The Story of Two

King and Lionheart

Katniss' POV
"Will you marry me?" Peeta says. I stare at him in shock. I'm very aware of the tears streaming down my face but at the moment I could care less. He wants to marry me. Why? There's nothing special about me, well except for the fact that I always seem to destroy everything. Every single cell in my body tells me to run, flee, get the hell out of here, do something! But I don't. I'm not running and I'm not going anywhere. My place is with Peeta. It always has been. But I can't seem to form the word that I want- no need. I've already been to quiet and Peeta's taking it as a bad sign. He lets go of my hand and slowly gets up. "Katniss it's ok. You don't have to say yes" his voice is filled with hurt and rejection. I hurt him. No. I'm not done just yet buddy. Before he can walk away I grab his wrist and pull him towards me. "Ka-" I cut him off by kissing him. Once he's gotten over his shock he kisses me back. I pull away to breathe. He looks at me like I'm crazy, which I quite possibly am. "Yes Peeta. Yes of course I'll marry you" I say with a smile that is threatening to split my face in half. "Yes?" he asks with the same smile. "Yes absolutely" I say then kiss him again. Although it's kinda hard to kiss someone when you're both smiling. "I should probably let you put on the ring ya?" he mumbles against my lips which causes me to chuckle. "Mmh probably" I say pulling away. He gets back down on one knee and slides the ring on my finger and stands back up but not before he kisses my hand like the gentleman he is. I look at the ring and gasp. "How did you find it?" I ask looking down at the pearl from the arena. It's a simple ring really, just a gold band with a silver holdster for the pearl. "Buttercup had it" he says like it's an obvious answer. "What?" "Ya I found him with it during Finnick and Annie's wedding. Of course at the time I had no idea what value it had to anyone at the time because my brain was still trying to decipher real and unreal... But it had this... pull to it like I couldn't let it go..." he says holding my hands so he could see it. I smile. "I love you" I say and I mean it with everything I am and ever will be. He smiles. "You have no idea how long I've been waiting for this day and for you to say those words.... I love you too" he says then kisses me.
Peeta's POV (Peeta Peeta Peeta Peeta Peeta Peeta Peeta BreadMan!-why I don't know...)

We walk back to our (My) house goofing around and laughing. When we get there I hold open the door for her and say "M'lady" and bow. She bows her head and laughs. "Why thank you my kind sir" she replies. "Anytime sweetheart" I say closing the door. She laughs again but it's cut short when she sees Haymich and Johanna sitting on the couch smirking at us. "Oh no.." Katniss mumbles. What surprises me the most is what Haymich says. "Did you say yes! She said yes right? Please tell me you said yes! Please! YES say yes. Say yes damn it." Haymich squeals like a little girl. "Whooa there buddy calm down" Johanna says placing a hand on Haymich's shoulder who is currently bouncing with excitement. "Sorry we got into a drinking competition at the Hob" she says nonchalantly. I still can't believe that they've gotten District 12 running again. I mean we have an actual hospital, running water, shopping, restaurants, bars and anything else the has everything the Capitol has. Although they left the Victor's Village alone because they wanted as an reminder of what happened and what will never happen again. Not to mention they rebuilt the Hob in all its glory. "So who won?" Katniss says curiously while taking a seat on the recliner. I sit on the recliner's arm and slowly move back until I'm the recliner and Katniss is practically on my lap. When I do this she glares at me but then turns her attention to Johanna and a very drunk Haymich. "Well actually I won but was only because I tricked him into drinking mine" Johanna says. "Pudding!" Haymich says happily out of nowhere. "Anyway so when it got to the point when I was losing I kept slipping him mine drink. Also I may or may not of slipped him some happy pills..." Johanna says. "What kind is it?" Katniss asks. "Oh you know you're normal 'happily insane loopy' pill. It just makes you happy and loopy that's all. And it's fine with alcohol I promise" Johanna says and Katniss relaxes a little at this. "I mean look at me! I'm fine!" Johanna says and Katniss tenses up again. "Oh relax sweetheart, did you say yes?" Haymich says giggling. Katniss glares at him. "Yes. Of course. Why in hell would I say no?" Katniss states. She grabs my hand that's not wrapped around her. While we talk I start drawing random patterns on her hand but I stop when Haymich brings up wedding plans. "God Haymich you sound like Effie" Katniss says jokingly. "Chop chop everyone! We have a schedule!" Haymich says poorly impersonating Effie. This causes Johanna to fall off the couch laughing. "Please never do that again" I say laughing but then the door bell rings.
Katniss' POV
Who could possibly be at our house this late at night? I think to myself. "I'll get it" I say still laughing at Johanna. When I open the door I almost fell over.

"Mom?"
