Ellie stands in the middle of her dorm as she watches Avery clear her things onto her desk and nightstand. While she's up she takes the opportunity to finally click on her tower fan, standing near while Avery chides her about her carelessness.

For a minute, they swap spots, she moves to stand beside her bed, him now near her door. She's hops up onto the bed, doesn't yet lay down, her legs dangle over the edge as she looks at him.

"I can take care of myself," she protests, I'm not helpless she thinks. She has for years, Ellie learned early on not to rely on others what meds to take and alternative solutions to many common ailments. She just hadn't the energy today, but she did have the belief that she'd get through it on her own eventually. She isn't his responsibility.

"And you are not going to skip class just because I'm sick," she adds, giving him a stern look.

Avery disapproves, and it’s apparent on his face, but he chooses not to escalate his annoyance at her dedication to not resting. “Get back in bed, and you need to eat more than that. I eat more in one bite than you have all day. I’ll order us pizza or something,” he says and shakes out her blanket. He carefully pulls it out evenly and smooths a couple creases, then stacks up her pillows. He pulls the blanket back and points, “come on!”

He finally shifts to kick his shoes off at the door and hangs his coat on one of her door hooks. “I’m also not going to a class tomorrow if you’re still sick. I can’t have your body failing on me because you didn’t have anyone to help you.”

Ellie works on getting those mugs out of the box, placing them on the counter for now, placing the empty box on the floor gives her more counter space. She gives him a nod to conform she'd heard him. She grabs a utensil holder from another box and starts placing the forks, knives, and spoons inside. Her silverware is less of a set, more so just whatever she'd found at thrift stores over time.

As she arranges their things she wonders what kind of use this kitchen will get. Who'll want to cook more? If they'll cook together or even eat dinner at the same time... It's hard to imagine sitting at the kitchen table with him like a normal couple, sharing how their days went over a home-cooked meal. Her gaze glides from the table to him before she focuses back on her own task.

"Sure is," she agrees, "My apartment was barely bigger than the room you're in," she adds. In the next box she pulls out her crock-pot out from a small pile of towels, she figures the little appliance can go into a higher cupboard since its unlikely to be used on a daily basis. The blonde takes a few steps to the dining room, looking in Lucas' direction as he speaks up. "I mean, it's not totally my taste for decor but if you're talking about the actual statues, I think it'd be nice to see them in real life," she explains. "What about you?" she adds as she grabs a chair to use as a makeshift stepstool to reach the higher shelves in the cupboards.

“Of course.” Despite Lucas being accustomed to his point-A-to-point-B kind of work ethic — and the most elaborate of schemes — he isn’t actually too particular about his most personal space. At the end of it all, he only needs a bed and a small space to keep his most treasured possessions, the sum of which amount to a single, metal tin. “Let me know if you need anything moved in there.”

Unlike most other cases, the offer isn’t borne out of distrust. That may be normal instinct, but it won’t do well now, not when they’re meant to rely on one another for safety. In that, Lucas swallows his pride, his over-independence, and keeps to himself, padding into the living room with a box full of items that had been provided. He decides he’ll begin unpacking there.

Books, little statues, and a simple vase. All items he’s never seen before, and yet all details for the larger facade. “This place is bigger than I was expecting.” For so long, he’s been accustomed to whatever small room he can find. “Are you into this…” He lifts up a particularly weighty recreation of the Easter Island moai. “—This?” Breaking ice and configuring their home. Two birds, one stone.

Mun vs Muse!

[sarcaasmic]

As he steps forward, she doesn't move, makes no effort to increase their distance again. Her fingers twitch ever so slightly, she wants to hold his wrist there, to lean into him.

"No," she shakes her head to reassure him, "No," she repeats herself. She wants to make it clear that these feelings she has aren't because of Trent. He's been so great actually and she hates having these second thoughts, hates how she's making him feel in this moment. What they have is nothing like her past relationships she just needs to get herself to be comfortable with believing that.

"I just... I'm not used to-," she tries to find the right words to express her thoughts, "this...". She takes a breath, "I think I'm scared... that what we have is too good to be true, I don't know, I'm sorry," she's working off that initial bought of anxiety she'd had that started this talk, the emotions that made those words spill from her mouth about needing a break. He's bringing her back down, so she lets a little of those anxious thoughts out, knowing that he's not her ex, he'll listen.

Trent's more careful with Ellie than he's been with anyone else in his entire life. Looking at her he feels his heart breaking all over again, because she looks so concerned, like, really distraught. Trent takes a tentative step forward and the space between them feels thick with unresolved tension, like he's wading through quicksand. Still, he reached out and as gently as he can, presses with the peak of his knuckle a tear that had started to form. He doesn't want either of them to cry.

