Just knock on the door Katniss don't be a baby I said to myself. Taking a deep breath I knocked on the door and waited, I could hear people moving around so I knocked again.

"What!" Someone threw open the door. "I don't know you but I want to," it was Cato he didn't have a shirt on and I was finding it a bit hard to breath.

"P..p..p..Peeta," I stuttered like an idiot his chest was so, just wow.

"Yeah you're the chick from 12," he said blocking the doorway.

"Yeah I am is Peeta here?" I said looking up at his face.

"What's your name?" he said eyeing me up

"Is Peeta here?"

"That's a funny name," he said smiling.

"I just want to see Peeta," I said trying not to look at him in the eye.

"I don't think you can come in here," he laughed.

"I asked the teacher so how about you just move out of my way," I said.

"Sure thing," he said moving out of the way. The accommodation in district nine was different from the others, it was more of a dorm with ten beds lined against the wall separated only by a bedside table. To be honest I would have rather this had happened in another district so that only four people were staring at me instead of ten.

"Katniss," Finnick said sitting up he didn't have a shirt on either. What kind of hell was this?

"Where is Peeta?" I almost whispered.

"Over there," he said pointing to a bed across the room of course Peeta was the only one on this room that was still asleep.

"Thanks," I said making my way across the room to Peeta.

"Peeta," I leant down next to his bed and whispered into his ear. "Peeta," I whispered again but he just rolled over.

"Wake up Peeta," I said kissing the back of his neck.

"hmm," he said swatting the back of his neck.

"Peeta," I said poking his neck causing him to roll over on to his back. Getting off the floor I climbed onto the bed and straddled him, leaning down and lightly kissing his lips.

"Wake up," I said again. For a morning person he took a while to wake up.

"Peeta come on," I said kissing him again eventually he began to kiss me back.

"Good morning," I said after I stopped kissing him.

"This is a cruel dream," he laughed.

"Its not a dream Peeta," I kissing him again then climbing off him.

"It must be because you're going to be in so much trouble if its not," he said giving me a dirty look.

"I asked if I could," I said picking up the bag I bought with me. "Happy birthday!" I announced handing him the bag.

"Come here," he said ignoring the bag pulling me down into the bed kissing me. "You remembered," he said when we parted.

"Of course I remembered I have been lugging your presents through four districts," I laughed presenting him with the bag again.

"Thanks," he took the bag and I sat on the end of the bed.

"Is it your birthday?" Finnick said coming over slapping Peeta on the back.

"Yeah," Peeta smiled.

"How old are you now?" Finnick asked.

"Eighteen," Peeta was officially older than me.

"Should have shared this I would have gotten you something. Oh wait I did," he said throwing a package onto the bed. "Katniss only told us yesterday so its just something shitty. Its mostly from Annie but I'm gonna put my name on it as well."

"Open mine first," I said opening the bag and handing him one of the presents.

"From you," he said holding it up to his ear shaking it.

"You're going to break it," I said stopping him from shaking it.

"Okay," he laughed ripping the paper off it discarding it.

"What is it?" he said holding up the shinny black box.

"You have to open it," I laughed. I had spent forever trying to think of something to get him and I had finally found the perfect watch but I needed to order it all the way from district 2.

"I though it was something you could use," I said after he opened it. "I mean you don't have one."

"I love it," he said taking the watch out of the box.

"Does it fit?" I said taking it off him and slipping it over his hand. "I didn't know if I should get some links taken out."

"Its perfect," Peeta said kissing me.

"You sure you like it?" I asked.

"I love it," he smiled kissing me again.

"And before I throw up we will move on," Finnick laughed.

"Okay so this is from Mum and Prim," I said taking out the next box.

"You made them buy me a present?" he said giving me a look.

"Open your present Peeta," I ordered. Mum and Prim had gotten Peeta a wooden box full of different paints, brushes, charcoal, Pastels and pencils.

"Seriously," he said opening it looking over the box.

"Now I knew you would like," I said he had a giant smile on his face as he ran his fingers over the paints.

"You really are a giant art nerd," Finnick laughed.

"Shut up Finnick," I said throwing a pillow at him.

