Life of the Mockingjays (Sequel to Panem High)

1 Year Anniversary

Katniss P.O.V

When we get outside the transport is waiting on us. We all climb in and head home. I think everyone is tired , especially Alex considering she's asleep in Ashton's arms. I smile at the sight of them.

It's so cute. I lay my head on Peetas shoulder and he adjusts us so his arm is around me. I smile and listen to the conversations going on around me. It's a struggle to keep my eyes open the full way but somehow I manage it.

As soon as we get home we all go to bed. I take my dress off and quickly take my makeup off before grabbing one of Peetas shirts and climbing into bed with him. "Thanks for a great night" I say tiredly and he chuckles. "Katniss , we are going out tomorrow because it is our anniversary." He says and I act dumb. "I don't remember being asked" I say pretending to think. He rolls his eyes at me and smirks. "Okay , Katniss will you do the honour of coming on a date for our 1 year anniversary tomorrow" he says and I smile. "Yes" I say and kiss him. "Now let's get to sleep because I am tired" I say and snuggle into him. He strokes my hair and soon I find myself becoming sleepy and my eyes get heavy. "Love you" I whisper before falling asleep.

Katniss P.O.V

I wake up to Peeta shaking me. I groan and open my eyes to see his smiling face in front of me. I smile back. "Happy 1 year anniversary , love you" he says kissing me. "Happy anniversary to you too" I say smiling. He pecks my lips again. "We are going out at 2 and wear something casual" he says winking before climbing off the bed. "Okay I need to go out and get you something because I didn't get the chance to" I say. "I don't need anything" he says and I shake my head. "You're getting something and you have no choice" I tell him laughing. "Fine" he huffs and heads to the shower. I quickly pull on a pair of denim shorts and grab a random t-shirt and by random I mean Peetas. I pull it over my head and tie my hair up in a messy bun before getting washed. When I'm ready I stick my toms on and head downstairs grabbing my purse and keys on the way. "Bye Peeta!" I shout on my way out. I hop in the car and start to drive towards the mall. I sing along to the radio all the way their and just as I'm about to go out the car my favourite song comes on. Typical. I pout and turn it off before hopping out the car and walking toward are shops. I don't even know what to get him.

Peeta P.O.V

Me and Finnick are setting up for my date with Katniss. I'm going to surprise her. I hope she'll like it. I just left Finnick to finish up while I go and get her a present. I already bought it. I got her a dog. It's a Dwarf Australian Sheperd Dog so it won't grow big. It's just a pup and I know Katniss loves them. I also made up a disk of photos since we first met and made a sideshow of them and lastly I got her a necklace with a P and a K charm on it. I really hope she likes the present.

Katniss P.O.V

I am walking through all the shops trying to figure out what to get him. It has to be special because it's our 1 year anniversary. This is harder than I thought. I sigh and stop outside a shop. It's called Bits 'n' pieces. I raise and eyebrow and walk through the door. It has cute little gifts and ornaments all over the place but one bit catches my eye. It's leather bracelets that you can get engraved. I walk up to it and pick a bracelet and then go to the boy at the counter. Can you engrave this for me?" I ask and he nods. "What do you want it to say?" He asks politely. "Uh can you just write P+K on it" I say blushing slightly. He smiles and nods before bringing it to a machine thing and types in what I want engraved and presses a few buttons. "Boyfriend?" He asks me and I nod blushing more. "Do you have any idea what to get him, I mean has your girlfriend ever gotten you anything?" I ask him and he blushes this time. "I don't have a girlfriend" he says emphasising the girlfriend part. I mentally curse myself. "Boyfriend?" I ask and he nods and looks down. "Yeah well he got me a personalised message in a bottle" he says and I smile. Yeah , I don't have anything against gay people. They didn't ask to be that way and they don't control their feelings. They are just the same as everyone else in my eyes. "Awe that's so sweet" I say. "It's just an idea you don't have to use it" he says. "I think you just made my day ten times easier" I say smiling. He just laughs. "You are like the only person I've met who isn't disgusted by that" he say sadly. "What about your family?" I ask him and he sighs heavily. "Uh they disowned me and won't let me visit" he says. "They kicked me out as soon as I told them and I was confused at the time and didn't really understand it myself but I had to get a job and an apartment" he says sadly. "Oh my gosh" I say. "I suppose I should have seen it coming though" he says and smiles a little. "I mean you can't control how you feel" I say and he nods. "Exactly. People have this thing where they think we are diseased" he says. "They are so stereotypical" he states and I nod. "I agree" I say. "Your bracelets done" he tells me and takes it from under the machine. He brings it to the cash register and wraps it up. "That will be $6" he says and puts the receipt in the bag. I hand him $20. "Keep the change. Consider it a thank you" I say and take my bag. "Thank you" he says. "Be proud of who you are and I hope you and your boyfriend are very happy" I say smiling and he smiles widely. "Thanks , you too" he says as I walk out the shop. Okay so message in a bottle.
