Ch. 01: Coming back home...
-Peeta-
There she was, it's been forever since I last saw her. Dr. Aurelious didn't let me come back right the moment she did, I needed more time to heal. But, damn how much I missed her. I was still afraid I would have an episode next to her and try to kill her again, but being next to her was all I wanted right at that moment.
I've heard she was really sad because of everything that happened, especially now that Prim was gone. At least Gale moved away. I know he's a good guy and that's the reason why I'm so afraid of him showing up and stealing Katniss away from me. Okay, I had no idea if Katniss wanted to be mine but I sure did want to be with her.
I was planting some primroses on her yard when I heard her.
Katniss: What are you doing?
Peeta: I missed you too Kat... I'm just planting some primroses, they're beautiful aren't they?
Katniss: yeah...
She gave me a small smile and I hugged her tight. When she hugged me back I knew she missed me too, but she would never admit it just yet.
-Katniss-
Oh how much I missed his arms around me, this is the only place I actually feel safe. Only Peeta can give me that.
Katniss: How are you feeling? Back for good?
Peeta: yeah, I'm better now, and I'm back for good. I don't know if you noticed but you're the only person I have left...
I looked down, I felt so selfish when I thought that all his family was dead and it was all because of me. I would always be there for him. I only noticed that I was sobbing when I felt his hard chest against my cheek and his soft hand caressing my hair.
Peeta: I'm here Kat... I'll always be here!
Katniss: Thank you! And yeah, you have me, always...
He smiled at me and looked me with those big blue eyes, I felt when my knee went weak.
I think we were about to kiss when Haymitch walked in.
Haymitch: Kids! Good to see you back together, I mean, getting along so well...
I know I blushed and Peeta smirked, he noticed it.
Peeta: Haymitch, I know this is all weird but I missed you!
Haymitch: Oh kid... me too, it's good to see you good again, but right now I'll let the star-crossed lovers from district 12 to continue to get along...
I started laughing out of embarrassment. I have no idea why I was so shy around Peeta.
It was already dinner time and of course I asked Peeta to stay over. Deep down inside I knew I was so scared he would leave again...
-Peeta-
Katniss seemed so uncomfortable near me, was she afraid of me because I could attack her any moment? I really had no idea.
Peeta: Katniss, can I ask you something? I want you to be completely honest with me...
Katniss: sure...
Peeta: Are you afraid of me?
Katniss: no...
Peeta: than what are you scared of?
Katniss: be without you again... it was hell... when you were in the Capitol I couldn't function, I risked everyone's life just to have you near me, and when you came back...
She stopped, I knew what she was about to say. I didn't come back as myself.
Peeta: I miss you much Katniss, I knew you were expecting me to come back at that time and hug you forever, never letting go... I really wish I could! It wasn't my fault...
Katniss: I know, and I don't blame you for that... I just pictured in my head so many time how everything would go and when you tried to kill me I broke down... I'm so glad you're back to me...
I brought her to my arms and smiled.
Peeta: I'm so happy that I can see your smile again. When Haymitch told me how you were I thought you would never smile again... I didn't think I was capable of making you smile...
Katniss: you can, only you can!
Peeta: I didn't know you were a sap!
Katniss: HEY! I'm not, I'm tough... I went through two hunger games, a rebellion and a war!
Peeta: Oh I know that girl on fire... I was also there Ms. Mockingjay!
She laughed and came closer to me.
Katniss: Still I have those nightmares at night...
Peeta: Are you trying to ask me to stay here for the night?
Katniss: Will you?
I laughed and her face got serious, did she really think I would leave?
