Katniss POV
It's two days since the victor interview and now, finally can Peeta and I take the train back to 12. Then it's just the victory tour in six months and after that I can be just with Peeta in twelve. My home.

Peeta, my gentleman helps me pack my stuff into a bag and in two hours the train goes to twelve.
"Is this yours?" Peeta asks and holds up a pair of pants.
"If not me? Who?" I ask him with a laugh and he laughs.
I go up to him and place a kiss on his lips. He gives me the hint of that he want something more but I shake my head.
"Not now." I say and he nods and places a kiss on my forehead.
"Why are you so romantic?" I ask him, and he smiles and looks at me.
"This is how I am." He laughs and kisses my cheek.

Two hours later
The train rolls in on the platform and Peeta walks in to the train with basically all of our luggage. He really wanted to carry it for me so I'll let him do it. Because why not?

When Peeta have put down the luggage in our cart I jump up on the bed and reach for the tv remote.
"Can you put on the baking channel?" Peeta asks.
I laugh.
"No, I decide today." I say and I can see how Peeta looks at me with a really cute death glare.
"Come over here and watch this with me instead." I say and pat on the space beside me. Peeta jumps up on the bed and I put my head on his chest and he holds an arm around me.

A couple of minutes late I drift away in sleep.

Peeta wakes me up when Effie's walked into our cart, saying the dinner is ready. I yawn and jump off the bed after Peeta. I run past him to the dining cart and sit down on the opposite side of where Effie sits. She looks terrible.
I can see the dark bags underneath her eyes, which she tried to cover up with heavy makeup but it didn't work. I understand her. I also miss Haymitch. I surely miss his insults.
Not because they were fun, but because I'm used to it. Now it feels so empty without the insults and his breath of heavy liquor.

Effie starts talking about something that I don't care about to listen to. I have some kind of reflex of when she starts talking so I'm just saying "Yeah" or "mhmm.." when she stops taking. I wake up when I feel Peeta's hand resting on my leg. I look up at him as he gives me a smirk and I just smile.

When Effie finally stops talking it becomes a awkward silence and I decide to walk back to our cart so I can avoid the awkward silence. Peeta follows with me and when we close the door he looks at me and smiles a very sweet smile. He reaches out for my hand and pulls me close to him and gives me a kiss at the top of my head. I stand up on my toes and kiss him and he kisses back as his hands finds to my waist. He pulls me closer, which I guess is the hint of that he wants more, and I press myself against him in a kind of way to show him that I want it too.

He searches with his hands to the edge of my t shirt and looks at me with asking eyes and I nod as he pulls off my shirt. I kiss him again and pulls of his shirt. He bends down and carries me up and I put my legs around his waist and he supports me by holding onto my hips.
He goes towards the bed and carefully puts me down on the bed and climbs in between my legs and helps me off with my pants.

In the middle of our make out session Effie walks in and squeals as she sees me in only underwear and Peeta without shirt making out on the bed. I squeal and does an attempt to cover myself up with the sheets.
"I'm sorry." She says and closes the door and I hear her heels walking fast away from the door.

Peeta sits up and runs a hand through his hair.
"Well that just fúcked up everything." He says and I laugh nervously as I cover myself up with the sheets.
"It's not like I haven't seen you in underwear before." He laughs and I look at him.
"Well, it's just that I feel awkward." I say and he nods.
"Wanna take a shower instead?" He asks and I nod my head.
