Another two week gap... sorry guys, life is just making it every so freaking difficult isn't it?! I mean I'm always so busy or tired or as of two days sick again... it's ridiculous I feel like someone cursed me or I did something bad to get some seriously bad karma. Whatever the case I hate my life (not really). Anyhoo hope you all are doing better then me. And I truly hope this chapter is up to scratch, it's always hard to know when your brain isn't working properly (oh the joys of being sick) Xo
(ps I really do apologises for letting my update schedule slip through the cracks these last few months, I'm really trying to get it back. And because of how poorly I have been updating I'm holding back on my two new stories. I just feel like it'll just cause me to stress and prolong updates needed on stories I'm already invested in.)
As I have said before, all grammar and spelling errors are my own and I apologise ahead. Also I do not own any part of the Hunger Games... wish I did but I don't still thank you Suzanne Collins for your amazing series.
Warning: mpreg, smut, swearing, possible drug use, violence, boy on boy, possible girl on girl, talk of abuse, OOC-ness and all the wonderful bad things in life.

Fighting For Control
Chapter Fourteen: Realisation
Once we finished our food Clove and I put out the fire and made sure the entrance was still well hidden before we both went to our sleeping bags. Cato was already in ours watching me expectantly as I took off my shoes and socks. I then moved to get in but was stopped by a growl by Cato.
"What now?" I sighed looking at him.
"If you are going to keep me warm, I'm going to need your body heat and I won't feel it through all your clothes." He smirked playfully.
"You are really going to take what that card said and use it for all its worth aren't you?" I replied taking off my jacket and pants.
"Maybe, hey and the shirt cutie."
I sighed taking off the shirt, as I heard the snickers coming from Clove's side of the cave. How did he not care that she was just there? Cato opened the sleeping bag finally for me and I slipped in, I decided to be mean and face the other way. He could deal with just spooning for now.
"Really, you're going to play it like that?" Cato whispered in my ear.
"Maybe." I smirked as I felt his hands start to wrap around me. He pulled me close and kissed my neck a few times but surprisingly didn't try anything, instead letting me fall sleep.
My dreams and bliss were short lived, waking up not long after I fell asleep. I listened around me, not sure why I had just woken but scared I might have sensed something. I heard Clove's slow breathing, the wind, the stream and that was it. Then I felt Cato grind his hardened manhood up against my ass.
"You awake cutie?" He whispered in a pleased tone. It was clear then why I had woken.
I get out a huff of air as I roll my eyes. "Why did you wake me up Cato?"
"Don't know what you are talking about." Cato whispered in my ear.
"Really? Sure then I'll just go back to sleep I guess." I shrug trying to conceal how much I was enjoying teasing him right now.
"I know you want it Peeta." Cato said licking the shell of my ear while grinding his hips into me again. "Come on cutie, I'm horny and I waited until Clove was asleep. So turn around and let me kiss you."
"And why would I do that?" I reply, enjoying just stringing him along for the moment.
"Because you love me." Cato kissed my neck, hands already mapping out my body.
"What about the cameras?" I ask, as much as I did want this I didn't want the rest of Panem seeing me screwing Cato.
"Well we'll stay in the sleeping bag, it's big enough for us to move in." Cato replied against my skin. His hand trailed down my chest until it reached my crotch. He grabbed a hold of my hardening member as I felt a smirk grow against my neck. "See you do want this."
I let out a shaky breath as Cato massaged me through my underwear. "Maybe I do, but even think about moving this from under this sleeping bag and I'll hurt you so bad you'll be limping the rest of your life."
"Fine." Cato pulled me onto my back before crawling on top of me, littering kisses over my jaw.
"I'm serious Cato, I don't want any cameras seeing what we are doing." I say sternly to get my message across before I fully gave in.
"I know, you serious, I'll be good I promise." Cato's lips then connected with mine, probably to shut me up more then anything. He hands slipped down my hips, pulling at my underwear.
I lifted my hips as he pulled them down my legs before throwing them on the pile of clothes next to us. Cato then laid his body on mine, the heat from his naked body fuelling my own lust, my hands moved over his back. Feeling every muscle, every scar, his back was so smooth, the muscles strong but soft, rippling under my touch.
He rocked his hips into my own, my legs falling apart subconsciously, inviting him to lay between them. I hooked a leg over his own as he continued to move back and forth. I moaned into our kiss as Cato took a hold of my hands and held them above my head, successfully pinning me down.