"I need to shower don't open ours until breakfast or Annie will kill us both," Finnick said getting up.

"Now that he is gone," Peeta said leaning forward and kissing me.

"There is a couple more," I said.

"Who else would buy me a present?" he laughed.

"This one is from Wyatt and Dana," I said presenting him with another present.

"This one is from Wynn and Rose," I handed him another.

"This one Bran, Gaspar and Tyler," I said handing him another one.

"I didn't think this may people liked me," he laughed.

"Open your presents Mellark," I snapped.

"Okay okay," he said reaching for the first one. Dana and Wyatt had gotten him a shirt, Wynn and Rose had gotten him a new pair of shoes and the others got him a jacket.

"A whole out fit," I laughed.

"Just the way I like you without pants," I laughed. "Oh wait I forgot this one," I picked another present off the floor.

"Is this the last one," he said shaking his head.

"Yes I promise," I said crossing my heart.

"Is this from you?" he said.

"No from mum she found them just before she left and she bought them for you," I said as he opened it.

"Jeans," he said smiling lifting them up.

"Yeah mum said that the jeans were old," personally I liked his jeans they hung right on his hips and his ass looked amazing in them.

"Thank you," he smiled.

"I would have made you a cake if we were at home," I said kissing him.

"And I would have eaten it all and pretended that it was nice and wasn't burnt," he said kissing me.

"Your to good for me," I laughed.

"Thank you so much for the watch and everything. I really love it," he said kissing me.

"I better go," I said collecting all the wrapping paper and putting it in the bag.

"I will see you at breakfast," he said getting out of bed hugging me. "Best birthday ever."

"I'm glad," I said kissing him. "I don't want to leave," I said tightening my grip around his neck.

"You have to go," Peeta whispered.

"No," I said kissing his neck reaching my hand down and playing with the drawstring on his Pj pants. "I want to get into bed with you."

"God," he said pulling me closer.

"Come on we wait until everyone leaves and we can," I said kissing him slipping my hand down his pants.

"Fuck we can't Katniss you know that," Peeta whispered removing my hand.

"But I want to," I said kissing him again.

"Believe me so do I but we cannot risk getting sent back to 12," he said.

"If we were back in 12 we could have sex," I said letting go of him.

"Believe me I want to but I don't want to go back there," he said.

"Fine," I sighed. "Your lucky you're so damn cute."

"I will see you at breakfast," Peeta said kissing my forehead.

"Happy birthday my amazing man," I got on my tippy toes and kissed his forehead.

"Peeta Peeta Peeta," Annie squealed running across the courtyard. The meals in nine were served in the court that separated the dorms we were staying in.

"Brace your self," Finnick said.

"Why?"

"Happy birthday," Annie screamed launching herself at Peeta knocking him off his feet.

"That's why," Finnick laughed.

"Happy birthday," she laughed and Peeta coughed.

"Come on Annie lets let Peeta breath a little," Finnick said lifting her off Peeta like she weighed nothing.

"You okay?" I said helping Peeta up.

"I'm fine," Peeta said coughing.

"Just had the wind knocked out of him," Finnick laughed. "Happens to me all the time she just gets a little excited."

"Happy birthday," she squealed again.

"Thanks Annie," Peeta said.

"Did Finnick give it to you?" she smiled.

"Thought you would like to see me open it," he flashing the package.

"Lets get food first," I said rubbing Peeta's back.

"I love birthdays," Annie said.

"I know," Finnick laughed leading Annie over to the food.

"You okay?" I asked.

"I'm fine. Just so I can brace myself how many other people have you told?" he asked taking my hand.

"No one," I laughed.

"You're a terrible liar," he said letting go of my hand and wrapping his arms around my waist.

"I'm not lying," I laughed.

"As long as people don't jump out from behind something and yell surprise," he laughed.

"What would be wrong with that?" I asked.

"No Katniss," he sighed.

"I'm just going to talk to Finnick for a second," I said pretending to walk off.

"Your joking right," Peeta said grabbing my hand and pulling me back.

"Yeah I am I don't think I like you enough to plan a surprise party," I said.

