After All These Years | Finnick Odair x Reader

THG Masterlist / Taglist / Inbox

Summary: You think he no longer cares, and he thinks you're better off without him. But the reaping for the 75th hunger games puts a dent in both of those thoughts

Content Warnings/Tags: Angst, fluff, enemies to lovers, insinuations of smut, kissing, once again not proofread

Requested by @rottingpeache: absolutely need to see enemies to lovers with finnick. “I really don’t like you.” “And I really don’t believe you.”

Word Count: 1k

A/N: No clue if this is actually enemies to lovers or just a poor attempt at it. I'm gonna go take a nap now but there is more coming cause the requests sparked something in me again so thank you to everyone who sent them!!

None of you had expected it to happen, how could you? But you've learned by now there is no point in fighting it either. So when you heard Mags’ name being called out and you volunteered in her stead, you suppose it was simply out of habit. In a world like this, the only thing that makes you feel like you are surviving is helping others do the same thing. As you stepped forward you could see the cameras zooming in on your face, trying to capture every expression you were making. You saw the cameras do the same for Finnick. Years of being in an unwelcome spotlight had made his poker face almost unbreakable, but the small furrow of his eyebrows and the twitch in his gallant smile told you everything you needed to know.

It wasn't until the next day that he first spoke to you. Over the years you would see each other, of course, you would talk. But at all the events and all the parties you did nothing more than exchange pleasantries. But now he came out of your peripheral vision and cornered you against the wall behind you with his broad arms.

“What were you thinking, this might be the stupidest thing you've ever done.” His demeanour seemed angry, he seemed serious. But you had no reason to match it, you just wanted to get under his skin like he got under yours.

“Be careful what you say, you might actually be the stupidest thing I’ve done.” you wondered if he remembered, if he remembered the night you had spent together so many years ago, it had been the best night of your life, and you had no idea if he even remembered. If he did, he didn't let it show.

“Did you even think it through? You survived the arena once, and only barely, what makes you think you’ll make it out alive again.” His voice was a low rasp, and if you didn't know better, you'd say he sounded upset. But you knew better, Finnick had shown you his true colours when he started avoiding you, and you did remember that.

“I wasn't thinking, how could I? All I could think about was Mags having to go through it all again, you more than anyone else know she deserves better.” you were looking him in the eyes now, and it took all of your willpower not to melt. “My games weren’t that long ago, I did it then and I’m still here, I can do it again.” He stepped closer to you, eliminating the remaining space between your bodies, his chest against yours, and you could feel his heart skip a beat as he spoke.

“Exactly, I was there, and it damn near broke me too. I was there to piece you back together. But I won’t watch it happen to you again, I can’t let it happen. Because what if I’m not there this time, what if I'm not there to put you back together.” There was a stark contrast between his face and his voice. As you looked at him you saw his eyes soften, and it gave you a glimpse of the Finnick you once knew. But his voice was still filled with anger, and it snapped you back to reality.

“And how would you know what I can and cannot handle.” You were challenging him now, but he had you matched.

“Because I know you. Even if you don’t believe so, I know what youre like, I know how you think. You might believe I forgot, that I ignore you and go on with my life as if nothing happened. But if you were to actually think for one second you would see that I’m simply doing what's best for you, I just want what’s best for you but now you’ve gone and ruined all of it in one day. 

You’re at a loss for words, because maybe he was right, maybe you had gone and messed up everything with a single sentence at the reaping. But maybe everything was finally making a turn for the better, because for the first time, he was telling you he cared. And you’re thankful to finally see his thoughts shine through, but you’re overwhelmed too. So you turn around, you turn away from him, wanting to escape the confrontation. Except he’s not letting you go, not this time

“I really don’t care what you think Finnick.” You weren’t sure if you believed your own words, but you needed to get away from him.

“And I really don’t believe you.” You tried shrugging him off again, and you were about to turn away from him when you felt him grab onto your arm and pull you into him. As you looked up you could feel his eyes fixed on yours.

And so you do the only thing you can think of, you do the thing you want most in this moment right here, you kiss him. You tell yourself that consequences be damned, because even if he will hate you for it, even if you’ll regret it later, at least you have this one moment to get yourself through it, at least you didn't let your fears of losing him completely win this time.  You kiss him as if everything will be okay, because when you feel his lips start to move in sync with yours, it is. 

For a moment you think everything will resolve itself and you and Finnick can live together in a small house near the beach. For a moment you forget how much you hate him for everything he put you through. Because in this moment, if life could be like this moment, you’d forgive him for all of it. And you don't know it yet, but he’s even more scared than you are.

huge ew at all the people who erase the bisexuality of the bg3 companions. they aren't "playersexual," they aren't "gay coded" or "lesbian coded," there are MANY instances of them expressing romantic and/or sexual interest in other characters of varying genders. and not just your tav. it's not a suggestion, it's part of who they are no matter who your tav is.

