Okay so it's been a while since I've written anything on here so I might be a little rusty but I'm going to try my best. I've got a couple other ideas besides this one that I'm going to try and work on so watch for those and leave me some feedback. I now this idea has been used a lot but I really like it and wanted to try my hand at writing my own. It's a no-war story so all characters but Al are still alive. Canon pairings.
Disclaimer: I own nothing
Tris POV
Initiation has ended and I have now been a member of Dauntless for around six months now. Things between Tobias and I are going extremely well. Since I have gotten over my seventh fear, intimacy, we have been throwing around the idea of living together, although we may as well be now since we spend nearly every night together anyway. We basically live in two apartments since we both have stuff at the others place and switch off where we sleep each night. However, we have not made it official yet, or even discussed whose apartment we would live in for that matter.
After initiation we chose our jobs. I chose to help train the new initiates and to work in the tattoo parlor, which is where I am now. I am in the middle of drawing a flaming skull on a rather large man's calf when I hear my name being called.
"Tris? You here?" It's Christina.
"Yea, just a minute!" I answer back.
I finish up the man's tattoo and cover it with a bandage before walking out front to find Christina sitting in a chair flipping through a book of tattoos.
"Looking for some new ink?" I ask jokingly.
She puts the book down and laughs before replying "No, not today. I actually came to ask you something."
"Okay…"
"Don't act so scared. I just wanted to see if you and Four would be interested in coming over to Zeke's place tonight. He's inviting everybody over for a game of 'Candor or Dauntless."
I have absolutely no idea what that is, but, at risk of letting my Abnegation show, I nod. "Sure, that sounds fun. I'll let To- Four know. What time?"
I watch Christina's face to see if she noticed my slip but she seems unfazed as she says "We're all meeting at five."
I nod again and say " Okay, see you then."
She waves and says, "See you", before leaving.
The rest of my day is uneventful and as soon as my shift is over I set out to find Tobias. Figuring he is already finished in the control room, I head to his apartment. When I reach the door, I don't even bother to knock and just walk in. I look around but I don't see him anywhere so I go across the room to his bedroom.
I peek my head in and have to stifle a laugh. Tobias is laying across his bed, limbs splayed out, head hanging off the side and his mouth open while he snores, and he's wearing nothing but his boxers. I bite my lip to hold back my laughter and tiptoe across the room. As gently as I can, so as not to wake him, I climb onto the bed so that I am over top of him. I lean down and lightly kiss neck, his jaw, his cheek, his forehead, his nose, and, finally, his lips.
Tobias stirs slightly beneath me, opens one eye for a second then rolls over. One of his legs catches mine and I topple over, almost falling into the floor. I huff and come up with a new tactic. I climb off the bed and head for the kitchen. I come back with a glass of ice water. I stand off to the side in case I need to make a quick escape. I toss the water over him and he shoots up off the bed, wet and sputtering, muscles tensed like he's ready for a fight.
"What-Who-Tris?! Why?!" He stammers, water dripping off him onto the floor.
I giggle and answer, "Well, I tried to wake you up nicely but that didn't work so I had to come up with something else."
He relaxes and tries, and fails I might add, to give me dirty look. He crosses his arms before saying, "And you though pouring ice water on me was the best idea?" He attempts to sound stern but it doesn't work.
I hold back my laughter at his poor attempt to scold me, and shrug, "Yep." I say simply.
A devilish grin spreads across his face. "Well," He says, "That's going to cost you dearly because now I will have to pay you back."
"I'm not scared." I say simply, watching as he walks to the dresser to retrieve clean clothes, muttering something along the lines of "a man can't even take a nap in peace". I giggle and plop down on the bed as he pulls a simple, black, long-sleeved shirt on and then struggles to pull on black jeans. I burst into a fit of laughter when I realize why he's having so much trouble getting them on.
He stops trying to tug the pants on and looks at me. "What's so funny?" he asks.
Through my laughter I answer "Tobias, when people say 'get into her pants', I don't think they mean to do it literally."
He looks down, realizing his mistake. His cheeks burn bright red as he quickly discards the pants and grabs another pair, carefully inspecting them to make sure they are actually his and not mine again.
