    Summary

    Lately, Merchants have taken to flirting with unwitting Seam folk as a joke, sometimes going so far as to ask them out on a date. I've even heard of a couple instances of a Merchant asking someone from the Seam to marry them, and then laughing hysterically when the poor recipient says 'yes'. So, when Peeta Mellark approaches me after the reaping, red with nerves and pushing his lips together as if he's trying very hard not to do something like laugh, I'm immediately wary.
    Peeta can't possibly be asking me to marry him for real.
    ... right?

    Summary

    For Prompts in Panem farewell tour Day 2: What if? What if Peeta and Prim hadn't been reaped? Inspired by the canon line ‘this would have happened anyway’.

    (Contains lines directly lifted from, and paraphrased from, The Hunger Games trilogy, as well as scenes from the books reenvisioned. 'cause that's kind of what fanfiction is. Thanks Susanne Collins.)

    Trigger warning: child abuse, canon-typical violence. Rated M.
