A Tale of a Boy and His Flower

Just us

*For mature audiences only* 

The elevator door dinged and stopped at level 4. I assumed Finnick would say goodbye and head to his room, but he didn't. Instead he grabbed my hand and pulled me into his living room and then into his bedroom, closing the door. 

"Finnick." I said looking behind me cautiously. "I don't think I'm allowed-" 

"Who cares about the rules anymore." He said, turning and facing me. "We have less than 48 hours left together." He grabbed my hair and tucked it behind my ear. "I just want to spend my remaining time with the girl I'm in love with." 

"I-" 

"Amaryllis, I've loved you for years." he said, "I don't know if it was your smile, your laugh, your personality, or all of it..but I've fallen pretty damn hard for you. So please, just a few more minutes before we have to go back to just being friends. Because seeing you and not being able to kiss you, is killing me." 

"Finnick.." I said not knowing how to express what I was feeling. He seemed to understand and let me take my time. "I've loved you since the day I met you. And whenever I think life isn't worth living anymore..I just think of you." I looked up and held my hand against his cheek. "Your smile, your laugh, they way you look when you're happy. Every time I seem to fall in love with you all over again." I smiled. "You're the reason I've held on so long." 

I looked into Finnick's eyes. 

"I know that we never got to officially get married, but to me, you are my husband. My other half. The person I love with all my heart." I stroked his cheek with my thumb. 

Slowly and tenderly, his nose came near mine, almost touching. His lips brushed against mine, almost as if teasing me. I couldn't hold back any longer and I smashed my lips against his. We pulled apart for a few seconds only to collide our lips again. As soon as I bit his lower lips a moan escaped his mouth and I swear it was the hottest thing I have ever heard. 

I trailed my hands from his neck down to his chest. I caressed his bare skin. I could feel every muscle as I ran my fingers across his abdomen. Finnick grabbed the back of my head and brought it closer to him, pushing my body into him. 

We had kissed many times before, but never like this. 

Finnick grabbed my legs and pulled me up around him. I wrapped them around his waist. Somewhere in the process of Finnick carrying me to the bed and placing me down, he had taken my dress off. 

"I love you." he whispered against my skin as he trailed kisses up my jaw line. His hands started moving onto my stomach as he began kissing down my neck. I wrapped both my legs around his abdomen bringing his body closer to mine. Close enough to feel his skin against mine. 

I placed my hands on his back bringing him all the way to me.

Finnick brought his lips back to mine. We kissed deeply and passionately, until our lips became raw and swollen.

 I traced his skin until I reached the remaining article of clothing he had on. I hooked my thumbs underneath his underwear, feeling his bare skin below. He pulled back from my lips and hovered over them. 

"Amaryllis." he said in a low voice. His eyes scanned my face until they found my own. "Are you sure?" I nodded. 

He leaned down and kissed me again. He played with my lips before sucking on the bottom of it before slipping his tongue back inside. 

We spent the rest of the night together, until we were so tired that we fell asleep snuggled in each other's warm embrace. 

-------------------------

There was a small knock on the door. 

I blinked my eyes trying to adjust to the small sunlight shining through the window. Finnick's arm was wrapped tight around me, and my head was laying on his bare chest. 

There was another knock on the door but this time louder. 

I groaned and began to stir, forcing myself to sit up. Finnick was still sleeping. I nudged him slightly to get him to wake up. We had training this morning and should get ready for it soon. 

He began to groan and started waking up. I leaned down and gave him a soft kiss. 

"Morning." I said. How I longed to wake up next to him everyday. 

He mumbled something and grabbed my waist pulling me back down on him. I had somehow managed to dress myself in an old shirt of Finnick's. From where...I had no idea. 

"Finnick, we have training this morning." I say as he brings me back into our original sleeping position. 

"I just want to stay here with you." he said, "I don't care about training." 

This time the knock on the door was practically banging. This made Finnick sit up. 

"Amaryllis GreenShire! I swear if you don't get out here right now-!" I heard Zach yelling from the other side. I guess he wasn't too happy I didn't return last night. 

I groaned and got up out of bed. Thankfully the shirt was long enough to cover me completely. I cracked the door open and smiled. 

Zach was not smiling. But at least Mags was. She was always smiling, she was so pure and kind that knowing she wouldn't make it through the games saddened me deeply. 

"Zach," I said, "nice to see you this lovely morning." He glared at me and shoved my training clothes into my hands. 

"You have five minutes to get changed." I opened my mouth to say something. "And don't think you're not in trouble!" 

"I'll be ready soon!" I say ignoring his last comment and closing the door. 

"Well I think that went well." Finnick said. I rolled my eyes. 

"We better get out there before Zach barges in the room." Finnick nodded and stood up. He wasn't wearing anything, so I turned away and began to change myself. I heard Finnick laugh from my actions but I ignored him and focused on changing before Zach actually killed
