... Have I mentioned I kind of adore the Hunger Games? Well. I kind of adore the Hunger Games. More specifically, I have a huge crush on Peeta Mellark. (Don't judge.)
Let me start with something silly... I love Peeta Mellark. Okay, fictional crushes on LJ aren't generally something to be embarrassed about (in fact most people are pretty proud) but my REASONING makes me feel like I'm fourteen. He's just so beautifully dedicated to Katniss and even though we are reading it from her (oblivious) POV, we can see his small touches of love over and over again. I ADORE HIM, IT IS AN ILLNESS.
This is heavily laced with Katniss/Peeta, as um. Have you read the book? The boy is head over heels.
Also, apologies for the crappy cover art. I am creatively broken. This was started before they cast the Peeta, and Hunter will always be my mental picture of the character.
Chris Isaak :: Wicked Games The world was on fire and no-one could save me but you
The chariot, holding hands so tight and him asking for her to hold on so he doesn’t lose it all. ♥
Incubus :: Talk Shows on Mute Take a bow
Pack on powder
Wash 'em out with buzzing lights
Pay an audience to care
'Impress me' personality
All dressed up and in the interview process, the questions come and he answers diligently. He’s so much better at wooing the crowd.
Dashboard Confessionals :: As Lovers Go she said, "i've gotta be honest,
you're wasting your time if you're fishing round here. "
and i said, "you must be mistaken,
i'm not fooling...this feeling is real."
she said, "you've gotta be crazy,
What do you take me for? Some kind of easy mark? "
you've got wits, you've got looks,
you've got passion, but I swear that you've got me all wrong.
The roof top scene/The hallway fight.
Rob Thomas :: All That I Am And I breathe so you breathe
Let me stand so you'll stand
With all that I am
The games begin and even despite them being apart, he is playing for her.
The Magnetic Fields :: From a Sinking Boat If I could walk, I'd walk away
But I haven't slept since yesterday
The ink is sinking, the page is blurred
And I can't read a single word
But I know I love you
Know that I wrote
My last words to you
From a sinking boat
The cave scene.
Sara Bareilles :: The Light And if you say be alright
I'm gonna trust you, babe
I'm gonna look in your eyes
And if you say be alright
I'll follow you into the light
Oh my, how this song makes me weak for Peeta. The berries. Peeta trusting Katniss with his life, after all the things that happened he still wanted her to live.
Matchbox Twenty :: Damn What's the matter girl well
Don't you think I'm good enough
This old heart had a whole lot a breakin' down
She's got all these reasons in her head
Well all that time she knew if I lied
You can bet she will
She's takin' her time 'til I thought I would die
And I can't sit still
And just as quickly as it started, it’s over. Peeta has to go back to his old life in District 12, without her.
