《Clato》chapter eleven
Advertisement
Cato was tired from running around at different stations.
Clove waited next to Candice for Cato to join them.
Cato joined them, sighing.
Clove wanted to give Cato a hug but stopped herself. She followed Candice as they were escorted back.
Cato had forgotten about being a secret and snaked his arm round Clove's waist.
Clove's eyes bulged. She jumped out of his grasp and looked at him, showing her alarm.
Cato looked hurt, his eyes lowered.
"Sorry babe," Clove whispered into Cato's ear. "I don't want anyone finding out about us and using that as a weapon against us."
Cato stood to the far end.
As soon as the elevator door opened, Clove went straight inside to the main room.
"Dinner is in five." Candice informed them before heading back down.
Cato walked with her quietly. "We have interviews soon."
"What will we do?"
"I dunno, I'm just gonna answer his questions." Cato said matter of factly.
"What if he asks if you have a girlfriend?" Clove asked.
"Glimmer.." He murmured quietly.
* * *
"Glimmer?!" Clove was shocked that he'd even suggest her. "It's your dignity on the line."
Cato screwed his nose up. "Well it steers the cameras away from us."
"True," Clove paused "as long as you can live with her tagging along behind you every second of The Games, kissing you and calling you her boyfriend."
Cato sighed, "I'm not gonna kiss her,"
"She'll be kissing you. She hugged you as a greeting, what do you think she'll treat her 'boyfriend' like?" Clove looked into Cato's eyes. "But if you think it'll work, thank you." she gave him a faint smile.
Cato looked Clove in the eye. "I don't know what to do, Clove."

"Neither do I, babe." Clove hugged Cato and buried her face into his chest to stop herself from crying. "I'm so sorry I took the tesserae. I really am. I'm such an idiot." Clove couldn't hold back her tears anymore.
Cato held her to him close, "It's okay beautiful."
Clove just let herself sob in the safety of his arms.
Cato rubbed her back gently, his chin resting on top of her head.
"Dinner!" They heard Candice's voice coming from the elevator.
Cato sighed. "Coming down for tea?"
Clove looked up with tear filled eyes. "Like this?" She giggled.

"Just say.. You fell over or something." Cato chuckled.
"Great entrance for a career don't you think? 'I fell over! Oh now I'm balling my eyes out!' I think I'll stay up here babe, you can go down." She gave him a reassuring smile.
"Hmmm.." Cato sighed. "Okay, see you in a little bit." He told her.
"Goodbye babe." She kissed him and went to the snack table they had on their floor.
"Goodbye Clove," He answered and went out to the dining area.
Clove read the menu. All of it. Nothing caught her eye until she saw the deserts.
"Ice cream." Clove whispered into the mouthpiece. A beautiful ice cream cone appeared in front of her.
Perfect.
Cato enjoyed dinner with the two mentors and Candice.
Clove soon finished that cone. She ordered another.
Cato finished up and went to Clove's room. He knocked on the door gently.
"Come in!" Clove replied, not bothering to hide her five serving dishes with the remnants of ice cream on them or her current cone.

When Plush comes to Shove
An: So the last synopsis wasn’t really all that good, it was just some mumbo jumbo with no actual point to it so I decided to make a new one that’s a bit more accurate. Leo Lush, just your average everyday (slightly chubby) schmuck, or at least he would be if he didn’t carry around a stuffed toy everywhere he went.I mean, he was a man who could read the atmosphere a bit so put it away in his bag whenever having a stuffed toy out would be rude but other than that he brought it with him all the time, it was a memento from his girlfriend who had died three years ago and keeping it close made him feel better. That’s also why his classmates gave him the nickname “Plush”, though that's neither here nor there. One day at the train station he’d lost his dearest stuffed toy, one of his classmates found it and lobbed it towards him, something that they’d already done many times before, but this time something went wrong and Leo found himself falling in front of the train due to the force of the throw. Now follow Leo as the spirit that developed in his stuffed toy and killed him forces his ghost into another world to possess a different stuffed toy. He doesn’t know much about the world or why he’s there but what he does know is that according to a magic book his girlfriend was also sent to this very world when she died in a plane accident three years ago. An: For those who want to know a bit more about what kind of story this will be: I want it to be a chill feel-good story and stay as far away from those despair-fest stories as possible (No offense to people who enjoy them, I’m just not one of you)Let me make something clear; I’m not writing this story with hope of it becoming really top tier among RRL (Though it did get above rank 500 once which I’m still very proud of even though it’s gone back down to ~850 at the time of writing this) I just want to write a story that I would enjoy reading, that’s why I’ll be mostly skipping over a lot of the parts that I skip when I read other stories, such as stats, the exact value of money and other such precise statistics that no one(as far as I’m aware) really cares about all that much. Just feels like a lot of effort for something superfluous.There’s a single exception and that’s one of the battles, it’s not a despair-fest or anything but it’s got a different feel than the rest of the story due to me being in a funky mood while I was writing it.
