Background information

The war never happened, and obviously Tris didn't die. This story takes place around 1 year after initiation. Tris and Four are instructors.

*Tobias POV*

I wake up to the hum of Tris's breathing's as she sleeps. I get up quietly careful not to wake her, she looks so peaceful when she sleeps. I open the dresser door and pull out jeans,a black t-shirt, and a sweater. I suddenly feel soft hands on my waist.

"Good morning babe"

"Tris, did I wake you?" I say alarmed

"No, calm down silly" she laughs

She starts to kiss me but I pull away.

"I would love to stay with you all day but I have to get into the shower, choosing ceremony is in an hour and a half"

She pouts for a moment but then darts back into bed.

" C'mon it's so comfy just stay"

I walk over to her, kiss her and then walk into the bathroom. I finish my shower and realize I forgot a towel.

"Hey... Tris"

"Yeah?"

"Could you get me a towel"

"Okay"

She opens the door and gives me a tiny washcloth.

"Um Tris"

"Yes Tobias" at this point she's laughing uncontrollably

"I don't think this towel is big enough for me"

"Well if you need a bigger one you're just going to have to come out and get one"

"Trisssssss" I whine "We're going to be late"

"Okay okay fine"

She hands me a normal sized towel, and I dry off and get dressed. I step out of the bathroom and put on my shoes. Tris steps out of the bathroom in a tiny black skirt, crop top and 4 inch heels. My jaw drops when I look at her.

"Um hello? Tobias?"

"You look stunning. Why so dressed up?"

"I don't know to intimidate the initiates?" I smile, I do worry that the male initiates will look at her for more than just an instructor though.

We walk hand in hand to the cafeteria and sit down next to Zeke,Lynn,Will,Uriah and Christina.

"Hey, Tris" says Zeke with wide eyes. I glare at him and he looks down at his plate blushing.

"Hey, Tobias and I are taking the transfers right?"

"Yeah" Christina answers "Zeke and I will have dauntless borns"

*Time Skip*

After the choosing ceremony

We lost a handful of dauntless borns but gained a good bit of transfers.

Once everyone had jumped down I begin my yearly speech.

"Welcome to Dauntless, there will be three stages of initiation Stage 1 is combat, Stage 2 is hallucinations to see how well you do in frightening situations, and stage 3 is fear landscapes, you will face all you fears at once, I am Four and that is Six" I point to Tris

Two Erudites start bursting out In laughter

"Four and six like the numbers? We're letters not good enough?" Derek says Barron laughs again. I grab them both by the collar of their shirts.

"I think you went the wrong way Candor is over there" I spit out. They both are shaking from pure terror, I let go of their once nicely ironed blue shirts.

"Okay, Initiates follow me to the dorms" Tris starts "This will be your home for the next few weeks, the dorm is co-Ed and so are the bathrooms." I look over at the initiates and see a look of disgust on their faces I try and hold back a laugh. I see Quinn and Barron looking at Tris and smiling I try not to glare at them. Tris and I decided we wanted to keep our relationship a secret until they all figured it out.

"Ok so if there aren't any questions were done here" I say to them. I make the mistake of walking infront of Tris and as we're walking out I see Derek come up behind Tris and slap her ass. She puts him into a headlock and punched the side of his head.

"DONT FUCKING TOUCH ME!" She screams at him. She angerily storms out of the door. I glare at Derek in his bleeding face before running after Tris.

"Tris! Tris come back" I run to catch up with her

"Stop! I'm going to Max, this happened during initiation and I can't take it anymore I'm going to ask for a place at the fence!"

"Tris calm down, I won't let that happen, I will protect you"

"I don't need your protection Tobias" she weeps " I'm supposed to do this by myself I'm supposed to be dauntless"

"You can't always be prepared to things like that, Tris, Erudite boys are Erudite boys"

" I know, but it makes me feel so.. so weak"

" You are not weak" I scold her. I hate to see her this way, and I'm sure she does too she's never vulnerable. I lean in to kiss her but she moves.

"Not now Tobias, I'm just going to go to bed " she says weakly

"Oh, okay"

She walks toward the stairs to our apartment. I stay there hurt, did I say something wrong?
