If they Cancelled the Quarter Quell

Back from the Capitol

Katniss's POV  

I step off the Capitol train and feel the coal dust rush into my lungs, but I can't be distracted from seeing all the people lined up waiting to see me and Peeta back home. 

It's been mad us ever since the games ended. We have been forced to hug and kiss around each camera but don't talk when there is no one around. I see Prim high above all of the rest of District 12, for she is perched upright on Gales shoulders, waving. Me and Peeta were asked to be interviewed again  back in the town square. I don't want to, I just need to be home and back to normal, but we have no choice. 

"Will you and Peeta be living together soon?" the reporter says.

 I glance at Peeta, and he gives a small wink, I smile and go back to the reporter. " No, I don't think our parents would allow that," I say, giggling. "Well, about your mother not being so happy about you dating, what are you going to do about it?".

 I pause and wonder if my mother and Prim are behind me now.

"Well, I'm sure we will figure it out." he grabs my hand and holds tight. It makes me sure that everything will be alright and we are home and safe.

  When we get to our new homes in the Victor's Village, Peeta leaves to his new house across the street "I guess I will see you later then," he says with neutrality, "Yes... I guess I should start unpacking. " I gently place a kiss on his forehead and walk into my new home. Realizing that Peetas family hasn't joined him, and probably won't.

Thankfully, Mother and Prim brought all my things from our old home and placed them in my room so I could put them wherever I wanted. After packing, my mother had set out a large dinner on the table, "Would you like to invite Peeta over after dinner, Katniss?" my mother said after my last gulp of stew. This was rather unusual for her, especially since we're all still amazed I'm still alive.

"Why?" Prim asked from across the table, "Well, I have some discussion to have with your sister and him, " My mother responded."Alright," I sighed. I get my boots and dads hunting jacket for the quick travel across the street, I see Peeta come to the window and disappear to open the door, "Hey Katniss, what are you doing here" he says, guiding me in, "My mother was wondering if you could come over around 8:30" I sat down on a velvet chair, "Of course. What for?" he takes a seat in front of me 

"Well... my mother said after Prim goes to bed she needs to talk with us in private," I told him."Oh...ok, would you like me to come over now?" he looked worried like he had done something wrong, "Sure," I say happily, so maybe he wouldn't be so nervous.

 I get my things back on and walk back to my new home, "Oh, you're here early, that's alright." My mother is still cheerful that I'm home, I guess. "Prim, to bed early tonight, tomorrow is a big day. and Peeta make yourself comfortable. " 

Peeta's POV

Katniss came over and told me that her mom needed to speak to us. It made me worry that I might not be allowed to see her anymore. "Well, now that we are alone, I need to talk to you about something a little important. You are not to sleep together at all if I or Haymitch are not with you, so you are not to go to his house alone. " Katniss interrupts."Mother! we are only 16!".

 There was a moment of silence that lasted about 3 minutes before Katniss's mother begins again " I'm just saying you two are not sleeping together in his house alone or this house alone, so I and Haymitch made a deal that one of us always has to be in the house that you are together in, ok?" she says.

 "Alright," we say together. Katniss's mom gets a call from the mayor for an interview and leaves. 

"I'm so sorry about her," Katniss says "It's ok it's better to have an overprotective mom than an abusive one," I say in response "oh Peeta I'm so sorry," she says nudging her forehead into my shoulder, "it's alright. I don't want to see her again. "

I wake to see Katniss lying on my lap and Mrs.Everdeen cooking bacon and eggs on the stove. "Good morning," Katniss yawns, "I see you're finally up," Mrs. Everdeen chuckles. I hear footsteps and look behind me, Prim yawns. "Oh? Hi Peeta, what are you doing here?" she asks "acting as a pillow for your sister" I joke she laughs then shakes Katniss awake "Wake up sleepy head, breakfast is ready and I'm pretty sure your boyfriend is not a pillow" Prim laughs.

 I'm glad that I have a better relationship with Katniss's family now and even a better relationship with Katniss herself.

Katniss's POV 

It has been a couple of weeks since we've got back from the Capital, I and Peeta are close now. I haven't had a nightmare in 6 days because Peeta always sleeping next to me, even when I did last week  Peeta was there to comfort me back to sleep. The victory tour is coming up tomorrow. I've been nervous for weeks, and Peeta says it will be fine and he will talk for me. 

I go for a walk to the meadow early in the morning hoping to forget about the tour tomorrow. Unfortunately, it doesn't leave my mind, so I go the Hob for breakfast. When I get home mother and Prim are standing in the hallway waiting for me it seems, "How was your walk dear" she says "Someone is here to see you" Prim says with fear in her tone "Ok".

 (This is the president snow part in catching fire)

Peetas POV

"I don't think I can do this Peeta" Katniss whispers to me the morning of the Victory tour  "it will be fine Katniss don't worry",  she has been acting strange lately probably just nervous.

 Katniss goes off to meet her prep team and Cinna while I go and wait for my prep team and Portia, my stylist, "Oh Peeta, you look Horrid!" Portia exclaims."Thank you, " I respond calmly.

 When they are done with me finally I get to look in the mirror, I'm camera ready for sure. They open the door for a live interview with Ceaser Flickerman from the Capital, I see Katniss dressed up but little makeup, she looks beautiful. I walk towards her and we meet in the middle of the street, I slip on the ice and must have tripped Katniss because she fell onto me, we share a passionate kiss, and stand up. 

Ceaser asks some questions then the camera goes black as a signal the broadcast is over and its time for us to get on the train. We say our goodbyes and get on to the Capital train.
