He is a very compassionate person and is good with words. He has been in love with Katniss Everdeen since the age of 5, but never confessed his feelings until he was reaped alongside her for the 7. Hunger Games. He and Katniss play out a romance in the arena in order to garner sponsors and manage to both become victors by tricking the Gamemakers. Although his feelings are genuine, he is hurt to discover that Katniss' were not entirely. He and Katniss become friends despite the fact that they are forced to use their fake romance to both placate and subvert the capitol during their Victory Tour and the 7. Hunger Games. At the end of the 7. Games, Peeta is captured by the Capitol and hijacked to believe that Katniss is an evil muttation. He manages to fall in love with her all over again during the end of the war and the years afterwards. Eventually, Katniss realizes that she is also in love with him, and they have two children (it is unclear whether or not they are married). His father was kind, but his mother was known to beat Peeta and his two brothers if they made a mistake (for example, she hits Peeta with a rolling pin for burning bread). On the first day of school, Peeta's father pointed her out, saying that he wanted to marry her mother but ultimately didn't as she married a coal miner. Peeta was confused as to why someone would marry a coal miner instead of his father, but Mr. Mellark explained that when Mr. Everdeen sang, the birds stopped to listen. Later, Katniss sang for their music class, and Peeta realized he was in love with her when he saw that the birds were listening like they did for her father. He said that he had often watched her, but the two never spoke until they were both reaped for the 7. Hunger Games. Katniss recognizes him instantly, knowing that he is the boy who, five years prior, purposely burned bread and gave it to her to save her family and herself from starvation - an act that gave her the hope and courage to feed her family.

Haymitch is impressed by their potential and decides that as long as they don't interfere with his drinking, he will stay sober enough to help them. For the Parade, he and Katniss are dressed in black unitards with synthetic fire to represent burning coal. The Capitol receives them more positively than any of the other district tributes during the Opening Ceremonies, where they are instructed to hold hands. Peeta excels at keeping up the appearance that they are friends, easing Katniss into conversation and responding to what she's saying at all the right times. He receives a training score of 8 after his private session with the Gamemakers, saying that he threw some weights around because the Gamemakers were clearly not interested in him. During his interview with Caesar Flickerman, he reveals he is in love with Katniss, much to her surprise. This confession begins the idea that the two are the . Peeta admits that he does not believe he has ever been a contender in the games; he merely wants to die as himself and show the Capitol that he is . He surprisingly teams up with the Careers, as Katniss finds out on the first night. What she does not know, is that he is only with them in order to protect her. When an argument breaks out about the dying tribute from District 8 and whether or not the pack should go back to kill her, Peeta says they are wasting time and finishes her off himself. They find Katniss and chase her up a tree, with Peeta suggesting that they make camp under it, as none of them are able to climb after her. In the morning, they wake up to a tracker jacker attack after Katniss unleashes a nest of them.

Cato witnesses this exchange and cuts Peeta in his upper thigh for his actions, severely wounding him, then relegating him from the Career pack. She nurses him back to health as best she can, but ultimately he suffers from blood poisoning, which she cannot cure without the right medicine. During this time, Peeta plays up the star- crossed lovers angle and Katniss responds as best as she can, which results in sponsor gifts of food.
Katniss knows she has to go, but Peeta won't let her, saying he doesn't want her to die for him. Haymitch then sends Katniss sleep syrup, which she slyly gives to Peeta in some berries she found; Peeta is hurt by her trickery before he falls into a deep sleep, giving her time to go to the feast. She manages to return with the medicine, after nearly dying at the hands of Clove. Katniss just manages to inject the medicine into Peeta before fainting from her own blood loss. He treats her wound, and she wakes up later. They stay in their cave during a thunderstorm, during which Thresh dies, presumably at the hands of Cato.

When Katniss does not hear Peeta whistle after an extended period of time, she becomes frightened and, upon finding him, chastises him for worrying her. She notices that their collection of food, which contains deadly nightlock berries that Peeta mistakenly picked out, is missing a portion, and is irritated with him for having eaten without her, but he denies doing so. A cannon sounds, and they see Foxface's emaciated body being picked up by a hovercraft; she stole and ate the deadly berries, which instantly killed her. They notice at the Cornucopia that Cato is covered in full- body armor, which he received from his district pack, that protects him from Katniss' arrows. The three of them are attacked by wolf muttations that the Gamemakers unleash, with Katniss noticing that they all resemble the deceased tributes. They climb onto the roof of the Cornucopia for safety, with Cato holding Peeta in a headlock to cut off his air.

