Real or not real?

[22] The Things I Do For You

Katniss' POV
_____________
I wake up to Peeta's finger tapping me on the shoulder.

"Guess what day it is!!??" He asks me quite excitedly. I honestly don't remember.

"Um, what?" I ask confused.

"You don't know what day it is?" He questioned.

"No tell me!!" I insist.

"Hellooo! We leave for our honeymoon!" You can tell he's exited just by looking at his face.

"Oh my god Peeta I forgot about that! This is gonna be amazing!" I pause and start puzzling, "wait where are we going?"

"That's a surprise, Everdeen."  He says and scoops me up into his arms bridal style.I smile.

"Mellark," I correct him.

"Right," he smirks.

I could never be any happier in my life. I know I've always had something deep down inside for Gale, but not romantically. Gale could never give me what Peeta did. I hug Peeta and he kisses me on the back of my head.

"I love you!" Peeta says.

"Hmmmm, I'll have to think about that," I joke and smirk.

"Hey!" He knows I'm joking and throws me on the bed.

"Peeta! How could you!"

"How could I, hm" he starts laughing and tickles me.

"No! Stop!" I scream. I can't stop laughing. He knows that always gets me.

"Not until you say you love me...."

"I love you! I love you! Please stop now!!" I giggle after he stops.

"Mm, should I believe that? Wasn't very convincing..."

"Oh, the things I do for you," I says and pull him in for a kiss. After a bit he looks at me and pulls away.

"That's better," he smirks. "One more?" He pleads with puppy eyes.

"Why not?" I smile and kiss him once again for a while. I can feel him smiling on top of my lips. "Hey, we should get ready. I don't know what time we have to board the train, but I don't want to have to rush." I look into his sparkling blue eyes that look like they still haven't had enough.

He sighs, "okayyy." He looks over at me and gives me the puppy eyes again with the sad face.

"Later! I promise!!" I say walking into the bathroom leaving him sitting on the bed. "Love you!"

"You're the best person alive, Katniss, remember that." He yells to me. I dress casual with some black leggings and a peach colored tank top. I mean, who cares if it's October, I could live in summer forever.

I put on a bit of lipstick that matches my top. Not very showy, but a more natural peachy skin color.

I look into the mirror and neatly braid my hair down my back, only to look closer into the mirror and see Peeta standing  in the doorway staring at me. I turn around, "You look gorgeous." He smiles.

"Don't lie!" I reply.

"I would never lie to you, you know that!"

"I know,"

"Hey lets go talk to Prim and then we still have plenty of time to go outside or something."

"Okay. I need to tell her about everything." I agree.
______________
Peeta and I know on Prim's door. "Prim! It's us." We say.

She opens the door and I find her dressed beautifully, flowers in her braided hair and everything. "Oh my god Prim you look beautiful!"

"Thanks Katniss, but don't lie." She chuckles.

"Ah, no wonder you two are related." Peeta chimes in. We all laugh.

"So Prim, you basically know the plan, right?" I say, "Peeta and I leave for our honeymoon today, and we'll be gone for a week. We can trust you here alone but Haymitch and/or Effie will be in to check on you every so often. If you need them you know they're right next door, and they'd be happy to help." I say.

"Yep." She says.

"Okay feel free to just do whatever you want." Peeta says.

"Got it." She smiled. "I'm proud of you guys."

"Aw, Prim. Thank you." I say and touch her shoulder. "I'm proud of you, too." I start to tear up.

I grab my bow and arrows and open up the front door. "Peeta! I'm going out with my bow. I'll be back later!" I yell to him wherever he was in the house.

"Wait! I wanna come!" He yells back running down the stairs. That's unusual. He's never wanted to come with me before.

"Okay!" I lace up my hunting boots and step onto the porch. Beautiful sunny day. Love it.

Peeta comes out the door and follows me silently through the woods. He finally speaks up a few minutes through, "you know Katniss ever since I  first saw you shoot I've admired it." He looks over at me and smiles.

"Thanks," I say as I sit on the log I used to store my bow in. "Ugh I haven't been out here in so long."
I stand up and find a torn up paper target on a tree Gale and I must've put up a while ago. I aim at it and shoot right at the bullseye, getting it literally right on the center as Peeta just stares in admiration.

"You should teach me," he smirks.

"Me?"

"You're the only other person here right now, yes you!"

"How am I supposed to do that?"

"Just teach me how to shoot!!" He says anxiously.

"Okay," I say. I carefully place his left hand on the bow, and right on the end of the arrow. I place my hands on top of his and load the bow. "Now try to aim straight for the center of that red circle in the middle." I say.

"I think I have it good," he says after steadily attempting to aim for the bullseye.

"Okay now, when I say go we let go of the arrow, not the bow!"  My hands are still on top of his. "Go!" I say and we both let go of the arrow and fall on top of each other on the ground, cracking up.

We both kiss for a while , reminding me of the victory tour interview, but now it's real. I pull up and look into his sparkling eyes, I just laugh and kiss him for a long time again.
