In all of his years of living, Gale would've never thought he'd be doing this as a hobby.

Quietly, Gale packed his skates and hockey sticks, slowly closing the door to his home before navigating the empty streets of District 2. Considering that Gale moved Districts after the rebellion ended, he had to find something else to do with his time, since hunting with Katniss wasn't really an option anymore. After some trial & error, Gale discovered how much he really liked playing on the ice, specifically, hockey.

Don't get him wrong, it was a big change from what he used to, but Gale didn't mind, mostly due to the fact that it brought him a rush of adrenaline, the same he used to get whenever he went outside of District 12's borders for fun. Currently, Gale was calmly walking towards District 2’s local ice skating ring, a slight pep in his step. Usually, the ring was empty around this time at night, so Gale thought it would be a good idea to use that time to brush up on his skills.

Unbeknownst to him though, someone had gotten there before he did, that much was obvious when Gale arrived to the rink and saw the front door open. This caused him to raise an eyebrow in suspicion, but Gale entered in anyways, brushing it off as someone who forgot to close the door on their way out.

However, upon putting down his stuff, Gale caught sight of someone skating around on the ice, performing tricks that caused his head to spin.

Looks like he’ll have some company for tonight.
