The war is finally over..

Chapter 1 - He's back

(Katniss pov)

I slowly start to open my eyes as the sunlight barges in through the lightly coloured curtains. I don't feel like getting out of bed. Ever since the war ended and peeta disappeared I haven't wanted to do anything. I miss peeta so much, I never realised I loved him so much until finnick made me realise that it wasn't just an act, I always loved him truly. I also miss prim, a bomb killed her during one of the attacks and I haven't been the same since. I think my mother is still alive and working in the hospital in 4 but I haven't really kept in touch since she was never really the most important person to me.

Eventually I manage to pull myself out of bed, dragging myself downstairs so I can eat something. As I walk through the hall I notice someone in the garden, it looks to be a boy around my age, he's planting some sort of flower in the flower bed. I'm not sure who it is so I open the door and walk outside whilst still in my nightgown and barefoot. As I walk closer I realise who it is. I cover my mouth with my hands in shock. It's peeta. I run over to him and he turns around quickly as he hears me crunch on the leaves as I run. He has a large smile on his face and I notice I do too. Instantly he stands up and pulls me into a hug. For some reason I feel hesitant at first but his warm touch and his muscly but gentle arms feel soft around me and I hug him tightly. "You came back!!" I whisper in his ear as we are still in a tight hug. "I missed you more than anything, it's not the same without you," he mutters into my ear. As we break away from the hug I can't help but kiss his gorgeous lips. His lips are soft like butter and covered in a gentle warm touch. He passionately kisses me back until we stop to catch our breath.

"Do you want to come inside?" I ask him with a sweetly toned voice. He smiles again and accepts the offer almost immediately and we walk inside hand in hand. He tells me about how he stayed in 13 until he was better and as soon as he was, he came straight back to 12. I smile happily as he tells me about how much he missed me and I join in, but obviously not telling him that I missed myself, I instead tell him all about how much I missed him. The bed felt empty without him and I missed his embrace around me at night. We spend hours talking and it soon gets late. "I should probably go now but I can come see you tomorrow if you want," peeta smiles. "Alright... please do come back tomorrow, I've just missed you so much," I say with a slight frown on my face. Peeta stands up and starts to walk to the door but when I hear the door I open I shout his name, he turns around and asks me if I'm okay. "Will you stay with me tonight, I missed the nights with you," I say "I get much less nightmares," I tell him with a puppy eye look. He looks at me with that sweet expression he always gives me that I just missed so much. I missed everything about him and I cant believe he's back. "Of course," he says with a kind toned voice. I could just kiss him.. I realise I can and I run up to him and give him a passionate kiss and he happily kisses me back.

We kiss for a long time until we break apart and have to catch our breath again. We walk upstairs side by side but then peeta realises he doesn't have any fresh clothes, pyjamas or even a toothbrush. I tell him he should go to his house to grab some stuff while I hop in the shower quickly. He gives me a cheerful smile and quickly runs back down the stairs and out the door to his house 25ft from mines. I walk into my bedroom and then into the restroom that connects to my bedroom. I take off my nightgown, and laugh to myself about how I never got dressed after finding peeta in the garden. I also realise that other than the cheese buns that peeta brought I haven't eaten anything today. I consider going to get something now but instead undo my braid and continue to get into the shower.

Once I'm out the shower and dressed in a new nightgown I walk through to the bedroom to see peeta sitting on my bed with a basket of fruit. He clearly read my mind knowing that I wanted something to eat. I walk over to him and have a seat on the other side and smile, I can't stop smiling today. "You read my mind! I was considering getting something to eat before getting in the shower but I didn't," and I shove some grapes into my mouth. Peeta does that cute laugh that I love and his bright blue eyes glisten. Once we are finished he takes the basket and puts it downstairs whilst I get comfy in bed. After he arrives back upstairs he gets comfortable in the bed too and wraps his gentle but muscular arms around me making me feel warm, I give him one last long kiss before I close my eyes and drift off to sleep.
