sobbe hunger games au be like:

since this probably will never end up as an actual story

sander is from district 2 (speciality is masonry). his father is a peacekeeper and his mother is one of the most skilled in her field. despite being raised to fight, to win the games, sander never wanted to kill. he would take a paintbrush for a spear over any day and he was outcasted from his war-loving district. when sander is 14, his name is drawn but no one volunteers for him. it’s unheard of in the entire history of district 2—especially for someone so young—but it’s what happens. his father was frozen, his mother wailed, his little sister begged him not to go, and sander was sent off to the capitol.

the previous victors, their mentors, focused their sights on cornelia, the female volunteer. cornelia promised that she would make sander’s death easy. the other careers mocked him behind his back, but sander paid them no heed as he circled around the trap making, didn’t give his all to the showing of the judges—walking out with a 6. no one expected sander to survive his games.

but no one expected him to come out and be crowned the victor.

once the countdown sounded—signaling the start of the games, sander raced off. his agility allowed him to reach the cornucopia first, grabbing hold of a bag and fleeing the upcoming massacre. in the midst of it, someone came at him with an ax, swinging, and sander’s body moved for him, pulling the knife from his bag and stabbing him. as the person fell to the floor, sander seized the ax—and the knife—and raced to the forest. it wasn’t his only kill—he killed the girl from district 12, the boy from district 6, the girl from district 1, and a few others he wasn’t sure of. when there was three tributes left, cornelia found him in the forest, having grown bored to let him die on his own. they fought for five minutes until the gamekeepers summoned mutts. while sander sought safety in a tree, cornelia fled, being killed—leaving only sander and one other person. in the end, the final kill wasn’t even his to take—the last tribute succumbed to a leg injury.

the trauma from the games stay with him—as they always do. in his dreams, he sees everyone he killed—everyone he didn’t—and he sees them every night. when sander returned, the younger fighters looked up to him but those in his years didn’t—he was still an outcast.

but his new victor status came with new opportunities—and burdens. during his victory tour at the capital, sander snuck on the roof of the president’s mansion and met senne de smet, probably the only normal capital citizen without the fancy or grotesque makeup or fascination with the games—and somehow, beneath the night sky, sander made a friend. in addition, he was finally able to paint like he always wanted to, sticking a suitcase full of paints and canvases to take back to district 2... and they sold. but, one night, president snow made it clear that he wanted one more thing from sander. he introduced him to a rich family—with a daughter his age—and threatened his little sister’s life in the span of three seconds. and, every year with a new game and a new set of tributes to mentor, sander was forced to keep up the rumor of his conquests.

and it continued... year after year. his nightly duties continued (though the people he was with increased once he turned 18). the gossip spread about the broken hearts trailing behind him. even after senne fell in love with a victor from district 10, a girl named zoë, the same old routine with the same old saying—an oxymoron truly—may the odds be ever in your favor. sometimes, sander thought about ending it all, stripping the president and the capital of their prized toy... and he got as far as his hotel roof before he couldn’t—he thought of his parents and his sister—who loved him, senne—his best friend since the night they met, and zoë—who had become his friend and confidant during the games even as their own tributes competited against each other. so, he stepped off the ledge, headed back inside, back to the same old thing.

until sander saw him.

robbe ijzermans. district 4.

he was six weeks from aging out—six weeks away from freedom when his name was pulled. despite coming from a district that focused on fishing, he looked more like a fox than anything else with long brown hair pulled back into a bun and wild brown eyes and freckles. he was easily the most beautiful man that sander had ever seen before. when sander turned away from the screen, he found alexandra—his mentor partner—looking at him with a sad look in her face before she said, “Don’t fall for a dead boy, Sander. It never works out.”

the girl who was reaped with him was a black-haired girl, noor bauwens, about the same age who shook as she walked up to the stand. as they were escorted off the stage, robbe reached over and wrapped the girl in a hug. before the train had left district 4, caesar flickerman had already spun a tale of childhood lovers fighting to survive in the hunger games and the district 4 mentors confirmed it once they arrived (they also cut off his hair, which sander really thought was a tragedy). and they did look like a couple. robbe would always reach out for noor’s hand, hold her close—before the parade, in the hotel elevator, in the training arena. whenever the footage of the training center came on, sander always found himself watching. he told senne and zoë that he was just watching the competition, but he could tell that they didn’t believe him.

