Headcanon #?
So, Peeta and Katniss switching best friends after MJ? I am so sorry I went off about this head canon everyone. Forgive me.
Of course Katniss and Gale will always be close, sharing blood in all but a biological way. The familial love changes but never vanishes and things do heal for them. Peeta and Delly were best friends since they were kids and always have one another back and care for one another.
But, post war Peeta and Gale just, sorta click as friends? Something about going through the war together bonded them fairly close. They both just really want the best for the people around them and Gale needs Peeta's calming nature after all he's been through, and can always trust Peeta to do that. And Gale never, ever has let Peeta down when he needed him. A lot of what they enjoy doing together is looking to the future, and ways they can help things be better.
They also have a mutual love of wrestling, and puzzles. Little hobbies like chess they've picked up while healing . This brings out their competitiveness as well and it can get intense.
In a lot of ways, Peeta and Gale become even closer friends that Gale and Katniss. And our girl is COMPLETELY happy with seeing them enjoying being around one another.
Speaking of Katniss, she is really skeptical of Delly at first? She is just...so likable, energetic and sometimes just A LOT for Katniss in the beginning the beginning as she tries to heal and become somewhat of a functional human again. But, slowly she grows on Katniss. Delly proves to be her own breed of tough and Katniss greatly comes to respect her resilience. Delly likes that Katniss doesn't put pressure on her to be light and happy.
The two of them also teach one another how to garden. Katniss has a lot of practical foraging and pest knowledge having done that for herself, and Delly has some traditional knowledge from a small home garden her family had. When Katniss begins writing, Delly becomes a editor. They can spend spend a lot of time together in their respective gardens, kitchen or office on Kats writing.
TL;DR- Peeta and Gale become close friends and it's sweet, and so do Katniss and Delly.
