After some time, she realised the reason she was not in her room in her district is that she was on her way back to the Capitol. She felt herself getting sucked into the world of nightmares, like drowning in the ocean. She jumped out of her bed, on her way to get a little fresh air outside her small room.
The brunette girl didn't bother to put something on over her light night robe, wanting coldness to touch her bare body due to the hotness she felt at the moment.
Scarlet unlocked her door only to be face-to-face with Finnick and let out a small yelp, standing right at the door. Within a second, she could feel her face mere inches away from his, feeling hotter with every breath. Her instincts made her bring her right hand up to put on her upper chest, almost forgetting what she was wearing. There was a stupid smirk on Finnick's face, making her grit her teeth with annoyance.
"Announce yourself before you show up."
"I would've preferred, 'Oh, Finnick, I'm sorry for waking you!'" He rolled his eyes, just barging into her room.
"I do not talk like that!" A scoff came, "And I didn't say you could come in," She turned around to see him already twisted in her bedsheets, and she crossed her arms.
Finnick deadpanned, "You can't sleep, I can't sleep, just drop the act and come in."
Scarlet huffed, "I didn't think we'd actually be this doomed, I thought we were safe." Whispering, she took a seat beside him, just like the old times. Except this time, they were on their way to their deaths instead of away.
"There are battles you lose even if you win," Finnick mumbled, "We were all doomed from the start."
A moment of silence engulfed them, the girl getting lost in her own thoughts, "I━I'm glad you came," She said, feeling a rush of blood reaching her cheeks when Finnick's gaze snapped towards her, "I mean Chiara would've yelled at me to just go to sleep."
Finnick chuckled, "Of course, I came, you were screaming as though someone stole your cherries."
That made Scarlet laugh. And Finnick thought it feels good to make her laugh.
"Sugar cubes?"
"You just carry them around in your sweaty pockets?" Asked Scarlet, tone dripping with an attitude, "No, thanks." With her words, he just popped it in his mouth, smiling sarcastically at the girl.
