Tobias POV:
An hour later and the game is still being played, however, Uriah and Eric are down to boxers, Zeke is shirtless, so is Al, Will has only lost his pants, Christina is in a bra and thong, Tris is down to her skinny jeans and boob tube and I am left as the only one still fully clothed. Half way through the game, my hands had got tired of me leaning back on them so I shifted them, unconsciously, so that they rest one on each of Tris's thighs. (She's still sitting on my lap.) At first I thought she would protest but instead she just continued playing the game. If anything she probably leaning into me more.
"Four C or D" Eric says with a smirk on his face. I have only done dares so far so I decide to mix it up.
"Candor" I reply, unknowing of just how much of a mistake this was. I got a glimpse of my stupidity when Eric's smirk broadened showing is surprisingly straight teeth.
"Ah not so dauntless now, are we? Well, four... Tell us, what is your real name."
No No No. I should not have picked Candor. I gently hover my hands beside Tris's waist, occasionally skimming her bare skin with my calloused hands as I inhale a deep breath. "Would you mind hopping up for a minute please?" I whisper in her ear. She nods her agreement and stands up, brushing non-existent dirt off her jeans. In one swift movement I grab the hem of my shirt in both hands and pull it up and over my head. I reach up to Tris to pull her back down.
Tris's POV:
I feel firm hands wrap around my waist tugging me back down. I rearrange myself in a way so that both Tobias and I are comfortable. When I am happy with the outcome, I slowly lean back. I left out a sharp gasp at the sudden sensation of skin on skin. It sends electric shocks throughout my whole body. I swear I have enough electricity causing through my veins, at the moment, that I could single-handedly power an entire city. My heart beats more faster and harder with every second that we stay connected and for a minute there I thought that my lungs had stopped working. I couldn't breathe. After awhile I got it back under control.
I couldn't focus for the rest of the game, my senses to overwhelmed. When I did talk to answer a question or complete a dare, it was meaningless robotic communications. It's like i was on autopilot. Every second was a reminder of just how close we were. Every time I heard his low rumbling voice next to my ear, it sent shivers down my spine. It was scary being this close to someone but at the same time it was exciting. It's like a roller coaster when you can't breath, your leg are weak, your hearts going a million miles per hour and your stomach's doing frontflips inside you but even with all this you cant help the smile that consumes your face or the scream of enjoyment that escaped your lips. You fear for your life but your not actually in danger because all forms of logic have disappeared as that adrenaline rush takes a hold of you. That is what it felt like in that moment. To feel the adrenaline pass through your body setting each part on fire as it does. To feel your fingertips tingle and your heart flutter. To feel alive.
A few hours later the game ends and we all go our own separate ways back to our apartments. I head back to mine to collect my stuff before heading over to Tobias's. Hours later I am still left with that same sensation before. Even though we are no longer touching the feeling of that sensation is branded into my mind, locked away in the deepest part of my memory so that I can relive it for years to come. I, for the second time today, pack a few bags full of the stuff that I'll really need, the rest I can either come back for tomorrow or just stop by my apartment when I need them. I slump the bags over my should and awkwardly maneuver myself through the door. I free one hand so that I am able to reach into my pockets of my skinny jeans, pull out my brand new key, insert it into the lock and twist it once all the way around. I pocket the key was again and give the handle a quick turn just to verify that the door was successfully locked. Then I turn my back on the door and set of to Tobias apartment.
I pass the training room where I spent countless hours labouring away, trying to work my way to the top. I pass the place we went in our fear landscapes and were forced to face our worst nightmares...literally. I passed the Chasm that almost ended my life, with the help of Peter, Drew and Molly. (A/N Al didn't try to kill her) I passed the dorms where lifelong friendship were forced, tears were shed, blood was spilled. I walked by the Cafeteria where I could finally after 16 years eat what I want and how much I want without be scolded at for being selfish. I stopped by the net that had caught me after my leap off of the building on my first day here. Where I had come to escape my thoughts when it all become to much. This was the very first place I had felt free. When I was falling down I was fearful but exhilarated, I was frightened but ready, I was scared but free.
I didn't get to Tobias until it was the early hours of the morning. I was too busy sitting in the midst of the dauntless civilization, taking in the beautiful chaos that at first I didn't understand but loved anyway. I watched the kids sneak around, meeting up with others to do daredevil stunts that their mothers would surely scold at. I watch the drunken men stagger around the place blissful and content with their life. Their only concern was the beer in their hand. I watched a group of women, just a few years older than me, laugh hysterically at one of the others joke. I watched joy and happiness spread. After that I had gone outside and jumped on a passing train now that i was free to do it. I ran my fingers absentmindedly over the cold metal, reminiscing to the first time I had rode in this train, the day of the Choosing Ceremony. Choosing dauntless was my first real act of bravery. To leave behind all familiarity and go with the unknown. To leave behind my family and start a new one.
I drifted off to sleep on Tobias couch, so not to wake the sleeping man, and woke up to the morning sun filtering through the blinds. Somewhere outside a bird erupts into it's morning song, calling out to the others from its safe haven of branches. The smell of bacon wafting through the air snapped me out of my day dream.
"Morning sleepy head" Tobias singsonged from the kitchen as he walked out with two plates full of pancakes stacked with bacon on top and maple syrup lightly drizzled over it. He handed one to I as she sat up from her laying position on the couch and moved over so that he had room to sit too. I took a bite of her breakfast and I was in culinary heaven. The pancakes were soft and fluffy and the sweetness of the syrup evened out the saltiness of the bacon. Yum, it was delicious. Why have I never had this before?
"Oh my god," I exclaimed with my mouth full, "it's amazing."
"I know." Tobias boasted pridefully. We sat in silence for a bit after that, just savoring the taste of the treat in front of us. Until I broke the silence.
"Can I ask you something?" I inquired
"Technically you just did but yeah go ahead." He joked.
"How come I'm the only one who knows your real name?" His smile faded and a serious look replaced it.
"Because I trust you, that's all." He said. "C'mon I have something I want to show you."
Hey guys so I have finally updated and I know there's not a lot of Tris/Tobias stuff in this chapter but I kind of wanted it to be more descriptive. Was it okay or should I just stick to the other stuff? Please let me know. Please read and review. Also don't forget to follow and favourite. If you have anything you would like me to do, just let me know.
As always, much love
