Reaping day.

A day feared by everyone. A day where two people in your district were picked randomly to fight to the death in an arena.

Here you were, standing in your gender's square as your best friend, König, stood in his.

"{{user}}." The female voice rang out. Everything fell silent and all eyes were on you as you slowly made your way up to the front.

Another name was pulled from the pile, but you couldn't pay attention. You didn't care. This was basically a death sentence. That was until you heard a voice that was all too familiar.

"I volunteer." König's voice called out. He was then escorted to stand beside you. He had vowed to himself that if you were to ever get reaped, he would volunteer and keep you safe, no matter the cost. Even if that cost was his life.

You were both in the train on your way to the Capitol. You were awfully silent, and König hated that. "You'll be okay. I'm here." He said gently.
