The hunger games; growing together

10-Valentiens day

I wake up and check the clock that sits on the bedside table beside me. '6:00am' it reads. I slowly creep out of bed, careful not to wake the sleeping Peeta next to me. I slowly walk down stairs to the kitchen where I will attempt to make breakfast for Peeta.

It's Valentine's Day today. I want to treat him.

As I am no master chef, I decided to make simple scrambled eggs on toast. Surely even I can't make this a disaster. It's the thought that counts. I put the bread in the toaster and while waiting for it to bake, I try to make the scrambled egg. Attempted number one and I drop the three eggs I have in my hand. Great start. Then I successfully crack them and whisk them. I start to smell burning from behind me and realise it's the toast!

"Sh*t" I murmur before chucking the toast (which is rock solid now) into the garden for the birds. If they can get their beaks through it that is. I add more bread to the toaster before running back to the eggs hoping they don't burn. That's when I hear the kitchen door open causing me to jump.

"Peeta! Get out!" I shout before physically pushing him out the door. He only came down in his boxers, very hard to resist. "Peeta go back to bed please!" I beg. I don't have time to argue unless I want to burn anything. Thankful Peeta just chuckles before I hear him trudge back up the stairs. I take everything off the heat and put the eggs on the toast. A little bit of tomato sauce and a cup of tea on the side. Bon appetit! He best enjoy this it was very stressful! Never again will I be cooking.

I bring up the breakfast to bed on a tray and place it on Peeta's lap who is wide awake now. "Happy Valentine's Day" I whisper. I smile and replies back "happy valentines day lover." I smile and gently smack his arm. Peeta takes a huge bite full of his food.

"You know, this actually tastes good!" He says. "Don't sound so surprised!"
"I'm surprised you didn't burn down the kitchen." I chuckle at this. "I actually very nearly did."

Peeta has been busy at the bakery from morning till afternoon, but now he says he has a special surprise in store for me. He kicked me out the house so he can set it up. After half hour of walking I decide it's time to return home. I'm too cold to stay outside any longer.

As soon as I open the front door I see a trail of red rose petals leading up the stairs. "Peeta what have you done?" I say with a giant grin. I take off my coat and shoes, hang them on the coat rack and follow the train; wondering where it leads. As I walk up the stairs, I soon realise the petals lead to our bedroom door, slightly ajar. I smirk.

I peak my head around the door to see Peeta sat on the bed with nothing but a bow tie around his neck. I instantly turn red and smile. Oh god. I greet him with a passionate kiss, rolling around on the bed. I come up for air. "I'll be back" I walk away, running my finger down his chest to tease him. I head to the bathroom where I take off all my layers. As I had a feeling that something like this might happen today, I dressed in my...special underwear.

I walk back across the landing and just stand in the doorway, then to the bed, and my boy with bread. Butterflies take over as we...well I'm sure you can guess...
