A/N: Long over-do. I know I know... Okay here it is.
Peeta POV:
She just stares at the cake, looking kind of... dumbfounded. The she starts to cry.
"I..." she starts, but her sobs begin to wrack her body. This is not what I meant to do. I wanted her to be happy.
I start to apologize, "Kat, I'm sorry honey. I just wante..." she interupts me when she runs into me.
"Yes! Yes I'll marry you." she says, smiling so big it must hurt her face.
I feel a large weight being lifted off my chest. I smile.
I look at Caesar, and Effie, both crying like 2 year olds.
Haymitch rolls his eyes. "It's about time. Now have a nice night. Lets go Ef, stop crying." he says, tugging her out of the room. "God, I'm going to need more alcohol." he mutters before walking out of the house.
"Congraulations" Caesar sniffs, before leaving the room.
When he leaves Jo says "Wow, what a whiny pair, Caesar and Effie. I mean God! You should be the ones crying... Happy tears. Whatever, have a nice night. I'll be over in the morning for breakfast." and she hugs Katniss, having to hug me in the process since Katniss is hanging on me like her life depends on it. At once it did...
I feel like... Oh no. I push Katniss away. "No Jo... Stay, flashback.. Get Katniss out of her." I say, fighting the flashback.
Jo grabs Katniss and pulls her from the room. I hear yelling in the distance.
"No! I have to be there for him! Let me go! He needs to know I love him!" Katniss yells, and I fall to the floor.
She loves me... I regain control of my body. I beat it.
"I'm okay. It's gone now.." I yell, so Katniss and Johanna can hear. I get up off the ground.
Katniss rushes into the room. She runs towards full speed and knocks me to the ground, her arms wrapped around me in a hug.
"I love you Kat" i whisper into her hair.
"I love you more." she says, and I pull away smirking.
"I highly doubt that." I say, and she frowns.
"I love you as much as you love me then." she says after a while.
"More than there are stars in the sky" I say pulling her close.
"More than the air I breathe" she whispers back.
"More than life" we both say together.
"Okay, glad everything is all better. I have to go to bed. Night, and don't wake the neighbors!" Johanna yells.
Katniss blushes.
"Come on. Lets go to bed, the dishes can wait til later." I say pulling her to her feet.
"But the cake!" She says.
I forgot. "Okay, lets eat." I say smiling.
She grabs clean plates and silverware while I clear the table.
When I finish putting the food away I wander back into the dining room, where Katniss is waiting with 2 plates of cake.
We scarf all the cake down and wrap the rest up and set on the kitchen counter for later.
I pick Katniss up wedding-style and carry her upstairs.
"What was that for?" she asks at I toss her onto the bed.
"I have to have some practice, don't I?" I ask, and take off my pants and shirt.
She grins, pulling off her top and pants as well grabbing my shirt and pulling it over her head.
I lay down on the bed beside her.
"I love you, Peeta." she says, cuddling closer into my chest.
"I love you too, Kat."
Her breathing eventually slows as she falls asleep.
"I love you more." I whisper, knowing she is alseep.
"No." she says, still sleeping.
I grin. She is still subborn, even when she is sleeping.
But then I realize that she is having a nightmare.
"NO! PRIM!" she yells in her sleep.
"Katniss." I whisper in her ear and shake her gently.
She jumps up, and looks around like she is lost.
"Peeta?" she asks.
"Yeah?"
"Why did this have to happen to me? I gave up everything to protecct her and she is still dead!" she practically screams, and then she starts to cry.
I pull her close.
"I know. I know. I'm sorry Kat." I whisper over and over again. And eventually she falls asleep again.
This time for good.
Sorry it is short. I can't think of anything right now! But I figured one short chapter is better than no chapter at all... Right? Review please.
