Hey everyone!
So I got sort of mixed views on the whole one chapter every two days or one a day, so basically I decided, if you get a rather large chapter, I probably won't update for another day. So it's a surprise basically! *sings* "you get the best of both worlds" (I'm sorry, sometimes Hannah Montana gets the best of me).
Anyway bubs! Here you go. This chapter is entirely in Tris' POV. I will be building a lot more on their eventual relationship over the next few chapters, so look out for a lot of Fourtris fluff.
TRIS' POV:
I can't believe it.
I really can't believe it.
Four…just said he liked me. And I basically told him I liked him back.
And we kissed. Twice.
Was this a dream? I mean…I don't understand. I just don't.
For so long, I've doubted myself,
It was such a change to have someone actually say that I meant something to them.
In Abnegation, we were taught to dedicate our lives to be selfless, and to forget oneself for the sake of other. I had forgotten who I was. I had forgotten that I actually deserved things.
I'm Dauntless now, and I didn't need to refuse, or deny anything from me. I didn't need to put my emotions away and I didn't need to hide who I was anymore. If I wanted something, I could go get it.
And I wanted him.
So I kissed him.
Now what the hell was going to happen?
Four's hand softly touched mine. I looked up and smiled at him.
"So…" he said, with
Suddenly I heard voices outside the door, hushed voices.
"Shhhhh, they'll hear us," I heard Christina say.
"It's been like ten minutes, what on earth have they been doing in there?" Marlene exclaimed.
I heard a thwack, and a little cry of pain from Marlene.
"Shut up," Christina whispered. "Don't you want this to happen between them? We already got you and Uriah together."
"That really hurt," Marlene hissed. "Yeah I do, but I want to get on with the game."
I heard another thwack and another stifled cry of pain from Marlene. Ah, she learnt the hard way how much Christina's punches hurt.
I quietly laughed to myself as I looked up and saw Four stifle a laugh. I couldn't help but grin too. I mean, it was pretty hilarious.
They quieted down and eventually we couldn't hear anything anymore. Our laughter trailed off.
"So…" Four said.
"So…" I trailed off with a blush. Then I realized something.
"I don't even know your name," I said softly. He looked down on the floor.
How could I even think of getting into a real relationship with someone without even knowing his real name? I mean, I liked him, a lot, but it's so hard for me to trust people. And relationships work on trust both ways, if he didn't trust me either then I don't understand how this was going to work.
And did I even know that he wanted a relationship with me. I felt like I was blowing this way out of proportion. All he said was that he liked me. Maybe I was assuming things. Why would he even tell me his real name, I knew from all the rumours and the talk around the faction that he had never told anyone. He kept his life before Dauntless under lock and key, hell he was universally known as Four, and I doubted he'd give the key to a sixteen year old girl who he barely knew. Yet I felt like I knew him more then anybody that I had ever met. I felt a deeper connection between us. But did he feel it enough to disclose the most personal thing about him to me, plain old Tris?
He glanced at me.
"It's okay, you don't need to tell me if you don't want to. But you can trust me," I said to him. He shook his head.
"No I want to tell you."
"It's Tobias. That's my name."
I instantly smiled. It fit him perfectly.
"Tobias," I said softly, testing out the name on my tongue. "I like it."
He looked at me, his piercing blue eyes felt like they were looking into my soul.
"I don't want to rush you Tris. If you don't want a relationship or anything like that right now, that's fine," he said. "But you should know, that when you do want one, I'll be here, waiting for you."
I nodded slowly.
"I don't want to rush," I murmured. "Do you mind Four?"
He laughed and pulled me into a warm embrace.
"Of course I don't. And call me Tobias. It's nice to hear my name for once," he said, his voice sending shivers down my spine.
Tobias released me from his arms.
"Should we tell anyone, or like yeah…" I asked
"Do you want to? Personally, I'm just a really private person…" he trailed off.
I smiled at him assuredly. "I don't really want to tell anyone anyway, I mean we're not even properly dating so, yeah, I don't mind."
He sighed with relief, but frowned a little. I wonder why?
"Ok, that sounds good," he murmured as he pulled me towards him again. He cupped his hands around my face and lifted it up to his lips. He placed his lips on mine gently as we kissed softly. He withdrew from me, and I pouted slightly.
Tobias gestured to the door. "We should probably go now."
I nodded and got up. Just as my hand was turning the doorknob, I felt a hand on my shoulder.
"Wait a second," Tobias said.
He pulled me back again and kissed again, one last time. I felt myself shiver a little at his touch as his lips met mine in a perfect union.
"Okay, now we can go," he said with a small smile forming on his lips as he intensely stared into my eyes.
I could feel myself getting lost in his gaze. I was starting to see two different sides to him. One side, was his 'Four' side. The side that showed him as being tough as nails, hard and emotionless. The other side was his 'Tobias' side. The real side of him, which showed him to be caring, and gentle and kind. Even though I could tell he was still working on that. I liked this side of him.
Snap out of it Tris. Stay focused on…wait what was I even doing? Oh yeah, leaving the bathroom.
I walked out of the bathroom with Tobias following behind me. We were greeted by dead silence. What the hell was happening? Normally after any two people are in 7 Minutes of Heaven they're greeted by whooping, cheering, casual jeering and general chit chat. Where was Christina making things awkward? Where was Uriah? Where the hell was everyone actually.
I turned to Tobias. "Where is everyone," I asked him.
"I have no idea," he said.
Suddenly Christina crept up behind us.
"BOO!" she shouted as I jumped with fright. Tobias of course didn't stir one bit. Of course he wasn't scared.
My heart was racing. "What the hell was that Christina?" I yelled. "You scared the living daylights out of us."
Christina was laughing really hard and then Tobias started laughing too.
"Speak for yourself Tris. I was perfectly composed," he said with a smirk on his face. I playfully punched him on the arm.
"Sorry T, Lynn dared me to go scare you and Four when you walked out. That was the lamest dare ever. Lynn seriously has no idea how to play this game, like she had the best opportunity but she just threw it away," Christina explained.
I was kind of annoyed, but then again I didn't really care. My thoughts were engaged somewhere else.
On Tobias.
The others all crowded back in and sat in a circle.
"So what happened in there," Zeke said suggestively, wiggling his eyebrows up and down at us.
"YEAH! What happened? No lies you guys," Christina laughed.
I looked at Tobias, who smiled at me.
"Oh nothing," I said.
But I knew it was definitely something.
Okay guys! Hope you enjoyed.
