The Broken Pieces That Make Me Who I Am
Chapter Ten: And The First Day Of Class Has Arrived
We both stripped down and I changed into a pair of sweat shorts before we crawled into bed and I crawled into Cato's arms. "This long weekend thing, are you sure you want me to go?"
"Of course, you are the only reason I'm willingly going." Cato replied kissing my forehead.
"Why is that?" I asked, curiosity getting the better of me.
"It's kind of boring but with you there I'll be occupied the whole time. I won't even have to get out of bed all weekend with you there." I could feel his smirk against my forehead.
"Yeah, keep dreaming mister. We all know a respectable lady or man in my case doesn't give it up until the sixth date. And since we haven't even been on one I think you may have a long way to go mister."
"Well then looks like you are going out every night this week for dinner." Cato joked.
"What ever, now stop talking so I can get some well needed rest before tomorrow, I'm so nervous about my first classes."
"You'll do fine Peeta." Cato kissed my forehead one more time before we both drifted off to sleep.
I woke up the next morning in the exact position I fell asleep in. I let out a deep breath before kissing Cato's chest. I looked over at my alarm clock before smirking to myself. "I thought you were going to get up early for your classes."
Cato's grip tightened on me as he inhaled deeply. "I am."
"Cato it's almost eight, my first class starts at nine thirty. What time is yours? You can't be late because of me mister." I ask snuggling into his arms even more.
"Ten so it doesn't matter that I haven't gotten out of bed yet." Cato mindlessly says probably not even bothering to open his eyes.
"Is that honestly the truth?" I ask just making sure he wasn't lying to spend more time with me, I didn't need Cato's dad hating me even more. The man didn't even really know me and seemed to hate me, so I didn't need to give him any real reasons for him to feel that way.
"Yes it is I swear." Cato replies kissing my forehead.
"Well lucky you, doesn't mean I don't have to get up now." I say stretching before I rolled out of his arms. "I'm going to go make some coffee." I say walking over to my door.
I walked out and headed towards the kitchen. I turned on the coffee machine and pulled out two mugs before I stood there and waited. I was glad I didn't feel all that nervous anymore, once the coffee was done I poured the coffee into the mugs. Just as I put the pot down Delly walked out. "Morning." I yawned as I turned to see she was already dressed and ready for her classes.
"Morning boo. How was last night?" She asked grabbing a glass and opening the fridge.
"Oh you know, could have gone a bit better, Cato's dad didn't seem to really like me but his mother and sister were alright." I reply taking a sip of my coffee.
She reappeared out from behind the fridge door. "So not all bad then?"
"Yeah not all bad. We kind of made it official though on the way to the restaurant."
"Oh really? Thank god because there is the cute guy I've seen around and now you have a boyfriend I can finally start looking for myself." Delly smirked drinking her juice.
"Yes you can, when's your first class?" I ask perching myself up on the kitchen bench.
"Nine so I need to leave soon." She replied looking at her phone.
Before I could ask her what time she would be home Cato walked out with the sheet from my bed wrapped around his hips. "Morning Delly."
"Morning Cato." Delly replied with a smirk. I could feel my cheeks start to heat up, how was it I was the one blushing right now?
"Um Peeta think I can borrow something to wear back to mine?" Cato asked rubbing his left hand on the back of his neck.
"Well if you can find anything that'll fit you sure go for it." I replied handing him his coffee.
"Great, hopefully you have some bagged tops somewhere." He said as he walked back over to my room.
"So we have progressed to sleeping nude as well as making it official then?" Delly asked coyly.
"No." I answered back to quickly. "I haven't been naked in bed with him yet." I say trying to sound more calm.
"Right well I'll see you tonight. Will Cato be joining us for dinner? I was thinking maybe chinese?" Delly asked as she started to pick up he bag and keys.
"Not sure, he'll probably show up at some point though." I say with a shrug.
"Alright well have a great first day, and remember Peeta just be yourself." She says heading towards the door.
"You too." I call out as she closes the door behind her.
I head back to my room to find Cato trying on my clothes. He had managed to get a tank of mine on which looked about two sizes to small. I laughed at him as he gave me a playful glare. "Looking good there."
"Yeah well it's not my fault you're like weirdly small." Cato retorted.
"Am not, you're just weirdly tall and muscular. But on the bright side you look like you could be the hulks son in that tank." I say as I start to giggle.
