Shipping week day 3!

Prompt: Overdue Vacation

Pairing: Effie and Haymitch

Effie's dress had a spill. A dark red blotch was currently growing on the skirt of her white dress. Her best dress of the season! It kept growing and growing, a monster eating up the pure, white silk.

She felt like crying.

That was her favorite dress! It was also the day of the Reaping, when all of Panem would be seeing her. Seeing the new District Twelve escort for the first time; all eyes would be trained on her. Her and her stupid stain.

Oh why did the mentor for the coal District have to be a slob who didn't have any manners? And why of all days did he have to be drunk on red whine?! Life wasn't fair.

Tears began to prick at the corner of her eyes, and a red tint bathed her world view. She was seeing red. Effie tried to keep calm, she breathed in and out. In. Out. But all she felt was the cool touch of the wine, a reminder that she had a freaking stain.

"Oh suck it up, sweetheart." The mentor, Haymitch, drawled. Effie insistently backed away, she'd learned the first time that getting near Haymitch was not a good idea in a white dress, but Haymitch was faster, and drunker, and he manged planted a kiss right on her lips.

The sharp burning flavor of liquor and the fragrance of wine explode in her mouth. In her six inch heels, Effie stumbled away from Haymitch. Yuck!

"God," Effie threw up her arms. "Is it too late to retire? I need a vacation."

Haymitch, drunk as ever, wasn't helping. "That's good. You can have a vacation here, sweetheart."

Effie couldn't contain herself anymore. She tilted her head back and screamed.
