'Who the fuck are you?'
Katniss's POV
'Katniss! Don't be rude!' my mother scolds me, the man beside her chuckles.
He has dirty, shaggy blonde hair and dark brown eyes but you could only tell if you were close enough to him, from further away he looks like he has coal black eyes, with an evil glint in them. He's tall, probably the same height as Gale, or a centimetre shorter. He has a strong muscular build with stocky shoulders and well defined muscles, he looks to be in his early forties or late thirties, around the same age as my mother.
'It's my house; I can do what I want' I declare, it might've been childish but I'm not going to let her treat this situation like she never even left us.
'And I'm your mother' she reminds me, giving me a stern look.
'You were my mother until you left' I spit back at her.
'I'm sorry about that; we're still…mending things' she tells the man but he just chuckles again, its starting to piss me off, he acts like it's a fucking game.
'Mending things?' I scoff, there's no mending to do. I can't forgive her for what she did to us, well more like what she didn't do.
'No, it's fine she has…fire. A rare quality, I like it' the man says, I scowl and Gale puts a protective arm around my shoulders and growls at him. The man grins at Gale and I.
'A pair of fighter's ay? I wasn't expecting that' he says, still grinning.
'What exactly where you expecting?' I ask in an exasperated tone.
'Definitely not someone as fiery you darlin' he says.
'I'm not your darlin' I spit, I can feel Gale chest heaving and rumbling behind me.
'Who the hell are you?' Gale asks the venom evident in his voice.
'I'm Blade. Blade Callister, from District 2' Blade says. Gale takes a protective step in front of me, shielding me and growling at Blade. The people from District Two were brutal, lethal and cruel as fuck. We Twelve's always hated them, the fact that they killed for no reason, for fun. We do it to survive; we struggle through each day while they lounge around and have food brought to them on command.
'And exactly what the fuck are you doing in my house?' I growl at him. His grin turns into a smirk as he puts an arm around my mother, who has been oddly quiet during this ordeal.
'Meet the new Mrs Callister' he says proudly, gesturing to my mother. I stand there in shock; my mother married a rick man, a trained killer. She replaced my father with that. Gale doesn't look to unfazed, more angry and protective then anything.
'So you replaced dad with a rich, killer?' I ask her, frustration evident in my voice.
'I couldn't grieve forever, I had to move on eventually' she says quietly from underneath Blade's muscular arm.
'Why couldn't you have done this here? Why couldn't you have married a merchant or another seam man?' I say strongly, 'why did you have to leave?' I say softly, I can see the tears gathering in her eyes, ones of regret and sorrow.
'You know why' is all she says.
'I do but it still doesn't make sense to me' I say, my voice isn't as laced with anger and frustration as before but more confusion.
'Forgive and forget is what I say,' Blade interrupts; I scowl at him, 'on a better note, who's the boy?'
'Gale Hawthorne,' my mother says, 'my daughters…-' if it was any other situation I probably would've chuckled at my mother confusion, I'm pretty sure that she still thinks we're engaged.
'Boyfriend' Gale says, sticking out a hand to Blade, not out of kindness or in a friendly way but I to show Blade who's the better man. From Gale's tone of voice "boyfriend" could've been mistaken for protector.
'Nice to meet you boy' Blade says, taking Gale's hand and giving it a firm shake.
'And this is Katniss, my daughter, as you know' my mother gestures to me.
'Yeah, Fighter Girl' he says and I scowl at him.
'Where are you staying tonight?' I ask coldly, turning to my mother.
'Blade and I have bought at house in the town square, a few houses down from the bakery but we haven't settled in yet and I know this is an unfair favour to ask but only until we move in, can we stay here?' she asks, almost shamefully.
'Sure,' I say and they all look completely dumb struck, 'but Prim and I will be staying at Gale's until you guys move into the house in town' I finish.
'Katniss, I don't know if that's a good-' my mother starts.
'Look, I've been taking care of myself and Prim for a long time. Gale isn't Cray. He's too good for that, too decent. He won't hurt me, he won't do anything I don't want him to, ok? It's going to take a while for me to forgive you, if I ever do, but you need to trust my judgements, you needs to trust my decisions and if you're going to try to fix this then that's where you need to start' I tell her.