"That is why you need your own dresser." He states. I had my own drawer in his dresser, but sometimes, like now, things got mixed up.
"I have my own dresser." I answer, lying back on the bed. "It's just not in this apartment."
"Well, maybe you should move it into this apartment…"He says almost like a suggestion.
After a moment I realize what he is getting at and sit up, with a smirk on my face and say, "Tobias Eaton, are you asking me to move in with you?"
He smiles and sits next to me, taking my hand in his before saying, " Yes, Beatrice Prior, I am asking you to move in with me."
"Are you sure? I mean, that's kind of a big step…"
"Well, we've been talking about it for a while, and we practically live together now anyway, so why not make it official?"
I smile and lean in to press my lips to his before saying, "Okay, then, yes, I will move in with you."
He grins and kisses me much harder than I did him. "I love you." He whispers, touching his forehead to mine.
"I love you too." I say back.
"Should we start moving your stuff?" he asks.
I laugh before answering, "Well, Mr. Eager, normally I would say yes, but we already have a prior engagement. "I glace at the clock. "And actually, we're late."
He frowns, leaning back. "A prior engagement?"
"Yes, I kind of told Christina that we would meet her and everybody at Zeke's to play Candor or Dauntless…"
"Hmm…okay I suppose we could do that then." He smirks. "If you think you can handle it."
I narrow my eyes, "Of course I can handle it…but…um…what is it?"
I expect him to laugh but he doesn't. He instead he simply says, "Well, someone will ask you Candor or Dauntless and if you pick Candor you have to answer a question truthfully, and if you pick Dauntless you have to do a dare. If you refuse, you have to remove an article of clothing."
I nod. "That doesn't sound too bad." What did I get myself into? "But we better get going before Christina comes to hunt us down."
Tobias kisses me once more before standing, pulling me up with him. While he puts on his sneakers, I pull on a baggy, black sweatshirt to give me an extra layer for this game. As we are walking hand in hand to Zeke's, I realize the reason the sweatshirt is so baggy is because it is Tobias's, not mine. I smile to myself, but he doesn't notice.
We reach Zeke's door a few minutes later. I expect Tobias to knock but instead he just walks right in. Upon entering we are greeted with the sight of, Christina, Will, Uriah, Marlene, Shauna, Lynn, and, of course, Zeke.
"It's about time!" Christina exclaims.
"Yea, we were starting to think we would have to come find you and pull you two apart or something." Uriah jokes.
I roll my eyes as Zeke says, "Yeah, thankfully we didn't have to do that because I for one did not want to see Four's naked ass."
Tobias and I both blush as he says, "For your information, we were both fully clothed."
"Then why are you so late?" Christina asks, the Candor in her coming out.
I sit next to Tobias in front of the couch as I answer, "Four was sleeping and didn't want to wake up." I notice him roll his eyes at me.
"Okay, well, now that everyone is here, let's get this party started! I'll go first." Zeke says, rubbing his hands together and looking around the room. "Hmm…let's see…baby brother, candor or dauntless?"
Uriah rolls his eyes, "I am not your 'baby' brother, and dauntless."
"Okay, I dare you to…sit in Four's lap until your next turn." Zeke grins.
Uriah's eyes widen and he looks at Tobias, who looks a little nervous as well. He fingers the hem of his shirt for a moment, contemplating, before getting up and crossing the room to sit on Tobias's lap. Everyone can't help but laugh at how uncomfortable they both look.
"Okay, my turn." He says, trying to sit absolutely still and not touch Tobias more than he already has to. "I pick…Christina."
"Candor." She answers.
"Pansycake!" He shouts as we all roll our eyes. "Okay, what is one of your fears?"
Christina hesitates for a moment before answering, "Moths."
Will, Tobias and I already knew this so we are not surprised but everyone else looks at her with confused expressions.
"Okay my turn!" She says, before anyone can ask questions. "Um…Tris, candor or dauntless?"
"Um…dauntless." I answer nervously.
"I dare you to…stand in the middle of the room and show everyone your underwear." I stare wide-eyed at the evil grin on her face, fingering the hem of my sweatshirt. I don't want to chicken out of my first dare, but I also don't know that I want everyone to see my underwear. I look at Tobias out of the corner of my eye, he is trying to get Uriah, who is leaning back into his chest and apparently no longer embarrassed, to take his head off his shoulder. His expression is unreadable.