when the games had begun, robbe and noor had stuck together, somehow managing to evade the blood bath, racing from the cornucopia with two backpacks and rope wrapped around them. every night, sander found himself rooted on the screen, trying to find out what happened to robbe as well as his own tributes. caesar flickerman kept his attention on the favorite couple of the games. but, overnight, noor had gotten injured in an ambush and robbe had managed to kill them all. even with medical supplies that the sponsors sent over, noor wasn’t getting any better. even through a screen, robbe looked upset and wrought with inner turmoil—like someone who was losing the love of his life. one night, noor breathed out, “you can’t do this anymore, robbe. you need to fight.” and robbe had shaken his head, saying, “i’ve got you, noor.” then he handed her some food and water, making sure she ate it all, before ushering her to sleep. as noor closed her eyes, robbe repeated the phrase. it was only a few minutes later that the cannon sounded off, signaling her death.

after collecting his things, robbe fled their hideout so the game keepers could take her away. by this time, both of sander’s tributes were dead but he still found himself glued to the screen, unable to turn his eyes away for a second. he lost sleep, but he didn’t care. even alexandra was beside him, curious to find out about him.

in the end... robbe won, practically holding his pierced stomach together to keep him alive, as the helicopters descended to pick him up. caesar flickerman talked about his heroism for staying with noor, for fighting his way home, but even with the cameras, sander could see how robbe looked whenever they brought up noor but caesar remained oblivious. before they had all gone home, until the victory tour in the winter, sander went up to the roof for a smoke and one last glance at the capital skyline—and he found robbe sitting on the ledge with his legs over the side. when sander had announced his presence, he had jumped but let sander sit down beside him. they had been quiet for a few minutes before robbe asked, “does it go away?” before elaborating, “the nightmares.”

sander didn’t lie. “no.” he was quiet before he added, “there’s no cameras up here.” robbe had stared at him for a few moments.

for about ten minutes, they were quiet before robbe breathed out: “everyone thinks i lost my girlfriend, even everyone at home—except maybe one person—but that’s not true.” sander had glanced over at him, the cigarette in his fingertips. “we were never like that. we played it for the cameras, thought it would get us good sponsorships on top of our scores... and it did. but i didn’t lose my girlfriend in that arena... i lost one of my best friends.” he let out a breath and rubbed at his eyes. “sorry, i don’t know why i said that. you don’t even know me.”

“i know you.” sander had interrupted. robbe had looked up. “i know you,” he repeated before reaching out his hand and saying. “sander driesen. district 2.”

for six months, robbe disappeared.

then came the victory tour and he was charted off to every district like they all were. finally, he arrived back at the capital, back at the president’s mansion, until he bumped right into sander in the midst of talking about paintings with one of the capital people. the two had exchanged muted greetings before the customer was interested in buying his painting—and his sister was interested in something else. as sander felt her making her move, felt himself succumb to the nightly activities (that president snow had told him about), he found himself looking for robbe and found him over with senne and zoë, who were both talking with him.

after sneaking out of the girl’s room, sander went back to his designated room and bumped into robbe in the lobby, carrying a bunch of supplies and cameras in his hands. sander had laughed, helping him carry them to his room. once they were inside, they started talking about the past six months—about how robbe was adjusting. sander had mentioned about how the capital takes some getting used to but promised to show robbe all of the good spots. even in the darkness of the apartment, sander could spot the flush on robbe’s cheeks before he said that he would like to go.

the next day, sander took robbe around the capital in search for new things for robbe to take home—now that he had an virtually unlimited supply of money at his disposal. everywhere they went, heads would turn to see where they were going, and sander wished they would all go away. sander bought some new art supplies and robbe found some more electronics that he could salvage. sander teased him for being a techie from the fishing district 4 and robbe had blushed, saying that it helps calm his mind.

