#I just headcannon Katniss and Peeta being unhinged in love with each other ok

[atelierlili]

I agree 1000% I’ve said this before, but if Peeta had any sort of ‘serious’ relationship before the events of the Games, Katniss would have dragged his ass out and tell us how much of a two faced liar he is.

Girlie may not look it, but she has her ears on the ground. She knows exactly why Gale is wanted by the girls in school AND that Peeta well liked by his friends. And we all know she’s been keeping an eye out on him. 12 is small and the student population is even smaller, now imagine how small it would be if the guy was in the same grade as you. If she caught any wind or inkling that Peeta was fooling around with girls or a single girl, it’d be game over 😭 like I know if she thought him and Delly had a thing, she throw it right in his face before tossing him into an urn. In the first games she was looking for every excuse under the sun to hate him.

Now do I think he might have snuck in a kiss or two before the games? Yeah probably? I don’t know if Katniss describes Peeta as a good kisser, but like he’s also her first kiss so what experience is she actually pulling from??? Girlie probs just likes kissing him 😭

Now this is a weird theory and is basically in the headcanon area, so if you disagree that's fine. But in my opinion I believe that both Kat and Peeta are virigns (I mean Kat is obvious but what ever), to side note I do think it's a high possibility Peeta has kissed/made out with someone, although I don't really care to much to theorise about it.

Now some have talked about the fact that Peeta called Kat pure in catching fire to show he isn't a virgin, but this doesn't necessarily mean he has slept with people, you can be not pure and still a virgin, along with the fact that Kat levels of pure is worse than most. One point to add to the belief of why he isn't a virgin however is the fact that he is basically just chatting with Jo doing the elevator scene (in the books) and he doesn't seem super uncomfortable, others have stated that this is because he is an artist and after do anatomy you kind of get accustomed to seeing naked body, another add on could be him looking through adult magazines, although this is kinda far fetched. It could also be because he's a farely good actor who can work under stressful or uncomfortable situations.

Now my main reason for why I think he is apart from my personal beliefs is when he is hijacked, when he comes back he assumes that he and Kat slept together cos they were sleeping side by side throughout the victory tour, if hijacked Peeta wanted to hurt Kat wouldn't he have mentioned anyone else he has dated/slept with. He knows that it would hurt Kat, or in some level get back at her for "being" with Gale.

Now it could also be said that he forgot about that during the hijacking as his memories were altered and y'know fucked, and while there's not much to disprove that, most of his memories were altered when they involved Katniss, he didn't seem too bad with memories that didn't have any mention of Katniss.

And again, this is all my thoughts and feelings, I personally like romance and the idea of them saving themself, I am also demisexual so I don't really see how Peeta could sleep with someone else while he is still crushing on Katniss, so all of this could effect how I'm seeing this, but yet again it's just my theory and is no way factual, I wrote this on a whim. Bye bye and drink some water and have a good night's sleep.
