Chapter 1: Last night before the 74th Hunger games

A/N: A Bechloe AU prompt, where Beca is Peeta, and Chloe is Katniss. Chloe have nightmares and Beca stays with her to help her get over them.

The late night in the training center, in Chloe Everdeen and Beca Mellark's apartment, there was a huge thunderstorm and you couldn't sleep even if you tried. In Chloe's situation there was more than that. In 0:00 she woke up scared to death screaming soundly like everyone else in the training center could hear her:

"No, no, NOO!"-Beca was in the room next door, so she could come to Chloe in a second, like she did, to see what's going on. The brunette entered the room and stopped on the area around the front door.

"Nightmares?"-She questioned the ginger with worried but yet confused face. Chloe nodded fast twice with her eyes wide open without being able to make a move at the moment. "Yeah, I got them too."-Beca replied understanding, turned around and headed to the front door, because she knew how the redhead couldn't stand her much.

"Beca?"-That word coming from Chloe made the small tribute stop right where she were and turn her head around, waiting for the ginger to continue with what is she up to. "Will you stay with me?"-It was surprising for the brunette. She didn't see this coming.

"Yeah, of course."-Beca headed to the redhead hesitantly, layed on the bed next to Chloe, which placed her head on her shoulder and her hand on her stomach. "Always."-After that everything became silent for a moment. Beca and Chloe were staring in the nowhere, each of them trying to think about nothing and calm down. But the ginger couldn't. Her nightmare was still in her head and she thought that it becomes even scary with every second. Although Chloe wasn't one to be afraid of something.

"Beca?"

"Yes?"-The brunette turned her head to the redhead just like before.

"I'm scared."-Trying to not show how feared she was, Chloe kept her face on being just neutral. The brunette didn't know how to answer that for a while. She wanted to help the ginger fight the nightmares, so Chloe could have one good memory with her, if she die tomorrow at the games.

"Yeah, me too."-Beca replied after a second or two then continued thinking of a method to get over nightmares or even fears. "I'll tell you a method I used to use when I have nightmares."

"What is it?"-Chloe asked with zoomed eyes. She was tired after all.

"Start with something that's true."-Beca smirked for a while when she heard herself saying something so pointless.

"What?"

"You know, like your name, where do you live, how old are you..."-The brunette tried to explain.

"Oh, got it."-Chloe interrupted her and started to think of random things that are true, like Beca said. She sighed and started to list: "My name is Chloe Everdeen, I'm from district 12 and I'm 16 years old."

"Keep going but you must say it as fast as you can to make it work."-The brunette smiled at herself.

"Are you making fun of me?"-Chloe asked with serious face when she realized how ridiculous the whole thing sounds.

"No."-Beca bowed her head and laughed lightly. "No, I tried it myself a few times, it really works."-The redhead sighed nervously and continued:

"I have a sister named Primrose and I'm in love with Beca Mellark."-From the start Beca thought that the last thing may be a joke or something, so she laughed lightly and bowed her head as before and said:

"Yeah, that works too."-The redhead waited for Beca to add something else. The brunette noticed that and continued: "So did it work?"

"What was supposed to happen anyway?"

"I don't know, maybe it helps differentiate the real from the unreal."-Beca smiled on herself and became silent. The redhead sighed nervously, bowed head backwards and hugged the brunette harder. "Looks like it didn't work... I'm sorry."

"Don't be."-Was the only thing Chloe replied, after which she started to think about her nightmare again.

"What was your nightmare about?"-Beca changed the subject a bit.

"Well... A lot of stuff actually. The games, Prim, what if we don't win in the games..."-Chloe acquired the neutral face again.

"Oh. Sorry I asked."

"It's okay. Maybe I have such dreams because they are about to become true."

"Don't say that."-Beca started to calm Chloe down: "Nothing of this will happen. I hope you win the games. I don't deserve to and no one cares about me back home. But you... You have a mother, a sister and a boyfriend that loves you... You have the abilities and I don't that much. It will be better for me if I die."-The brunette bowed her head and acquired deep thinking face. Everything became silent for a little while.

"Beca?"-The redhead made Beca turn around to her and wait for her to continue. "Remember the last thing I said when I was saying things that are true?"

"Sure?"-The brunette replied without trying to remember much. Of course she did remembered.

"It was true."-Chloe whispered like what she says must be a huge secret and nobody else around must know. Beca's eyes became wide for a second and she didn't know how to respond to that. But a few seconds after that she smirked on herself and replied:

"Oh, right. Because we have that 'fake romance' thing, right?"

"No, not exactly."-The redhead nod negatively now feeling a bit awkward of the situation. Beca's eyes became wide again and she swallowed nervously.

"Oh. I didn't expect this actually..."-Beca acquired confused face and bowed her head. "But what about your boyfriend? What was his name, Jesse Hawthorne? And then why were you so mean to me since they picked me to be in the games?