"Oh wait until your birthday," he laughed.

"You going to make me a cake?" I asked filling my plate.

"I don't think you need a cake," she said.

"Did you just call me fat?" I asked watching him get his food.

"No," he laughed. "You always get my cakes I would make you something special."

"Nice save," I laughed.

"No party," he asked again.

"No party but Annie somehow found you a cake. So just act surprised," I laughed.

When we got to the table Annie still had the biggest smile on her face.

"Open it," Annie said bouncing up and down.

" Let him eat," Finnick said.

"Its fine," Peeta pulled the package out.

"What is it?" Peeta said looking it over in his hands.

"Open it," Annie squealed. But just as Peeta was about to open it there was a loud bang and in a moment you could see her shrink back into her shell.

"Its okay," Finnick put his arm around her. She just whimpered and buried her head in his chest.

"You okay Annie?" Peeta said putting the present down.

"District nine is the most industrial of all the districts. For every 100 people there is three factories, you are 85% more likely to be decapitated in district nine," she whispered.

"Annie it will be okay," Finnick said rubbing her arm.

"I want to go back to my room," she whispered.

"No we are going to do whatever they have planned," Finnick said.

"I'm not. I'm going to go back to my room," she said.

"Come on Annie," Finnick said. "You were doing so good." I felt a little uncomfortable listening in on their conversation.

"No," she screamed pushing Finnick away standing up.

"Sit down Annie," Finnick ordered.

"No," he voice broke when she yelled at him.

"I will go back to the room with her its okay," I said standing up.

"Sit down Katniss," Finnick snapped.

"Annie nothing is going to happen to you now sit down," he snapped.

"No I'm going back to my room," she said. "I have done enough."

"Sit down Annie," Finnick said pulling her down next to him,

"No no no no no no no no no no no," Annie said covering her ears.

"Annie," Finnick sighed putting his arm around her.

"Please please," Annie said crying.

"I'm sorry," Finnick said resting his forehead against hers.

"I can't I can't," she said shaking her head.

"You were going so good," Finnick said.

"I want to go back to bed," she sobbed.

"I'll take her," I said jumping up. "Come on Annie."

"I ruined Peeta's birthday," she sobbed when we got back into the room.

"No you didn't," I laughed.

"I can't help it," she crawled into her bed.

"I know its okay," I said tucking her in.

"I just can't," she muttered.

"Its okay Annie you just sleep and then tonight you can give Peeta his cake."

"I will be okay when I wake up," she said.

"See you then," I said turning the light off as I left the room.

"You are a giant bread nerd," Finnick laughed.

"I am a baker," Peeta had bags full with samples of different grains and flour that he had bought over the day.

"You see back in four we call that a nerd," Finnick laughed.

"I don't think you're a nerd," I said kissing his cheek.

"Thanks babe," he smiled.

"He makes this amazing bread with cheese on the top of it hmmmmm," I said licking my lips.

"So you're the domestic one," Finnick laughed.

"He is an amazing cook," I don't think I was doing anything for his credibility.

"Aw your such a cute little house wife," Finnick said laughing.

"A house wife that can still kick your ass," Peeta laughed.

"I would love to see that," Finnick said rolling up his sleeves.

"Hold my bags," Peeta said hanging me his bags.

"Not the face," I warned Finnick. "I still want my wife to be pretty."

"Thank you for the support," he said poking out his tongue.

Finnick and Peeta started bouncing around pretending to punch each other.

"I never got this male drive to show dominance over others," Beetee said joining me.

"But it is like you were talking about in nine," I said. "It is human instinct men take care of their families and to do that they do this."

"They aren't even hitting each other," Beetee said.

"It is modern day," I laughed. "Men don't need to take care of the family so now they just pretend to fight," I said as Finnick tackled Peeta to the ground.

"I said don't hurt him," I yelled.

"I'm fine," Peeta yelled wrestling with Finnick.

"I heard that it was his birthday," Beetee said pointing to Peeta.

"Yeah my boy is 18 he is so big," I said sniffing.

"Yes eighteen is a real milestone," Beetee laughed.

"Okay I think that is enough," I said moving over to break Finnick and Peeta up.