Realizing that the Capitol would rather have two victors than none. Peeta and Katniss' final interview. Katniss and Peeta decide to commit suicide with the remaining nightlock. Right before they consume the berries, Claudius Templesmith begs them to stop and announces that they both have won the Games. At their final interview with Caesar Flickerman, the pair once again project their mad love for each- other, with Katniss only doing so because she knows that President Snow is livid at the unusual events that turned the Capitol into a laughingstock and, more importantly, sparked something dangerous in the districts. Peeta, however, is genuinely in love with her, as is revealed on their train ride home, when Katniss admits that she has been partially faking her feelings for him, leaving him heartbroken. Peeta Mellark, a baker's son from. Once they arrive in the Capitol, Peeta and Katniss are once again dressed in fiery costumes. During the night, Katniss is.

On the train there, when Katniss loses her temper with Effie, Peeta calms her down and suggests that they make a genuine attempt at being friends despite all that has happened between them. At night on the train, Katniss often wakes up screaming from nightmares. To comfort her, Peeta holds her while she sleeps; this becomes a nightly routine.

As Peeta and Katniss go into the District 1. Justice Building, they see the man who whistled as he is executed by a gunshot to the head. Peeta is shocked, forcing Katniss and Haymitch to explain that Snow does not believe their act of love and that they have been trying to downplay any signs of rebellion on the Tour. Angry that he has been left out and not knowing how risky his kind gesture to Thresh and Rue's family was, Peeta lashes out until Katniss comforts him. Katniss, however is given a subtle gesture from Snow that tells her that this was not good enough to contain the fire that she has ignited. She suggests that they run away together, bringing Gale and her family along with them.

