Story 3
I wake hungry. My stomach growling, shouting at me for food. I gently arrest myself from Peeta, and get two pears, and two bowls of oatmeal ready. When Peeta wakes up, I come over, and gently carress his face. His scars running up and down his face, make him seem more vicious than he is. “Hey Lover Boy. Rise and Shine.”
He yawns, stretches, and gets up to sit at the table where the oatmeal and pears waits for us.
His is cooled down significantly. Once we got him back from the Capitol, nobody could get him to take anything warm. They said it triggered him. Its followed him ever since. I sit in the chair next to him and we eat in silence, occasionally nugding eachother or me moving his hair.
“What do you want to do today?” I ask.
" I dont know." He responds
“We can go outside, or we can go visit somebody.” I say.
“I wanna visit somebody.” He says matter of factly.
“Who?” I ask.
“Dunno” he says defeatedly
“Well, we have endless places to go, Peeta.” I say, irritated. He leaves the desicion making up to me, but sometimes, I need him to make choices.
“Umm,” he taps his finger on his juggling knee. He stands up abruptly. “Lets go to the lake!” The smile on his face makes me happy, so I agree.
I grab two towels, a bag of fruit and bread, and my bow and arrows.
We walk to the lake and he takes his artificial leg off. We both take off our shoes, socks, and shirts. I get in the water and my undertunic gets wet instantly. Once Peeta finishes taking his leg off, he comes into the water and water hops towards me. The water is high enough to where he doesnt need to worry about falling. I waterhop towards him and he wraps his arms around me. I breathe his scent in. He breathes in so deeply I wonder if he breathed a bug in. Then im submerged in water! I look at Peeta and he is still holding me safe. He looks at me with a smile on his face. I realize, hes messing with me! Hes submerging us underwater, and i realize, I am okay with that. We reach the surface again and i kiss him, holding his head in my hands.
“What was that for?” He says with a grin.
“Because I love you!” I sing back. Then, as fast as i can, i run away from him while laughing. He swim/runs to catch up to me and then we’re both on the bank, laughing. He sits up, hands around my waist, me on his lap. I look at him and say: “im hungry.” “Well then, help me up so i can get the gamebag.” He says ruefully.
“No, ill get it.” I say, giving him a kiss on the cheek. So i get up, walk over to the gamebag, grab that, and i grab our towels and Peetas leg too. I walk back over and i see he’s brought out a handfull of dried herbs and berries. He holds them out to me and the berries are the same shade as nightlocke. I close my eyes, breathe in, out, in, out. My name is Katniss Everdeen, i am 20 years old, I live with my husband Peeta, and we just got out of the lake. I open my eyes and Peetas looking at me with concerned eyes. He cant get up, but i can tell he wants to. I make my way over to him and i sit down infront if him. I put the berries down, and hug him. But before i know it, im crying. And its such a strange turn of events that all Peeta can do is hold me. When i stop crying, he holds me by the waist, and puts his forehead against mine. “What happened?” He asks me.
“I saw the berries and i thought of you finding nightlocke for the first time.” My bottom lip quivers ever so slightly.
“You know i would never scare you like that. I learned my lesson.” He says, i can feel his slight smile in my hair.
“I know you did” I say, burying my head in his chest.
Peeta puts his mouth close to my ear. “You still hungry?”