"I think I won that one," Finnick laughed. "But since it's your birthday."

"I won it fair and square," Peeta laughed.

"I was watching the whole thing and I'm going to say that it was all Peeta," I said kissing him.

"This was rigged," Finnick threw his hands up in the air.

"I'm sorry," I said patting him on the back.

"I'm just going to check on the love of my life," he laughed running off.

"Give these back," he said taking the stuff off me.

"I hear it is your birthday," Beetee said to Peeta.

"You telling everyone?" Peeta said looking at me.

"Well I was going to get one of those mega phones to announce it to everyone but Glimmer got them all for her big meat announcement," I said.

"I didn't have time to get you anything but I will give you this one of the wisest old people once said It is our choices...that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities."

"Thank you," Peeta said looking confused.

"It is something good to live the rest of your life by," Beetee said.

"Thank you," Peeta smiled.

"I will see you at dinner," Beetee said smiling.

"See you," Peeta waved.

"It is our choices...that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities," Peeta repeated. "It is kind of poetic."

"You know we have some spare time we could go and fool around a little," I whispered into Peeta's ear.

"Come on then," he said smiling.

"Really?"

"Yeah come on," he said kissing me.

"I'll beat you there," I said moving away from him.

"It not fair it's my birthday," he joked. "You have to let me win."

"Fine I will give you a head start," I laughed.

"Peeta," someone squealed.

"Run," Peeta said.

"I'm sorry I didn't get to spend your birthday with you," Annie said skipping towards us.

"That's okay," Peeta said smiling at her.

"Did you open your present?" she asked.

"Not yet wanted to wait for you," he said.

"What did you get?" Annie asked looking into the bag Peeta held.

"Just some flour and grains for back at home," he said.

"Come on," Annie said taking my hand and leading me back towards the dorms.

"Are you coming Peeta?" I said as Annie dragged me away.

"Now we know that if you were at home all your friends would had given you a giant party and we really tried to come up with a way to do it," I said.

"No you didn't I swear you two if anyone yells out surprise I will kill you both," Peeta warned.

"It's a surprise if we are telling you about it now," Annie said shaking her head.

"So what is it?" Peeta sighed.

"This morning we were only able to get a cake but I woke up at noon and felt a lot better and the kitchen staff helped me," Annie said smiling.

"I hate both of you," he said smiling.

"Come on," I said taking his hand and opening the door to the courtyard. It was covered in balloons, streamers and a giant banner that said

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PEETA

"How the hell did you do all this?" Peeta said looking around the courtyard.

"I like parties," Annie said smiling.

"And you helped do this?" he asked looking at me.

"I only thought it would be a cake," I admitted.

"Thank you both so much," he said dropping what he had in his arms and taking us both into his arms.

"Hey hands off the merchandise," Finnick said coming up to us.

"Do you like it?" Annie said jumping into Finnick's arms.

"A bit over the top," he said hugging her.

"Come and sit down Peeta," Annie said taking his hand and sitting him down in front of a cake.

"Its chocolate," Annie said hitting Finnicks hand away.

"My favorite," Peeta said smiling.

"Where is the camera?" I asked it was time for a taste of his own medicine.

"Here," he said throwing it at me.

"Smile," I said taking a picture.

"Open your present," Annie said as I took a picture of her.

"It's a book," she squealed before Peeta even got the wrapping paper off it.

"Bread from the districts," Peeta smiled holding it up and I quickly snapped a picture.

"I found it at the train station in nine it has all different recipes of different bread that they have in all the districts," Annie explained.

"Thank you so much I love it," he said leaning over and kissing her on the cheek. Which made me a little jealous.

"Hey unless I get a kiss keep your lips to yourself," Finnick said.

"Come here then," Peeta joked opening his arms.

" Finally," Finnick said jumping into them wrapping his arms around Peeta's neck. I just had to take a picture to show everyone at home.

"You can leave is now," Finnick joked. "We are in love."

Hope you like I know you didn't get to see much of the district but I though all the Peeta and Katniss love would be better.

Please tell me what you think District 8 should be up in the next couple of days .