However, President Snow announces that the criteria for this. Peeta tribute 7. 5th Hunger Games. The wedding Chapter 2, a hunger games fanfic. As I step out of the limo, my body doesn't feel like it's my own. It's been disconnected from my brain, it's moving on its own. The cheering from the immense crowd is deafening, and the sun is blinding me. There are people everywhere, the Peacekeepers can just barely keep them back. Peeta and I have become Capitol royalty. I truly am their fairytale princess, and this is my wedding. Fortunately, after nearly two years of practice, my body knows what to do even though my mind is screaming at me to run, run. I smile that bright Capitol smile I know the tabloids love so much, wave at them, even blow a few kisses to the crowd. The crowd's ecstatic reaction is immediate. Focus, Katniss. You just have to get through this day. And this night. Don't mess up. I feel someone touching my arm, and it takes every bit of will power I have to keep myself from flinching when Snow's fingers touches me. I look at him, and again I meet his cold eyes. His smile, though, is grandfather- like. The idea of Snow giving me away, instead of my father, is revolting. My father was killed working in Snow's unsafe mines. He died so that the Capitol could get cheap coal for its factories, making useless luxury items they don't even need. But I have no choice but to smile back and place one foot ahead of the other. Step by step, I need to get through this. I force my hands to stop shaking, and to smile, as if this is truly the biggest day of my life. The Hunger Games are nothing compared to this. Back then, all that was at stake was my own life. After we teamed up in the arena, Peeta's life also depended on me. But now, the fate of both of our families lies on my shoulders alone. The Presidential Palace is where the ceremony will take place. The City Hall was, despite its size, still not large and glamorous enough for such an important media event. The immense ceremonial hall is filled with flowers. White roses from Snow's genetically engineered garden. The scent is overwhelming. Only the fact that I'd mentally prepared for it is keeping me from retching all over my dress. I glance down at it, at Cinna's intricate primrose pearl embroidery. Primroses. Keep thinking about primroses. I can't see clearly anymore, I just see shapes around me . I distantly hear their admiring ooh'ing and aah'ing when they see me. THere are surprised gasps, too. I guess they didn't expect this dress, it's not the one they voted for. I am still a walking act of defiance, even today. Snow's hand is ice cold on my arm. The music is ringing in my ear. It's too loud, too much. Again, no one asked me. This is how it's done in the Capitol, so this is how it has to be. And up there by the City Mayor, standing in a dark tuxedo, he is. Peeta. He looks awestruck - I guess he approves of my dress. His eyes are brimming with tears. I look at him, desperately, I know that only he can see how I truly feel. Peeta narrows his eyes almost imperceptibly, but is smart enough not to show his confusion. He knows something is wrong, but I can't tell him what it is. I realize I'll have to try to keep what Snow told me in the limo away from him. He has to believe that what will happen tonight is real. He looks so handsome, yet still so young, standing there. Whatever we've been through, he's helped me through the storm. The Hunger Games, the victory tour, the mentoring, the nightmares. He'll help me through this storm as well. Just keep thinking of Peeta, Katniss. Think of Peeta and primroses. His eyes are fixed on mine, he's smiling happily, and I feel myself returning the smile. As Snow gives me away, with a kiss on each cheek, I feel the sickening stench of blood again. The warning he gives me is unmistakable, and I give him a small nod in return. I'll play my part. I can't hold back a small sigh of relief when Snow's cold arm is replaced Peeta's warm one. He looks questioningly at me, but I just give his hand a small squeeze. Not now. I can't really hear what the judge is saying, but I think I say . My voice is surprisingly strong and even, I sound so sure of myself. Peeta's voice is deep and clear, there's no hesitation. And thus, with a few words and two signatures, we are husband and wife. We've kissed many times with an audience, of course, but this also is something we do nearly every night, in the privacy of our bedroom. But today, we'll have to give them something extra, something more. It is, after all, our wedding day. Peeta's blue eyes are full of love, but there is something else there as well? This day isn't what he'd hoped it would be, either. That's another thing to hold on to. But he pulls me into his embrace. Our bodies are so close, my arms are around his waist while he holds my head carefully between his hands, low on the sides of my skull and jaw. He's taking control of me, of the kiss. Our lips meet, and the taste of him is familiar, safe. He pulls away briefly after a few seconds. I'm surprised that he'd allow this very important kiss to be so short, but he just smiles, he's so close I can physically feel his smile against my lips. Then he kisses me again . White rose petals are released from somewhere above us. Like genetically engineered snow they fall all around us. Only Peeta's strong body tightly pressed against mine keeps me from falling. I'm so grateful he's here to be my anchor, my savior. I get lost in his kiss, trying very hard to shut everything out. When he finally releases me for the second time, I gasp for air, and so does he. His pupils are dilated. He brushes my cheek lovingly with one hand. It is wet, I must've been crying. I hope I can pass them off as being tears of joy, today on my wedding day. As we walk to the celebration hall where the wedding reception is to take place, parting a sea of people, everything around me is a blur. People are cheering, congratulating. Prim is ecstatic and looks all too beautiful. I suddenly think that I have to get her back to District 1. I can, out of view from the Capitol. She's enough of a target already. She should attract as little attention as possible. It's not safe for her to be here. Cameras are everywhere. Throughout it all, I cling to Peeta's hand. He's my compass and my rock. He showers me with kisses, his warm hands keep me steady, gently moving me on. Dinner is extravagant, I had expected nothing less. There are so many courses, I barely get a taste of all of them, yet I'm quickly full. I see Capitol people regularly getting up from the table. I know they are going to throw up, then return with empty stomachs to have even more food. I think of the children starving in 1. I had. I have one glass of champagne, but quickly find that I have to stay away from alcohol for the rest of the evening. The bubbles go straight to my head, and I can't afford to lose control, not today. Perhaps I should have another glass of champagne tonight. Perhaps it will make it easier. Don't go there, Katniss. There are numerous speeches, of course. Snow's speech makes my skin crawl, yet I must pretend to be moved by his account of the star- crossed lovers and how we won the hearts of all of Panem. My mother's is short, and she's very obviously nervous, but I'm grateful that she tried. Peeta's father holds a speech which I'm sure is boring for the Capitol guests, but which is very personal and moving for Peeta and me. Yes, he has. Even today he does. Haymitch gives a speech, too. It's quite early in the program, which I'm sure is no coincidence, as he's likely to pass out from all the liquor long before we get to the dessert. I'm afraid that his speech will be rebellious or provoking, but I'm relieved when it's relatively short and without anything that can fuel the flames in the district. As our eyes meet for one split second over the flower decorations on the table, I see that he knows what's at stake here, and he's trying everything he can not to make this even worse for us. I'm surprised when Haymitch is still conscious after dinner. He manages to get me alone in the garden for just a few minutes, which is no easy feat. Or liquor under the bridge, whatever. Did your mother talk to you? Did she give you the pills? I don't know how Haymitch understood what Snow's threatening me to do, but I guess I shouldn't be surprised. He's been in this game for a long, long time. Even now, he's doing everything he can to keep us safe. But better Peeta than. I'll have to try and keep it from him. The first dance is ours. At least I hate Capitol ballroom dancing. Snow hired a ballroom dancing teacher for us, some fool from the Capitol, and we've practiced for weeks so we'd get it right for the cameras. I'm terrible at it, but know I'll have to do my best. Everything for the show. And Peeta's strong hands and blue eyes help me through it, once again. Peeta and I are among the first to leave the party. I suppose that being star- crossed lovers we are expected not to be able to wait to be alone. Although I'm very happy to leave the party, I'm also dreading this night. How am I supposed to keep Peeta from finding out what Snow is making us do? How can I fool him into thinking that this is a decision I've made on my own? How can I seduce him without him suspecting why I'm all of a sudden throwing myself at him? I've certainly never done that before, despite the two of us sharing a bed for a year. Cinna is the only one waiting for me in the bridal suite, my prep team are still at the party. He helps me out of my dress. It's not awkward, he's seen me naked so many times before. He gives me a white towel, and I wrap it around my body as he removes the primrose and the pearls from my hair. My hair now flows freely over my naked shoulders. Cinna looks serious, sad even. It's short, it looks like it will only barely cover my upper thighs. The neckline is much too low for my liking. I guess it's appropriate attire for a wedding night, but it's not something I'd ever wear voluntarily. Katniss the huntress prefers to sleep in an old t- shirt, but I guess the t- shirt in my overnight bag will have to stay in the bag tonight.
