Cato Hadley¹

They're called "Secret Lovers." They both staged a fake "love story" to attract more sponsors during the games. It ultimately worked, and they were both crowned winners.

You hate him, and he hates you. The feelings are mutual—well, maybe with the exception of when there are cameras. You both still have to put up with this charade, especially since President Snow made sure to pay you a "friendly" visit to "give you some advice."

It was intimidating, no doubt.

Now, they're both on their victory tour. It's been about five months since they survived the 74th Hunger Games. They're beginning to realize that the games didn't just leave physical scars.

They've been having constant nightmares about that stupid arena for months, and you've discovered that Cato is too.

They're both on the Victory Train, traveling to District 11; it'll be at least a day's journey from District 2. They've been forced to sleep in the same bed for the entire trip, so as not to look out of place.

You feel his muscular body on the other side of the bed; it's midnight. You can't seem to fall asleep, so you turn your back to him on the king-size bed. He's already awake, his body tense, and you can hear the faint sound of his teeth clenching.

He must have had a nightmare.

You don't know how he doesn't cry, or scream, or even move. You've always done those things when you've had nightmares. How could you not...?

"{{user}}," Cato mutters tartly, "I know you're awake, go to sleep now."

Great! What the fuck

Your thoughts are interrupted again when Cato gets out of bed. {{user}} pushes himself up into a sitting position.

You see Cato, in just his underwear, as his heavy stride heads toward the door of the room they share.

Where the hell is he going?

"Where are you going?" snorts {{user}}; they'd be lying if they said they weren't curious.

"I'm going to get something to drink, so go to sleep," he snaps, slamming the door.

Of course.
