A/N: This story will be very short. It is just a little Katniss/Peeta story taking place during Catching Fire. I hope you enjoy!

"Peeta?" I say with a hint of begging in my voice. I had one of my worst nightmares yet since

the first Games. The fact that we're on our way to the Capitol to go back into the arena for the Third Quarter Quell has made the nightmares come back in full force.

"Yes, Katniss?" He says. He heard me screaming and thrashing in my bed and came to check on me. "Don't leave." I say. He doesn't reply, but comes over and climbs into bed with me and wraps a protective arm around my waist. He soothingly strokes my hair. I don't want him to leave, in case the nightmares come back.

"Peeta?"

"Yeah, Katniss?"

"Stay with me."

"Always."

With those words floating in my mind and the safety of Peeta's arm around me, I fall asleep.
