*previously*

I quickly dodge a ball. Suddenly, I hear Katniss.

"Peeta want a kiss!" she yells. I drop the ball I was holding and run up to her. With a smirk I go to lean in, when she whispers "got'cha". I raise my eyebrow in confusion. She quickly pulls out a ball from behind her back and taps me on the shoulder. I laugh.

"oh I am so getting payback later" I smirk before running off to the bench. A minute later, I walk off to use the bathroom. I walk into the mens room and do my business. As I run back into class, I notice a sudden sense of awkwardness, then a scream. I look over and see Katniss on the ground. No! I see one of Dellys minions fing a soft ball at Katniss. "No!" I yell and sprint over to her. Im too late. The ball contacts with her face and she lets out a cry in pain as blood gushes from her face. I run over as fast as I can. Scooping her up in my arms, I whisper "your going to be fine baby" and sprint off to the nurse. As I run, I can hear Johanna giving the girl who threw the ball quite a mouthful. I burst through the nurses room doors. "what happened?" the nurse asks. I explain everything as quick as I can.

"alright, I'm going to give her some pain killer. It may pull her under" She tells me as she sticks a needle into Katniss's arm. I notice right away that her once clenched fists loosen, and her face goes from scrunched up and in pain, to soft and calm. It makes me feel better knowing shes not in pain.

The nurse cleans the blood and runs some x-rays. I pace back and forth in the small, suddenly stuffy room.

"She has a broken nose" The nurse announces suddenly. I wince at her words. I'm going to kill Delly.

"She should be waking up in about an hour. I can give you a slip to go back to class late, or you can stay here" She says kindly. "I will stay please" I reply. I want to be the first person she sees when she wakes up.

The nurse gives me a nod in understanding "I will be in the next room if you need anything. when she wake up, you can go, she will be fine" she says before walking out. I pull up a chair and sit beside Katniss. Brushing a hair from her face, I admire her beauty. God I love this girl so much. I hold onto her hand and wait for her to wake up.

About an hour later, I notice her eyelids start to flutter.

"Katniss?" I say. Her eyes slowly open, revealing her amazing grey eyes. "Peeta" she croaks out.

"shh dont talk its ok" I say calmly and rub small circles on the palm of her hand with my thumb. "I will get you some water" I say and get up. I quickly pour her a glass of water and hand it to her. She quickly gulps it down.

"thank you" she smiles, but quickly frowns.

"does your nose hurt?" I ask.

she nods and goes to touch it, but winces and I can see the tears in her eyes. "shh baby its going to be fine. We will get you some painkillers" I say and pull her into my arms.

She snuggles into my chest. I kiss her forehead softly and soon she falls asleep. Not long after she falls asleep, I drift off as well.

I wake up about an hour and a half hours later. Katniss will be hungry when she wakes up, so I decide to go and quickly get her something to eat. I gently move her off my chest, carefull not to wake her, and slip out the door. I quickly drive to the nearest Starbucks and get her favorite, cheese buns and peppermint hot chocolate. I buy a muffin for myself and a coffee. I drive back to school and start walking back to the nurses office, carrying all the food.

Im about half way there when a sudden scream causes me to stop. Then I realize I know that scream. Katniss. I instantly sprint through the hall and into her room. I spill coffe and hot chocolate on myself because of the running, but I could care less. I need to make sure shes ok. I shake off the burning feeling and run into her room. I dump the food onto the side table. Shes having a nightmare. I quickly run to the other side of the bed.

"Katniss.. Baby, wake up, your alright" I coo, shaking her gently. Her eyes suddenly dart open, revealing red puffy water filled eyes, the grey eyes that I hate to see sad. "Peeta.." she whispers before bursting into tears. "shhh kitty im here..." I say and scoop her up into my arms.

"Nightmare?" I whisper into her hair. She nods and starts to hiccup. I kiss her forehead. "want to talk about it?"

"y-you and P-prim died and i-i c-couldn't stop it. I-it was all m-my fault" she sobs.

"Dont worry, it was all a dream, were OK... im here, forevermore" I whisper soothingly. She lifts her head off my chest and looks up at me with watery eyes "your covered in coffee" she say with a slight giggle. I laugh. I gently lift her off me. I take off my coffee stained shirt and toss it in my bag.

"I bought food, if you're hungry" I say with a sheepish smile.

"oooo yes please" she says with a smile.

I reach over and pass her her buns and hot chocolate.

"OOOO My favorite!" she says happily.

"Thanks Pillsbury Dough Boy" as soon as she says that we both erupt into a fit of laughter.

"Pillsbury? really?" I say between laughter.

"Yes really!" she laughs.

After our laughing fit ends, she pipes up "Do you think we can go home? this place reminds me of when my dad died" she says with a frown. She doesn't talk about her dad, and I dont push her to. I know its a sensitive topic for her.

