Thank you people for reviewing! It means a lot since this is my first fan fiction post and all! Right then I am not from Chicago, so I am not Veronica Roth, so I therefore do not own the Divergent Trilogy!
I don't know how I feel about that visit to Abnegation.
The Abnegation part of me feel crest fallen. I knew that my father was upset with me for leaving, but I didn't know that he would be so upset that he would just make a rash decision to stomp out of the house as soon as Tobias and I told him we were engaged. I wanted to tell him myself that this was just a dare, but of course didn't get the chance. I wanted to tell him that I don't believe that faction is more important than family, that while I value the bonds of factions, I love my family even more.
But my Dauntless side is furious. How dare he, how dare he accuse me of transferring when he was a transfer himself?
Tobias can see that I'm having an inner war with myself and backs off for now, even though I know he wants to talk about what just happened. Without my permission a tear slips out.
"I know you want to talk about what happened" I say.
"Yeah…But I also know that you're pretty upset about what happened, so I didn't want to push it."
"I'm fine, really, I am, I just didn't expect my selfless father, one of the leaders of Abnegation who is supposed to be one of the most selfless of all to act so selfish, I mean obviously this is just a dare, but he acted as if we were doing this just to hurt him." I say
He nods in understanding as we see bright lights and a loud horn coming towards us, "Here's the train, let's get back to the others."
Tobias pulls himself onto the train easily and I follow just behind him with a little difficulty, so he helps me up, but then he stumbles back and I fall right into his lap. I look up at him blushing, god I wish I didn't blush so much and he looks down at me. "Tris, I wanted to tell you, well I know that I kind of told you during the game back at Dauntless after our 7 minutes in Heaven, but it was more than comforting to me, it felt, well." He rubs his hand on the back of his neck, like he's nervous or something. "It felt like it could be the start of something." Then he looks up.
I'm shocked. I can't say anything for a minute. "When I heard you say that the 7 minutes in Heaven was comforting for you as well, I just thought that it was because I knew who you were, I mean how could someone," Gesturing with my hand to him, "like you, like someone like me?"
"Tris, ever since you came to Dauntless I knew there was something different about you, I couldn't put my finger on you, that's why I paid extra attention to you and as I did I learned more and more about you. You're brave, strong, and selfless."
"Not selfless enough" thinking of my father
"Hey. Yes you are. Think about what you did for Al, standing in front of those targets? That isn't nothing."
Then all of sudden it hits me, he's actually serious. "But I'm not pretty."
"Pshhhh, what are you talking about? You aren't any regular beauty, I'll give you that, but you know when you're with someone and you get to know them and the more and more you're with them the prettier they get?" I nod. "Well, you're the prettiest girl I've ever met." Then he leans over and kisses me.
I can't help but be shocked. I'm stiff for a second, but then make myself relax. We're both sitting against the train cars with our heads turned towards each other and it's perfect, it really is, it isn't out there like the 7 minutes in Heaven, or a quick peck after he told me that 7 minutes in Heaven was comforting. It's a long deep kiss.
We break for air to see the Dauntless Compound coming up, "Looks like we have to jump off."
I sigh, "Yeah." He just smiles.
"Hey Tris," I look up. "While I'd love to make this public, I don't want the others thinking that you made it to the Top Ten because we're dating, okay? So don't tell anyone, not even Christina."
"Okay." And we jump off.
