I do, I need you. #wattys2016

Just a kiss on the rocks.

Katniss's POV:

Gale and I are sat up on a large rock overlooking everything. Like at our spot. We aren't really hunting, we're doing more talking than anything. But it's nice trying to be like we used to; just two best friends.

"The view is awesome." Gale whispers breaking me from my thoughts.

"I know.."

"You want to know what's even more awesome?" He whispers in a even quieter tone.

"What?" I reply.

"You.." And just as I look at him in confusion his strong hands wrap around my chin bringing me close. He kisses me once. "I know we're hopeless" another kiss. "I know we'll never happen, but I just want to give you-" another kiss. "Another chance, something to think about." He pecks my lips once more and finally inclines our foreheads.

"Gale I-" I say breathlessly.

"I know Katniss ... Peeta.."

"I'm sorry." I'm somehow able to get out of his hold. I stand looking at his sad eyes, when my cuff beeps I jump glad for an excuse to leave. "We're needed in command."

He nods sadly and stands starting towards the path. As we walk I have plenty of time to think, it's a two mile walk.

When I kiss Peeta, I feel something burn in my stomach. And then suddenly I need all of him. His lips are soft, hands are gentle, eyes kind, and words sweet. Gales lips are rougher then expected, his hands are chapped and hard. His eyes always show sadness around me, and as hard as he tries to talk sweet; it never seems to work on me.

Peeta is the obvious choice I know, but right now I have bigger problems. And that's leading this rebellion; and most importantly nod killing snow.

Peeta's POV;

I walked to command after dropping Katniss off with Gale. I know I sound protective but I wanted to make sure she was alright. I knock on Coins door and make my way inside quickly. "Hello, how may I help you Peeta?"

"I'm gonna cut right to the chase and say I want to marry Katniss."

"Marry Katniss?" She repeats with a tone of laugher in her voice.

"Yes."

"In this environment? Isn't this a wrong time to do it?"

"Not if we're both gonna die in this rebellion." I retort. She looks down towards her papers and hands me one.

"Fine Mellark, you have ten days to propse, if not within that time frame your request will be terminated. Is that clear?"

"Yes." I take the paper and hurry to lunch. I find Johanna and sit down next to her. "Hey Johanna."

"Hi." She replies.  "What's that?" She asks her moth full of a gray mush.

"Can you keep a secret?" I ask, that catches her attention, She nods. "Marriage papers."

Her eyes get huge. "You proposed to brainless?"

"She's not brainless." I note. "But no, I didn't I'm planing to."

"Why here? Why not wait till you get back to district twelve."

"Do you honestly think we'll even get back?"

"Be optimistic Peeta." She nudges me there's a calm silence. "But I'm proud of yah bread boy. when I watched your first games; I thought it was just an act, on her part at least. But when we reached the second games, and you almost died. You can't fake the emotions she had that day. It was that day when I realized it wasn't an act for either of you anymore. As much as she hated to admit it then, she loved you."
