Author's Note:

Here's another Coryo/June request I had gotten. It's basically Coriolanus being jealous that June's got a boyfriend. It's set in the Capitol during the Academy years. So in this one June's raised in the Capitol.

Have fun reading

Coriolanus was walking downstairs towards June's floor, like he did every morning, to meet up with her before school. Ever since he could remember, he walked to school with her. June lived in the same building as him on the Corso and after becoming friends in kindergarten, well…she became a constant in his life.

Even after he lost his parents in the war and got thrown into a life of poverty, she was still there.

Junewould always be there or at least that's how he felt.

Why would she be anywhere, but by his side?

June his best friend; it was expected that she'd be glued to his hip til kingdom come.

But, truth be told, Coriolanus hasn't viewed June as his best friend in a long time. In fact, he was positive that he was obsessively head over heels in love with the raven haired girl.

Yes, he was insanely in love with her.

His best friend.

June's been his ever since she arrived in the Capitol at the tender age of 5.

Her father was an officer serving under his father, General Crassus Snow, in District 12. Officer Halvir decided to send his family to the Capitol when the rebellion started. It was a good thing that he sent June, her older brother Rein, and their mother away too since he was murdered by rebels along with Coriolanus' father during the dark days.

So, June's been by Coriolanus' side during the war and after.

Maybe that's why he felt such a strong pull of possessive love towards her. Plus, June's in the same boat as him. Living off of her good name and scraping to get by. Attending the Academy with the hopes of acquiring one of the few and highly sought out end of year prizes to pay for university.

Eh, at least Reinnsent home his wages from being a peacekeeper to ensure that June and her mother didn't starve (too much).

Her brother reminded him so much of his sweet cousin.

His cousin Tigris was stuck slaving away for Fabricia Whatnot. She was supposed to be her apprentice, but she was more or less a glorified maid to the designer.

Also, the pay his cousin received was very low. Unfortunately, she sometimes has to sell her body to afford them an extra head of cabbage or to get him new (old) dress shoes or something that he needed.

Shaking the thought of his cousin selling herself out of his head, Coriolanus walked onto June's floor. The 8th floor.

He went over to her door and knocked on it like he did every morning. Except that unlike every morning his beautiful raven haired girl didn't answer it with a large smile full of sunshine and roses that was reserved just for him.

No…

This morning he was met with the sight of June's mother opening the door in an outdated silk kimono. An opera length cigarette holder dangled between her fingers. The plum nail polish chipping as if she hasn't had her nails done in weeks.

Actually, when Coriolanus thinks about it, June's mother hasn't had her nails done in weeks since her family's as poor as his.

Before he could even ask for June, Mrs. Halvir looked up at him with indifference in her eyes and revealed, "June's not here, but if you run downstairs and up the street I'm sure you'll be able to catch up with her and her new boyfriend."

Coriolanus' icy blue eyes blazed with a mixture of anger and shock. "Her new boyfriend?!" He bitterly spat out.

June's mother just rolled her grey eyes at the boy she thought was going to ruin her only daughter's life if June continued to be up his ass all the time. There was just something about Coriolanus that unsettled her. That made her believe he was all wrong for her daughter.

Maybe it was how possessive he was with yJune, as if he owned her, when she was nothing to him, but a neighbor and friend.

June wasn't t his girlfriend, but he paraded her around like she was. Got mad if she talked to anyone he didn't approve of. Wanted to be around her all the time.

Etc, etc, etc.

So, of course June's mother encouraged her to accept Sejanus' invitation to a dinner date. To accept his offer of picking her up for school.

When June talked to her mother the other day about how the Plinth boy (who was assigned to do an project with her for their Ancient History class) admitted he had a crush on her and wanted to take her out; be her boyfriend, well, Mrs. Halvir all but pushed her daughter into saying yes to the boy.

Anything to keep June away from Coriolanus Snow.

The son of General Crassus Snow.

Just the memory of her late husband's commanding officer sent chills up Mrs. Halvir's spine.

"Let's not beat around the bush, Coriolanus. You're no good for my daughter and have nothing to offer her, except a moldy 12th floor penthouse and some rotten food." June's mother tipped her ashes on Coriolanus' too small shoes before continuing with, "But her new boyfriend has a lot to offer her. He's a good guy that has a heart of gold. Is heir to a fortune as well." Mrs. Halvir slammed the door shut in the face of her best friend; leaving him to stand in the hallway stewing in his newfound anger and jealousy.

He was going to find out who his best friend's boyfriend was and then he was going to kill the asshole who even dared take what was his.

Fuck!

Everyone knew that June Halvir belonged to him. Who in their right mind would be stupid enough to ask her out?

Coriolanus found out who was stupid enough to ask June out whenever lunchtime came around. Unfortunately for him, they didn't have any morning classes together. That sucked, but he was looking forward to lunch so that he could ask her about what her mother told him this morning.

Whenever he walked into the cafeteria he saw June sitting at their regular table with that pathetic district dog Sejanus by her side. Why was June sitting with him, he didn't know. She knew that she's supposed to wait for him to sit with her before playing nice with the District 2 transplant.

Walking up to the table, Coriolanus set his tray down and took a seat next to June. "I went to your apartment to get you this morning, but your mom said that your boyfriend picked you up."

"Oh, I'm so sorry, Coryo. I should've told you as soon as he asked me out." June appologized, guilt heavy in her grey eyes. Eyes that she inherited from her mother.

"It's alright, my little dove." No it wasn't alright. Coriolanus was going to find out who asked her out and then rip their heart out of their chest and feed it to his neighbor's cat, Boa Bell.

Sejanus had a stupid grin on his face as he looked at June. Wait, why was he looking at June?

Coriolanus' baby blues looked between his raven haired best friend and the Plinths heir, only to feel his chest begin to tighten.

No!

God no!

Please!

No, no, no!

Anybody, but Sejanus. Anynody but him.

Not him and his June…

No…

But Coriolanus' pleas to a higher power went on death ears as June looked between the curly haired blonde and the warm hearted brunette while announcing, "Sejanus is my boyfriend now. We've been working on a project for Ancient History together and, well, he's taking me to dinner tonight."

"Oh. That's nice." Coriolanus said in a tone that was dripping with fake kindness. In reality he wanted to bash Sejanus' head in with his tray for tricking June into going out with him.

How dare he seduce her while working on a class project. June such an innocent little dove. She could easily be corrupted and needed protecting from men that has ill intentions towards her.

Coriolanus always thought that he was doing a good job protecting June, but it turns out that he failed. She's no longer his and his alone.

Now he was expected to share Jume with Sejanus Plinth, that boy from District 2 whose Pa's blood money bought his way into the Capitol. Oh, like hell that was happening.

Coriolanus Snow did not share anything.

At all.

And he wasn't going to share June.

He didn't know how, but he was going to get her back.

Feeling the need to lash out, Coriolanus excused himself from the table. Of course, June told him she'd wait for him to get back. Sejanus didn't say a word to him, just asked June if she wanted his cookie because he didn't feel like it.

How sickening, he was using food to win her over.

Coriolanus didn't stay and watch Jume accept the cookie. Instead he went to the nearest restroom, locked himself in a stall, and nearly pulled his hair out while letting out frustrated screams. He angrily cried at the thought of losing his innocent little dove.

He couldn't lose June.

June was his and he needed her.

Damnit, he needed to find a way to break up June and Sejanus

Maybe he should just make the district 2 scumbag disappear. That would solve all his problems.

Then he'd be able to get his little dove back. And once he had June back, he'd clip her wings so she'd never be away to fly away again.
