Hunger Games Series - All Media Types+2
the way she tells me i'm hers (and she is mine)

Peeta is full aware that he sounds like something terrified. Something deranged, but Katniss nods firmly.“I believe you," She whispers. "I believe you. But it's all stopped. We're safe, sweetheart, I promise.”His voice cracks when he next speaks.“I can't go back to them again.”Katniss brings her head forward so her forehead rests against his, and all Peeta can think is that she can’t possibly be comfortable in that position; leaning up into his shaking frame with her hands still warm and steady against his jaw.“I will never let that happen.” Alternatively:In which Peeta Mellark doesn't want Katniss to see just how badly he's holding up until everything eventually comes crashing down on him. A sequel to "all the version of me dead (and buried in the yard outside)"
