The 'love triangle' in The Hunger Games was not the point of the book in choosing a boy. Katniss said it herself she could survive just fine without both of them.
THE HUNGER GAMES LOVE TRIANGLE WAS ABOUT WHICH SIDE SHE WOULD CHOOSE AFTER THE WAR. PEETA WAS THE PEACEFUL, HOPEFUL SIDE AND GALE WAS THE SIDE FULL OF FURY AND VENGEANCE.
THAT is why Katniss doesn't choose until the very end, because until the war is over she is confused what will happen and what string of emotions will take place in her.
She needed someone who was hopeful like Peeta, so she chose the side of compassion and peace over the side of fury.
It was never about a love triangle

c/w: ANGST ANGST ANGST!!!!!! your heart will break, glass breaking, mental breakdown, crying, idk if theres more but dw it's a fluffy ending
The death of Primrose Everdeen was the worst thing to ever happen to Katniss.
Katniss tried and tried again to protect her all for her to die in the very end. All her best efforts had ended in vain; she had finally lost the one person she wholeheartedly loved. The one person who reminded her of innocence.
It was hard for you to see Katniss bottle up her feelings. It had been a few days since you both had come back to District 12 in the Victor's Village.
Katniss had not opened up one bit but you weren't surprised. You've know Katniss your entire life and you knew she thought that emotion was 'weakness'. She also know you had loses as well; she wanted to be the strong one.
You were both sitting on the couch; you were reading whilst Katniss was staring blank ahead, seemingly in deep thought.
"Katniss."
She didn't look your way. You slowly touched her hand, startling her before she sighed.
"Katniss, how are you... how are you feeling?" You whispered. You'd been holding off this question since you'd gotten home. You didn't want to suffocate her and she needed time. But you were worried.
"Fine, Y/N. Just tired." She said, her voice monotone. You looked unconvinced but she gave you a tired smile. You sighed and nodded.
"Okay, you can take a nap. I'll be right upstairs, okay?"
She nodded as you walked away and she took you up on that offer, falling asleep on the couch.
Not even 5 minutes go by and she hears some clattering in the kitchen. She got up slowly, walking into the kitchen and Prim's cat, Buttercup.
Her heart dropped, her body becoming suddenly tense as she looked at the cat. It meowed.
"She's gone." Katniss said sternly. The cat meowed again, making Katniss become upset. "Get out."
"Get out! She's gone!" Katniss had become overwhelmed with emotion, taking a glass and throwing at the orange cat. "Prim is gone!"
You heard the shouts from downstairs, making you jump and you ran downstairs, your heart beating fast and you feel like you're back in the war again. You saw Katniss throwing the glass and you ran to her.
"Katniss!"
She ignored you, taking another glass and throwing it at the cat. "She's dead! And she's not coming back!" She screamed, her eyes and face red with emotion at this point. You tried your best to hold back a sob as you saw your lover in so much pain.
You grabbed her arm as she screamed, "Get out! Get out!"
The cat, surprisingly, was still in the house, stubborn. She immediately leaned on the counter as she sobbed. You grabbed her shoulder and she turned around, leaning into you as she sobbed harder and harder.
You put a hand on her face, watching as her lips tremble and her eyes puffy with tears. You embraced her tightly, caressing her hair slowly as you shushed her. "I'm here, I'm here, it's okay. I'm here, I'm with you."
Your presence calmed her as she took some deep breathes. "You're safe with me honey, don't worry. I'm here. You don't have to be brave with me, okay?"
She moved her face into your neck, sniffling as she embraced you. You felt her calm more and more as her breathing became more normal. You kissed her head comfortingly. "I love you, Kitty."
She let of your embrace, looking back at the orange act, her lips trembling once more.
She started petting it as it meowed again, leaning into her touch. She then grabbed it, hugging it as she started to cry once more. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
You then turned her around, grabbing her face and wiping her tears with your finger. "You didn't do anything wrong."
She knew that you didn't mean with just with the cat. She knew that you knew that she felt guilty for Prim's death. As she surveyed your face and your eyes, she was suddenly met with an intense feeling of gratefulness.
She was thankful for whatever higher power had sent you to her. She knew that she wouldn't have survived with you. She leaned in, pressing her lips against yours in a tight kiss.
"I love you." She whispered. You smiled as you looked down and pet Buttercup, looking back up at Katniss.
"I love you, too, Kitty."
