he shook his head a little. "for a while, you hated that about me." he admitted smiling a little as Gale flushed harder. "yesss." he hissed through gritted teeth, glaring at Peeta's candy but taking it anyway. he didn't like Peeta much, but was nice to him because he thought Katniss was in love with him. "after the group interviews your going to have Training Days." Peeta admitted shaking his head, choking as he was nearly dragged out of his seat and pulled into a tight hug, hugging her tightly as he closed his eyes. "come on now Chickadee." he complained smiling at her. "i can't breath." he complained, Gale scowling, jealous but not saying anything but it wasn't his right, or his place and because he knew Lea and Peeta didn't see each other as anything but siblings. "eat." Peeta ordered, Gale sighing as he started to eat, and then got dressed, this time they where in black spandex which made their emaciated bodies look slim instead of unhealthy. Gale looked like the muscle bound idiot that he was from working in the coal mines. the red streaks that was supposed to symbolize fire, made his muscles look even firmer, his belly flatter, and it just made Lea look like the sexy goddess that she was.
Cinna appeared a half an hour before they had to leave, and did their makeup, Gale was horrified, but he let the other do it. black eyeliner made Gale look dark and menacing. he had absolutely refused to let Cinna put the black lipstick on his lips, and actually bit the man when he tried to force the issue. at least Leanne had red lipstick, blood red and beautiful. they where as ready as they could get, and Gale stared at Leanne with a dry mouth, offering her his hand. "...i won't let anything happen to you." he promised softly, staring at her, smiling at her a little. "i'll protect you, no matter what." he promised softly, giving her a slow, lingering kiss, Cinna gaping, the women who worked with him gushing at the affection, and Gale ignored them all, smiling at Lea. "my little Spitfire..." he teased kissing her forehead, before going with her to the elevator. "...i hate this thing." he grumbled. "it's like the ones in the mine..." Peeta grimaced. "i hate the Elevator too." he admitted stepping inside and pushing the button to take them to the interviews. this was either going to be good... or very, very bad...
