"Something like that."

There's just nothing to say. No snappy remarks, no witty one-liners. This isn't a game that can be won, not really.

Finnick looks down at her, releasing his grip enough to brush her hair out of her her face. His mouth opens like he's going to say something in response to that, but she's right. He doesn't. His lips brush across her forehead, almost an apology that he can't tell her it'll be okay.

[kissmyaxe]

Johanna feels the touch of his lips on her forehead and her eyes squeeze shut. She knows she has to do this - not even because of the Capitol, but because of the seeds of a revolution that have been sown, a chance to end all of this.

But even with that noble goal, she doesn't want to go back into the Games. She doesn't want to do this, not when the layer of protection she'd built around herself the first time has been so thoroughly stripped from her. She's no innocent little girl now.

She turns her face up, forcing her eyes open again. There's barely anything sexual about it when she presses her mouth to his, more of a desperate plea than anything else. Usually she waits for him to make the first move, all things considered, but she needs this. Needs something.

"Just--" She lets out a shuddering breath against his mouth, and her hands leave her own body, fist in his shirt. "Just let me think about something else, just for a bit."

[insecrets]

Finnick's expecting it, if he's going to be honest. He's expecting the way her mouth feels against his, and that desperation that's filling her body - the way her muscles tense and the awkward way she holds herself. He responds mechanically anyway, despite being ready for it.

There's a rebellion, there's a Game. They're going to die, they might live.

His last night with Annie was spent comforting her. He doesn't mind, because it meant he could protect her one last time.

It's a strange parallel to draw on, but it's similar to the way Johanna feels against him. A different kind of comfort, another type of protection. His hands move to her face, rough fingers moving over skin as his thumbs brush over her cheekbones. For a moment, he thinks about telling her no. Like this is a bad idea, like he can't let his last moment be with her instead.

"Okay," he breathes against her mouth before kissing her hard.

[kissmyaxe]

There's a thin tendril of disgust curling through her at the mechanical way he responds, although whether it's at him or her, she has no idea. Is she any better than them, using him like this?

Honestly, she's not going to examine that one too closely. He whispers okay and she doesn't have to (or is at least going to use it as an excuse not to).

She gives as good as she gets, dragging him closer. He's too good at this, but Johanna really doesn't care about that right now, tugging his lower lip between her teeth, fisting one hand in his hair. Something like heat washes through her, but it's a dim, muted thing, overwhelmed by thoughts of the arena, the screams of the dying, the boom of the canon. She curses against his mouth, pushing closer again like the more of him she gets, the less room there'll be for her past.

[insecrets]

He makes a noise in the back of his throat at the contact of her teeth against his lip, hands dropping from her face immediately. They go to her waist instead, pulling her tighter to him when she pushes. Fingers make their way under the fabric of her shirt to press against her skin.

It's less mechanical now. This is Johanna, after all. Even if she's using him, he doesn't care. In the end, they both kind of need this. This chance to feel somewhat human. Maybe not alive, but human.

His mouth is harsh against hers for a moment, and he doesn't really know if it's because she wants it like that, if he's punishing her or himself, punishing the Capitol for what they've done to them. He walks her back toward the bed without missing a beat. He's good at this, of course he is.

[kissmyaxe]

A groan tears itself from her throat at the harsh, almost painful edge to the kiss. Each passing second pushes the Games further back into her skull, and even if there's a small voice screaming you're going to die you're going to die at her, that mixed pleasure and hurt is enough to steal her focus for now.

Finnick might start walking her back, but before they even reach the mattress she's half dragging him as well; impatient, and maybe scared he'll stop. The backs of her knees hit the bed, and she doesn't hesitate in tipping backwards, taking him with her. Normally she'll fight for the top, but she doesn't care right now, doesn't care about anything except keeping that voice at bay for as long as she can.

And maybe being close to him, but she'll never tell Finnick that.

[insecrets]

They fall back onto the bed, Finnick's body on top of hers. It doesn't take much for him to shift his weight so that he's not resting on her, not pinning her down. He remembers that it only took him a few times to learn how to do that in the beginning. He's always been a quick learner.

His hands move under her shirt, dragging against skin. It's soft, because the Capitol stylists know what they're doing when they're not dressing girls up like trees. But it's not Annie soft. Hard muscles meet his fingers, but that doesn't stop him. Johanna's not Annie. Her shirt comes up with his hands, fingers spread out over her rib cage.

Finnick breaks the kiss, breathing hard as he looks her over for a moment. Then he leans in again, teeth scraping gently over her jawline as his mouth moves down her neck, hands sliding up until he's palming her breasts.

Whatever reason they're doing this for, he's going to make it good. Make it count.

