"Just let me take care of you." He told her.

"No, you're the one who-"

"I'm better now Katniss it's my turn to take care of you."

"But I-"

"I know you haven't needed to be taken care of before." He said, "But I think you need me, and I think you want me to take care of you."

"I haven't wanted someone to take care of me in years."

"I know. But let me take care of you now."

She looked at him with tear glazed eyes, why was he doing this. And why was she so on edge about it?

He wiped away her first tear before snuggling up beside her, "Come stop your crying, it will be alright. Just take my hand. Hold it tight. I will protect you from all around you. I will be here, don't you cry."

She allowed herself to settle in his arms, stealing his warmth and his comfort, "For one so small, you seem so strong. My arms will hold you, keep you safe and warm. This bond between us, can't be broken. I will be here don't you cry."

He kissed her head softly, "'Cause you'll be in my heart. Yes, you'll be in my heart, from this day on, now and forever more.

"You'll be in my heart. No matter what they say. You'll be here in my heart, always."

But she kept crying, she didn't know why and neither did he, "Why can't they understand the way we feel? They just don't trust what they can't explain. I know we're different but deep inside us, we're not that different at all." Only she and the residents of District Twelve knew that.

"And you'll be in my heart. Yes, you'll be in my heart, from this day on, now and forever more."

"Don't listen to them, 'cause what do they know? We need each other, to have, to hold. They'll see in time, I know.

"When destiny calls you. You must be strong. I may not be with you, but you've got to hold on. They'll see in time I know. We'll show them together,

"'Cause you'll be in my heart. Yes, you'll be in my heart. Believe me, you'll be in my heart. I'll be there from this day on, now and forever more.

"Oh, you'll be in my heart . No matter what they say. You'll be here in my heart, always. Always

"I'll be with you. I'll be there for you always. Always and always. Just look over your shoulder. Just look over your shoulder. Just look over your shoulder. I'll be there always."

The Victors wished that were true for the couple, only they knew the Games far too well. The boy played them well. But They knew it wouldn't be enough to matter in the end.
