Tris P.O.V
I wake up in an unfamiliar room, where am I? Then I remember that I stayed at Christina's last night. She was so drunk, she could hardly walk, I thought I would be the responsible one and get her to bed and there she is; totally asleep strewn across her bed, tangled up in her sheets. I, being a former Abnegation slept on her rather lumpy couch.
I walked over to her bathroom, my bare feet cold against the floor. I stare at my reflection in the mirror. I still haven't got used to being able to do that. It feels wrong but I like it. I like the feeling that I'm doing something selfish after all those years of being forced the other way. I turn on her shower and wash myself, trying to scrub away the stink of last night that still lingers on my skin. After deciding I'm clean enough I pull on the clothes I came over here in yesterday and lay some things out for Christina. I write her a note...
Chris,
I brought you home last night and decided I ought to stay over, I've gone to work now. You should fine some aspirin on your desk along with clothes for the day.
See you later

I quickly grab my stuff and head over to my apartment, I don't particularly like it. I don't have early as much belongings as Chris does and it doesn't feel as comfortable as Tobias's place. I haven't stayed at Tobias's since initiation. We haven't really gone far as a couple, Chris is always pounding me telling me to just get over my fears but I know Tobias understands them. He probably hates it but he respects me and my fear. Just like I do him.
Since training the initiates doesn't last the whole year I had to choose another job, so I decided to work with Tori in the Tattoo parlour. I've always liked art and it's a chance to make something out of it. I check the clock on my bedside table- its 8.40, I have twenty minutes before I need to be in the pit. I make my way over to the cafeteria to grab a muffin for breakfast. As I walk through the many tunnels I run into Lauren. I like Lauren, after initiation was over I got to know her more. She is good friends with Zeke and Four. "Hey Tris, how's it going?" she asks.
"Just going to get a muffin before work, a little tired from last night. Hey why weren't you there?" I ask.
"Oh, I just wasn't really in the mood for partying," she says, I suspect she's lying. "Hey, I have a muffin here I was gonna eat it but I kinda lost my appetite, do you want it?"
"What flavour?" Only one flavour will be good enough.
"Chocolate, of course!" she replies. I smile and take the muffin from her hand, I haven't eaten since lunch yesterday and I'm starving. I head towards the Pit with Lauren jut chatting about pointless stuff. We talk a bit about me training the Transfers next year, she's still doing the Dauntless born but Uriah's going to help her as well and now I have Chris with me I think we'll make quite a good bunch of scary trainers.
~ Page Break ~
So far my days been pretty uneventful, I've only just started working here so I'm not allowed to tattoo people yet. I spent the day working on the till and when it was less busy Tori was teaching me what to do on a dummy. I think I'm going to enjoy working here in the future.
"Hey Tris you can go on your lunch break now, just be back in an hour," calls Tori from the back room. I put away the designs I've been studying and walk out into the pit. I still don't have many clothes- I'm not exactly the shopping kind of girl. I just wear whatever Chris tells me to buy or borrow something from her endless wardrobe. I'm not hungry so I decide to go down to the cave by the chasm. I pretty sure no one else knows about it apart from me and Tobias, which means I get some peace and quiet for a while.
Tobias P.O.V
I sit and remember the last time I was here, it was when I brought Tris here for the first time. When I finally revealed how I felt for her. Before she came this was my space where I could be free from the ongoing noise of the Dauntless. Now it's changed, now it's our place, a place that is ours and only ours. I decide it better be time to be heading back to work when I hear footsteps coming towards me. "Hey Tris," I call as she walks into view.
"Hey Tobias, you scared me there!" she says, "I thought you were at work."
"I was but I'm not really in the mood today," I say, grabbing her hand and pulling her down next to me. She rests her head on my shoulder and I bury my face in her hair. I love the smell of he,r I wish I could have it with me all the time. "I love you, Tris Prior," I whisper to her
"And I love you too, Tobias Eaton." I smile at her response, I tilt her chin up so she's looking at me. Then her lips collide against mine, I run one hand through her hair and the other is pressed against the small of her back pulling her closer to me. She has both her arms wrapped around my waist, suddenly she turns herself so her body is facing mine and swings one leg over me so she is straddling me. I carefully run my tongue along her lips asking for entrance. She doesn't respond straight away teasing me but soon she allows it and we massage each other's tongues. She pulls away, turning herself so she's sitting on my lap. I never try to push her, I always take things slowly as not to scare her.
"Tris?" I ask
"Yes?"
"I was er wondering uhm," I'm struggling to get the words out "Do you uhm maybe want to, to move in with me?" I finally manage to get the words out of my mouth and wait tensely for her reply.
