There will be a poll on my profile page asking if you guys will want another Glato or my newest Clarvel. I'll be posting some one-shots of Clarvel just to get some people reading on that couple, and so they will also vote. So please go to my homepage and vote! Thank you!

As night time rolled around, Zircon forced Cato to set up the lumpy pull put bed and sleep in the living room while Glimmer slept in her own bedroom. Her family still didn't approve of them being together, and were working hard not to allow them to be together much.

"Goodnight Cato." Glimmer whispered before heading into her room.

"Night Glimmer." He sighed, pulling the short, torn blanket over him.

He layed there, thinking about all kinds of ways he could get her family to accept him. He could get some people to rebuild this house, it's all run down and dangerous for the younger ones to be living in, maybe give them more money to move and be happy, or he could buy them plenty of things to make their lives easier. Grinning at the plan, he decided he would go out tomorrow to the shops.

"Cato?" Glimmer whispered, shaking him awake.

"Huh?" he groaned, stretching out on the bed.

"Breakfast is almost done."

"What time is it?" he asked, still feeling exhausted even though he went to bed early.

"Like four in the morning." She shrugged.

"What, why would breakfast be getting made already?"

"Well, my dad has to work from five to six so we all get up early to have breakfast together."

"Oh, alright." He nodded, slightly confused, and got up.

Glimmer led Cato into her crappy kitchen with a little, scratched table in the middle. Once again, like last night, everyone had their own place but Cato. Glimmer happily sat on his lap as they ate breakfast. The meal was nice. There was small talk, happy smiles, and helpers when it came to cleaning the table.

Watching how the family interacted made Cato understand how he never really did have a family. Sure his parents took care of him. Kept him fed, clothed, and safe, but he lived in the academy dorms ever since he turned twelve. He wished he had grown up with the family Glimmer had. Even though they had a crappy home, money problems, and struggling just to stay alive, Cato had never saw a more perfect family.

"So, Glim?" Cato said, coming up to the kitchen sink where Glimmer had just cleaned the dishes. "What are we doing today?"

"Cato," Glimmer sighed, "this isn't like back in the Capitol. I have school and work."

"What?"

"We need the money. I raised just enough to get us through two months we need it to stay that way." She explained, seeming a bit stressed.

"Well, why don't you let me help? I brought more than 10,000 dollars from my safe."

"We won't be able to pay that back."

"You don't need to. Glimmer I really, really like you. I'll give you anything."

"Last time we were given money it didn't turn out the best. Now it's ensured to be horrible if anyone finds out."

"I'll have given it to you as a gift, nothing against that."

"Cato, no!"

"Glim-."

"I don't have time to talk about this. I have to go to school and catch up on the work, go to actual work, and then get a bunch of groceries."

"Glimmer." Cato sighed, but she was already out the door.

He groaned and walked into the empty living room, plopping down on the hard couch. As he looked around the crappy room he remembered his plan. It would be perfect to show Glimmer all he could do for her and her family. Cato sprang up, grabbed his wallet, and hurried out the front door.

"Cato?" Glimmer shouted, walking into the house with her three younger siblings.

"I'm in your room!" he called back.

"Why?" Glimmer laughed nervously while she walked into her bedroom.

Her eyes widened at the sight. She had only been gone for ten hours and somehow Cato had completely turned her and her sister's room. They walls had been painted a cherry red with a new cream color carpet, on new bed for Glimmer, and a new bunk-bed for Sapphire and Opal. There was also new decorations around their room. Wooden night stands, framed pictures, and toy in a big toy chest.

"Whoa! This is awesome!" Sapphire cheered, sprinting over to the toys with Opal trailing behind her.

"What did you do?" Glimmer asked her eyes wide with shock.

"I fixed it all up." Cato shrugged, smiling down at the little girls playing.

"Why?"

"Well, this place is such a dump. You don't deserve to live in that."

"Cato," Glimmer sighed, rubbing her face, "you can't just remodel a room without talking to me. To my parents."

"Well, I can do the rest of the house."

"That's not the point!" Glimmer said sternly.

"Do you not like it?" he asked.

"No, I love it, but I wish you would've told me about this before."

"I wanted it to be a surprise." He said sadly.

"It's really sweet Cato," she said, hugging him around the neck, "just tell me next time you want to do something this big."

"Alright, and maybe we could think about the rest of the house."

"Cato, you have to go back to the Capitol in less than a month. We can't make all these changes."

"I just want you to be happy."

"I am."

"Even when I leave?"

"Well, I don't know what will happen after that."

"We can still sneak around."

"I don't want that kind of relationship."

"Then what do we do?"

"We deal and maybe move on."

"I can't. I can't just pretend to forget and move on."

"Well right now, I don't want to talk about it. I just want to be with you." She smiled, placing her lips on his.

Cato gladly kissed by, smiling into it, and wrapped his arms around her waist to pull her close. The sound of giggling made them break away and turn to the smiling faces of Glimmer's little sisters.

"I'm going to make dinner." Glimmer whispered, giving him one more kiss before leaving him.

Okay, if you didn't read the top part I'm going to say once again that I'll have a poll on my homepage that I want you to vote on. It's for either a new Glato and new Clarvel story. Thank you!
