A/N: No, I am not done with my Building the Haddock Family. I just wanted to start a Keeta one before I forgot my idea. And I know the titles are almost the same(If you want a story, review with a summary, pairing, and a title please!)

Now on to the story!;-)

Come on Peeta. You had the courage and bravery to go fight in the Hunger Games. You loved her enough to throw her bread, even though you knew your mom would beat you half to death if you got caught. So why can't you do it? Why can't you get down on one knee and ask her to marry you? All this was running through Peeta Mellark's head. He was 17, almost 18. His girlfriend, Katniss, was turning 18 next week. He wanted to give her something special.

Not just chocolate.

Not just a necklace.

Not just a bracelet.

Not just flowers.

Not even all of those things would work.

His beautiful Katniss deserved the perfect gift.

If only he had the courage to do it.

He thought carefully. He loved Katniss with all his heart. He wanted her. So, he made up his mind. He went to the small jewelry store on the corner. The clerk said, " Welcome Sir! How may I help you?"

Peeta replied,"Well, it's Katniss's birthday next week. I want to give her something special."

The clerk, obviously not catching the hint, told him," Well everything is on sale. This beautiful mocking jay necklace is only $15!"

"Well, uh, Katniss already has a mocking jay pin. So she wouldn't like that. Anyway, I MEANT I need a RING. As in, an ENGAGEMENT RING!", Peeta exclaimed.

The puzzled clerk asked, "But I thought you were already married?"

"No. That was a lie for the capitol. I loved Katniss, and was trying to protect her by letting her go home I hoped," Peeta explained.

"Ahhh. Well here is a gold ring with a silver diamond. It is $100, but I will give it to you for $50."

"Thank you so much!" Peeta told him, happily paying for the ring and taking it.

He wrapped it in a sunset orange box. They loved watching the sunset together. That gave him an idea.

At Katniss's birthday party, he simply gave her a card with a picture of a sunset on it. Inside it said:

My beautiful perfect Katniss,

I love you so much! Happy birthday! Please meet me at the edge of the district to watch the sunset.

Love,

Peeta

Katniss smiled, but looked a little disappointed. She walked to the edge of the district, wondering what this was all about. She knew Peeta was up to something. He was not the type of boyfriend to just give her a card, even to simply take her to do their favorite thing ever!

Once there, she saw Peeta pacing back and forth.

"My beautiful, perfect Katniss, I love you with all my heart. I always have", Peeta told her. He was so nervous. He was sweating like crazy, and was about to wet his pants! "I love you too, Peeta," Katniss told him. Encouraged by those 4 words, he continued. He knelt down on one knee, then said," Will you (great he had just wet himself out of nerves!) marry me?" He finished.
