Date Night - Peeta

Peeta had never been more excited yet nervous for today as he was just then. He thanked his planning and after asking Tara out to the museum had made sure that he could steal his mothers car for the day. Luckily she didn’t have work and was just going to be at home cleaning, so it had been no problem at all. After talking to her about it, and promising that nothing was going to happen, he agreed to pick up the car before he headed over to Tara’s house. He just thanked his vampire speed that he could be at his house in no time at all, and without breaking a sweat. But while getting ready for what was too come, he was a little lost. He was just glad that he did have friends that could help him out. His brother’s suggestion had been less than helpful. He had ignored him and opted for the help of Summer. He knew the girl had pretty good taste, and considering they shared classes together he figured it was the best option.

She had helped him got through his closet, holding up various clothes to Peeta before laying everything he should wear out on the vampires bed and wishing him luck before going back to her own dorm, muttering something about needing to find Reid. So now he stood, about an hour before he had to pick up Tara, staring at the clothes on his bed. He had already showered and styled his hair, hoping that when he ran to his mom’s house it wouldn’t mess up too badly. He went to run his hands through his hair, but stopped halfway up and instead went to twirl the ring around his finger instead of messing up his hair. But when he realized it wasn’t on he resorted to continuing to stare at the clothes. After a moments hesitation he pulled on his shirt and pants. He walked over to the mirror as he pulled his belt through the pant loops and then started tying the tie. He looked at himself and smiled slightly. Summer did have good taste and he was glad he went to her.

Before leaving his room, he grabbed his wallet and slid it in his back pocket, grabbed his phone and put it in his front pocket, slipped the tab necklace over his neck and tucked it into his shirt, and slid on his daylight ring. He quickly stepped into the shoes he chose to wear and tied them before heading out the door and starting the trek to the front of the school. It only took a few minutes before he was at the front of the school and he looked around for a couple seconds before breaking out into a full run. He kept to the shadows to make sure that none of the humans would see him as he ran to his moms’ house. And while the walked would take a normal person 15 minutes, he was there in only two. He grinned as he walked into the house. ”Mom?” He waited a second before hearing her call out from the direction of the kitchen. As soon as he stepped into the kitchen, his mom was pulling him into a hug; he barely was able to wrap his arms around his mom before she was pulling back. Peeta knew that if he was still human he’d probably have been blushing as she pushed him back slightly to take a good look at him.

“Cade! Come in here for a minute.” At this Peeta gave a small groan and dropped his head with a smile. It was a few moments later when his dad was walking into the kitchen as well. Cade gave Peeta a quick pat on the shoulder and walked over to Elizabeth before wrapping his arms around her. “Looking good son.” Elizabeth just grinned and leaned her head against her husband. “Our little boy is all grown up.” This caused Peeta to try and hide the grin that was threatening to take over his face by rolling his eyes. ”I’ll look this way for forever. Not really going to grow up.” And while before when the vampireness was brought up awkwardly, Peeta was glad to see Cade give a laugh at his son. Peeta took a glance at the clock on the wall and then back to his parents. ”Alright. Well I have to go. Supposed to be at her house in ten minutes.” His mom nodded and stepped forward, grabbing the keys to the Sonic off the counter. “Yes, we won’t hold you any longer.” She paused slightly and hesitated before speaking again. “Be sure to be careful driving through the mountains. Those roads don’t have lights and get dark at night. Not only that but they are very windy.” She gave a small smile to Peeta as she gave him the keys. ”Don’t worry. I will. We’ll take our time and try to get back before it gets too dark.”

Elizabeth only nodded and this time Cade stepped forward and grabbed a coat hanging off the chair. “I see you didn’t bring a jacket. Though you may not really feel the cold, you should act like it’s cold. You can take mine. I only wear it for special occasions.” Peeta nodded and shrugged on the coat before giving his parents another smile. He pulled them both into a hug, ”Thanks a lot. Really. Thanks.” They only smiled at their son as he stepped back. With one last look at his parents; he headed out the door and to the car. He got in the car ad plugged in his phone, using the GPS on it he punched in Tara’s address and started his trek over there. It was only a few minutes later that he was pulling up to what he assumed was her house. As he got out of the car he took a deep breath before walking up the door and giving a solid knock. He was about to take out his phone and send her a quick text that he was here, in case no one else was here, when the door was opening up. He pocketed his phone and looked up with a smile but paused when seeing a guy open the door.

