I do not own Divergent or any of the characters. Although I wish I owned Four...
Please read and review!
I practically skip back to Tobias' room bursting with happiness after the initiation ceremony. I still can't believe I ranked first. Who would have a thought the short, skinny girl from Abnegation would come top. Certainly not me.
Tobias left the ceremony just before the end, something about a headache. Although I really know it has something to do with his dislike of celebrations. That is his Abnegation showing through. Back in Abnegation we were encouraged not to have celebrations as it was too self indulgent.
When I finally reach his door I freeze. All the memories from just before my initiation come flooding back: our heated kisses, Tobias' bare back and I suddenly feel nervous. I attempt to gather up my nerves as quickly as possible and store them away, hoping they won't come racing back. I knock timidly on the door and all my worries disappear instantly at the sight of Tobias stood in the open doorway. When he sees me he gives me that crooked smile that I love so much and I can't help myself when I reach up and give him a quick peck on the cheek.
"Hey." I say when my heels reach the floor again. I'm so short in comparison to Tobias I can hardly reach his jaw without standing on my tip toes.
"Hi." He replies leaning down for another kiss. He kisses me softly on the lips and my breathing begins to quicken. This isn't enough for me though, so my hands reach up behind his neck bringing him down closer to me, automatically deepening the kiss.
Too soon Tobias pulls away. "I'm so proud of you Tris." He says cupping my cheek in his palm. I lean into his hand and close my eyes, totally content. "Not that I ever doubted you, of course" At that I giggle and open my eyes to find his staring deeply into mine also.
"I'm sure you didn't." I reply smoothly.
We stay stood out in the hallway, holding each other for a while before I ask "Well, are we going to go inside your room?" Tobias chuckles but steps back into his room pulling me in after him. I walk over to his bed and perch on the edge as he makes his way over to me. I watch him as he walks over and wonder how I ever deserved such a man. You can see his muscles flexing and contracting under his tight fitting black t-shirt and his dark hair ruffled slightly from our kiss. My eyes find his as he sits down next to me and I think I may have forgotten to breathe.
"What are you thinking about?" He asks as warmth fills my cheeks.
"Just how breathtakingly handsome you are. And how you ever ended up with someone as plain as I am." He sighs and encases both my small hands in one of his.
"Never think that you're not good enough for me. You are definitely not plain. You're brave and strong. You're beautiful, and I love you just how you are." My heart wells up at what he just said but he doesn't give me time to reply before he continues. "Besides, shouldn't you be thinking about how you beat Peter and ranked first overall? I'd say you've earned a congratulations from me." A smirk appears on Tobias' face and I think I know what he really means.
"And how are you going to congratulate me then, Four?" I don't give him time to question my use of his nickname before I close the remaining space between us and join my lips to his. His hands reach for my hair holding me to him before they move further down my body as I play with the hair at the nape of his neck. I can feel warmth radiating from wherever he touches me and I moan into his mouth. This encourages Tobias as he gropes at my sides and pushes me down onto the bed. Our kiss heats up and I can feel him all around me. If even possible, I pull him closer to me, my body taking control.
I know I need to stop before this goes too far, but I just can't find it in me to control my desires. My hands move to hem of his shirt and trail slowly under spreading onto his stomach. I feel him groan into my mouth as he deepens the kiss. I move my leg over his hip and shift so I am now straddling him and his hands slide to rest on my hips. Tobias unexpectedly breaks the kiss and when I open my eyes I see his searching mine; for what I'm not sure.
"We should stop." Tobias announces as the lust in his eyes begins to fade.
"Yeah." I agree. Sighing I roll off Tobias and onto my side, facing him. He wraps his arms around me and I rest my head on his shoulder breathing in his musky scent. His smell always comforts me. Always makes me feel safe. Just the presence of Tobias makes me feel safe now though. Ever since Peter, Drew and Al threatened me and Tobias came and stopped them, I related him to safety.
Tobias breaks the silence first by asking if I want to go to the party that follows the initiation ceremony. It is hosted by one of the initiates usually, but everyone is invited. This year my Dauntless-born friend, Uriah, is hosting it. Tobias tells me it normally involves drinking and other… Things… But he says it's always good fun and that you don't have to drink. I don't understand why he is bringing this up though because I know how much he would rather just stay in his room.
"Do you want to go?" I ask him, curious to hear his answer.
"If it means I can spend that time with you, then yes." I smile relived that he also can't stand the idea of being apart from each other for too long.
"Let's go then!" I exclaim practically jumping off the bed and racing to the door. I give myself a once over before realising I should probably change into something more suitable than my loose pants and tank top. "Meet me at my room in about 15 minutes, OK? I just need to have a shower and change first."
"Of course." He replies smiling. I quickly kiss him before swiftly leaving his room. I race down the corridors, practically running into about 20 people on the way. I am just thinking over what I am going to wear when I bump into another person.
"Hey! Watch where you're goin-" Christina stops mid sentence when she realises it's me.
"Sorry Christina, I was just on my way to get changed. You're going to the party, right?" I hope she is. It would be nice to have someone other than Tobias there that I know and trust.
"Of course, Will and I are going together! Isn't that great?" She giggles with excitement. It's nice to see Christina and Will together; after all they are two of my closest friends.
"Yeah, that's fantastic! I guess I'll see you there then?" I say quickly, dying to have a shower and be ready before Tobias gets there.
"Yeah, see you soon Tris!" She says before she heads off the opposite direction and I set off at a sprint.
I reach my room in no time and close the door before stripping and stepping into the shower. I always love showering; it's a good time for thinking. Although most the thinking I do is about Tobias… I think about my family too, as the hot water soothes my muscles.
Once I've finished I step out and wrap a towel around myself before walking over to my closet. I have no idea what I'm going to wear. I need something that is sexy but casual. Something that Tobias will love. I search through my clothes until I settle on wearing a black dress with low lying sleeves, so that you can see my tattoos, and holes cut out at either side of the dress.
I am just contemplating over what make-up to put on when I hear the door open. Tobias steps in looking extremely attractive in jeans and a very tight fitting top, his hair still wet and I can't help but stare. I finally pull myself together and stand up so he can get a better look at what I'm wearing. His jaw instantly drops and his eyes scan over my entire body, making me feel self conscious.
"Do I look okay?" I ask in a very high pitched voice and sensing my nervousness he strolls over and pulls me to him.
"You look irresistible. What are you trying to do to me?" I smile, relieved that he likes what I'm wearing.
"I was just wondering whether I should put on some eye make-up and heels…" I say more to myself than him.
"You look fine without any more make-up. In fact you look more than fine. I think we should hurry up and get to the party though. I'm changing my mind just looking at you." I giggle. Wow. He certainly knows how to drive me crazy. I almost tell him that we should just stay here and not go. But that would be silly. It's time we relax and this is the perfect way. So I quickly slip on some black heels and apply some red lipstick and a bit of eye liner before turning back towards Tobias, who is in exactly the same place that I left him.
"Okay then. I'm ready. Let's go!" I say, excitement building up inside me.
We walk together, fingers interlaced, on the way to Uriah's new dorm. We were given our new, temporary dorms during the initiation ceremony. Mine just happens to be not so far from Tobias' which is quite convenient. We don't talk much on the way there, but it doesn't matter because the silence feels comfortable between us. I can feel Tobias' thumb rubbing soothing circles onto the back of my hand.
So that's the end of my first chapter! PLEASE review! This is my first fanfic, infact my first time writing and I want to know if I'm any good and if I should carry on! Thanks!
