Our Life After

The Proposal

LET ME MENTION BEFOREHAND THAT, NO, NOT EVERYTHING IN THIS FANFIC IS COMPLETELY ACCURATE WITH THE BOOK BY I THINK THAT'S OKAY SINCE THIS IS MY OUTLOOK SO I HOPE YOU ENJOY :)

*Katniss's POV*

I wake up and toss my arm to the side and find Peeta' s body missing. I sort of panic until the smell of fresh bread and cinnamon waft in from the kitchen. It must be a special day if he's making a special breakfast. I get our of bed and walk to the bathroom to my disgusting appearance and brush my hair and teeth an then slip into some jeans and a pink sweater. I wander into the kitchen to find Peeta has prepared scrambled eggs, french toast, pancakes, and cinnamon rolls. I have to hold myself back from lunging at the table.

"Good Morning, my love", Peeta says.

"Good Morning", I say and give him a big ol' kiss. "Why the smorgasbord of deliciousness for breakfast?"

"Today is a big, big, big day!", he says, mimicking the Effie we knew so long ago. Effie has changed a lot since the rebellion, but still not what I would call normal.

"And why is that?" I ask.

"You'll see", he answers mysteriously.

After I've eaten until no more fits, Peeta takes me for a long walk in the woods. We have small conversations until we reached our destination. When we stop at the lake in the woods, my eyes fill with tears. This place used to be special to me, the place my dad used to bring me. I haven't been here in years and it just brings me to tears.

Peeta stops and takes a deep breath, and I'm just silent. I don't know why he brought me here, but it better be important or I'll kill him. He knows how important this place is to me. He starts to talk.

"Katniss Rose Everdeen, I have loved you since I first saw you. I don't think I'll ever be able to stop loving you. I don't want you to ever forget how much I love you. I don't care what happened in our past, I won't ever let it get in the way of our love. Katniss, if you lived to be 100 years old, I would want to live 100 years minus 1 day so I didn't have to live a day without you.

Here, my eyes filling with more tears every word that comes out of his mouth, he gets down on one knee and looks at me with those piercing blue eyes that I can't help but love.

"Katniss I want everyone to know how much I love you. I don't want there to ever be a question about it. I love you. Katniss Rose Everdeen, will you marry me?"

I just looked at him for about a second before bursting into crying and laughter and managing to say, "Yes, Peeta Mellark. I will marry you. I will I will I will."

And I hugged him so hard and he started planting little kisses on my neck and working his way slowly to my mouth. When he got there, I kissed him. I kissed him hard and didn't stop. He picked me up and I wrapped my legs around him, knowing his strong arms wouldn't drop me. And at that moment, I knew what Peeta meant all those years ago (okay, it was only like 3 or 4, but still) on the roof of the training center. Because I really wanted to freeze that moment and live in it forever.
