A/N: Hey! So I had my fantastic friend's help with this story. She read Halloween Inspiration and then I told her I wrote it. She was super excited and then said that she wanted to write one with me, so here we are. I'm typing and she's brainstorming. So, this was her idea to have this be a Tris and Tobias story and so now it is. Hope you enjoy! Thanks!

AMM and Friend (VRF)

~Tris's POV~

This week, Tobias has been acting weirder then normal. On Monday, after lunch, Tobias took me back to the apartment. We just talked, but when it came time for me to go to the tattoo parlor and for Tobias to go train initiates, he stopped to give me my normal kiss goodbye, but he kept running his tongue along my lips. I wasn't sure what to do. I opened my mouth and his tongue immediately sought out my tongue. I pushed my tongue against his, almost trying to force it out of my mouth when he started pushing back. It was hot and intimate…. and everything I'm afraid of. I didn't mind it but it was odd. It wasn't…. like him to do something like that. We've never been that intimate and just for a goodbye kiss? It was flat out strange.

On Tuesday I didn't see him very much, but Wednesday when we got home from busy day at work, he was unusually flirtatious with me. I mean, sure. We've flirted before, but he was doing if a lot and making it intimate then it usually is. He would kiss me when I was in the middle of saying something and then pull back as if nothing had happened and waited for me to continue.

Then on Thursday (yesterday) he was fine again. I saw him at lunch and when he had a break he came to see in the parlor since it had been a slow day and he was like my regular Tobias; sweet and shy and not to "out-there". But now it's Friday and I think it's time I try to play his little game.

I'm making apricot chicken, simple but delicious. It's something Tobias loves and I decided it's a good way to start playing back. Suddenly I hear the front door open and hear Tobias yell out, "Tris, I'm home and I smell apricot chicken!"

Oh yay, he noticed! Phase 1, complete!

"Hey," he says, walking in the kitchen. "What's all this for?" he asks, eyeing the room.

"Oh, nothing." As I silently smirk to myself. " I just felt like you deserved this. Here, come here and sit down. Dinner just needs to be brought in." I say, pulling his chair out.

He walks over slowly, eyeing me suspiciously. "Nothings wrong, ok?"

"Alright, if you say so."

"I'll be right back." I say and leave the room. I quickly grab the chicken and dash back towards the dining room. I put Tobias and mines plate on the table and then I walk behind him. He tenses, but I start massaging his shoulders. He immediately relaxes and leans back in his chair. I look over his head and see his eyes are closed and he has a small grin on his face. He's obviously enjoying this. "Does this feel ok?" I ask as I press into the knots on his shoulders. I hear him grunt and then make a humming noise in delight…? I can't tell.

"Why are you acting so strange?" he asked me after I finally sit down and begin to eat.

"I just feel like you need to relax. Why are you acting so strange?" I shoot back. He looks at me as if he's about to say something then closes his mouth as if deciding against it. After that we finished our meal in silence.

After dinner he abruptly stands up and starts clearing the table. I'm about to help when I hear a knock on the door. I look through the peephole and see Christina standing there. I open the door, great her and she says, "It's time for a shopping trip, you have some explaining to do."

I turn around and see Tobias standing in the doorway to the kitchen, giving me a questioning look. "Can I go?"

He just swift nod of his head and leaves the room. "What's his deal?" Christina asks, her Candor side showing through by not keeping her voice down at all.

"Christina!" I whisper-shout. "He can hear you." I grab her hand and leave the apartment.

Once we get to the mall, I ask her, "So, what do I need to explain myself on?"

"You need to repeat the story you were telling me in the cafeteria today."

"Where did I leave off?"

"You left off with how he was acting fine yesterday."

"Oh, then I finished the story. I just decided that 2 people can play this game he's wanting to play." I say siting down at one of the tables. Christina sits down across from me and looks at me with a smirk.

"What?" I ask, avoiding her gaze, not liking the trouble in it.

"You need to get laid, girl." She stands up. "We are going lingerie shopping so that this game you two are playing comes out with you as the winner." I feel my cheeks start to heat up at how loud she is being. I stand up and grab her hand, dragging her behind me. "Chris! Seriously?! What are you doing? Trying to draw unwanted attention to us?"

"Of course not! I just want to make sure you win this game and when you to finally do "it" you will come out on top….if you know what I mean." She says, suggestively raising her eyebrows. I roll my eyes and feel myself get dragged into the lingerie shop.
