Always.
It was only on one of those stormy, cloudy nights that Tris would sneak out of the bed her and Tobias shared and go to the net that she had landed on when she first came to the Dauntless Headquarters what felt like so many years ago.
She would then climb on and lie in the centre, staring up at the raging storm outside through the hole, letting the harsh rain bite at her skin and face as much as it wished.
And then- only then- would she let herself cry over what had happened to her family and her people and everyone she had ever cared about.
She would let go of everything then and there, all of her anger and worry and sadness and despair, for under the cover of a storm she was safe to let her mask of the fearless new leader of the Dauntless Faction drop and just be the scared seventeen-year-old she was.
Of course this, the pain, the rage and the fear, wouldn't last long.
Eventually, Tobias would find her and hold her in his arms, kissing away her tears and taking his turn at being the strong one, just as she did when the nightmares of his father came back to haunt him.
Then, when things were calm again, they'd go back to their home in one of the winding sectors of the Dauntless Headquarters and sleep, only to wake up ready and willing for the chaos to build again.
This was how things worked and this was how things would always work.
Hello! As I'm sure you've noticed this is the first chapter of my new drabble series! I hope everyone liked this, as it's my first time writing a drabble series (which I feel every fandom should have) never mind the that this is the first time I'm writing in the Divergent fandom I would greatly appreciate some review telling me how I've done!
Anyway, I hope you all like this and will give me some feed back!
Bye!
