"Gale!" Katniss screams. She pushes her way through the crowd but is tripped halfway through. Peeta's gut felt queasy. He wanted to scream and that's just what he did.

"GALE!" He screamed, pushing through the crowed, not caring if anyone else was hurt. "Stop it! Stop it you freak!" Peeta screams spreading his body in front of his bloody friend. "Ahh!" A whip struck him across the chest and then came Katniss.

"Stop!" She screamed putting herself in front of Peeta. "What are you doing?" She whispered to Peeta, "Get out of here!"

"No I need to help h-... You and your frie- cousin." Suddenly the whip slashed across Katniss' face, fireworks went off in her eyes and she stumbled back into Peeta's arms.

"Stop it right now!" Haymitch, thank goodness for this raggedy drunk coming too the rescue. "Do you see what you did! You harmed my victors beautiful face! How do you think this will make her look at her wedding!" Haymitch threatened the new man with an angry fist, "This will never heal in time! And I think you've whipped this poor boy enough sir!" Haymitch undid the knot around the beautiful bloody boys wrists and held him in his arms. "Now off with you! Off with you all!" Haymitch screamed at everyone and glared at the newest peacekeeper. "Come on, we need to get home and get you guys fixed up." They headed for Katniss' house.

"Gale is hurt bad!" Katniss screams out as she slams the door open.

"He'll be fine." Her mother smiles warmly and explains, "You are hurt bad too, your eye is really bad, Katniss. I'll take care of Gale sweety." She ran her fingers through her daughters hair. "You must get to sleep."

"I want to stay with Ga-"

"No." Haymitch cut her off. "Get to sleep." His voice was stern, Peeta stood behind him with a scowl glued onto his face.

"What is this?" Katniss asked.

"Peeta is going to take care of Gale." Haymitch explains, "Your hurt. You need to sleep and heal."

"But-"

"I don't want to hear it Katniss." Haymitch growled and he brought Peeta to the kitchen. Primrose and Katniss' mother coaxed her into getting to sleep.

"Why do I have to stay with him Haymitch?" Peeta's big blue eyes bore into his skull, a small gleam of light reflected off of them making him seem oh' so innocent. A small patch of blood showed through his white shirt.

"You aren't hurt too bad and you aren't old. That whip barely cut your shirt." Haymitch smiled, "Plus I know that your a nice guy so you'll take care of him. Toodleoo!" Haymitch waved his fingers as he exited the house leading a gust of cool air through the kitchen.

Gale shivered with the freezing air and Peeta suddenly felt a twinge of responsibility. Before he could stop himself he was adjusting a blanket over the neck and feet of the adorable sleeping man. Peeta sighed as he looked at the comfort on gales face. Warm, and not feeling a speck of the pain from his whipping. Peeta's face felt warm as he thought of how cute this sleeping man was. 'Cute?' Peeta thought to himself. 'I cant think he's cute! He's a guy.' Suddenly two warm grey eyes were blinking open, looking straight up into the beautiful blue ones bestowed before him.

"Am I in heaven?" Gale whispered in a raspy voice and squinted up at Peeta.

"Wha-?" Peeta was taken aback at this remark.

"Shit..." Gale whispered as his face flushed over with red.

"Uhh. You aren't in heaven..." Peeta's teeth were pulling at his own pink lip, making gales face grow even redder.
