This is when Katniss broke her heel in Catching Fire and Peeta carried her to bed. From Peeta's POV :) ("Stay with me" "Always")
I DO NOT OWN THE HUNGER GAMES
"What is it?" I say while holding Katniss upright.
"Oh, I banged up my left foot. The heel. And my tail-bone's had a bad day, too." She says. With that, I help her over to one of the padded rockers. Mrs. Everdeen gently takes off Katniss's boots.
"I slipped and fell," Katniss says. Everyone looks at her with disbelief.
"On some ice." she adds. Everyone knows it's not safe to talk yet. The house could be bugged. Mrs. Everdeen probes Katniss's heel and she winces. I hate to see her in pain. I wish I could take it all away.
"There might be a break," Mrs. Everdeen says. She examines the other foot.
"This one seems all right." She says Katniss's tailbone is badly bruised. Prim is then dispatched to get Katniss her robe and pajamas. Once she is dressed, Mrs. Everdeen makes a snow pack for her heel. Katniss eats three bowls of stew and half a loaf of bread while I and everyone else dine at the table. Katniss stares at the fire when she is done. I start to wash the dishes for everyone. I can see Prim sitting and talking to Katniss. They talk about Prim's school and the wedding dresses. I finish washing the dishes and start to dry my hands. Mrs. Everdeen comes and makes some tea for Katniss with a dose of sleep syrup. She goes over to Katniss and hands it to her. She starts to get sleepy immediately. As Mrs. Everdeen starts to wrap Katniss bad foot, I walk over there and volunteer to help her get to bed. I help Katniss up, and lean her on my shoulder. We get halfway to the stairs, but I can tell she is too wobbly and tired to make it any farther. I scoop her up in my arms and head upstairs. I don't think she knows, but she wrapped her arms around my waist, holding her head close to my chest. I smile down at her, but she is too out of it to notice. I gently set her down in her bed, and tuck the sheets around her.
"Goodnight Katniss" I say. I don't want to leave her, but I know I can't stay. Not yet anyways. I turn around to leave, but she catches my hand and holds me there.
"Don't go yet. Not until I fall asleep," Katniss says quietly. I sit down on her bed next to her. I take her hand and start warming it with both of mine. I stare down at them.
"Almost thought you'd changed your mind today. When you were late for dinner." I say. I can tell Katniss is foggy, but she knows what I mean.
"No, I'd have told you," she says softly. She pulls my hand up towards her so the back of it is against her cheek. She is really starting to dose off so she manages one more sentence before the syrup pulls her under.
"Stay with me." She barely whispers. I smile and whisper back
"Always." But she is already gone. I kiss her forehead lightly and tuck a loose strand of hair away. I close the door gently behind me as I leave the room to head downstairs.