He tilted my head back with his noise before grazing his teeth over my adams apple. I bit into my lip as a result, fighting back the urge to moan loudly. The only working part of my brain was using all its energy to keep my quiet because I knew Clove was only two or so meters away from us. Cato continued to lick, suck and bite my neck as his hips rolled into mine harshly.
I could feel his member rubbing his pre-cum over my own throbbing member. Both of us so eager for what was to could we almost couldn't contain ourselves. I could feel a mark already forming on my neck, a clear sign Cato had spent to much time there in my mind. I shifted my head so my jaw was in his way, and he took the bait moving back to my lips.
Every kiss was full of such fire and heat it consumed every thought in my brain. All I could do is moan into the kiss while Cato's dominate tongue moved against my own. It invaded my mouth, his hands finally letting mine go so he could start to kiss down my body. He moved slowly, nipping at my jaw and neck first. Before making his way down to my nipples, taking the time to suck and kiss both. He then trailed down my abdomen, kissing each faint muscle before running his teeth over my hip bone.
By this time he was completely under the sleeping bag, all I could see was the mass of his body, confined in the sleeping bag that hide my body. His warm hand took a hold of my member before I felt a wet tongue lick from the base up to the head. My body spasmed in surprise before relaxing again as his lips parted and he started to bob his head.
My hands fisted the material beneath me as Cato made quick work of taking me completely in his mouth. He'd come up until just the tip was still in his mouth, swirling his tongue before swallow my whole shaft.
"Cato." I basically cried out in pleasure, he mouth has never felt so good. I felt myself starting to sweat as my body tensed up every time he took my shaft completely in his mouth. I fought against the urge to thrust my hips up into him but it became to great and I gave in, one of my hands grabbing a fist full of his hair and I thrust up over and over.
It didn't take long for me to climax, that familiar heat forming in my lower stomach before consuming my body. Cato swallow the entirety of my release before kissing his way back up my now slumped lazy form.
"How was that?" He asked as he kissed up my jaw.
"So good." I almost moaned.
Cato laid on his side next to me. "You know it's your turn now."
I turned to see a wide grin on his face, his still hard and leaking shaft resting on my hip. "I know, just give me a second."
Cato leaned down and kiss me before shifting on his back as I straddled his hips. Cato made sure the sleeping bag didn't slide off of us as he stroked my tail. "You have to get it all wet so I can do what we both really want."
"I know, doesn't mean I can't take my time." I smirk back, kissing him with the same fire as before, before making my way down to his neck. I stayed there for a while, deciding that if my neck was going to be covered in love bites his was going to be the same as well.
Once I felt satisfied I took the same approach as Cato had, kissing down his chest. I nipped his collar bone before making my way down to his nipples, licking and lightly biting them. I was reward with a stifled moan from Cato, making me grin as I continued on. I kissed all eight of his predominate ab muscles before licking the v-line of his hips. I took hold of his hard shaft, stoking it a few times before running my tongue over it.
The bitter sweetness of his pre-cum entered my mouth as I parted my lips and let his member enter it. I slowly moved down it, getting half way before bringing myself up and going down again, taking more of him in. After a while I was able to get all of him in my mouth, picking up the pace as one of my hands wondered down to play with his balls.
Cato's hands suddenly gripped my shoulders as I felt him tense up. "Baby, that's enough, any more and I'm going to be spent." He whispered while he tried to pull me off his shaft.
I released him with a pop of my lips. "Fine." I crawled back up to his face kissing him. "So how's this going to work?"
Cato rolled to the side. "Lay on you stomach." He commanded and I did as he said, spreading my legs as I perched myself up on my elbows.
Cato crawled on top and kissed his way down my back before he spread my cheeks and I felt a tongue run up between them. I had to bite my lip again as his tongue went to work on my waiting entrance. His actions were so good I felt myself getting hard again, my toes curling at the pleasure I felt. I gripped the top of the sleeping bag that was beneath me as I felt his mouth move away and a slick finger take its place.
Cato worked the finger in and out of me, quickly adding a second. I found I was learning how to relax quicker the more we had sex, and after a minute or two he added a third. He started curling his fingers, searching for that special spot. When he did I moaned out loudly, realising what I did I quickly closed my mouth. Cato paused for a second, Clove though didn't move thankfully so he continued.
He kissed his way back up my back before spitting on his hand. I felt the tip of his shaft find my entrance before Cato slowly pushed the head in. He paused for a second before continuing to push himself inside me until his hips were pressed against my ass. He leaned down, his body on mine as he pulled out and pushed back in carefully. I bit back a moan, realising that it was going to be impossible for me to stay quiet.
