Hey there readers! Ok, since my account would get suspended if I just made this into a story, the actuall announcement will be at the end. Thanks for the reviews! This chapter was made by high demand. :D

Chapter Seven: Katniss Hawthorne?

Katniss

Gale, Posy and Prim went ahead of me, while I walked quietly to think. I sighed as I heard small giggles coming from Prim. Gale's good with kids. Prim and Posy espically. I kicked a small pebble across the grass. But why do I feel so mad at him over that? Why am I so upset about the whole thing? Why does it even matter anyway. I can't even have Gale. He's just my brother. Let's leave it at that.

I clentched my fists together. The past was behind us now, but why was ths feeling of mixed emotions toward Gale still lingering on? The more I tried to think of him as my brother, the angrier I became with myself. Yet, when I didn't think of him, he seemed irresistable.

Katniss. What on earth are you thinking?

I suddenly wished that I was alone with him.

He was just so...

But even I knew that it couldn't happen. I was exactly opposite of most girls in the Seam. While they were fussing about their apperance, I would simply let my hair loose or put in a braid, and wear whatever I felt was best for the weather. I also lacked knowledge in anything that had to do with being a 'girl'.

Is that was he liked?

I really couldn't consider going out with him. But whenever I thought of it, I acted differently. Like how my mother used to when my father used to be around. I would blush, start giggling, and act strange. I sighed at the possiblilty of being closer to Gale. Yes, it did have its perks, but honestly, I didn't fit under the 'marrying type' catergory. I was more of a 'best friend who concidentaly is a girl'.

Gale and Katniss Hawthorne.

I suddenly wished that I was a Hawthorne.

Gale

Katniss held a steady pace behind us while I kept an eye on the girls. I tried not to bother her, but every now and then I'd allow myself to steal a quick glance at her. Katniss was making me worried. Ever since our conversation recently, she was avoiding me constantly. What is up with Catnip? We used to be close, but now she probably hates me.

I secretly started hating myself for whatever I did that made Katniss avoid me.

But maybe shes not mad Gale. She probably has something else in mind.

The worried feeling suddenly went away, as I came up with a better soulution to Katniss' refusal to see me.

"Hey Prim!" I said, as the girl stopped Posy, and faced me.

"Huh?" She replied.

"Listen, its about Katniss." I said, suddenly feeling stupid for asking a twelve year old for dating advice.

"What about Katniss?"

I took a deep breath before figuring out what to say, since I knew I'd end up sounding completly messed up.

"What were you and Katniss talking about before?"

Prim placed her hand toward her cheek and started thinking.

"Well, don't tell her I told you this, but I think she was talking about you. She seems to talk about you at home alot too."

Posy gave me an amused look that said 'I told you so!'

"What does she say?"

"You know, the usal stuff. Things like what you guys talked about, or what you guys did that day and stuff."

I felt my shoulders drop.

"Has she ever said anything else?"

"Like what?" Prim asked, blue eyes puzzled.

"Like..."

"Gale!" I heard before I finished the sentence. Posy, Prim and I turned around to see Katniss catching up to us. I gave Prim a nod to take Posy and go ahead. Whatever Katniss wanted to tell me had to be important.

"Catnip! Is something wrong?" I asked, trying to keep the panic out of my voice.

"Everythings alright. But I wanted to talk to you."

I felt Katniss' hand against my shoulder as she caught her breath. After a few seconds, she started talking again.

"Gale?" She said, grey eyes meeting mine.

"Before you say anything, you're not gonna go all girly on me are you?"

Katniss punched my arm and playfully rolled her eyes before continuing.

"No, why would you think that? Anyway, remember what we talked about before? It kinda got me thinking."

"Thinking about what? You want kids?''

She shook her head.

"Gale, what I ment was-"

"I think I know what you mean."

She looked confused, which couldn't keep me from laughing. When I stopped, Katniss sighed before talking.

"Gale, this is gonna sound like the stupidest, dumbest, most idiotic thing I'll ever tell you, but here goes. "(A/N Katniss is telling Gale something? Wonder what it is *hint hint*)

"I like you. I like you alot Gale. Ever since a few days ago, it's been driving me crazy. So there."

Without another word, she kissed my cheek. I smiled, then laughed alittle.

"You missed." I said, holding her closer.

"Missed what?" Katniss said, looking more confused then before.

"This."

Leaning in more, I kissed her back.

Now it was my turn to be the stupid idot.

"Katniss, I've always felt the same way, but I didn't want to tell you because I didn't know how you'd react."

Katniss' eyes wandered, but she still held onto my shoulders. She let her head fall againt my shoulder, removing her hand.

"Gale." I heard Katniss whisper.

"Hmm?"

"Am I being too stupid?" I had to bite my lip to keep myself from laughing.

"Not at all." I said, before holding her tighly, and hugging her.

Primrose & Posy

They've been gone for awhile. I thought, as I let Posy pick some more wildflowers lying around us. It was a few more minutes before I became worried.

"Pos, I'm just gonna see what they're doing ok? It'll only be a second."

Posy nodded, and continued looking at plants.

I turned my head and let my jaw drop at a sight I'd never think I'd see.

Gale Hawthorne and Katniss Everdeen. Together. Kissing.

"Posy!" I said. "You gotta come see this!"

A/N

Much waited for romance! ;D

Sorry for the delay. I wanted to post this earlier, but I've been having writers block on everything, and I had a really bad migrane headache. So here's the announcement :

I'm planning to write another story for my other current fandom (Kingdom Hearts/Organization XIII), but I'm really stuck. So that's where you guys, (Breakaway readers), come in.

I need OC's!

I need a plot!

I even need a co-author!

And most importantly, I need to know what you guys like!

What do you wanna see SerenityColtheart do next?

Would you rather have a SYOT or a Kingdom Hearts story?

Please, along with your review, tell me your opinion!

Thank you so much!
