Chapter 5

~Tris~

"Eric we need your help, Lynn came to my apartment five minutes ago telling me that Tris never came back to the dorm tonight! I'm about two seconds away form getting Max and issuing a full scale lock down and search party!" I hear my brother frantically plead with Eric. "Please tell me she's here?" I'm half asleep in Eric's bed waiting for my brother to connect the fucking dots and be on his marry little way!

Tobias is slower than Christmas on a normal day; don't even get me start on how retarded he is at one in the morning!

Suddenly the bedroom door is slung open and there stands Tobias and I see the stick up his ass is still in place, well, it may have just been pushed up further, if the look on his face is any indication; I'd say he's beyond pissed!

But so am I when I'm rudely woken from a deep sleep!

I narrow my already lazy eyes at the asshole. "Tobias I told you that if you would remove that stick you would feel better!" I tell him just as a damn yawning sneaks up on my sleepy ass.

I can see that he's still intending on swallowing his own foot tonight by the look in his eyes. "What the hell are you doing in Eric's bed Tris?" See, open mouth then insert foot, moron!

"Well, Mr. Jump to conclusions; I was sleeping if you must know!" I growl at him and lay back down to cuddle with my pillow because Eric is still standing at the foot of the bed glaring at my brother.

"Get your shit I'm taking back to the dorms..."

"...Tobias" I yell cutting him off as I sit up. "You're my bother and I love you but this conversation is over!" He looks like he is about to protest I put my hand up to stop him. "Stop it Champ, you need to go your ass home and let me and my boyfriend go back to sleep, and yes, all we were doing was sleeping!" I tell Tobias sternly then lay back down.

After a few seconds Tobias looks at Eric and nods before they both walk out of the room! I hear muffled voices right before I hear the door shut.

I'm almost asleep again when I feel Eric wrap his arms around me but I'm to far gone to notice anything else.

I'm woken up some time later by being crushed by Eric's massive body! The jackass is lying on top of me with his face in my neck! I try to push him off but its no use because he's dead weight right now and too fucking heavy to begin with, so I just smack him in the back of his head hard.

"What the hell you crazy woman?" He growls at me rudely but he's not fucking moving at all.

"Your crushing me asshole!" I wheeze out from beneath him causing the sexy bastard to chuckle before rolling his big ass over and pulling me on top of him.

"Sorry baby!" He mumbles as he kisses my neck softly. "What time is it?" He asks against my skin moments later.

"How the fuck should I know? I was just buried under massive amounts of muscle!" I look at him like he's crazier than me!

He just shrugs and looks over to his left.

"We need to get up Tris, if we don't we're going to be late and you have to fight today!" Eric Kisses my lips then tosses me on the bed before standing and stretching that sexy body of his.

Damn I think I just drooled!

"We'll be in the in the main training room this morning so we cannot be late!" Eric tells me sternly before turning back to me only to chuckle because I'm still staring at his ass and I think that there is more drool in the corner of my mouth than there was a minute ago.

I just nod my head and swipe at my mouth once I have those motor skills under control as I try to get up but before I can Eric grabs me and pins me to the mattress and kisses me stupid. When he's satisfied he gets up and walks into the bathroom and starts the shower.

Without a single word. Jackass!

Once I've regained my basic motor skills once more I start to get ready before making my way to the kitchen; following the sweet smell of coffee...

Eric must have it set on a timer.

After I fix my coffee to my liking, I start chugging it and burn the shit out of myself but I don't care because this is the best damn coffee ever! I'm on my second cup when Eric walks in the kitchen looking all kinds of yummy.

Once Eric and I are finished drinking unhealthy amounts of caffeine we leave his apartment and head to the training room.

"Make Tobias pair me up with Peter today!" I ask Eric out of the blue and causing him to pull me to a stop. "I need to let out some frustration on someone and I can't do that to a nice person! Please Eric?" I poke my bottom lip out causing him to chuckle at me.

"I'll see what I can do you crazy girl!" He grins at me and shakes his head.

Once the fights start I tune everything out and close my eyes with a smile on my face because as it turns out, Eric didn't have to talk Tobias into pairing me with Peter, our names were already paired together when we arrived.

Yep my brother knows me better than anyone!

I look to the board and see that Uriah and Lynn won there fights and Tobias is yelling my fucking name like I'm deaf or something.

"Are you ready to fight Tris or do you need a nap first?" I hold my hand up and force a yawn just to piss Tobias off before grinning at Eric and walk exaggeratedly slow to the mat and stand in front of Peter and staring at him blankly. "Go" Tobias yells and Peter takes a swing at me I let him make contact with my cheek just to piss me off.

His hit is hard enough to turn my head and it does the trick to piss me off perfectly, but I don't fall!

I see Peter shaking out his hand like he hit a brick wall. Yeah dude, I have a hard head. I vaguely hear Tobias yell "Oh Shit!" When a huge grin creeps up on my face! Oh yeah, big brother knows what I'm doing.

Peter moves to punch me again but this time I grab his fist mid swing and twist it behind him and pin it to his back while slamming my fist into his shoulder blade, effectively dislocating it before taking his legs out from under him, causing him to fall on his ass.

I back up from him just to give him a chance to get up!

"She's playing with him now!" I hear my brother tell someone just as Peter comes charging me. When he's close enough I step to the side and plant my knee in his stomach; using his momentum to drive the force of my knee to crippling levels.

