Jordon had "gladly" been living his life since the games 7 years ago. The truth was he only had money, making the survival fears less in the forefront of his mind. The capitol decided that Jordan was property to be used in ways that benefit their needs. They would use him for "company" to the highest payer. He would be told he had a choice but if he chose to not partake he would be "punished". The capitol slowly would eat as his brain. He wanted to kill Snow for catering to only his needs. He kept needs of the capital above those he could manipulate with violence. He was still alive and that's what matters. He had just turned 22 and had constantly been visiting his current boyfriend Chase Snow, President Snow's grandson. It was a secret because he was not in the mood to be murdered by President Snow. He had achieved the capitals favoritism for his looks along with his new nickname the Heartstopper due to him ripping a man's heart out in the arena. The last year winners Peeta and Katniss were on their victory tour and had made their final stop in the capital. Jordan decided to visit the capital for the party. As they entered the capitol grounds they were flooded with applause. Something Jordan hated about the capital was how they congratulated people for murdering each other but nonetheless he was happy for the two of them. They definitely weren't in love, but they outsmarted the capital and that was respectable.
The party raged on and Jordan had entered the capital building waiting in the ballroom. As they entered everyone wanted to talk to them all wondering what the next trend they would set would be and what's next. They did the same to all the victors but, they were different there were two of them. Since Jordan's games there had been another winner in 7 Johanna Mason winner of the 71st games. She was actual terrifying but nonetheless Jordan loved her. She had won at 17 so on the older side but strategic and smart. She knew how to win the games before being reaped and that helped her win the games. She decided to hide her capabilities until the arena so she could surprise those who think she is weak. Jordan hated the capital. Year after year Jordan had to help innocent children win near impossible hunger games. Along with winners being subject to prostitution, drugs and interviews that if they don't do their families suffer. But due to the new winners he slowly faded out of the public eye, making him less attractive to these capital citizens. Jordan could focus more on his own life with Chase and his family. Something the games took away from him for years. The crowd somewhat parted with the two victors and they seemed confused. Jordan grabbed two cupcakes and went up and handed them each one.
"Hi I'm Jordan, just thought you could use some normal food for once."
"Everything you eat here tastes fake." Katniss said with the solemn tone she had in all her interviews.
"Don't worry you'll get used to it eventually." Jordan replied, "I don't want to say congratulations cause i know how stupid that is but, it's good to see you two back."
"Thanks." Peeta says with a smile on his face. He clearly hated the idea of pleasing the capital.
"I'm from district 7 I won 7 years ago. You can drop the act of joy at being around these people. It gets exhausting."
"So you're like a celebrity here then." It was too loud to hear but he read Peeta's lips enough to make out the words.
"Ehh it rubs off in a few years, and no one will be bigger than you two."
"Any advice you could give us." Katniss asked half smiling.
"Just go with the flow, fade into the background and you might make it out with your sanity, anyways you two should get to dancing it is your party. You must be tired from a year of acting." Jordan said and he turned and walked away. He walked through the golden halls toward a staircase he knew very well. It had velvet steps that were clean almost to a point of discomfort. He walked up the stairs of the capital building near where Chase' room was. The capital guards stopped him when he made it to the second staircase.
"I'm just here to visit." Jordan reasoned.
"You have not been summoned to that level of the house. It is restricted." A big intimidating woman with a gun in her fist said in a monotone voice.
"Armra it's fine, he's with me." A familiar voice said, Blake was relieved to look at the top of the stairs and see Chase. He was dressed in some casual clothes clearly not excited about the party.
