Twisted Love (Peeta Mellark x fem! reader)

6

Katniss and I stand up as an announcement happens.

"Change of plans. There can be two victors if they are both from the same district" the announcer says as I look at Katniss.

"So is it just going to be you and me trying to win? " I ask Kat as she shakes her head.

"No. You and Peeta are gonna win. I know that I came in placement of Prim... But... If she sees this. If my mom sees this to. She must understand that our goal was to keep you alive, no matter what. And if that means you live and I die, so be it. Especially with you having feelings for Peeta... I would keep him alive. Just for you" Katniss says as I pull her into a hug.

"I love you Katniss. You are the bestest friend I have ever had" I say as she hugs back.

We start going again. Trying to find Peeta.

Seconds later my foot gets caught and I trip.

"Ow! Motherfucker! "

I hear a grunt underneath me as I noticed I'm on top of someone.

Katniss helps me up and I notice who it is immediately.

"Peeta!? "

We help him up and notice the wound on his leg.

"What happened!? " I ask concerned as we go to find a place.

"Cato. Cato happened. I... He just called me a weaker link and shot me in the leg" he says weakly as we find a cave.

We lower him down as I take a look at his leg.

"I have no chance at winning... " he says.

"Yes you do. If I kill everyone else we would both win"

"Even Katniss? " he asks as I look at her.

"I'd kill myself" she states as she gets leaves to cover his leg.

I shake my hand and I rip fabric from his already torn shirt.

I use that instead for the wound.

He winces in pain as I tie it on and he looks at me out of breath.

"I'm gonna die anyways" he says as I shake my head.

"No"

"Yes. I will"

There is an announcement about supplies and Katniss decides to go and get it. I give her a thumbs up as I stay with Peeta.

"Dying or not I want to tell you this" he says slowly sitting up.

"Tell me what? " I ask as I remember what he said on the talk show.

I blush a little at the thought.

"You know at the talk show. How I didn't specify if I liked you or Katniss"

"Um yea"

I feel nervous.

I wait for the 'it's Katniss' part as he smiles.

"Want the answer? "

"Uh... Sure? "

Not really. I'm dreading the denial of my feelings.

Or I was until his lips met mine.

My eyes widen, his closed, then I closed mine.

It was a sweet and long kiss.

He pulled away slowly and looked right into my eyes.

"Well? " he asks.

"I was hoping it was me. In all honesty I thought you were going to say Katniss"

"No not her"

"Why not though? "

"Cause I like you. Your smart. Fast. Good with weapons even if you don't know it. You know what to do in bad situations. You got a good heart. And I love that about you. I don't care about looks. Or about who is prettier than who. I care about you" he says as I turn a deep red.

"Oh" I manage to say as he smiles a little.

"Is that a good oh or a bad oh? "

"Good. Just realization of things. I like you too. Actually that's why Katniss wants to die. To let us win. Cause I always had a crush on you" I say. Even though the crush was more of just being in love with him.

"Wanna win together then? " he asks with a smile.

"Yea. I do Peeta" I say as his lips lock with mine.
