Sorry it's short…
Tris POV
Tobias and I walk into the Pit and head to our apartment.
"May third." He says again as though he's trying to remember anything severely significant happening on that day.
"February second." I say back to him. "Isn't it weird that we grew up never knowing anything about the day we were born, and now it's, like, the biggest thing in the world?"
He nods. "It is weird."
We walk back to his apartment together. It's odd not being in Dauntless, even for a little while. Like part of me was missing and I didn't understand until I was gone.
I open the door and step into the apartment. The doorknob is freezing cold and the lock is a tad sticky when I try to open it.
We enter and I start to unpack my things.
Old habits die-hard.
Tobias flops on the bed and watches me unpack. I have the strange feeling I'm doing something wrong but I keep going.
Separating clothes into two piles. Dirty and clean. I unpack my makeup bag and toss it aside.
Tobias lets out a sigh and puts his hands up behind his head. "Can we talk about something?" He asks.
I nod but continue looking at my piles. "What do you want to talk about?"
He lets out a long breath. "I just…" He doesn't say anything for a second then says, "Never mind."
I look at him. "What?"
He shakes his head. "When you're done."
I just continue sorting. I squat down to the bottom dresser drawer and slide my clothes in. I toss the dirty ones in the hamper and sit on the bed.
"What do you want to talk about?" I ask.
He holds his arms out to me like a little boy and I slide in them, gladly. He doesn't say anything for a while just brushes my hair back.
"The whole birth control thing." He says.
I bite my lip. "I said I was sorry."
"I know." He says. "And I forgive you. I just don't get why you made it such a huge deal."
I look away from him. "I just want to stay safe." I close my eyes slowly and sink down into his chest.
He rubs me arm. "You're smart Tris. You're really smart. Just talk to me about things."
"Only if you talk to me." I say sternly.
"I do." He says. "I'll tell you anything."
I let out a heavy sigh. "Tell me you love me."
His lips curl into a smile. "I love you Tris Eaton."
I break into a grin. "Happy almost half birthday." I add.
He gives me a kiss. "You're lovely, you know that?"
I nod. "Don't forget it."
"Never will." He says pressing his lips to my temple.
I start to drift off into sleep. Halfway there I think I here noise coming from the Pit, but I decide it's nothing and keep sleeping.

I'm sorry it's short. I had to set up for the next chapter…. I am stuck for DHS so that's why it's not getting updated too…..
Also! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE REVIEWS! I LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH! Alice in Wonderland is over :'( (so is the 3rd quarter of school….) but that means I should start to fall back in routine. That also means I won't have Nap with Computer Privileges aka Career.
So updates coming Tuesday or Wednesday! Secret Life of The American Teenager comes back next Monday! (YES.) I just felt like throwing that in there….. I LOVE YOU!
Xoxo!