"of course kitty cat" I say, giving her a nickname to. She laughs and I help her out of bed. The nurse said we could leave anytime, so I simply grab our bags and take Katniss's hand and walk out the door. its then that I realize that im still not wearing a shirt.

Its going to hopefully not be too cold out. It is January tho. Sense I dont have any other shirt, and the only one I currently have is covered in coffee, I shrug it off.

"You have no shirt!" Kat laughs, "someone might see!"

"nah, its not far to the car" I chuckle as we make our way to the school doors. "ready?" I ask, taking her hand in mine. She gives small nod.

"one" I count down.

"two" she says.

"Three!" we both yell, pushing through the doors. I laugh as we run to the car. As soon as we get there I open the door for her. She jumps in and I run to the other side. I slide in and start the car.

"cold?" I ask her. She nods "feel my hands" she says. I place my hands around hers. Thre like ice. I kiss the tips of each finger.

He places his hands on the steering wheel and we drive off. As soon as we get to my house, we sprint inside. We slam the door shut, blocking out the cold wind. Suddenly the phone rings.

I skip over and pick it up.

*phonecall*

Katniss: Hello?

prim: Katniss! its me Prim!

Katniss: Oh hey Primmy, whats up?

Prim: I just wanted to let you know that Rues mom said it was too cold for me to walk home, so im spending the night at Rues!

Katniss: Ok little duck, stay safe ok?

Prim: ok kat, I know

Katniss: Have fun ducky! call me tomorrow!

Prim: ok I will Katniss! Bye!

Katniss: bye!

*end of phonecall*

I click the phone off. "Prims spending the night at Rues" I tell peeta.

"what do you want to do?" i ask.

"oo I have an idea! it involves pillows and blankets!" he says with a wink. I instantly know what hes thinking.

"A FORT?!" I cheer

"YES!" He yells and we both laugh and run upstairs to my room to get everything we need. Peeta carries all the blankets and I grab all the pillows. We go into the living room in front of the small TV. don't get me wrong, its not that small, but its not like we have some huge flat screen TV.

We move two of the couches and put a blanket over them, so its like a roof, and the only opening is the one in front of the TV. Next we lay down all the pillows and throw all the blankets in it.

"Want hot chocolate?" I ask. "sure" he smiles. "I have cookies in my bag as well" he smiles and grabs his bag. "Ok, pick a movie while I go make it" I say. He nods and starts looking through Netflix. I skip off to the kitchen. After boiling the water, I scoop the powder into each mug and stirr it. I dig through the cupboards till I find mini marshmallows. I add those then spray some whip cream on the top. Not bad. I give myself an imagery high-five and go back to the fort. "here babe" I say and hand him his. He smiles and kisses me on the forehead. "thanks" he smiles.

"what movie did you pick?" I ask, diving into the pile of blankets.

"Titanic" he says. I cover my mouth, trying not to break into a fit of giggles.

"what?" he says. "nothing, I like it, very manly" I say and I that point I crack. I start uncontrollably giggling.

"would you rather The Decent?" he asks smugly. We both laugh. "no I wouldn't, that movie looks terrifying" I chuckle. "Your so cute" I smile and kiss his nose. He chuckles and presses play.

I cuddle into Peetas chest and he wraps both arms around me. I get teary eyed at the end of the movie, and I think Peeta did to, because his eyes went from bright blue to more of a dark blue. I didn't realize how long that movie was. It was getting dark outside, and its only then did we realize that it was a full on snow storm out there.

"Kat I should be getting home" he says, watching the snow pile up.

"ok but you better have a shirt or something, I dont want a Peeta Popsicle as my boyfriend" I say and chuckle. he laughs "yeah i do, remember I keep extra clothes here" he says.

"OH YEAH!" I say. We both stand up and walk to my room. Peeta pulls open his drawer and grabs a sweater. He goes to walk back downstairs, when I say,

"wait Pillsbury" I laugh. He chuckles and walks over to me. "yes" he says.

I fix the collar of his sweater so its straight. "What would I do without you" he grins. I laugh and he pulls me in for a bear hug.

"I love you Everdeen" he whispers.

"and I love you Bread boy" I say. He chuckles. We break apart and he takes my hand. We walk downstairs and to the front door.

"see you tomorrow baby" he says. I nod. We both lean in and my lips crash against his. I get a tingling feeling all throughout me. I love his kisses. I could kiss him all day. A sudden howl from the wind makes us jump apart. We both laugh. He gives me one last quick peck before opening the doors. As soon as he does, a huge gust of snow mixed with icey wind burst through the door, sending me flying to my butt. As soon as that happens, Peeta trys to get the door shut again, but its so windy, and tge snow is starting to pile inside now. How did all this happen so fast? The freezing cold air botes at my skin as I scramble back to my feet. I rush over and help Peeta push the door close again. We eventually get it closed.

"where did that come from!" I say.

"are tou alright?" Peeta asks worried.

I shrug "a little cold" I laugh. He pulls me into a hug. "I will go when the storm dies down" he says and I nod.

