So, I have decided to post my first ever collection of random, short drabbles
I hope you enjoy them and please review (:
Setting: On the train coming home from the victory tour
Early morning sun pours through the blinds and covers the small room in yellow. The change in lighting causes Peeta to slowly open his eyes and try to gather his bearings. As a baker, he was used to waking up extremely early to get a head start on the day's bread. Yet, this morning by far was the best he had ever had.
Hearing soft breaths he looked down to see the girl on fire at peace for the first time in weeks. His arms were wrapped around Katniss as they lay facing each other. Deep in his heart he hoped that the tighter he held her, the more effective he was at keeping her nightmares away. Her face is buried in the crook of his neck, breathing warm air against his skin. Chills run over his body and he runs his large hand over her cheek. Long, lean legs are intertwined with his and her small feet are chilly against his own. Feeling a small pressure against his chest, he comes to notice that one of her hands is pressed against his heart and he grins.
Last night was the fourth night Katniss had allowed him to hold her through the night. It was almost a routine. Each tried to sleep on their own, but after an hour or two he would always appear in her room. Neither could face their demons alone and so he would cradle her head to his chest as she tried to fall asleep. Through her tossing before his arrival at midnight, her braid had loosened and fallen out. Peeta ran his free hand through her long, dark hair now warm from the sun's rays. He tangles his fingers in her hair and his grin becomes a smile.
After running a hand over the soft skin of her upper shoulders, Katniss shifts in her sleep as goose bumps peak on her skin. She buries her head deeper into his neck until her soft lips touch his skin. His heart speeds up and he blushes from the contact as her leg shifts to straddle his. He removes his hand from her back and rolls from his side onto his back. Katniss' face stays pressed against his skin and he leans his head against her forehead.
A large hand cups her face as he places a kiss on her forehead. Rubbing his thumb slowly over her jaw, he closes his eyes. He feels her lips shirt upwards as she smiles in her sleep against his warm neck. Soon enough, he is at peace enough to drift back to sleep with a Katniss content in his arms.
