"I'm sorry, what?" I barely had the strength to even talk. It's not that I was upset, I was just more shocked then if I found out I had a few hours to live.

"We're gay. It sort of just happened, yano." Gale giggled. Gale is big and strong and manly, how could he be gay?

"Well, so my turn. I'm with Cato. Ha!" I yelled and giggled right back. Peeta and Gale rolled their eyes and sniffed a laugh.

"Obviously. You think Peeta doesn't notice when he rubs your leg and you two holds hand in class?" Gale sarcastically commented at me. They both stood up and I followed them back to their car and Peeta drove me home.


"Yes, well, me and Haymitch are trying but you know how Katniss can be.." Effie tittered as I walked into the house, I usually just run upstairs and mind me own business but the way Effie was trying to charm someone, seduced me to walk into the kitchen and find Effie and Cato sitting on the dining table laughing together and laughing.

"What the hell?" I asked shocked. Why is Cato at my house?

"Hey, I was just around the area and thought I'd stop by and say hi." Cato smiled at me and stood up.

"Katniss, you didn't tell me you have a boyfriend!" Effie chimed and grabbed Cato's arm sweetly. My head automatically fell into my hand and I crinkled my face up in annoyance at my so called 'Aunt'.

"He's not my.." I tried to finish the sentence but I really just couldn't get there. I didn't know what me and Cato were.

"Anyway, it was good talking to you, Effie. I guess I'll just see you at school then, Katniss." Cato smiled and started to escape from the kitchen but Effie would budge.

"No, Cato! You must definitely stay for dinner! It'll be ready in about an hour or so." Effie smiled and got up and ran over to the stove. I sighed and grabbed his hand and tugged him upstairs to my room.

"Ugh, sorry about that. She..has problems" I said, while I opened my door and let him into my room. Cato laughed and looked around. There wasn't anything strangely weird in here but I felt really self-conscious.

"Nice." Was all Cato said and turned back to me, smiling. I smiled back and dropped my head.

"Uh, thanks." I said and walked up to him, he automatically wrapped his arms around my waist and bent down and gave me a quick kiss on the lips.

"Thank YOU for that" Cato chuckled and kissed me again. When our kisses became more heated and passionate, Cato pulled away suddenly. "You know how Effie said I'm your boyfriend. Am i?" Cato asked, slightly nervous.

"I dunno. Are you? I'm not good at this stuff." I said, rubbing my hands up and down my arms, nervously.

"Sure, alright. I'm your boyfriend." Cato smiled.

"Just like that?" I questioned. What the hell was he going on about? We hardly knew each other.

"Just like that." He repeated and grabbed my waist tighter and pulled me towards him. He bent down towards me and kissed me longer. I sniffed a giggle and kissed him back. They became longer and hotter. I ran my fingers through his short blonde hair and his hands slowly slid from my back to my ass. I pushed my tongue into his mouth, approving. He slowly gave it a tight, soft squeeze and started guiding me towards my bed. I slowly bent down onto it and he climbed on top of me. I grew tired of the same thing, as if Cato read my mind, he slowly kissed away from my mouth and down to my neck. Flickering his tongue to my skin, hardly but it was there. I moaned in satisfaction and gripped his hair tighter and my hands dropped from there to his shoulder blades. I could feel his muscles change from place to place as he dropped down closer or back up further. His hands glided from my sides, up to my stomach and under my shirt. The way his hands were against my skin was like magic. His lips floated up back to my lips and he slipped his tongue back into my mouth. He leaned back off of me and brought me to the top of his body and I leaned down on him and pushed my hair away from my face. He cradled my face gently then slid away and leaned on my back. Our kisses never broke. My breathing got heavy and I felt like I shouldn't breathe out onto him in case I had bad breath.

"You know Effie could come in any time right?" I laughed, trying not to leave his lips.

"Doesn't faze me. She loves me." Cato breathed out and lifted my legs up and leant up so I sat on his lap and held my ribs. I could feel Cato's erection against me. I carefully lifted my knee and brushed it against his boner. Cato moaned deeply and climbed on top of me again.

"CATO, KATNISS, DINNER!" Effie yelled from downstairs. Clearly she knows what would happen with two hormonal teens in a bedroom, and not planning to walk in on it. I mentally thanked her, and wiggled my body out of Cato's and he sulked disapprovingly. I grabbed his head and pulled him back out of my room and into the kitchen.


I went into the kitchen the next day and pulled a green apple from the fruit bowl.

"Well, well, well. You're boyfriend seems..sweet." Haymitch smirked and waltzed into the kitchen.

"Thankyou." I smiled. "It topped off the dinner when you passed out on your plate." I said and kissed him on the cheek and ran out the front door to Cato waiting in his car for me.

"So, what are you planning to happen when we walk into school and all your friends look at us?" I said while Cato drove us to school. He smiled when he heard my question.

"I guess you were right. They were never really my friends." Cato said lightly and shrugged like dropping your friends were nothing. I didn't touch the subject again. But when we got to School. We both got out of the car and eyes were automatically on us. Cato laughed and pulled me closer to him and grabbed my hand tightly.

We walked into roll call and Glimmer's face was like Christmas. She looked at us, then down at our hands then her mouth dropped open and she growled in frustration. Clove scoffed and glared at Cato.

"Nice to know where you loyalty is, Cato." Clove spat and turned back towards Glimmer. Cato coughed quietly and went and sat with me in my back corner.

"You don't have to do this." I whispered to him.

"I do." He whispered back.

The rest of the day was full of stares off random people and popular people glaring. We sat with Gale and Peeta at lunch but even they were staring. Before they could pull away, I had an outburst.

"It's not that weird!" I yelled, half laughing at the same time. Gale, Peeta and Cato all laughed and turned back, fascinated with their lunches.


Cato drove me home and kissed me goodbye before I hopped up and skidded up the front stairs. Before I could open the door, it was quickly opened for me. Effie stood in the front door, the look on her face was full of warning, afraid, frightened and anger. I immediately felt afraid and wanted to help whatever was bothering Effie.

"Katniss. Welcome home. A friend has come to visit." Effie smiled and stepped aside for me to come in. I cautiously stepped through the threshold and became face to face with the one person I never expected to see again.

"Katniss Everdeen. Long time, no see." The old man smiled and opened up his arms.

"President Snow."
