I know this prompt has been done A LOT but this is my version. So Read, review and enjoy . Also, I don't own anything at all.
"Tris, Tris" Someone shakes me awake. I groan and roll over, trying to go back to sleep. "I know you're tired, but today's Choosing Day, remember?" The voice says. I moan again and open my eyes to my husband.
"Ugh, sorry about that. I'm just really tired lately, I guess." I yawn, rolling out of bed. I peck him on the lips, and move to the dresser to find something to wear for today. I find a black shirt that shows my tattoos, black leather pants and black combat boots- the more intimidating, the better.
"Yeah, have we even slept at all in the last three days?" Tobias smirks at me.
"You certainly didn't seem to mind last night. In fact, I distinctly remember you saying, and I quote, 'Tris, this is the best night of my life. You are the best wife in the history of the world!'" I grin slyly, then reach down towards the hem of my tank top that I slept in and pull it off. I chuckle when I see his jaw drop. And when I try to put the clean shirt on, he stops me.
"Nope, you can't just flash me and expect to get away with it like that!" He gently kisses me and moves me to the bed, not breaking the kiss. After a few moments, I remember reality, "Tobias, let's wait till tonight. We really have to get down there"
He shakes his head and kisses me some more. It's tempting to just ignore work and just stay here with him but we should really get going "Tobias, I'm serious. Eric will kill us if we're late."
That seems to damper his mood a little, "Fine, I'll be in the shower."
I sit, panting for a few minutes. How could he still take my breath away after all of this time? I've been married to him for a little over a year, and dated him for two whole years before that. It is amazing what love could do to a person.
When we're both finally dressed and ready to go we head down to the cafeteria to meet Christina and Will.
"So, are you guys excited for the new initiates?" Christina asks all of us.
Before any of us get a chance to reply, Eric comes over to our table. "Four, are you planning on sleeping with any initiates this year?"
Tobias rolls his eyes and puts an arm around my shoulders "No, I think I'm good, thanks." To this, Eric just walks away.
"No kidding, I bet even if Tris left him, he still wouldn't even acknowledge any other girl in the entire universe" I hear Will murmur into Christina's ear.
Tobias glowers at Will and pulls me closer to him. "It's true" He whispers into my ear.
Christina gags. "Okay, ew. Alright, I might as well head down there now. I've got the Dauntless borns, right?" She asks Tobias and I.
"Yep, you and Will have got them and Tris and I will handle the transfers." Tobias says, winking at me.
Christina and Will just roll their eyes and head down.
"We should probably head down too, we shouldn't be late on the first day." I say after we finish breakfast.
Tobias nods. "We probably should, but-"he takes my hand and pulls me into an empty closet in the hallway. He slams the door behind us and crushes his lips against mine.
"I thought you didn't… like… small spaces?" I ask, trying to remember my name.
"I feel much better about it when I'm with you."
I chuckle, kissing him again. "You know, pretty soon we're gonna have to call you Three"
"Haha. Tris, as much as I love this, and you. We…should…probably head down there. Damn Tris, stop distracting me!"
I grin, glad that I have that kind of effect on him. "Yeah we should. C'mon, let's go." I say, holding out my hand to him. He takes it eagerly, opens the closet and we walk down the hallway, hand in hand.
"So, since this is my first time training initiates, got any suggestions?" I ask him, swinging our arms.
"Follow my lead, you'll be fine." He kisses my forehead and leads me to Christina and Will at the net.
"Who do you think the first jumper 'll be?" Christina wonders aloud. Her question is answered with a shriek. An Erudite boy suddenly appears in the net.
Tobias offers him a hand. I'm having flashbacks, already. "What's your name?"
"Walter" The boy says. Of course, typical Erudite name.
"First jumper, Walter!" Tobias calls.
Pretty soon, all the initiates are down on the ground, and it's time to begin.
"Alright, initiates. Dauntless born, go with Christina and Will, transfers you're with me and Tris. We'll show you around the Dauntless compound. My name is Four, by the way."
Just as Christina once did, a Candor boy blurts "Like the number?"
The other initiates chuckle at this, and the boy looks smug. Like somehow making everyone else laugh meant that he was the greatest thing that ever lived.
I glare at him and before Tobias can respond, I frankly say "Candor, this might be a surprise for you, but you transferred to Dauntless. Not everyone passes initiation, you know. So, my advice for you, if, of course you want to remain here, is to shut your mouth."