Cato must have had the same realisation because a hand covered my mouth as he picked up his pace and started to thrust harder. I moaned into his hand as my elbows buckled and my face buried itself into the sleeping bag. Cato used his knees to push my legs further apart as his started to kiss and nip my neck and shoulder. He started to really hammer deep into me for a bit before he slowed down and pulled out.
I whimpered at the sudden lose, my body feeling empty. "Why did you stop?" I whispered looking over my shoulder.
"I want to see you eyes and kiss those lips of your while I fuck you." Cato huskily replied kissing my shoulder quickly before leaning back so I could turn over.
I laid on my back, opening my legs eagerly as Cato crawled between them, hiking my legs over his hips. He lined himself up before pushing back into me. I stared up at him as he started to thrust with the same ferocity and force as before, I felt my toes start to curl again. I knew I was going to be fighting back more moan so I pulled Cato down and smashed my lips against mine. I let his tongue roam my mouth freely as I moaned into the kiss, bring my hips up to meet his thrusts.
Cato hands fell to my hips, helping me lift them up so Cato could go deeper. His thrusts sent my body into overdrive, my spine tingled, and that warmth I felt in my stomach spread all over my body. I could feel myself growing closer to climax for a second time. As my body started to go ridged I felt Cato also tensing up, his thrusts got sloppy and desperate.
I clutched Cato back, holding on for dear life and I came for the second time tonight, this time without even touching myself. I moaned hoarse into his mouth as I release all over my stomach and chest. A few thrusts later it was Cato's turn, kissing down my jaw and neck before latching on to my neck and thrusting once more before filling me.
Cato fell on to of me with a sigh, our sweaty overheated bodies heaving for breath. I kissed his temple running my fingers through is messy wet hair. "You going to let me sleep now?" I smiled as he kissed my neck.
"Maybe, I mean give me ten minutes and I'll be up for round two." He replied rolling off me.
I laughed at his answer, again forgetting about Clove for a second. "Keep dreaming, that's more then I was going to give you. You are lucky you're so sexy and I gave in."
"Oh really now." Cato grabbed one of his socks, wiping the mess from out chests. "So you admit it then, I'm just so good you can't resist."
"No no, I could resist but I knew tomorrow if you didn't get any you'd whine all day and be grumpy so I thought for Clove's sake I'd take one for the team and keep you happy." I giggled turning on my side away from him.
He slid behind me, wrapping an arm around my chest lazily. "Yeah sure, cutie. I know exactly what I need to do to get you all hot and bothered." Cato kissed the weak spot on my neck while his hands roamed my body.
"Cato stop, I want to get some sleep tonight." I whine pushing his hands away.
"Fine, but don't think tonight was a one time thing while we are in the arena." Cato kissed my neck once more before laying down behind me.
I sighed knowing he would be expecting more but I didn't care, right now I was tired. All I wanted to do is sleep and recover all the energy we had just used up. I closed my eyes, sleep thankfully coming easy.
I awoke the next morning just as the sun light started to filter into the cave. I was on my stomach, using one of my arms as a pillow. Cato's body was unsurprisingly draped over my own, his weight prohibiting me from really moving at all. I didn't want to move at all though his body heat was so pleasant. It made me long for us to be already out of the games, to be in a house with a comfortable bed, no cameras, no threat of death. Just the two of us alone but together.
I laid there for a few minutes, content, hoping that if I didn't move then we wouldn't have to face another day of violence and death. I watch Clove start to stir then suddenly sit up. She looked around the cave before her eyes fixed on me.
A smile slowly formed on her face. "How can you sleep like that?"
"What do you mean?" I smiled back.
"With him basically completely on top of you." Clove stretched moving out of her sleeping bag and putting her shoes back on.
"It's actually pretty comfortable, I feel safe like this." I shrug Cato off my shoulder a bit so I could prop myself up on my elbows.
"Yeah but I mean he's freaking heavy, how do you not suffocate?" Clove smirked standing and stretching out her limbs.
"I'm sure he'd have something to say to that if he was awake." I reply.
"Oh I know but he's not so we can say what ever we want about him." Clove put her vest full of knives back on. "I'm just going to do a quick scan outside, get him up would you Peeta."
"Sure." I nodded as I watched her leave the cave.
Before she turned slipped through the entrance of the cave she turned back around. "You know you weren't nearly as quiet as you thought you were."
I blushed at her words, knowing what she meant by them. I stayed there for a minute realising we were both indeed naked after last night's activities and we would need this time to get dressed. I turned to Cato and kissed his cheek softly. "Cato time to get up."
Cato didn't move but I saw his eyes start to flutter. So I leaned back over and kissed his lips, which got an almost immediate response. His hands snaked completely around me as his lips started to move against mine.
