Chapter 2
A/N: This starts in Tobias' POV so don't get confused!
Disclaimer: I am not Veronica Roth, and I do not own the wonderful phenomenon known as divergent.
Tobias' POV:
"Who are we missing?" Uriah asks no one in particular. The next second there is a knock on the door and Zeke jumps up to get it. As the door swings open everyone, and I mean everyone, in the room gasps. "Woah, Tris you look hot!" Zeke says to her. Standing there in the doorway is Tris and she looks, wow! I need to extend my vocabulary range I think to myself, as I have no words that can describe how amazing she looks. Behind her is Christina, smiling with a smug look on her face, obviously proud of her work. They both walk into the room and Tris comes straight towards me, sitting with me on one side of her and Chris on the other.
Tris' POV:
As the door swings open I hear loud gasps coming from inside the apartment. I look down blushing a deep red, I hate attention. I quickly walk into the room and head towards Tobias, as Zeke says something about how I look. That just makes me blush even more. Chris follows in behind me, and plops herself down next to me, wearing a massive grin on her face. I look around the room and everyone is here, Shauna, Lynn, Will, Chris, Zeke, Uriah, Marlene and Tobias.
"Okay, so now that everyone is here" he gives a pointed look to Christina then, probably because we were late. "Let's get this party started" Zeke says, motioning for everyone to gather and sit in a circle. "Hey, you should be thanking me for what I did to Tris, she looks amazing" Christina says trying to defend herself. "True" Zeke says with a nod in Tobias' direction. We're about to start playing Candor or Dauntless when I realise I have no idea what it is, let alone how to play. I nudge Chris and give her a look; she catches on and shouts towards Uriah "Question from Tris, what is Candor or Dauntless?" everyone looks at me like I have just committed a crime, I just smile waiting for somebody to explain. After a moment Marlene speaks up "basically you choose if you want Candor or Dauntless. Candor means you have to answer a question honestly and Dauntless, meaning you have to do a dare. If you refuse to do either you must take off an item of clothing" I then get why Chris said to wear layers, I turn towards her with a thankful look and whisper "now I get why you made me wear layers" I didn't realise that the rest of the room was silent, so everyone heard. Chris just smiles and addresses the rest of the group "that's right boys, it will take a while to get us down to our bra and panties today" the boys laugh and then Uriah gives out a sarcastic groan, as if he was disappointed. "Then let's get started" Zeke says with an eager tone.
Here we go, I think to myself…
"So, tell me Shauna, truth or dare?" Zeke says to Shauna wiggling his eyebrows at her. She giggles and says truth. Zeke's eyes light up and he asks her "who do you like?" she blushes and looks down when she mumbles "you". The room is filled with all the girls erupting in 'aww', and the boys shouting 'ooohs'.
"I like you too" he says then leans over to kiss her on the cheek. She blushes even more. Christina nudges me and whispers so that only I can hear "we have to get them two together by the end of the night" I nod agreeing and say "don't forget about Uriah's massive crush on Marlene though" she laughs, and I can see a plan forming in her head. This is going to be interesting, I think to myself.
Shauna looks around the room, looking at everyone. Finally her eyes settle on Tobias and she looks at him nervously, I forget that to everybody else he is the scary, intimidating, dauntless prodigy, Four, "Candor or Dauntless?"
Tobias just looks at her, and says Dauntless without hesitation. She stops, thinking about what to dare him. Then her eyes shift to me sitting next to him, and her eyes light up, like she just got an idea. "I dare you to let Tris sit on your lap for the rest of the game" she says, proud of her dare. I wonder if she knows that we are going out? I suppress a giggle, and look at Tobias, to see if he will let me. He just smiles, grabs me by the waist and pulls me onto him, winding he arms around me, protectively.
"Eh, Christina, you know the question" he says with and intimidating look at Chris. "truth" she states, confidently.
"PANSYCAKE" Uriah jumps up and shouts. I am suddenly hit with the perfect truth, and turn around and whisper it in to Tobias' ear. He laughs, and says "tell us Christina, what is your biggest fear?" she gasps and shoots me the death glare. She is going to get me back for that. I decide to have a little fun, and mouth 'moths' to her really slowly. She whips of her t-shirt and looks straight into my eyes. Oh no, I think to myself, she knows my fears.
"Candor or Dauntless, Tris?" she says, looking straight at me.
"uhhh" I try to think through what she will say, she is obviously going to ask me what my biggest fear is if I say truth "d-dauntless I guess" I say nervously, while trying to reposition myself in Tobias' lap. Her eyes lock onto mine and I know she is going to take advantage of my fear, "I dare you to play seven minutes in heaven with…Four". Shoot. I should have seen that coming I think, while jumping up. I turn around and pull Tobias up with me. He looks at me as if to say, are you sure? I just nod, knowing that I need to grow up and get over it.
"Does someone have a timer?" I shout over my shoulder while making my way to the bedroom. "Got it!" Will shouts back at me. We walk in and Tobias closes the door behind us. "come on then Toby" I say, with a smile playing around on my lips.
"are you sur-" he begins but I don't let him finish because I fit my mouth to his, pulling him closer to me. He doesn't object, just pulls me closer, while he runs his tongue over my lower lip, asking for permission. I let him in, knowing that he won't push me too far, and he understands how I feel about this. He picks me up and pushes me against the wall, a replay of earlier. He makes his way to my ear and I can feel his lips brush against me when he whispers "you look gorgeous by the way" I blush, and a small moan escapes me. Too soon, we have to pull away for air, but I just put my hands around his neck, winding my hands into his hair. I could stay like this forever, pushed up against him but then I hear giggles outside the door. They are eavesdropping. I pull away from Tobias, and walk over to the door, I open it and Uriah, Christina, Will and Zeke all fall through the doorway onto our feet. I laugh and step over them pulling Tobias with me.
When we all sit back down in the group, I don't hesitate to ask Uriah "Candor or Dauntless?" I already know what his answer will be, and I am not disappointed. "I ain't no pansycake" he shouts to me and we all laugh. People will never start using that word, it's stupid. I glance at Christina and she winks at me then I turn back to Uriah and say "I dare you to go and kiss the girl you fancy for a minimum of 10 seconds" he blushes, gets up and walks over to Marlene. He leans over and kisses her. When he pulls away, she is blushing and her cheeks are flushed. He just grabs her hand and sits down next to her. I smile, happy that they are finally together.
There are more rounds and after an hour or so (including someone having to run around the pit in their underwear shouting "I'm a pansycake") I yawn, and Tobias leans forward and asks if I'm tired. I nod at him and rest my head on his shoulder. "Me and Tris are gonna call it a night guys" he says, to the rest of the group. Will looks at his watch, and his eyes widen in shock, "yeah, we should go it's nearly 1:00 am, and job choosing is tomorrow" we all agree, shocked at the time and depart. Going our separate ways.
I decide to go back to Tobias' apartment, and stay there for the night. I need to figure out what job I am going to choose, I have just decided when Tobias' breathing evens and I know that he is asleep. I fall asleep not long after that, knowing that I am safe in the arms of Tobias.
A/N: That is chapter 2. Sorry I wrote this yesterday but I didn't have a chance to upload it. I will try to update every day, hopefully! The next chapter will probably just be a filler chapter before initiation starts again. (There will be a bit of a time skip)
