DEAR BEAST,   SCAR MY SKIN,   HEAL MY HEART.

@providae birthday drabble.

               she’s spent the last twenty minutes SPLASHING quite gleefully in the lukewarm water, water jumping out of the small tub to drip against wonky wooden floors as the three year old is bathed by her eldest brother. there’s something about bath time, despite it meaning she’ll have to sleep after, that makes it one of posy’s favourite things to do. her GIGGLES light up the room, chin resting against the side as gale sets about washing her hair and saving her eyes from the evil soap that stings! but he’s sure to have a difficult time with all her squirming  ------

               and though the endless fun in the bath delights her young soul, the best part of the cleaning process is when gale envelops her skinny little body in the worn towel, her own arms hugging it tightly to her body as the chilly air sets in. the baby of the family shares a brilliantly warm smile with her brother as he drains the tub, bouncing a little in place because what comes next?  ❛  ------  ribbons!  ❜  the demand is followed up by a sing-song repeat of his name as he scoops her up and into the boys’ bedroom for her to dry, sat comfortably in his lap whilst he brushes dripping hair and begins the process of braiding it.

               she can hear the rest of the house bustling below, hear rory and vick bickering and their mother’s calming voice. there are days she wishes she got to stay up later like the rest of her siblings, but she TREASURES the moments before bed shared with gale. sleepy already, the soothing motion of his hands artistically weaving special ribbons into hair have eyes beginning to blink slowly with each passing minute. the entire process is slow from then on  :  her mumbled responses to his questions, guiding her body into swamping t-shirt, tucking her into bed for the night.

               things get just that little bit quieter once posy’s fallen asleep, the rest of the hawthorne household following suit in their own time, but even by the time gale’s heading to bed, posy’s still got the spare handful of ribbons bunched together in her grasp, clutched preciously to her chest as she sleeps, resting PEACEFULLY thanks to her brother.

               curls of wet brunette strands drip slowly against oversized nightgown (  one of rory’s old shirts, in fact  ), dirt and scrapes of the day cleaned away and the smell of soap lingering against soft skin. she’s never been a child to kick up a fuss at bathing time  ;  she enjoys it immensely. the only downside is that is usually means it’s time for BED, and she hates to leave the rest of the family so early just because she’s the youngest. so she’s going to put it off until they force her up into bed by moving to settle next to her big brother on the sofa, hands tugging at his sleeve.

               ❛  ---------  gale, can you braid it? please?  ❜

            district 13 was still a mystery,  &&  it felt even MORE exposed  &  horrific than before because even though finnick was RELEASED from the medical wing  ( against the advice of many )  he was still the walking-wounded, the ticking BOMB, the brightly-colored bird with POISONOUS talons  &  clipped wings  &  squawks you couldn’t ignore. he stuck out in the GRAY world of thirteen, though he didn’t sparkle or gleam down below the earth. SCARS were visible after nearly a decade of stylists  &  prep teams’ exertions,  &&  there were lines  &  shadows around  &  under his eyes MAKEUP usually hid. he stumbled everywhere, rope twiddled in his SHAKING fingers. he knew people were STARING, so he didn’t look up. he slid onto a dining hall bench WITHOUT looking at his fellow occupant until a few seconds had passed.    ❛ you’re... you’re katniss’s FRIEND. gale... something. right? ❜

providae replied to your post:things to remember about posy !! she’s eight (...

ok emma i need u to Not

posy getting upset and confused when she realises she can’t hug him as tightly as she usually does or get a piggyback ride for quite some time as the wounds on his back heal!! posy waiting up and falling asleep on the sofa when gale has late shifts in the mines because she needs to know he got home safe!! posy having nightmares and crawling into bed beside her brothers!! posy getting told off by gale for repeating things she’s heard from him about the capitol and snow because he doesn’t want her to get into trouble!! posy never feeling safer then when she’s with her eldest brother!! posy sitting in his lap during the bombings in thirteen!! posy sobbing her heart out when they think all those in star squad are dead, terrified she’ll never see her brother again!! posy feeling so hurt and betrayed and devastated that he won’t be returning to twelve with them because she doesn’t know how to live day to day without gale around!!

& @providae !

               he’s home to help pack up memories, amidst the clothes and school supplies. excitement bubbles within, pure and vibrant in nature, but it’s censored some by the growing build up of nerves. she leaves TOMORROW. they’re all here to see her off in the morning, to help her settle in to her college, her new home, and posy is overwhelmingly sad as gale helps her shut the suitcase.

               ❛  can i tell you a secret?  ❜  nothing that can really be defined as a secret, but she’s one to bottle up negative feelings behind joyful facade, because she wants to focus on the good. but she’s leaving, and there’s no way around it. she’s going to be living some place else tomorrow night, away from her FAMILY, away from her boyfriend and best friend. with her eldest brother the only one in the room, she feels comfortable enough to share.
