Words Never Spoken: A Gatniss Oneshot~
He loved her. Ever since that day in the forest, when she was 12 and he was 14.. he loved her. He loved her eyes, her heart, the way she used a bow and arrow, her smile. And he was finally going to tell her...
Gale Hawthorne walked into the square to wait for the Reaping. He caught his beautiful best friends' eye and smiled reassuringly. Then the unthinkable happened.
"Primrose Everdeen!" Effie Trinket said. Suddenly, Katniss ran up to the podium.
"I volunteer! I volunteer as tribute!" she yelled breathlessly. The most he could do is half hope that his name was drawn..
"Peeta Mellark!" she trilled. Peeta went up to the stage, shook hands with Katniss and they were gone.
-A Few Hours Later-
Gale waited for Prim and Mrs. Everdeen to come out of Katniss' temporary room. Suddenly, the doors opened, and there was his Catnip- looking sad as she rushed into his arms.
The two friends stayed in that position for what seemed like hours. Gale cleared his throat and was about to finally confess his feelings for her as the doors opened.
"Time's up, Hawthorne." a Peacekeeper said. Gale got up and gazed at her as the Peacemaker began to get impatient.
"Katniss, remember I-" his words were cut off as he was dragged out of the room. Katniss could only gaze after him, wondering what he was going to say.
She never found out what he was going to say, until later. That he loved her. And after seeing that she was going to go into the Games, that he definitely wanted to tell her in case she didn't come out.
