A/N: YAY! i just watched the hunger games and it was flippin' SPECTACULAR! yay, school tomorrow.. yipee...
I immediately drop the biscuit I was holding before and rush over to Katniss. I take in her appearance. Two beautiful silver eyes. Long silky brown hair put in a braid. A backpack slung over her shoulder. Her clothes may have a little dirt, but that doesn't stop me from holding her tightly and not letting go. Beautiful. Still beautiful. Always beautiful. Forever beautiful. Nothing could ever be as beautiful as my Katniss Everdeen. With my arms around her waist, I take in the scent of her skin and hair. Pine. Pure pine. As pure as her mind. Perfection. Even when she doesn't visit the forest for a while, the smell of pine seems to be forever soaked into the pores of her skin and the ends of her hair. And I'm glad. It reminds me that she'll always be free from the disgusting smell of other girls. Katniss clutches me like a lifeline. As if I were breathing life into her. I wonder if she knows that she has that effect on me.
"Stay with me?" I rasp with my shaky voice.
"Always." She says with a trembling voice. And I think the breath I was holding in, makes it's way out of my mouth.
"Katniss!" Prim exclaims. Katniss releases her grip on me, but I keep one arm wound around her waist. If I let her go, I'm gonna go crazy. And if you think I'm letting go, you're crazy. Katniss kneels down and gives Prim a hug. I keep a hold of Katniss by keeping my hand on her shoulder. Prim bursts into tears, and Lilly seems to awkwardly stand there. Katniss notices, she she motions for Lilly to come over. Katniss lets go of Prim and hugs Lilly.
"Thank you Lilly. You were there for her when I wasn't. And I owe you for that." She mumbles. She owes her.. Katniss hates owing people. She never wants to owe people.
"No need," Lilly says simply. Katniss smiles, at Prim starts to skip around.
"Well, you can do all your lovey-dovey stuff here, so Lilly.." she trails off taking Lilly's hands.
"Thank you Prim," Katniss says sarcastically. Prim smiles, but before leaving she takes her biscuits with her. Katniss laughs, before putting her hands around my neck. Pulling me in for a hug.
"Sorry I left you, Peeta." She mumbles.
"Just glad you're back." I say to her. And it's true. Katniss pulls away, and suddenly I'm cold without her. Katniss smirks, and bites into a biscuit.
"Mmmmmm..." her eyes roll to the back of her head, and her lips twitch up into a smile. I sneak up behind her while she's distracted, and my arms snake around her waist. Katniss starts to laugh, and I turn her around.
"What? No kiss?" I ask innocently. She smirks, and I pull her in for a kiss. Her lips are still soft, and perfect. When we pull away, Katniss rests her head on my chest.
"Katniss, I love you." I tense up, because I don't think I've ever told her this in such a heavy mood.
"I love you too, Peeta." She whispers softly. My heart races, and I feel like I'm soaring. My smile grows, and I feel like a lovestruck idiot. But, that's just what Katniss does to me. I pick her up and twirl her around. She giggles a little, and screams at me
"Let me down!" she screams. I smile at her, and let her down. She still seems dazed, so I lean in to kiss her. And I feel like the luckiest guy in the world. Because Katniss Everdeen loves me. And I love her. Katniss pouts as I snatch the biscuit from her plate. I smirk, and dangle it front of her face teasingly.
"You have to earn it." I stae. Then before I know it, Katniss locks her hands behind my neck and pulls me in for a deep passionate kiss. She leaves me breathless, and Katniss smirks.
"Did I earn it?" she asks innocently. I nod, and hand it to her. Oh god. Katniss Everdeen has no idea what she's capable of.
nope. Katniss is just oblivious. then again, this is Katniss.
