Day Six.

The boys wake together as the sun rises and heats the arena quickly. 

"Is that fucking flood still there?" Yuri asks rubbing his eyes. 

"I don't know, you are still on top me" 

"Oh" Yuri scrambles away and looks over the side of the branch. "Oh for fuck sakes! It's still there!" 

"Any lower?" 

"Na" 

"Dang" 

Yuuri folds his sleeping bag away, he's not sure how long the flood will be there for but even though he still has quite a bit of food, it won't last that long with the two of them. 

There is nothing they can do but sit and talk, suddenly Yuri stands up. 

"I might do some tree hopping and see if anything is going on, I'll be back" 

"Are you sure you will be okay? It's pretty high" 

Yuri scoffs "I jumped to this tree when I was exhausted and starving, I think I can handle this. Give me my axe though just in case I run into someone" 

"Okay" Yuuri cautiously hands Yuri his axe. "Be back before dark..." 

Yuri laughs and Yuuri realizes how stupid that sounded. 

"I'm not your son" 

"Yeah sorry" 

The young blond takes a run and jump into a neighboring tree before disappearing from Yuuri's sight. 

Hours pass and Yuuri can't help but worry. 

Don't be stupid! You can't get attached, one or both of us will be dead soon 

Yuuri buries his face in his knees, sometimes a kind heart is a curse. This would be so much easier is he had no feelings and could just go savage. 

BANG.

Yuuri stands up on the branch. 

"Yuri? Yuri!" he yells in panic. 

Oh my god, was it him? Oh no... it's too late, I'm attached. 

Yuuri sits down on the branch, with every passing minute Yuuri convinces himself it was his blond allies cannon. 

He covers his face with his hands and tries desperately not to cry. The branch wobbles very slightly as Yuuri hears a thud. 

"Calm down old man" 

Yuuri lifts his head and sees Yuri alive. 

"Yuri!" Yuuri hugs the boy briefly. "Thank god" 

The younger tribute looked worried too. 

"I thought it was you" the blond admits. 

"You didn't see who it was?" 

"Na" 

"I guess we will find out tonight" 

"Yeah" the blond looks tired, Yuuri digs into his bag and splits an energy bar in two. 

"Here" 

Yuri looks at the bar "Where...?" 

"Sponsors" Yuuri says sheepishly. 

"I told you these Capital people love you" 

Yuuri blushes as Yuri takes the half bar and eats it happily. 

"You don't seem bitter about that" Yuuri mutters and then facepalms "Sorry that was stupid to say" 

Yuri smirks "I'm used to being an unlikable person, I made that perfectly clear in my interview" 

"I didn't see it sorry" 

"Didn't miss much" Yuri scoffs. 

"I hated you so much because you are too damn likeable, I thought you were faking at first" 

"Hated? As in past tense?" Yuuri laughs. 

The blond scoffs again. "Like I said, very likeable. But it's not great in this situation" 

"Yeah, I was thinking that" 

"We should split after the next tribute dies" 

"Agreed" 

The relieved atmosphere turns tense as the sun begins to set. 

"You know, I'm sure the sun is setting way too early" 

"Of course it is, shh, look" he points at the sky and the girl from District eleven appears in the sky. 

"The last girl" Yuuri whispers. 

"Oh yeah" Yuri shrugs. 

The sun disappears and in the few seconds that it takes for Yuuri to unwrap his sleeping bag, both boys are shivering and their teeth are chattering. 

"Fuck it's cold!" 

Yuuri slides in the bag and Yuri slides on top of him and buries his face against the older boy's chest, Yuuri wraps his arms tightly around the small boy who is too tired to come up with his usual snide remark. 

This time Yuuri falls asleep first and his blond companion watches in the little light from the moon, he stares at the older boy he had respected since the first day of training when the boy threw a spear right though a dummy 30 feet away just because J-J annoyed him.
