Against Our Odds

by ForgetMeNotOrchid

Sebastian and Blaine have been in competition for District 4's favorite for as long as anyone can remember. The one thing they have in common is Kurt Hummel at the center of their world. But in a world like Panem, how can they protect him? HungerGamesfic.

1. Chapter 1

AN: Ok, so basically this is a very short prologue that gets the changes out of the way so that all of you can move towards the actual plot.

TO ADRESS SOME CONCERNS: There will be character death. It will not be Kurt or Seb. But a major character is gonna die. Sorry. This is not a Blaine bashing fic. Promise. Blainers is tipical, puppy like blainers. No changes to that. This fic gets pretty emotional, and I'm also sorry for that. But this is most definitely a Kurtbastian fic. All the way.

Huge shoutout to The-Riddle-Heiress, without whom this would not be written.

Please, all of you, enjoy this fic very much and then leave reviews about how much you like/hate my fic. Review. Please. Now, without further ado!

Against Our Odds- Prologue

District 4 had two different powers that be. The Sea Captain, who lead all of the fisherman, and the Mayor, who lived in the nice big house on the hill and made sure that everyone was happy. The Smythes and the Andersons had been fighting ever since they were both elected into their positions, and that same courtesy was extended to their sons. There was Blaine, a five-year old genius who was sent to Dalton to learn law, to succeed his father as the Mayor. There were talks about moving him to the capitol after he turned eighteen, provided he wasn't in the games. Then, there was a seven year old Sebastian, who was clever in a more practical way, and already helping his father lead out squadrons of men. There were talks about giving him a show in the future, because he was so skilled with his net, and showed promise of being the most attractive boy in District 4, once he started growing up. He was sent to Dalton to learn economics, so he could help his father once he got older.

From the day they first met, they were bitter rivals. They were polar opposites just to be contrary, the way that boys are prone to do. If Blaine decided to be the teacher's pet, then Sebastian made it his mission to be inappropriate as possible. If Sebastian excelled at swimming and other sports, Blaine dropped out, claiming he was focusing on student government. The two boys flat out refused to speak to each other, sensing a greater battle in their future, one that would tear them both apart. So for now they practiced, and waited for the day that their war would really start.

Then the year came of the 55th Hunger Games, of the panic in District 7, the pandemic that spread across the district and made most of the females much too ill to compete, and the Capitol's decision to eradicate the rule of one male and one female, and instead ruling that it was just two children from each district that must compete. That was also the year that there was a small uprising in District 12, resulting in the death of Burt and Elizabeth Darnell, and leaving the conundrum of their six year old son Kurt behind. The original plan had been to hand the boy off to a neighbor, but it seemed that the others in the district surrounded him like moths to a flame, signaling an outlet for further rebellion. The second plan had been to hand the boy off to a Peace Keeper to "dispose" of, but then they had realized that the citizens of the district would discover the death sooner or later. Finally, it was decided that a unique system would take place. He would be moved to a far away district, they would change his last name, and they would have him write letters and send pictures to the people of District 12. Innocent letters, that would of course be screened, but enough to prove that he was still alive and well, and that the Capitol was lenient with its citizens.

And so it was decided that Kurt Hummel would move in with Carole Hudson of District 4, and in exchange the family would be given extra tessarae, and the problem was resolved. Other than the Peace Keepers stopping by every so often to take pictures and pick up his letters, Kurt Hummel was just thought to be a normal boy, who would have to register to be chosen for the games just like everyone else. The Capitol made the decision to send him to Dalton for general education, to further prove to District 12 that they were not monsters.

On his first day, something incredible happened in District 4. Both Blaine Anderson and Sebastian Smythe were sitting at the same lunch table, with Kurt Hummel between them. It seemed that their war had begun.