when they arrived back at robbe’s apartment, arms full of shopping bags, robbe invited sander in for a drink to thank him for the tour and, somehow, sander had pinned robbe against the refrigerator and kissed the daylights out of him—and robbe kissed him back. kissing robbe felt different than anyone else he had kissed before and sander never wanted to stop—but unfortunately, his phone rang with one of his “clients” who had a sultry voice and wanted his last night before they all left. sander wanted to snap, say that he was busy, but the thought of his little sister being killed—or worse, reaped on purpose—tore him away from robbe with a mumbled “i’m sorry.”

for the next games, robbe and sander had run into each other in the elevator and had talked mindlessly before robbe got off on his floor and motioned sander to follow. alexandra had looked at him with wide eyes as sander followed in suit. safely in his apartment, robbe asked why he left and why he didn’t reach out. when robbe asked if he was another one of sander’s conquests that he strung around the capital, sander couldn’t helping kissing that thought off his lips. sander told robbe of snow’s threat and how he doesn’t want robbe to be caught in the crossfires and how, if sander could have his way, robbe would be the only one. robbe closes his eyes and kisses him again, pulling him in the direction of his bedroom, and that’s how their life together begins.

when the games weren’t going on, his mornings and afternoons were completely owned by robbe. if the games were going on, the tv would be on in the background or they’d be out with sponsors, trying to help their tributes in any way that they could. when one of their tributes died or the nightmares got too much, they would hold each other as the sobs overwhelmed them. but, his nights, were mostly reserved for others in the capital—but robbe never left sander’s mind... not even for a second. whenever they called, robbe would press a kiss to his forehead and mumble out an “it’s okay” like he could read the thoughts in sander’s mind.

if snow ever knew, he never said but sander always prepared like he had known the entire time. snow was smart like that. thankfully, robbe didn’t get the same treatment that sander had gotten. instead, with his engineering mind, he was tasked with helping build the arenas, which took it’s own toll on a more permanent basis, and—as much as sander hated his evening work at the capital—he gathered more support for his paintings so he could come to the capital more often, hold robbe a little tighter.

when it all got too much, the hatred of their situation and the nightmares they wouldn’t wish on anyone else, they had each other to hold onto, to kiss away the nightmares in the rare nights that they were allowed to be together—and, when they heard of a rebellion that would stop the nightmares from happening to someone else, the thought to join the fight, to rebel against the twisted system, was instantaneous.

23 :elmoflames:

Em🥺💕 :elmoflames: here’s urs combined with Caitlin’s, I hope you like it 🥰 this is part 2.

Here is Part 1

Idk anything about getting tattoos and while I did some research it was certainly not enough sksjjdd

Dialogue prompts!

23. “Wh-what are you doing?”

His fingers hovered over the send button for the text.

It had a been a week since Robbe showed up at the tattoo parlour after downing shots and met the most alluring and kind guy. And he was contemplating going back for a while until he realized that someone like Sander Driesen would totally be worth it. So, he hit send.

Robbe: hey I think I know what I wanna get

He didn’t receive a response until an hour later, probably during his break, he thought.

Sander: that’s great! I can’t wait to see you again. Preferably sober ;)

I can’t wait to see you again. Preferably sober.

Robbe was about to lose his mind. He couldn’t believe he’d made pretty much a fool of himself last time, but Sander had seen that and understood it and he still wanted to see him.

Calm down, he thought. You’re just another client. -

He shook his hair out in the waiting area, nervously bouncing his leg and when he saw Sander in his chair waiting for him in the back room, his heart practically leapt out of his chest.

“Hey,” said Sander.

“Hey,” he replied, sitting down, with a shy smile.

“So, you figured out what you want,” Sander’s eyes sparkled as went to get his book out.

“Yeah,” Robbe nodded. “I’m thinking I still want the dragon.”

“Yeah?” he could see Sander’s lips curve while he turned back around with the book. “You still want it on your arm?”

“No. Um...” he looked down at his limbs. He wished he thought about this part at least.

Then, he finally took off his brown jacket and lifted the corner of his faded shirt, the fabric lifting up in an angle.

“Around here,” he pointed to the area between his hip and abs. And he wasn’t quite sure, but he could’ve sworn he heard Sander’s breath hitch.

“Okay,” he nodded. He leaned away from him to his book on the desk and when Robbe saw him glance over at him, still sitting there, he said with a small chuckle, “Robbe. Im gonna need you to take off your shirt.”

