Hey so this is just a little blurb of something that my mind has been perseverating on for awhile. Thanks for reading. THis is just a one shot but I should have other stories up soon.
I woke up almost frantic because someone is knocking on the door. I see that Katniss is asleep still. I untangle my limbs from hers and creep down the steps as slowly as I can, with my prosthetic. I open the door in my flannel pajama pants and an old grey t-shirt with paint all over it, as the cold air hits me, I nearly laugh at the sight. Gale is clutching a bottle of white liquor and it is sloshing all over the place, in the street there is at least four other empty bottles of white liquor, all smashed. Gale nearly as drunk as Haymitch, I end up actually laughing. "I wanna ssee Catnipss." Gale slurs. "She's sleeping right now come back when you're sober and then you can talk." I say holding back more laughter.
"I WANT TO SEE CATNIP." Gale yells, effectively wiping the grin off of my face.
"Her name is KATNISS, and she is sleeping. You're drunk Gale go home." I say enunciating Katniss's name.
"I NEED TO SEE KATNISS. I HAVE TO TELL HER I LOVE HER AND THAT I AM SORRY!" Gale yells dropping the bottle of white liquor on the ground. I attempt to shut the door but his drunken hand catches the door.
"I HAVE TO SEE HER! Shit that hurt." Gale says louder now.
"She is sleeping, and she will probably shoot you if you even step foot in this house drunk." I say calmly, attempting to close the door again. He becomes irate and begins pounding on the door and throwing a temper tantrum like a two year old.
"What the hell is going on down here?" Katniss asks from the stairs, she has her bow and arrows in her hands.
"Gale's drunk again." I say. Katniss nods and comes down the stairs, I grin like a little kid because she is only wearing one of my shirts and it barely covers her butt. I open the door and Gale stumbles in. He sees Katniss with her bow and arrow aimed at his head, and stands up.
"Gale get out of my house. You are drunk. I don't care if you love me I love Peeta. Go home and stay out of my life." Katniss says threateningly. Gale mumbles something about me lying about her sleeping and then he stumbles into the street, slips on ice falls down. He curses as he gets up, and continues down the street. I close the door and Katniss looks a bit deflated.
I pull her in for a hug and then I kiss her. "What was that for?" Katniss asks. "Because I love you too. And I am so lucky that even though we had a fight last night, I still woke up with you cuddled up to me and you coming down here in only an oversized t-shirt and were ready to fight off anybody who even thinks about messing with you or your boyfriend." I grin as she turns red and then she kisses me. I carry her upstairs and let's just say the rest of it is for us to know and you never to find out.
