When We Were Young

by Saraa0119

This is my very first fanfic! I just finished THG and was not happy about the little focus and Peeta's and Katniss's relationship. I know its short but I want people's opinions. I'll make longer chapters if ya'll like it! Mature for later ;

1. Chapter 1

When We Were Young. Chp 1

Taking place right after the Hunger Games ends. Peeta and Katniss are back in District 12 right before the Victory Tour.

POV of Peeta Mellark

The night sky smelled sweet, as if Katniss herself had walked in the same path he did. The sun had just fallen in District 12 as Peeta Mellark walked aimlessly away from the meadow. He had hoped Katniss had gone hunting today so he could see her. He shook his head, "Should have known…" As he hid behind a tree, a bright eyed Katniss and Gale Hawthorne are laughing and seem to be very comfortable with each other. Peeta sighed and got from behind the tree to leave. All of a sudden he felt a hand on his shoulder, "Peeta! Where have you been? I've come by your house but it always seems like you're out."

"Well I'm out now… sorry for interrupting." He pulls his shoulder away and starts to run. He could hear her screaming his name, but that only makes him run faster. How could she? How could she not love me but him? Anger builds up quick as he cuts a corner to the Victors Village, passes Haymitch's house and runs straight to his. Slamming the door behind him, he struts to the kitchen and begins to cry. He cries until he's puffy in the eyes and there's nothing left to let fall. What gets him out of his daze is a slight knock on the front door. He clears his face as quick as he can and runs to open the door. The first thing he notices is her hair, knotted and out of control like if she was running herself. Her breathing was heavy and uneven. Her eyes, just as red as his. "Katniss..." He begins to speak but instead somehow her lips found his.
