I wouldn't dream of it. [ and he means it, for once. ]
The kind of sister who has been here longer than me and who may actually have friends here. And you know exactly the type of person I think you are. My much meaner half, remember. [ he's one hundred percent teasing and he drags out that last bit long enough to have her probably hear it in person versus hearing it over the phone. when he hears her voice he turns around and doesn't even waste a second before opening up his arms so she can hug him.
she's very lucky he wasn't planning on going anywhere. very lucky. ]
That'll teach you to take deals without me. [ he tries to keep his tone light before just causally lifting her up in the hug a little. ] I'm here now, okay? No need to miss me any more.
[ they haven't been separated more than a handful of times in their lives, and the head start she's gotten in Eudio is officially the longest. at least she hadn't been afraid to lose him this time, not like when she stayed awake for days on end to watch his Games. they're both safe now, safe they way they'd fought for and the way they deserve. she's missed everything about Gloss: the sound of his voice, the way he teases her, how she feels so much more like herself with him there. she breathes in deeply and lets it out again. he's right. no need to miss each other anymore or get too soppy about it.
Cashmere plants a kiss on his cheek before letting him go. ] No more deals without you. [ she hadn't meant it to be without him, but it'd been presented as her only option: leave him behind or say no and make peace with going to the arena. ] You'll forgive me when you see what I brought you. [ the first thing out of the bag is chocolate covered potato chips. ] It sounds weird but trust me.
[ there's a small part of him that's honestly bothered about the fact that she's had this much of a head start and that he hasn't been here with her. she was safe here just like he will be or would be once he settles in but— she's been experiencing this without him. even though there's that small part that bothers him, he thinks he'd take having her here over not having her here any day. it was bad enough not being able to share what happened after the Games, at least now they'll be able to share another thing with each other.
he scrunches up his face just a tad at her kiss, just to continue with the teasing even though he doesn't need to. ] Holding you to that. And you know I'll know. [ how he'll know is the question, but he can pretend he knows all about his twin if he wants to. it's what he's supposed to do as her brother. he almost responds and tells her that she doesn't know he'll forgive her before he sees the potato chips that just make him stare for a good few seconds. ] Chocolate covered potato chips. That's your— forgiveness food. It sounds like something the Capitol would die for.
[ and yet that doesn't stop him from casually grabbing them out of her hand and opening the bag and popping one right in his mouth. rude about food, thy name is gloss. ]
[ he doesn't need to say he's bothered. this isn't how they do things. together has always been better. it's why she arrogantly followed him into the arena and then unknowingly followed him into the darkest parts of the Capitol. some days she follows him around their house(s) in the victors village. she'd follow him to the end of the world. so for her to be in eudio months longer than him? it's an unbalance they're not used to and she hopes nobody mentions it. they're together now.
Cashmere's missed his teasing, which is lucky given the amount she's getting from him. will he know what she's up to if she doesn't tell him? somehow, she thinks, he'll find a way. will Gloss judge her for some of the choices she's made in Eudio? absolutely. but it doesn't seem worth the energy to lie. ]
That's my forgiveness food. [ and anyone who would deny that chocolate covered potato chips are amazing is a liar. she reaches to snatch them back from him. ] You have to share. That's how this works. I have beer.
