Hey guys,
So, shocker at the end of chapter 11 right? And it wasn't Tobias who initiated that kiss, it was Tris. Omg, what will happen next? Continue readying to find out :P
Tobias POV
I sit on the rock in the chasm for who knows how long.
Tris kissed me.
Those are the only three words running through my head. Why would she kiss me? She has Uriah and I told her if she was happy to not let me interfere. But instead she is the one that complicates things by kissing me.
What am I going to tell Uriah? Wait. I can't tell him anything. It would break his heart.
I don't move until my growling stomach prompts me to. I look down at my watch and see it is time for dinner. I slowly get up and stretch. I make my way up to the railing of the chasm and step over it. Not really paying attention to my surroundings, I make my way to the cafeteria.
I look around like I did this morning and see Tris's group of friends, who have turned into mine, sitting at their normal table. Since I haven't eaten since this morning, I get doubles of everything and make my way over to the table. "Any room for me?" I ask with a forced smile. The group looks up at me and Christina nods to the open seat next to Uriah.
I take the seat before I realize this is where Tris would normally sit. I don't make note of it because Christina beats me to it. "Guys, where's Tris?" she asks and they all look at one another and then to Uriah. He just shrugs his shoulders, "I haven't seen her since we got back from zip-lining." Then they look at me.
"The last time I saw her, I was walking to the elevator and she was getting out. I had her hold the door for me." I lie. God, I could never be Candor. I lie way too easily.
I decide to finish my food quickly so I can go look for her. By the time, I'm done most of the people at the table are barely halfway done. I stand up without saying anything and leave the cafeteria, throwing my trash away in the process.
I have to find her. Part of the reason no one knows where she is, is because of me.
Tris POV
I continue running until my legs finally give out. I collapse on the ground in a heap and curl up into a ball. Why do I keep doing this to myself? Something happens, and my first instinct is to run. I am a coward, I run from my problems. If I was brave, I would face them head on but I can't. Instinct takes over and I flee.
When Uriah had kissed me at first, I intended to do exactly what I am doing now. Run until I no longer can. I don't even know where I am so I sit up and look around. I can see the lights coming from the Erudite headquarters as well as the train.
I'm not too far away from the train tracks so I get up and try to shake off the tiredness my body feels from running. I look down at my watch, 9:45. I didn't realize how long I have been gone. I start to walk toward the tracks and wait for the train.
At exactly 10 o'clock, I feel the rumble of the train and see the light. I take off in a sprint and jump into the last car as the train passes. I land on my side and I groan. Two hands pick me up and I smell a familiar scent coming from the person who picks me up. Once I am on my feet, I turn around and come face to face with Tobias.
"Thanks," I say quickly before going to the other side of the car and slide down the wall. Tobias just stands there, staring at me. Almost as if he is analyzing me. "How did you know I was going to be here?" I finally ask him and I think I surprise him because he jumps out of his train of thought.
He walks over to me and sits down so he is facing me. "I didn't. I was going to the Abnegation sector to see if you went to your parents but you jumped on before I got there." He says. I look up at him and he looks nervous for some reason. The silence envelops us again but this time, the chasm water isn't here to keep it from being completely silent.
Finally, he breaks it. "Why did you do it Tris?" he asks. "I don't know Tobias. My body acted before my brain. I can't explain what happened because I honestly don't know. One minute we're talking and the next, we're kissing." I respond and he stays quiet.
"Time to get off," he says a few minutes later and I don't question. He jumps off and I follow him. When I land though, the surroundings are not what I expected. We are exactly where we were for capture the flag.
"This isn't the Dauntless compound," I state but he just ignores me. He reaches out and takes my hand in his and for some reason, I don't resist. We lace our fingers together and start to walk toward the Pier. When we get to the carousel, Tobias turns to me.
"Go over to the Ferris Wheel. Get in the first car and wait for me okay?" he says and I nod. I follow his directions and go sit on the car at the bottom of the Ferris Wheel. Tobias shows up a minute later and jumps in the car. "What's going—" I cut myself off when I feel the wheel start to move and the lights turn on.
"What about your fear of heights?" I ask. I know that that is one of his fears because he told me when we climbed during the game. His lips twitch into a smile, "It's okay. I thought that it would be fun to bring you here. I didn't know if the wheel was going to work again but I does." I smile at him and twist my body so I am looking out at the city.
