CUDDLE CHOICES!

① SWEET DREAMS: It's been a long day and all you want to do is sleep or just rest your eyes for a bit. Hopefully whoever is close by doesn't mind if you use them as a blanket.
② STORMY WEATHER: The heavy rain, thunder and lightning won't be letting up anytime soon. Luckily, it's the perfect weather to stay indoors and snuggle up close and keep warm.
③ LAZY DANCER: It's the end of a party, or maybe it's only the two of you, but the tempo is slow and the lights are low. Let your dance partner take the weight and just sway.
④ SURPRISE ATTACK: Time to invade someone's personal space. Are they working too much and need a distraction? Maybe you just wanted to brighten their day. Either way, they won't see it coming.
⑤ MOVIE NIGHT: It can be on the sofa or in a darkened theater, but you've got your popcorn and someone to settle against during your favorite movie.
⑥ I LOVE YOU, MAN: It's totally platonic, really. You're just very good friends, no matter what people like to think. But you just love your friend so much you want to hug them, whether they like it or not.
⑦ JEEPERS CREEPERS: Welp. You were just frightened. Was it a spider in the washroom, a ghost in the attic, a bad dream? Either way, you're looking for someone to cling to right now, and who better than that person right there?
⑧ HURT AND COMFORT: Whether you're sick in bed, just been dumped or suffered a traumatic event, you need someone to wrap their arms around you and make everything go away.
⑨ SUNDAY MORNING: Maybe you just had a wild night. Maybe there’s just not enough space at your place and you need to share your bed. Or maybe you just got really tired and someone else happened to be there. Doesn't matter because now the person with you looks way more comfortable than any blanket or pillow. Drape to your heart’s content.
⑩ MOMENT AFTER: You just had incredible, vigorous sex (playing out is totally optional) and if you weren't a cuddler before, you are now. You're probably too exhausted to do anything else anyway. Just enjoy the moment.
⑪ MÉNAGE À TROIS: Or four, or five. Get a group and cuddle away.
⑫ PLAYER'S CHOICE: Pick one yourself or make up your own!

[Haymitch fixes her with a look- it's equal parts sardonic and tired. Yes, things were supposed to get better. Like they were supposed to get better years ago when he won the second Quarter Quell and brought some glory to District Twelve and maybe drag it out of being a second-rate district, when the only thing that came of it was give him that little taste of rebellion and make him hate the Capitol more for the consequences that had. Or when he actually managed to mentor two brilliant (like hell he'd admit that- Katniss didn't need that kind of leverage) children out of the arena and then manipulated a girl into becoming a revolution's best hope. Yes, things were supposed to get better.

But the history books have never lied. If things were supposed to get better, Panem might never have existed.]

Katniss. [His tone manages to hide any traces of sympathy, any traces of paternal feelings he may or may not have, buried under the usual layer of acerbic snark.] When did you get so optimistic?

[ That look is simultaneously making her hackles rise and convincing her that perhaps she shouldn't have come here after all. While the very presence of another person - a familiar and human presence at that; Buttercup was plenty familiar but he lacked the skill of giving her a drink and then driving her to drink it through dry, hurtful humor - was comforting, if he was just going to make fun of her, it might have been more emotionally advantageous to stay at home and suffer in silence. ]

[ ... No, most likely not. But it was good to think she had the alternative. ]

... Shut up. [ Katniss rebukes after a moment's thought, complete with sucking on her teeth and raising the cup to her mouth. ]

I didn't.

[ One does not simply 'become optimistic' - not after war and war games. She could drown her optimism in drink just as successfully as you, Haymitch; just watch as she takes a good mouthful of wine instead of further defending herself. ]

[Haymitch snorts.] Clever. [Like most people who've lived long enough to take nothing for granted, very little out of Haymitch's mouth when he was at his most comfortable (not sober enough to be insane and not drunk enough to be passing out in his own sick) was pointless. He rarely said things to be cruel and when he did, he took the time to realize it. Katniss got comfort and senseless hope from Peeta. From him? She got reality. She needed both.]

Good. [He half smirks] Then I should probably tell you there's not even enough alcohol in that to get your cat drunk. Just in case. [He takes another pull from his own bottle. No one ever said that Haymitch made good company, but he was just frustrating enough to distract from the night terrors.]
