Beneath the Gold
Y/N and Finnick Odair grew up together in District 4. Before the Capitol knew his name, before he became their golden boy, Finnick was simply the boy Y/N knew—the boy who teased her, stole food from her plate, taught her to swim, and spent countless afternoons beside her near the sea. The night before his reaping, they spend one last evening together, both pretending tomorrow won’t change anything. Then Finnick’s name is called. Y/N watches the Games from District 4, helpless as the boy she knows is transformed into a victor. Finnick survives. But after his Victory Tour, he doesn’t return home. For four years, he remains in the Capitol. When he finally comes back to District 4, Y/N barely recognizes him. He’s charming, polished, flirtatious, and perfectly suited to Capitol society. He smiles more, touches more, jokes more—and hides almost everything underneath it. Everyone sees the Capitol’s golden boy. Y/N remembers the boy beneath him. And she’s determined to find him again.
