I Never Knew - Everlark FanFiction

Chapter 8 - Awkwardness

Katniss' POV:

Today's the day when I am left alone in the house for a night. I don't know how this is going to end.

"Kat? You sure you're going to be okay?" Annie asks me, raising an eyebrow.

"Definitely." And with that we say our goodbyes and they leave.

I plug in my earphones and start listening to my FAVOURITE song ever. Well actually there's a few, but they're all the the same person. I start by pressing on 'Once In A Lifetime' by One Direction an sing along as loud as I possibly could and doing dramatic motions with my hands.

Once in a lifetime, it's just right

We made no mistakes.

Not even a landslide, or riptide

Could take it all away.

Somehow it feels like nothing hqs changed,

Right now, my heart is beating the same,

Out loud.

Someone's calling my name

And it sounds like you.

When I close my eyes

All the stars align

And you are by my side

You are by my side.

Once in a lifetime, it's just right

That we are always safe.

Not even the badguys, in the dark night

Could take it all away.

Somehow it feels like nothing has changed

Right now, my heart is beating the same.

Out loud.

Someone's calling my name,

And it sounds like you.

When I close my eyes

All the stars align

And you are by my side

You are by my side.

You are by my side.

You are by my side.

You are by my side.

Once in a lifetime, you were mine.

(A/N Such a good song, I suggest you listen to it)

I listen to a few more songs and then decide to go to bed. So I strip off into my bra and pants, then put my dressing gown on without tying it up, no-one else is here so I don't have to worry about that. And I head downstairs to get some milk from the fridge.

While I'm walking to the kitchen I check my Instgram to see how many likes I got on my most recent picture. 72. Wow. I have 1.9k followers so that probably explains it.

I'm still looking at my screen when I stroll into the kitchen and I hear sizzling. I look up and see Peeta. I quickly do up my dressing gown and stand there awkwardly. He hasn't got a top on and oh my God he has a freaking six pack. Holy moly. Wait, Katniss stop thinking like that.

"Hey." I choke out.

Peeta's POV:

I just stand in the kitchen when the group have gone. I think they told Katniss that I was gonna be here so I don't go and speak to her or anything and she won't want to come and talk either.

I get out some pans and begin frying some eggs, because I'm hungry.

I also get quite hot because working over the stove is hot work, so I take my shirt off.

I hear a noise behind and see Katniss stood the quickly glancing up and she is in her bra and pants. She has got the hottest body I think I have ever seen. Wait what? What the hell am I saying? Stop thinking like that Peeta.

She quickly does her dressin gown up and says: "Hey."

"Oh, er. Hi, didn't see you there." I mutter back.

"I just came down to get some milk. I didn't realise you were staying here tonight."

"Well, er yeah. The group said it would be good for us to have some company, but I didn't think you'd wnt to speak to me." I say back, looking into her eyes.

"Look, Peeta. I don't like the tension between us. Can we sort this out please? I know you said you wouldn't want to but if we don't then it makes things harder for the group." She says, meaning every word.

"Sure." I say, going in for a friendly hug. She tenses at my touch at first, but then eases. This hug feels perfect. Like she's made to be in my arms. STOP IT PEETA. You don't like Katniss like that.

"Good" She says pulling away, "I'm off to bed now. Night!" She calls.

"Wait! What about your milk?" I say, remebering she came down for milk.

"That hug was enough to sleep on. A lot better than milk." She says, and then realsies what she said and looks down and blushes. I can feel my cheeks reddening too.

"Night then." I mumble back.

I decide then that it's time to sleep now so I head upstairs to the girls' spare room.

~1 hour later~

I am still awake thinking of how that hug was so special. I have never experienced this with any other girl before. And then a scream pulls me out of my train of thought.

I run down the hall as fast as I could without slipping and reach Katniss' room. I burst in and start shaking her and shouting, telling her to wake up.

She does, and I crouched over her, staring into her sparkling grey eyes. Of course! Her eyes were the beautiful ones I saw in my vision. I keep falling faster and faster for this girl. And even now my mind can't tell me to stop thinking like this. I'm a goner. I think I love her.

Katniss' POV:

I wake up from my nightmare, staring into Peeta's crystal-like blue eyes. They're perfect. He's perfect. I think. Oh my God. Do I love him/ Well, I fancy him at least. That's certain.

I flich quickly at the thought of loving somone who I thought I hated. He moves off me at that and his cheeks turn red after being over me for so long. I didn't mind though.

He gets up and off the bed and so do I.

"Thank you for that, Peeta." I whisper into the hug I pull him into.

"Anything for you." He whispers and I can almost hear the metal facepalm he's making. "I, er - I should go."

"Wait," I say as he pulls away, "Stay with me."

"Always." He whispers into my ear.

And I crawl into bed with him going in after me, and wrapping him strong arms around me. I breath in his sugary sweet and cinamon scent and let the darkness take over my body.

OMG Katniss and Peeta love each other.

K so I haven't updated for ages and I am EVERY sorry about that.

Cheers for 70 reads btw.
