made your thighs burn.
you got up, bare feet cold against the wooden floorboards, and peered into your bag. youâd made enough food for the evening; you had even splurged and gotten yourself a precious block of cheese. you figured it was only appropriate, what with it being your last night together and all.
he looked up from his makeshift weaponâthough it wasnât all that, reallyâand gave you an award-winning smile. your heart leapt at his sweetness. you couldnât believe he wanted to spend one last night with you.
âyouâre so pretty, bunny,â he remarked, watching as you laid out the food.
there was bread, a few flimsy butter knifesâyouâd not be able to defend yourself with those; besides you were just so weak. youâd even snuck a bottle of wine at the market when the peacekeepers werenât looking. you wanted it to be special, to send him off happy and thinking of you.
your chest twinged with a heavy sadness. you wished you could go with him, follow him to the capitol and maybe, stupidly, marry him. you wanted to be his forever. youâd give him lots of children and theyâd have white-blonde hair and icy blue eyes. youâd make sure he was satisfied every day, and cook and clean and whatever he required of you.
but you were to remain here, in district 12. marry a man covered in coal who worked himself to the bone in the mines. have skinny little babies who starved from the lack of food, struggle tooth and claw just to put dinner on the table every night. your time with coriolanus had been your only taste of luxury, of richness. heâd told you how in the capitol, there were buildings that reached the sky, and that every night people would feast on the finest food from the districts. you were reminded, with your own hunger pangs, the sacrifice that you had to make.
no, youâd never be good enough for him. future president of panem.
âcoryo, come eat,â you said, standing proudly beside your food which youâd laid out neatly on the table.
he obligedâhe was hungry, after all. heâd not eaten since last night. the food looked tolerable too, and the bottle of wine tempted him to be more considerate. just so his little bunny wouldnât be suspicious. he doubted you were clever enough to figure out his intentions anyways.
âi hope you like it,â you remarked meekly, sitting down beside him and beginning to devour the food.
he opened the bottle of wine, and although it was completely uncivilised, he took a large swig. it was terribly sour, not like the good stuff they had in the capitol. he reckoned youâd never even tasted real wine. how pathetic.
âhow lucky did i get, with my little bunny,â he smiled, stroking your head fondly.
âiâm the lucky one,â you said in your saccharine tone. he wanted to roll his eyesâyou were so sickeningly sweet. âyouâve been so good to me, coryo.â
âyeah?â he asked. he liked how much you sought to stroke his ego. it made his cock hard the way you were just so utterly desperate to please him in every manner.
âmhm,â you said, chewing on a piece of bread. the cheese made it taste so delicious; sweet and creamy.
âdoes bunny like the way i always give her whatever she wants? fill her up with my cum just like she asks?â he watched as your cheeks burned red with abashed shame.
âcoryoâŠâ you whined, pressing your thighs together.
he loved the way you were already squirming, just from the mention of being fucked. what a fucking slut. he bet you had soaked through your panties, just waiting from him to bury his cock deep inside you as you whined for him to go harder. heâd show you harder. perhaps heâd wrap his big hands around your tiny, little neck, and squeeze too hard. god, youâd look so pretty with the air sucked out of your lungs, gasping and panting as he filled you up one last time.
âoh bunny, donât tell me youâre wet already?â he cooed, standing up from his chair.
whatever, he didnât really need to eat anyways. he couldnât possibly be hungry when heâd been feeding himself with the own sick ideas in his head. food could waitâheâd need to tend to his little bunny first.
you nodded dumbly, clenching your thighs as the slickness pooled in your panties. you couldnât help it, it was your last night with coryo. you wanted him more than anything else, more than you ever had done before.
âp-please,â you whimpered pathetically.
âdoes bunny want me to fuck her? make her cum?â he laughed, stroking your smooth arm. you were so warm. so full of life.
âmhm, yes,â you moaned, slipping one hand between your thighs to rub at your aching clit.
seeing this, coriolanus yanked your hair, causing you to gasp and sputter. how dare you touch yourself? you were his! his to have and do as he pleased with! you felt a few tears spring to your eyes, and he laughed, seeing how stupid you looked, weeping because he pulled your hair. he wondered how much youâd cry when he squeezed at your airways; watching them constrict between his big hands.
