#i really hope this is okay!

[howl-at--the-sun]

I hope you don't mind but....

Can I get some vidow in these trying times?

Oh! No I don't mind at all! Here's a cute snippet that's been marinating in my head!

Shadow was really trying to pay attention. He swore he was. Vio had lectured him time and time again about keeping his mind focused on what the teacher was saying so he didn't end up repeating the Great Tingle Debacle of last year. He is really really trying.

But it's not like Vio is making it easy. The light streaming through the window catches on his platinum blonde braid and makes it glow. Lose strands float around his head, creating a halo in the bright sunlight. Vio has his Concentration Look on his face as he stares at his computer, that adorable expression where his eyebrows furrow and lips pout and Shadow just wants to kiss him so damn bad.

"Shadow," Vio's stern voice snapped Shadow out of his mind and he whipped his head up to look at his boyfriend.

"Pay attention" Vio reprimanded. He went on to say something else but Shadow's eyes had fallen on Vio's computer screen, which displayed a half finished crossword instead of the assignment they were supposed to be working on.

"Why don't you follow your own advice?" Shadow blurted out, and Vio's eyebrows furrowed in confusion before glancing down at his computer, which he slammed shut a second later.

Shadow let his familiar self-satisfied smirk fall onto his face as the tips of Vio's ears went pink.

"Well," Vio said after regaining his composure. "You look very smug,"

"Mmmhmm," Shadow hummed, leaning forward a bit in his chair until he was mere inches from Vio's face. "And what are you going to do about it?"

Vio rolled his eyes and before Shadow knew it, was pressing his lips to Shadow's own. It was over in just a second, but the brazenness of the kiss stunned Shadow for more than a few moments afterwards.

Shadow let out a contented smile as he watched his boyfriend return to his crossword. Man, he really loved Vio.

Listen to me Suzanne Collins did not have to give Katniss and Peeta a history before the games. She did NOT have to do that. She could have just had their story begin when Peeta's name was called. She could have had them be total strangers until the moment of the reaping.

Like: "And the boy tribute is... Peeta Mellark!" Katniss: Who's that? Or she could have made them vaguely familiar with each other! Peeta's name is called and Katniss just thinks, Oh, I know that name! He's in my class, actually. Poor boy... Anyway!

Either way, SC could have written the rest of the story exactly the same! I think many authors would have done that! Because if Peeta's purpose in the book was to be Gale's competition, to be one of the 3 corners of a love triangle, THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE WAY TO DO IT!! But that's NOT how she did it because that's NOT what Peeta is.

And who is he? To Katniss, Peeta's someone who saved her and her family and received nothing in return except a beating. Peeta's someone she has had her eye on but has never worked up the courage to talk to. Peeta's someone she associates with kindness and hope. And all this before the start of the events of the book! Just because WE, the READERS, met Gale before Peeta and immediately felt a connection with him does NOT mean that was Katniss's experience! And that's what SC is trying to tell us!

To dismiss Katniss and Peeta's past as unimportant or inconsequential compared to whatever Katniss and Gale have in the present is to fundamentally misunderstand Katniss as a character and, as a result, condemn oneself to never fully understand the choices she makes in the future.

Suzanne Collins wrote it that way on purpose because she had something to say. And no one will ever be able to convince me that something wasn't "It was always going to be Peeta".