Right.

He took it off and settled into the chair that Sander lowered with the foot pedal and laid his head back on the head rest. He closed his eyes just to calm his nerves but also because the light was too bright for him. He was so caught up in his own thoughts he didn’t realize it had been a while. He opened his eyes and through his lashes, he saw Sander staring at him, a look in his eyes he couldn’t comprehend.

“Wh-what are you doing?” Robbe’s voice was raspy again, the words caught in his throat.

It seemed to pull Sander out of his trance and he shook his head slightly.

“Nothing.”

He started getting all the equipment ready and once he was sitting close to Robbe, his skin just an inch under his palm, Robbe took a sharp breath. Sander could sense a tension and looked at him. And Robbe looked nervously back at him.

“You don’t have to do this now. You can always come back if you want,” Sander said softly.

Robbe closed his eyes now.

“Yeah,” he said. “I’d like that.”

It was strange how patient he was with him and why he kept offering this to him but that’s how their days went by the next couple of weeks. Robbe coming in and looking at Sander’s art and designs, talking about tattoos and whatever else they wanted. The receptionist knew him well by now, but he’d been advised to come in through the back if he wasn’t getting a tattoo.

One day, thought Robbe. One day I’ll get that tattoo. But I’ll also get the courage to ask Sander out on a date too.

#womenstan #emgab ♥️#I almost wanna write a whole fic of this now skdjdjbd #thanks for helping with the shots 😌💫#dialogue prompts

39 ;) enjoy bb (sobbe or any ship actually skdjjd)

“I could fucking kill you right now Sander!” Robbe shouted, slamming the front door and aiming straight for the bleached haired boy doodling on the sofa.

Sander gave him his most innocent look before asking “Me? What? What did I do?”

Robbe came to an abrupt stop in front of Sander, towering over him. He narrowed his eyes and crossed his arms, urging Sander to tell him the truth.

Sander just stared back at him, eyebrows raised in a challenge, while he slowly lowered the paper he was doodling on. The silhouette of a wild haired man riding a skateboard could be seen on the paper as it slowly slid to the floor.

Refusing to accept defeat, Robbe sighed in impatience and put his bag down on the floor slowly. He stared Sander down and started smirking slightly as he lowered himself on the sofa, throwing one leg on each side of Sander’s body, effectively straddling his hips.

Sander suddenly looked a lot more interested in the situation, instinctively putting his hands on Robbe’s waist and pulling to bring him closer. When Robbe refused to move, Sander laid his head back on the arm of the couch and gave him his best pout.

Robbe tutted him, before pointing his index finger towards Sander’s face accusingly.

“You, old man, are in big trouble” Robbe said, punctuating each of his words with a small jab of his index on Sander’s chest, while fighting back a smile. “How could you hide this from me?”

Sander shrugged his shoulders sheepishly, looking down at his lap (or, well, at Robbe actually, as he currently occupied his entire lap). Robbe put his finger under Sander’s chin, slowly raising his head back up and meeting his gaze. The supportive look Robbe sent him was enough to convince Sander to speak up, breathing deeply to steel himself before.

“I don’t know” Sander started, hesitantly. “It just didn’t feel important. You’re out there doing amazing important work and I’m just...” he gestured vaguely around with his arms.

Robbe caught both of his hands in the air and interlaced their fingers delicately, before kissing each of Sander’s knuckles lovingly.

“Baby... Your work is just as important as mine. It’s your accomplishment and it matters to me, ok?” Robbe said, almost whispering.

Sander nodded his head, a small smile beginning to form on his lips.

“I know. I’m sorry for hiding this from you.”

Robbe bent down and kissed his lips slowly.

“It’s okay, I’m not mad. But Sander, you got your first gallery show! This is important! I’m so proud of you.” Robbe said against Sander’s mouth, before pecking his mouth repeatedly. “Let me be proud of you.” he added, before going back in for a longer, slightly more heated kiss.

Sander smirked at him. “Oh yeah? Any idea of how you could show me?”

Robbe let out a soft chuckle, rolling his eyes lovingly. “A few, yeah” He said, going back in for another kiss.
