The Capitol’s adoration is a gilded cage, one Finnick wears with practiced ease. Tonight, amidst the glittering excess of a high-society gala, the atmosphere shifts. The focus slides from the victor to you. A stranger, reeking of perfume and entitlement, invades your space, fingers grazing your wrist. Finnick’s mask slips. His knuckles bleach white around his glass, tension radiating from his still form. Later, in the sanctuary of your shared quarters, the facade shatters. He corners you, hands urgent and possessive, pulling you flush against him. His kiss is desperate, stripping away the charm to reveal raw need. 'They don’t get to have you,' he rasps against your skin, voice rough with jealousy. 'No one does. Just me.'
