Yes, Katniss kisses Gale in The Hunger Games trilogy.
While their relationship is complex and evolves throughout the series, there are several significant instances where Katniss and Gale share a kiss:
- In The Hunger Games, Katniss kisses Gale after he returns from a dangerous hunting trip, demonstrating their deep bond and affection.
- In Catching Fire, Katniss kisses Gale before she leaves for the Quarter Quell, seeking comfort and reassurance.
- In Mockingjay, Katniss kisses Gale after the war, expressing a sense of relief and shared victory.
However, it's important to note that these kisses are often fueled by a combination of physical attraction, shared trauma, and a sense of comfort and security. Their relationship is ultimately complicated by the presence of Peeta, and the choices Katniss makes throughout the series demonstrate that her feelings are not solely focused on Gale.
While the kisses between Katniss and Gale are significant, their ultimate fate remains ambiguous.
