Hey everyone! This fanfic has been floating around in my head for a while now, but I kept forgetting to actually type it up. I recently read the Hunger Games and absolutely loved them! I also really love Katniss and Peeta together. Hope you enjoy!
Her Solace
Katniss looked around frantically, but her sister was no where to be found. She heaved a sigh of relief just as a voice rang out, piercing Katniss's heart.
"Prim no!" she cried out.
Prim found her sister's face and started towards her. Katniss begged her sibling to run, but it was too late.
"Katniss!" Prim's scream was torn from her throat as the explosions erupted all around her.
"Prim! No Prim!" Katniss bolted upright in her bed, shrieking her little sister's name.
A pair of arms wrapped around her and a voice whispered softly in her ear, "Shh, shh. It was just a dream Katniss. You're okay. Shh, I'm here."
Katniss's shrieks dissolved into sobs that raked her whole body. Peeta quietly rocked her in his arms until her breathing had become steady again. Katniss clutched him tightly, still refusing to release herself from his arms. Peeta adorned the top of her head with kisses, whispering reassurances all the while. As his lips began to trail down the side of her face, Katniss realized that she had been needing more from Peeta for quite some time now. She turned around to face him, trying to focus on his face in the dim room.
"Katniss, what's wrong?" Peeta inquired, reaching out a hand to touch her cheek.
"Nothing, it's just..." Katniss's voice trailed off as she felt her face flush in the darkness.
She was about to say never mind and turn back around, when she felt the sensation of Peeta's lips on her own. Katniss kissed him back and knew that this was the solace she had been craving. There were no cameras, no tributes, no arena. There was just the girl on fire and the boy with the bread.