'Ok, just please be careful, if not for me then for Prim, for Gale' she says.
'Fine. You might need to restock the cupboards,' I grab Gale's hand and walk to the door, 'make yourselves at home' I say, a hint of sarcasm in my voice. I grab my father's hunting jacket and my game bag which has a few skinned animals inside.
'Bye Katniss, Gale' my mother says as I open the door.
'Yeah cya kiddo's' Blade says, I shoot him a glare from over my shoulder and walk out the door, Gale closing it behind us. We walk the most part of the seam in silence, the sun is setting and its getting dark with the grey storm clouds covering the sky. One thing that you never do in Twelve is walk outside in the dark, especially by yourself. There have been many cases where young girls have gone for a walk at night and they get robbed or murdered or raped. I never had to worry about that though, I had a rep here and most people knew about it. I wasn't to be messed with or crossed. But that never stopped me from being afraid for Prim or taking my extra pair of bow and arrows with me. I definitely never had to worry about it when Gale was here.
'So I guess I have a new roommate?' he asks, giving me a little sexy smirk.
'Only if you'll have me' I tease, he gives a light little chuckle.
'There's no world where I couldn't' he smiles at me, he throws an arm around my shoulder and I rest my head on his chest and hook my arm around his waist. We walk to Gale's house at a leisurely stroll.
When we get to Gale's house the kids haven't had dinner yet so Gale and I whip up something quick but filling. We tell the kids to go to bed because its getting late, we watch as they scurry down the hall and into their rooms.
'Where's Hazelle?' I ask, noticing her absence.
'In bed' Gale murmurs, I nod.
'It's gotten worse, hasn't it?' I ask, reaching across the small dining table and resting my hand on his.
'Yeah, the kids are starting to notice now, they are gonna have to find out sooner rather than later, I think she only has a week and a bit left in her, maybe a little less' he says, looking down at the table. I know he's trying to be strong, to not show weakness. It's one of the things I admire and love about him. I'm not sure what to say on the subject so I just nod.
'So I'll take the couch then' I say, walking to the cupboard to retrieve a dusty blanket.
'You'll do no such thing,' he says, walking over and wrapping his arms around my waist and hugging me, 'you're sleeping with me'
'I'm not sure if there will be any sleep involved' I mutter into his chest. I feel him chuckle.
'Everything has been so stressful lately' Gale sighs, looking down at me.
I lean up on my tippy toes and whisper in his ear, 'then let's have some fun'
'Don't have to tell me twice' he smirks sexily, grabbing my hand and leading my into his room hastily.
As soon as the door closes he attacks me with his lips, pushing me up against the wall with a quite thud. His lips move from my lips, to the hollow of my neck, to my collarbone, caress with his tongue and leaving a trail of hot open mouthed kisses. I begin to let out a moan but Gale quickly muffles it with a kiss. He pulls the band from my hair and unravels my braid, letting my wavy hair flow down my back.
'We can't make any noise; they'll hear us' he whispers in my ear. He attacks my lips again, sliding his tongue in as I meet him with mine. We stumble in the general direction of Gale's small bed. I untuck the hem of his shirt from his trousers roughly. I break the kiss and pull his shirt over his head and discard it on the floor. While I work on his belt buckle he moves his mouth down to the base of my neck and then sucks my collarbone. He undoes each of the buttons on my shirt painfully slow, he kisses each inch of exposed skin, lightly and gently but it shoots electricity up my spine.
I finally get the freaking belt undone and throw it across the small room. Gale gets my pants off in record time as I pull off his. I push him roughly onto the bed and crawl onto his lap, straddling him. I knit my arms in his hair and kiss him passionately as he runs his hands up and down my sides. His hands reach my bra straps and with a quick flick of his finger my bra becomes slack, I slide my arms out of the straps and Gale throws the plain black bra across the room.
Gale palms both of my breasts making me moan into our kiss, I grind my now slick centre against him fiercely and he groans into the kiss too, I can feel him already rock hard beneath me. The kiss becomes more urgent, passionate and intimate now. I break the kiss and start leaving a trail of light spine chilling kisses from his lips to his jaw, neck, collarbone, chest and then abs until I reach the elastic of his boxers which now looks like a tent.
