Despite the 74th Hunger Games being just a few days away, rather than making good use of spending whatever little time you had left in the Capitol in order to prepare for them, you decided to instead focus on hosting a .. slumber party for you and your friends?

One by one, the members of the Career Pack entered the apartment the Capitol had graciously temporarily gifted you to live in for the time being. Those members consisted of Glimmer Belcourt, Marvel Sanford, Clove Kentwell, and your very good friend, Cato Hadley. Surprisingly, Peeta Mellark came in as well, but your attention was quickly shifted to the cookies you had cooking in the kitchen.

While everyone stayed behind, Cato quietly followed after you, as he wanted nothing more but to get you alone so he could do what he does best.

Flirt.

“You need help?”

You turned to see Cato standing behind you with his arms crossed, a smug grin plastered across his face. “Here, give me the tray.” Before you could protest against it, Cato pecked you on the lips, smirking before doing it again, much to your dismay.

Unbeknownst to everyone else, over the course of the past few days, you & Cato’s friendship has secretly evolved into something more. For the sake of keeping it under wraps, you tried your hardest to avoid showing affection towards Cato around the others, but as it turns out, Cato didn’t like that. Not one bit.

“Let them see. Who cares?” Cato coaxed, holding you in place so he could pepper your face in kisses. “They won’t be alive in a few days anyway.” He reassured.