Cato walked over to me with a smirk. "Oh so I look hot then?" Cato voice suddenly low and flirty.
"Nope, I said nothing about you looking hot just you look very bulky right now." I reply quickly, Cato stood right in front of me and stared into my eyes.
"Liar, you like how I look right now." Cato puts his hands on my waist and kissed up my neck to my ear. "Admit it Peeta you want it, you want me."
I let out a shaky breath. "Maybe I do, but right now I need to be getting dressed and then I need to get to AIP. And that means right now all you are getting is a kiss on the cheek."
"Fine, but I want something more then a kiss on the cheek later tonight." Cato sighed as I kissed his cheek.
I moved over to my draws as I pulled out a pair of jeans and a tee-shirt. "Oh you think your staying here tonight do you?"
"I don't think, I know. We both know you can't say no to me." Cato says pulling out a pair of baggy shorts.
"I, well that may be true but that doesn't mean you can skip out on your classes or training. Aren't you frat brothers going to be pissed you're never there anymore?" I asked as I threw on my clothes before grabbing a bag to put my art supplies and a few sketch pads in.
"They'll understand. Once I tell them the reason I've been disappearing so much is because I found myself a boy to spend all my free time with." Cato says pulling on his sneakers.
"Right, well I guess I'm ready, what's the time?" I ask rechecking I had everything.
"Eight forty-three. Alright, come on let's go then." Cato says grabbing his phone and then heading out my room.
I slung the bags strap over my shoulder and grabbed my cardigan and phone before following Cato. We headed out the door and down the stairs. Once out on the street Cato grabbed my hand and walked with me towards AIP until we reached the street he needed to go down to get to the subway station. "I guess I'll see you tonight then." I say stopping us.
"That you will, I'll be thinking about you every second until I see your sexy ass later tonight." Cato replied pulling me into a kiss. We parted after a few seconds, he smiled at me. "It'll be fine Peeta, you have nothing to worry about. University is nothing like high school."
"I'll be fine." I repeat to myself before giving him a quick kiss and headed down the street alone. I looked back to see Cato standing there smiling, I smiled back before continuing on. 'This was going to be the start of a good thing' I told myself over and over.
It wasn't long before I arrived and was headed to my first class. I walked passed the buildings until I found the one I was looking for and headed in with ten minutes to spare. I walked into the room I'm pretty sure I needed to be in but got thrown off by the lack of students in the room. Unsure of if I was in the right place I walked up to the closes student to ask if I was supposed to be here or if I had gotten myself lost. "Sorry but um, is this the painting class for the first years?"
The girl who had been sitting next to her easel on her phone looked up to me and smiled. "Yeah it is, the lack of students put you off?"
"Yes actually. Oh I'm Peeta by the way." I smile at her glad I was in the right place and glad the first person I met seemed to be a potential friend. She had sleek red hair and amber eyes. Her features were almost fox like, she wore very simple earthy toned clothes and gave off an overly smart aura.
"Finch." She smiled back. "Don't worry there will be about twenty students in this class I guess most of them are running late or something."
"I see, do mind if I sit here?" I pointed at the station next to hers, she seemed like a nice person but I asked just in case she already knew someone else in the class and was waiting for them to arrive.
"Not at all, I'm actually glad you want to sit there. I'm not really the best at making friends honestly." She said putting her phone away.
I started to unpack my bag as I sat down. "Yeah me either, do you know what the teacher is like?"
"Um I heard he is amazing so I'm hoping to really improve in this class, I'm not the best when it comes to the painting side. I much prefer sketching personally."
"Really I love to sketch but painting is for sure something I enjoy. I used to decorate the cakes at my families bakery and it kind of just translated well." I said as I watched more students finally start to file into the classroom.
"Oh that's so cool." Finch smiled back as the teacher walked in.
The rest of the day went amazingly well. Finch was in every one of my classes so I thankfully had someone to sit with the whole day. Each of the four classes I had today just got me more excited then the last that I was finally here and studying something I loved.
I learned that Finch was from a region of District Five, she was a only child that excelled at academics but loved art more. And while her parents were sure she was making the right choice they supported her decision none the less. I was kind of jealous of that really, my parents didn't understand why I wanted to study art or move away. But then again they have never really understood anything about me.
When we finished our classes for the day we walked slowly through the grounds, taking all the art around us in. As we walked towards the front gates we stopped at the student services centre because Finch wanted find out if the school had any tutoring classes. I stood outside and waited and a few minutes later she came back outside. "So did you find out if there is any tutoring classes available?"