The guy on the other side of the door looked Peeta up and down before holding out his hand. “So you must be Peeta?” Peeta nodded as he shook this guys hand. ”Yes I am. Nick, right?” Nick nodded as well as he let Peeta’s hand go and crossed his arms. “Yes. Tara’s twin. So you are taking her to the museum?” Peeta only nodded and went to speak when Nick was stepping forward slightly. “I swear. If she gets hurt in anyway, I will come after you. Tara is one of the sweetest girls in the world and she’s my sister. She only deserves the best.” He looked at Peeta with a slight glare and for a moment Peeta was taken aback. He quickly swallowed and looked back at Nick. ”I have no intention of letting her get hurt. I swear to you, she will not get hurt when she’s around me.” And oh how true that would be. Peeta was willing to do anything to make sure not a hair was harmed on Tara’s head.

Nick must’ve seen the full truth behind Peeta’s words as a couple seconds later he was smiling widely and stepping back again. “That’s good to hear. I’ll go get her. You are welcome to come in and wait for her.” Peeta gave a quick sigh of relief as Nick invited him into the house. That made things so much easier. He watched Nick head up the stairs and when he was out of sight, Peeta hesitated only a moment longer before stepping inside. He took this time to glance around as he tried not to hear the conversation. And although he couldn’t hear anything after the initial knock on what he assumed was Tara’s door and Nick saying, “Your dates here.” He turned his head to the stairs when he heard the footsteps start heading towards them.

As soon as Nick had walked into his sisters’ room, he was assaulted with her questions about asking if she had looked all right. And Nick being Nick had just smiled at his sisters’ antics before assuring her multiple times that she looked beautiful. But this was his sister so his words probably weren’t as good as Peeta’s would be. Of course before she had ran out of her room, she had given him a hug and Nick hugged her back before watching her walk down the stairs and to Peeta. Meanwhile, as soon as Peeta saw Tara walking down the stairs, his eyes didn’t leave her. She looked stunning. She had asked him a question, but instead of answering it, he stated something else.

”You look amazing.” But then her question seemed to register in his mind and his eyes widened slightly. He was glad he couldn’t blush, as he’d probably be doing that right at that moment. He ran his hand over the back of his neck as he cleared his throat. ”No. It was super easy. You don’t live that far from my parents actually.” His eyes caught Nick’s who was standing at the base of the stairs and raising an eyebrow at them. But his attention was snapped from Nick as Koda ran in and jumped on Tara. Peeta saw her balance wavering and he reached out slightly to make sure he could grab her instead of letting her fall. She seemed to get her balance though after a couple moments and then Koda was coming over to him.

Peeta gave a small smile before reaching down and petting the dog behind the ears. ”Hey boy.” After Koda was happy with the affection, he disappeared back to where Peeta assumed the kitchen was as he heard the dog start munching on food. Peeta gave a small chuckle as he smiled back at Tara. ”Of course. I wouldn’t mind that at all.” He paused a moment before looking at the time on a nearby clock. ”If we want to get there on time we’ll have to leave. Are you ready?” He glanced back at Nick one more time and then waited for Tara’s reassurance that she was ready before heading out of the house. He heard Nick call out to them telling them to have fun. He made sure to open the door for her to get in, and then waited for that to happen before closing the door.

He took another glance at the house, and just as Nick was closing the door he gave Peeta a look. One that just screamed that he better be careful. Peeta nodded to Nick before walking around the car. As he slid in the drivers seat, he buckled his seat belt before backing out of the driveway and heading to the place. As he drove, he turned to look at Tara slightly. ”Your brother is…nice?” He couldn’t help but give a small laugh after saying that. Sure Nick probably was, but Peeta was just seeing the protective side of him.
