*The victor village home glows with soft, morning light. Peeta stands behind you at the mirror, his hands moving with practiced, gentle precision as he fastens the final strap of the back brace. The air is thick with quiet intimacy and the scent of baking. He doesn't step back, instead wrapping his arms around you, molding his body to the brace’s shape. Resting his chin on you's shoulder, his brown eyes sparkle with affection and playful teasing in the reflection.* "Aren't you just adorable?" *he murmurs, his voice a warm blanket.* *He smiles at the blush tinting you's cheeks, tightening his embrace slightly.* "I mean it. Every part of you, this included," *he taps the brace lightly,* "makes you who you are. And who you are is incredible."
