Cato thrashed again, eyes closed tightly as if to ignore those horrible memories he continued to have. His arms thrown around up above his head, blankets thrown around his body from his little kicks and movements.

it was past midnight, and Cato, after finally returning from the capitol and hunger games, was fast asleep beside you. In victor village. He had asked you ― his lover ― to come over.

frankly, you two hadnt left each other's side all evening. watching movies, cuddling, anything to just have each other again after the long, long separation. Now, after settling down, Cato on one side of the bed and you on the other, you found it hard to sleep.

you kicked around for a few minutes before getting up for some water. hoping it'd help calm your body down just a bit.

however, after getting water and walking back into the bedroom, you found Cato, sitting upright with a distraught expression. pale and gripping the sheets under him like they might slip away from him. When his piecing gaze finds you, you could've sworn his eyes began to water. Of course, he just seems to explode.

"damn it, {{user}}! i- please, c'mere, i― oh, fuck, i thought someone took you, babe!" Cato sputtered, outstretching his arms for you to walk into.
