(Katniss)

I'm sitting on the kitchen counter top talking to Peeta while he bakes dinner. Yes, baking. He makes some healthy kind of pizza and its very delicious. Peete's in his play room, obviously playing. When Levinia gets home, she seems very happy. I mean, she always is for the most part, but she seems happier. She has something behind her back. She examines the kitchen before finally walking in with a clear case. It has bows in it and a bag to hold it over the shoulder with.

"Hey, why're you so happy?" I ask. As she sets the arrows down on the island counter top.

"Because..." She takes a look a Peeta before speaking again. "Finn asked me to be his girlfriend!" Peeta turns to look at her showing no emotions, just his eyebrows raised.

"And you said....?" I say, waiting for her to finish the sentence

"Yes!" She exclaims. "I wouldn't say no." She proves.

"I'm happy for you guys." Peeta says while topping off the pizza dough that's already coated in tomato sauce. He picks his head up to give her a grin to show he truly is happy. I give her a bigger one to show I'm happy as well.

"So what's with the arrows?" I ask curiously.

"Dad told my you guys got him a bows for his birthday, so I thought I'd complete it with the arrows." She says, raising the arrows to show me. We hear footsteps stomping downstairs. Levinia lowers the case to her knees behind the island so Peete can't see them. When Peete isn't looking she rushes to her downstairs practice room with them. When she returns Peeta has just put the pizza in the oven.

"Mom, what are we gonna do tomorrow?" Peete asks. It's something we do every year on the kids birthdays. We check both of them out of school at around 12, before lunch. We go out to eat for a big lunch that will keep us full enough for late dinner, take them out and let them pick out a gift of their own, we head home for dessert and open the wrapped presents, and call it a day.

"What we usually do."

"Okay, I already know what gift I want to get myself!" He says excitedly.

"Mom can you check out my wrist?" Levinia says taking off her jacket and revealing the wrapped wrist. I remove the tape from her hand and inspect. It's swollen and practically purple.

"Oh my gosh, Levinia. You're just now telling us about this?" I question shocked.

"I didn't want you guys to freak and take me to the hospital or something."

"Well, were gonna have to." She grunts. "Levinia its for your own good."

"I know. I just don't wanna miss rehearsal." She pulls out her phone with her good hand. "I'll let coach know. But take me after dinner, I don't wanna miss dad's pizza." And she walks upstairs with the phone to her ear.

"Dad, what kind of cake are you making me?" Peete asks happily.

"It's a surprise. I never tell you kids that stuff." Peeta says, taking a seat at the table.

"Peete shrugs his shoulders and walks away. He knows nothing he says will squeeze it out of Peeta. I hop off the counter slowly and make my way to Peeta. I put my arms around his neck from behind and lean over a little to hid my face in his neck without a word. He puts his hands over mind that are over his chest. I start making patterns on his neck with my lips. After a while of this he pulls me by my hands to the side so he can scoot his chair out and stand. He turns to me and kisses me aggressively while cupping my face with his hands. I grip his back with my hands giving him as much aggression and love as he gives me. I feel his tongue begin to explore my mouth. I do the same with mine in his until they're both wrestling together. He moves his hand to my waist and pulls me close to him. We move ourselves backwards until we're both leaned up against a wall. He's about to hike me up around his waist when-
