Tris POV
I woke up with Tobias's strong arms wrapped around me. I glanced at the alarm clock. It read 8:30, which meant we had to get up and moving.
I shook Tobias awake. "Five more minutes," he groaned, and fell back asleep.
I shook him again. "Come on Tobias. It is 8:30, and we have to get up."
He sat up and dragged me to his chest.
"Hello there beautiful," he said sleepily. I laughed as he pulled me closer and pressed his lips to mine. We sat there for a while, his soft lips against mine, but I eventually pulled away. "We have to get ready," I said. "Remember? We're training initiates today." I smiled.
We finally got up, and since we showered the night before, we went to go change. I put on black ripped jeggings, a dark red shirt, and a black jacket over it. Tobias came out wearing a black shirt with matching jeans.
I had picked a job yesterday, and since job picking was based on ranking, I was the first person to choose. I decided to train transfer initiates with Tobias.
We met Zeke, Uriah, and Christina at the dining hall, where they were already eating breakfast.
I stopped by them eating. "Hey guys. Four and I are going to go get some food then we'll come back." I said. I always called Tobias Four in front of our friends, since the name Tobias related him to Marcus, his dad, who was the person who caused his, uh, rough childhood.
We went into the line and grabbed cake, and muffins. If there's one thing I love about Dauntless, it's the cake.
We sat back down at the table, Tobias sitting next to me, as we ate our food.
"So what jobs did y'all get?" Zeke asked. I guess he must've forgotten.
"Well, I'm training transfer initiates with Four," I said.
"I'm designing clothes at Dauntless Dare," Christina said.
"And I'm working in the control room with you, Zeke," Uriah finished.
I checked the time on my phone. It was nearly 9:00, which meant Tobias and I had to get going, as the first jumper would be jumping into the net soon.
Tobias got up with me. "We have to go to the net now," I told them. The first jumper will be coming soon." I hugged Christina as I left. "See you guys later," Tobias said.
Just as we got to the net, the first jumper came plummeting down. I helped her out, and asked for her name. "You can change it," I said. "But you can only change once. So pick wisely."
She put it into thought, then told me "Ava. Candor."
Since all the initiates were there, including Dauntless born, I yelled out: "FIRST JUMPER: AVA, CANDOR!" When a riot of cheers erupted, I saw Ava blush.
When the rest of the initiates jumped, we counted them out. We had 18 initiates: 8 from Candor, 5 from Erudite, 3 from Abnegation, and 2 from Amity. We went on to introduce ourselves, and then we had to give them the tour of the dauntless compound.
Tobias put on his instructor face and voice, and yelled out: "TRANSFERS!" they stopped talking and laughing to listen to what he had to say. "I'M FOUR, AND THIS IS SIX!" he pointed at me. "WELCOME TO THE DAUNTLESS COMPOUND WHERE YOU WILL BE LIVING, EATING, AND TRAINING. AFTER YOU HAVE BEEN TRAINED IN 3 STAGES, WE WILL RANK YOU." He said, but before I could begin the tour, a Candor transfer yelled out, "Why are you ranking us?"
"What is your name?" Tobias called out.
"Alex…" he said quietly.
"Well, Alex, when we rank you, you have to get a certain number or above to stay in Dauntless, based on how good you do. If you don't do well, you become factionless. Okay?" he finished.
"Um, okay," the initiates mumbled, worried looks on their faces.
Tobias nodded to me to go on with the tour. I put on my instructor face and voice, and yelled out to them. "I'M SIX, AS FOUR SAID, AND I WILL BE GIVING YOU A TOUR OF DAUNTLESS COMPOUND. LETS GO." I led them to the Pit. "THIS IS THE PIT. THIS IS WHERE YOU WILL EAT, TRAIN, AND IF YOU WANT DIFFERENT CLOTHES BESIDES WHAT WE PROVIDE YOU, IT IS ALSO WHERE YOU CAN GET MORE CLOTHES," I said.
I led them to the dorms, and waved my hands at the beds. "THESE ARE THE DORMS, WHERE YOU WILL SLEEP."
I led them to the chasm. "AND THIS IS THE CHASM!" I yelled. "ONE FOOLISH JUMP, AND YOUR LIFE IS OVER." The initiates looked kind of scared, but I wanted them to be intimidated by me and Tobias.
I scanned my eyes over the group of them. "TRAINING BEGINS AT 6:00 AM SHARP TOMORROW! FOR NOW YOU GUYS CAN GO THE PIT, OR GO TO THE DORMS AND CHANGE. BYE!" I grabbed Four's arm and led him towards the dining hall to eat. For a second the initiates just stood there, confused, but slowly they branched out and left.
"Where are we going?" Tobias asked.
"The dining hall," I said. "Don't you want to eat something?"
"I was thinking I could just cook at the apartment," he said.
"Okay then," I said.
He led me back to the apartment, where we sat down. I gave him a big hug from the side, breathing in his scent. He smelled like sweat and soap, and I breathed it all in.
He hugged me back and asked, "What do you want me to make?"
"I don't know," I said. "How about mac and cheese?"
He laughed. "Mac and cheese it is then."
Tobias went to the kitchen to start some boiling water, and I decided to change out of my clothes. I grabbed a pair of dark gray sweatpants, and changed into them. I walked over to Tobias's closet and grabbed one of his shirts. I took mine off, then slipped his on.
I suddenly felt Tobias grab me from behind, then flipped me around to face him.
"What are you doing?" he asked, smiling at me.
"I just wanted to wear one of your shirts…" I said. "Should I not?"
"It's fine. I don't mind." He said and pushed his lips to mine. He stroked my long hair, and leaned into my body. I jumped up and wrapped my legs around his waist, and draped one arm across his neck, the other across his muscular back. He gently moved his hand up my shirt, and started traveling to the bedroom. He sat down with me still wrapped around him, and started to move down my face. He kissed my jaw, my neck, and moved down to my collarbone. I tugged at the hem of his shirt, and he paused to yank it off, and I did the same with mine. My hand moved across his abs, marveled and how rock hard they were. I was now just in a plain black bra and my sweatpants, Tobias still in his jeans.
He stopped and stared up at me. "Do you think that water is boiled by now?"
I laughed. "Probably. You should go check on it." I unwrapped my arms from his body, and he got up, still shirtless, to go check the water as I grabbed his shirt I had taken from his closet and put it back on.
I got up and went to the kitchen, where Tobias was adding elbow pasta to the boiling water. I got the cheese from the fridge, and handed it to him, and he put it in once he drained the soft pasta.
When it was done, he put some in two plates, one for him and me. He gave me my plate and we went into the living room to watch a movie while we ate. When we finished eating, I leaned into his side and he wrapped his arm around me, and I soon fell asleep cuddled against him.
