( everything bleeds in his dreams.

that's the common thread that ties them together, the blood and the screaming and every single horror that blurs the line between reality and imagination, because god knows he's experienced enough violence to make this all seem so real. but in the end, it's not his own screams that wake him, dragging him into consciousness. it's katniss'.

peeta is awake almost instantly, throwing the sheets back so he can bolt into the other room where they've set up a futon for katniss to sleep on, because he still doesn't trust himself not to hurt her in the night. peeta's by her side in an instant, shaking her gently awake. )


Katniss. Katniss, wake up.

( he will never, ever begrudge her for her nightmares. no matter how many times she wakes him during the night, because peeta understands them better than most. they probably see many of the same harrowing images, the ones peeta used to paint in an attempt to calm himself some nights. he'd paint until dawn when he couldn't sleep, under the luxury of electricity that being a victor afforded him.

in this way, all they have is each other. and he doesn't take that for granted. she throws herself into his arms and he takes a deep breath, reminding himself who he is for a moment - my name is peeta mellark and this is katniss everdeen and i have loved her for my entire life, i would rather die than hurt her.

it helps. it means that peeta can wrap his arms around her without terror, cradling her to his chest. )


No, don't apologize.

( what did he do in situations like these? peeta finds himself carding fingers through her hair. it just feels right, somehow. )

Anything for you.

( he says it instantly, without even thinking about it. this is something the old peeta would say, with the same kind of conviction as well. and he really does mean it, because there isn't a single thing that he wouldn't do to keep katniss safe, to make her happy. she's the whole reason why he's here, after all.

so peeta slides onto the couch next to her. he's smaller than he used to be, a little more lean because of everything he's been through. he's gentle as he moves so that her head is resting on his shoulder.

just like they used to )