Peter falls to the ground with a loud groan. "Come on you big baby!" I taunt him like I heard him taunt his friends opponents as they fought. "You joined dauntless Pecker; now act like it!" I shake my head when he doesn't try to pick himself off the floor."Oh well, people make stupid decision every day!" I turn to walk away but before I get too far I spin my leg around and planting my foot into the side of his face hard and fast; knocking him completely out."Bet you won't try to bully me anymore asshole!" I shake my head down at the jackass before leaving the fighting mat and walking back over to a grinning Lynn and Uriah.

"That was awesome!" I shrug like it's no big deal as I chug my water and look around to see that everyone is stunned and quietly looking at me like I'm crazy. "What? Are you guys going to just stand there and stare all day and look at me like I'm standing here naked or something?" I roll my eyes at the assholes.

The only ones that aren't in shock are Tobias and Eric and that is only because they both know that I was trained like a dauntless for most of my life.

I begin to head to the door when Tobias calls lunch but before I can leave Max asks Tobias, Eric and I to stay behind.

"Okay" Max speaks up after everyone is gone. "I don't think it would be wise to let Tris continue to fight the other initiates anymore, she seems more deadly than you Tobias and it makes me miss Nat." Max looks at all of us as he rocks back and forth on the balls of his feet. "How is she by the way?" He ask looking at me directly.

"Good" I answer honestly and give him a strange look.

"That's good!" Max looks at me for a split second, then looks at Tobias. "I think we should just let her choose her job now and start training her for that because there's nothing we can teach her here that she doesn't already know! With that said, all three of you meet me in my office after lunch and she can pick her job and get her apartment!" Max moves to the door but yell over his shoulder before he leaves. "We can announce it at dinner tonight to the rest of the faction!" Even though Max has already left the training room we all nod our heads in answer.


I'm sitting in between my two favorite guys at lunch still in shock at the fact that I'm a member already, and after a while of just staring off into space Eric leans down and whispers in my ear. "I'm proud of you and so fucking glad your mine!" I smile and rub his leg under the table saying thanks without the words.

"Come on you two, Max is waiting in his office for us!" Tobias gets up from the table. "Lynn, go train with Zeke and Uriah until I get back!"

"So" Tobias starts and bumps his shoulder with mine as we walk towards Max's office. "I was thinking that you should become a leader and work with Eric and I, hell, it seems only fitting." I look to Eric just as he gives me a nod.

"That job is available?" I ask.

"Yep!" They both answer at the same time.

"And you both really think that I should take it?" I honestly would love to work with my brother and boyfriend.

"Definitely!" Eric kisses my cheek as the three of us come to a stop in front of Max's office door.

When we walk in Max speaks right away. "Did you ask her?" I asks Tobias.

"Yes..." I say strongly before Tobias can answer him."...and I'll take it Max!"

Max beams at me proudly."Great, here is your keys to your office and your apartment!" Max hands me a set of keys. "You now live in between your brother and your boyfriend!" Max smile at mine and Eric's stunned expressions. "Tobias told me at lunch and you two are free to go public if that is what you want!" He tells us as he continues to laugh at us. "Eric your going to start her training in two days after she's situated and after the war games!" Eric nods and Max continues. "Both your office and apartment are newly furnished Tris, so you won't have to worry about that." Max stands and hugs me causing me to stiffen and look at him like he's lost his mind. "Okay you three get the hell, out I have work to do!" Okay!

"You remind him of mom!" Tobias tells me once we leave the office.

Like that explains being hugged by a big bad dauntless leader!


I'm getting ready for dinner in my new apartment when there's a loud knock on my door. When I open the door I see Eric standing in front of me laughing his ass off! Now, when I say laughing I mean tears running down his face and doubled over laughing. I look to when he tries to point his finger and see Tobias with a bright blush on his face standing next to Lynn, but that's not what shocked me! What has my jaw on the floor is the fact that my brother has his arm slung around Lynn's waist with his hand on her hip!

I look back at Eric with my hands on my hips. "What did you do?" I ask him sternly.

Once Eric has calmed down enough to speak he wraps his arms around me tightly. "Oh baby, you're going to be so proud of me!" He whispers in my ear after I let everyone in and shut my door. I wave my hand motioning for him to continue. "Well, when I walk out of my apartment your brother and Lynn were walking out of his apartment and both of them looking more than a little...untamed!" He lets out a chuckle and takes a couch pillow to the face from my brother.

I snatch the pillow away from Tobias and glare at him then look back at Eric when he continues.

"So, I asked if he finally took your advise by getting laid!" Eric laughs and points at my brother and I notice he's currently imitating a tomato. "I also asked if he pulled the stick out of his ass or did he let Lynn do it!" At this point Eric and I are on the floor crying from laughter.

Once we calm down I look over at Eric with a huge smile."Oh baby that deserves a big reward!" I kiss him sweetly on the lips before I look at Tobias and the fucker is still blushing.

I turn back to Eric and point it out. "In less than 24 hours you have accomplished something that no one else can!" I smile at Eric and he looks at me like I'm crazy, causing me to roll my eyes before I continue. "Eric you've not only managed to make me blush, but you just made Tobias blush also! That's never happened; we don't blush, hell, we can't even make each other blush! Yes, we can make each other turn red in anger and frustration but not in embarrassment!" I finished looking at him in amazement.

I get up off the floor and help Eric to his feet just to kiss him senseless.

I hear Tobias mumble something I don't care to comprehend before pulling away and grabbing Lynn's hand and pulling her out the door towards the dinning hall for dinner, and leaving the guys in my apartment...

Its time for some girl talk!
