In Between

Chapter one

Ch1

Katniss POV
I woke up screaming. Peeta wrapped his arms around me. "Shh, it's ok. You're safe now, everything is fine." Peeta says calmly.
"Thank you." I whisper looking into his blue eyes. Feeling safe, I slowly give in and fall asleep.

I wake up the next morning in Peetas warm grasp. "Morning!" He exclaimed happily. We scooted out of bed and headed to the kitchen. It has been a year and a half since peeta has returned to 12. We both still have our nightmares, Peeta sometimes zones out from the hijacking. "Pancakes" asks Peeta. I nod.

We sit at the table and finish breakfast. We wash the dishes and sit on the couch, snuggling into each other. He wraps his arm around me tightly. "What do you want to watch?" he says. I shrug. I don't really care what we watch, just holding onto Peeta is fine with me.

After a few hours of watching tv I notice that Peeta has fallen into sleep. I smile cause he looks so calm and adorable when he sleeps. It's as if our past has never happened and he's always slept peacefully. I kiss his cheek making the left side of his mouth move up a little. I stroke his other cheek with my thumb attempting to wake him up peacefully as it's almost time for lunch and I'm hungry. His eyes open the tiniest bit before they become too heavy and closes them again. I kiss him on the lips this time making his eyes open with absolute pleasure. We smile at each other before he kisses my noes.

"What time is it?" He asks in his sleeping voice.
"Time for lunch!" I exclaim.
"What would you like madam?"
"Mmh, cheese buns with beef stew. Please." I ask with my most pleading eyes. He nods, shifting his body out of my grasp before standing up and heading to the kitchen. I get up myself following him. I watch as he takes the buns from last night off the top shelf of the fridge. Just him reaching his hands above his head shows of his muscles through his shirt. God how can someone look so good be doing such a simple task.

He serves the stew and buns in a bowl, handing it to me before making our way to the dinning table. After we've eaten we do the dishes, putting them away in the cupboard. For the rest of the afternoon we sit and talk until it is time for bed.
