Chapter 2 - PPOV:
A/N: Yes, Mrs. Everdeen may a little weird, but I just wanted to get past her because this is about Katniss and Peeta falling in love, not Mrs. Everdeen. So with that, I present Chapter 2!
I hear screaming in the distance and I know who's it is. Katniss's. Somehow, it doesn't wake up the rest of my family, but I'm sure that it woke up everybody in the Seam.
"Katniss?" I whisper. I slowly crawl out of bed and slip out the door, crawling downstairs and silently making my way across the Town and going to the far edge of the Seam where Katniss lives.
I knock on the front door, to find a very stressed Mrs. Everdeen open it. "Oh, thank God, it's you, Peeta. Come in, we need you," she says, ushering me inside. "How do you know who I am?" I ask. "Katniss told me all about you. She's very fond of you, you know," she responds.
"Go to her, Peeta. She needs you," she whispers in my ear. As I go to Katniss's room, I think about how cool Mrs. Everdeen is about everything. She must think Katniss is mature... Really mature...
"Katniss?" I ask. "Peeta?" she says, surprised, "I didn't think Mom really meant it when she said she would get you over here..." "Are you okay?" I ask, sitting at the foot of her bed. She shakes her head.
"You were... And I was..." she starts, but then bursts into sobs. I crawl up to her and hold her in my arms, letting her cry. "You were dead..." she whimpers. "Shhh... Katniss, it's okay... I'm right here, I'm here for you..." She looks up at me. "Promise?" she asks weakly. "Always," I whisper, kissing the top of her head.
"I love you, Peeta."
"I love you, too," I whisper.
"Are you sure, Peeta? I don't want you to say something you don't mean," she says quietly. I kiss her, and say, "Katniss, I definitely mean it. I would never lie to you."
"That's one of the many reasons why I love you," she whispers, kissing me. I hold her tighter and say, "You need your sleep." "No, I don't want to," she says stubbornly. "Katniss…" I say tiredly. "Well, are you going to fall asleep, too?" she asks. "Why would you ask a question like that?" "To see if you really do love me." "You really don't believe me?" I'm starting to get a little bit upset.
She laughs. "No, I believe you. I just wanted to see what you would look like if I said that," she says between giggles. "Oh, my God, Katniss, don't do that!" I say, hugging her. "But you look so cute when you're worried," she whines sweetly, fake-pouting. I chuckle, then sigh. "Sleep," I order.
After a long period of silence, she says, "Peeta, promise me you won't leave. If you're waiting for me to fall asleep so you can leave..."
"I won't leave you, Katniss, not now, not ever," I say. She smiles. "That's just what I want to hear. Now let's see of you meant it in the morning." She kisses my cheek, then says, "Good night, Peeta." I kiss her forehead, then wrap my arms around her. To my surprise, she snuggles closer.
No words, not now.
That would just ruin the moment.
