Okay, so this idea has been bouncing around in my head for awhile. I don't know if anyone's thought of it. If I'm ripping the idea, that was not my intention.
So, my last story, everyone seemed to hate Gale. He was kind of an ass so, it's all good. Not that I personally hate Gale, but I'm an Everlark fan first. In this story, Gale's not the bad guy. He's not the greatest guy, but...
All I need is one person to want the story to continue and I will do that. I hope it's well received. Thanks in advance for any support I might get for this.

"I can't do this shit anymore Gale!" They'd been having yet another fight. How they were still together, she didn't know.
Today's fight would be worse. They had just got home from a lunch date with their friends Finnick and Annie. As opposed to her and Gale's relationship, Finn and Annie were perfect for each other. They finished each others sentences, were constantly smiling, he loved her and she loved him regardless of all his antics. They were perfect for each other and they were happy.
All a meeting with them did is make them realize just how horrible their relationship was. While Finn and Annie shared lovable stories of one another, all Katniss could think was, Well Gale cheated on me a few months back. Oh and he did it again a few months before that. The sex is horrible. She could go on.
Of course, Katniss was no where near the perfect girlfriend either. She resented him for forcing her to leave her home town and she made it a point to let him know everyday; As if her usual scowl wasn't evidence enough. As for the communication portion to the relationship, Katniss rarely said anything outside the necessary, leaving Gale in the dark on several occasions. She also wasn't the typical woman. Where some women would have dinner ready for their men after a longs day work or have the house spotless, Katniss didn't do that. For one, Gale wasn't the only one who worked. She would work too. She would come home just as exhausted as Gale. Not to mention that Katniss couldn't cook to save her life. Gale never actually mentioned it to her or requested that of her, but Katniss could tell it was something he wanted from his potential spouse.
Today's lunch with the world's perfect couple had been particularly worse due to Annie's newly discovered pregnancy. She was glowing and Finnick wouldn't shut up about it; a proud father-to-be to no end. What pissed Katniss off was the fact that Gale kept glancing at her, as if asking "when are we having ours?" First off, Gale should know from their three year relationship that Katniss wanted nothing to do with children. She didn't want them and Gale still pursued her. Frankly, Katniss couldn't understand how Gale could be so stupid. Their three year relationship should be an indicator of how things weren't going to change with her. After three years and two failed marriage proposals, she still didn't want to get married and she still definitely didn't want kids. How could he possibly want kids with her at this point when their relationship was in the dumps?
Katniss didn't know why she was still hanging on. Gale did love her, that's what he said, and she loved him. She was starting to believe, though, that the love they shared, at least on her part, was platonic; it only existed in form of friend love, that's all. He was safe and she was afraid of change. Leaving Gale would require some effort on her part to get a new boyfriend, if she even wanted one after him.
"You can't just end it like this! You're not even trying!"
"Are you fucking kidding?!" She was furious, "I'm the only one in this relationship that gives a damn or an attempt at anything!"
"Now that's not true!" Gale tries to defend himself.
"Oh no?! Everything in this relationship has been for you! We moved here for you and your work."
"How long are you going to keep throwing that in my face?!" Gale paces the apartment in irritation.
"You want something else?! Alright, how about Glimmer or Cashmere or the hundreds of others you've never told me about?"
"It was only the two and I already apologized for that!"
"And that makes it okay for me?! I'm not the one who's trying?! At least I don't go putting my dick in any whore that walks my way when shit gets tough around here!" Katniss stares outside the apartment window in frustration, "Yet, my stupid self is still here." Gale approaches her and embraces her from behind. He kisses her neck gently hoping to calm her. She wanted to break up and he wasn't going down without putting out all the stops.
Katniss wouldn't fall for any of it. Sex was not Gale's strong suit. She had only ever been with Gale in that way, but she didn't know what the big hype was about. In truth, sex with Gale was beyond awful. He was a selfish lover, only looking out for himself and getting his. On more than one occasion, Katniss had to finish herself off once Gale wore himself out on top of her. There was never any variety either; it was always her on the bottom with him on top. She wouldn't even know what an orgasm was if it wasn't for her very own hands. But that was her. While most couples raved on and on about sex with their boyfriends, she loathed it. If she could run from it, she would.
Katniss shrugs away from him, shuddering cruelly at the thought of sex with him. "That's not going to work!"
"I beg to differ." Gale tries seductively.
Katniss laughs at the intention, "And that's another thing," she starts, pointing at him, "That is just...awful. That's me being nice by the way."
"Now you're just being mean." He tells her, staring at her incredulously.
"No, Gale. I may not know much on the subject, but I know I shouldn't have to finish with you snoring in the background."
Gale looks to the floor embarrassed. "Maybe we could try some stuff. You know something different." He tells her.
"We've tried that already! It always ends with making you happy!" She almost yells. Last time she voiced her opinion it ended with a blow job for him and nothing for her. Before that, she had rented a bunch of costumes and played out Gale's fantasies. Still, nothing for her.
"Maybe we can do one of yours." Gale tells her. "A threesome, right?"
"Yea, that's what I want. To watch you have sex with another woman. Right in front of me!" She pulls away attempting to get away from all of it.
"No, come on." Gale goes to her, holding her face in his hands. "You said, one time, your biggest fantasy was a threesome. So...it would be you, me, and...another guy."
Katniss eyes widen. Her biggest fantasy had always been a threesome. Her and two men who would worship her for at least one night. She would never believe Gale would do anything like that.
"I'll believe it when I see it!" Katniss tells him, walking out of the apartment.
Gale stares at the door she just walked out from, "I guess we'll see."
Three guesses who the other guy will be, lol. As if you don't already know...
