Catching Fire (Billdip AU)

Chapter 12

(Dipper pov)

I struggle with my tie before angrily throwing it on the ground. "I hate these stupid things. It's stupid that we have to go out on live television dressed like a fucking poodle."

Bill just sighs as he calmly picks up the tie and puts it back around my neck as his nimble hands perfectly tie it.

"You think that you would have figured out how to do this on your own by now."

"Maybe I just like watching you do it for me."

He smiles slightly as he kisses my forehead. "Then why don't I believe you?"

"Because I'm a sucky liar."

"At least we can agree on that." He straightens out my tie before buttoning up my suit jacket.

For some reason Tad decided that me and Bill should wear the suits that had been picked for our wedding. Mine is just a traditional black and white suit and Bill's is similar except he wears a yellow button up shirt instead of a white one. I don't know why but for some reason my suit feels heavier than it should.

Bill holds his arm out for me. "Shall we get going?"

I hold onto his arm as I try to force a small smile. "Not like there's much of a choice."

He leads me to the elevator and we ride it down. He puts his hand over mine squeezing it gently. "We've got this."

"I know....just tomorrow...."

"We've still got now and tonight."

"But-"

"Look at me, Pinetree." I look up at him as he puts a soft hand on my cheek. "Me and you. We have me and you. That's all we'll ever need until the end of time."

"Okay."

He pecks my lips softly as the elevator doors open and we step into the waiting room outside of the interview room.

Johanna looks at our outfits with slight annoyance.

"Weddinh suits? Seriously?"

"I was told it was done because President Snow insisted."

Her eyes glance at the t.v. screen as the interviews start and I see anger in her eyes as she looks at me again. "Make him fucking pay."

Instead of interviewing people one-by-one they're interviewing tributes from the same district together. I roll my eyes as the two from district 1 kiss ass talking about how great the capital is.

"They can't actually be buying this stuff." I mutter quietly to Bill.

"None of us want to go through the games agaiin. I think everyone is putting in all the efforts to try and get them stopped."

"That's not possible."

".....I have an idea. Just go along with what I say."

"What? What are you-"

"Just trust me."

During Johanna's interview she just angrily cusses everyone out. When each person is done being interviewed they are put in chairs that are seated at the back of the stage.

Finally it's our turn. I put on a fake smile as Bill leads me onto the stage, everyone cheering and clapping loudly.

We take out seat acriss from the interviewer, James Semaj.

"Now, first things first I want to ask about that song you sang during the games last year."

"Oh, that? It's just something my dad used to sing whenever me and my sister had bad dreams."
