I do, I need you. #wattys2016

District Eleven.

We wake up late, draped in a small blanket I found in her bag last night. Her bare chest is cuddled into my bare chest, I beam down at her happily and tears well in my eyes. She didn't have to do what she did last night, but she did. I love her so much, she's the best person in the world.

She stirs and I kiss her temple. "We should get dressed." Are her first words.

I nod in agreement and then we lay back down together. "Thank you Kaniss." I whisper into her soft brown hair.

"For what?" She asks innocently.

"You know what I'm talking about." I smile poking her sides. "Last night." I say.

"Oh, that was nothing." She shrugs. I feel the hurt show on my face and she sits up taking my face in her hands. "I'm just kidding. I love you Peeta. I wouldn't do that with just anyone." I nod and she kisses me.

"Do you think anyone heard? It's pretty quiet out here." I ask.

"We weren't loud." She counters.

"Maybe I wasn't, but you sounded like one of those blue whales we learned about in school."  I tease.

"I was not!" She defends.

I make an awful noise of a cross between a moan and a whale sound. "That's what you sounded like." I explain. "All night."

"Not all night." She pouts.

"For like most of the whole time." I say.

"Well you were dead silent. And you kept staring at me weirdly." She teases.

"Well that's because I love you and your beautiful." I counter kissing her forehead.

The brush shakes and Gale appears with his hand covering his eyes. "Everyone covered and PG13?" He asks loudly.

"We have been." Katniss laughs.

"Oh shut up, we heard you all the way over there." He points back to camp. She pulls her blanket off me and onto her face which is red as a beet.

"I told you that you sounded like a whale!" I pinch her sides. She squirms away from me and runs away hiding in the grass. I chuckle and look back to Gale. "Are we leaving?" I ask.

"Yeah, district eleven is two miles off. We need to hurry."

"Alright." I nod. "Katniss come on, you need to put your suit on." I yell towards the direction she ran in. Her head appears from the grass and she bounds her way happily to me. She jumps into my arms and we both fall because of my prosthetic leg, she kisses me without thinking and Gale fake gags.

"We're leaving in ten minuets. Be finished with whatever your doing there." He says before running back into the brush.

"You scared him away." I laugh.

"Whatever." She shrugs and stands. She removes her pants and shirt putting on her mockingjay suit. I can see the grief in her eyes as soon as it's on her. The boots she wears makes her a few inches taller then me, but without them we're the same height.

I gather our clothes and throw them into the backpack I'm wearing. I take her hand and she takes her bow and we start off back to the squad. Everyone's eyes stare at us as we walk towards them. "Quit your staring!" She yells. "Let's get a move on it!" Everyone laughs and then we start our trek to eleven.
