Did you notice peeta isn't with the other tributes behind katniss and ceasar? Wonder what's up with that, I even paused it and counted.

Pretty sure he's off to the side waiting to drop the baby bomb, since his interview is last. The other Victors are finished with their interviews.

Would you rather lose the catching fire cuddle scenes or the mockingjay peeta mutt sewer kiss scene?

As long as I get a beach kiss, I can live without the cuddles. I need me some Peeta kisses!

Breathe in a brown paper bag a few times and it'll go away (;

Thanks, guys!  They went away after a few timed sips of water.

itsjustdude said: Are you still taking prompts? if so, Peeta crushes on katniss for years in high school never does anything, grows up and mid 20’a receives a very interesting Facebook message from katniss

Hope you like it!

  Hey Peeta!  It’s me--Katniss Everdeen. Can we talk?

There it was. Right in front of him.

A Facebook message from the girl that he had been in love with throughout high school.

She had been the Queen of Panem High while he was her lowly lab partner in Chemistry. He could still remember the smell of her perfume—a combination of melon and citrus. Sometimes, Peeta would discreetly close his eyes and breathe in her scent as they sat next to one another.

And there were so many times that he had tried to say something. And there were so many times that he just wanted to reach over and cup her cheek in his hand…

He never did.

Peeta watched her move to Los Angeles to go to UCLA as he was left behind to take over the family bakery.

He heard that she had done some light modeling. Or some sort of commercial.

Peeta never found anything like that on the internet.

He typed a message back to her:  Sure. When?

She responded quickly: Now.

“Now?”

“Now.” He looked up at the doorway of the bakery and there she was. Katniss Everdeen, all grown up. She was in a pair of skinny jeans, boots and an oversize sweater while her hair was braided loosely down her shoulder. Katniss gave him a small smile. “Hey Peeta.”

Closing the laptop, he walked around the counter wiping his hands on his apron.

“Hey Katniss,” he greeted her. “It’s been a while.”

“No hug?” she asked with a flirtatious gleam in her eyes.

“Oh God, I’m sorry.” He went and wrapped his arms around her small waist. Katniss pulled him closer and his mouth just briefly touched her neck before she withdrew. “It’s really nice to see you.” Taking her hand, he led her over to a table near the window. “Are you hungry?”

“Yeah. The usual for me.”

She used to come into the bakery to study. When she did, Katniss always had the same thing: cheese buns and a cup of coffee.

He nodded before going back to the counter and getting her a plate of cheesebuns. He went to the table to drop it off then went to grab the coffee pot.  “What brings you back to town?”

After pouring her a cup, Peeta sat across from her.

“My sister is getting married,” Katniss replied as she looked out the window across from them. The sun was just beginning to set. “To Rory Hawthorne.”

“Gale’s younger brother?” Gale had been her boyfriend in high school.

“Yup, I guess it was just destined that an Everdeen would end up with a Hawthorne.” The two families were the richest families in their small town, afterall. “So here I am.”

“Do you still talk to Gale?”

“Yes, he and Madge are expecting their second kid in a few months,” she told him and then took sip from her mug.

“Oh so he married Madge Undersee?” The mayor’s daughter and the polar opposite of Katniss.

Katniss nodded again before going silent.

“So why did you want to talk to me?”

She turned to him again. “How come you never kissed me?”

“What?”

“I knew you liked me. So why didn’t you kiss me?”

“Come on, Katniss. You were popular and pretty. I was just some lab partner that helped you keep you grade up in Chem.”

“First off, all of that popularity stuff was bullshit. Second, I had a 4.0 so I didn’t need your help.”

“Why didn’t you say so?”

“Because I liked the way you’d pull out my chair for me or how you know my favorite foods,” she said. “I liked the way you smelled—like sandalwood and brown sugar. Didn’t you ever wonder why I always moved our chairs closer?”

“I thought you were looking over my work,” he responded weakly.

“When I think about high school, all the good parts about it, you were in them.” She placed her elbows on the table and leaned forward. “That has to mean something.”

“Like what?” He leaned forward, his own elbows on the table.  

“That you loved me.” Her eyes shining as she looked at him. “Not because I was popular or could fit nicely into a tube top. You loved me for me.”

“And you? How did you feel?”

“I loved you too.” She gave him another bashful smile

He pushed his feet up so that he could lean forward across the table. His lips brushed against hers before he deepened the kiss. Peeta could hear the scrape of her chair as she stood up.

She still smelled like melon and citrus.

When Peeta pulled away, he held her face in her hands. “So this is why you messaged me after almost ten years?” He caressed her cheek with his thumb and felt her face relax against his hands.

Katniss nodded as her eyes followed his. “I needed to know--and I needed a date to the wedding.”

itsjustdude replied to your post: So I kind of made all sorts of plans with my...

Ha I do that shit all the time. My sister says you should come over and I’m all like tag that’s be awesome…..it’s been like 3 months..

Yeah, with me I'm all eager to do things when I make the plans, but the closer it gets to the date the less eager I get until I just end up dreading it completely and backing out.

[ashyblondwaves]

I figured it out, she was a singer and there is a chance when you do a sing a gram for her to catch fire. The 2nd time it must have been because I left her in the park to long performing for tips and she got too hot. That's what I got from Wikia.

LOL! That’s really interesting that Sims can just catch on fire at random when they go perform a sing a gram. I’ve never ever heard of that. And they catch on fire when they overheat? Damn. This game is getting kind of sick, lol.

Are you the one I talked with about everlark Sims? If so I totally went and got the Sims 3 and made everlark, thus I've missed like everything on tumblr for the past month lol. Does your katniss ever spontaneously combust? Mine has twice.....

That was probably me, yes lol. I am really excited that you have your own Everlark Sims now. I haven’t played mine in a really long time, I feel bad. I need to get on that. 

My Katniss has never spontaneously combusted, no, LOL. Is she getting laid enough? Cause I mean, I know if I had Peeta and went without for a while, I’d probably spontaneously combust too.

In all seriousness though (as serious as you can get about The Sims), I’m not really sure what’d cause her to do that. Have you tried Googling it to see why that happens? I don’t think I’ve ever had any of my Sims do that. Very weird.

[ashyblondwaves]

I wish I could reply on yours Sims posts, I spent so many years hooked on that game! Is simpeeta wearing makeup in that last post?

You can’t reply? I think you just started following me recently, so that’s probably why. I think it takes 2 weeks of following before you can reply to posts or something goofy like that.

But yeah, The Sims has always been a favorite of mine. I used to go over to my friend’s house back when The Sims 1 was out and spend hours hogging her computer to play it (I didn’t have my own computer back then).

As for Peeta wearing makeup.. it’s possible! I know I didn’t put any on him, but I sure as hell didn’t put that outfit on him, either, LOL.
