When Katniss and Peeta got to the Capitol they didn't know what to expect, but it was pretty much what they had in mind.
It was over the top, different, expensive, glamorous, weird; those kind of things. Katniss didn't know why Peeta said it was incredible. She kind of understood why he said it but then again, she didn't. All she saw was a trap and she was caught right in the middle of it.
They got off the train and travelled to their new 'home', that's what Effie called it anyway. It was not a home and everyone knew it. Katniss didn't mean to be mean to Effie but she just felt like Effie was trying to be another mother or something. Maybe she was just that nice, but Katniss never like girly, confident women. Or men for that matter.
When they made it to their new 'home' and it was the most, well there wasn't just on word to use for it. But different and expensive was a good start.
There was expensive furniture everywhere and there were strange people in the corners in red and look awfully depressed.
"Okay, since it's late you two should probably go off to bed." Haymich said and Katniss and Peeta blushed like mad.
"Not together," Haymich said and Effie held back a smile.
"Oh right, yeah." Peeta said scurrying off and Katniss followed.
Haymich just laughed and Effie smiled lightly.
"I like those two, though the girl has no manners but the boy is nice."
"Yeah, but their names aren't 'girl' and 'boy' sweetheart, its Katniss and Peeta."
"What did you call me?"
"It's something I call everyone, sweetheart. Now come on to bed."
"Excuse me?!" Effie shrieked in horror.
"What? No I didn't mean you and I, together-" Haymich was cut off by Effie slapping him round the face and storming off.
"Okay, well I had that coming." Haymich said walking off to his room and falling asleep. But it wasn't like Katniss wasn't still awake, or Peeta for that matter.
She walked out of her room and into the main room where she was earlier that day. She wasn't expecting to see anyone there but she saw someone.
Standing there in front of the window staring at the busy city under it, it was Peeta. He was standing there looking out the window staring at the scenery dreamily, obviously no paying attention.
"Hey," Katniss says making Peeta jump from concentration.
"Hey, you scared me."
"Obviously," Katniss says laughing.
"What are you doing up?" He asks.
"Same as you I guess."
"Yeah… The Hunger Games." He says with a sarcastic voice.
"Yeah, not looking forward to it, you've seen what it's done to Haymich. The fame got too much and people pushed him into doing stuff he didn't want to do. And now he's an alcoholic, I don't want to end up like that. Not that he's a bad guy or anything but…"
"No I get it, I know what you mean. We'll be here for a long time; we just have to only listen to our mentors."
"Yeah, wait, won't you listen to me or I to you?" Katniss asked looking straight at him. He was now sitting down, leaning up against the table behind him so the window was in front of them. She came over to him to sit but never let go of his stare.
"I'll listen to you then, but how do I know I can trust you?" He said raising an eyebrow.
"And I you?"
"You say that a lot," He said laughing and Katniss laughed too, she was now sitting next to him with her knees to her chest but they weren't tight on her chest, her knees are up limply.
"What do you want to know to trust me?" Peeta asked.
That got Katniss going. They asked questions for ages about one another's families and friends. They didn't get to personal with things, just the basics.
Even though it was a simple conversation, Katniss never talked like this with someone. Yes, Gale and Madge knew stuff about her but not all of this. Not what she felt about things, but why was she so comfortable around Peeta. Comfortable to tell him all this and they had only seen each other once.
"Do you trust me know?" Peeta asked leaning his head a little forward.
"Yeah," Katniss said blushing.
"… How much?" He asked again, still leaning.
"Too much," And that was the last thing they said to each other because they closed the distance between them.
TBC…
Okay, I know it was a rushed first kiss. But I have a twist for it and no, she doesn't get pregnant from it. LOL, but I do know what I'm doing people. And I just love the Effie and Haymich relationship, hope I got the comedy threw. Well hope you like, R&R please and hank you's and I'll be writing soon!
