My words hit like a sword. Iron heart, cold words and an even colder meaning; Three stays put when I tell him the extent of the problem that has been nurtured back at home. Murder is my speciality, as much as I hate it -- and I hate it a lot, I hate the fact that I'll have to use it in a few days time.
I hate the fact it could be him being sent to the underworld.
I hate the fact I would be the one who caused it.
"Good guess, that's the last thing I want." He says. Survival was a given, but the Capitol are going to do their best to steal it away from him, from us when we are sent to war. They will hold their guns, blazing, human skin is no defence for a bullet of blackmail.
Mind spinning, it only slows when the boy laughs in the night. Breaking the dusk and morphing it into a steady dawn; it provides some light in the frail darkness. "Besides, why rush? You only have to wait a few days and then you can end bad boys like me for good on live television where the whole country can see it."
But -- I don't want to. He raises an eyebrow and I'm not willing to turn my heart inside out for him; shout my feelings from the rooftop and into his ear, to cry my worries into his arms because his arms belong to a person who is just a number.
"Would it be too much to ask for your name? I'd much rather if the girl who ended me was more than just a pretty face."
Name or number, both are set to merge soon enough.
"You can call me Lux." I tell him, lips pressing together to form an awkward smile.
"You can tell me your name, if you like. But I'll remember you as the bad boy from the hallway from now on."
It's easier to forget names in moments of madness like this. It's easier to sever than it is to hold on, and even though I've been holding on for ages, for far too long, letting go shows far greater power.
I need to accept what this is, take it at face value and have faith in what will be.
Bad boy meets bad girl; faith in the danger.[ dars ]
