for about two weeks, finnick was away, in the capitol, mentoring the two tributes from district 4 reaped for this year's hunger games, the 74th hunger games, which katniss everdeen and peeta mellark won, both tributes - now, victors - from district 12, mentored by haymitch abernathy.
after coming back, he took you out on a date. a date on the secluded, private beach in the victors' village that only the victors and their families were allowed to visit.
he held your hand as you walked along the wooden deck, his grasp gentle. once you found a nice place where you could set up the base, he let go of your hand, already excited to show you what he prepared.
he set down the blanket, securing it under a few rocks so the wind couldn't blow it away - hopefully. with a proud smile on his face, he unpacked the food and drinks he brought and made by himself; sandwiches, cookies, fruit, and two glass bottles filled with lemonade with ice.
for a while, you two sat there, chatting and snacking. that is, until finnick suggested that you go for a swim. you agreed, of course - it was a hot day everyday and all day in district 4, and you needed to cool down a bit.
before you could even blink, he was in the water, impatiently waiting for you to join him. once you did, he took your hands in his and led you further away from the beach, where the water was deeper. finnick being finnick, splashed water on you, a dumb grin on his face, dimples on full display. yes, this was the man you chose to love, deal with it.