And it stings, a little, to know that she's scared. And he's knows it's not of him, but this, head-first, knee-deep, the only way he's ever known how to behave around anyone he's in love with. "Am I, like, doin' too much?" He asks, because he can change. Be anything she wants him to be, to be with her.

[sarcaasmic]

open to -> anyone (mutuals and non-mutuals)

fandom/au -> the hunger games

plot -> It’s the third quarter quell, inspired by last year’s game involving the death of the two love birds, the game-makers allow there to be two victors. The catch is that one’s partner is not from their own district and tributes will only find out who their partner is right before they’re placed in the arena. Our muses are paired together.

Ellie —the female tribute from district 10— stands atop her pedestal, her breaths quick and shaken, ears ringing. She’d heard the other tribute’s name before rising in the small elevator, the one she was meant to win with. The stranger she was meant to trust so that they could both get out of there alive. It wasn’t only a matter of trusting them though, they had to trust that the game makers wouldn’t take back their promise like last year. There had been outrage at the outcome of the 74th game, not a single child returned to their family, and there was no new addition for the capitol to control and fawn over. Maybe they wouldn’t take it back and this was some screwed-up apology to make up for it.

The blonde glances around the arena as the countdown began, in search of her partner. She’s debating between trying to get to them or trying to get some supplies and run. There are some supplies in the middle, but she hopes there is more hidden within the crumbling, moss-covered walls of the faux ancient city surrounding them.

LOVE & OTHER DRUGS (2010) dir. Edward Zwick

[sarcaasmic]

Ellie nods in agreement, shuts her trunk, and walks up the steps into their new home. She's glad they'd managed to get everything inside without being stopped by any neighbors. She'd given a polite smile to the older lady next door a few minutes ago but there'd been no further interaction.

Her own box isn't labeled but she takes a quick peak at the contents and finds some mugs buried in bubble wrap. So, to the kitchen she goes, setting the box gently on an empty part of the counter. She looks over to Lucas and gives a shrug, "I don't really have one," She'd moved from her dad's place to a dorm room then into an apartment so moving was different each time, not really comparable to moving into a house with a living room almost as big as her previous abode.

Ellie's happy to be reminded that they don't have to share a room. She was still a bit neutral toward Lucas, a little unsure, plus despite their marriage, he was a stranger. She smiles a little, "As long as that's okay," she is not about to refuse the opportunity to get the master bedroom.

Lucas is grateful that he doesn't have as many belongings as most. It only tracks; over a decade of flitting from identity to identity means that he's accustomed to living without roots. The circumstances now, however... Well, what else can he say? They're different.

For one, he isn't working alone.

"Let's head inside, then," he says, carrying a box marked as 'Kitchen' in his arms. He waits for her to walk ahead, and makes one final scan at their surroundings, long enough to be reassured that they're safe, yet not lingering, showcasing any doubt. When they're finally past the front door, he secures it and lets out a long breath. Okay. They can do this. He can do this. After all, aren't two heads better than one? "How would you like to start? I'm not sure if you have a system."

He does. Usually. Secure his tools first, then all of the normal items second. But this isn't so comparable to the career he's walked away from, and there's nothing more to hide, other than himself. "We're allowed to sleep in separate rooms. You can have the master, if you wish."

[sarcaasmic]

If Ellie's cheeks weren't already rosy, they sure would be after Avery presses the back of his hand to her face. She takes a couple quick steps back as he enters her room, lets the door fall shut as she turns to watch him check out the state of her room. She's generally a tidy person so it isn't too disorganized besides those papers he gathers from her schoolwork, though her beds a little disheveled from her tossing and turning.

"I had a granola bar," she answers honestly. "And some water," she adds with a nod to the almost-empty water bottle that sits on her nightstand, because even if she hadn't consumed much, she at least had that going for her. She'd lacked the energy to go to the cafeteria to get anything, so she'd settled for the snacks she kept in her nightstand.

She looks to her laptop when he questions her, "I was earlier, but I gave up," she explains. "Tried to get something done before I got worse," she shrugs. She'd gotten one assignment done before the pressure in her sinuses got to be too much. Luckily, this weekend wasn't assignment heavy for once.

Avery's face softens when he sees her. Her cheeks are tinted red, hair a mess, but god if she wasn't the prettiest woman he'd ever seen. Instinctively, his hand comes up to touch her cheek, both in need of closeness to her, but also to check her temperature. "You're burning up," he tells her without so much as a hello. "Come on," he ushers her back into room and follows. "Have you had anything to eat yet?"

He immediately begins tidying, even if it's not very good. He walks over and points to her laptop, "are you trying to study?" There's a disapproving look in his eyes as he grabs the laptop and closes it, then gently sets it on her nightstand. Next goes the papers scattered about, those get tucked neatly on top of her desk. "You need rest, Ellie, not schoolwork."
