Only happy when I'm with you [closed]

Who: Finnick Odair and Annie Cresta
What: Hopefully a peaceful meal together
Where: Random Capitol restaurant
When: First night of the Games


Finnick came up from the green room feeling far more drained than he had expected to. Emotionally he had been a wreck worrying about her and how she was doing. Also what others had seen. He was fairly confident with how they had handled their interaction, but he worried if he got too confident he would get sloppy. He couldn't have just left her there with the cheese alone as others stared and made the 'Oh, it's just Annie Cresta again' comments under their breath. Considering they'd all been through the same ordeals, it was never surprising how cold and apathetic some victors could be towards others.

He opened the door to their suite, that was a lot more empty now that the tributes were gone. He walked in and immediately noticed that the TV was on. The Games had quieted down and it was a lot of recaps and evaluating every tribute again. He knew turning it off wasn't an option so he made no effort to. It would just turn back on automatically.

"Annie?" He called out turning his attention from it to something he had been looking forward to for the past two hours. "You ready, sweetheart?"

She makes a small sound, something like a giggle mixed with a sigh as he crawls up to meet her. His kisses taste like wine and pudding and home and love, and everything good in the world. But like something a little sad as well. Desperation. Longing. Sometimes, when he kisses her it feels like he doesn't think he'll ever get to do it again, and it makes the world so... small. Like nothing else in the universe could possibly be more important than that kiss. It's impossible not to give into. To not want to give him the entire universe, if that was what he wanted.

Finnick's never been so complicated as that though. His wants were similar to her own. Each other: safe and happy.

It's more instinct than thought that drives her. She leans into his touch and raises her hands to find him there, solid and warm before her; her arms sliding around his neck. He is only real thing in this world of games and charades and she doesn't care how selfish it makes her; she doesn't ever want to let him go.

"Every way," she tells him. It's surprisingly forward for her to come out of her mouth at all, but Finnick has always been good at making things easier.

The world around her has shrunk so small, it's easy to believe that the universe consists only of this one, single room. The Capitol, the crowds, the Games, all the rest of Panem... it was so far away that it might well not even exist. It was just him and her. Here and now. Her hair a lovely mess against the feather-soft pillows and his hands warm on her skin. And for a rare moment, she closes her eyes not to escape, but to savor. But she doesn't keep them closed long. Why would she, with Finnick so near. So close. So immediate, that the only thing she sees is him.

But isn't that how it always is?

She shifts beneath him, if ever so slightly. He's so close, but he could be closer. Her hands slip from his neck and slide down his torso. The jacket of his suit and the shirt he has buttoned up to his collarbone make finding his skin difficult, but she slips her hands beneath the jacket and wraps her small arms around him, pulling them together.

She hums a happy little noise when he speaks, when he calls her beautiful and kisses her again. "Once, I think," she teases. "And, someday, you will get to," she tells him, and it's a promise she fully intends to keep.

The pillows are too soft, and the sheets too smooth, but she doesn't want to think about it. Can't think about it. But it's easy not to. She hates the Capitol and the games, this training center and even this suite, but Finnick has always been there to see her through it; to keep her safe. He's never failed her. Never let her down. And as he touches her, its so easy to believe that he never will. She only wishes it were in her power to do the same. She doesn't know how to protect him. To make him feel safe. All she knows how to do... is love him. Believe in him. It doesn't seem like a fair enough trade, but if there is one single thing at all in this wretched world that she is good at, it's loving Finnick.

With his jacket gone, it's easier now to reach him. To slide her hands beneath the smooth fabric of his dark shirt and touch his smooth warm skin; her fingers tracing feather-light trails across the expanse of his back, up his spine, across his shoulder blades to map every inch of him.

"I look forward to it," she says through a smile and a murmur, her voice sounding almost sleepy, though she's far from tired. She arches up into him, unafraid to let him know that she wants more. Wants him. She always does. In this way, or however she can have him. Nothing else really matters to her, so long as he's there.

Her fingers trace warm trails across this skin of his back, soft and almost teasing until they slip away entirely. But only for a moment. Though she makes her way to the fabric around his throat instead, and tugs slightly at his collar in search of a button. It comes away easily. And then another. And another, as she searches for more of his skin.

The feel of his skin sliding against hers is perhaps her favourite sensation in the world. Warm and strong and beautiful above her, she blinks up at him with flushed cheeks. Her chest rising and falling a little faster now than normal; the need for air suddenly greater; her heart beat faster; her skin on fire.

Over time, she has come to learn many great and wonderful things about Finnick. Some of those things can make her blush just to think about. But perhaps one of the easiest things to learn about him was that he seemed to be happiest whenever she was happy.

Annie doesn't like to speak. Not unless she has something to say. But Finnick knows how to read her. A catch of breath, a sigh, a quiet hum translate easily into things like yes and please and more.

She lets her head slip back into the pillows, her fingers coming to curl around the sun kissed strands of his hair, trace the lines of muscles in his arms, touch every piece of him that she can reach. Though sometimes, she loses herself. Forgets what she's doing. Gets too caught up in sensations that all she can do is arch up into him and remember to breathe.

She squirms beneath him in anticipation; breath catching, back arching. Annie chews at her own lower lip as she catches his grin, she knows he's teasing her and she doesn't mind. Enjoys it, even. Because this is Finnick after all, and she would let him do anything that he liked. A mix of trust and need and the desire to make him happy, she can't imagine feeling this way about another person. Trusting and loving them so completely that she can allow herself to truly be unafraid, even for just a little while.

They fit together perfectly and move together as though if separated they would be awkward and clumsy; a dance, a rhythm like the waves of the ocean itself. She exhales at the feel of him, the release of a breath she didn't even realize she'd been holding. Her eyes lock on his and... he is the only thing she sees. The only thing she wants to see. Or hear, or taste or feel.

She wants to wrap herself around him, to pull him deep into her; to make sure that he never leaves. It's a raw, powerful and needful thing. And right now, she can't quite be sure where she ends, and he begins. She feels lost. Intoxicated. But the warm pull of the wine in her veins has dulled almost to the point of inconsequence. This is Finnick now. Everywhere. Driving her mad, but in the best possible way.

"And I love you," she echoes, whisper soft.
