Love under the war

Cato took out the laptop that he hid underneath his bed. He opened it, turned it on, and began composing a letter, or email rather, to an especially important person in his life.

Dear Glimmer...

I got your last email. I will be honest, that picture you sent me was no doubt sexy as fuck, but Marvel started looking over my shoulder and saw a little more than he should. Thanks to that, I haven't taken the time to look at it and enjoy the detail without the fear of my best friend staring at my practically naked girlfriend.

I miss you a lot, more than I can imagine. I will be honest, your letters are the only thing pushing me through.

And by the way, there's no need to worry, we haven't been taking part in any legitimate battles yet. We mostly train and scout, but Boggs says that a battle might come soon. I'm prepared for it, babe. I don't want you to worry about me dying out here. I'm more worried about YOU getting hurt when you're transported to 13.

Speaking of which, I can't wait to see you when you come down here. I'll be waiting for you, Sparkles. And the second I see you, I'll be the most happiest bastard alive in this district.

Marvel's also pretty excited that you're coming... mainly because you're bringing Clove with you. How is she, by the way? Marvel says that he misses her a lot, but does she miss him?

If you told me, it would really make Marvel's day, or week.

Anyway, I'll write to you later, Sparkles.

I love you.

Stay safe.

-Cato

Cato finished off the message and clicked the 'send' icon. He then closed the laptop and put the thing back in the hiding spot. As he did, Marvel came into the room.

"Writing to Glim again?" the brown haired boy asked as he sat on the bottom bunk.

Cato nodded and got onto the top, "Yep. Just sent it."

"Cool," Marvel said as he put himself into a comfy position. "Did you send her a sexy picture back?" he smirked.

Cato swung his leg down from the top bunk and gave Marvel a good kick to the face.

CLONK!

"Shut the fuck up," he informed rather firmly.

Marvel laughed despite bleeding heavily. "I'm just joshin' ya, Catey! Didn't know it was your time of the month."

Another kick was directed down towards Marvel, but he dodged it this time.

"Ha!" he exclaimed. "Missed me, Motherfucker!"

Marvel's joy was cut off when Cato lugged a boot in the poor boy's face.

WHAMMY!

"FUCK!" Marvel screamed. "I'll shut up now."

Cato nodded and relaxed in his bunk, "Good."

Marvel started to wipe some blood from his face. The stuff was warm, wet, and gooey. And not the sexy 'Warm, wet, and gooey.'

"You really love her, don't you, Cato?" Marvel stated.

Cato nodded even though Marvel couldn't see him. "No fucking shit, man. Of course, I love her." He leans over the bunks and looks at Marvel upside down. "I mean, why else would I have this with me?" He reached into his pocket and pulled out a small ring box. He opened it to reveal a really expensive-ass looking ring.

Marvel's eyes widened at the shiny-ness, "Ooooh...!"

Cato snapped the box shut, "Yeah, I'm that serious." He pulled himself back onto the bunk.

"Dude, I'm proud of you for doing this," Marvel stated. "But just note that if she says yes and you get laid, take the bottom bunk and let me borrow your headphones."

Cato chuckled, "Deal, derp."

AT DISTRICT 1!

Glimmer smiled like an idiot at Cato's last letter. She opened her email and started to write a reply.

To my dearest Cato...

Just to make Marvel's day, of course Clove misses him. I think all this time apart from him made her love him even more. She came over to 1 to spend some more time with me, which is cool and all, but she hitchhiked here all alone... and we're going through a goddamn war! But she has her knives, so he don't need to worry about her.

Speaking of worrying, I won't worry about you if you don't worry about me. I don't like it when I worry, and I don't like it when you worry! (Mainly because I start fidgeting endlessly when I'm worried and that tends to frighten people for some reason.)

When I take that train ride with Clove to 13, I'll have that umbrella sword with me just in case some shit goes down. And if shit goes down, then I'll use that umbrella and come to you alive.

I promise you.

On another note... MARVEL SAW THE PHOTO!? Dear god, please tell me he doesn't have photographic memory! And don't send that photo to anyone else, please. It's for you, baby, and only for you. I want it to be that one special thing that I give to you and not anyone else in Panem.

I can't wait to see you, baby. The night I arrive will be the night I do something that I've been aching to do for a long long time. *Wink wink nudge nudge*

I love you, Cato, I really really do. And I will be all right on this journey.

Can't wait to see you, baby!

Love you forever.

XOXOXOXO

- Glimmer.

PS: You're so hot whenever you call me Sparkles.

Glimmer checked over her writing to see if it made sense. When it did with a few tweaks, she sent the send button and turned off her computer.

She looked over to her friend who was currently fast asleep on the couch. As usual, Clove was sleeping with a knife clutched in her hands.

Glimmer laughed at this softly as she stood up and turned off all the lights in her home.

"Good night, Clove," Glimmer whispered as she went into her own room.

She needed a good sleep tonight to wake up early for the train ride to 13 tomorrow.
