*Flashback*

It's December when she knocks on his door for the first time in the history of their friendship.

"I got in," she says softly.

He looks up from where he's sitting on his bed. She's in his doorway, her arms crossed and her eyes staring at the ground.

"That's amazing," he says, but the enthusiasm doesn't end up in his voice.

He leans back and holds his arms out. She curls up against him and rests her head on his chest.

"I don't want to go," she tells him. "It's too far away."

"You've wanted to go there since we were kids," he says. "It's your dad's alma mater. You have to go."

She looks up at him.

"But we'll be hundreds of miles away from each other. I won't be able to see your games."

He smirks. "Well, it's a good thing we're both in the ACC. Maybe we'll play up there and I can sneak you into the guest locker room."

Then he becomes serious again.

"We'll figure it out. We'll Skype. We'll call each other. You're my everything, Katniss. That's not going to change."

She looks into his eyes and nods her head. He feels the familiar tug of his stomach that he knows will now just be a dream with the distance they're about to put themselves through.

"Promise?"

"Always."
