Lay It All On Me, Katniss

(If you'd like to, listen to Lay It all On Me by Rudimental ft Ed Sheeran during this oneshot, the place where to start the music is in bold)

I stand behind the curtain, our dance soon to begin. Our final dance on America's Got Talent about to be shown. The final.

"They've stunned us with performances to Lullabies, Castle, Kingdom in The Sky and Moondust. Let's see how Katniss and Peeta progressed this week in the lead up to their final debut." The audience soars with applause and our introduction begins.

"This week, we've decided to stick with lyrical dance." I say, during our interview session. Katniss didn't say much. "... The song we've chosen is Lay It All On Me by Rudimental feat Ed Sheeran. We chose this song to tell a story, a personal story. Our story, or should I say mainly Katniss'." We both laugh.

"I have the main role and Peeta has a supporting in this story because its set in a dark part of my past and we're showing my journey with Peeta during this time. It was a very emotional week for me." Katniss says.

"With this story behind it, this dance will either be our losing send off or our winning send off. Either way, we're extremely amazed that we came this far."

I gesture to Katniss and suggest taking our positions, being on opposite sides of the stage. She nods and we do. She's wearing a black shirt, off the shoulder sleeves, and black leggings to her feet. Studded with dark blue sequins. Whereas I'm wearing a white fitted shirt with dark grey leggings myself. Wearing my leotard underneath makes it less uncomfortable.

"This dance is dedicated to Katniss' family. However more so on her father and herself." I say.

"Love you Papa." Katniss whispers then hugs me, tearing up. It fades and the audience applauds. Here we go.

(start song now if you'd like to listen to it along with it)

The music starts and I stand in my spot. Rain being projected as a rectangle on Katniss' side. Whereas mine doesn't have any effects.

She's standing, facing away from me and towards the curtains. Where as I am facing her.

"All alone as you look through the door.." She looks up and around to her side, rubbing her arms. I cautiously approach her area and step in.

"If it hurts and you cant take no more...." She drops to her knees and I run over to her, kneeling behind her. I'm looking at her but her eyes don't meet mine.

"No, you don't have to keep it under lock and key..." I try to open up her cage but she forces it shut again and I lower my arms to the floor.

"And if you cant escape all your uncertainties." She shakes her head, grasping her hair.

"Baby, I can show you how." My fingers run under her jaw and she looks at me as we both stand.

"Let my love in..." I walk backwards and she twirls four times. She leans back and my fingers just touch her, for support.

"If you're hurting.." She buckles over and squats. "Lay it all on me." I help her up but she objects at moves away from me.

"Yeah, you can lay it all.." We both walk to the edge of her confinement and I step back into my area. Katniss stays on hers. She looks around and is hesitant but objects to the idea and walks back before running back to the other side of the stage.

She's scared as she looks around, not sure where to go.

"...Just remember me." She looks around to see me and I walk back to her. We continue to look at each other. Katniss with a small amount of hope of finding her way.

"..don't have to keep it under lock and key.." I try to open her cage again. 

"Cuz, I'll never let you down." I then hold her forearms.

"...can't escape all your uncertainties." She shakes her head again but this time, she places her hands against my neck and I hold her waists.

We spin together three times before I lean her over and then stand her up. She buckles over and I hold her, standing her up and she doesn't object.

"Lay it all.." Holding each others wrists, I lead her back over to the edge. Our hands don't let go. She tries to put her body across, arms and legs first but cant. So she ends up falling backwards and I sit behind her.

"So if you're hurting babe..." She continues to shake but on 'free' she holds her arms out and leans back on my shoulder. I place my hand on her left shoulder. She grabs my right hand and places it on her cheek before buckling over again. The next time she holds her arms out. I see tears in her eyes. She's trying to hold it in until the end. We do the same again, yet opposite hands.

She turns around and wraps her arms around my neck and I pick her up. "I cant do it." She whispers before the chorus. "Yes, you can." I say back before we begin spinning.

"Let my love in.." For the first eight counts we're spinning with her legs against mine.

For the next eight, she brings her legs higher and to my left, making us more swift. She lowers and we let one hand go off of each other for the second to last, eight counts of spinning. One I was worried about. I put my arm back around her and she lets her other one go. Both behind her as we go the last eight counts. As we stop the eight counts, she cups my cheeks as she slips down to look at me clearly. The tears are now falling down her cheeks. Her arms go from my cheeks back to around my neck. We both head to the side of her box, managing to wipe her cheeks as we do. I help her feet to stand on top of mine and my arms wrap around her. She rests her head on my shoulder, facing away from the audience. Then I turn onto my side, no longer in her box and let her face the audience. Her sobs filling my ears now.

Katniss continues to hold me as she sobs into my shoulder even when the song finishes. I coo to her for a short moment before turning and walking to the host and hold the microphone.

"Don't worry, she's okay." I reassure everyone. I press a quick kiss to her shoulder and Katniss steps off my feet and turns to look at the judges, arms not letting go of me.

"Before the judges go and critique, I think we'd all like to know a little bit more of the story." The host asks and I go to answer it, I know what to say. We'd prepared for this.

"Katniss and I have been friends since birth, inseparable. But when we were 10, the bond cracked when her father died and she fell into depression. Her father and Katniss had an amazing and tight bond, I had one with him too. But our portrayal in the dance was showing how she was reluctant to let me in and help her. Then her progression to let me in, a small amount at a time and then her realisation that I'm feeling grief as well and that she should let me in completely to grieve with her. Which she does." Katniss nods and wraps her arms tighter around me when I finish.

The first judge stands up and claps, leading the audience to as well and I smile. "That story was definitely being told. Your choreography definitely matched the lyrics and Katniss' progression of her past. That was marvellous. Amazing. I think we all had tears in our eyes, but I can tell you that I certainly did." She sits down again and I look to Katniss', pressing a quick kiss to her forehead as she looks up at me.

"Thank you for that dance Katniss and Peeta. Very beautiful, a favourite of mine from tonight. Um.. You're skill level was satisfactory and could've been raiser a little. The choreography itself fit with the lyrics and story you were telling. One last thing, maybe too much spinning was used in the end chorus there. But overall a beautiful and we'll developed performance." The second judge says and I nod. My hand rubbing Katniss' back as she calms down. Her head now resting on my shoulder.

"Pft. Skill level could be improved. No way, it was spot on for you two. A key feature which I liked was how at first, you were touching by fingertips. Then progressed to hands only touching and you, Katniss, letting Peeta in a small amount and then the end, body parts of Katniss needed to stay touching your body, Peeta, and how she willingly gave all her emotions away and laid it all on you." I grin and wrap my arm tighter around Katniss. "You've set the level to beat and stunned us all again. Thank you for that performance and your willingness Katniss, to share that story." The third judge says and I sniff. Battling the tears of joy.

"Thank you. Thank you all very much." I hand the microphone back and Katniss jumps into my arms. Wrapping her legs around my hips. We share a quick kiss before I walk backstage with her in my embrace.

----

"And the winner is..." The silence of the room makes the nervousness soar. My heart is pounding out of my chest and Katniss' grip on my hand is firm and tight.

"Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark!" The host shouts and my mouth drops. Confetti begins to fall on us and I face Katniss. Oh my gosh, I mouth and hug her tightly.

She pulls away abruptly and wraps one arm around my back before we share a long and deep kiss. My eyes close and her hand cups my cheek. As we break and my eyes open again, I grin widely at her. Still shocked that we've won.

We've won.