âyou know my rules, bunny,â he clucked his tongue in disapproval. you glanced up at him, his icy eyes singed with coolness.
âiâm sorry, sir,â you replied. that name made his cock stir. he couldnât keep himself from devouring you for much longer.
he dragged you from the chair and shoved you down against the bed. you were giggling and gasping like a little foolâit made his blood boil. you wouldnât be laughing when your heart pumped with its last beat and your legs went still.
âbe a good girl, bunny,â he commanded, trapping one leg between your thighs to stop you from grinding against the mattress.
you watched as he unbuckled his pantsâhe was never one for dawdling, preferring to get straight to the pointâand eyed his bulge hungrily. you wanted to use your mouth on him, feel him stretch your lips out and fuck your throat as you gagged on his length. youâd miss how big he wasâso big that you often ached for days after he fucked you.
he cupped your chin in his hand again, and pressed a kiss to the corner of your jaw. he had no intention of being gentle with you, this final time. you were merely his to use for pleasure. a little fuckdoll to fill up with his cum.
you moaned as he pulled his boxers down and his cock sprang free. you would never get used to the sight of itâthe huge, throbbing thing. you couldnât wait to have him bury it inside of you, feeling it nudge against your most sensitive spots.
âneed you, coryo,â you panted. âneed you in me.â
you pulled your panties off, feeling your own slickness pressing at your inner thighs. coriolanus grabbed the base of his cock with one hand, and pushed you down against the bed with the other. he wanted to take you like this, so he could watch the life drain out of your eyes, one last time.
âgonna fuck you so good, bunny,â he mused, hiking your dress up and sighing at the sight of your wet cunt. he would miss it, he did have to admit. what a shame it wouldnât get wet for him anymore in a few hours. but if he couldnât have you, nobody could.
âmhm,â you gasped as he pressed the tip of his cock at your sopping entrance.
god, you were so pathetic. so wet for him, so fucking desperate for his cock. he knew you probably wouldnât have even let anyone have you, after he left. but he couldnât bear the thought that somebody could take advantage of you, coax you into their bed and let them bury their cock in you. no, your cunt was his only. nobody else could dare touch his bunny.
he groaned as he pushed himself all the way in, feeling your walls stretch around him. you were still so tight, even after all the abuse to your hole with his big cock, the way he stretched you out, you were still tight as the first time heâd had you. you didnât complain as much anymore though, not like you had that first timeâweeping for days after with the dull ache of being fucked.
coriolanus began to thrust, grabbing your hips with firm hands, bucking into you with lusty vigour. your tits bounced in your dress, and you couldnât help but gasp and mewl each time his cock bucked into your tight hole. his cock throbbed, feeling you clench around him, the way you sucked him in with your slick want.
heâd never forget this night. the last time heâd have you. the way you were so utterly perfect.
âtaking me so well,â he grunted, watching as you moaned at the pleasant feeling of his big cock burying itself deep inside you, brushing against your cervix.
âharder,â you gasped, clutching at the sheets. you wanted to know you were his.
coriolanus couldnât resist this, of course. he wrapped your legs around his waist, and plunged himself deeper into you. his balls were slapping against your perineum now, and the cabin filled with the reverberation of skin against skin.
you kept gasping and begging as he drove himself into you. you could feel yourself edging closerâyouâd been so wet the whole way here, you were soaking at the thought of him having you one last time.
it was beginning to piss him off, though, the way you were being so loud. normally, he loved it, your moans letting everybody know how well he was fucking you, branding you as his own with his cum. he wondered what youâd do if he choked you right nowâwould you attempt to run? if you did, heâd get that rifle and shoot you. he couldnât risk having you running about district 12 when somebody else could get their hands on you.
no more loose ends, he reminded himself.
he reached his free hand out, caressing your cheek, and then trailing them down to your neck. you giggled as he wrapped his fingers around your neckâit was so little that his whole hand could fit you inside of it. heâd choked you before, and so you didnât assume anything of it. he pressed lightly, and you let out a sigh, body humming with want.