[kissmyaxe]

Johanna arches into his touch; they might have done this before, but those are the only times anyone ever gets close to her. Her body is sensitive, at least in this sort of situation, and his touch is like fire spreading through her in the best sort of way.

Her fingers unclench from his shirt, gripping the hem instead as she tugs it up demandingly. She doesn't linger on his body, not yet, although her hands pause in their work completely when he stops like that. She glares up at him, defiant and maybe needy in the worst kind of way. Not for what they're doing, but for comfort, for reassurance, for him, for all the things she'd given up a long time ago.

And then he's on her again and Johanna lets those thoughts burn away with the rest, tugging on his shirt again until he doesn't have a choice but to get rid of it.

[insecrets]

With a sigh, Finnick stops and sits up, pushing her hands away. His shirt comes off with practiced ease, mustering up a smirk for her that doesn't reach his eyes.

The fact of the matter is, he knows he doesn't have to be charming. He doesn't really have to be anything for her but himself, but sometimes, he's not really sure of what that means. Who is he? What should he do for her?

He pauses as he looks down at her again. This is right, and it's wrong. Leaning down, he tugs her shirt off as well, giving her little choice in that matter.

"You look fake." He's so romantic. A real ladies' man.

[kissmyaxe]

She bares her teeth at him a little when he smirks like that, her own expression more sardonic than aggressive. She doesn't get distracted by his beauty or some poetic shit like that as the shirt comes off - Johanna knows him too well for that - just lets him take her shirt off as well. Her fingers dig into his hips as she tugs him in close again, demanding.

"Then do something about it, pretty boy," she snaps, and kisses him again. The back of her nails skate up his back, not quite hard enough to hurt. Not yet, at least.

[insecrets]

He wants to say that there's nothing he can really do. The Capitol's made its mark on her, the same as they have on him. But he kisses her back instead, his mouth hard and hot against hers, one hand sweeping down her side.

His hips grind down against hers at the feel of her nails on his skin, and he inhales sharply. His hand digs into her hip, breaking the kiss so that he can return his attention back to her neck. Teeth scrape along skin as he trails biting kisses to her shoulder.

Little marks that make her real again, less Capitol.

[kissmyaxe]

He grinds down and her legs shift apart almost automatically, wider. The stupid tree dress is long gone, but her stylist had shoved her into another skirt, apparently under the impression that her own little girl act still had some life left in it. She huffs out a soft, mocking laugh, although whether it's at the way Finnick sucks in a breath or her own thoughts, she's not sure.

Either way, the sound trails off into a moan. His teeth scrape her skin, and she twitches, caught between pleasure and panic. Adrenaline pumps through her, her body on the edge of anticipation, waiting for the killing stroke. Her mind might know Finnick won't hurt her (seriously, at least), but she never really left the Games.

Now her nails dig in, and she screws her eyes shut with a gasp. She won't admit that she's clinging to him, but she's pretty much clinging to him.

[insecrets]

The act has enough life in it for him, at least. His hand moves down further, to her thigh, under the fabric of her skirt. It's convenient enough, and he's surprised she didn't ditch it before coming up here to him.

That sound brings another smirk to his lips, a real one, as his tongue paints over the lines of her collarbone. There's something to be smug about, when he can make Johanna Mason be as lowly and human as the next person with nothing but his mouth. And he's just barely started.

As much as this might be for her, it's for him, too. He needs this, needs someone to be with that's his own choice.

His breath ghosts over a breast, teeth scraping gently over the skin around her nipple.

[kissmyaxe]

She wishes she'd ditched it too, her pride pricked by how easy she's making this for him. "Shut the fuck up," she mutters, tangling one hand in his hair and tugging.

Pride or not, she's like this every time, too needy, too desperate. It's hard not to be, caught between everything that Finnick is and everything he is to her. Her nails drag down again leaving red marks in their wake. Down his back, lighter over his side until she's at his hip.

There's a moment of distraction when his teeth tease her nipple, but it'd take more than that to make Johanna Mason lose track of what she's doing. She wriggles her hand between the press of their bodies, ghosting over his cock before she palms it through his pants.

[insecrets]

Her words drag a laugh out of him, mouth against her skin. "I didn't even say anything."

Honestly, as amusing as it is when she gets this way, he can't blame her. Not because it's him - even if he has a certain amount of pride in his ability - but because nobody touches her. Nobody does this to her, gets close enough to feel the way she shivers, how her skin tastes (right now, it takes like the Capitol, but he can live with that).

His lips close over her nipple just as her hand gets between them, and he isn't ashamed of the way his hips stutter into her palm, his erection getting harder. She never has been the best at being patient.

[kissmyaxe]

"You didn't have to." His stupid face says it all.

