"Psst, Peeta. Peeta!" someone whispers and Peeta groans, snapping out of his Katniss-filled dreams.
Opening his eyes is a mistake as a flashlight is shining in his eyes and he immediately closes them, flailing his hands to remove the source of light from his face.
"Peeta, oh oh sorry. Here, I turned it off," Katniss!
Opening his eyes again, he's met with the concerned and scared? Eyes of none other than Katniss Everdeen.
"Katniss? What's wrong?" he asks, rubbing his eyes sleepily.
"Um, its…" she trails off and Peeta raises an eyebrow at her as her gaze wanders his naked torso.
"It's what?" he asks, wanting to do nothing but go back to sleep.
"I-think-the-cabin-is-haunted," she speaks quickly and it takes his sleepy brain an extra minute to realize what she said.
"Haunted?" he asks, and she nods slightly, cheeks tinting pink. If anyone knows how much she hates asking for help, it's Peeta and he knows how hard the confession must've been for her.
"C'mere," he opens his arms and she cuddles with him, sighing softly.
"Now, what makes you think our cabin is haunted, Katniss?" he asks softly, relishing the feel of her in his arms.
"It's just, I I heard some soft whistling and I also heard some weird sounds, like the sound of trickling liquid or something. Someone kept saying my name and I got a bit spooked out I guess," she admits and buries her face in his chest, no doubt in embarrassment.
Peeta's cheeks flush. Shit! Did I say her name in my sleep out loud?
They sit there for a while, cuddled together until she lets out a yawn, and Peeta freezes.
"We should sleep, Katniss. We have to get up early tomorrow," he tells her and she shakes her head.
"What can I do?" he asks, wanting to help her sleep.
"Sleep with me," she blurts out and her cheeks flush. "I mean, can I stay with you? For the night?" and Peeta smiled widely.
"Since we're best friends and all…" she trails off.
Of course, she's only asking me because I am her best guy-friend. Calm down, Peeta!
Pulling the blanket back, he opens his arms and she lays down and cuddles with him. Just for body heat and comfort, Peeta, don't get too excited!
"Sweet dreams, Katniss," he whispers, kissing her forehead as her breaths even out.
