Always Together (After Mockingjay Story)

Chapter 6

(Peeta POV)

I wake up with the sun shining in my face. I look over to see that Katniss is still asleep. She looks so peaceful and I can't help but smile.She had a really bad dream over the night. I want to ask her what happened, but I don't want to upset her anymore. She said I died in it, but how and why?

I give her a kiss on her forehead carefully and hoping not to wake her. I want her to sleep considering what happened last night. But her eyes flutter open.

"Good morning," she says with a smile that melts my heart. I just laugh and get up. She follows me downstairs and I make pancakes. We sit down to eat and the question I had this morning is eating away at me.

"What happened in your nightmare yesterday?" I ask without thinking. She frowns and I immediately regret asking.

"Well.. Umm.." She starts uncomfortably.

"I'm sorry. It's okay if you don't want to tell me," I assure her.

"No, it's okay. Umm... well I was in a dark room and then I saw you with a knife through your heart. And.. and the people that killed you were Marvel's parents."

Marvel? The boy from District 1 in the 74th Hunger Games? I think back and remember Katniss killed him after he killed Rue. She must feel so bad.

"Oh Katniss, I'm sorry," I say.

"Don't worry about it Peeta. You didn't cause any of this and you shouldn't be apologizing."

"I know, but I feel so bad. I didn't know you had nightmares like that. I mean, I knew they we bad and upsetting, but not like that," I say with sympathy. I look into her eyes and see pain and sadness. I go over to her and wrap my arms around her and she does the same. "It's okay Katniss. You had to do what you did if you wanted to win and you didn't really have a choice. And Rue was such a sweet girl. And don't worry about me. I'm right here. Always," I whisper to her.

She holds me tighter and then pulls away. She leans in and we kiss. We kiss for a couple seconds that turn into a couple minutes. Just enjoying each other's company and the feel of the others lips on our own. I get up and push her against the wall, never losing contact. She moans as we continue. After a while, I pull away and look at her.

"Want to learn how to bake?" I ask with a smirk on my face. She laughs and tells me she would love to.

(Katniss POV)

Today Peeta is going to teach me how to bake. I've never done it before and I'm scared I'm going to mess it all up and make a fool out of myself. I know Peeta wouldn't care if I could bake or not so I shouldn't worry. Other than that, I'm really excited because I've always want to bake. He said it's easy and he makes it look easy so I probably wouldn't have a hard time.

We are sitting on the couch and he suddenly gets up.

"Let's go!" He says excitedly. He lends me his hand and I take it in mine.

We walk over to his house because he has all the ingredients. He got out two bowls- one for him and one for me. He also got out some ingredients and showed me how much of what to put in. I added too much yeast, but I didn't tell him. I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter anyway.

We mixed it together, adding in more things along the way. He then took it out and started to knead the bread. I tried to do the same, but I was too weak. It was too hard and stuck together so I couldn't do much.

He looked over at mine and did it himself. It was hard for him to do and he relieved what i did wrong, which made me embarrassed. He said that I added in too much yeast and it wouldn't turn out right. I guess it does make a difference.

"It's okay. We'll just go with it and see how it will turn out", he said. Peeta took the two bread and put it into the oven. We sat down at the table and waited for the oven to ding.

"You look like a white monster," I said to him. We had flour all over ourselves.

"Look who's talking," he teased.

"Hey I'm new at this so it's okay if I messed me up and got flour all over myself. You've been doing this your whole life and should have learned to keep yourself clean," I defend myself.

"Oh really?" He asks.

"Yup," I say popping the p.

I suddenly got an idea. I got up and walked over to the bag of flour and went behind Peeta. There wasn't much in it so it didn't matter if I dropped it. I tilted it over and the flour fell in him and went into the air.

"Hey!" He screamed. I laughed until my stomach hurt. He got up and wiped some on me. He pulled me closer to him when I tried to run away and now my hand was resting on his chest. His blue eyes were even more noticeable now with all the flour in his face. I leaned in, ready to kiss him, when the doorbell rang.

Peeta pulled away with an annoyed look on his face. He sighed and gave me a quick peck on my lips. He walked over to the door and I followed close behind him. He pulled the door open and my jaw dropped to the floor.
