It's been a month since I've seen Peeta. I've been crying myself to sleep every night. I miss my lover boy.

"Prim, how do I get him back?"

"Talk to him.." She says.

"He'll try to kill me!"

"Katniss, deep down inside, he loves you. He knows he does. He just doesn't want to admit it. I know he loves you, too."

I nod. "I'll try."

I go to the Capitol where they're keeping Peeta. I walk in and find Peeta holding a picture of me and repeating, "I love you." Over and over again.

"Peeta," I Whisper.

"Katniss.. I-"

I stop him by planting a kiss on his lips. He tries to pull away, but he finally gives in and kisses back. I slowly break the kiss.

"Everything's gonna be alright," I whisper.

"how?" He cries.

"We have each other," I link my arm with his.

"Katniss, will you stay with me tonight?" He asks, the most innocent look on his face.

"Yeah," I smile as we head up to the room he stays in.

We lay in bed and he wraps his arms around me. "Always," I whisper.

I feel like I won my Peeta back. Instead of asking him to stay, I'm the one saying always.
