Disclaimer: I do not own The Hunger Games

Katniss

"W-What?" The word escaped my mouth. I could feel my cheeks blush a bright crimson. Peeta just smiled, showing his perfect teeth. My mouth was wide open, and I just couldn't make myself seal them together.

"Sweetheart, why are you turning red?"he teased. I could just feel more blood rise to my already red cheeks. Annie's head popped out from the opening of the cubbyhole. I relaxed. I felt obliged to answer Peeta's question, even though I knew it was rhetorical, and now I saw my way out.

"They're here!" Annie squealed in a high-pitched voice. I got up and took Peeta's hand.

"Let's go. Wouldn't want them to know our hiding place don't we?"

"We wouldn't want them to go through there," Peeta pointed to the small entrance. I laughed.

"If they went through there…"he stopped and grinned. I knew what he was thinking. I couldn't help but laugh harder.

"When are you two getting married?" Haymitch yawned, making me wonder if he even likes to know. I looked at Peeta who was smiling.

"How about now?" He looked serious.

"What? Let's not rush things Cheese Buns." I smiled. I wanted to tease my fiancé a little.

"Cheese Buns? That's my nickname for you. Don't go using it." He frowned.

"Okay, what do you want to call you? Gingerbread man?"

"No. That sucks."

"Then it's perfect. You're now called as 'Gingy'." I grinned.

"You did not answer your mentor's question!" Johanna barked. It was obvious that she was also excited. It was unusual to witness Johanna interested in something.

"Wait a minute." Peeta stood up and went to the kitchen. He came back moments later carrying a plate with bread slices. He toasted one in the fireplace fire and handed out one to me. "Want some?"He asked, grinning again. I assessed the bread and saw that it was burnt. "I don't like it that way Peeta." I grabbed a tong and toasted one the way I wanted it. I could only see the people behind me trying to stop snickering. I glared at them. "There, we're married."Peeta laughed. Oops. I did not see that one coming. My mouth was agape. I could only glower at Peeta.

"No! We aren't married Gingy."

"Yes we are."

"No! Uh, we have to sign papers first!"

"You mean these?" Haymitch held the papers up.

"What are those?"

"Nuptial Contracts. We're married Cheese Buns." Peeta smiled.

"What? I did not even know I signed them!"

"You did. Only, you were drunk."

"What?" I was angry. I leaped towards Haymitch and snatched the papers from his hands. Suddenly, the room was filled with laughter.

"You're so gullible Catnips." Annie giggled.

The papers in my hands were not the ones Peeta said they were. They were only paper with neat blocks of writing, saying I was fooled. A mix of emotions stirred within me. A part was laughing, for I was fooled. A part cried out humiliation for Annie described me as gullible. And a part was quite disappointed that we weren't really married. But I just scowled outside. I shook my head as a sign of disgust and stormed out of the room.

"Katniss!" Peeta called out as usual. For a change, I stopped and waited for him. He enfolded me in his arms and began his warm laugh.

"Why'd you do that?" I asked, allowing my vulnerability show.

"What, for faking the marriage part?" I swallowed, and then nodded.

"Why, you want me to do it for real?" he asked, brushing a strand of stray hair away from my eyes. He lifted my chin and looked at me in the eye. I blushed. I decided to tell the truth.

"Yes. I want you to do it for real."

"Okay." he smiled at me, his brilliant blue eyes dancing.

"Wait, how did you know I wanted to?" I asked as we walked back into the lounge.

"Didn't I already tell you about the time you proposed to me?"

"As a matter of fact, you already did." I replied proudly.

"Then that is the answer. And how you've been acting earlier was also a sign that you wanted it to be real."

I did not understand why he was able to decipher my actions. I tried to hide them, not to let him show the truth that was boiling inside of me. I just blushed. I did not know why I was blushing like mad. It seemed that I am having a blush syndrome today. I sauntered off to the lounge, leaving Peeta behind. I just looked too stupid. I looked childlike. I don't know if my pride has been left unscathed.

Peeta

Katniss meandered to the lounge without me. She was, I think, a bit offended of what I had done. I made her susceptible to all kinds of thoughts. I made her look simpleminded. But I guess she loves me too much to even tell me what she was thinking. Katniss truly changed. I just don't know whether for the better or worse.

As I walked into the room, everyone looked at me. It has been a routine actually. When I walk in, they look at me as if I had something important to say. I guess I do have something to say.

"I have something to say," I began. Everyone just kept silent. I cleared my throat, to lessen my nervousness. " I just wanted to thank you guys for all your help and support for my not-so-organized planning this week." Everyone except Katniss grinned from ear to ear. They were proud that they had done something to help me. "Thanks guys. Thank you Enobaria, for your help and cooperation. Haymitch, just plain thanks." Haymitch just smirked at me then washed his mouth with the bottle of liquor in his hand. "Johanna, Annie, thank you for all the girly stuff." Johanna narrowed her eyes as if she was angry, then smiled. Annie beamed proudly. "Beetee, for all your marvelous expertise. I could see Beetee smile through his usually frowning face. "And last but not the least, President Paylor. Thank you for lending us you town. And even the whole city. Thank you." I saw a mischievous grin on Paylor's lips. Paylor is very mysterious. Maybe she is a really fun President. I caught Katniss' gaze and gave her a wink.

She blushed again but then turned her head away. Nobody seemed to notice it. But I just laughed inside.

Katniss, if you only knew what surprises I still have in store for you.
