Ten years after you won the 74th Hunger Games with Peeta, during a brief trip to the Capitol, you meet someone.
A very old someone, changed in many ways, his once energetic self now morose. /But Caesar Flickerman is still alive./
"Flickerman," you say, unsure. After all, you were sure that he had died during the rebellion, but you're sort of glad that he didn't; that's one less person, even if a Capitolite, dead.
"And our lovely Katniss Everdeen."
You aren't sure if he's trying to mock you or not, and don't want to risk asking. "How did you survive?" you ask instead, wanting to keep his attention focused on you.
"Why don't we talk in my apartment, Miss Everdeen," he replies, walking with you to a modern-looking apartment building. Well, …show more content…
"Are you suggesting something?"
"Hm?" He asks, feigning disinterest, but you're pretty sure his mind is on something, rather, someone else. You've spent enough time around both Peeta and Gale to know.
You follow him as the elevator doors open, and go into his apartment. "You play trumpet?" You ask, surprised.
"What did you think I do in my free time, Miss Everdeen?"
"Please, call me Katniss." But you aren't sure what he did in his free time, and now, as you look around the living room, at the trumpet box in the corner (you only know that because Peeta wanted to learn, but you vetoed it, ha!), at the feathery couch.
He notices you eyeing his couch. "It's a very comfortable couch, you know," he takes that suggestive tone again, and you feel your cheeks begin to blush.
"No, thank you. It seems a little... too... feathery." Realizing that you've let him steer the conversation, you try to get it back on track. "How are you even alive?"
He merely shrugs. "Hope and desire for someone, who I think feels it back." He winks, some of his old energetic personality and charisma coming back.
You glare at him automatically, but it seems to pass straight through, as he's too busy looking you over to care. You're disgusted, he's at least twenty years older than
