midnight memories ♕ everlark

Two

Once again, the rain was pouring outside, banning Katniss and Peeta from doing anything productive. A lazy spell swooped over them as they laid in their bed for the day.

Katniss was closely pressed up against him, his arm draped over the small of her back as they closed their eyes and shared the same breath. They both loved moments like these.

He ran his calloused hands through soft hair as she rubbed his bare chest.

He immediately blurted out the nagging question that's been floating through both of their minds for months. "Do you want kids, Katniss?"

She stayed silent for a while until she came up with the best answer that wouldn't hurt his feelings. "I don't know."

"I was just thinking, you know. When do you want them?"

Again, she answered the same. "I don't know."

"I want them Katniss, but if you don't, it's fine," he sighed.

"You won't leave me, will you?" Her eyes suddenly widened when she thought of the worst.

His eyes bulged, too. "No, no! I love you Katniss, not matter what. Don't worry."

"Thank you," she said softly, nuzzling into his neck. He smiled.

After staying in their bed all day, they finally got up and did work around the house.

Peeta whistled a song happily as he took out the trash, and Katniss hummed to herself as she did the dishes.

"Let's put on some music," Peeta offered, walking to their iHome and scroller through the songs on his phone.

"Come As You Are" by Nirvana came on, echoing through the house. He turned it up and pulled Katniss close to him, dancing with her. She danced too, taking his hands and moving her feet swiftly backwards and forwards. They laughed jubilantly while Peeta twirled Katniss around.

"I love you," He said, poking her nose playfully.

"I love you too," she smiled, hugging him tightly.
