Hi all, I am here with a story for hunger games. Its my first contribution to this amazing universe. I know I make a lot of mistakes while writing and hence I want all of you to review this and help me to improve. So here's the first chapter. Read it, like it, favorite it and don't forget to review it. Thanks.

I wake with a start, then all of a sudden. Pale morning lights were peeping through the shutters, my body was wet with sweat. I realized that I was still half in the nightmare, trying to adjust in the reality but my eyes widen as I saw him.

His face was flushed from digging up the ground under my window. Sweat was streaming down his forehead. the sweat reflected the sunlight and it looked that he looked was sparking, like in the arena of the 74th Hunger Games, after the tacker jaker attack. Hunger Games, Ugh... I don't feel to even think about that now. The terrible games. It took away several lives, including my sweet little Prim.

Comming back to the reality, I rubbed my eyes with my palms, trying to adjust my vision. I was thinking that it was just his illusion, until, he flashed his good blue eyes at me. My eyes met his and a huge smile spread across his face, just like my old Peeta used to have. He waved at me but I was too shocked to respond.

Not even thinking for a second, I got up from my bet and rushed out of the door to see him.

He looked well. Thin and covered with scars like me but his blue eyes had lost that tortured look. He saw me. I could see that the smile still persisted on his face. He held his arms out to hug me and to be honest, I didn't hesitated for a second.

It felt so good to hug him. It was like I found something, that was forcibly taken away from me. Something that was mine. I knew his was changed now, though by the Capitol. I knew he can't be my Peeta again.

"Are you listening?" He said, pulling me back from my thoughts.I was busy holding him."Sorry, I didn't." I said sheepishly.

"Well, I said..." He paused for a moment, rolling off his eyes. Then he continued, "that you can leave me now. It feels good but hurts after a while." He chuckled.

I realized that I was still hugging him so tightly and my face was buried against his chest. As soon as he completed, I immediately got off him.

"Well, I am sorry." I said.

"Its ok, Katniss." He replied.

Just then, I noticed that he had been doing something here, but I didn't knew what. My gaze fell on the beautiful flower bed under my window. I kept on starring at it in amazement and surprise but then, I realized what it was. It was Primrose, the flower my Prim was named for.

"Oh, sorry I didn't tell you. I know you are sad so I decided to plant Primrose here, for you, for her." He said with a sad smile.

"Thank you very much, Peeta." I said after a moment.

I was overwhelmed by what he did. I felt warm tears streaming down me cheeks for his thoughtfulness, for his presence.

"Thanks for what? " He asked but I don't know why. I immediately replied him, "for your presence."

He frowned. He gave a thought to my words and finally said, "Well, I didn't expected that you'll say that."and he wiped tears from my cheaks. I decided to stay quite. He embraced me. "Hey, don't cry." He said in a soft tone, his tone.

"Let me cry." I protest, pressing my face against his strong chest. "Don't waste your precious tears." He said. I pulled my face up to look up at him. He was moving his hands through my hair. I don't know why he sounded like the old Peeta.

"Why?" I asked. "There are lot many worst things to cry for." He said and pauses for a moment. "What can be worst than this, loosing everything in the games?" I murmured.

"Loosing everything is OK except for your hope." He said, giving out extra focus on the word 'hope'. It felt like he wanted my mind to listen to him and no doubt, it worked.

" and..." He said, making his face look serious, " you asked me about even worst conditions than this?"

I just nodded. "Well, it can be even worst, when you keep on hugging a hijacked Peeta." I quickly free myself from his embrace and starred him in disbelief.

"You still get flash backs?" I asked with my eyes open. I could figure out a smirk on his face. "Hmmm... you can't find a Katniss without nightmares at night, similarly its difficult to find a fully healed Peeta. Maybe it can take time. But yes, I do get flash backs." And when he completed I saw the strange expression on his face.

And I swear, for the first time in such a long period, I was so tempted to laugh. And so I did. When I mean that I laughed, it was like I opened my mouth and made noises.

I noticed Peeta with a smile of relief on his face. I was still laughing. Yes, he did it. He made me laugh. Out of all the odds, only Peeta Mellark made me happy. And not only happy, he made me laugh exactly.

Then I noticed him, he was still looking at me. Like he watched me in the cave, with that warm look filled with affection in his eyes."what?" I asked, stilling trying to control my laugh but it still persisted in form of a smile.

"Nothing. I just did it." He said. Suddenly, I squeezed my eyebrows trying to figure out what he meant but he spoke, "I just made Miss Katniss Everdeen happy. So, Mission accomplished Miss Everdeen! Where's my prize?" I saw all that excitement in his eyes.

"So you did Mr Everlark. And according to me that you already have a prize. Well having me is an honor." I tried to joke. I know I shouldn't have said that. Actually it was an extraordinary honor for me to have him back.

He just let it go with a short laugh and held his and hand out for me to take. I let my palm on his and he took me to the door of my house.

" You better take a bath!" He said seriously. I didn't know what to say. Then, we got back home.

It was a really good day for me. That day, I think, turned out into a new chapter into the book of my life. This time, this was done by Peeta Mellak.

I thought he was fully healed but I guess I was wrong. Although, he made me feel good that day but he did something that I didn't expected. I thought he was joking about his flash backs and he looked well. But appearances are often deceptive.

So that's the first chapter. I will update soon. Please review it I'll be waiting.