They quiet down immediately. I'm proud of myself. I'm a short, weak girl and yet I still managed to be intimidating. Tobias nods at me, praising me for a job well done. It's funny, even though we're married and it's been years since he was my trainer, I still look to him for approval on some things.
As we walk to the Pit, I study the transfers. They mostly consist of Candor and Erudite. A small, Amity girl stands in the back of the line we've sort of made but to my dismay, no one from Abnegation decided to transfer to Dauntless this year.
"Alright, now this here is called the Pit. It's basically the hub of life here at Dauntless. You-"Tobias is interrupted by an Erudite girl waving her hand at me and Tobias.
"What?" I ask, sharply.
"Is there a bathroom anywhere? I was so nervous that I didn't get to go this morning." She says.
I look at Tobias, unsure of how to handle this situation. He glares and demands "What in the world made you think now was the right time to ask that? No wonder Erudite wanted to get rid of you, you wouldn't have been smart enough to stay. But, of course, since you already interrupted us, I'm sure Tris would feel honored to waste five minutes of her life to take you to the bathroom." He gestures to me, and I turn and walk out the door, the Erudite girl in my tracks.
That was uncalled for. I get trying to act tough so the initiates won't take advantage of you but to be down-right mean to a girl who did almost nothing wrong was unnecessary.
"I'm sorry about him." I apologize to the girl "I don't know what that was about"
As I turn to look at her, I can tell she's holding in tears, determined not to let them slip out.
"It's fine. I shouldn't have said that, sometimes I say things without really realizing I said them." She says.
Uh oh. An Erudite-born girl who acts like a Candor and transferred to Dauntless, could she be divergent? For her own sake, I really hope not.
She uses the bathroom and we start heading back to Tobias and the rest of the initiates.
"Hey, what's your name?" I ask her.
"Lillian, why?" She asks, hesitantly.
I look around to check that no one is in hearing distance of us.
"Lillian, what were your test results?"
"Inconclusive, why?" It shocks me how she doesn't even hide that information. Thank God that I figured it out before anyone else did.
"Did anyone ever tell you not to share that information with anyone?"
She shakes her head, no.
"Alright, well I am now. Don't tell anyone, no one. Not the other initiates, not your parents if they come for visiting day, and certainly no other adult. If you have a question you can really only trust me or Four. I'm serious about this. Do not repeat that to anyone. Usually, we can figure out if someone is divergent in a simulation that happens later in training. You're lucky though, that I figured out that you were now, who knows who you might have told in that time frame. Do you understand?"
She nods, "But how do you know Four is trustworthy?"
"He was my trainer and he's one of my best friends. I'm very close to him. I know he seems scary now, but just don't do anything that might get you on his bad side and he'll like you a lot." I leave out how close we really are. That might be a sign of weakness.
When we finally get back to the Pit, they're all sitting and waiting for us. "Just take your time walking, Erudite. We were so not just sitting here waiting for you to get back." He says to Lillian.
"Hey, Four? Lay off." I say sternly, glaring at him.
He relaxes immediately, completely terrified of making me afraid of him. "Alright, let's keep going." he says, leading us toward the Chasm.
At the end of the day, after we showed them the entire complex, including the dorms, where they are now, we finally head back toward our apartment.
"Tobias, I'm going to ask you a question but you have to promise not to be mad." I tell him, leaning into his side.
"Ok, I promise."
I take a breath, not sure how to approach this. "Why were you so mean to that Erudite girl, Lillian today? She started crying on her way to the bathroom."
He tenses immediately and I feel a twinge of regret for telling him that. He beats himself up so much over not wanting to become like Marcus, and here I was, practically telling him how much he hurt someone.
"What she said was inappropriate for the time, and she needed to learn that."
"But you weren't as mean as you were today with Christina or me or Peter when you trained us! I know that because I'm pretty sure if you treated us like that, I probably wouldn't have liked you as much as I did." I admit.
He smirks "I could be a little nicer I guess. But only a little."
He smirk is so unbelievably attractive that I have to kiss him. He makes it easy for me as he's already leaning down to talk to me. My lips meet his and we kiss passionately, lovingly right in the middle of the hallway. After a few seconds we break away, panting.
"I love you, Tris."
"I love you too"
