Fabian looked up from where he was sitting in the bar. It wasn't a famous one, it was one where you could go just to hang out with friends, without being disrupted by some Capitol jerk. He had broken things off with Zander not too long ago and he was still getting over it. He was better than he was that day though. He stayed up all night, and didn't go outside of his home for the rest of that week. He was still confused about his feelings, and wanted some comfort. The only way he'd get this is if he'd go out there and go on dates. But he was too scared to ask. The situation that had happened has gave him the mindset that no one can ever love him, someone so cruel. So unworthy. He sipped his water, and continued to stare at the wall in front of him. The rest of the people at the bar were dancing, but he was in no mood to be doing that either.

Getting to his feet, Tatum inched closer to his clothes, making no eager attempt to throw them on. He wasn't even sure if this was considered a one night stand anymore. Fabien had a genuine vibe about him that Tatum wanted to find out more about, and Tatum truly felt as though he could see himself with his arms around the Escort. It was an odd feeling, but it was exactly what he wanted. "Yeah, well.. Neither have I." He was trying to avoid the conversation that seemingly steered into feelings, a topic that Tatum truly wasn't all that sure about, eyes on his fallen clothes.

Fabian wasn't sure what they were going to do. He just knew that he wanted something more. Something more than them just sleeping together and never seeing each other again. Fabian wanted the best for himself. And for Tatum. And maybe Tatum was his missing puzzle piece. He looked down as well, and spoke quietly. "I think that.." he began. "You have left a mark on me," he stated. "And it's permanent. If you leave now, you'll be giving up something real. Something true. Even though we just met," he suggested. "Life has it's ways of bringing people together. And we may as well take fate for it's word, and do something about this. Clearly when we kissed it was more than shameless flirting. It was more than just us touching. Our lips locked. Like a seal." he said.

He listened closely, his chest rising to every word that Fabien breathed. He was right when he thought about it; life had it's way of bringing people to each other and cementing some kind of connection between them. Of course, it wasn't like they could go as public as Tatum wanted. Not without punishment on the horizon. The man turned back to Fabien, swallowing his nerves. "You think so, huh?"

Fabian moved closer and made their noses touch. He laughed a little bit. They couldn't of course tell anyone. But they could steal each others love. That's what this was for. They both finally found someone. "I know so," he stated. "Your move."

"Always going to be my move, hm?" He mumbled against Fabien's mouth, his hand coming up to caress the Escort's chin and pull his face a little closer for Tatum to place a gentle kiss on Fabien's lips. He pulled back a few inches, a small grin on his face; "I guess I don't mind that."

Fabian chuckled. Tatum's lips were still the best thing he had ever felt upon his. No matter what, he felt like they'd be together. "I'm just not a dominant person," Fabian suggested. "It's not my personality." he said.

"I gathered that." He told the man, wrapping his arms around Fabien's waist and pulling him closer for Tatum to enjoy their closeness. "What would you like to do for the rest of the day though?"

Fabian was pulled closer by Tatum, and he smiled. His eyes shined and lightened. "I don't care as long as I'm with you," he laughed. Fabian looked into Tatum's eyes, and could see inside of him. This is something new. Something that they would have to work on to make it good, but what's wrong with being bad? Fabian licked is lips.

He chuckled, running his hands down Fabien's sides in thought. "I'm at a loss for ideas here," He mentioned quietly, though he wouldn't mind kissing the other man all day. It was very weird to feel that particular want for someone when he thought about it, and maybe that was why he was so open to exploring what it would entail.

Fabian smirked as Tatum felt his body. He put his hands on and squeezed Tatum's muscles. This was such a new experience. Fabian hadn't felt this kind of love in a long time. And with a Gamemaker? Who would've known that such a thing could happen? Fabian has a deep hatred for people that even encourage the Games. But the Gamemaker? Who sits at the table and tells people to kill children? Fabian felt bad.. But sometimes stepping outside of his comfort zone was a good thing. "I .. Want to.. talk." he asked. Fabian wanted to learn more about him. The man had to be more than just a pretty face.

"Talk?" That was definitely something Tatum could do, he rested his hands on Fabien's sides and let the man clutch at his muscles, earning a bright grin from the Gamemaker. This felt right, and maybe with talking, Tatum could find out what made this right and why he was so open to exploring. "What would you like to talk about?"

Fabian nodded. He didn't really know where this was going. But he and Tatum would come up with something to do. Sooner or later. "You." he said. "I want to talk about you. What do you like?" he asked. Fabian wanted to know more about Tatum. He couldn't be in a relationship with someone without knowing anything but their name.

He was a little caught off guard, but it didn't offend the Gamemaker. He just shrugged at the words, his head falling back in thought as he rolled his thoughts in. "I'm sure I like swimming and running in the morning, as well as eating whatever food I could put into my mouth." He grinned at Fabien, returning his gaze towards the Escort. "Just boring, standard things, you know?" Swallowing, Tatum went on with the conversation, "What about you? What do you like?"

Fabian liked looking at Tatum's neck stretched out. He was tempted to kiss it, but he didn't. He kept his eyes on the prize and just waited for the right time. "We should go swimming, there's a pool in the backyard." he said. "Well I guess you didn't get to see it because.." Fabian laughed and scratched the back of his head. Fabian looked back up and into Tatum's eyes. "There's nothing boring about you," he stated. "I like to have fun. Explore. Climb mountains.. Exercise.. I don't like the cold."

Swimming was definitely something that Tatum tried to do every day, but of course, his job came first or he would never be able to pay for the home he currently lived in. When Fabien suggested that the two of them go swimming, he smiled and nodded, "I'd like that." The man tilted his head to the side, stretching his neck and admiring the other man as he talked. "Exercise is great, actually. We could do that together sometime." Licking his upper lip, Tatum's mouth parted as he realized what he had said. "If you want to, I mean." The man added, quick to inform the Escort that it was merely a choice and not something that Tatum would force the other into.

Fabian couldn't believe that he was really talking to a Gamemaker. He was falling for him. He was sure that the male felt the same way. Who knew that love could be this deep. It was more that a feeling. It was more than a word. It was something special, it was theirs. And he couldn't ever let it go. "Okay," Fabian smiled. He got up from where he was sitting, and walked into his bedroom. He came back with two pairs of swimtrunks. "You'll need these," he laughed. His house was guarded from being seen, however, the Capitol has cameras everywhere. Being a Gamemaker, Tatum should know that himself.

Tatum had never been so open before with a one night stand. He was usually with them for a night, then left the next morning before the other person could wake up, but he gave himself a little bit of time to gather his thoughts, and that why he was still there when Fabian was awake. However, Fabian was adamant in believing their night together was more than just a quick fix. It was scary to think that he could have any kind of relationship with someone beyond one night stands, but he gave it a chance because he felt there was something about the Escort that was so genuine. In deep thought, Fabian returned and offered Tatum some swimming trunks, which he took gingerly into his grasp to look at before staring up at the other man. "You're seriously up for some swimming?"

Fabian laughed a little and looked away smirking. His wilder side was coming out. But he then went back to his usual composed self. He was coming out of his skin with Tatum. His true feelings were showing, and he couldn't help but let them. You can't control how you feel all the time. It's not possible. Fabian looked in his bright eyes, and nodded softly to answer his question. The male was so capturing. So gaze-worthy.
