Summary: Finnick 'Finn' Odiar II and Primrose 'Rose' Mellark. Two beings forced together not only because their parents were Victors, but also because it was fated. Finn just had to get Rose to see that.
Rated: T
A/N: Once I finished Mockingjay, this pairing instantly popped inside my head. Finnick's son and Katniss' daughter? IT IS FATED. I DUN CARE WHAT CHU THINK.
Suzanne Collins made Finnick have a son, and Katniss have a daughter for a reason. IT'S LIKE FORESHADOWING. That, or I just tend to overthink things. LOL IT DOESN'T MATTER BECAUSE THIS IS MY STORY.
And yes, I know Finnick's son was born right after the rebellion, while Katniss' first daughter wasn't born until like 15 years after, but you know what? Screw being logical, it's the Fanfiction world!
Not my characters, but my (overall) plotline!
MOOHAHAHAHAHAHA! Okay. I'm done. ^u^
"But mom- I wanted to go visit Uncle Gale this summer!" Primrose 'Rose' Mellark was usually never one to complain. Even at the early age of 5, she was quite mature for her age, albeit a bit snarky and anti-social, but mature nonetheless. She didn't like to be treated like a child, and she was very ingenious when it came to trivial matters.
Although that didn't mean she couldn't act her age at some points in her life, like the matter of going to District Four this summer instead of going to visit her favorite 'Uncle' over in District Two.
Katniss peers down at her rather short, even for a five-year-old, daughter with a lighter shade of her own dark brown hair, and her husbands crystal blue eyes that were firm and full of fire. Her hair, already growing long, was into two pig-tails, just like her's when she was a child.
"Rose, we're going to visit an old friend of mine in Four. We can visit Gale next summer."
Rose frowns and her eyebrows furrow, a habit she picked up from her mother when she was in a state of frustration. "Fine." She finally mutters after a minute. "But why won't you tell me who we're going to visit?"
Katniss just chuckles and continues to cut up the bread Peeta had baked a few hours prior. "Go on and play with Orion,"
Rose's frown falters and her face brightens up considerably, she's always adored her baby brother, much like how Katniss loved Prim. "Okay." She says quietly before rushing off to find the 3-year-old.
Orion Cinna Mellark looks up with his curious Seam gray eyes that were filled with the warmth that his father gave out as he tugs on the yellow sundress of his older sister.
Rose pulls up her blue long-sleeved stripped undershirt against the cool summer breeze near the coastline of District Four glancing down slightly at her younger brother. "Yes Rion?" She hums, using her affectionate pet-name she branded him when he was born 3 years ago and she couldn't very well say his full name yet.
"Where are we?" He asks, his baby voice still on the tip of his tongue. Rose bites her lip as she glances up at her father who was smiling at the two siblings in that warm way of his. "We're in District Four Rion,"
He wrinkles his nose as his stubby legs try to jump up to look at the speeding waters below the boat they were on. "It thmells like thalt." Peeta laughs at his son's inability to completely pronounce the 's' sound, instead replacing it with the 'th' sound, as he ruffles his ashy blonde hair, a tone darker than his own.
Rose nods in agreement as she crawls up onto her fathers lap Orion waddling off to Katniss on the other side of the boat, glancing down onto the water in a daze.
"Where are we going daddy?" Rose huffs, she absolutely hated not knowing anything. "You'll see my little Rosie." Peeta says, kissing her forehead and grinning brightly. "There's someone there you might like to be friends with though."
Rose frowns and crosses her small arms over her chest. She never really was good at making friends. She found it pointless really, at her Children's Class at school, she didn't play with the other kids and make friends with them. She sat off in the corner reading a book that she had stolen from the older kids section in the library.
It was interesting enough, it was about a rebellion and these things called 'the Hunger Games'. She was near the ending, and she was surprised to see her parent's name mentioned plenty of times in it. Rose didn't tell them anything about it though, because they didn't know she stole a book from the library. And the last thing she wanted was to see her father disappointed in her.
"Annie!" Katniss smiles when she spots the beautiful brunette with the District Four green eyes waiting patiently at the docks, her Victor's house just above the hill from it and the beautiful beach sprawled around.
The past Victor notices the boat closing in on the docks, and she smiles brightly at the occupants inside. She waves and stands up from her place on the chair, already shuffling to where the boats usually stop.
It eased to a stop and the first to get off is Katniss, whom Annie hugs tightly and wordlessly. Katniss squeezes her back and lets go, Annie still holding her hands in an affectionate manner.
Annie see's Peeta helping his children off the boat and she glides over to him, hugging him and whispering a small, "Hello."
Rose's eyebrows furrow again, and she clutches onto Orion's hand. This lady was really pretty, she muses to herself. Her long brown hair and her stunning green eyes, she bites her lip and gazes at her in admiration.
