Peeta was on the top of the training center roof like he was almost every night since arriving at the capitol. He heard footsteps and expected it to be those of Katniss returning to speak to him once again. To his surprise it was the brute Cato. " Hey lover boy why aren't you with your girlfriend Cato 's voice carried through the roof top. Peeta looked up replying " I don't always have to be with her now do I? " Cato grinned " Well you only have a few hours left before I kill both of you." Peeta's face went white. He knew the killing machine career was more than likely to carry out his plan. " Oh we'll see about that Cato." Peeta said sternly happy his voice didn't sound as scared as he was. Cato moved closer sitting on the ledge joining Peeta. " Did I say you could join me?." Peeta snorted in disgust. He just wanted to be alone. Cato smiled " Not like you have much of a choice now do you." Peeta sighed. He knew he was right there was nothing Peeta could do to get rid of Cato. Only if Peeta returned to his room, but that was the last thing he wanted to do.
Cato broke the awkward silence. " So do you really love her? Or is this just some big show." Peeta taken back but the sudden and somewhat personal question. I...I ...I Peeta stuttered. " Just whatI thought." Cato let out with a slight chuckle. " I could tell by the way you look at her. It's with more disgust than love. I would be mad too everyone thinks she can win they've basically forgotten about you. But not me I've been watching you 12 you're a real threat." Cato paused looking for Peeta's reaction. Peeta merely looked up with hatred in his eyes. " Well don't you just have everything figured out." Peeta stated. I'm a lot smarter than it appears 12. Now I have an offer for you. Join me and the rest of the careers or be the first I kill off. " Peeta has no idea how to react. Join the careers? Peeta opened his mouth but nothing came out. Cato continued " It'll at least give you a few extra days not to mention I may let you live longer than the others depending on how useful you are 12." Peeta realized he had no choice. He knew if he didn't join he'd be killed right off. However he knows if he joins he can gain their trust and try to either escape them or kill them all off. Finally Peeta spoke " Well Cato I think we have a deal." Cato let out a small smile. " Good 12 this should be fun."
Silence returned to them for what seemed like an eternity to Peeta. When all the sudden he was tackled to the ground by the large tribute. Soon he was eye to eye with Cato being crushed under his weight. " If you try to pull something 12 I'll cut your balls right off you understand?" Peeta nodded. All of the sudden their lips met. Peeta in shock could do nothing under the grip he was held in. Just as quickly as it happened it ended and Cato was on his feet. "See you in the Arena Lover boy this should be fun." Spouted Cato with a glint of lust in his eyes. Peeta laid on the ground of roof. More confused than ever yet a warm feeling was coming over him. Butterflies were in his stomach. He knew it he liked that kiss. Peeta let out a sigh he couldn't there was no way he'd let himself get feelings for that killing machine cato.