#bg3 #thoughts about media #you can obviously see certain companions have a preference #which is a normal thing for any bisexual to have! #and it's equally as normal for a bisexual to have no preference! #but astarion clearly favouring men doesn't make him gay #karlach having flirtatious interactions with shadowheart doesn't make her a lesbian #gale being terribly hung up on his ex girlfriend doesn't make him straight #bisexual means a whole array of different expressions of attraction to all genders #it doesn't just mean whatever halsin has going on lmao #and that's not to say i'm against companions in games like these being gay/lesbian/straight #but that's NOT what bg3 did

hey how many of the foxes do you think have mugshot photos

like andrew and aaron for sure.

probably renee with her gang history.

im feeling inclined to say that neil would have gotten one taken after the baltimore incident and the only reason he didn’t was because he was hospitalized directly afterwards and then offered witness protection.

i feel like allison probably like vandalized shit when she was younger to spite her parents but they never cared and paid it all off before she ever actually got arrested so no mugshot there.

kevin absolutely not.

i feel like dan has been involved in a tussle or two that may have ended in police intervention but she is also Fast so they never catch her.

matt i’d say maaayyybbeee but also like dan i think if the police ever showed up to arrest him he would be Fast and also Good At Hiding but it’d be like a 50/50 chance.

seth would be the same as matt i think tbh. like yanno that one john mulaney skit with that guy who threw a bottle on the floor and yelled “scatter!!” when the police showed up? that’s seth. idk if he’ll get away but he WILL cause a scene and that’s what we’re here for baby!!

anyways all this to say: do you think fans ever print out their mugshots and put them on posters to wave around at their games? do you think the foxes have printed out their mugshots and taped them up on the photo wall? discuss.

#thinking of this bc my brother has Frank Sinatras? i think? mugshot printed onto a poster and hung in our basement #and i think it’d be kinda funny #andrew minyard #aaron minyard #renee walker #neil josten #allison reynolds #kevin day #dan wilds #matt boyd #seth gordon #tfc #aftg #the foxhole court #all for the game #the foxes

so. I'm fishing on the dock near Willy's shop right? And it's roughly 6pm. And who do I see, on their merry way back home from ginger island?

All. Six. Bachelors.

Alex, Sam, Harvey, Elliott, Sebastian, Shane, and NO ONE ELSE. like... were they having a boys day? Throwing the gridball around in the sand?

...are they a polycule? Was this their whole-polycule-date?

Literally WHAT are the odds of this happening, I would love to know.

#Shit just keeps happening in this game and I just gotta roll with it #I saw Sam and Alex come out the shop & I'm like 'oh I didn't know they went and hung out with Willy sometimes' #Then Harvey came out. Then everyone else. #sdv sam #sdv alex #sdv harvey #sdv shane #sdv sebastian #sdv elliott #This is the same file that inspired my oc & where I accidentally gave Willy bug meat on his birthday. #& where I keep seeing gil and marlon at the movies. #Also I once accidentally set off a bomb near linus on this file I think #Hence why said oc is related to Mr. Qi of all people. #He just keeps doing/ witnessing Stuff™️ #Sdv #stardew valley

ENOUGH about steph and jason’s parallels as the dead robins, where is all the meta about dick and steph as the two ‘failed’ robins who were fired

#dick grayson #stephanie brown #batfam #batman #in a world where all the war games shit wasn’t happening do you think he called her. #do you think she ignored him and hung up. #do you think he drove to her house and sat outside until she was ready to talk. #do you think he took her out for ice cream. #do you think he told her it wasn’t her fault. #do you think he said i know how it feels to not be enough. #do you think he said i Created it and i still wasn’t enough. #do you think she let him rub her back while she cried into her ice cream cone. #do you think??

your everlark art is so cute! per your last post, here's a request: would you consider….modern au, famous singer katniss? maybe the Mockingjay being her stage name

I typically don't read any type of modern au's but this was fun!! A variety of outfits because I couldn't for the life of me figure out what kind of music she would make

#i really liked making this and laying it out #still kinda messy but i didnt want to get hung up on it #i hope you like it!! #katniss everdeen art #katniss everdeen #thg #my art #mine #artists on tumblr #modern au #thg au #thg art #the hunger games fanart #answered #request #its times like this where having a reference who is in fact a singer comes in clutch

Not sure if you've done this before but Jimmy and Martyn having a picnic with stuffed animals :3 /nf

Day 407- I don’t know enough about fnaf to make a good pic out of it, I hope you don’t mind I combined it with another one. (And misremembered picnic as tea party)

#Whoops #my relationship with fnaf is really weird actually #I had a friend from 2nd to 5th grade and horror games were her favorite thing especially fnaf. And I was terrified of it #Still she was one of my best friends and I would watch her play whatever game she had on the bus coming home from school #Until 3rd grade when she introduced me to my best friend for the next 3 or so years and I hung out with her on the bus instead #So I was just scared of horror games for a while #UNTIL I DISCOVERED IMPULSESV AND THE JITS PHASMOPHOBIA #Eventually evolving into GIGGS #I think fnaf led me to my phasmo love basically #I still don’t know very much about the game. All I knew was dark and murder and animal. I learned more when the movie came out obviously #Buuuut im not confident enough in my knowledge to make something good #daily-pp #asks