"Come on, Clove's doing a check outside so now is the time to get up and get dressed." I watched Cato's eyes open and then his grip tightened on me. "Cato please, I'm pretty sure Clove left simply to give us time to get dressed so let me go."
"No." Cato smirked.
I sighed before I tried to get out of his arms with no success. If it was one thing I have learnt this past week it was that Cato weakness was my body. I didn't really understand why but I wasn't about to question it. Feeling that wanted all the time was something I never wanted to give up. "Cato do I really need to bite you again."
"I wouldn't mind if it was the start of some kinky fun." Cato replied, cocky as ever.
"I'm serious, let go or I'll take a chunk out of your shoulder." I gave him a serious look. "If you want what happened last night to ever happen again in this arena you better start listening to me."
"Alright, alright bossy." Cato let me go quickly making me smile. "You don't have to pull the sex card every time I don't listen to you."
"Apparently I do, so far it's the only thing that gets you to listen to me. And if you want me to consider letting you do all that again then you best be on your best behaviour from now on." I grabbed my underwear from the pile of clothes next to me and slipped them on under the sleeping bag before I grabbed my top and sat up. Once I had the top on I slipped out of the slipping bag and pulled on my pants, socks and shoes. "Are you going to move then?" I asked over my shoulder to Cato.
"I was enjoying the view for a minute." He replied, with no doubt that signature cocky grin.
"Get your head in the game Cato, I need you focused." I say as Clove slipped back into the cave.
"He's right big guy, we need you focused. So get up and get dressed, I didn't spot anyone or any activity out there but who know what the game makers have in-store for us."
Cato sighed but did as he was told, getting dressed quickly. We then packed up while discussing what would be the best plan for today. We settled on going north and circling back around so we were back here before night fall. None of us wanted to have a run in with more of the mutt's from last night.
So we set out, Cato leading the way while Clove marked trees so we wouldn't get lost coming back to the cave. The day was long and hot, we searched for hours while no signs a any tributes having ever been in this arena.
Walking this long without seeing a single sign of a tribute felt like such a waste. I trailed behind Cato, not really playing attention to my surroundings. Instead I was suck in deep thought over a multitude of things. Getting the three of us out, life after the games, Cato, Cato, Cato. My love for him, the realisation I had just days before, the fact the as much as I pretend to put up a fight I can't seem to say no to him. I didn't think it was possible to be this involved with another human being. He was becoming my everything which kind of scared me.
What scared me more was the fact I had killed someone. Another boy, probably around my age. He probably had a family that actually loved him, that needed and wanted him. The more I focused on this the more I realised I had been subconsciously blocked all my guilt out. I felt sick thinking about the blood on my hands, the fact that I was no better then the Capitol itself. I had sunk to their level, become a piece in this game. I tried to convince myself that it was for love I was doing this, for Cato but that didn't seem to quell the guilt that was rising in my gut.
The sound of leaves rustling snapped me out of my thought. All three of us had stopped dead in out tracks. Each of us knew we weren't alone straight away. We formed a triangle, our backs to each other as we looked around the forest that surrounded us. I heard the release of a bow behind me, I quickly spun around to watch an arrow embed itself into one of Clove's arms as she fell to the ground due to the force.
Clove screamed out in pain, before someone screamed out a battle cry behind me. I turned to see a young boy, running at full speed towards me with a sword. He looked crazed and determined, I quickly grabbed one of my throwing knives but what had been on my mind moments ago froze me up. The guilt caused me to hesitate, making me just stand there as he ran towards me.
I heard Cato scream out my name, and then my body took over I dodged the boys attack, Cato coming into view and slicing open the boy's back. I felt another presence to the side of me. My body doing what it did best, reacting without a second thought. I spun around next to a tree as I sent a knife towards where I knew someone was standing. As the blade left my hand I felt my skin slice open on the left side of my ribs before I was pulled back by a force, sending me back into the tree trunk behind me with a thud.
I quickly looked to my side to realise there was a spear pinning me to the tree. That was when I realised what that meant, I eyes shot up to come into view with Marvel's pained face. The knife I had thrown was lodged deep in his thigh, he looked furious and dead set of revenge but didn't stay, instead turning and running, Glimmer suddenly appearing next to him, bow and arrows in hand.
I quickly scanned the area, Clove getting to her feet, Cato stabbing the young boy once more before a cannon sounded. I struggled to pull the spear out of the tree trunk so I took a step away from it, ripping my jacket and top but successfully freeing myself.