"in the meantime" he says with a smirk and grabs my hand. He pulls me back into the fort. Just as I think hes going to cuddle me, he starts tickling me.

"Peeta!" I shriek between laughter.

"s-stop!" I laugh trying to get out of his grasp. I somehow manage to tackle him so hes on his back. I sit on his chest an use my feet to pin down his hands.

"HAH!" I say, feeling very victorious. We both laugh.

"ok ok you got me, now can you let me go?" he smirks.

I pretend to think about it. "no I think you need to be punished. Tickling Katniss was naughty!" I say waving a finger in his face. We both laugh. After the laughing stops, I lean down so my face is inches from his. I kiss him nose, and trail my kisses along his face, planting little kisses everywhere. I stop just at the corner of his mouth. I smirk, then he realizes what im doing. "Katnissss" he whines. I just giggle and jump off him.

"oh im so getting payback" he smirks. But before he can do anything, I start laughing and run away. I dash up the stairs, and into the bathroom. I hide behind the shower curtain. "Katniss!!" I hear peeta call and his loud foot steps come into the bathroom. Everything is quite for one moment, then he quickly pulls back the curtain. he flings me over his shoulder. I laugh and pound his back with my fists. He is about to go out of the room, but I just manage to grab the shower nozzle. I slray him in the back of the head with it and laugh my head off.

"Katniss!" he yells. I can practically hear the smile in his voice.

He snatchs the water hose from me and sprays me back. I laugh and try to block the water with my hands. I sprint for the door and he drops the hose faucet thing. "Your not getting away that easily!" he laughs and slinks his arms around my waist.

"I still need to get payback" he whispers n my ear which sends shivers throughout me.

He carries me downstairs and throws me onto the couch. I try to wiggle away, but he doesn't let me. I feel his hot lips suddenly press against my neck. They trace up my neck and he nibbles at my ear. I let out a sudden moan which makes him smirk.

He kisses all up mhuge neck and on my face. Everywhere but my lips. I wrap my arms around him and pull him close as possible. Everywhere he kisses makes my skin feel like its on fire. Its an amazing feeling. And I never want it to stop. As if he read my mind, he pulls back. Why did he stop? He smirks at me and whispers "how does payback feel?" he smirks and sits up.

"peeeetaaa!" I whine.

"Katniiissss!" he says, mimicking my tone with a chuckle. I can tell even he didn't want to stop. I get up ad climb over to him so im sitting on his chest. I lean down and smash my lips to his. I run my fingers through his hair and his hands trace my sides. Peetas shirt comes off and I trace his hard abs with my fingers. I hear him let out a slight moan which makes me smile.

Suddenly, Peeta moves onto the TV remote, making it click on the TV. We both jump in surprise. We laugh and see the news is on.

"very bad snow storm outside. Its suggested that you stay inside at all times" we hear the news lady say. As if on cue, the lights start to flicker, then everything turns off. The light, tv, heat, and all power. "Great there goes the power" I say sadly. I stare into the blackness.

"Peeta?" I say. Sense theres no light, Its pitch black and I cant see anything.

"Im right here" he says from somewhere in the darkness. Suddenly I feel two arms wrap around my waist. I laugh.

"I cant see anything" I say and spin around to what I assume is me facing him.

"come on lets get some candles" I hear him say. He lets me go and im standing there evolved in darkness. "Peeta" I squeek. I hate darkness. It reminds me of my nightmares. Suddenly I feel him grab my hand and i sigh in relief.

"Come on baby" he says calmly which makes me feel batter. We walk to the kitchen.

"Im going to let go of you hand for a moment so I can light the candle ok?" he says. I nod even though he cant see me. "ok" I say. He drops my hand and I feel like im a million miles away from him. I go to take a step forward, and crash into the corner of something.

"oww!" I yell out in pain. I grab my side which is not throbbing.

"Katniss? what happened? are you ok?" I hear Peetas panicked voice.

"Y-yea, fine, just hit m-y hip" I say slightly out if breath.

"hang in there, let me just light this.." he says and suddenly a small light appears. I can now clearly see his bright blue eyes. He quickly places the candle down and rushes to my side. "are you ok?" he asks again. I chuckle a bit. "im fine" I say and give him a smile. He gives me a small nod. I can hear the wind howling outside.

"Is there anymore candles?" I ask. He gives his head a shake. "ok well may as well go back to the living room" I say.

"Well guess whos snowed in at your house" he says with a smirk. I laugh and take his hand. We go back to our fort. I use my cell to phone prim and make sure shes fine. She says she is and they lost power to. Peeta uses my phone to tell his dad where he is as well. After that I dive into the blankets. Peeta lies down beside me and wraps his arms around me, pulling me up against his chest. I smile happily. "goodnight Katniss, I love you" I hear him whisper and kiss the top of my head. "Love you to Pillsbury" I say before falling into a deep sleep in the comfort of my bread boys arms.