"This must be Rosie." Annie coo's when she catches sight of the young girl. "And that must be Orion. Am I correct?"
Peeta nods proudly, "Yes."
Annie bends down to be at almost level with the siblings, and out of complete instinct, Rose grows rigid and clenches Orion's hand tighter. Annie laughs slightly, "Don't worry little Rose." She says, "I won't hurt you. I'm a friend."
Reluctantly, Rose nods back, her pig-tails bobbing. "H-hi."
Annie smiles and gets back up, hugging her purple shawl around her and gesturing towards her Victor's home. "I welcome you to District Four, Mellark family."
"So where's little Finn?" Peeta pipes up, gathering Orion up in his stocky arm. "He's not around?"
Annie laughs quietly and shakes her head. "He like's to wander around, he doesn't stay in one place for very long." Katniss nods and looks towards Rose who was lagging a bit behind as she gazed at all the paintings on the wall in slight amazement.
Annie smiles knowingly at Katniss and calls out to the small girl. "Rose, would you like to wander around a bit? I'm sure you'll see some interesting stuff around the house and the beach."
Rose blinks a couple of times before nodding, the library they had passed by earlier stuck in her head. "Yes please Miss Odiar." She says politely, Annie laughs. "Then please feel free to; and Rose... it's Annie. Please."
They say little children have the simplest personalities. In most cases it's true, but in Rose's case it was completely unnatural.
So when she is nearly ran over by a charging little boy, she doesn't let go of it easily.
Any normal little girl might have cried, but I think we've already concluded that Rose wasn't much normal.
"What was that for?!" She growls as her blue eyes flash dangerously. She looks to the side and see's unruly auburn hair and glaring green eyes similar to that of Annie's. The boy is admittedly cute, but Rose was far from caring.
"What was what for?!" Finnick 'Finn' Odiar the second shoots back, "Why were you just standing there in the middle of the hallway like a big dummy?!"
Rose gasps, the childish remark hitting a blow to her intellectual ego. "I am not a big dummy! Hasn't your mother ever taught you not to run in the house you monkey?!"
Finn gasps this time as the two push themselves up from the ground to glare at each other with as much ferocity as 5-6 years olds could manage.
"Monkey?! I AM NOT A MONKEY!"
"Well you sure act like one!"
"Do NOT!"
"DO TOO!"
"DUMMY!"
"MONKEY!"
"DUMMY!"
"THATS IT!"
Their yelling attracts the adults who were in the dining room just a few rooms down, puzzled looks on their faces, replaced by amusement when they see the two children wrestling harmlessly on the floor.
"Rose!" Katniss scolds, diving in and pulling the girl away from the boy. "Finn..." Annie sighs as she lifts the boy up in exasperation.
"It wasn't my fault mom!" They yell in unison once they landed steadily on their feet.
"He crashed into me-"
"She was standing in the middle of the hall-"
"-called me a DUMMY-"
"-a MONKEY!-"
They glare at each other again, baring their teeth and their fists clench.
"Quit cutting me off monkey!"
"I'M NOT A MONKEY!"
"Quiet!" The two shut their traps out of fear of the Girl on Fire, despite Finn not even knowing who she was yet. "Rose you know better than to start fights like this!" Katniss scolds fiercely, and Rose cowers underneath her cold gray gaze.
"But mom-"
"No buts Rose!"
Annie stares disapprovingly a her son, "And Finn, you know better than to fight with girls. Especially when their younger than you." Finn bows his head in shame.
"Now apologize to each other."
They spin around to face each other, and Rose finally notices their height differences he was about 5 inches taller, and that was only because Rose was short for her age. And Finn finally see's her pretty crystal blue eyes and long brown hair.
"I'm sorry for tackling you." Rose mutters.
"I'm sorry for crashing into you." Finn says blushing.
Katniss nods in satisfaction, and Peeta shakes his head amusedly. Annie laughs and drags them off back into the dining room, leaving the two in the hallway.
Rose speaks first, taking notice of Finn's still bright red face. "Look, I really am sorry." She says, peering up at him with genuine blue eyes. "My name is Primrose Mellark, but you can call me Rose."
Finn bites his lip, a foreign feeling of nervousness bubbling up in his chest in the presence of the pretty girl. "I- I'm Finnick Odiar. The second." He gulps and rubs the back of his neck. "You can call me Finn."
Rose nods, a smile forming on her face. "Okay then Finn. Mind showing me to the library?"
Aww, isn't that just some rainbows and unicorn barf? :3 Should this just be a One-shot or should I continue it? I mean, I meant for it to be a chaptered story but now that I've actually written it I'm not so sure.
Review please! XD
