Sawamura Eijun/Takigawa Chris Yuu (daiya no ace)

“They faced what the morning would bring with the only weapon they had–their love for each other. Love is great, love is the foundation of nobility, it conquers obstacles and is a deep well of truth and strength.”

― Gerda Weissmann Klein, All But My Life: A Memoir

hunger games/catching fire au otherwise, no tags! (it's a really tame hunger games au lol)

lmao hannah your prompts always inspire me to go for hunger games aus?? thank u for unintentionally letting me live my dreams

In the past, had this happened earlier, had it happened pre-Eijun, well, Chris might not have cared how it ended. Survival would have been something he wanted, but not of the utmost importance because back then he had nothing to hope for, nothing to live for. Nothing to make the hell that he'd been living in since winning the Games years ago anything but that.

But now, now it's different. Eijun stepped into his life in not the most ideal or typical way--as a tribute volunteering for a friend chosen, a naive and idealistic tribute Chris would mentor through the Hunger Games that year. He'd had no expectations for Eijun to win--he never had expectations for any of them to win--and the last thing Chris had expected was for Eijun to be the one to make it through, for Eijun to be the one who kicked down the walls around his heart.

They've grown close, slowly, over time since then--starting when they first met, his first glance at Eijun when he stepped onto that stage, and continuing until after his victory. And Eijun has awakened a feeling that Chris once thought was long gone: hope. He'd brought much needed light back into Chris' life, into his eyes.

And all along, it's been Eijun standing in front of him, as patient as he can get, like he's calling out here i am! here i am, chris-senpai.

there you are, Chris thinks later, when he's realized that Sawamura Eijun is an irreplaceable and valuable part of his life now, when the lines between friendship and companionship have blurred into more than that, bled into love.

Now, that they've both been reaped as victors for this new twisted version of the Games, he's got something to fight for. Something to protect.

"Let's go," Eijun will say, marching off in the direction they need to after Chris tells him a plan. They'll come up with something, then execute it perfectly because of this trust they have in each other.

They know that together, they can do anything. Even though each passing moment in these Games, each morning they wake up and start again has even more odds stacked against them.

Chris will catch Eijun's hand in his own, squeeze it tightly right before they move to take on the Career alliance, head to head, toe to toe. you'd better come back. please make it back, the gesture saying all it needs to without Chris having to say those words aloud.

Eijun smiles at him, just as bright as always even in this situation. It's the same smile Chris fell in love with, that he'll never stop loving. He squeezes Chris' hand, his answer. you know i will. you too, okay?

The odds might be stacked against them, the chances of getting to the end slim, and being allowed to win together? Even slimmer. But somehow they'll get out of this. Somehow they'll manage.

As long as they have each other to trust and love and stand by each other's sides? That's the greatest weapon they can have in all this.

UMMMMM??? FIGHT ME HEIDI???? :'))))

hi hannah :')))

BYE HEIDI :'))))
