HI OKAY I HAVE BEEN SUPER BUSY BUT I WROTE THIS CHAPTER LIKE 2 MONTHS AGO SO I'M SORRY I LOVE YOU ALL

Enjoy :)

"And now, a toast to the happy couple!" Begins Finnick. "I can't believe you two are here, finally married. I can still remember the first time I ever saw you, Cato. You scared the life out of Annie. There we were on Skype when BAM! You changed our little Clover's life forever..."

-Flashback-

"Why exactly is adventure time a kids cartoon? It's not even meant for kids, there are adult themes"

"Yes, but it's cartoon. And it's colorful. And has a human interacting with rainbows, princesses and dogs. Isn't that the very definition of a children's show?

"True, but just beca-"

"GUYS!" Yelled Clove "Can we please talk about something other than Adventure Time?"

There is a knock at the door

"Holy shit, guys be quiet I think theres a murderer outside"

"What?"

"SHHH! Someone just knocked on the door instead of ringing the bell. I'm going to die. But not until I check it out" She said bravely.

The bell was at Cove's gate, a scant 10 metres from her front door, and almost impossible to climb unless you knew how. Which her friends did. And they didn't drop by unannounced.

"Be very, very quiet." Said Clove, "I'm getting a frying pan. Make sure you have 000 (Australia's equivalent to 911) ready just in case"

As she approached the door, frying pan in hand, she stopped to see if she could make out who it was. As she could see no discernible figure, her only option was to raise her pan higher and further back for an even more almighty blow. She opened the door, slowly, trying to see through the fly screen.

"Hello?" She ventured cautiously. She could see a male figure standing there, his back to her.

"Whenever you need somebody, I'll bring my love to you!" The guy spun around, smiling

"Cato?!" She opened the fly screen and before she could even put down the pan, Cato launched himself at her, cupped her face in his hands and kissed her

Oh. Thought Clove. Oh...

She dropped the pan, barely missing their toes and stood there, paralysed by his kiss. Coming to her senses, she opened her eyes and pushed him away.

"Cato, what the hell!? How did you even find me? I thought..I thought you.." Her words drifted, unsure of what to make of their last meeting

"Hated you?" He offered "Not a chance. And we do have some mutual contacts" He smiled wickedly. Then he got serious. "Clove, I really like you. More than I've liked anyone. I really wanna be with you. I know you don't want to be in a relationship right now, but I want to be with you here, if you still want me"

"Cato, I..." The memory of that night came back full force, and all Cloves feelings along with it. "This is very sweet of you, but..."

Cato's face fell. "Oh. It's Okay. I understand. You've moved on."

"No, its not - well I'm not sure, I literally haven't had time to think about you since then, much less how I feel about you. And I would hate it if I had somehow guilt tripped you into liking me, or thinking you came here to make me feel better. I think I would actually hate it if you kissed me to make me feel better." She said, staring at the floor.

"You haven't guilt tripped me into coming here, and I certainly didn't kiss you to make you feel better. A lightbulb went off in my head last week, Clove. I just wanna be with you. I just had to tell you so you had a real answer rather than another 4 months of emptiness. But If you don't want me here, I completely understand. I'll go now."

He turned and stepped towards the door

"Wait, Cato" Said Clove. "This..This is good"

Cato turned around "Yeah." She looked up "This is perfect -"

Halfway through that last word, she flung her arms around his neck and drew him into her. Grabbing her waist, Cato slammed her against the wall and kissed her with so much intensity she could have exploded. She raked her fingers through his hair and his fingers dug into her waist and back so hard she could have had bruises. But neither of that mattered to them.

"Clove? CLOVE? ARE YOU OKAY!? SHOULD WE CALL THE COPS?"

Annie was calling her but it was no use. She was too far gone to absorb anything beyond Cato. As they were making out, they slowly inched into Cloves bedroom, which was conveniently the closest room to the front door.

He gently laid her down on the bed, kissing her the whole time. Neither of them acknowledged the open laptop right next to them until -

"CLOVE! OH MY GOD WHO IS THAT!? FINNICK! FINNICK CALL THE POLICE SHE'S GETTING RAPED!"

This was followed by a hoot of laughter.

"Calm down Ann, Clove's finally getting some! USE PROTECTION!" Yelled Finnick, slapping his thigh

Clove snapped her head from Cato's lips and gasped in horror. She had completely forgotten they were there. She pushed Cato off her, shut her laptop and threw it onto her hanging egg chair.

'I swear I don't know them" She said. But Cato just laughed and pulled her in, giving her a gentle kiss on the forehead.

"How much longer are you home alone for?"

"Mum and dad fly in tomorrow at 5. I'll leave here at about 4. Why?"

"Does that mean I can stay the night?" Cato asked cheekily

Clove fake sighed "Well, I suppose if you must, I can arrange something"

He tickled her back onto the bed

"HAHA - OH CATO NO - PLEASE - DONT - AHAHA - I CAN'T- BREATHE!"

He gave in. 'Well if you're going to stay, I need to get changed.I've already showered and everything. I know it's only you, but still" She teased, pushing him out of the room.

She looked down at her skin-tight black jumper and blue pajama pants. This simply will not do, she thought to herself. Stripping down, she sent a silent payer of thanks upwards that Cato hand't tried to undress her. She was in her grandma bra and undies, and those would have to be burned. She found her matching lacy black bra and undies and slipped them on, followed by cotton shorts and a baggy white tee. She came out of the room and Cato looked at her up and down, his eyebrows raised in surprise, as if to say, 'who are you, and what have you done with Clove?'.

He grinned from ear to ear

She wrapped her legs around his waist while he backed her into the bedroom. As they were kissing on the bed, he started to lift up her shirt when she stopped him

"I can't" She said simply

"Don't worry, I wasn't going to try anything stupid" He told her respectfully

"It's okay. I trust you."

They stayed up the whole night, watching old 80s flicks and eating junk food. They kissed some more, told eachother how they really felt about the almost 2 years of no contact and just lay in bed, entwined in eachother's arms. And when it got too cold for Clove to be in her bra and undies, and Cato in his Calvin Klein boxers, he gave her his shirt which had been flung away in another moment of passion.

Slowly, just as Clove was drifting off into sleep, she heard those 4 words she never thought she would. "Clove, I love you"

Being so close to unconscious, she barely managed to whisper back, "I love you too"

And she stayed like that, lulled into a blissful oblivion that included only her and Cato.

-Flashback Over-
