I Loaf You

-Flashback-

"I suck at everything! Oh god Snows going to kill Prim just cause I can't do anything. I don't- maybe freaking out can be a talent I mean, or or shooting a bow, I mean arrow. Well shooting anything really. I-," "Katniss," Peeta said calmly, interrupting her rant. She flashed her cloudy sky grey eyes at him and he smiled, resting his warm hands on her shoulders. "I can teach you cooking,"

-End of Flashback-

The next day Katniss woke up, made a nice bowl of oatmeal for Prim, kissed her gently on the forehead and jogged off to meet Peeta at his families bakery. She couldn't help but smile when she saw him waiting for her by the door, wearing his usually uniform of worn out jeans, a white t-shirt and a white apron. Even though it was around 7am his adorable face with its comforting smile was already smeared with dough. Katniss bounced up the steps and stood happily in front of Peeta, wipping the dough off his face with a finger and putting it in her mouth. "Yum," She smiled. Peeta laughed and took her hand away from her mouth, leaning into her for a quick kiss. When he pulled away she couldn't help but tease him, "That was the sweetest kiss,"

"Oh be quiet," Peeta laughed as he grabbed her hand and lead her into the back of the bakery.

Growing up in District 12, Katniss had experienced starvation. Every weekend she would have to go out in the forbidden woods and hunt to feed her family. Sometimes in the winter all they had to live off was rotting meat and weeds and berries. Walking past all the colorful cakes in the bakery with its intricate designs and multiple flavors and fresh ingredients she couldn't help but envy Peeta.

Peeta turned around to see the zoned out look on her face and frowned, "It's not that glamorous. My mom works up front and yells at us the orders while Dad bakes and I decorate. I can't eat anything and the whole place is full of food!" Peeta joked, trying to lighten the mood. Katniss looked up at him, she remembered the night he tossed her the bread and how his mom had smacked him across the face. Her eyes locked with his, "She's just jealous she doesn't have your talent," Peeta smiled and they walked in silence to the kitchen.

Once they got there Peeta helped put on Katniss's apron, slipping it over her head and moving her signature braid out the way, stroking her face gently before scampering around the kitchen to collect the ingredients.

He dropped down a bunch of foreign ingredients on the wooden table in front of her and smiled as he wiped his hands, "Alright let's get started," Over the counter he told Katniss to measure cups of certain liquid, to shave the skins off the vegetables, to juice the lemons… "Peeta I can't find the Amplexus?" As she leaned over the table in search of this mysterious 'Amplexus' she felt strong arms wrap around her waist. She laughed, "Peeta?" He kissed her neck and pulled away smiling, going back across the kitchen to begin chopping carrots and mixing them with a green sauce with onion squares floating in them, "Amplexus is Latin for 'to embrace' We're working together now but you make it hard to focus," He smiled before getting back to work.

Twenty minutes of chopping and skinning and searching for foods with weird names, the hard work had finally pulled off. Peeta put on oven mitts and opened up the oven, slowly pulling out two hot trays of meatloaf fiesta. He placed it on the table and took off the mitts, searching through some draws and pulling out two ladles. He grabbed the green sauce and put it in-between them. "Okay here's the easy part, just put the sauce on it," He said as he scooped up the sauce and with an easy hand movement equally drizzled it onto the dish. Katniss watched as she got the sauce, trying not to get the right amount. She breathed as the spoon stood over her plate, "equal movements," she said in her mind as she barely tipped over the spoon.

Plop.

All the sauce fell out and Peeta almost busted out laughing. "Aw not funny Peeta!" Katniss yelled before collecting another spoon full and flinging it at Peeta. Peeta laughed more, "Oh you're going to get it Katniss!" He said running for her. Katniss ran for the door she saw earlier but she didn't know it was locked. She yanked at the handle, "darn it," she turned around and saw Peeta with a huge smile on his face.

And then he captured her in his arms.
