Clove's POV:
I step off the train into the dark, grey skies of District 12. I phone text Katniss to tell her I am here, and I start to walk to her house. I can't help but wonder about what Cato is doing, and did he read my note. I hope he isn't mad, I just think it is for the best that we do this.
I arrive at Katniss' house, and knock on. Peeta immediately answers.
"Hi Clove!" He says giving me a hug.
"Hi Peeta, how are you doing douche?" I say, I've always called him a douche. It was mine and Cato's little joke about him when we were in the tribute parade, and the arena. He seems to have got used to it though.
"Very funny, Calloway, funny. I have to say, bitchiness comes natural to you doesn't it?"
"Well, what can I say Peet? I'm a natural." I smirk, "Are you gonna let me in or what?"
He steps aside, so I walk into the hall and see Katniss cooking some sort of stew. With Rye at her feet.
"Auntie Clove!" Rye shouts and comes running, he is only 3, nearly 4. I love him so much.
"Rye! How are you little buddy! I've missed you!" I say swinging him around, and giving him a cuddle.
"I wove you auntie Clove."
"I love you too little man!"
"Hi Clove, how[s things?" Katniss asks me, stirring her stew.
"Great Katniss, what's for tea then?" I ask her.
"Lamb stew, with extra lamb." Peeta gives her a horrified look.
"Chill Peeta, its only lamb, all juicy and fresh and y-"
"Clove stop!" He says, Peeta is a vegan, which is pretty hard to say as he lives with Katniss.
"Hey Peeta, can you take Rye out to Gale's for a bit, I need to talk to Clove."
Katniss and Gale are best friends again now, and Rye adores him. Peeta and Gale still have a tiny grudge, but they speak for the sake of Katniss and Rye.
Peeta picks up Rye and leads him out of the door, Katniss sits down on the chair and gestures me to sit on the other one.
"So Clove, spill everything about Cato."
"Well, long story short. Finnick phones me, and turns up. I am so overjoyed as he is my big brother, Cato goes all crazy and accuses me of liking Finnick. I throw a knife, he punches the wall. Yeah basically what happened." I say sighing.
"Does he know you left?"
"I dunno, I phoned you when I got off the train and then snapped the sim. He might still be asleep but I left him a note. I am so confused Kat! I love Cato to death."
"Would you ever have kids with him?" She asks me.
"Yeah." I say, "But not now, I would wait until I'm at least 23, Cato is like a child, himself. I've got enough with him Kat."
"Does he know your here?"
"No clue, anyway should I go and unpack?" I ask her.
"Yeah, just go into the guest room next to ours."
I walk up the stairs thinking about my conversation with Katniss, it makes me really miss Cato. I step into the guest room and dump my bag on the bed. I lie down, and shut my eyes.
After a while a wake up to "Auntie Clove, wake up."
"Hi Rye, come here." I say as I pull him onto the bed with me.
"Auntie Clove, do I have any other auntwies and uncwuls?" His lisp is adorable, and how he can't pronounce his words, like I said. Adorable.
"You have, your auntie Prim, she's up in heaven. Uncle Finnick, Auntie Glimmer, Uncle Cato." I start.
"Caytooo?" He starts, "Cato."
"Yes, he is my husband, and your uncle."
"Do you love him Auntie Clove?"
"Yes... I do." I say, and tickle him.
"Clove!" I hear Katniss shout. "Get you arse down here now! Your umm... wanted!"
"For fucks sake." I start, I need to sleep, it is basically 12am at night here. Different districts are in a different time zone, and I feel kinda jet lagged.
"Katniss, I swear what the fuck do you wa-" I start to say, and then I see Cato stood there speaking to Peeta. Oh shit.
"Clove." He says staring at me, I've only been gone a day, not even that!
"Hi Cato." I say quickly.
"So why did you leave then?" He asks me.
"I told you in the note." I reply coldly.
I think, no not another row, then I hear "Auntie Clove, Mummy, Daddy." Rye is walking down the stairs, clutching his teddy bear.
"Hey." I say crouching down, "What are you doing awake then?"
"I heard you, you seemed upset. Would you like a cuddwle?"
"Hey Rye, have you met your Uncle Cato?"
"Hello Uncle Cato." He says to Cato.
"Hi buddy." He says and picks Rye up.
"Uncle Cato, do you love Auntie Clove very much? She said she loved you very much."
"She did?" He says to him, "Well I love her very very very much too, she is very special isn't she?"
"Yes." Rye says yawning.
"Come on Rye, up to bed. You can see Auntie Clove, and Uncle Cato tomorrow. Say night night." Peeta says, grabbing Rye.
"Night Night." He says, and falls asleep in Peeta's arms.
"Right you too, up to bed. No arguing, or killing eachother whilst im asleep! And keep the noise down if you do anything else." She smirks tiredly and makes her way up the stairs.
Me and Cato follow and lie down on the bed.
"How come you came to find me Cato?" I ask him.
"Because I love you babe, I am so sorry I was a dickhead. Am I forgiven? You don't understand, I know I went to far. I am sorry Clovely."
"I love you too, and I forgive you. Can I please sleep now! I am so tired, and don't forget I love you."
"How could I boo, I love you too."
I snuggle into his arms, and we both follow into a deep dreamless sleep.
