The next morning, I woke up in Peeta's arms. I laid there for short while and just took on his scent, and kissing his salty skin, it was euphoric. When I got up Katniss wasn't awake yet, and the more I think about it she's lot like Annie; weak, frail, and needs kindness. So I just wove some bowls and thought about how my life could be if I were to stay with Peeta forever, and it started to scare me, I don't think I could ever be completely normal with him, with anybody, I'm too broken. After I got the bowls done I made a matt and covered Peeta, and Katniss who slept next to us. I guess she knows now, she has to or she's just dumb.

After that I went in the water and swam down as far as I could looking for food, and I ended up finding some shell fish. I got as many could fit in one of the bowls which I assumed was more than enough for the three of us. Just as soon as I sat down and split open my first oyster Katniss woke up. She was scratching in her sleep, which I thought was funny because she told us not to. Stops me. I've been scratching my skin raw in my sleep.

"You know, if you scratch you'll bring on infection," I couldn't help but to say that...

"That's what I've heard," she went into the water to wash off the blood I guess.

She looked pissed then stared straight up and yelled at Haymitch

"Hey, Haymitch, if you're not too drunk, we could use a little something for our skin."

And just like that a parachute came down with a tube of disgusting looking medicine. She started rubbing it all over herself and the combination of scabs and dark green ointment on her skin was ghastly. She tried handing to me and I really didn't want to put it on to look the way she did, but I took it anyway.

"You know Katniss it looks like your decomposing"

It made her scoff and she just told me to put it on, but as soon as I put on the crap the itching stopped and it felt soo good, but I looked so gross "Poor Finnick. Is this the first time in your life you haven't looked pretty?"

"It must be. The sensation's completely new. How have you managed it all these years?"

"Just avoid mirrors. You'll forget about it,"

"Not if I keep looking at you,"

I guess she was just trying to be nice in that odd Katniss kind of way, I still thought it was rude but remembered how Peeta was with her and laughed along with her. She turned around and asked me if I could do her back, and I was trying this new nice thing so I did it, but didn't let her do mine I was saving that for Peeta. Then out of the blue she said she was going to go get Peeta up.

"No, wait, let's do it together. Put our faces right in front of his."

Well, there's no reason that Peeta shouldn't see me first thing when he wakes up. She agreed. We positioned ourselves on both sides of Peeta's face and we leaned over until our faces are inches from his nose, and give him a shake.

"Peeta. Peeta, wake up," Katniss said in a soft, singsong voice.

His eyelids fluttered open and then he jumps like we've stabbed him. "Aa!"

Katniss and I fell back in the sand, laughing our heads off. Every time we try to stop, we look at Peeta's attempt to maintain a disdainful expression and it sets us off again. By the time we pull ourselves together, I'm thinking that maybe Katniss isn't that bad for a psychopath. Then all the sudden some bread from my district appears from the sky, I guess nice to Katniss means food.

"Hey guys this bread will go good with the food. Hey Katniss do you think you could slice the bed and de-meat the fish science I got it all?" I tried really hard not to sound like and ass while talking to her because the tiniest thing can set that girl off into a fire rocket.

"Sure, I'll do it, just help Peeta with the ointment"

"Alright can-do Katniss" I replied.

Peeta looked at me with his left eyebrow raised as if to ask why I'm being nice to her all the sudden.

"I'm only being nice to her for you, Peeta; if she is anything like Annie she needs this."

"Thanks Finnick she really does, now are you going to explain to me why your skin is green?"

"Oh, that's right we got some ointment for the scabs it helps a lot, here let me put it on you."

Peeta ripped off his practically disintegrated jumpsuit I positioned. myself behind Peeta, straddled his back, and squeezed a hand full of the gunk into my palms, rubbed my hands together, and as soon as my hands touched Peeta's chest he let out one of the most spectacular moans of relief, and it nearly got me hard; which would have been bad being in only a wet pair of boxer briefs. After I got done with Peeta chest I moved down to his abs and all the way he was moaning, and after all of this I still had to do his back, which was not nearly as arousing as the rest of him. When I was done with Peeta I had him do my back so we repositioned and I laid flat, he got on top of me and I felt his member pressing against my ass. We just tried to pretend it wasn't there but just feeling the cooling relief of the medicine was orgasmic alone, and now this, but we fought through.

"Hey, Finnick sorry for that" Peeta said to me as he got up.

"Its okay, were just going to have to save it for a while, or at least until tonight when Katniss goes to sleep." I told to him as I rolled over and stood, and started walking hand in hand to Katniss.

When we reached Katniss she had the all of the food out of the shells and she even sliced the bread.

"Hey guys took you long enough. So Finnick did I do it right" Katniss asked as we came up to her

"Yeah! You did great Katniss and sorry we took so long Peeta was skeptical of the ointment at first." I said as happy as a child that just caught there first fish.

After that we sat down and started drinking the water and shoveling food down and savoring the salty bread from my district. Then all the sudden we see a giant wave go through one side of the arena and even though were far away from the damn thing the water rose and tried to carry all of our stuff, we managed to keep our weapons, but lost our jumpsuits, it didn't really matter they were useless anyways. After that we heard a cannon shoot and saw someone get carried away, that makes tw0elve of us left.

That's when we spot a group of "things" coming, they were red I couldn't tell if they were mutts or people.
