Gale thought back to the morning of the reaping, it seemed like just another day with Katniss. He remembered thinking strange satisfying thoughts about her, smile, kiss, body…But then he threw the thought away just as fast. He would never have her that way, never think like that…

Gale sure didn't feel that way now, he just pretended otherwise. He'd admit he lied to himself yesterday, because he did end up watching the Hunger Games. Watched as Katniss was wrapped in Peeta's arms, kissing him. Soothing words coming out of her mouth, and Then! She risked her life for him! She went to the blasted feast for him! HIM! H-I-M! Gale slammed his hand down on the table.

"Gale!" Vick shouted, "Mom he's day dreaming, again."

Gale glared at Vick, "Now he is going to kill me, ah!" Vick dramatically shouted. He jumped out of his seat, "Quick, Rory grab Gale's bow, he might try to shoot me."

Rory ran around the table and snatched Gale's bow, "Ahah! I got the bow!"

Gale grunted, "Um...guys?"

They both stopped and looked at him, "What?" they teased.

"I'm not going to kill you with my bow..." He said.

"Oh?" they said together, looking at him with question.

"No, I'll just use my hands." He said jumping up and started chasing them around the table. He caught Vick in his hands and started tickling him. They both laughed, Rory just watched from behind them. Until Gale noticed and snatched him into a tickle war. Mrs. Hawthorne started laughing at her ridiculous boys.

"Now-now." She said, "Finish breakfast, and then go to school. And Gale why haven't you hunted?"

Gale stopped laughing, "Um…no reason, just didn't feel like it." He said out of breath.

"Oh?" she asked, "Is that any was to feed two families?"

Gale frowned, "Oh, I'll hunt tonight." He waved his hand at her, hoping the conversation would end. He didn't want to go out alone, he wanted Katniss back home.

"Alright." She said briskly and went back to the dishes.

Rory and Vick and Posy as well headed to school. Gale just sat there and watched them leave.

I really don't know what to write, so I'm kind of just doing my best here. Hope I don't screw Gale up that much...Haha

He sat in the field later that evening picking small daises and tossing them into the wind. He wasn't about to do the "Picking off pedals thing" not his style. He just watched the daises blow away gently in the breeze. A chill ran down his spine and he imagined if Katniss were her what she would say.

"Gale?" she muttered. "What are you doing?" he smiled at her. "Wasting time? When you could be feeding my family? Day dreaming about love? When you could have just told me you loved me?" Gale winced.

Katniss wasn't here, Gale thought, and he doesn't want her to be.

"Are you confused? Or are you denying that you love me?" Imaginary Katniss asked coldly.

"Shut up!" Gale shouted to nothing just as the last daisy fell to the ground. He stared at it as tears sprang from his eyes. "Okay, I love you! I have for a long time! I may not be all gushy about it like Peeta! But I still do! I love you! I've known you longer…don't I have rights?" He screamed.

Katniss smirked, "No one has rights over me Gale. And you of all people should know that!"

Gale sighed wiping tears away, "Yeah, I know that. But you're just pretending?"

Katniss smirked again, but then she finished without answering Gale's question.

Gale let out a breath, "Right?"

Still there's more, but I like that ending for this really short chapter…how about you? Huh? Review please!
