Hello. My name is XBrain130, and this is my first fanfic about Divergent. Until now I only wrote about an anime called Yu-Gi-Oh!. It's quite different from this. There wasn't any official pairing, so I'm not used to this much success for a couple. But it's great.

I greatly enjoyed all three main books (which I read in the span of three nights each), but I didn't read the Tobias' spin-offs yet, nor watched the movie. During Allergiant, I actually cried, starting from where Tris dies and until I finished it. I know it's a sad, bittersweet finale, but I think it was absolutely epic. So, since I usually try to follow the canon in my fics, I will not revive Tris (come on, she was cremated!)

You read right. This is TrisxFour story with Tris dead. I hope you will enjoy it. I discovered this fandom only recently, I didn't read any of its fics yet. So, if you're reading this and you wrote something similar, let me say I absolutely didn't copied you, nor I could.

That said, I hope you enjoy. Ops, I said that 2 times XD


TOBIAS

Right now I'm laying at the couch of my home. Evelyn left a few minutes ago to buy something for dinner. My eyes wander through the room aimlessly. I'm thinking about her again. Today, exactly 3 years passed since her death. So, today I'm in a gloomy mood. I wonder how would be our lives now, if that bastard of David didn't shoot her. Would her and Evelyn go along, or they would argue endlessly like often daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law do?

I remember that time she told me how he faced me in her fear landscape, and what I promised her. Some thoughts start floating in my mind. Would we have had sons? And then, I realize something. If David would have not killed her, she would maybe have been influenced by the memory serum... what if she would have forgotten everything? I don't know if I could bear her having her memories of me deleted.

I shake my head to dispel everything from my mind. I focus only on her smiling face. Her big eyes. I close mine.

I jolt up when I hear the sound of the doorbell. It can't be Evelyn. She has the keys. Reluctantly, I get up, and I go to open the door. I instinctively look away when Caleb appears in front me. «Hello Four.» he says. «Hello.» I reply huskily. «Can I come inside?» he asks shyly seeing my perturbed expression. His hushed tone reminds me for a moment of the Abnegation. «Okay.»

He silently enters, and sits on a chair near the couch. «...these three years have been long for you... didn't they?» he begins with caution. I know he's trying to not hurt me, but still he manages to. «Yeah...» He makes the face one would do when is stinged. He evidently still feels guilty. «...I came here... to give you a gift.» he murmurs as he searches something in his pocket. He pulls out the hand, and when he opens it, it contains a phial. Inside, there is a bright-yellow liquid, radiant like the sun. «Don't worry, it's not what it seems.» he jokes, but with a prudent voice.

I gingerly take the small container between my fingers. «It's something I worked on lately in my free time. It's a mixture of a small part of fear serum, and peace serum. It creates something like a simulation, but instead of one's fears, it shows what it most joyful for them.» I can practically feel my eyes lit up. «However, it has a rather weak power, so it works only if the subject is in a state of calmness, or when is asleep.» For the first time since he entered, I look in his eyes. «Do you mean this thing makes pleasant dreams?» I ask with a strange sound in my voice. He nods. «Quite, but the fear serum part makes them very realistic.»

I found myself staring into the small tube. «I know what are thinking. And yes, it is possible.» He puts a hand on my shoulder. «This is to repay you. I know you will forever hate me, but, I hope this will relieve the thing.» He turns, and starts walking towards the door. «Make good use of it. If you want more of it, please do not hesitate to contact me.» That said, he opens the door, and disappears.

. . .

I keep the serum near me for the rest of the day. Finished the steaks, I found Evelyn rising an eyebrow at me. «Tobias... what's that thing you're turning over between your fingers since I came back?» I look up at my mother. «A gift by Caleb. He says it brings good dreams.» Her other eyebrow raises as well. «Ooh.»

We stare at each other for a minute, then I look out of the window. Finally, the sun is setting. I was waiting this, like, forever. «I think today I'll go to bed early.» Now, she's looking at me like she was shocked. «Wait. Are you the real Tobias Eaton? Because he normally spends the night melancholically watching action movies before falling asleep on the couch!» she says with a worried-like voice, but I know deep inside she's teasing me. I stuck out my tongue. «I just feel sleepy this evening.» I lie. Actually, I never felt this nervous. At least, not in the last 3 years.

. . .

I stare at the liquid creating golden sparks of light as I sit on the bed, Evelyn already on the verge of falling asleep. I think that I know what I would dream by drinking that stuff. But, I remember Tris' (her name still causes me a bit of pain inside the chest) uneasiness ever time we were close to do that. Even if she is a simulation in my head, I refuse to force her. So, I drink only a small sip, so to start easy with her. I shut off the light, and I lay on the bed. I can hear Evelyn's ronfs. I close my eyes, and to calm myself, I try to remember her heart rate that time she saw my fear landscape, when we were sealed in the box. I take a few deep breaths. It gradually slows down, and a smile creeps on my face as I prepare myself to meet her again.

My dear little Beatrice.


Okay, the 1st part ends here. If you like the premise, please review and fav, and eventually help me in enhancing my writing style. If this story gets some love, I'll maybe write more for Divergent.