"What's it going to be, Stiff?" Lynn sneers.
That comment is what provokes my next action. I get up and walk to the center of the room, everyone's eyes on me. I shakily unbutton my jeans and slide them down to just below my hips, allowing everyone in the room to see my lacey, dark red panties, my face close to the same shade. I hear a whistle from behind me. I know it is Uriah when I hear a hand- Tobias's- collide with a skull, and him yelp. I quickly yank my jeans back up and hurry back over to my spot next to Tobias. He offers me a small smile while Uriah rubs the large, red handprint on the side of his head. I can't help but notice he looks a little uncomfortable, and so does Uriah, who is now sitting straight up again and trying to avoid touching Tobias. I have to fight back a smile when I realize why. Apparently the sight of my underwear was a little much for Tobias.
Everyone is quiet so it takes a moment before I remember it is my turn. I lift my head and look around. I pick my victim easily. "Lynn, Candor or Dauntless?" I ask, hoping she will choose dauntless.
"Dauntless, duh." She says.
An evil grin spreads across my face as Tobias leans over to whisper an idea in my ear.
"Hey, no giving ideas! That's cheating!" Zeke shouts.
"He wasn't giving me ideas." I lie.
"Oh really? Then what did he say?"
"I really don't think he, or everyone else for that matter, wants know." I try to look embarrassed while Tobias just smirks. Zeke shakes his head. I turn my attention back to Lynn. "Okay Lynn, I dare you to go streaking through the pit."
Lynn frowns, looking down at her shirt. After a minute she lifts it over her head. "Not going to happen." She says matter-of-factly. I'm a little disappointed but at the same time I feel a small burst of pride that I didn't chicken out and she did. Lynn looks around the room before settling her gaze on Zeke. "Zeke, candor or dauntless?"
"Dauntless." Zeke says like it was already obvious.
"Okay, I dare you to…let me put make-up on you and paint your nails."
Zeke shrugs and stands. "Okay." He follows Lynn out of the apartment while the rest of us sit and make small talk until they return a few minutes later. The whole room bursts into laughter at the sight of Zeke. His nails are bright pink, and he has blue eye shadow, black eye liner, bright red lipstick and pink blush. I'm not sure but I think he even has some mascara on.
"Yeah yeah, laugh it up." He rolls his eyes and returns to his seat. He looks around before settling on his victim. "Four."
"Yes ma'am?" Tobias smirks.
"You'll pay for that one. Now pick your poison."
"Candor."
"Chicken." Zeke sneers as Tobias shrugs. "What's your real name?"
Tobias shrugs off his jacket and tosses it to the side. I knew he would not answer that one. He does not even look around the room before choosing. "Uriah."
"Finally!" Uriah exclaims. "Dauntless!"
"I dare you to sit on Zeke's lap until I say otherwise."
"Oh come on! Really?" Uriah makes a disgusted sound before peeling off his shirt and going to sit by Marlene, arms crossed. I can't help but think he looks like a pouting child. He looks around, glaring, before settling his eyes on Shauna. I notice Zeke tense up, worried Uriah will get revenge on him through Shauna. He grins. "Shauna, you know the question."
"Dauntless." She answers without a second thought.
Uriah rubs his hands together and lets out an evil laugh. Zeke narrows his eyes at his younger brother. "Careful baby brother," He says. "You do anything bad to her and I'll get you back ten times worse."
Uriah rolls his eyes, obviously not threatened. "Shauna, I dare you to…let me shoot a muffin off your head."
Zeke's eyes widen as Shauna stands. I think she is going to take her shirt off but instead she says, "Okay, lets do it."
Uriah grins and jumps up, throwing his fist in the air. 'Yes!" He leaves the room, I assume to find a gun and a muffin. I thought he would go to the training room but apparently in here suits him just fine.
"Have you lost your mind?" Zeke asks Shauna.
She laughs and shakes her head. "It'll be fine. I trust his aim."
"It's not like he hasn't done it before." Marlene chimes in. I had almost forgot she was here.
"That doesn't make me any less nervous." Zeke groans.
