I hope you'll like the next chapter of my fanfic. Disclaimer: please remember I do not own the hunger games or any character in it.
I wake up sobbing when I feel Peeta's arms pulling me closer. "Wanna talk about it?" He says quietly. "Not really, it's just the usual." The usual, Prim and Peeta burning in front of my eyes while I'm running to help them in what seems slow-motion. When I then finally look down, I see that I'm burning down too and that Prim and Peeta are already both dead.
We stay in bed, Peeta holding my in his arms and I listen to his heart beat. It always calms me down listening to it. It's one of the most beautiful sounds in the whole world. It's the sound of Peeta's life. He strokes my back with his hands. "I'm going to take a shower." I say but I don't move a finger and stay here with the one person I love most. I really think a shower would help me but I can't let Peeta all alone right now. He's probably feeling that I don't feel so good cause he's still rubbing my back and don't say a word. "Wanna join me?" It's not the very first time I take a shower with Peeta. "If you want me too." He answers still rubbing my back. I get out of bed and walks into the bathroom. I take of my jeans and t-shirt but keep on my underwear. I can see Peeta doing the same. I putt on the water and step into the shower and draw Peeta in it with me. I can feel the water slither down on my body. Peeta take me in his arms and we stay in it for a little while.
Once we get out of the shower Peeta is busy drying his artificial leg. I actually feel much better now. It's like a part of those bad feelings that are always inside of my left with the water. I walk into the room and take some clothes out of the wardrobe for Peeta and myself. I give to Peeta who puts them on in the bathroom while I get dressed in the bedroom. My skin is almost totally healed now and we can only see the scars of what happened. Peeta like to look at them as the symbol of us surviving, but when I look at them I can only think of everything we've lost. "Ready?" Peeta says from the bathroom. Knowing how shy I'm he asks before walking on a naked me. It actually happened once and I think Peeta enjoyed it, which when I think of it make me blush because I know he actually like what he sees. "Ready", I say and I see him coming out of the bathroom. I give him some quick kisses before he can actually say something. "Thank you…" That's the only thing I could say. "You're welcome", he says before kissing me again. "But I think I should thank you." Why the hell should he be thanking me? "Why are you thanking me?" "Well it's not like taking a shower with the most beautiful girl in the world is a hard thing to do you know." I can see a smile across his face and just cannot be mad at him; his smile is one of the things that I can feel are helping my heart beating every day. "Is the bread boy actually flirting with me? In that case.." And before I finish my sentence I push him back on the bed, spring on him carefully and start kissing him some passion.
It's probably noon now and where still in bed. When those lips are kissing mine its like time is something abstract that doesn't have any importance. But my stomach probably thought otherwise because it starts making some noise. "Seems like someone is hungry." He says and stops kissing me. "We probably have some more cheese buns in the kitchen." I actually was thinking about kissing him all day long and not leaving this room, but then my stomach started to make some noise again. "Let's get to the kitchen then." His gorgeous voice said. And he draws me to the kitchen.
I'm heading to the woods now with my bow and arrows. Dr Aurelius said that hunting was good for my and that I should at least do it twice a week. It hasn't rain last night so I can follow some animal's footsteps. I look like a rabbit steps. After a few minutes the rabbit appears behind a large tree. I wait till it moves a little but forward and loose my arrow. I take the now dead rabbit and put it in my bag. After a few squirrels and one more rabbit I find a strawberry bush. I think Peeta talked to me about wanting to make a strawberry pie so I take some strawberries and put them in a box.
After dropping the squirrels at Greasy Sae and trading the rabbit for some more pieces of fruit I walk back home. I walk into the victor village. I can see that Greasy Sae gave a visit to Haymitch because I see that some windows are open. That's a good thing, maybe the smell of liquor will leave the house now and Haymitch will breathe some fresh air. Peeta, Haymitch and I eat together 2 a week. Peeta and I do that because we don't want Haymitch to be always alone. And Haymitch, well I think he does it because he doesn't have any choice.
"I'm home!" I see Peeta sitting on the couch watching TV and walk in his direction. "I found something for you." I say after giving him a quick kiss. "O so I guess you did a good job in the woods today. So what do you brought back for my? Except your gorgeous self of course." I take the box full of strawberries out of my back and give it to him. "No way, you found me some strawberries! Katniss you're awesome! I love you so much right now!" he says jumping in the room. "I'll finally be able to make my dad's famous strawberry pie! I'll start baking it right away." And he's heading to the kitchen. It's probably 5 hours now and we normally eat at 6 o'clock so I have 1 hour to take a quick nap. A put my bow and arrows away and lay down on the couch, close my eyes and just listing to the sound of Peeta baking before falling asleep.
I wake up of my nap without even remembering the possible dream I had. I can't remember if I even had one and I'm perfectly happy of it. I head to the kitchen and I smell the scent of a newly baked pie. "Sleep well beautiful?" Peeta asks. "I couldn't say if you actually were having a nightmares since you weren't really moving, talking or crying so I thought I'd let you sleep for a little while." "Well actually, it was a good nap. Despite the fact that you weren't sleeping next to me. And may I just say that it smells incredibly good around here!" And I can tell you it was incredibly! "Well I guess that's a good thing because I didn't really have the time to cook us a decent meal. Would it be okay for you if we just eat the strawberry pie?" If it would be okay, of course it was! A year ago I couldn't even have smell it and surly couldn't have bought it! "Yesssssss!" I almost scream out. "We should bring a piece of it to Haymitch later." I say, not knowing if I will be capable of not eating all of it. "Good idea", he says as he put a piece of his delicious smelling pie in the fridge.
