Subject: The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
Title: Always
Warnings: I'm quoting parts of the books, the 3 of them.
“Handsome lad like you. There must be some special girl. Come on, what’s her name?”says Caesar.
Peeta sighs. “Well, there is this one girl. I’ve had a crush on her ever since I can remember. But I’m pretty sure she didn’t know I was alive until the reaping.”
“I remember everything about you,” says Peeta, tucking a loose strand of hair behind my ear. “You’re the one who wasn’t paying attention.”
"I noticed just about every girl, but none of them made a lasting impression but you"
“There’s nothing for you to be sorry about. You were just keeping us alive. But I don’t want us to go on like this, ignoring each other in real life and falling into the snow every time there’s a camera around. So I thought if I stopped being so, you know, wounded, we could take a shot at just being friends”
I smell fresh bread and turn my stiff neck to find Peeta looking down at me with such a sad expression. I get the sense that he's been watching us awhile. “Go on up to bed, Katniss. I'll look after him now,” he says.“Peeta. About what I said yesterday, about running-” I begin.“I know,” he says. “There's nothing to explain.”
“Caesar, do you think all our friends here can keep a secret?[...]We're already married[...]Oh, it's not an official marriage[...] neither of us really wanted to wait any longer. So one day, we just did it,[...]And to us, we're more married than any piece of paper or big party could make us.”
“[...] I'm glad you two had at least a few months of happiness together.”
“I'm not glad, I wish we had waited until the whole thing was done officially.”
“Surely even a brief time is better than no time?”
“Maybe I'd think that, too, Caesar, if it weren't for the baby.”
"Friend. Lover. Victor. Enemy. Fiancee. Target. Mutt. Neighbor. Hunter. Tribute. Ally. I'll add it to the list of words I use to try to figure you out[...]The problem is, I can't tell what's real anymore, and what's made up."
"You love me.Real or not real?"
"Real"