#on the gourgeist post‚ when i clicked Add to queue‚ tumblr just Hung for a solid two minutes until i refreshed the page #and then i checked the queue and it was already queued up anyway. but the page reloaded all weird and looked like for a split second #some posts from my dash had entered the queue. so in lieu of this Being A Website‚ i'm gonna leave that post where it is and hope the queue #has not been contaminated #anyway i thought this thing was gen 8 because that was the first place i saw it. which is weird because i'm the big gen 6 proponent #but i guess i just never saw this one when i played pokémon X as a kid #inb4 someone is like. yeah it's pokémon Y exclusive. like what happened with spritzee #naw bulbapedia says it's not. i was just bad at video games i guess. or it's a rare spawn or something. or i just got unlucky #bergmite #however the pokédex entries seem to suggest it has gotten two (2) degrees warmer since generation 8 #from gen 6 to gen 8 the dex entries stated it used air of -150ºF #but now in gen 9 the dex entry states it's only -148ºF #climate change is affecting even the bergmite. what has this world come to

flowisk makes my brain buzz. It’s about how Flowey is “why do you still care about me? I am not that person you sought. They are dead in the ground, their corpse long gone, dust adrift in the wind. I am a mistake. A remnant accidentally brought to life. The only connection I have to that person are memories I can barely recognize as my own.” And Frisk is “b/c you’re a cutie patootie (When I was saving you I wasn’t aiming for one part. You counted as well for a remnant is still a part of him. And despite everything even if you aren’t you are still you)”

not that i disagree on the "frisk being dead set on saving/caring for flowey" aspect, but I think you're really lowballing the "self recognition through the other (derigatory)" aspect they've got going on.

i mean, you see flowey being revived and taking control of RESETs and going through this gnarly endless cycle of repetition where he wallows in his own trauma and regrets, growing isolated from his loved ones with every retry and idolizing his memory of chara as a comfort to the alienation he caused himself...

and then here comes frisk. who is perhaps the only person who could ever understand what he's gone through. what if MEANS to have that power, to use it, to abuse it, to retry a thousand times, who FEELS like chara.

and they absolutely fucking infuriate him. stupid, ridiculous, gullible, painfully unpredictable frisk. who calls for help and people come running. who kills him (or maybe they don't) and then reached for him all the same and calls his name. who is so determined it drowns him out. how can he not get a little bit obsessed.

i think flowey is the only character who can truly understand frisk, and frisk is the only character who can truly understand flowey. they should be lil freaks together about it methinks

#i am considering giving them a situationship in daemoverse #a key part of frisk's conflict is that after chara didn't follow them out of the underground they were extremely hung up on them #in a way that was painfully familiar to flowey #after everything they've been through i could see them growing close through that shared pain #also flowey is bored as hell and frisk's investigative work gives him an outlet to stretch his game secrets finding muscles #answered asks #flowisk #undertale #flowey #frisk

[10:35 PM]

you quickly walk over and wrap your arms around nico as he gets home from his game. feeling his body sag against yours as he leans in for a tight hug, holding you close like he's afraid you could disappear at any moment. 

"hey baby," you whisper as he relaxes a bit against you. you know that all he needs is your love and support in this moment.

“you know i’m proud of you no matter what. no matter what happens on the ice you’re still my number one.”

you can feel him take a deep breath, his face buried in your neck.

“no matter what happens i know how talented you are, the team and your fans know it too. you’re an incredible player and an incredible leader. you always give it your all on the ice, you play amazingly and that doesn’t go unnoticed.”

a silence falls between you run your fingers through his hair, feeling him relax even more as you do.

“i wish i could take away all your pain. i wish there was more i could do for you. i'm sorry my love.” you sigh.

he looks up at you, his big, glossy eyes meeting yours, and you can see the tiredness etched on his face. he holds your face gently with his hands, his fingers tracing the lines of your cheeks as he looks deeply into your eyes. he leans in and plants a soft, slow kiss on your lips, and then rests his forehead against yours. the heaviness of his chest eases as he takes in your words.

"i love you."

"i love you more," you respond as you both stand there, holding onto each other tightly.

“persona 5 protagonist isn’t gay”

to you. i romanced no women and purposefully chose the gayest answers i could because he’s gay to me

#in my game i play him as a semi-closeted gay guy #like he copies ryuji’s mannerisms during cutscenes where they’re looking at the girls #but that’s just how I play the game everyone plays it differently #i also hung out with the guys more #and by guys i mean akechi #persona 5 #akira kusuru #ren amamiya #p5 joker #akeshu #shuake
