Sparks of Revolution and Love

Melope looked at him and bit her lip gently. "If only," she whispered as she kissed him back before pulling away softly. Watching him, she cupped his cheeks and kissed him again.

Gale went to his room before going to his office. He began working on some new ideas. This is crazy, he thought as he sighed in frustration and tried to relax.

Peeta smiled and caressed her cheek. "Hey - someday we will. We'll be like this - all the time. I'll never let you leave my arms." He smiled, leaning his forehead against hers.

Arissa thought about him. She wished he could've stayed and they could love happily ever after - but that would be a long time coming. She wished she could just tell him that she loved him and all of that, but it all needed to happen in time.

Melope looked at him and smiled gently as she kissed him gently before pulling away again and touching his cheek. She smiled before pulling away and moving to sit up. "I should take a shower," she said softly as she ran her fingers through her hair.

Gale sighed again in frustration before he pushed papers and pens onto the floor. He pushed himself up and began to pace around the room as he tried to figure this thing out.

Peeta smiled as she touched his cheek and kissed him and then he pouted as she moved away. "Is that an invitation to join you? Or are you simply saying that you'd like to leave now?" He asked with a slight jest in his voice.

Arissa finally stood and left her parents in the house. She just couldn't be crowded in here when now she thought about the way that Gale had loved her in her room. He was here now - a part of her surroundings that she couldn't ignore. It was so hard.

Melope looked over her shoulder at him and laughed softly. "It is up to you," she said with a teasing wink on her face and she leaned over and kissed him again gently before sitting up.

Gale sighed as he began to pick the stuff that littered the floor, up. He looked over his old plans before and idea struck him and he got to work. This might work, he thought excitedly.

Peeta smirked a little at her as she winked and nodded his head. "Don't tempt me!" He teased and then sat up, taking her hand and sliding closer to her. He loved her.

Arissa sighed and just wandered around for the longest time. She was trying to get her mind off of things and just not think - but of course nothing worked and she would continue to be annoyed, but oh well.

Melope laughed softly before standing up, allowing the sheet to slide off her body, revealing her skin. It was a pale white with the occasional pink scar that cross crossed it.

Gale continued to work as more and more ideas and connections were made. This was good, he thought excitedly as he smirked and his pencil flew across the paper.

Peeta sighed a little when he saw her naked skin again and he grabbed her hips, pulling her close as he kissed her shoulder. "You're so damn beautiful..." He trailed off.

Arissa didn't really care where she was going. All she cared about was that she didn't have to think. She didn't have to worry about anything right now. Lost in the darkness of some of this space, she could almost forget about Gale. This might be what she had to do while he was gone..

Melope shivered as he kissed her shoulder and she looked at him. "Thanks," she whispered softly before she turned fully and kissed him lightly before pulling away slightly. "I am really going to go take a shower," she said jokingly.

Gale continued to work as he ran his fingers over his new design. Gathering his materials, he stuffed them into his bag before taking off for the war council room.

Peeta smiled when she shivered and then he nodded his head. "And I was equally as serious - am I allowed to join you?" He asked, holding her hips tightly.

Arissa felt like an idiot. She hated throwing him out of her place, because where were they now. What were they? Were they lovers or more? Or was that just a one time thing? She couldn't answer any of those questions and she hated herself for it.

Melope bit her lip, loving the feeling of his hands on her skin. "Yes, you can come," she whispered softly as she shivered again. She kissed him again gently before pulling away and watching him curiously for a moment. "You coming?" she asked softly.

Gale continued to over through the halls before he froze. "Arissa?" he called out as he walked to her. "What are you doing here? Why aren't you home?" he asked as he watched her closely.

Peeta smiled at her and sighed. "Of course I'm coming!" He teased as his hands touched her skin and stepped closer to her again. "I love you baby." He winked.

Arissa blushed as she heard his voice and she sighed, chewing on her lip. "I just... I didn't want to stay inside..." She said with a blush and looked away. She was shy about him now.

Melope looked at him and smiled gently as she moved toward the shower room. Sliding open the door, she stepped inside and turned on the water. This was nice, she thought as the water caressed her skin.

Gale looked at her and frowned slightly. "What is going on?" he asked as he took her chin and made her look up at him. "What's wrong?" he asked gently as he watched her closely.

Peeta sighed as they walked into the shower together and he held his arms around her. This was romantic - perfect. He leaned into the water, kissing her and running his hands all over her. She was so beautiful.

Arissa blushed a little as he raised her chin and she sighed. "Nothing's wrong Gale... I just didn't want to be in my room, okay?" She asked lightly, shaking her head.

Melope shivered as he touched her and she looked up at him and smiled gently. Leaning up, she brushed her lips against his before pulling away and smiling at him again.

Gale looked down at her and pushed himself away slightly. "Fine," he said. "Well, don't get into trouble," he said as he began to walk past her toward the war council.

Peeta smiled at her and kissed her deeply as much as he could before she pulled away. "You're so damn beautiful..." He sighed, taking in how beautiful she was. He felt so lucky.

Arissa felt like she wanted to cry as he walked away and she shook her head. "I love you..." She whispered as he walked away, but he probably didn't hear. Maybe it wasn't worth it...

Melope looked at him and smiled before she blushed lightly. She allowed her eyes to trail over his body and she leaned up and kissed his cheek gently before pulling away and kissing him again deeply.

Gale looked over his shoulder at her and smiled. "I know," he said with a wink. "I love you too," he said before he turned again and walked away quickly. Soon, he was out of sight again.

Peeta smiled as her lightly and sighed. "Like what you see there?" He teased lightly, leaning down and pressing his lips to hers, groaning lightly as he held her close.

Arissa smiled lightly as he looked back at her. She wished she had more time with him now, but hopefully they would see each other before he left... She needed him.

Melope laughed softly against his lips as she wrapped her arms around his neck and massaged the back of his neck as she ran her fingers through his hair gently.

Gale jogged out to go see the war council and he walked into the room. He smiled gently and waited patiently before he began to excitedly talk about his new plan.

Peeta groaned a little as she massaged his neck and he held her tightly. "Why are you so damn sexy?" He asked smilingly, holding her and looking down into her eyes.

Arissa felt better walking now. She was afraid before but now that she knew he loved her too and he knew she loved him, everything would be okay... She hoped today wouldn't be their last though.
