Thread: Hope is the Only thing Stronger than Fear |||| Randomname and Horror_Show

It was an odd relief to be ushered inside of the train. Once the doors closed, all the noise was drained out and Kolton tightly gripped Katniss hand while leaning his chin on her shoulder. His other arm wrapped around her waist and held her with a gentle touch, ignoring Effies blabbering behind the couple. Letting out a trembling breath, Kolton let his hand run through his hair quickly, ruffling it up a bit. Never having been on the train, the quick acceleration startled him, causing him to grab onto one of the couches beside of him. Traveling between districts was restricted unless it was for some kind of official, sanctioned duties. Participating in The Hunger Games seemed to fall under that category. Kolton learned in school that these trains possessed a high speed of 250 miles per hour and the journey to the Capitol would not even take a full day. They were told it was built in the place called the Rockies, on the other side of Panem from Appalachia, where District Twelve was. This information wasn't something that interested Kolton. All children were forced to hear a weekly lecture about the Capitol, its history, and other boring, irrelevant and awful things about the country's history. The tribute train happened to be even more fancy than the room in the Justice Building. The tall, strong, declared boy could only wonder how the Capitol would look. Each tribute was given their own chambers, bedroom, a dressing area, and a private bathroom with both running hot and cold water according to Effie. Hot water was never something Kolton had access to back home. She went on another little rave about the fascinating clothes they had access to in the drawers to do whatever they wanted with it. Everything is at their disposal, they just need to be ready for supper. Effie was completely oblivious to the situation still, just going through her normal speech to her new tributes before leaving them alone in an effort to locate their mentor, Haymitch Abernathy. Finally alone, Kolton released Katniss for only a moment just so he could spin Katniss around to face him. A large hand started tangling in her hair so her up-do was released and her brunette hair was falling down her back in beautiful waves. His fingers twisted around to twist all the knots out and somewhat straighten out her locks. Looking into her gray eyes, it broke Koltons heart to see her eyes all red and the tears on her cheeks literally broke Koltons heart. Oh, how he wished to stop this mess! In the past, he could always get Katniss to stop crying or stop feeling sad when she was feeling down and depressed. In this situation though, he was completely powerless and there was not a single thing he could do to help himself or Katniss. This was the situation they were in and nothing could change it though Kolton wished that he could. It was so fucked. Both of his large, toned arms wrapped around Katniss body and pulled her into a tight hug again. Tilting his head slightly, he pressed a soft kiss to her lips and only let it last for a couple minutes to keep it chaste and sweet. Clearly, there was so much that the young couple needed to discuss but Kolton was in no mood for it right now. Effie would collect them for dinner within a few hours from now. In between then and now, they had access to showers and clothing, something that was scarce back home. Kolton figured they might as well make the most of it and not spend all their time worrying and being sad. They might be headed to their death but right now they were safe for the time being. They needed to make the most of their time together. Regardless of who wins and who loses, one thing was a fact Their time together was running low and Kolton wanted to spend every single second he could with the love of his life. I think we should check out the bedrooms. We could shower together. The blonde male suggested and linked their arms together before walking through the narrow corridors until they reached the bedroom cars. Two rooms were side by side and exactly the same other than male clothing in one closet and female clothing in another. They just decided to head into what would be Katniss bedroom to get started. Ones thing for sure though, they were not sleeping in separate beds tonight. Kolton would not spend another second away from Katniss during this trip and that was a given. Once inside, the boy closed the door for some privacy and finally released Katniss. The bedroom was massive and so was the bathroom. It contained both a stand-up shower and a large bathtub. He had always wanted to bathe with Katniss but they obviously never had any kind of resources to do so. Back in District 12, Kolton really enjoyed venturing to the Hob. One of his favorite purchases were reading material. Hardly any books remained legal in Panem but Kolton loved to read and learn about all he could. One of the books he read involved sex and other things which was how he knew what to do with Katniss and why he liked the things he did. Another book was about couples and things to do as couples. He once read about showering together was a very intimate and romantic thing so it was always a big fantasy of his. Fantasy because he never thought it would be possible. I love you, Katniss. Come here. We do have to talk about everything but can we just wait? Lets shower and change clothes then eat dinner. We can talk about everything tonight. Kolton whispered and allowed the girl to be pulled tight against his chest again. While he hugged her, he worked on undoing the back of her dress so it was easy and ready to fall off her body. Another kiss was pressed to her cheek and then to her jaw bone. Kolton was trying his very damn hardest to stop this sad feeling and trying to make Katniss feel a little better. He had no idea what the next few days would pertain but he hoped that with Katniss with him, he could figure out a way to survive these days.
