This is my first attempt at a Divergent fic so please be kind - constructive criticism welcome :) sorry it is so short! I intended for it to be longer but thought that what I have written fit the song well.
This fic is based on the song All of you by John Legend please go check it out (Jasmine Thompson also does a stunning cover) I think this song perfectly describes the fourtris relationship and the way the coherently get along together.
Disclaimer - I do not own The Divergent Trilogy that amazing world belongs to Veronica Roth, I also do not own All of me that is John Legends
"What's in it for you?" She asks timidly trying her hardest not to make eye contact with me.
"When we had dinner together on that first night I thought you had cheek talking to me like you did - I thought you where being a smart mouthed Candor - but something about you intrigued me, drew me in. You had all my emotions confused - all over the place. Before you arrived I was going to leave but you gave me a reason to stay. The way you held yourself in those first few hours made me wonder what was going on in your beautiful mind, why had lead to you leaving Abnegation"
Tris sits across from me still trying not to look into my eyes, the only thing I can do is reassure her. Tell her all the reasons I want her. She shouldn't be asking 'what's in it for me?' I should be asking 'what's in it for her?' Who wants a broken guy ad a boyfriend?
"I'm not half as pretty as the other girls here in Dauntless, I don't have amazing curves, a pretty face. I don't deserve you." She eventually says with tears starting to make their way down her pale skin.
My heads clouded, underwater wanting to break free. Tris is crazy to think she doesn't deserve me, I must be out of my mind thinking I deserve her. I take her face into my palms, wipe away the tears and turn her head to make her look at me.
"All of me loves all of you Tris, everything about you. The way you look, way you dress, all those perfect imperfections. Do I have to keep reminding you, I even think you are beautiful when you are crying, angry, tired. You need to stop listening to what everyone else tells you, I'm here for you whatever you are feeling. Your my weakness Tris, my downfall, my worst distraction - have you seen me try and avoid you when I'm teaching, I can't. I can't let you go Tris you have to understand, you are crazy thinking that you don't deserve me, it's more like I'm out of my mind thinking I deserve you!"
"I love you, everything about you. If you give your all to me, I'll give my all to you. You are everything to me, my beginning and end. I cannot lose this, what we have you're my everything."
As I finish she moves in closer and captures my lips with hers. It isn't rushed; it's slow full of meaning, demonstrating the love we both have for each other. She tenderly pulls away and looks into my eyes.
"Thank-you Tobias I needed to hear that, I cannot explain how much that means to me" she whispers before capturing my lips again. Insecurities long forgotten.
