One-Shot Fourteen
The First Kiss We Shared
Tobias' Point of View
A/N: Disclaimer: I don't own Divergent. Enjoy!:)
Tris' hand is smooth in mine as I walk her to the Chasm. I was expecting to be nervous, but a cool calm washes over me, taking my fears away for the moment. I'm taking one step at a time. I run my thumb down her palm, and when a slight shiver runs up her spine I grin in satisfaction.
I'm still shocked at how well she took my fear landscape. I thought there would be accusations about why I didn't tell her who I was. But no. She took in everything with a refreshing shock of braveness. She didn't ask too many questions, which I am very grateful for. I'd rather not talk about some of the things in my fear landscape. When I decided I would show her my landscape, I wasn't sure it would be a good idea, but I went with my gut instinct. I'm glad I did.
When we arrive at the Chasm, I guide her around to the area where the rocks are a little less slick. I start walking down the rocks, and Tris follows, stepping gingerly. We don't say anything. I sit down and she follows suit without asking questions. She is so patient. We sit, listening to the sound of the waves crashing against the rock from the river. Ten minutes must've passed before either of us has said anything.
"I've always felt I don't quite belong to Dauntless." I spurt out, unable to help myself. I don't know why I said it, but it's true.
"But you're…incredible." She breathes deeply and a rush of pink colors her cheeks. I shrug, I may look like I belong in Dauntless but in all honesty I just don't.
I say, "I don't think selflessness and bravery are all that different. If you grow up learning to be selfless, your first instinct when in danger is to protect others. I could easily be in Abnegation."
"Well, I left Abnegation because I wasn't selfless enough. Wasn't good enough." she almost whispers that last part. The forlorn look on her face is enough make me say what's on my mind.
"You're the most selfless person I know."
She looks in my eyes with an intenseness I've never seen before. I know it's the right time. I lean in quickly and our lips crash against each other hard, yet softly at the same time. I try my hardest to be gentle with her, but I do not know how well I am exceeding at that. I hold her in my arms and we continue kissing for a long while.
A/N: Thank you so much for reading! I changed around some things and took some things out so I wouldn't be copying Veronica Roth word for word so I hope that's okay with you! Anyways, I really need ideas on more One-Shots to write so I'd really appreciate anything you can give me. Thanks!
