Prompt: None, I just wanted to write some fluff after the last two chapters.


"Finnick, if you can't get this knot out of my hair – Ouch!"

"Sorry," Finnick said, desperately trying to unknot his girlfriend's hair. "Don't worry, Annie, I'll get it. Could you sit still so I can get it out?"

Annie wriggled a little bit in her spot. "Finnick, I've been sitting here for half an hour while you tried to get this knot out. I'll give you five more minutes, but then I'm getting out the scissors." She stilled, and Finnick went back to work on the knot.

It had all started so innocently. They were sitting together on their porch, looking out at the ocean like they did most nights. Finnick had only come back from the Capitol a few days before, and with the memories of his time there still fresh in his mind, he needed his rope for comfort. Annie hadn't wanted him to go back inside for it, so she'd allowed him to knot her hair instead. It had been fine for a while, but then Finnick had tried a new knot of his own invention. He'd been trying to untie it for the last forty minutes.

"Five, four, three, two, one." Annie stood up, causing Finnick to accidentally pull her dark hair.

"No, Annie, please don't cut it off! Just give me five more minutes, and I'm sure I'll be able to get it back to normal." He pushed out his lower lip and widened his eyes. He'd never met a woman who could say no to his puppy dog look.

Luckily for him, Annie was no exception. "All right, Finn, one more try." She sat back down next to him. "Just remember, it's you who likes the long hair. I don't care if it all goes."

"I'll keep that in mind." Finnick closed his eyes and just felt the strands, focusing on how they fit together to form a knot. He smiled as he found the loose spot he'd been looking for. Once he loosened that area, the rest of the knot was easily untied. "There you have it," he said.

"Finally!" Annie turned to give Finnick a hug.

"You know, a thank you wouldn't be out of place here," said Finnick as he wrapped his arms around her.

Annie smirked at him. "It was your fault in the first place, Odair." She lessened the sting of her words by pressing a gentle kiss to his lips. "Is that enough thanks for you?"

"Not quite. I think another might be in order." His eyes fluttered shut as Annie thanked him again and again.
