Gale POV

*15 mins earlier*

"Look at that animal Annie, it is running so fast"

"It is Pronghorn antelope, Madge. They are the 4th fastest running animals on earth."

"But Gale over here can run faster than that springhorn antelope" says Finnick dreamily definitely trying to do something between me and Madge.

"Oh really then can you beat the fastest girl Katniss" Madge says

"Umm…I can run fast but what about Madge, she too can run fast. Right Madge?" Katniss says and gives a knowing look to Finnick and he gives a small smirk.

"Then it is a race between Gale Hawthorne and Madge Undersee" Annie declares. Madge seemed clearly bored with this idea.

"Uh. Ok"

"I'm in. I'm in." I say like a child excited for Christmas.

"Steady and on my count, one, two, three, go…"Finnick shouts and that's when me and Madge start sprinting towards the place in front of us both of us not knowing where to go. But not bad, Madge was a fast runner but I still took the lead by a few inches and then I see she was getting tired. I stop in my tracks and walk towards her because she slowed down before.

"I give up Gale, you win"

"Alright then mighty Gale Hawthorne wins" I say earning a tired smile from Madge's face.

"Hey, why don't we get some rest under those trees and afterwards, we can go and join them?" she nods and we go and sit under a willow tree. Madge wipes off the beads of sweat dripping down her face. She looked very beautiful though.

"Beautiful" I say trying to say charmingly like Finnick but failing incredibly. Maybe I need more charming skill classes from Finn.

Her face turns from confusion to frustrate as she waits for me for an answer. She opens her mouth to say something but I cut off her with my lips. Her lips taste like strawberry and so soft. Her eyes were filled with shock and then when I was about to pull off, she put her hands around my neck and my hair and pulled me closer.

We were already enjoying the kiss but someone started singing.

"Gale and Madge under the tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G…" and I recognize this voice anywhere… F-I-N-N-I-C-K known to interrupt all the important stuffs.

"…First comes love, then comes…"

"Shut it Finny, let them enjoy" Annie elbows Finnick but when exactly did Finnick turn to Finny?

Madge had already pulled off staring at the ground and blushing. Katniss, Peeta, Cato who is holding Clove by her waist is shocked by First: Me and Madge kissing.

Second: Annie calling Finnick 'Finny'

"That was fast guys" Cato said pointing us and coming towards us. I already was getting embarrassed but Madge was boldly facing the situation

"Well, that's what girlfriends and boyfriends do. Right Gale?"she says and winks and I follow her suit.

I get up, go put a hand on her waist "Actually yeah Madge"

Then they ask us all the details and we say everything and Annie squeals in excitement as she loves romance

"Well now that you have heard our history, what was the finny that I heard?" Madge asked

Annie blushed and Finnick just smirked at her.

"A pet name you know. Finny."

"Sounds like a ninny" Clove said and we all started laughing.

"But whats wrong with Cato? Did he just jump over the moon?"

"Well actually he proposed me"

I stood there completely dumbstruck and Madge was looking as if she would faint any moment. They saw our confused faces and started laughing and explained everything.

Oh, two pairs one day great.
