summary: you're swimming in a lake with your lover as the thoughts of him leaving plague your mind
cw: fluff+angst
the sun raised high warms the lake as the murky water splashes up your neck, your arms push yourself afloat as you lay on your back
suddenly you squeal as water explodes around you, coriolanus rises from the water as the aftermath of his jumping ripples on you
you swim over, soft chuckles coming from the both of you, wrapping your arms around him you stare into his reflective blue eyes and can't help but remember the reason you both are out here
he watches the change on your face, excitement turning into a solemn one
"I'll come back" he answers though you haven't asked. the pain of him going to 2 still fresh
"how?" now you're left with silence, his face is stern and you can't help but feel like you've ruined possibly the last nice moment you'll have with him
your grip on him loosens as you try and let the water move you away so you wouldn't have to feel his loss
he grabs onto your arm, pulling you back and hugging you. his warmth encapsulating you as you stare at the evergreens and mighty mountains and feel a surge to run up them with your lover, escape panem and the capitol, and live the rest of your days out, together.
your voice cracks, threatening to spill all that you have just thought but as if he reads your mind he answers
"I still have family at the capitol." It's stern and it ruins all your plans, all your fantasies and you feel like a fool who will never love again if he leaves
you want to come up with some elaborate plan that will end with you both together, but as the water slowly splashes on you, you decide to leave things as it is, so you can have this moment with him.
