AN: Eight. The Eighth chapter of my second fanfiction. I must not interrupt your reading because of this Author's note which clearly states that I am such a loser. Okay, that made me laugh. I'm so funny. [Oops? Did I just say that? I suck.] Very well, continue on reading!

DISCLAIMER: I don't own the Hunger Games. I know you know that!

Katniss

My feet are cold. That is what came to my mind immediately after waking up. I looked down at my feet. They weren't covered in my favorite fleece blanket, which seemed to have fallen to the floor. Seeing that it was only 3 in the morning, I snatched the blanket from the floor and covered myself with its warmth. I tossed and turned in my bed. I didn't know why exactly. Realizing that I cannot sleep anymore, I got dressed, turned the knob and continued outside. Knowing I had nowhere to go but the rooftop, I crept silently upstairs and grasped the brass knob. Locked. I tried wiggling the knob again, but to no avail. Why would someone lock it? No one ever does. This is completely new.

"Kat?" I turned around to see the familiar face of my love, Peeta. He looked quite astonished, which was really odd. He was clothed like he was going somewhere. But then again, I was too. I gave him a smile.

"Look at us, dressed alike!"

"What are you doing here this early?"

"What are you doing here this early?" I countered, crossing my arms and raising my eyebrows like I see Johanna do when she likes to tease somebody. Peeta let out a snort and mimicked me. I couldn't help but giggle. "Okay. I couldn't sleep. What about you?" I walked closer to him. He just shrugged, which I knew, meant the same as my thoughts.

"The roof's locked by the way." I said, breaking the silence.

"I know. Uh, Paylor told me." Peeta said, looking down. I went closer to him and hugged him. I don't know why, but I guess the roof is where we had our special moments. Not being there is like, I don't know, depressing? I guess Peeta felt the same.

"So, where were you going then?"

Peeta

I didn't know what to tell Katniss. I did not expect her to be up here. I was supposed to work on some of the lights for a jumpstart. Now, things are not going the way they were planned. I fumbled for words.

"I was going for a walk," I started, trying hard to look into her dazzling gray eyes.

"But you're up here? "

That caught me off guard. It took me a while to think about what I would say which I knew was very foolish.

"I was looking for someone to come with me."

"You do know it's about three in the morning don't you?" I took a glance at my watch and grinned at her.

"It's already 4 AM sweetheart." I teased. Katniss narrowed her eyes and pursed her lips.

"I hate you."

"I hate you too cheese buns." I tickled her in the stomach. She hates it when I call her cheese buns. So I took it as a form of endearment when I want to tease her. Katniss giggled and tickled me back. She knows I have no tickle area and it doesn't work on me.

"Oh Katniss, don't tickle me! I'm gonna die!" I said sarcastically. She then stopped and hugged me.

"Don't die Peeta!" She said. I know that this tactic can make me stop tickling her. She was just so adorable so I had to stop. I clutched my heart and acted to fall. I closed my eyes and felt Katniss drop beside me. We lay there for a minute, just enjoying the silence. I started to sigh.

"So, Mr. Zombie, are we gonna take a walk?"

"Brains…." I started. Katniss laughed.

"Peeta!" I stood up and assisted Katniss.

"Yes. Yes we should."

Katniss

Peeta and I held hands as we strolled through the familiar streets of the Capitol. No one was out and we enjoyed each other's company. It was a silent walk not that much talking. When we were going back to the building, I stopped, making Peeta stop too.

"Do you love me Peeta?"Peeta snorted, and gripped my hands.

"Of course you know I do. What made you ask that?" I shrugged lightly and I moved closer to him.

"Nothing. I just wanted to make sure you do." I smiled and gave him a hug. Peeta laughed heartily.

"There's no one else for me. Why, do you think there is someone else for me?"

"Yeah."

"Who then?"

"I don't know. Delly. Madge. Johanna?"

"What?" He laughed, securing me with a tight hug.

"Why?" I asked, looking up to see his blue eyes.

"Nothing."He rubbed his chin, acting to think. "I'll think about that though." He said seriously.

I shoved him playfully and let out a loud laugh. He pressed his forefinger to his lips, shushing me.

"You'll wake up everybody!" he said, his eyes stern. I pouted, and walked away from him. Before I turned around, I saw him smile. I'm so fun. I thought sarcastically. Peeta made no effort to keep up with me. I left him behind and went inside.

Peeta

I watched as Katniss enter the Capitol building. I keep smiling; thinking what would happen if I postponed the proposal. Katniss had whispered that she'd want to marry me. What would her reaction me. That'd be fun. I thought. Maybe I could make her jealous for a little bit? I don't know. But whatever happens, this would be totally fun.

AN: Ugh. I went back to short chapters. Whatever. Please Review this chapter. Thanks guys!
