I had woken a few minutes prior because I never sleep well when I'm nervous, and I was nervous today. It was the last day of training before the Private Training Sessions and I wanted to be at my best so I might do well. Of course, laying awake for hours before I really need to wake up wouldn't do me any good so I tried to get back to sleep. My efforts were to no avail, but I still didn't feel like breaking the silence that I lay in just to check the time, so I just continued to stare at the ceiling thinking about how I might go about my day and what I might do to impress the game makers. Was there anything I was really able to do? Well, anything that would show them that I meant business, and that maybe District seven might have a victor this year. Even though I wanted to show them that, I doubted it was true at least about me. I was sure Yaa had at least as good of a chance as me if not better. Yet another reason why having her as an ally would aid us both. The ceiling was very plain, and my eyes skittered over its surface without taking it in or caring enough about what it looked like as my mind rolled my thoughts around. My mind jumped from place to place as I considered what I should or could do today. Surely my climbing and pocket picking skills might come in handy, right? If I could tie everything together in a way that would attract the attention of the game makers I might do well. I took a deep breath, filling my lungs until I couldn't get any more air into them before letting it all out in a long sigh. One step at a time. _________________________________________________________ Tags: Thundy | Words: 327 Other: "go go go let the cute begin"

At some point in the middle of the night Yaa decided that sleep was overrated anyways. She had maybe, maybe gotten an hour's worth of shut-eye, but it felt more like she staring at the insides of her eyelids, mind racing with everything she had learned in training. If she slept, she didn't dream. Her thoughts were painted with images of fire and blades and rope, but also of the future. She didn't dream, but she imagined, and what she imagined of her fate was bloody and full of agony.

But the hours of the morning ticked away, and soon the sun peeked over the horizon, just waiting for the right time to start the day. The rustling of sheets in the next room made her wonder if Deimos was awake as well. Either way, she pushed herself out from underneath the covers and tiptoed into the hallway. Pressing her ear to the door, she listened for the sound again. He could just have been tossing and turning, so she opened the door a smidgen and stuck her head through.

No surprises there: Deimos was fully awake, not exactly dressed modestly.

Yaa smiled, sliding quietly into the room and leaping onto the bed next to him.

"Rise and shine, princess."

I never even realized I wasn't the only one in my room until I felt a weight hit the side of my bed and send me scrabbling to sit up and see what had happened. "Rise and shine, princess." For a moment I thought Joey had managed to get into my room, somehow traveling to the Capitol and bypassing the hundreds of peacekeepers that seemed to guard us, to bug me. It would be something he would do, if he could, but I realized that the voice had been female. My heart pounding, I sat on the edge of my bed as I faced the partially opened door while trying to take a deep breath and steady my pulse. Slowly, knowing the one person it must be on the other side of the bed, I turned to face the person I expected to see even as I felt a blush crawl into my cheeks. I was not dressed, but thankfully I always slept in at least boxers. Right now they were clearly visible as I had kicked the covers off in my race to sit up and see what was going on. I grabbed the closest piece of the comforter, pulling over myself so everything from my waist down was shielded from sight. I knew she had already seen, but I just felt really uncomfortable without the extra layer keeping her gaze away. I looked at her, trying to keep from looking as nervous and shaken as I felt. This girl had come into my room without me realizing and had jumped onto my bed, calling me a nickname that I had been called by one of my few friends. It was hard not to have been startled as much as I had, but that didn't mean I had to let her know just how much she had caught me off guard. In truth, she already knew. I sighed, trying to look exasperated though it was probably far too late for that, especially after the spectacular amount of flailing I had just managed to do. I pulled the cover further over myself, not ready to lie back yet but still wanting to feel covered, grumbling nonsense words that sounded similar to a few choice ones I felt like saying. Then, I looked her in the face with what I knwe was an annoyed look and muttered, "Morning to you too." Trying to maybe get a laugh out of her, though really I was probably more trying my luck, I added, "Did you just want to see me so bad that you couldn't wait until I was actually up?" The blush in my cheeks never faded and I knew I probably looked like the biggest fool to her right now, but at least it meant it couldn't get any worse later. Or so I hoped. _________________________________________________________ Tags: Thundy | Words: 488
