He smiled and shook his head, "I was checking for surveillance. The outside of this building is a blind spot. I just have to move between the windows when it's dark so no one sees me from the ground. Can I come in?"

I step back with a smile to let him in when a cool breeze came through the open window and blew up the edge of the towel, reminding me of how naked I was under it. I run to grab clothes to change in the bathroom.

I hear him chuckle, "You don't have to change on my account."

When I came back out in shorts and a t-shirt he pouted for a second then smiled as he put his arms around me to hug me close, "I'm sorry I was so mean to you today."

I rested my head against his chest, "Me too but we'll figure it out somehow. We can't hide it forever."

"Yeah, I've been thinking on that. I've been working on a plan." He slowly starts to back me up to the bed.

I put a hand to his chest, "Tobias, we are not doing this tonight."

He stops and takes a step back, "I wasn't planning on doing anything but sleeping. If I have to act like I'm angry with you all day I want to hold you at night so we both remember who we really are." I remember he has seen my fear and it's nice to know he respects me enough not push.

I smile, "Okay but that's as far as it goes."

He leans in and kisses me, "I'm probably going to steal a few of those too."

I laugh and crawl into bed and he lies down next to me. Wow this is nice. I take a deep breath and his sent enters my brain. "So what's your plan?"

"It's best if you just not know. Just in case they interrogate us again. Just keep spending time with your friends, although, I was about to break Uriah's arm today. I really didn't like the way he was hanging on you," he stated.

"When did you see that? You weren't in the Pit," then I realized what I'd said. I knew because I was looking for him.

"I was working in the control room. I get to see everyone. And it took everything I had not to come down, rip his arm off and beat him with it," he said grumpily.

I rolled over on my stomach and raised up on my elbows so I could look at him face to face. "You have to control that. If anybody sees this jealous streak in you, we are both out."

He nodded, "I know, which is why I didn't go after him. Plus his older brother is a friend of mine and would probably kill me. And Uriah is covering for us even if he doesn't know it." He took a closer look at me. "You got your ears pierced." It was said as a statement but felt more like a question.

"Yeah," I said unsure.

He smiled, "I like it. Just be careful when you're training. Those things tend to get ripped out."

I scrunched up my nose, "That's why I didn't do it during initiation. I was afraid I'd lose an ear or something." Then I sighed, "Eric has been acting weird around me. Like, actually going out of his way to talk to me. He made a point to ask me about my apartment and then about me making friends in dauntless so I won't be homesick. I think he saw my Abnegation tattoo. I thought that maybe if I got my ears pierced he would see it as a sign of me trying to fit in."

He nodded, "You're so smart. Tomorrow we need to walk out at about the same time and make the show good for them. I'm sure they're watching that camera like a hawk. Then I'll have a talk to Eric about it. And be careful about looking for me. Although Tobias loves that you want to see him. Four is not so happy about it. You have to act like your getting over me."

My eyes go wide, "How did you know that's how I was categorizing things? I mean it makes it easier for me to keep things straight and not do something stupid."

He leaned up to kiss me, "Because that's how I have to do it. Four is the Dauntless me and Tobias is the Abnegation me. The Abnegation me is much nicer even if he went through hell. Four has lived through hell upon hell so not much bothers him anymore and he likes it that way."

"I get that." I said then yawned.

He laid back down and pulled me down to him, "We need to get some sleep so we can deal with tomorrow. And you have your first day of work tomorrow."

"MMMM" I mumble as I am about to conk out.

I hear an alarm next to my ear and wonder what the noise is as I'm being pulled out of a wonderful dream where Tobias and I were going about normal life with everyone knowing what was going on. We would walk into the dining hall together and Christina and Will would wave us over to eat with them. Planning a life together and just being normal. I hear the alarm shut off and smile thinking that I can go back to sleep. But warm lips start kissing my neck right under my ear, and I can't help but giggle. I roll over and look up at Tobias, "Good morning."

"Yep, but it's all downhill from here though," he sighs and rests his forehead against mine, "It's still early yet, but I gotta go back over to my room and change into Four. I need to leave in about an hour."

Oh yeah, we're supposed to have our hallway meeting for the cameras then, "Okay, I'll get ready. That way I can go to work right after breakfast. And, by the way, I don't like Four. He's hot and all but he's such an ass."

Tobias smiles and tweaks my nose, "He never picks up after himself either. He's hell to live with, because he's always pissed about something."

I laugh and give him one more kiss and just before he climbs out the window he tells me to wait until I hear his door open to leave. And I go looking for something to wear for my first day on the job. I pick out the dress that Christina talked me into buying that first time shopping with her and realize I probably need to get other clothes. But I'll find out today how everyone else is dressing, first. I grab my new-to-me leather jacket and throw it on. Then do my makeup and pull my hair up in a ponytail. Even to me I still look more Abnegation than Dauntless.

I wait by the door to hear his door open and when it finally does I put on my game face and open my door. I see him across the hall and let out a startled "OH!"

He turns around to see me and Four is definitely back, "Great! Just great," he said.

I start to say something and he holds up a hand and sneers, "Nope, don't say it. I know 'you're sorry.' "

I cross my arms and give him an exasperated look, "Yeah I'm beginning to get less sorry. Maybe if you weren't being an ass all the time, people wouldn't want to set you up like this." I wave a hand between us, "I'm beginning to think this isn't about me at all but about watching you suffer."

"You just watch yourself," he stated.

"Or what?" I asked, putting my hands on my hips now.

He stepped forward enough that I could smell him but I had to keep it together, "Dauntless is still a military faction and I still out rank your ass. Unless you want to have extra duties like washing the pots and pans in the kitchen I suggest you shut up."

I step back knowing I was actually pushing my luck a little bit here. And he put me in my place as far as anyone watching the cameras were concerned. But when he walked away I got one last jab in that only Eric or Max might see and think yep she's getting over him. I flipped him off behind his back. Yep it was cowardly but it made me feel better because Tobias being Four pissed me off.
