Peeta POV

As soon as Katniss leaves the window, I sprint upstairs to get changed. I grab a blue t-shirt and pull on some jeans, before sprinting back downstairs to start making Katniss' favourite meal: lamb stew.

I was just chopping up a lamb chop when Haymitch walks in.

'Hey boy. I came to see if you were alright.' Haymitch said, for once he was sober.

'Oh I'm fine thanks.' I realise I'm grinning as I think back to me and Katniss messing around earlier and how she was coming over soon.

'Why the smile?' Haymitch smirked at me, sitting down on the sofa.

'What? It's nothing?' I say very badly forging innocence; Haymitch squints at me suspiciously but I was saved when the doorbell rang: Katniss. I put down my chopping knife and went to answer the door.

When I opened it, I revealed Katniss standing in simple black trousers and an orange, floaty top. Her brown hair is fluttering around her face and her grey eyes look as perfect as ever.

I stutter for a second, unable to form words, but I eventually get out something that sounds like a greeting.

'Y-y-you look b-beautiful.' I splutter, Katniss then blushes (something I don't think I've ever seen her do) and mumbles something that I don't catch. I grin at her anyway and hold the door open for her to walk through. I follow her through to the kitchen and get back to my chopping while Katniss greets Haymitch.

'Hello Haymitch, I didn't realise this was a trio dinner.' Katniss says, in her usual, stubborn fashion.

'Oh, I'm not staying sweetheart, but at least I know now why the boy was smiling so much.' he winked very obviously at me before adding 'I'll be off then!' and with that, he strolled out of the house.

Katniss POV

The moment Haymitch said that my brain started working overdrive. What did he mean? Peeta smiles because of what? Did he mean me? Does Peeta smile because of me? I feel myself smiling at the thought of this... WAIT!

I'm doing the same thing! I'm smiling because of Peeta, and I hardly ever smile. I look up at Peeta who is still blushing pink from Haymitch's comment, jeez he's so cute when he blushes.

Oh, look, the little voice is back again.

Peeta looks up, he smiles at me when he realises I'm staring, I immediately break his gaze and look down again. When I hear Peeta turn around to get herbs for the stew, I glance up at him again, it's like I can't help it. It's then that I notice that he still has bubbles on the back of his head.

'Um, Peeta?' He turns around and looks at me, herbs still in his hands. 'You have bubbles on the back of your head.'

He immediately raises his hand to the back of his head, obviously forgetting his full hands causing the jars of herbs to drop to the floor and roll towards me. 'How the hell did they get there?!' Peeta asks me wiping the bubbles of on his jeans.

'My amazing aim, obviously!' I joke around.

'Thank God you weren't aiming at me with a bow and arrow then!' Peeta chuckles back.

I laugh as I pick up the jars and hand them to him.

The moment our hands touch, I feel the warmth that the pre-hijacked Peeta used to give me, used to comfort me with.

What's happening? Have I got my Boy with the Bread back?