He raises his hips to allow me to pull off his boxers, he sighs as I relieve his erection which causes me to chuckle lightly. He tugs at my panties so I help him take them off and they're thrown across the room along with the rest of our abandoned clothes. I move further up his body so that I'm straddling his waste and I can feel his hard manhood poking my lower back.
I start kissing him again with new found ferocity and lust. Our tongues fight for dominance again as I start to win Gale slides his hand from my knee, up my thigh, to my centre and starts to circle my bundle of nerves with his thumb. My breath hitches and I lose my place as Gale dominates my mouth with his.
If he's going to fight dirty then so am I.
I reach my arm around my back and grasp him firmly. He gasps loudly. I start stroking him slowly but my grip is firm, I match the speed to which he is thumbing me. I break the kiss again to catch my breath, partly from the kissing and partly from Gale's hands. He sits up, I slide in his lap and he takes the chance to pay attention to my breasts.
He sucks on one, nibbles and running his tongue over my hard nipple as he does the same to the other but with his large fingers instead of his mouth. I when I catch my breath I decide that we've had enough foreplay and I grow inpatient. I forcefully push Gale back down on the bed which creaks in protest.
I grab his manhood and stroke him a few times before lowering myself onto him. I gasp and his groans loudly as he fills me. I wait a few seconds, allowing myself to adjust before I start moving. I start to slowly move up and down on Gale's shaft, he puts his hands on my hips, guiding me. My movements increase as I speed up, Gale thrusts up into me to meet my thrusts. I bite the inside of my cheeks to prevent myself from moaning, I see Gale straining to be quite to but neither of us can hold back our panting. To be honest it just makes it more…erotic to have to be quiet.
My thrusts become quicker and quicker and I know I'm going to come soon and apparently so does Gale because he starts to rub my centre again, faster and harder than last time. A loud groan escapes my lips without permission but Gale leans up and muffles it half way through with a kiss. My breath hitch and I gasp from the new angle; I see Gale smirk sexily as he sits up straight and the new angle allows him to go deeper.
I feel my walls clenching around him as my orgasm takes over me, it feels like ecstasy as I throw my head back and let the white hot pleasure rush over me. With a few more hard, deep thrusts Gale spills into me with a loud groan. He keeps circling me lightly, letting me ride out of my orgasm.
I fall onto my back beside Gale on the bed. We're both panting furiously, a sheen of sweat covering each of our bodies. When I come down from my high I stare at the ceiling for a few minutes before speaking.
'Wow' was all I could manage.
'Yeah' he breaths, apparently that all he can manage too. I roll onto my side to face him and he follows in suite. His lips are swollen and his dark brown hair is damp with sweat and has fallen over his eyes.
'You don't fight fair' I accuse, he chuckles.
'Neither do you' he shoots back, grinning.
'You started it' I say like a little kid, grinning myself.
'And I finished it too,' he says smirking. I smile and blush in return, 'come here' he says, taking an arm out from behind his head and behind my head. I scoot over into his arms; he puts his arm around me, pulling me closer to him as I rest my head on his chest.
'You're so sexy' he says quietly, I bury my head into his chest, trying to hide the enviable blush crawling onto my face but he puts a finger under my chin, tilting me head to look at him. He has a smug smile on his face.
'You think they heard us?' I ask him, referring to his mother and his siblings.
He shrugs, 'mum is probably out cold but the kids might've. No doubt we'll hear all about it in the morning if they did' I think I might die of embarrassment if they heard us, especially Rory because he's old enough to know what we're actually doing.
'Oh joy' I mutter and he chuckles. He starts humming a tune, one that I recognise, one that my father sung to Prim and I when we were young but I'm too tired and worn out to think about it much. Gale isn't the best singer but he can carry a tune, he's not bad at humming either.
He hums and strokes my hair softly and lovingly. A small smile makes its way onto my face before I'm dragged into a nightmare-less sleep. The last thing I feel is the sheets being pulled over me and a kiss on my forehead.
