Maybe, Always? (Everlark Fanfic)

Together at last?: Chapter 2

Chapter 2

I was astonished at the amount of people that had showed up for the wedding. The church was filled from the front to the back. It was exciting but I felt my anxiety kick in as the music started. I looked up at Peeta, he had this goofy smile on his face you could tell he was excited. He caught a glimpse of me looking at him.

"What's wrong?" He asked concern filling his voice.

"It's a lot of people Peeta I don't want to mess up." I asked looking for comfort in his icy blue eyes.

"I'm right here Katniss." He whispers as we begin to walk down the aisle.

Peeta practically drags me with him as we walk down he aisle. My mind was clouded by my anxiety and the amount of people watching me.  I just kept walking though, clutching Peeta's arm tightly scared of what might happen if I let go.  We get to the end of the aisle and we go to opposite sides, I get to mine and look for Peeta, who smiles at me reassuringly. The wedding march began to play and Effie began to walk down the aisle. She was the most beautiful bride I have ever seen in my life I thought to myself, she was breath taking. I begin to cry when I look at Haymitch whose eyes are filled with tears at the sight of Effie. I'm not much of a cryer neither is Haymitch, he must really be in love with her.

The ceremony is beautiful, and I can feel the tears running down my cheeks. I have never realized how perfect Effie and Haymitch are for each other until this moment.

"You may now kiss the bride!" the priest says happily.
The room fills with applause, I look to Peeta who has tears running down his cheeks. Effie and Haymitch are almost like a mother and father to me. I'm not really sure why but the way they look at both Peeta and I it just makes me feel loved. They proceed down the aisle hand in hand, both smiling bigger than the sun. Peeta and I follow them out, and congratulate them. They leave for their honeymoon after that.

"Hey, Katniss." I hear Peeta say. "Do you want me to walk you home?" He asks.

"Of course." I answer.

"I can't believe how happy they look together." Peeta says as we begin walking.

"Yea it was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen." I said

"Well not as beautiful as you." Peeta says with a smirk forming on his lips.
I look down and blush not really knowing what to say next. Our hands brush as we walk causing butterflies to erupt in my stomach.  It made me question if he got the butterflies too, if he wanted us to be us again.  We continue walking in silence until we get to my door.

"You can come in if you want." I say looking at Peeta my eyes pleading.

"I don't want to intrude--" he starts but I cut him off.

"Peeta please come in." I say.

He does as I say and follows me through our door. My house was messy but not a mess.  We took a seat on my couch and then Peeta breaks the silence.

"Are you hungry Katniss?" He asks.  "I can run over to my place and grab some cheese buns." He finishes.
My eyes perk up at the sound of cheese buns.

"How do you remember that cheese buns are my favorite?" I asked not to be rude but I was simply curious.

"I remember a lot about you." He starts.  "Like how you love hot chocolate and could drink 3 cups in one sitting. Or how your favorite color is green. Or how your happiest when it's just you and the woods. " He finished blushing and staring at his hands.

"Peeta I miss you." I say calmly, walking over to hug him.

We embrace and it felt like electricity was running through me.  He took my face in his strong warm hands and placed a gentle yet passionate kiss on my lips.  I felt like someone had let of fireworks at that moment, the same way I felt when we kissed in the Quarter Quell. We pulled away and I found myself looking in his bright blue eyes.  Those eyes that make my heart melt, that make the world stop spinning when they look into mine.  I felt his muscular arms wrap around my waist picking me up. He laid me on the couch and continued to kiss forcefully and passionately, I stopped him before we got to far.

"What are we doing?" I asked. "I don't understand what this is." I finished.

"Well what do you want it to be?" Peeta asked me his blue eyes staring into mine.

"I want it to be me and you like this everyday." I said blushing, but smiling up at the beautiful boy.

"Then it will be." He states.

"But Peeta what if--." I start.

"What if I go all mutt." He finishes my sentence.
We sit up on the couch, Peeta has his face in his hands. I rubbed his back soothingly.

"I'll calm you down--" I start.

"You won't be able to!" He says starting to be angry.

"Yes I will. The same way I calmed you down when we were running through the capital. I finished as fresh tears appeared in my eyes.
Peeta looked up at my tears streaming down his cheek. He smiles as he pulls me close.

"Do you want to stay the night?" I ask him, with pleading eyes.

"Maybe." He says.

"Always?"

"Always." He says and kisses my lips gently.
