It was almost midnight when Four came to my room, the dim light made it hard to see, but I knew it was him just by the way he walked, proud, with confidence, but at the same time he didn't want to outshine anybody….
We had agreed that if I wanted to approve the second stage of dauntless initiation I will have to master my interventions in the simulations, and he was going to help me.
"Tris, wake up, we have to train!" he shout-whispered in my ear, making goose bumps appear in my whole body… why did he have that effect on me every time we were close?!
"Fine, fine, I'm coming, just give me a second." I knew the night was hot, and I decided to sleep in shorts, I was regretting it, right now.
"Would you mind?"
"What?"
"Turning around? I have to change."
"Really?" he game a long sigh and he rolled his eyes. "Fine, but be quick!"
He turned around and I grabbed my pants and put them on really fast, how did I do that? I guess I don't want to be seen almost naked, not even by Four.
"Done. Let's go before anyone wakes up…"
We made our way silently through the stairs and we had a little sprint toward the room where the simulations were handled. There were two syringes in the table.
"Are you going in my simulation?" I asked with confusion in my eyes.
"No, you're going into mine." He made it sound so simple…
"Really? Has anyone seen that before? Aren't you afraid?"
He smiled and turned towards me, I looked to the floor, I felt so ashamed for my intrusion, but it seemed like he wanted me to see… he reached his hand and grabbed my chin, making me look at his eyes… there was a mix of emotions in them, hope? Compassion? Knowledge? Whatever it was, it melted all my worries as he spoke without even looking at other way, his eyes were fixed on mine and even though it made me nervous, I didn't want it to end.
"Why do you think am helping you, Tris?" genuine curiosity in his voice "I'm helping you because I don't want you to fail, I want you to be here, with me… By the way, you are going to be the first one to see my fears, besides Amar, my instructor."
As he finished talking about his instructor, his eyes showed a bit of pain, and a lot of longing…
Sorry for making it so short but I promise the next will be better, maybe some fluff…