Gale's POV
The cold, brisk wind coming through the window and whipping across my back rouses me from my sleep. I don't open my eyes but I snuggle deeper into the sheets. I'm on the edge of sleep but I feel wet droplets hit me. I groan, opening my eyes, its morning and Katniss is still asleep beside me. Her chocolate brown hair sprawled across the small pillow, her face is relaxed. The sheets only cover up the waist, leaving her torso uncovered. Katniss was always underweight but hunting's been great lately, she's put on condition and her curves have become more defined.
A small shiver ripples through her body as a gust of a makes its way through the window along with some rain. I pull away the covers away, get up and close the window, it's absolutely pouring outside so there's really no point in going to school. In Twelve if it's a shitty day we tend to stay home, there's no point in going to extra effort to get to school of get warm.
I crawl back into bed, pull the covers over myself and over Katniss, if the kids wake up and come in there is no point to even deny what we have been doing. We didn't lie to them or anything but Posy and Vick are still pretty young and no of them need to know what we do in our down time.
I can't really tell what time it is but I'm guessing mid-morning or somewhere around there.
'Katniss' I whisper in her ear but she doesn't respond.
'Katniss' I whisper again, gentle shaking her.
'Hmmm?' I chuckle.
'Time to get up' I say.
'I don't want to' she says, burying herself deeper into the covers.
'Don't make me have to get you up' I warn jokingly
'You can try' she says, she still hasn't opened her eyes. I make a move to get up but she snaps open her eyes, straddles me and pins my arms on either side of my head. I laugh heartily. She smiles but frowns when she looks outside.
'It's raining; we don't have to go to school anyway. Why'd you get me up?' she frowns at me and I grin back.
'The kids' I say simply.
'I honestly don't care anymore' she sighs and crawls of me and back to her original place.
'You do realise you're naked right?' I ask her, raising an eyebrow.
'Shit' she says.
'Just tell them I'm not here or something and lock our door' she says, I smile when she says "ours", mainly because I think she did it unintentionally.
'Sure but I'm gonna go to the Hob and grab so soup from Sae'
'Ok there's some skinned squirrels in my game bag, bring something back for me' she mutters and pulls the covers tighter.
'Ok babe, I'll be back before you know it' I say as I get out of bed and get dressed quickly. I go her side of the bed and kiss her forehead.
'I love you Katniss' I whisper, incise she's isn't awake.
'Love you too' she says sleepily. I go downstairs to see Rory sitting at the table. We say good morning and I tell him where imp going, he doesn't ask about Katniss so I don't explain.
It's cold outside, nothing compared to the full winter days of Twelve but cold nonetheless. I wrap my hunting jacket tighter around me, crossing my arms. The walk to the Hob goes quickly, when I get to the alley I look for any sign of Thread as usual buts he isn't anywhere to be seen.
I slip into the door and relax a bit, the warmth overcoming me. I head over to Sae's stall and get some soup. I sit at the stand and eat my meal as Sae tends to other customers. Out of the corner of my eye I see someone sit next to me.
'Hi, I'm Thom' the man says, outstretching his hand to me. He's from the Seam, grey eyes and brown hair. I remember him though, he was a few years above Katniss and I at school.
'Gale' I say shaking his hand.
'So you've almost finished school, yeah?' he asks, I'd like to think he's making friendly conversation but I know this is going somewhere.
'Yeah, only a week and a bit left' I say, eating my soup.
'Look, I have a proposition for you' he begins.
(Line Break)
I run home from the Hob with the soup in the game which is strapped over my shoulder. I know Katniss isn't going to react well to this and I know I shouldn't have of agreed to it without talking to her about it first but I really didn't see another way.
I slow down as I get to my house and take my hunting boots off and walk in. I shrug off my drenched hunting jacket and dump it along with the game bag on the ground. Katniss is sitting at the table, eating something she must have made herself.
'Gale?' she asks as she takes in my form, red cheeks, puffing and worn out. I sit down in the chair across from hers.
'Did something happen?' she asks and I nod.
'I got offered a job' I tell her.
'What kind of job?' she asks wearily, I take a deep breath before I answer.
'I'm going to work in the mines'