âgood girl,â he mused, pounding you with his cock at the same time.
you let out a pretty moan, pussy clenching just right around him; he couldnât help but grunt at how pleasant it was. youâd probably still be tight for a few hours after he kills you. maybe heâd fuck you again, but you wouldnât be warm, or wet. just cold. he decided against it. heâd fill you up with his cum just as the life drained out of your eyes.
he pressed harder, and you feel your breath catch in your throat. it hurts, and you glance up at him with a worried look, eyes stretching wide. he doesnât pay heed to this, and merely keeps thrusting, moving your hips closer to his to hit at a new angle.
he saw your breathing go rapid, and your eyes dart about the room in panic. poor bunny. he really didnât want to have to kill you, but you canât be his forever, and how can he accept that? if youâre dead, youâre nobodyâs but his. especially since heâll fuck his cum deep into your stiffening body; youâll have part of him in you forever.
he could hear the sounds of your vocal chords straining as he clasped tighter at your throat. it would be a shame that youâd be left with a rosy imprint of his fingers around your neck, but it made him smile a little, that youâd be branded with his mark until you rotted.
âcoryo!â you whimpered, clawing at his chest.
âshhh, be quiet, bunny. take my cock like a good girl,â he murmured, slamming into you.
it hurtâthe way he was crushing your neck, your tendons beginning to strain around his touch. it felt like there was no air left in the world; you were beginning to grow tired, your breaths haggard.
âp-please,â you felt tears spring to your eyes, and watched as he laughed, a maniacal grin creeping across his lips.
he shook his head, grunting as your walls contracted around his cock. he was so close, but you were being a bitch and taking too long to die. he clamped down on you harder, causing a gasp to escape your lips. you couldnât speakâyour hands were clawing about desperately, legs flailing about.
you were terrifiedâwhat was he doing?! why did he want to hurt you? just minutes ago he was telling you how much he wished you could come back to the capitol with him and be his wife. he wanted to dress you up like a pretty doll and make you grow fat with his children.
âdonât cry, bunny,â he laughed, watching as your legs stilled.
you were so tired. it felt like there was no blood in your legs; they grew stiff and numb. your head spun.
âyouâre all mine bunny, forever,â he smiled as your body grew limp.
you were terrifiedâeyes beginning to lose their shine, lips trembling with fear. you couldnât feel your arms now, or the way he was bucking into you. his thrusts were slower nowâhe was close. watching the life drain out of you made his blood course through his veins with a delicious speed.
you mouthed out a âwhyâ as your body went completely frail. in one last act of betrayal, your cunt gushed around him as he squeezed your neck; airways completely constricted. your lips were beginning to blue now, and he frownedâhe had really liked how plump and red they were as you sucked him off.
coriolanus felt himself finish; cock shooting thick loads into your still-wet cunt. he couldnât help but grunt as he spurted himself into your pretty hole. the way youâd finished just as your heart had stopped beating and your airways had given out. your final breath wasted on cumming. you really were a whore.
he ran his hands over your body, frowning at the ugly ring around your neck. at least he didnât have to deal with your blood. that wouldâve been so fucking messy. having to mop it up, and the way you wouldâve screamed. at least you couldnât scream when his hand was clamped around your neck.
when he pulled out, he watched with sick delight as his cum spilled out of your pussy. the thick, pearly loads trickled down your thighs. your limbs would be pliable and floppy for another two hours, but he couldnât bring himself to fuck you again. that was too far, even for him.
he looked at your face, which was stretched into one of fear. your eyes were still, but wet with the tears. so were your cheeksâthey still retained that innocent rosiness which he so loved.
he wished lucy gray had looked so pretty when heâd killed her. sheâd screamed when his bullet pierced her chest cavity, and sheâd bled all over his jeans as heâd held her. you were so docile, even in death. youâd given him one last thank you when youâd came, and he knew youâd be his forever.
darling, dearest, dead. the words rang clear in his head. heâd read them in an old novel. they were fittingly appropriate for the situation. it was so sad that he had to kill you, but it was a bitter and necessary pill to swallow. he had to return home to the capitol, marry that bitch livia cardew, and set his sights on what mattered most.
you were just a little doll heâd had his fun with on his summer vacationâyou were just a poor district girl. what did you matter? nobody would miss you, and when he became president, nobody would know that heâd watched the life drain out of three pathetic girls.
that would be terrible for his image. he did what needed to be done. his pretty bunny would be his forever, and heâd secure his place in the world.
no more loose ends.