Uriah comes back then, a muffin one hand, a small gun in the other. He tosses the muffin to Shauna, who catches it easily and goes to stand by the wall, placing it on her head. I notice Zeke close his eyes as Uriah stands in front of her, raising the gun and aiming. He closes one eye and fires. Everyone is silent, watching as the muffin fall to the floor. He grins as Zeke opens his eyes and lets out a sigh of relief. Shauna smiles and pick up the muffin, placing it on the counter next to where Uriah placed the gun. She makes her way back to her seat but is stopped short by Zeke, who gently grabs her wrist and pulls her down into his lap, wrapping his arms securely around her while she smiles and kisses his cheek.
Shauna looks around before settling her gaze on Marlene. "Mar, candor or dauntless?"
Marlene thinks a second before answering, "Candor."
"Pansycake!" Uriah yells, which earns him a punch in the arm from her.
"Okay," Shauna starts. "Who do you have a crush on?"
Marlene blushes a bright crimson before lifting her shirt off. It is clear to everyone who she likes, Uriah, but she must not be ready to admit it. She gazes quickly around before making her choice. "Will. Candor or Dauntless?"
"Dauntless." He answers.
"Alright, I dare you to…kiss the next person who walks by."
Will shrugs and walks to the door and opens it a crack, Christina following close behind. I'm not sure if she's going to witness or out of jealousy. A moment later we hear light footsteps coming down the hallway. Will steps out quickly and we hear scuffling, silence, and then a slap. He comes back in grinning, a bright handprint on his face. Christina follows, glaring daggers at his back. When the return to their seats, she whops him over the head with a pillow she took from the couch.
"Hey!" He exclaims. "What was that for?! I was just doing my dare!"
"I know that!" She says, hitting him again. "But did it have to be her?!" A third hit.
Will snatches the pillow away and tosses it to the other side of the room. "Mar said next person, and she was the next person."
"I'm almost afraid to ask who it was…" Uriah chimes in.
Christina punches Will in the arm before saying, "Well, tell them then!" Another punch.
Will grabs her wrists and holds them securely. "It was Lauren." He says it like it was no big deal, but beside him Christina is seething with anger, trying, and failing, to pull her hands free so she can hit him again. Will pretends not to notice and looks around to choose his next victim. "Four." He decides.
"Dauntless." Tobias says, he almost sounds bored.
"I dare you to…get Tris's name tattooed on you." He looks proud of himself.
Tobias looks to me, waiting to see my reaction. I shrug. "Your skin." I say.
He nods and stands. "Any specific place?"
Will thinks before answering, "No, I'll let you choose that."
We all follow Tobias down to the tattoo parlor but only I follow him inside. I wonder if he will have me do the tattoo or ask someone else. I get my answer when he walks up to Tori and tells her what he wants. I follow them to the back and watch as Tobias takes a seat and rolls up his sleeve, exposing the underside of his forearm. Tori gathers the equipment and gets to work, Tobias never once flinching. A short while later, she is done and he hold his arm out to show me the finished work. 'Tris' is scrawled in very curly writing from his wrist to about two inches below the crook of his elbow.
"What do you think?" He asks.
I smile. "I like it."
He leans in to kiss me but is stopped by Tori coming back to bandage his arm. As soon as she is done, we follow everyone back to Zeke's apartment. We have barely sat back down when everyone is asking to see his new tattoo. He carefully peels back the bandage to show them. He receives a few nods of approval and some "looks good" before recovering it and sitting back, throwing his arm around my shoulders. "Well," He begins, "I believe it's my turn now." He doesn't even bother to look around the room, as already knows who he will pick. "Tris. Candor or dauntless?"
I groan and answer "Dauntless." His devilish smirk reminds me of his promise to pay me back for earlier and I instantly regret my choice.
"Alright. I dare you to…" He starts. This is not going to end well.
Okay so originally I planned on this only being a one-shot but then it just started getting really long and I kept getting other ideas for it so I think I will attempt to make it an actual story but I'm gonna need some ideas because to be honest I don't have that many yet. Also, if you guys have any truths or dares you'd like to see let me know and I'll try to put them in. If I use your idea I will try to make sure to mention who gave it to me. Thanks for reading! Don't forget to review!
