Chapter 9: Catching Up…Kinda

Katniss's P.O.V

Woah, I don't think I've ever slept that good in my life. It was like I caught up on all of the nights I didn't get sleep while Peeta was gone. I turn around slightly, so I don't move the arm that is placed tightly around my waist. I face him and smile at the sight of his mouth open. I move my hand to brush the hair out of his face, careful enough not to wake him. He moans and wakes up, his eyes look scared for a second until they land on mine.

"Hey there," he says, sleepily.

"Hi." Is this all we have to say to eachother? Come on Katniss!

So without warning I force my lips to his, and he gladly complies, when I pull away, he just smiles.

"Is this how every morning is going to be? I'm not complaining, just…thinking I could get used to this." I just laugh and continue. I could get used to this too.

Haymitch's P.O.V

When I finally reach Coin's office is when I panic, What the hell am I supposed to say? 'Hey the wars not over yet, your pride and joy is fake'? No. I open the door and she looks startled, she's sitting behind her oak desk with a bunch of papers in front of her.

"May I help you?" She says in that terrible sarcasm.

"Attack…bunkers…now…" Wow I am out of shape.

"Impossible, the war is over." She says back, in a matter-of-fact tone.

"No it's not! It was too easy! Can't you see? He's playing you with the oldest trick in the book! OPEN YOUR EYES!" I'm screaming in her face and you can see everything pass in her eyes, shock, hurt, scared, but most of all emergency.

"Alert the guards, tell them it's code 1! Get to the bunkers and wait for further insructions!" I run to the nearest guard, which is thankfully at the end of this hallway.

"President Coin says 'Code 1'!" He just looks alarmed and runs off to who knows where, I have another mission. Protect the ones closest to me. I will not fail.

Peeta's P.O.V

Katniss and I really don't have much to say to eachother, I don't talk about torture and she doesn't talk about 13 or Gale and his new girlfriend, Haleigh. I am happy for the guy, well that just means one less threat to Katniss and I. She seems to be bothered by it, and whatever bothers Katniss bothers me, but if she loves me shouldn't Haleigh not bother her? It's confusing, but I just have to trust her I guess.

"Hey love." She's at the table hungrily awaiting my famous cheese buns. After that little make-out session, I was…surprised to say the least. Forget taking it slow, Katniss must have missed me a lot. And yes, that sort of boost up my confidence.

I walk to the table with a huge tray full of cheese buns and her eyes grow huge.

"Are we going to eat this all?" I chuckle.

"If you want to, I was going to take some to the dining hall to feed the other people of District 13 but…now I'm not so sure since your drooling." She uses her sleeve to wipe it off of her chin, she's so cute when she's embarrassed. She blushes and looks at the floor. I pick up her chin and force her to look at me.

"Don't be embarrassed love, I love you no matter what." She smiles and gives me a soft kiss. I smile and think, Could life be any better?

Katniss's P.O.V

Wow. What a breakfast. After a huge tray of cheese buns we moved to the couch and just cuddled. Sounds lame, I know, but that's a big part of what I missed. His touch, his breath, his warmth, his voice, his smile. The list goes on and on. I hope he doesn't think I moving to fast, I just really missed him. It still shocks me that I depended so much on one person, I lived on my own for so long, providing for Prim and my mother after my father died. Now that I have Peeta, my life has changed. Without him, I'm nothing. And I've finally admitted that.

"What's on your mind?" He asked after a quiet pause.

"You, as always. And what I was without you." He smiles and I can tell he's trying to contain most of it.

"Can you be more smug?" I ask laughing.

"Why yes, I can actually." He hugs me tighter and pulls me in for a kiss. I kiss back and can't help but smile. This is how it's supposed to be. Until Haymitch barges in.
