Disclaimer: I don't own Hunger Games… yay… sort of.
.: fond :.
Gale's hands curl into fists. He watches Katniss kiss Peeta with such enthusiasm that they resembles a loving couple.
He tells himself he doesn't love her like that. No, Gale doesn't have the power to love her through these tough times. But he can't stop the disbelief and jealously from taking hold.
Katniss's smile glows when she pulls back.
Gale wants that smile directed at him. He keeps telling himself that he doesn't have time for a romance, a family other than his own.
But the heart grows fond with distance, and he's starting to believe that all too quickly.
A/N: As per request of The District Sleeps Alone… sort of. I did Gale/Katniss instead, but there will be Katniss/Gale in the future. Thanks for reviewing! Jack, yours is up next.
Please review, it really inspires me to write. :)