"Because I didn't want anyone to think I'm weak and underestimate me. But now, when it's crystal clear that I'll die, it doesn't matter that I told you or not, but you deserve to know. And so much to Jesse, we're not a thing... That much."-The ginger's face became serious and she kept it being that way for a while.

"That won't happen. I won't let them kill you or let you die. I prefer to have me killed instead you being dead."-Beca's face became serious too and her words made Chloe smile briefly and toss the brunette's bangs off her face. "Remember the thing I said on the interview?"

"Yeah?"

"It's also true. I never thought of the 'fake romance' then. It was all coming from my heart."-Beca placed her hand on her heart without changing the serious tone in her sentences. Chloe smiled again but didn't reply anything. She didn't have to. Words were needless. The redhead placed her hand on Beca's cheek and was about to kiss her, but the brunette pulled back.

"What's wrong?"-Chloe asked confused.

"It's not that I don't want to kiss you, I really do, believe me. But I can't. I don't want you to be so much in love with me, so you won't be able to continue your life if I die. I'm forced to cut you. For the best."-Beca was about to start crying but she kept her emotions inside her.

"I can't promise that I'll continue my life like nothing happened and avoid the thought of loosing you if you die, but I promise that I'll try, if that will make you happy."-Chloe was also trying to not cry, instead that her face became serious and neutral at the same time. Beca nodded and didn't pull up her head again. "But there's a problem."-The redhead caught the brunette's attention with that sentence and made her turn around to her. "You won't die. Neither will I. If we two are the last tributes standing I won't kill you even if someone come and force me to, while he rests a gun on my head."-Beca smiled and replied:

"Even if Snow offer me anything precious in the world I will know that my loved one is the most precious thing of all."-Chloe smiled and she kept that smile for a little while. "We'll work it out, Chloe. We'll make Snow let us both win."-The brunette placed her hand on the ginger's. She smirked on herself and replied after a second or two:

"Look how this conversation changed its direction so fast."-Beca laughed lightly while she was staring into Chloe's eyes. Now the redhead wasn't scared. She couldn't remember the last time someone calmed her after a nightmare. Even Prim couldn't calm her although we know that she's the most important person of all in Chloe's life. But this wasn't about love. It was about how the fear of loosing someone you love turned into hope that you may not loose someone else.

"I think you don't feel scared now?"-Beca smiled and got up. She wanted to leave the ginger alone and go to sleep because they both needed to rest until tomorrow, but Chloe didn't let the brunette leave though. Beca turned to her with confused eyes.

"Stay, Bec."-The redhead said with serious tone and it made the brunette lay next to her again immediately.

"Sure, just say how long."-Beca smiled and now just an inch was separating her and Chloe's faces.

"Forever."-The ginger whispered being serious at the beginning, but started to smile after that.

"I'll see what I can do for that."-Beca got even closer and just couldn't stop staring in the redhead's lips.

"I'm really curious what's going on inside your head."

"Oh, it's not important..."-The brunette replied blushing and bowed her head.

"Tell me."-Chloe insisted and her smile became bigger.

"I was thinking what do I want more - kiss you or cuddle with you all night."-Beca chuckled at herself with her head still bowed.

"Please pick the kiss thing!"-The ginger whispered kind of jokingly and the brunette laughed lightly.

"I wish..."-Beca added after the longest period of silence they had for the whole conversation and got up off the bed. She headed to the door and was about to place her hand on the door nob and exit, but Chloe's voice stopped her:

"So you don't feel like crossing those principles?"-The brunette sighed nervously, closed her eyes for a second and replied whispering:

"Fuck it."-She turned around and ran back to Chloe, and she didn't stop until she found her lips being on the ginger's. They both smiled between the kiss and they teeths met, so did their tongues for a moment. Chloe wrapped her hands around Beca's neck and added a few more kisses. After that she placed one of them on her waist and it almost got under Beca's top, but the brunette pulled back. "We can't do it here. Or now."-The small tribute whispered with serious face.

"Why not?"

"Because we'll wake Haymitch up, and we don't want to see him drunk and angry at the same time, do we?"-The brunette added and the two of them laughed. After that, Beca continued: "Plus that it's 01:00 and we both must get a rest if we don't want to get killed tomorrow or later."

"But Beca..."-Chloe tried to change Beca's mind but without success.

"Hey. After these hunger games pass away I'll be all yours and we'll finish what we started. I promise you, okay?"-The brunette placed her hand on the ginger's shoulder and looked at her eyes seriously.

"Okay."-Chloe nodded, using the same tone Beca was using. The small tribute smiled and hugged the redhead briefly.

"Good night."-Beca greeted stand up off the bed.

"It will be."-Chloe replied and it made the brunette stop with her hand on the door nob. She chuckled on herself and exited the room after that.
