Mutual Love:

A/N: I am officially obsessed with the Hunger Games. So I figured why not use this obsession on fan-fiction? I'm just gonna say it now so there wont be any future confusion. I will not be putting authors notes unless necessary

Disclaimer: I do not own the Hunger Games (movie or book). All credit goes to Gary Ross and Suzanne Collins.

Katniss P.O.V

Tonight was a storm. Probably another trick from Gamemakers to be stuck in this cave. But, I'm glad that I found some sort of safe shelter. Peeta is asleep but he's trashing and turning and twisting. Then he starts screaming "KATNISS NO! RUN! RUN AWAY!". I shrink down to Peeta's screaming figure and hug him while I whisper things in his ear to calm him down. "Peeta it's Ok. I'm alive. I'm fine." then he visibly relaxes into his dream. Suddenly, his cerulean eyes met my storm gray ones. "Are you Ok Peeta?" I ask with true concern in my voice. "What was it about?"

Peeta starts to sit up using the cave wall to help him. "I had a nightmare. It was about you and me, and we were going to get food to hunt. Then when we weren't looking, Cato stabbed you but I kept telling you to run. You didn't seem to hear or see me and I couldn't move. And I watched you die in front of me. I lost you." he explained letting a few tears stream down his face. He was looking down as if to refuse to meet my eyes "Peeta, look at me." I said softly. He still kept his head down. I cupped his face in my hands gently.

"You will never lose me. Ok? Ever." Then he let a few more tears fall. I wiped them away with my thumbs. " Just like you, I wouldn't be able to handle it if I lost you. Just the thought is unbearable." I said with a tear of my own streaming down my cheek. Peeta cupped my check with his warm hand. He wiped my tear away and he leaned in and kissed me. This kiss was real, driven on real love. Not the 'for show' kisses. It was full of passion and caring. Then we broke away.

"Let's go to sleep." I whispered. He smiled and nodded but appeared to be thinking about something. "Can you sing me a lullaby?" he asked in my ear. "Of course." I said as he laid down and I sat next to him with his head on my lap. I played with his blonde locks aimlessly.

I remember tears streaming down your face
When I said, "I'll never let you go"
When all those shadows almost killed your light
I remember you said, "Don't leave me here alone"
But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight

Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound

Don't you dare look out your window darling
Everything's on fire
The war outside our door keeps raging on
Hold on to this lullaby
Even when the music's gone
Gone

Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound

Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh
La La (La La)
La La (La La)
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh
La La (La La)

Just close your eyes
You'll be alright
Come morning light,
You and I'll be safe and sound...

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh oh oh.

Peeta fell asleep listening to my voice. I soon fell asleep with no nightmares plaguing my mind. Just the thought of Peeta and this wonderful memory. Little did I know,

The nightmares have just begun.
