Two hearts beats as one (Hunger Games fanfiction)

Chapter 23: I need to tell him!

Chapter 23

Peeta's P.O.V.

I feel sweat run down my forehead and I dry it with my handback, but I accidentally paint my face with b
rown paint.

I've now started on Katbniss hair.

Yeah, that's right. I paint Katniss. The most beautiful I could ever paint. Nothing is more beautiful to paint then my girlfriend, becasue she really is beautiful.

I think that I'm almost done. Just a few more touches with the brush.

"Fuck..." I mumble.

But I don't care really, this happens all the time, so I'm used to it, I always do this, not on prpose of course, but.... anyway, I'll just wash myself off later, I need to shower anyway.

But do I really need to finish this painting today? Hm... guess I can, I mean it's almost done anyway, just a few things left. But I want to see Katniss. I kind of miss her. I know that it's stupid, I mean, we're in the same house and everything, but still, it's a big house, it really is, and it feels like I want to tell her something.

But I guess I'll only have the painting as company for now.

Katniss P.O.V.

I need Peeta. I need him. I'm so upset over the call with my mother that I want to cry. But I won't, at least not until I have my Peeta.

"But he's painting", Glimmer says, she obviously doesn't want me to interrupt him.

"I don't ficking care Glimmer", I say. "Okay I love you and you're my cousin and I respect you, you know that, but I don't care, I want him now!"

I start to walk out of the livig room.

"Why is it som important to have Peeta when you have us all?" Marvel asks. "Peeta is just one person, we're so many more, and can comfort you as well".

I turn around.

"I don't think you need me to answer that question Marvel", I say. "I think you know exactly why I need and want him here right now".

I want to tell him. I feel like I have to right now. And I need to know how he feels as well. I really, really do. I don't know why I have started to think so much about this. But after I talked with mom, I feel like I don't want to hide things, especially not my feelings for Peeta. I need to tell him now. Right now.

"I sure do", Annie says and smiles.

"Yeah, me too", Finnick says.

"Well I don't know what you mean", Marvel says.

"God Marvel are you stupid or something?" Glimmer asks, than she whisperses something in his ear.

"Oh... Oh!" He says. "But tell him that than".

"I want to, but I don't know if he does", I say. "I don't know where we stand, and I need to know".

"We're not teenagers, so we don't keep up with your thoughts, so can you maybe fill us in?" My grandfather asks.

Marvel whisperes something in his ear.

"Oh", he says and then he smiles at me. "Tell the boy".

I think the others have started to understand what I mean.

"I want to, but again I don't know if he does", I say.

"Only one way to find out, right?" Finnick says.

I sigh. Yeah I guess so. But I'm scared, what if he doesn't?

I can't do this. I run away from everyone and up the stairs. I break through the door, and I see Peeta jump sky high in fear.

"I need to tell you something Peeta!" I say and walk straight up to him.

"What's wrong?" He asks and frowns.

I take a deep breath. When I'm right in front of him I just stare right into his eyes. He has paint on his forehead and cheek. Brown paint. But it's cute and he seem serious. I kind of like it, I think it makes him even more sexy.

Hey! Katniss, focus! You're here to tell him something!

"Peeta I feel like I need to tell you this, because I wanna know where we stand", I say.

Peeta frowns and put the brush away.

"No in that case, I want to tell you something", he says.

Wait what?

"What's wrong?" I ask, suddenly worried, is this the time he want's to break up with me?

I become scared and now I can't hold back my tears.

"No, why are you crying Katniss?" Peeta asks.

"Because ... because you're gonna ... you're gonna break up with me", I say. "Aren't you?"

"What?! No!" Peeta says, taking me in his arms. "No! Never Kat".

"You're not?" I ask, suddenly feeling stupid.

"No of course not, it's ... it's actually the opposite", he says.

"What do you mean?" I ask suspicious.

"I ... Katniss I ... Oh Katniss Everdeen, I love you", he says.

I continue to cry, but this time it's happy tears.

I look up at him.

"Oh Peeta, I love you", I say.

I crash my lips onto his, but than I break away because I hear sobs.

When I turn around I expect to see Glimmer and maybe Annie cry, but I was wrong. Finnick and Marvel are standing there, holding each other while cryiny against each others shoulders. Glimmer and Annie are standing behind looking at them with rised eyebrows.

Peeta clears his throat, causing Marvel and Finnick to look up.

"What? Didn't you hear yourselves? Katniss wanted to tell you that she loves you, and than you want to tell her something and she thinks that you want to break up with her, but really you want to tell her that you love her as well", Finnick says.

"Yeah, and than you tell her, and Katniss continues to cry, but this time out of happiness, it was just beautiful", Marvel says.

I put my hand to my mouth so I don't start to laugh.

"Here, come here boys, you need some water", grandmother says and starts to lead them both away from here.

Well, who knew those two liked these kind of things?
