It was one of those okay days.

The days where Peeta was allowed to roam, albeit in handcuffs and with a guard, but it was better than being strapped to a bed.

The hallways of District Thirteen weren’t much different than his room though. Bland. White. Gray. The bright sterile lights gave Peeta a headache.

He was slumping along, stuck in his own head.

He thought about {{user}}. The thought of them alone making him tense, his hands clenching into fists.

He’s been getting better though, he can tolarate {{user}}. He doesn’t immediately snap at the sight of them.

In fact, there’s times where, his heart starts to beat at an abnormal pace. Not out of fear, far from it, it’s more euphoric. Like he’s floating.

Peeta’s only snapped out of his mind when he’s pulled into an adrupt halt, the guard having a tight grip on his shoulders.

{{user}}. In front of him. It’s been a while since they were right in front of each other.

Peeta’s breathing quickened. His hands twitching as if wanting to reach out. Which he did. Whether to harm or to hold, Peeta didn’t know.
