Haymitch POV

I'm sitting beside only Annie in the hospital waiting room because since Katniss went to see Peeta, she hasn't come out. I don't know if this is because she crying over his dead body or because he's woken up and she's not letting him out of her sight. No-one has bothered to inform me or Annie.

When I can no longer stand just waiting, I decide to go up to Peeta's room to see for myself while Annie stays in the waiting room in case any doctors come down looking for us. I press the fourth floor button in the elevator and feel it jerk smoothly upwards and within 5 seconds the doors are opening, welcoming me to the intensive care unit.

I immediately go into Peeta's room and that's when I spot a couple wrapped together on the bed, so tightly holding each other that it looks like they are one. In short, it's obvious they're in love, and I don't want to interrupt.

'Sorry, I thought someone else was in here...' I apologise, backing out of the room. That's when the guy opens his blue eyes, and locks them into mine.

It's Peeta. Alive. And looking well.

I can't explain the relief that washes over me, pushing my feelings of tension and worry away; on further examination, I see that the girl is Katniss, clinging to Peeta like he's her whole life. Which, to her, he probably is. I've seen the grief she's been through these past days, having Peeta back is obviously going to make her so happy, the happiest she's been since her first Games started.

Peeta POV

Haymitch just studies me for a moment, and I can't even be bothered to try and work out what's going though his brain, I'm too happy. My head wound still dully aches but the warmth that Katniss is providing me makes it all okay; I could never feel hurt at all while she's in my embrace. I still have my arms laced around her waist and our legs our interlocked, it feels like it was just meant to be. It feels so natural.

'I can tell that you're feeling better boy!' Haymitch winks at me whilst he speaks causing me to blush because I know what he's referring too. He must have guessed that all my feelings for Katniss have returned, the old ones merging with the new ones I've acquired, and how I must feel on top of the world right now.

And I do.

He leaves shortly after, never one for soppy and emotional moments, obviously feeling better that he knows I'm alive again so not feeling the need to stay; and I'm not complaining. It means I get more time alone just to lay there and hold a still sleeping Katniss.

I'm still trying to get over what she said yesterday. She actually said she loved me. It actually came out of her mouth, and she meant it. Not face-to-face with me but she still admitted it... And that's so much more than I could have ever dreamed of. I wrap my arms even tighter around her, a smile spreading across my face but I feel like I can't smile wide enough to express how happy I feel right now.
