FIRST FANFIC EVER, PLEASE REVIEW.
Mutts. They chased after his limping form, determined to rip him to shreds. I speed after them, calling out his name only to have the mutts move faster. He tripped and they clawed at his slowly dying body. I shot all of them with by arrows, all making the eye. I drop the bow and race to his side and clutch his mangled body close to me.
"Peeta, please don't go! I'm sorry this is all my fault I-"
"Shh. Don't. Just know that I love you. I'll be watching over you. Just, do me a favor?" he asks me growing paler by the minute.
"Anything" I say crying
"Let him love you. I know that it won't be the same but at least try. Get married, have kids, be happy. Just don't forget me," blood starts filling his mouth as he tries to complete his final words "please just remember me. Remember everything I've done and tell my family I love them. Even if my mother didn't love me just tell her. I love you"
His eyes close and I fall onto his chest. Sobs rack my body until I feel him moving under me. I look up and see a mutt version of the boy I love. Same curly blonde hair shinny white teeth, but it's the eyes that force me to stay. His blue eyes still radiates love and adoration so I don't even flitch when he sinks his teeth into my face.
I wake gasping for air and I feel strong firm hands wrapped around me. I hug him back and sob into his chest. I see Gale watching us intently but I don't care. I need him. I need my dandelion in the spring, something that means rebirth instead of destruction. A promise that life will go on no matter how bad our losses. That it can be good again. No matter Peeta's hijacking, or Prim's death, we will always have each other; he will always be my boy with the bread.
So when Peeta whispers "You love me, real or not real?"
I don't hesitate when I say "Real"
Fin.