I start to get cold after a little while and Tobias must notice. He whips his jacket off before I can protest and leans forward to wrap it around my shoulders. I smile gratefully at him and he returns the smile. I snuggle into the jacket and curl my feet underneath me. The city looks so dark but yet so full of life at the same time.
Tobias POV (sorry for the jumps but this is the last one)
Tris falls asleep on the Ferris Wheel and I just watch her sleep for a little while. She looks so beautiful. I hadn't planned for this to happen but I just wanted to be alone with her for a little while so I brought her here. She enjoyed it and that's all that matters.
After some time, I look down at my watch and see it is almost eleven thirty. When we get close to the ground I turn myself and jump out of the car, landing on my feet. I walk to the control panel and turn off the wheel when and it slowly comes to a stop and I luck out when I see Tris on the car at the very bottom. At least I won't have to climb to get here.
I walk back over to the wheel and open the door. Tris lies there so peacefully so I just tuck my arms under her knees and neck and pick her up. She shifts a little when I do but doesn't wake up.
We slowly make our way to the train. I try not to sway too much because I don't want to wake her. When we get there I decide I won't be able to jump with her so I have to wake her up.
I kneel down on one knee and put her legs over the bended one. I use my free hand to brush some of the fallen hair out of her face and she snuggles closer to my chest. "Tris. Come on Tris, you have to wake up." I say sweetly. She stirs and puts her face into my chest. I can feel her hot breathe through my shirt and it makes me shiver slightly.
"Come on Tris. The train will be here soon." I say and absentmindedly rub her cheek with my thumb. She turns her head slightly out of my chest and opens one of her eyes. "Tobias?" she asks and I nod. She puts one hand on my shoulder and pulls herself up so that she is in a sitting position on my knee.
I am hyper aware that there is inches between our faces. I could easily lean in and kiss her but I resist, for now. "Where are we?" she asks and her eyes meet mine. I smile slightly, "We are at the tracks. You fell asleep on the Ferris Wheel and I carried you here." She smiles at me and lays her head on my shoulder. I am surprised but it's probably just because she is tired.
We wait for the train in silence, and when it comes I jump on first and pull her in after me. We both settle against the wall of the train, me leaning against it, and her against me.
The ride doesn't take long but when I turn to tell her it's time to get off, I see she is fast asleep again. I know I can jump off with her so I don't bother waking her up.I gently pick her up in my arms and prepare myself for the jump.
In the end, I land on my feet and start to walk back to the compound. I enter the glass building at the top and walk down to the Pit. It's empty except for a few stray Dauntless so I go unnoticed. When we get to the elevator, I lean Tris down on my knee again and grab my keys out of my pocket.
I put in the key to my apartment and the doors open. I carry a still passed out Tris into the elevator. When the doors open again, I realize that she is going to have to stay with me since I don't know what happened to the extra key I have for her apartment and take her into my bedroom.
I gently lay her down on my bed and cover her with the blanket I keep at the bottom. I smile at her sleeping form before going out into the kitchen to get something to eat.
When I get out there I see a half awake Zeke standing next to the fridge. "What are you doing?" he asks. "I don't know what you're talking about. Go back to bed, it's after 1." I say and he shakes his head. "Why did you bring Tris in here a few minutes ago? Hadn't she been missing since dinner?" he asks before turning and grabbing something from the fridge.
I sigh, "She jumped on the train while I was looking for her. Instead of bringing her right back here, I took her to the Ferris Wheel. I got it to work and we rode it for a while. She fell asleep so I took her back to the train and we both got on. She was asleep again when it was time to get off so I jumped off with her and brought her back here. I can't remember what I did with the key Max gave me so I just brought her here." He smirks at me knowingly.
I roll my eyes and push him out of the way before grabbing a piece of cake I left in the fridge and a water bottle. "Do you happen to know why she would disappear today?" he asks. Ugh! Why does he always have to be so nosy?
"No," I lie but I know Zeke can't tell. He just shakes his head at me again and goes into his room. I finish up the cake and bring the water bottle back into my room.
I slip of out of my shirt and grab an extra pillow and blanket from the closet before settling down on the floor.
A/N: Hey guys, watcha think? I liked it. Some FourTris fluff.
So… question. What type of chapters do you guys like best? Should I start making the chapters longer or do you like the 1800-2400 word count chapters? Do you prefer longer chapters but less of them or shorter chapters but more of them? Let me know.
