Chapter 1:

Peeta's P.O.V

"Gale..." I slowly breathed as his face got closer to mine. "Peeta its okay I know you want this..." He whispered right into my ear. I stopped the little struggle I was giving him when he first had gotten on top of me. He took his shirt off and tied my hands together with it. "G-Gale, n-no we can't do this here..." He was ignoring my soft cries of defeat, and lifted my shirt up above my chest. He made his way back to my face and run his lips onto mine, "Mmph~" I couldn't do anything to stop him. I noticed something wet was trying to open my lips up, his tongue. I-I did want this, just not here, not now. I gave in to him and parted my lips, his tongue meeting with mine.

Knock, Knock.

I awoke from my dream, blushing. I found a shirt laying on a chair somewhere and put it on to go and answer the door, finding Gale. It's been about a month since he saved me. I really don't know how to repay him yet, but I'm sure I'll do it soon. "Gale!" I gave him a smile letting him inside. We both plopped onto the couch in the living room, "Are you hungry? I made some stew!" I went into the kitchen and got him a bowl of the soup. "You've gotten better at cooking Peeta" he gave me a small smile and chuckle.

He still doesn't know that I am in love with him. I haven't told him because I was afraid if Gale knew I was gay or something like that, he would feel uncomfortable around me and soon stop coming to see me at all. "Peeta? You okay?" "Huh? Oh yeah! Just spaced out, how about we watch some T.V.?" I flipped the television on but to be honest, I didn't really even like all of these stupid Capitol shows.

I went over and occupied the seat next to him. "You don't mind do you?" "No, it's okay like this." I looked into his eyes and smiled, "I just wish he knew..." Thinking to myself, from lack of sleep I struggled to keep my eyelids open and found myself leaning further and further off to the side, closer to Gale's broad shoulders. I could tell the shift in his body and found my head resting somewhere in his lap.

"H-Hmmn?" I could tell I was being moved to a different place, slung over Gale's shoulder. We were still in my house and were approaching my bedroom. He lied me down onto the bed softly not trying to wake me, although I was half way sleeping, and awake already. I just kept my eyes closed so he would be satisfied with his work, and then it was cold. I barely opened my eyes to see he was removing my clothes but, w-why was he doing this? He only left on my cotton boxers and he did the same to himself, and crawled into my bed with me. Of course, I didn't mind any of his actions but I was wondering why. I closed my eyes fully again and I felt a pair of strong, soft lips on my forehead "Goodnight Peeta." I felt Gale cuddle up with me and slowly he had fallen asleep.

I couldn't go to sleep, my mind racing thinking of any sorts of reasons why he was doing this. Does he really love me? Could he? Whatever the reason I'll just pretend I was asleep the whole time, just to see what kind of reaction I would get out of him. Soon, I decided to enjoy this moment and I turned to where our faces were facing each other. His chest slowly rising then falling back down, I could feel his hot breath on my face, and his lips were slightly pursed open.

Underneath the covers was a totally different world. It was like back in the lake, but different our bodies much closer and exposed to each other. I examined his body up and down trying to memorize everything from his glorious body. I just wish all of this was mine, and for now it was. I came back up from underneath the blanket and Gale was still sleeping. I scooted in closer to his body and wrapped my arms around his body. He took a slightly different breathe, as sounding as he was awake. "N-No! Is he awake?"

Then it returned to the same breathing that he was doing when he was asleep, softer and longer breaths. I laid my head into the space between his jaw and shoulder, fitting perfectly. I smiled from this and looked up at his face. I pulled my head back and was moving in closer to the boy. Our lips were centimeters away, I felt his breath even hotter as I got closer and closer.

Finally I pushed my lips onto his.

I kept it just like this, afraid if I went any further he would wake. I pulled away finally and was blushing deeply from the action I had just pulled. "Gale…" I said aloud, "I love you…" I pulled his body closer to mine, no space in between the two of us at all. I put my arms around his body once more and his head found its way to the space where I had put mine on his shoulder. I-I think I felt his lips move, moving into a smile? I couldn't tell at all. Maybe it was just my imagination, I needed sleep.

I hugged him and stayed in this position, all night if I could say. I would want to stay here forever if I could; this was the most perfect place I had ever been in my life. I kissed the side of his head once more and finally felt sleep over take me. Now this is what I call love.
