Oreo234, thankyou!
Shelly1985, Not many people know about that night... I guess? Still trying to figure out what to do. But any ideas are welcome.
Stella Nite Wolfblood, so you like it?! Yay! Glad to know you respect my idea :)
Dauntless4664, I KNOW RIGHT? Haha. Thankyouu and I'll try. Sis. :D (heartheart)
I got less reviews this time around, but it's okay! But I'm disappointed with myself for the length of this. *shaking my head*
'Get Some'
Tobias's POV:
"What does this mean for us?" I ask when we ascend back to reality and take in the busy Pit. Tris looks at me.
"I'm the girl," she says in a suggestive tone. I tilt my head but shortly realise what she was hinting at.
"Will you like to be my girlfriend?" One shakes her head and I am shortly taken aback.
"I'd love to." I breathe a sigh in relief and chuckle at her. She smiles.
"What's the tattoo on your right wrist?" She presents it to me and I make out 'Beatrice'. Oh. She shrugs and we head to the training room.
"Figured you boys would be in here, " she calls out. I see Will attacking the punching bag, while the Pedrad boys do one on one.
"We didn't want to go shopping. Like nah, ain't nobody got time for that," Zeke puffs before returning to the headlock he has Uriah in.
"Tell that to Chris," Will and I say in unison. Tris's musical laugh echoes through the room.
"Is she seriously that bad?"
"She had us, sitting down and commenting on every single outfit. And most of them, she didn't even buy," Will grumbles.
"It took a lot of persuading not to drain hers and Celeste's points," I include.
"Ya see? This is what every guy has to go through with his girlfriend," Uriah mumbles from his headlock that he is desperately trying to get out of.
"Ur, not all girls shop like that. For example, me."
"But you're single! You haven't got anyone to torture!" Tris and I share a look before laughing.
"What's funny now?" Will stares at us.
"Oh, just how Uriah's trying, key word is trying, to get out of the headlock," Tris states. That is not a lie. I head over to the targets and pick up three knives. I relax and go into my stance. I inhale, aim, exhale and throw three times in a row. Bullseye, each time.
"Impressive," Zeke shouts from his position on the floor. Uriah had tackled him and is now straddling his back, twisting his arm back.
"Thank you." I bow. Tris whacks my head and I rub it, pouting. She rolls her eyes then the doors bang open. Celynn walk through with shopping bags.
"We don't want to know," Lynn comments on the Pedrads. We all smile and get on with our own things. I tease Tris here and there on her knife throwing to throw her off her game.
"Hey! I wanna shoot muffins off your head," Uriah screams when he gets up after Zeke surrenders.
"Who, mine?" Tris cocks her hip.
"Yes, yours. Who do you think?"
"Nope."
"Come on, it will be with pellets."
"That'll be fun." I earn a glare and step back immediately.
"Not saying he should do it on you though." The doors open and we all turn to see it is the three girls.
"Heeeeeey." Chris drawls out. Uriah glares at Marlene, Zeke gives a pointed look to Shauna and Will just ignores Chris.
"Okay, look. One, we are so sorry. Shauna and I were jealous that our boyfriends knew your secrets and us, your closet friends did not know. Chris was just as curious as an Erudite but blunt like a Candor. I understand now that the person you trusted fully died and the next people in line were them. I was surprised they managed to keep it to themselves. Peter was a shock, due to the hatred you had towards one another."
"What she said. Uriah and Zeke, we apologise hugely for assuming the worst. Well, we do not know what we assumed but yeah. We love you guys and we are hugely guilty for what we did."
"I'm not going to apologise for being Candor."
"And she ruins the moment," Uriah sighs. I snort and Tris punches my shoulder as well as staring Uriah down.
"You didn't let me finish. I admit I should not have pushed. I thought it wasn't fair that you got to see our fears, yet we won't see yours."
"To be honest, they're just the least scary ones," Tris interrupts.
"Okay, okay. I could have just let it go and let you take your time and let you be ready to tell us in your own time."
"So we got you a shirt. Well three." The girls present a bag each and Tris goes to them.
Marlene has a black shirt that says, 'don't test me'. I snort again and she giggles, remembering that it is exactly what she said in the fear landscape room.
Shauna bought a purple shirt that says, 'One'. Tris grins and Chris actually got a button down shirt that is the colour of red and black with a black camisole to wear underneath.
"Thanks guys. I accept your apology. I was in the wrong for getting angry but both Amar and my fears is just a subject I detest."
"We get it," Shauna smiles. The four girls have a group hug.
"Aw... Now can I have someone's head to shoot muffins off?" Uriah blurts.
"I volunteer," Marlene giggles. We all stare at her with a 'are you crazy' look but Uriah bounces on his toes and gets the gun from the store cupboard. Will, who left during the apologies, returns with a tray of muffins.
Marlene grabs one, takes a bite and places it on her head when she stands at the target. Uriah aimsand shoots. The pellet knocks the muffin off her head and Marlene squeals. She also picks up the muffin and eats it.
"What the hell?" We all burst out.
"I'm not going to let it go to waste and plus there was like a five second rule..."
"That's my girl right there," Uriah boasts. I roll my eyes and Tris laughs.
"Where's Peter?"
"Sleeping," Will tells her.
"Should have guessed."
"This is killing me." Chris whines.
"What?" I question.
"Why is she called One?" Well, that came outta nowhere.
"Tobias, do the honours?" I clap my hands.
"How does he know?" Celeste asks in surprise.
"We had a very heartfelt conversation," I smirk.
"Okay...," Zeke drags out, looking between us.
"Anyways, we wanna know," Lynn urges.
