A/N: Lucky you, another update. I won't upload another chapter until I get at least 2 reviews, good or bad. This is just one big converstation between Tris and Tobias. It will be pretty short, but I will update the next chapter soon.
Tris:
"Avigayil was right ya know." I say, quietly. I am sprawled out on my bed, with Tobias beside me.
"About what?"
"That we torture the initiates. I mean, she could have been more polite, but she had a point."
"We had to go through it too."
"Right, and that's what makes it so much worse. We know exactly what they are going through."
"How do you think I felt, when I had to do your simulations?"
"Yeah well… there was Peter. At least you could enjoy his pain."
"But still. At that point I was already head over heels for you. Can you imagine what it was like for me, seeing you in that much pain? I mean, there was a reason I got drunk later that day."
I laugh a little, as I remember that day.
"I almost forgot that day. You know, you almost got me in trouble with my friends. Will heard you tell me I looked good."
"You did."
"Ugh, that's not really an excuse. Hmmm, drinking would be really good right now. Should we go to the bar?"
"I think my experience is proof that we should not. Drinking away our troubles is not the answer."
"I know another way." I say quietly, with a little smirk. Tobias laughs a little, and crashes his lips to mine.
"Actually that doesn't really help, I'm still sad." I say.
"You'll get over it."
"I hope."
"You will. Do you think the ginger twins are divergent?"
"Maybe. They both seemed to be aware, but we can't be sure until they somehow manipulate the simulations. No one else looked like they knew the simulation was real."
"They still might not be divergent though."
"True. I'm still sad." I say. "I feel really, really bad for the initiates."
"I know, but they have to learn how to conquer their fears. Do you remember what I told you your first day?"
"That you stay away from stiffs as much as you can."
"It's just like you to remember that."
"Well, it made me angry, so yeah, I remembered it."
"You know why I stay away from Abnegation."
"Yeah."
"Anyways, back to the point. I told you that everyone needs to learn to keep their fears in check, especially the Dauntless. If they don't know how to do that, they don't belong here."
"Still."
"Yes Tris, I know that you are sad, you don't need to keep reminding me."
"You have like, zero emotion."
"You're one to talk. Do you even feel pain?"
"I'm gonna be the bigger person and not talk back."
"You started it."
"You are soooooo immature." I say sarcastically. I know that Tobias is more mature than most Dauntless his age.
Tobias laughs
"I love you Tris."
"I love you too. You never did tell me when you first started linking me."
"Oh yeah. I kinda accepted it when I was throwing knives at your head."
"What a wonderful time to admit you like someone. Right as you throw a dangerous weapon at my head."
"I had to. I couldn't let Eric know I liked you."
"Whatever."
"You underestimate my intelligence."
"No I don't. I already know you're a genius. I'm amazed you didn't get an aptitude for Erudite."
"I don't like them."
"I know. At least they stopped writing articles about Abnegation."
"Not all of them were lies though."
"I know. Can we just go to sleep?"
"It's only nine."
"My depression has made me tired."
"Okay." Tobias says with a slight smile. He grabs my by the waist, and pulls me towards him so he is spooning me. he kisses the back of my head.
"Goodnight Tris."
"G'night." I say, but I am already drifting towards the land of dreams.
A/N: It sucked I know, I don't need to be told. It was just a filler chapter. Congratulations to Calliegirl23 for guessing what Yaakov needs to talk about. I'm glad someone was paying close enough attention to the MANY hints. Remember, the next chapter will not get uploaded until I get 2 reviews. It's not that much to ask.
