Keep Swimming ~ Finnick Odair ❥

Chapter 14

                 Finnick was the first to awake. Sadly, they couldn't even have a proper honeymoon.
Finnick shook his wife's bare shoulders, as they were skin to skin.

"Thalia, sweetheart." He whispered.

"Yeah?" She whined in her morning voice.

"We have to get up sand ready. We're shooting propos is the districts, remember?" Thalia groaned.

She pulled the sheets over her head and buried herself into Finnick's side.

"Thalia, don't make me.."

"too bad. 10 more minutes." Thalia said through the sheets.

"Why is everything so difficult with you." Finnick laughed. He got out of bed, and lifted the mattress, causing Thalia to fall to the floor.

"Ughhhh." Thalia groaned.

"Come on, love. It's only for a few days." Thalia rolled her eyes and took a shower. She washed her hair, did the normal hair routine.

She wasn't sure how long it would be since her next wash, so she made sure to wash it extra good.

           She got dressed in her Blue Jay suit Finnick had brought to her from Plutarch's room. She had Finnick fasten the trident on her back, and adjust the straps for the matte navy chest plate.

"Did I ever tell you that you that you are very hot in navy blue?" Finnick said.

"You did. Many times." Thalia laughed.

Thalia fastened the leather bag full of the protective orbs around her waist.

"What's that?" Asked Finnick.

Thalia's stomach dropped.

"Just more knives. In case I run out."

Thalia lied straight through her teeth. It was for Finnick's safety, though. She didn't need any more sacrifices made toward her. Finnick puts his life in unnecessary danger for her all the time, and Thalia would prefer for her husband to remain alive.

        They went to the hovercraft, where they were flown to District 2 . Thalia didn't say much the entire ride, scared for what propo shooting dangers they'd have to encounter. Finnick just held her hand and rested his head on her shoulder, and began dozing off.

I guess someone partied a little too hard after all. Thalia thought, and rolled her eyes.

Thalia eventually rested her head atop of his and shut her eyes, hoping to at least get an hour or so of sleep. She awoke to the hovercraft landing with a sudden jolt, and the two stepped out of the hovercraft.

All around was grey rubble, dust, and bits of what used to be District 2. Thalia looked and Finnick and didn't say anything.
          
       Boggs, waved them over from a nearby tent, and as Thalia got closer, she realized it was their camp. This is where they'd be sleeping for the next week.

"That was a short honeymoon." Katniss said, as she wrapped her arms around Thalia.

"I'm glad you're here." Thalia squeezed her tight.
