Untouchable
A/N: There's two versions of this song, so I decided to make a songfic about it. The original version is by Luna Halo, which is a boy band, and the cover version is by Taylor Swift. Katniss gets the girl version, and Peeta the guy version during memorable moments in Mockingjay. Enjoy:)
Disclaimer: I own absolutely nothing, not the song, not the characters, not even the plot, this is something that I pieced together, that's all.
Katniss
Untouchable like a distant diamond sky, I'm reaching out
And I
just
Can't tell you why
I'm caught up in you
I'm caught up in
you
I miss Peeta. My Peeta, the boy with the bread, not the one that was hijacked. I wish he would come back. I can't sleep at night, not with all the nightmares. I hold the pearl that he gave me on the beach and remember how he used to be, and hope that he will come back to me.
Peeta
Untouchable like a distant diamond sky,
Keep reaching out and I still can't tell you why
I'm caught up in you.
I hate Katniss. I don't know why sometimes I doubt this and seem to remember that I used to love her. The shiny memories take over, and I am filled with rage. And yet...there are other memories, ones that tell me the opposite about her. I don't know who she is anymore. I don't even remember who I'm supposed to be.
Katniss
Untouchable burning
Brighter than the sun
And when you're
close
I feel like coming undone
I went to visit him today. He called me a "piece of work." Maybe he finally realized what a terrible person I am; maybe he finally sees the real me. But he looked so broken, and I miss him so much. I just don't know what to do anymore. Gale tries to comfort me, but all I can think of is Peeta's strong arms around me at night, and his ever-promising kisses.
Peeta
Untouchable burning hotter than the sun
And when you're close I just want to come undone
I can't touch her, I can't even get close to her, I just can't stand her. How dare she come talk to me like that, after all of the things that she has put me through? And why do I still feel drawn to her? I am torn. My rage and passion are burning me from within.
Katniss
In the middle of the night
When
I'm in this dream
It's like
A million little stars
Spelling out your
name
You gotta come on, come on
Say that we'll be together
Come on,
come on
Little taste of heaven
I am still having nightmares. But now they star a Peeta that I long to be with again, one that hates me nowadays. How will I ever sleep at night? I just can't handle the nightmares without him.
Peeta
And in the middle of the night when I'm in this dream
It's like a million little stars spelling out your name
You gotta come on come on
Say that we'll be together
Come on come on
Little taste of heaven
Little taste of heaven
I had a dream about Katniss last night. It was actually a good dream though, which is strange. I dreamt about the kiss that we had in the cave during the first Hunger Games that we went to. I am now more perplexed than ever.
Katniss
It's half full
And I won't wait
here
All day
I know you're saying
That you'd be here
Anyway
I take my watch at midnight to guard Peeta under the light of the moon. Peeta is awake and after a while he speaks up and we began a conversation. I wonder what it's like not being able to tell the difference between illusion and reality. I want to tell him who he is, so that he'll stop living in this nightmare and finally make up his mind and thus return to his usual self. But I just can't come up with anything; I am worthless.
Peeta
It's half full and I won't wait here all day
I know you'll say that I'll be here anyway
Finnick suggested that I ask questions. But I don't know where to begin, or who to trust. Katniss is the only one who knows, and I just can't figure her out. As I watch her, I see her sitting there, looking small and frail under the moonlight. A mixed feeling of revulsion and longing takes over me. I don't know what to do now.
Katniss
But you're
Untouchable burning
Brighter than the
sun
Now that you're close
I feel like coming undone
In the middle of the night
When I'm in this dream
It's like
A million little stars
Spelling out your name
You gotta, come on, come on
Say that we'll be
together
Come on, come on
Little taste of heaven
He faces me, looking torn. He then asks me if this is real. I ask him what he means, and he begins to descibe the shiny memories. I tell him those aren't real, but there memories that are. The good memories of us, the ones where he was kind to me even when I didn't deserve it, are the ones that are real.
Peeta
And in the middle of the night when I'm in this dream
It's like a million little stars spelling out your name
You gotta come on come on
I wanna be together
come on come on
And in the middle of the night we could form this dream
I wanna feel you in the dark lying next to me
You gotta, come on come on
Say that we'll be together
Come on come on little taste of heaven
At first I wasn't sure if I should believe Katniss or not. But when she began to describe to me what I was really like, I began to realize that the real me loved her, and that she herself may even love me. She said that my favorite color is the soft orange of sunset. Then, after I conjured one up in my head, she added: "You're a painter. You're a baker. You like to sleep with the windows open. You never take sugar in your tea. And you always double-knot your shoelaces."
Katniss
Oh
In the
middle of the night
Waking from this dream
I wanna feel you
By my
side
Standing next to me
You gotta, come on, come on
Say that we'll
be together
Come on, come on
Little taste of heaven
Oh, oh
Oh,
oh
I'm caught
Up in you
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Untouchable
burning
Brighter than the sun
And when you're close
I feel like
coming undone
I told him what I could, and I stopped myself before I did anything stupid like cry. I can only hope that one day he will come back to normal and make the nightmares go away. But right now, he's too far away, yet too close at the same time.
Peeta
In the middle of the night when I'm in this dream
It's like a million little stars spelling out your name
You gotta, come on come on
Don't make me wait forever
Come on come on
And in the middle of the night we could form this dream
I wanna feel you in the dark, lying next to me
You gotta come on come on
Say that we'll be together
Come on come on
Little taste of heaven
Little taste of heaven
My little taste of heaven
It's all my fault. She's right, I'm the mutt, I killed someone from our squad. I asked her to finish me off. But she kissed me instead, holding on to my wrists and asking me to stay with her. She brought me back to reality, her gray gaze steady on mine. I stopped shaking. "Always," I murmured.
Katniss
In the middle of the night
When I'm in this
dream
It's like
A million little stars
Spelling out your name
You
gotta come on, come on
Say that we'll be together
Come on, come on
Oh, ohwa, oh
In the middle of the night
When I'm in this
dream
It's like
A million little stars
Spelling out your name
You gotta, come on, come on
Say that we'll be together
Come on, come on
Little taste of heaven
Only Peeta can give me what I need: the dandelion in the spring, its bright yellow that means rebirth, promising me that life can go on and be good again. So after, when he whispers, "You love me. Real or not real?"
I tell him, "Real."