"Yeah I got the list." She smiled before looking behind me. Her face became confused for a second before I was surprised by a set of strong arms wrapping around me and quick kiss to my check.
"Hello boyfriend." Cato said before kissing my check again.
My cheeks flushed immediately. "Hey mister." I smiled relaxing in his hold. "Oh Finch this is Cato my boyfriend, Cato this is Finch my new best friend here at school."
Cato let go of me and politely hugged her. "Nice to meet you."
"You too." She replied smiling.
"It's nice to know Peeta made a friend, he was so nervous about starting classes and no one liking him." Cato said grabbing my hand.
"Cato." I scowled rolling my eyes at his lack of filter.
Finch laughed at what Cato said before smiling. "He wasn't the only one. Shall we walk?"
"Sure." I smiled back, now one hundred per cent sure I was glad I had approached Finch this morning, we seemed to be very alike.
Once we were off the school grounds we stopped. "Which way are you?" Cato asked.
"That way." She pointed in the opposite direction to which way we would be going.
"Oh I live in the other direction, did you want us to walk you?" I asked looking to Cato as if to ask permission. To which he just smirked and nodded.
"Oh no its fine Peeta, I'll see you tomorrow though." She said with a smile before hugging us both.
"You sure?" I asked quickly before she turned away.
"Yes Peeta, it's fine. Now go home and spend some time with your boyfriend." She smiled waving to us both.
"Alright see you tomorrow Finch." I smiled turning to head home.
"Bye guys." She called out heading in the opposite direction.
As we walked down the street I started to swing our joint hands back and forth. "You're in a good mood then." Cato smiled.
"Well like you said it would be it was a good day. The classes were interesting I met a few interesting people, made a friend and I did all this while being myself." I said triumphantly.
"See I told you it would all work out."
"You did, how did you get to AIP so fast though? I wasn't expecting to see you until like after dinner or something." I say as we reach the park, we walked through it slowly, enjoying the warm sun.
"Yeah well lucky for you my last class got let out early. So I thought I'd surprise you and walk you home like a responsible boyfriend would."
"Oh and that's the only reason is it, just being a responsible boyfriend?" I ask, my disbelief obvious.
"Well I was hoping maybe we might do alittle more then snuggle in bed tonight." Cato said with puppy dogs eyes.
"Put those away, and I told you I'm not giving it up until the sixth date mister." I say with a smirk.
"But Peeeeeeettttaaaaaa I want to do all sorts of naughty things to you." Cato whined.
"Ha, how about no." I retort.
"Peeeeettttttaaaaa." Cato continued to whine.
"I'm dating a child." I moan as we arrive at my apartment. I let us in and headed up the apartment. A minute later we were inside my bedroom. "I'm going to go for a shower." I told Cato as I put my bag down and slipped off my shoes.
"Right I'll be there in a second." Cato said taking off his shoes and putting down a backpack I hadn't noticed before.
"Huh?" Was he being serious? I haven't been naked infront of him yet and the thought made me kind of anxious.
"If I promise that nothing to sexual will take place will you maybe let me in there with you?"
"Um well." I mulled it over for a second as I chewed on my bottom lip. "Alright."
"Really? You don't have to if you're to uncomfortable." Cato seemed surprised by my answer.
"You know what I do want you to. I can't keep denying not only you but myself something we both really want." I say with a smile, after today I felt more confident and sure of myself.
"Alright then." Cato smirked pulling off his top quickly then his shorts.
I stood there and stared for a bit before realising I was supposed to be undressing aswell. I did it as modestly as I could before heading to the shower and turning it on. I stepped in and a second later Cato came in, closing the glass door behind him. I closed my eyes and relaxed myself for a second before pulling Cato into a kiss. It didn't take long to get heated, Cato pressing me up against the wall behind me. We kept going and I could feel both of us getting turned on. I felt like I could be ready to take this to the next level and just as I wrapped my shaky hand around his shaft Delly burst into my bathroom.
"Oh shit I'm sorry, I didn't realise Cato was already here." She basically screamed turning around quickly and covering her eyes. I hid behind Cato as I basically died of embarrassment. "Well um, I brought dinner. Its on the kitchen bench. Sorry again." She said as she walked out.
"Well that's a mood killer." Cato stated blatantly.
"Yeah just a bit."
