Tris POV
I reached out small, dainty hand to push the 'off' button on my alarm clock, the buzzing died down till only the ringing remained in my ears. I groaned and turned to face Tobias, his deep blue eyelids momentarily fluttered before his gaze locked on me.
"Morning," He said, pulling me towards him. I wriggled out of his grasp after planting a kiss on his cheek, and slipped off to shower.
I couldn't believe that initiation was over, I could now finally relax now,after my place in dauntless was secured. I sighed, imagining the rest of my life in a place I love with people I love, I couldn't be happier.
After wrapping a towel around myself, I let myself into the room I shared with Tobias. He was sat on the end of our bed, his dark hair still messy from sleep, in a black top. His beautiful features lit up the moment I entered the room.
"Hey gorgeous," He said, wrapping his arms around my tiny frame, and pushing his lips to mine.
"Mmmm" I replied against his mouth, before pulling away regretfully to get ready for the day. There is the choosing ceremony today, where we will find out which initiates we will get to train throughout the rest of the year.
I opted to get a job training the initiates like Tobias and Christina. She chose to train the dauntless born, "more action" she said! I was mainly drawn to the position as it would mean spending more time with Tobias, but that is a secret I have no intention of sharing.
I flicked through the clothes in my wardrobe, normally I don't care about that, but I know Christina won't be happy if I wear my usual clothes which normally consist of skinny jeans and one of Tobias's t-shirts. I picked out the dress she had bought me when we were initiates, it showed off the tattoos on my collarbone. Three ravens, one for each member of my family I left behind. No matter how much I love it here, and how much dauntless headquarters have become my home- I can't rid the memory of them. Picturing Caleb here is absurd, but is it wrong that I still hope it will happen?
I shake my head, there is no point in wishing for things like that, I don't need him- I am happy with what I have. I reach for the eyeliner, tracing a line around my eyes- mimicking Christina's movements. Then after stepping back to look in the mirror, I sigh and smooth down my blonde hair, which has now grown so it sways loosely down my back in gentle waves and curls.
The door clicks breaking me from my thoughts, I snap my head around to see Tobias enter the bathroom, with a half grin tugging at the corners of his mouth.
"You ready?" He questions, lacing his fingers through mine. I nod in response, blushing as he plants a kiss on my forehead before leading me out of our room.
We reach the train tracks just in time, I hear the hum of the oncoming vehicle increasing as it nears our position. The dot in the distance grew, until it was time to release Tobias's hand and break into a light jog beside the tracks. He jumped first, grabbing the hand rail to pull himself up. I watched as the muscles in his arm flexed and grew under the pressure. I was so entranced by him I began to slow without realizing it. Blushing, I picked up the speed and grabbed his hand so he could haul me into the train car. The force and momentum was so much, I ended up crashing into him and landed on his lap with one leg on either side of his, staring into his humoured eyes. He chuckled as I blushed furiously, I couldn't help but feel that he had done it on purpose, I swung a leg over so I was curled up in a ball, with his arms around me, and my face buried into his shoulder to avoid the amused glances of the crowd on board.
After my breathing had steadied and my face had cleared, I peaked out from behind Tobias's shoulder, I saw Christina sat in the corner across from will, they were chatting and laughing. I liked to see love, it caused a warm feeling to spread all over my body. I sighed and rested my head on Tobias's shoulder. He took my hand into his and kissed it before absentmindedly tracing circles on my palm.
When we drew near the destination, people began to rise and start to jump, I regrettably had to leave his side, now only touching by our hands, which stayed entwined throughout the jump. We began to walk towards the ceremony. Suddenly, Tobias froze. His eyes unblinking, staring forward. His hand grasped mine with an iron grip, his body shaking all over. The colour in his face drained, and he became as white as a sheet.
"What is it honey?" I murmured into his ear, I hadn't seen him like this since that day in the back at dauntless headquarters, when we entered his fear landscape and we saw... we saw... Marcus. I followed his gaze until my cold glare met its target, there he stood, his cold black eyes facing us.