"One question, how do you three not know?" I point to Lynn, Marlene and Shauna.
"We never asked."
"So, she's the first female leader in Dauntless history, knocked down a fighter in a minute and a punching bag in a minute. The word has three letters and that's three reasons."
"Awesome," Will muses before eating a muffin. We all crowd in and take one too.
"Does that mean you know her name too?" Chris says after a while.
"Yeah, Tris."
"And she's letting you say it in public."
"It's another nickname."
"How did this happen?" Uriah asks incredulously.
"Like he said, we had a heartfelt conversation."
"Can we call you Tris?" Celeste asks eagerly.
"Yeah, just not around the other initiates. Only between us guys."
"Yay!" Chris, Will and Celeste cheer.
"Funny, that's exactly what he said when I said he could say it in our group."
"We are the Fantastic Four. Great minds think alike," I deadpan. They all laugh at this. Tris shoves me and I toss her over my shoulder.
"Guys! Girl attack!" Will grabs Chris, Uriah scoops up Marlene and Zeke threw Shauna over his shoulder.
"Lynn, come on!" I yell. Celeste's eyes widen but before she could run, she was on Lynn's shoulder. I dash out of the training room and the boys follow. The girls are shrieking but shouting at us. Soon they give up the fighting back and enjoy the ride. Many members are shocked to see two of their leaders but holler at the amusing sight.
"Tobias Eaton, I demand you put your leader down this instant."
"Hmm, so tempting." She slaps my back and I laugh, still running.
"Uriah, where should we go?" I shout.
"There's a pool, follow me." The girls start screaming again, knowing they are going to get soaked. We run and are taken past the leaders' apartment. Max comes out of his room and shakes his head before heading back inside. Uriah unlocks a door and I am mesmerised by the sight in front of me.
The pool is huge, with a glass window overlooking the city. I can tell immediately it is one that is dark on the outside so no one can look through. There are four diving boards, positioned at different heights, all in separate areas.
"Now!" Zeke roars. All us boys, and Lynn, move the girls so they're held bridal style and swing them into the pool. They squeal in the air and flail everywhere before becoming submerged. We crack up and high five each other.
The girls resurface and have murderous looks on their faces.
"Dude, they're pissed." Zeke scratches his head. They all swim to the edge where we stand and Uriah is stupid enough to offer his hand, Marlene smiles sweetly before pulling him forward. Uriah stumbles and plunges headfirst into the water. I guffaw and Zeke hunches forward, clutching his sides. Shauna reaches out and tug on his shirt. Zeke loses his balance and slips in. I bark with laughter and Lynn is shaking, suppressing her giggles. Will is rolling on the floor and turns into the water. Everyone breaks down when he emerges with a frown.
"I didn't even have to touch him," Chris pants between laughs.
"Come on guys. The water's perfect." Uriah waves us forward while floating. I grab Lynn's hand, walk backwards and she gives me a look.
"Just run and jump." She nods. I sprint and she is on my heels.
"CANNONBALL!" We leap and tuck our knees in. Everyone scrambles out of the way while we are grabbed by gravity. I sink to the bottom and realise I can stand on the floor with my head poking out.
"Damn your height," Tris complains. The boys walk around with the girls kick their legs to keep above the water. We play around for a while, getting out a volleyball and hitting it all over the place.
"We need to come here more often," I remark.
"I agree," Tris nods. Everyone else says yes and we all face the glass ceiling length window to witness the early sunset.
"Okay, I give up. I am the shortest out of all of us and it's hard to stay up." I stand in front of her and hitch her thighs up to wrap them around my waist. She encircles my neck with her arms and rest her chin on my shoulder.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome... Short Stuff." I am hit on the head and Uriah fistbumps me.
"Watch it." I smirk and go under. I feel her writhe before she relaxes and I swim like a dolphin with a rider. I see everyone else do the same thing and we all step out the pool, dripping wet.
"Will the cafeteria still have food?" Will asks no one.
"There's food in our apartment." Shauna offers.
"Let's go." Zeke walks out and we all follow, leaving wet footprints and puddles. I walk beside Tris, our hands brushing every now and then when she finally links them together. We are at the back of the group so no one sees. I glance down at her and she has a shy smile on her face. We reach Zeke's apartment and file in, eager for food. I let go of her hand but sit close to her.
"That was fun," Celeste mumbles around her slice of pizza.
"Definitely. How did we not know about the pool, Uri?" Shauna asks.
"It slipped my mind but no one never really use it."
"That place can be our hangout area," Marlene suggests. We all agree in one way or another and chatter for the rest of the evening.
"Urlene's off." Uriah announces as the couple depart.
"I'm drained," Lynn yawns and holds out her hand to Celeste.
"I'll walk you to the dorms," Celeste accepts it and they are gone.
"Fear landscapes tomorrow." Chrill exit too. I stand up.
"Thanks for the food and laters." Shauna and Zeke nod. Tris smiles and waves. I step out of the room but go back in.
"You don't know where to go," Tris states, amused.
"Nope." She chuckles and hugs the couple. Zeke whispers in her ear and she blushes. We both walk out and I follow her through the hallways. We arrive at my destination and I beam at her.
"Good night."
"You too, Tris." I hesitate before leaning in and kiss her. She kisses back straight away and I pull back, not wanting to be caught.
"What did Zeke say?" She fidgets before whispering.
"Get some." I smirk at her red cheeks.
"Sweet dreams. Short Stuff." She groans and stalks off. I shake my head with a grin and walk in.
Everyone is laying in bed, some asleep and others waiting to surrender to sleep. I change swiftly and climb up to my bunk. Pleasant dreams plague my mind and I pass out with a smile on my face.
:D.
