mollycato; back home

as requested by lunalestrange4

District 2 is a nightmare.

It's everything Molly's read about in stories, but no place she's ever wanted to visit. It's gray and dreary, and even though it's awfully luxurious, nobody acts like they're happy. Because everywhere you turn, there's a fight breaking out, and people crowd around like it's some kind of show until someone drops dead. The Peacekeepers even seem to enjoy it. For Molly, all it does is make her want to cry.

She wishes she could be back home, with her family. Back at the Burrow where Grandma Molly fixes sweets for everyone and all the kids eat and play and she can sit with Rose while they read their books, and blush whenever Lysander tries to flirt with her (because for some reason, it's always her he goes to). Back home, no one fights and no one dies. Everyone just loves.

But then Cato slips his hand into hers, and even though he's probably the worst of them all when it comes to fighting, he's the only one who makes this seem like a good choice.
