A/N Hey folks! How ya doing? I wrote two chapters in 3 days. Heh. Anyways I have a question for you guys at the end of this chapter so please read the A/N at the end and answer in the reviews. And sorry that I was late this was supposed to be up yesterday but I just forgot and I remembered that I hadn't updated while I was on a morning run today. So once again sorry for the wait guys.
Four POV
Finally I'm getting out of here. It's been two days since I woke up and they haven't let me out of my room much just a stroll or two up and down the hallway. I'm getting frustrated being cooped up here and I can tell that everyone else who'd come to visit me knew too. They all tried to cheer me in their various ways.
Uriah and Zeke would do stupid things making me laugh. Marlene and Shauna would bring me something to eat other than the bland hospital food. Lynn accompanied them sometimes. Christina and Will would have entertaining debates which amused me to no end and finally Tris cheered me up by just being there. We talked a lot most of it stupid gibberish but I enjoyed it all the same sometimes we just sat in silence but even that would be enough.
Gods, the girl had messed with my mind completely. I also thought about Doctor Solace's words but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. I hated those looks of pity like I was a kicked and wounded puppy. Sometimes during our talks I just wanted to spill it all to Tris but she already had so much on her plate without me adding my baggage to it. So I didn't say anything. It was crazy how she had managed to break all the walls I had spent ages creating.
Suddenly Doctor Solace came in interrupting my musings with his usual sunny (Sea what I did there? ;P) persona. I gave him a small smile and he gave me a big one in return saying, "So Four ready to go?"
"Yup pretty much I hate being cooped up in here."
Will put his hand over his heart in mock hurt I simply rolled my eyes while he continued the check-up. After a few beats of silence he hummed, "Hmm you are healing great. Just remember to stop by once every week for a check-up. And remember all the things I told you. Now you're good to go, your friends are waiting outside."
I thanked him and made my way outside. There Zeke and Tris greeted me with smiles on their faces. Zeke clapped me on the back saying, "So finally out of there."
"Yeah. Finally." I laughed walking along with them. I was limping a bit as I couldn't put much weight on my leg yet so we walked slowly. As we were walking I noticed Tris was quieter than usual almost as if her head was somewhere else. I nudged Zeke pointing at her like 'what's up with her?'
He shook his head sadly replying, "She'll tell you if she wants to. It's just not a good time." I nod dropping the subject. We walk the rest of the way in silence and get in the car. Zeke is driving. Tris is simply staring out of the window lost in her thoughts.
Zeke glances over at her frequently, seems to have an internal debate and says, "Ri. Ri. Ri it's alright okay? Don't worry we'll get through it. After that's what brothers are there for right?"
Tris smiles a bit and replies, "Don't forget annoying the heck out of me."
Zeke smirks flashing his troublemaker smile at her saying, "Of course Trissy how could I forget that?"
Tris smacks him across the chest muttering 'Drama queen' under her breath. They both smile and look ahead. It's times like this that make me slightly jealous I've never had anyone who cared for me like this well except my mother but she's dead now so that doesn't matter.
Then we all chat the rest of the way although Tris is still a bit quieter but at least she isn't staring off into space like before. We finally arrive at the new apartment. I had already set everything up before so I don't have to do too much unpacking.
Zeke then leaves claiming he has work to do. This leaves me alone with Tris who looks at me before asking, "Movie?"
I shrug and reply, "Sure. Why not? You pick"
She brings out her laptop and chooses a random movie and while that his happening she takes stock of my pantry getting all the snacks. Then she pops the popcorn getting two big bowls for both of us and we settle on the couch sitting not too far apart but not really close either.
I desperately want to close the gap between us but I can't do that. Not yet at least.
Tris POV
Oh Gods I just really want to close the gap between us and just kiss him but I can't do that. Not yet Tris.
I absently watch the movie while the events of the past few days flash in my mind. Finding Four was in a crash. Him finally waking up after three whole days. I felt so relieved that I almost cried. It felt like a burden had lifted off my shoulders. Over the next three days both of us talked a lot. It was absolutely random talks but both of us enjoyed it sometimes we just sat in silence but it was enough for us.
I remember that morning when he had woken up before me. Despite having just woken up he looked like he had walked out of a photoshoot with that messy and adorable bed head his bright blue eyes and his sleep laced voice which was impossibly deep in the morning.
But then I remembered that in two days it would be my parents' death anniversary. They had died in a car crash but I for one didn't believe that it was an accident. One of the main reasons was that the driver of the other car wasn't even injured that much and the car had been later identified as Erudite but the police didn't have enough proof for that so it was dropped.
I knew why my parents were targeted they knew about the Erudite's ties to the Mafia and were almost onto them but they were killed before that and now I hope that I can avenge their deaths and show Erudite's reality to everyone.
I was now feeling really tired the movie was halfway through and my head suddenly landed on someone's shoulder. I instantly realized that it was Four we had moved towards each other without even realizing it but I was far too gone to care about the closeness between us I let my eyes close and my head drooped onto his shoulder.
Four POV
I'm lost in my thoughts when I feel a head against my shoulder I look down and see Tris her eyes are closing and she looks tired for a moment she looks like she's having a debate with herself but then her eyes close completely and her breath evens out showing me that she is asleep.
I smile down softly at her sleeping form. She looks absolutely beautiful with a few strands of her blonde framing her face. I softly move it out of her face my hands lingering on her cheeks a bit. She suddenly turns and leans into my touch. The gesture warms my heart and feels me with happiness. I slowly put an arm around her shoulders and feel tired myself.
I quietly place a kiss on her forehead whispering a soft goodnight, place my head on top of hers and drift off myself. It might be a bit weird in the morning but right now I couldn't bring myself to care even a little bit.
Zeke POV (Bet you didn't expect that, did you?)
I close up the office making my way out. I'm still worried a bit even though Four is alright I can't help but worry he's like a brother to me and then there's Ri. I know this is a really hard time for her right now, Natalie and Andrew anniversary is in two days so she is feeling miserable but hides it. I decide that I'll stop by Four's house to check in on him.
On the way I wondered what he and Doctor Solace talked about. He looked a bit shaken after that and was lost in his thoughts for quite a long time.
Finally I reached the apartment. I had a spare key which Four gave me just today. I quietly unlock the door and step inside looking around. The sight I see next almost has me squealing out loud like Christina.
Four and Ri are sleeping together. No not in that way you dirty freaks. The laptop still has the movie running I quietly shut it. They have a blanket draped over them Tris is on Four's shoulder and Four has his arm around her, his head on top of hers' both of them are sleeping or more like cuddling. I wonder if they have kissed yet. They would make and adorable couple for sure (#FourTris4ever)
I quickly snap a picture for you know blackmail purposes. I decide not to tell anyone about it just yet but I'm doing that soon.
A/N And that's the end folks. I hope you liked it. FourTris are just adorable, right? Anyways for the announcement now:
