Gale's Return -
Just a quick note - I'm trying to continue the fluff but kind of link it in with the smut before I jump right in. I wanna make it seem more realistic, other than the pure smut, rated M, fics that I've written before. I feel like they need a good connection before I go into anything else so I hope this isn't dragging too long for you! - dashingtwi
Chapter 2 -
Gale finally fully awoke. The light from outside glaring through the open curtains. He noticed the cold, empty space next to him; where Peeta was laying earlier. He heard some movement downstairs. It was probably just Peeta in the kitchen. Gale pulled himself out of Peeta's bed, grabbed his t-shirt that was laying on the floor and walked down the long hallway into his new room. The room was much colder than the warm bed and room that he had just left, he kinda wanted to go back, but instead he just sat on the edge of his unused, made up bed. The sheets were cold and crisp against his warm, bare legs which helped him to wake up in a way.
"Gale?" He heard Peeta call quietly as some footsteps approached his bedroom. "Oh you're in here, I made you breakfast." Gale looked up to see Peeta standing in the doorway, a tray with food and drink on his in his outstretched arms. Gale looked up to see a right smile on Peeta's face and Gale couldn't help but return the smile too with a slight chuckle in the back of his throat. "Thanks Peeta, you didn't have to do that." Gale stood and walked over to Peeta and took the tray out of Peeta's hands and placed it on the side. He picked up one of the rolls, took a bite, followed by a sip of the orange juice next to it then turned back to Peeta; who was still standing in his boxers in the doorway with just an undone shirt hanging loosely over his shoulders. "It's alright, I was making myself some and just thought I'd grab you some stuff too. How long you been up?" Peeta ended with a question and took a few steps towards Gale who was sitting back on the edge of his bed. "Just a few minutes. I heard you downstairs and thought I'd come back in here" Gale looked up to Peeta who was standing a few steps in front of him. Gale had never noticed how well built and muscular Peeta was. Even with his smaller frame he had such a nice body. He reached out and began lightly tracing Peeta's abs. "Your body is just-it's" Peeta laughed which cut Gale off. "What?" Gale laughed back, smiling up at Peeta. "Nothing, just nobody has said that before. Its weird. Anyway, you need a shave Gale" Peeta was thumbing Gale's jawbone, feeling the rough stubble that Gale had left untouched for a few days. Peeta liked the feel of Gale's face and skin. He liked the roughness of his stubble and the softness of his cheeks just above. "I take it back. I like how it feels. Keep it?" Peeta gave Gale a slight, half-grin before leaning down and lightly planting a kiss on Gales lips. "If you like it so much then, yeah. Okay, but what do I get in return, I'm not handing out favours for free here Peeta?" Gale said jokingly, Peeta laughed a little before turning and walking out of the room. Gale followed Peeta with his eyes and saw him just walking through the door, his round ass tightly filling the boxers that clung to his skin. "I've made my mind up Peeta. That's what I want in return!" Gale slightly raised his voice so that Peeta could hear it. "Thought you would" Peeta called back from down the hallway. Gale wasn't used to having someone tease him as much as Peeta was, but it felt good. It felt right. Finally Gale has found someone that he genuinely cares about; more than Katniss.
Gale showered, got cleaned up (remembering to leave his stubble), changed his underwear and top and walked down the hallway towards Peeta's room. He stood in the doorway and noticed Peeta was changing. He'd obviously just had a shower too. "So, you got much planned for today?" Gale asked Peeta. He'd almost forgotten what is was like back here in 12. "Not really. I just wanted to chill today. Watch films, read maybe I'm not sure. You got anything" Gale thought for a second but couldn't think of anything better. He had none of his hunting gear and nothing specific that he had to do right now anyway. "I was thinking I'd just spend the day here? If that's alright?" Peeta's face lit up, "Yeah that's cool. You can come and chill with me if you want?" He sat down on his bed, and Gale joined him. Peeta was flicking through films, once again and chose a random one. Gales arm was around Peeta as they were laying on the bed. Peeta moved Gale's had up and, like before, he slowly began kissing along Gale's hand. It was comforting for Gale to have someone to hold and to have somebody that felt the same way about him that he felt towards them. "I don't know what this is, going on here Gale but I really like it. I don't want it to just end and be over in a few days you know?" Peeta looked up at Gale. Gale felt his heart sink a bit when he saw a small flicker of fear and sadness in Peeta's eyes. He lifted his free hand and upped the side of Peeta's face. "Don't worry Peeta, I don't want this to go away either. You've got me and I've got you and all I know is that I want it to last forever too." Gale slowly leant down and kissed Peeta. His tongue slowly running along Peeta's lip before Peeta parted them. They both began kissing, slowly but with passion. Gale was still cupping Peeta's face and could feel the light stubble on Peeta's face brushing against his own. He pulled back, smiled and looked at Peeta. "I get why you wanted me to keep my stubble now" They smiled at each other. Peeta's lips visibly red from their kiss and turned back to the film. Gale was lightly running his large, rough hand along Peeta's muscular thigh. "You're perfect Peeta" Peeta laughed, "What? Stop being so cheesy and watch the film" Gale chucked softly and kissed Peeta lightly on the end of his nose, then turned back to watching their film; his hand still resting on Peeta's leg.
I know not a lot happened in this chapter either guys! But as I've said this isn't one of my usual one-shots. The next chapter will likely be some fluff but I'm preparing for it to contain a lot more smut so be prepared! I'm currently working on Chapter 3 so it shouldn't take more than a few days! Follow and save this story and you will be updated when I add more! Thank you so much for reading so far and if you have any comments be sure to leave them! I also apologise for any incorrect spellings/grammar, I have checked multiple times but sometimes you'll still miss something! - dashingtwi
