AU: Peeta and Katniss are both doctors working in a hospital in District 3. Inspired by the characters of Grey's Anatomy. Modern day.
Katniss really does not want to be here. Yes, she is about to enter a highly prized medical program, but things hadn't turned out the way she expected. After the loss of her sister Prim to a car crash and her mother's suicide she was alone and had no other choice but to do the only thing she ever knew how to do: practice medicine.
Her mother was one of the greatest surgeons Panem had ever seen. There was no medical enigma she could not solve, except her own clinical depression from the loss of her husband at a mining accident. Circumstance led Katniss to be alone, living in their old house in District 3 and about to join a surgical program. Oh, and there was also the blonde man in her bedroom.
"Good morning", he said with a smile. "Quite a nice day outside, isn't it?"
"Yeah, it's okay I guess."
Katniss was determined not to focus on his naked body and to send him out immediately. She didn't like romantic company, in fact, she had her sights set out on living alone and childless. But this didn't mean she could stay away from the eventual one night stand, which was what the blonde man was.
But he didn't seem to know that. He made his way into the kitchen and started cooking breakfast.
"You know, this is really awkward because I really can't remember your name and I'm late for my first day of work so I have to go." She blurted out. "But, um, help yourself." She gestured to the food he was already cooking. God, could he just give it a rest. Katniss made her way up the staircase to look for some work clothes.
"I'll be out in a minute." He yelled so she could hear him from the second floor.
Katniss picked a dark green shirt and simple beige pants and braided her hair like she always did. She picked up her purse and ran down the stairs, only to find the blonde man standing at their end.
"By the way, my name is Peeta." He said. Katniss looked at his deep blue eyes. She hadn't seen them before in the darkness of the bar and then her bedroom.
"Okay, Peeta, I'm late so have a nice life." She gave Peeta one last look and went out the door. He followed and offered her a ride to work in his car, which was parked outside her house.
Katniss dismissed him and took the bus. She didn't want to spend any other second looking at his handsome face or thinking about how skilled his hands were in the dark. She just wanted to go to work and forget all about it.
