Arrows & Cupids tease?
Working on this...plan on updating Sunday night! Yay! In the meantime...something to tide you all over ; )
“I’m sorry I brought it up,” he answered honestly, chewing on his chapped lip. “I just thought you should know that I…think of those things. Especially these past few days.”
He lowered his voice, stepping closer to her amidst the bustling crowd. “I think about having those things with you, Katniss.”
Peeta watched her cheeks heat up, the rosy color making her normally sharp features seem somehow more feminine. Had he said too much? He usually did, although he normally wasn’t sure when he was being too honest. He had a way of blurting out the truth, every emotion, every feeling before thinking sometimes and that was exactly what had happened when he’d told her about his dream of having a toasting with her. He’d been drowsy with sleep, fresh from a dream where he’d given bread to the girl he’d dreamt about being with for years. He’d toasted bread he’d made from the finest flour with his own two hands and had fed it to her in front of a fireplace. It was the best dream he’d ever had; was it wrong to have told her about that?
Every time he blinked he could see the panic that had reflected in her eyes that morning when he’d blurted it out without thinking.
“Peeta…I just…you told me that. It was so…personal,” she admitted, her hoarse voice uneven.
“I don’t care,” he assured her, sensing her embarrassment at the honest words. He could tell she was embarrassed enough for him just for telling her what his dream was about in the first place.
“Peeta-“
“I don’t care if you know what I dream about. Right now dreams are all I have. And you. If you’ll have me.”
Katniss’ mouth dropped open slightly, a slight frown forming across her olive forehead. “But…”
“What?” he gently prodded. He pulled her further off the main path of shoppers, scanning her still-pink cheeks for clues about something, anything she was feeling in that moment.
“I don’t know why you would want to have me. I don’t have anything, Peeta. You deserve more than-“
He cut her off, gently placing his fingers across her rosy lips. “True,” he admitted, “But neither do I. Separately, we don’t have anything. But…I figure if we at least make a go of it together, then at least we have something. We’d have each other. And that’s not nothing,” he added somewhat lamely. “That’s…that’s something. To me it would be.”
An Explanation
So, I know updates have been super slow this summer and I've been MIA. I'm sorry guys, I really am.
I just wanted to take as second to thank you all for your wonderful patience. I'm getting married (for anyone who didn't know) in October and hopefully soon after that I will be back to my normal updating schedule. I know you've had some longer than usual waits for updates and I'm terribly sorry. I wish I could work faster and still produce quality, but sometimes that isn't always the case.
You've all been wonderful and patient and supportive and I thank you so much for that! I only have one wedding though, and I'm doing my best to make it wonderful and perfect and everything I've ever hoped for, and that takes up a lot of my time these days. As we get closer to October 5th, the details keep piling up and piling up and it's a lot at times. So just bear with me a little while longer and I promise to finish things up and move on to new and exciting projects.
Love you all and thanks for reading!

Arrows & Cupids *BONUS* chapter - Gale's POV is now up!
Enjoy! : )
Six Sentence Sunday - Arrows & Cupids
Peeta walked over to the small shed in the corner of the yard and saw red as he shoved his bare first through the boards. Gale jumped slightly and rushed ot his side.
“Hey….”
The pain barely registered as he backed away from the small wooden structure and grit his teeth. If the Capitol wanted a war, they would get a war. He didn’t believe in violence at all before the past week; then again, he’d never gained and lost this much in a week either. It was the price he was paying to feel alive, he realized.
“I want to kill them all.”
Gale shifted beside him. “Who?”
Peeta looked up. “Them. The Capitol. Every single one of them. The war is on,” he babbled, shaking his head.
Gale heaved a sigh and jammed his hands in his pockets. Peeta realized how cold it was, but he simply didn’t care. He was finally angry enough to want to do something.
“So you’re gonna wage war against the Capitol?”
Updates....
There will be an Arrows & Cupids update on Friday and NIOF will be updated this Sunday.
Arrows & Cupids - Six Sentence Sunday
He couldn’t help it though – he had always been an optimist, despite the little twists and turns life had given him.
A grouchy mother.
A struggling bakery in a downhill district.
A crush on a girl he could never have.
His mouth twisted into a wry expression as he contemplated that last one. It didn’t matter though – he planned on disowning his mother just as she had disowned him, and his district would either be leveled or free in a matter of days. The girl though…that was a work in progress. His eyes flicked back up to hers as he stared at her and tried to send her a message: I’m going to kiss you Katniss Everdeen. I’m going to kiss you hard and long and you’re going to know that I need you and you’re going to need me back.

Chapter 23 - Arrows & Cupids
“Katniss…”
He wasn’t prepared when she lifted her hands out of the dough and turned her crumpled face towards him. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she suddenly leaned against his chest and buried her face in his shirt collar. Her hot tears immediately soaked through the light fabric of the flimsy shirt he wore, making him realize that she was truly falling apart.
“Peeta…it’s happening,” she sniffed softly. Unsure, he wrapped an arm around her shoulders while keeping one hand firmly on the counter. His back was singing with pain but he wasn’t about to move.
