Chapter 20: Epilogue.

Louis "Lou" Esau-Lapointé, 18

District 2, Victor of the 74th Hunger Games

Lou had made it. He had won the Hunger Games, moved in with his boyfriend, survived the victory tour. Or, he had almost survived the victory tour. He still had one more thing left to do.

He was currently at the last stage of the victory tour, the Capitol. It was really fun, compared to the other stages where he was often booed off the stage. Here he could enjoy it and have fun, he was a victor.

"Some champagne sir?" He turned around to see a servant, holding a plate with tiny champagne glasses. He nodded assent and grabbed one, wincing at the uncomfortableness it caused him. He was still not used to having a prosthetic hand.

"Lou!" He turned to see his boyfriend running up to him. "This is so fun!" He sounded so cute when he said that.

"It sure is!" Lou replied, smiling. It was at that moment that he knew he was ready. "Do you want to go for a walk?"

Damian nodded and Lou took his hand. Together, the two left the building and walked to a secluded garden nearby, it had taken lots of questions to find out where it was.

"Woah, this place is beautiful!" Damian said. Lou nodded and reached into his pocket.

But before he could pull out a ring, Damian did instead. He was on one knee, holding up a ring box of his own, and inside was the largest jewel he had ever seen.

"What- I. I was gonna propose!" Lou spluttered, taking out his own ring box.

"Beat ya to it," Damian replied.

Lou wanted to cry, of happiness, of course. He had won the goddamn Hunger Games, nothing in his life could surprise him, except for this.

"Yes!" He said.

"I didn't even ask the question yet!" Damian said.

"I know."

Author's Note:
