❝  no,  we’ll do this together.  ❞ - Io and Annie

@damagedflames

io will never be able to properly convey just how much annie means to her--how their friendship helped pull io out of that darkness that threatened to overtake so many victors. how reassuring it was to know that, no matter what happened, annie would be there for her. just like io always had her back. it had been that way ever since they met all those years ago--thick as thieves these two. io grins as they read the signing, moving to lightly bump her shoulder against annie's. 'you're husband's going to be mad at me for stealing you away again. me and you against the world, right?' she rests her head against annie's shoulder, 'i wouldn't have it any other way.'

when it was time for district three's reaping, io just thanked every lucky star that solara's name wasn't pulled--even the idea of having to send her daughter into that arena made her entire chest ache. but finding out that gill had been reaped? and then watching as finnick volunteered to go in alongside him?

she couldn't even begin to imagine what annie was going through.

there's a light knock against the doorframe io was leaning against--there were sponsors to charm but that could wait for now. there is a cup in each hand, one that is waved in the air with a soft smile before io sets it in front of annie, her own cup set close by. 'i'm pretty sure i remembered your drink order this time so...hopefully i didn't get it wrong.' she pauses, 'do you want to talk or would you rather i just sit with you?' the implication was clear--io wasn't about to leave annie alone.
