Tris
The streets of Chicago are surprisingly quiet. But ultimately all I notice is the feeling of my hand tangled in Tobias's. The warmness radiating from him. It is soothing to know that he is my guardian, and I am his.
We manage to walk our way back to the Dauntless compound. "hey, Tris, do you want to play Candor or Dauntless at Uriah's place?" Tobias says this softly while moving a strand of hair from my face. "sure." I say smiling. It would be nice to do something with friends. Get my mind off of everything else.
We arrive shortly at Uriah's apartment, sitting around the living room is Will, Christina, Zeke, and Uriah. "nice of you to show." Uriah says playfully. "ok, now that we are all here, lets start, I'll go first." Uriah takes a flask out of his pocket and takes a sip. His eyes land on Tobias's. "Four, candor, or dauntless?" "Dauntless, obviously." Tobias says this while placing his arm around me. "ok, Four, I dare you to pick one of us to flash." His face turns bright red. "seriously Uriah. Can't you pick something else, like at least to start?" He is clearly embarrassed, but Uriah comes around. "fine. I dare you to… kiss Zeke." I am not worried. I find it kind of funny, seeing Tobias there uneasy. "go on!" Uriah exclaims. Tobias quickly kisses Zeke. Zeke looks stunned, but I know he will get Uriah back, after all, they are brothers. The room is full of laughter before Tobias chimes in. He takes a sip of the amber liquid in the flask. "Will, Candor or Dauntless?" Tobias asks. "um, Candor." He says. "Are you a virgin?" Will blushes, Christina does too. I already know the answer to this, and I think Tobias does too. "no." he says, his cheeks bright pink.
The rest of the game was ok, nothing sure exciting. "ok, its getting late." Christina says. "I don't usually agree with that statement, but I think we should split." Will says. No matter how hard he tries, I can always see the Erudite in him, he always lets something slip, usually in the way he talks. "yeah we should go too, but it was nice getting to hang out with you guys. " Tobias says. We walk out of Uriah's apartment, We turn the corner and I give him a slow, warm, and passionate kiss.
Tobias
I guide Tris back to our apartment, my arm around her shoulders. "you ok?" she asks me. I didn't notice, but my face feels hot. "you good?" she looks up at me. It just occurs to me that we are walking past the Chasm. It makes sense now. I grip her closer. Pulling her small body into my large one. We walk past the Chasm, my arm holding on tightly. "hey Tobias…" tris whispers. "were good, you can loosen your grip." I look at my hands, my knuckles are white. I was holding onto her for dear life.
Back in our apartment, Tris pulls out a few pieces of cake from the fridge. "mmm- my favorite!" She says looking at the cake as she places it on the table. I eat my cake before heading to the shower.
"hey, can I come?" Tris asks. "like to the shower?" I ask, I can feel my face start to blush. "I-I guess." I say. I start to pull off my shirt, my tattoos showing. I throw it on the floor. "tris, you ok?" I ask her. I know she dropped the 'sex' thing, but now I think it is something more. I don't think she wants sex, I think she wants to be one. "yeah, I am fine. I just… how can we be one, if there is a cloth barrier separating us?" she says. I guess it makes sense, what she says. In order to become one, we must drop all barriers, emotional and physical.
I begin to take off my shorts, then my boxers. My face feels hot. I see Tris's eyes, beautiful, and large. Very large, larger than normal. Then I look down. I see my thing stick up. I can't look Tris in the eyes. I see Tris start to undress. Her small body, slowly becoming bare, till we are both naked. I step into the shower, Tris walking in behind me. "This space is small." I say, starting to breathe heavily. It just occurred to me that the space is now more constricting than normal. "hey, look at me." She says, taking my hand and guiding it to her chest. "feel my heart." She says. "your heart is racing." I reply. "well its not because I am in a tiny shower." She says smiling. I stare into her big beautiful eyes. "most people would be happy being in such close quarters with a girl." She says with a smirk. I know where this is going. She is recreating the fear landscape. The tension we felt. But now it feels more natural. "not claustrophobic people Tris." I say softly. I grab her face, water rushing down our bodies. I slowly go in for a kiss. She kisses back. I run my hands up and down her torso, her hands roaming by back. I pull her in closer, feeling every part of her, and her feeling every part of me. I almost forget we are in a shower. All that matters is us. Everything else fades into the background except us. "hey…" she says, putting her thumb on my lips. "I love you ya know." She says smiling. "I love you too Tris." I say.
The rest of the shower was normal, or as normal as it can get when two people shower together.
"I find It hot seeing the water droplets on your skin." She says. I don't have a response, so I kiss her.
She gets dressed in one of my shirts and climbs into bed. "Tobias? Could you leave your shirt off tonight?" She asks. I say nothing, but take off the shirt I was starting to put on. I sit on the bed, feeling her hair, as she runs her hand up and down my arms. She kisses me again softly, and than curls up into my chest before falling asleep.