She pants out a laugh as his hips stutter down. She's not anywhere near as practiced at this as he is (obviously), but she's a fast learner. Her ego doesn't allow for anything else. And his lips are closing over her nipple and fuck it feels good, a streak of fire through her veins, pooling in her gut. She tugs on his hair harder, fingers working whatever stupid excuse the Capitol has for a button on his pants.

Multi-tasking, it turns out, is a skill she has in abundance. His pants come undone, and she doesn't hesitate in shoving them down over his hips. "Take them off already," she demands.

[insecrets]

His pants are sliding down his hips, her fingers working against him as a low moan builds in the back of his throat. Teeth nip at her sensitive skin before he trails his mouth to her other breast, his own fingers traveling over her inseam where thigh meets hip. There's heat washing over him, strangling him, and part of him just wants to get on with it. Just wants to fuck her senseless, because it's what he wants. What she wants.

Instead, he looks up at her, gaze dark. "No."

His tongue circles her other nipple.

[kissmyaxe]

Johanna hates herself (or him) for it a little, but her body jumps with every nip, riding that edge of pain and pleasure. She hasn't relaxed even a little bit, too keyed up because of their proximity. It doesn't make it any less intense though - probably adds to it, if she's in an honest mood (she's never in an honest mood).

Finnick looks up at her like that, and even before he says no there's a wave of heat washing through her at the way he looks at her. A sound of frustration breaks past her lips, and she pulls her hand from between them to smack him in the shoulder. "Don't be an asshole!"

[insecrets]

Finnick laughs, pressing a kiss to her breastbone as the sound of her smack rings in the air. It stings, but it doesn't bother him. It makes it better in a way, sends heat through his veins, stomach tightening. "I'm not being an asshole. I'm just denying you the absolute privilege of getting my pants off yet."

He plants another kiss on her skin, lower, below her diaphragm. "Can't always get what you demand, Johanna."

[kissmyaxe]

"Absolute privilege," she repeats, caught between mocking and incredulity. Honestly, the bullshit he comes out with sometimes makes her want to find her shirt and go.

She licks her lips absently as he works his way down, trying not to show her anticipation. There's no hiding the faint quiver of her stomach, though, and she waits with a sort of breathless irritation to see where his lips will go next. If they'll keep going down. "When was the last time I got something I demanded?" It's a poor attempt at covering up how much she wants this, but she tries anyway.

[insecrets]

"You heard me." There's a definite shit-eating grin on his face at this point, like he knows what he's saying is so full of it. But he can't help it. Not at all. It's fun.

His lips make their way to the flat plane of her stomach, the muscles of her abdomen, tongue circling the belly button for a moment. Like if he can do this enough, use his lips and tongue and teeth on her skin enough, he can clean her - clean himself - of them. All of them.

"You got my shirt."

[kissmyaxe]

"I hear you being an ass." She's terrible at remaining still, even if she's not totally obvious about it. Her hips shift, the muscles in her stomach twitching. She curls her toes and then forces them to be still, only to move again. He plays her like a freaking instrument, and she can't deny that she loves it. Internally, at least.

Her teeth sink into her lower lip and her hands finally slip away from him. He's too low down for her to touch now, anyway - what's she going to do, stroke his hair? Not her style. "You got mine, doesn't count."

[insecrets]

It comes with the trade really, but it helps that he knows her too. It's a mixture of knowledge that comes out just right in this particular skill set.

Now that he's able to balance himself on his knees, he uses both hands more effectively. Lifting her hips with one while the other expertly finds the zipper to her skirt and undoes it. His mouth never leaves her, weaving designs across her waist to her hips. He does pull back, however, when he has to remove the ridiculous thing from her body, sliding it down her legs.

"How many did you kill before they got you into this thing anyway?"

[kissmyaxe]

She doesn't lift her hips to help him, but that's only because he handles her body so well that she doesn't have to, the jerk. Her arm lifts, covers her face as she starts finding it difficult to keep control of her expression. His mouth is driving her insane, which is probably impressive, considering how crazy she is already.

How many did you kill? The arm snaps away immediately, hitting the bed as the words slice through her. Johanna scrambles to sit up, away from Finnick, staring at him with a confused, accusing stare. Why bring that up now - why bring that up ever--

It takes a moment, for the rest of his sentence to sink in. She swallows, looking away from him. Not wanting to admit to her paranoid mistake. "Stupid stylist wouldn't stop crying about how I ruined his creation. I had to do something to make him shut up."

[insecrets]

Finnick sits back on his knees when Johanna pulls away from him like that, a sigh on his lips as he watches her carefully. There's a difference between him and others. Between most Careers and the other districts. Dead bodies aren't the problem. They never have been.

He reaches out for her ankle, thumb brushing over the skin gently. Not to frighten her. Comfort. He's not an idiot, after all. And then he tugs, just as gently, pulling her back.

"And here I thought my tears were the only ones that could reach your frigid heart."
