I  can't believe this is really happening. Having my name be called during the reaping is bad enough as it, but seriously? Tanner getting reaped too is just the cherry on top of a crap sandwich.

Just last week we were working side by together in the slaughterhouse, and now we are the ones that will be slaughtered. I'm pretty pissed right now, but one look at his face makes all the inner sadness hit me like a ton of bricks.

A little thing to know about me and Tanner is we have been best friends our whole life, and have been dating for a few months. It took quite a while for us to admit how we felt about each other, but we are taking it slow and are as happy as can be. Until now cause we got reaped.

As peacekeepers are leading us to a train that is apparently taking us to the capital, I gently grab Tanners hand. I give it a slight squeeze to try to comfort him, but I don't think he is aware of it. I think he is in shock.

He doesn't react to anything until a peacekeeper rips our hands apart and throw us into a freaking cattle train. "Hey can you try to throwing us harder next time? That would be great." Tanner says before helping me off the ground and leading me to an empty spot to sit. 

Even though we are now sat and he is clearly not in a talking mood, he doesn't let go of my hand. I take this time to look around at the other tributes near me. I can see a strong looking boy with a hat in one corner glaring at me. Next to him is a pretty ginger girl who have waterfalls of tears falling from her sad eyes.

In another corner I can a young blonde boy missing an arm, with a sweet looking little girl holding onto him. After she looks at me and sends me a toothy smile, I return it before staring at the floor.

I can now understand why the redhead is sobbing. We are all kids who are being sent to their deaths for the entertainment of prissy rich bitches. I can feel the tears fill in my eyes and I have to fight myself to keep them in. 

That doesn't work when I feel Tanners strong arm wrap me and pull me closer to him. "It's going to be okay, you'll be okay"  he whispers to me.

"How do you know that? No matter what happens one or both of us will die" I say as I wipe the fallen tears.

He doesn't anything for a second before softly saying "I know it cause we'll be in there together, and I won't let anyone hurt you. Even something were to happen to me, I know you are strong and can handle it"

Even if I do make it he won't be there with me, but I can't say that to him. He is struggling too, and is trying to make me feel better. "Okay" I say while looking at his face. I brush some hair out of his face before kissing his forehead. "You'll be okay too".

He then has a blush spread across his face as he send me a small smile. He is a really beautiful boy. I feel lucky that I got to be the one he holds close to his heart. He then gives me soft kiss  on the lips before going back to holding me protectively in his arms.

Even though all of this sucks I am happy for the time we had together. Even if it was shorter than it should have been. I guess I was kinda lucky to have been reaped with Tanner. Because we were able to spend our last moments together. 

Now we lay here together breathless, but like I said together even in the end.



I hope this was enjoyable, I didn't really know how to make it fluffy without having it be a little melancholic or sad  -V
