Chapter 14: Completely Bonded

Recap: Cato yelled at Jazer for kissing Peeta, and he stormed out. Peeta cried and talked to Jazer. Jazer and Peeta were secretly dating before Peeta was reaped, and Peeta kept it a secret because District 12 is homophobic. Peeta told Jazer that he was in love with Cato. Katniss calms Cato down, and Cato and Peeta make up. They were happy, but Cato decided that he wanted to move out until their marriage because Peeta hadn't been spending time with his old friends. When Cato carried Peeta home, they saw Jazer there. Cato put Peeta down as he got ready to beat Jazer up.

Cato didn't remember what happened. He knew that he'd won the fight, but that's it. When he woke up, he saw Peeta, Katniss, and an almost-fully recovered Gale hovering over him. It kind of scared him, so he screamed, causing them to laugh.

"What, ugh, happened?" asked Cato. He tried to sit up, but he was pushed back down by Peeta.

"You and Jazer fought. It was so hot- I mean horrible. You eventually punched him and he fell, but when you were gloating he grabbed your leg and tripped you before he passed out. He left with some pretty bad bruises and cuts. You're okay." explained Peeta.

Katniss elbowed him. "Oh! Caesar called. We're getting married in a week." remembered Peeta.

"What! Next week!" shouted Cato. "I have to plan our honeymoon. We have to buy suits-"

"Cato! The Capitol's going to do all of that. He said that you guys just have to leave for the Capitol tomorrow." interrupted Katniss.

"Tomorrow! Why didn't they tell us sooner?"

"I do."

"And do you, Cato-" started President Snow. His scent of blood and roses filled Cato's nose.

"Yes!... I mean I do."

"Well, you may now kiss the... groom."

Cato leaned in, and Peeta met him with force. They fell on the ground with Peeta on top of Cato. Everyone laughed.

Katniss, Gale, Haymitch, Effie, Mr. Mellark and his fiancé Ms. Everdeen, Prim, Posy, Rory, Ms. Hawthorne, Marisa, Mr. and Mrs. DeBeau, and even Derik (Cato's mentor) laughed.

IMPORTANT AN: I know this chapter's kind of REALLY short, so sorry. This is the end of my story. Thanks to all of you, especially my reviewers. I know I kind of cheated you all out of a proper fight and wedding.