I turned to watch Marvel and Glimmer disappear out of sight, the dense forest around us forming a blanket, hiding them away. I looked down at the right side of my ribs, my jacket now sliced open and a small amount of blood covered the bottom half of the torn material. Thankfully the spear had only grazed me.
Cato rushed over to me, turning me roughly so he could inspect the wound. When he saw it was just a shallow cut he calmed down. "We need to get back to camp before nightfall. I'm not going to risk running into those mutts again."
"Agreed, how bad is it?" Clove asked, eyes falling on my wound.
"No where near as bad as yours." I reply looking at her arm now covered in blood.
"We need to pull the arrow out and wrap that Clove." Cato walked over to her, gripping her shoulder then lightly grabbing a hold of the arrow. Clove nodded to Cato before looking away. "On the count of three, one." Cato pulled the arrow out quickly, Clove biting back a scream from the pain.
I quickly pulled my pack off of my back, rummaging through it until I found the bandages. I tossed them to Cato who wrapped them quickly around her arm.
"We need to head back now, we can clean them later. We are to much at risk being out in the open like this." Cato picked up his sword and pack before leading us back to the cave.
We arrived there just at the sunlight started to disappear. Cato got to work on a fire as I sat down, pulling out what food we had. It wasn't much, beef jerky, dried fruit and nuts and some crackers but it was better then nothing.
"Do we still have some of that medicine that you used on me last night?" Cato asked sitting back as the fire grew.
"Yeah, it is in the pack over there." I pointed over to the pack as Cato got up and grabbed the tin of cream.
While this was happened I noticed Clove undo her bandages, grab a canteen of water and clean her arm. Cato applied the cream before reapplying more bandages. Once he was done I handed them both some food and we sat down and ate.
"There's only two of them now and Marvel is injured. I think we should look for them tomorrow, hopefully finish them off, that way there will only be two other teams to deal with." Cato said as he ate.
"Sounds like a plan, they'll be on the defence while Marvel is injured so attacking straight on won't be two smart. We'll have to find them then draw them out." Clove nodded as she finished her food.
Once we finished eating Cato used what was left of the cream on my ribs, though I insisted we save it just in case. Before he put out the fire and we retired back into the sleeping bags.
Just as I laid down the Capitol's anthem played, I looked up through one of the gaps in the roof of the cave to see the face on the tribute that had been working with Marvel and Glimmer. In all honesty I was surprise they even used him but then they must have found him useful for something. The sky went dark again so I laid back down, resting my head on Cato's chest.
"You scared me again today." Cato whispered.
"I know, but it's fine and it was hardly a scratch." I slip my hand under his top, my thumb rubbing back and forth over his warm skin.
"By the end of the games you'll probably have driven me insane if you keep this up." He kissed my forehead and we slipped into silence before Cato cleared his throat. "What happened back there Peeta? You totally froze up."
"I um, I realised that I had become a murdered. That something I never thought I could ever do came easy to me. I was overcome with guilt and I froze up."
"Peeta." Cato brought a hand up and caressed my cheek. "You are still a good person, you aren't a murderer, you are choosing to survive. You are choosing to make it out of here, you are choosing life, a life with me. And as much as you don't think it, you deserve to have that chance of happiness."
"But doesn't everyone in this arena?" I ask, more so to myself then Cato.
"In a perfect world yes, but this is real life and it's hard but I need you to keep your head in this. I need you to want to make it out with me." Cato arm around my tightened as his lips moved against my forehead.
I thought it through, and Cato was right. I did want to make it out, even if I felt guilty and selfish. While my mind was at war with its self the part of me that wanted Cato and to survive was greater then all the other mix of feelings and thoughts. "I do Cato, I want to make it out. I realise that now."
"I know it's hard but I'll be there with you to help you through whatever you feel as long as you don't close yourself off from me." He sighed, still holding me tightly.
"I wont." I kiss his material clad chest before nuzzling into it and closing my eyes.
After probably ten minutes of silence the screams picked up again, and once again no cannons were heard. I didn't understand the point of this, was it to try and unnerve us, drive us crazy? Whatever it was I hated it, soon growls could be heard, much different to the ones we heard the other night. These ones were more of a vicious roar then a menacing growl. It worried me, did that mean each night there was a new mutt out there hunting us?
None of us said anything, we just stayed silent in hopes if we were we would be left alone for the night. Cato's arms around me kept me from freaking out to much. I felt safe enough to try and attempt sleep.
But it was hard to sleep that night, the roars and screams that were heard off in the distance plaguing my dreams and kept waking me. I was just glad we weren't anywhere near them this time.
