Chapter Five

When my eyes flutter open to face the new day, I feel Peeta's warmth is still by my side. So he stayed here all night even though I didn't have any nightmares. The thought brings a smile to my face. I roll onto my side to fine his eyes already alert and wide awake. When they focus and mine, they brighten and he returns my grin. Wirelessly, he pulls my in until we're nose to nose, then presses his lips against mine. After our talk last night I don't even hesitate to return the kiss. That unexpected warth spreads through my entire body once again. We kiss for what seems like days, endless beautiful days.

When we finally pull apart, I'm too giddy to speak. It is Peeta that breaks our small silence.

"Katniss," he says. "what do you say about coming into town with me today?" I'm a little surprised by his words because honestly, all I expected was a simple 'good morning'. But his face holds an expression of genuine curiousity. He's not joking around.

"Well of course I'll go to town with you," I reply. It then occurs to me why he wants me to come to town with him today. He wants to go to the to his old home, the bakery.

Neither one of us has been to the bakery since our return home to Twelve. In fact, I 've barely been to town at all. I know that Peeta has been many times, but hasn't been to the bakery. I've heard from Greasy Sae that all the citizens who came from Thirteen to Twelve have returned to it's former glory, but it surely won't be the same. I know that Peeta isn't asking me to come just because of are acceptance of are feelings that we now have, he will need my support too.

We both get up from bed and Peeta fixes me breakfast downstairs while I shower. Greasy Sae never bothered to come this morning. As I step into my shower, I think something. Did she know that he would stay last night, and that we would want to be alone this morning? I'm not sure, but I think that much is true.

When both Peeta and I are dressed ready, we head out of Victor's Village and into town. He takes my hand in his squeezes it tight. The air is crisp and cool, a beautiful autumn day. When we approach one of the main roads, I'm aware that the miners have gotten nearly all bodies of the streets. Good, the last thing we will need today is a reminder of those who died in the bombing, because the list includes Peeta's entire family. Everywhere you look, you find construction. The rubble that once coated the ground has begun to transform into a pleasant town once again.

Until we reach the bakery.

Sorry it has taken me so long to write chapter six, I've been really busy and I also got my computer and cell taken away because I did bad on a Spanish quiz. Anyway, I am writing from my itouch now. Enjoy the chapter!

Chapter Six

When he sees the bakery, Peeta breaks away from me and steps towards it wordlessly. He seems to be in a some sort of state shock and his face holds an expression confusion.

I step forward tentatively, and give his shoulder a squeeze. "Peeta," I begin. He doesn't acknowledge me at all, his eyes are still focused on the freshly painted, new bakery. I rack my brains for something reassuring to say, but all I manage is a weak, "would you like to go in?" I should be ashamed, I am awful at saying the right the right thing. To m surprise though, Peeta doesn't refuse my offer. Instead he reaches for my hand again, and leads my in. Still, he hasn't said a word or even shifted his gaze from the bakery.

The inside of the bakery is nearly identical to it's former appearance other than a few boxes of things that still need to be unpacked. I wath Peeta carefully, waiting for him show some sort of emotion, anything at all. And he sure does.

He looks right into my eyes and speaks, but nothing can prepare me for what he says. "They're really gone, they're all gone." Yes Peeta they're all gone. Just like Prim, Finnick, Rue, Boggs, Madge, Maggs, and my father, I think. Instead, I just embrace him, and whisper the only thing I can think of.

"Yes Peeta, they are gone, but I am right here. And I will stay with you, always." He doesn't respond, but I don't let go. I know that he would do the same for me. We simply stay they clutching each other tighter than we ever have, and silently mourn the loss of his family.

well written and just what i was looking for!

This is really good. You've kept the first person singular. Your rhythm is very close to Suzanne Collins, *applauds*

In my own head,I don't see Peeta laying out the truth like that, before they make love the first time.

You've got Katniss down pat.

If *I* were to take over yur writing.....Believe me, I'm a neophyte about fanfic, but wanting to take over where someone else has left off is the highest fanfic praise I can give.

There's a mountain of possible fanfic in the reunion back in 12 of Katniss and Peeta. I think it would help if you put a situation out there between them, letting Peeta's silence or embracing be his answer. Or, if he does answer, it's short, to the point, and heavy with love.

Me and other buddies wrestle with how to give Peeta's point of view. Your "Peeta" declaration isn't wrong. I just think his heart comes out through his actions.

But I can certainly be wrong. It may be the time for direct talk about feelings between them. Even if her gut reaction is to run, or tune the words out. Katniss still has a problem baring her heart, but you've preserved that beautifully.

Keep writing, Katniss-Loves-Peeta. Please, keep writing. *hug!*
