I'm sorry. Here, I feel like crap, so you guys get a chapter. By the way, it's rated T; nothing happens. Byes.
Tris' POV
Waking up next to Tobias in the mornings would be the greatest; instead, I wake up to him on top of me. I try to get out from his sprawled body, but he keeps moving around. With his stomach on mine, I try to wedge my hand in between them, reaching his tickle spot. When I reach his rib cage, I start to wiggle my fingers around. I start to feel his chuckle, vibrating through his chest, turning into his laughter. When he finally opens his eyes, he starts to move his hands from my hips to my sides. When his fingers almost reach my back, he starts to to giggle. You heard me. Giggle. As my fingers stop moving, his start to move. Now I start to laugh.
"This seems fair." He says, trying not to laugh. I try to move his hands, but they won't budge. Instead, I go where he'll start to squirm really hard; his armpits. He doesn't realize that my hands are moving up his sides, so I take this opportunity to reach up quickly and then put my hands down. He jump off of me to the other side of the bed, screaming, "No! I'm done! I'm done!"
"That's what I thought." I say smirking. I sit up in bed, stretching. Tobias comes up behind me and puts his arms loosely around my hips, his hands on my thighs. His mouth is between my cheek and ear.
"Are we gonna get up, now?" He says as he starts to leave light kisses on my jaw. I don't speak, for fear that he'll stop. He keeps going down my neck, now leaving small, open kisses. His lips feel like they'll be there for the whole day, but they're gone the next second. His breath feels like a soft breeze, making me relaxed. He stops where my shirt - his - ends and just leaving his lips there, on my collarbone. I put my hand on top of his head.
"I love you." I say while kissing right next to his ear. He looks at me now.
"I love you." He says he starts to lean in; when I think that he's going to kiss my lips, he goes to the left, missing completely. With his arms still around me, he flips me around, so we're horizontal against the bed; him on top of me.
"Tobias." I say with my hands on his neck while he kisses behind my ear and under.
"Mmhm?" He mumbles. His nose is rubbing against my skin. I close my eyes.
"I think we have to go to work." I sigh. He looks at me in the eyes. His eyes. That's all I can say. They're so beautiful. Like him.
"Work can wait." He then puts his hand on my hips, his thumb skimming the skin under my shirt. He then kisses me. A real kiss this time. I sigh against his lips which tastes surprising like dauntless cake.
As we leave the apartment, him locking the door, I start to put my hands under his shirt, feeling the lines of his muscles. He turns around, the keys in the lock forgotten.
As we start to lean in, I hear down the hall, "Hey, guys!" We both turn to the voice. Leigton.
"Guys wait up!" He starts to jog towards us. Tobias and I separate, my blushing. Leigton looks at Tobias, then at me, then back at Tobias.
"Hey Four. How's it going? Oh, hey Tris." He barely acknowledges me and then goes back to Tobias. I frown at him. "So, any plans today? 'Cause I was thinking that we should go to the bar tonight." All three of us are now walking away from the hall and towards the pit, where we're going to separate.
"I don't know..." Tobias says, a little weary.
"Come on. You don't want a guys night?" Leigton, nudges his shoulder against's Tobias'. He then leans to whisper, a bit loud I might add, "A night away from the gals?" When Leigton finishes his sentence, Tobias reaches for my hand, and I let him.
"Leigton I'm fine." Tobias says, with his 'it's final' voice.
Leigton then says, "Oh. Okay. That's cool, but maybe some other time? Yeah? Okay. Bye Four." He says, walking away from us. Tobias and I are now in the noisy pit, where we will separate. We look at each other.
"That wasn't awkward." I state. He half-smiles.
"I know." Is all he says. "I'll pick you up for lunch?" He asks hopefully.
"We'll see." I say smirking while walking away. As I turn around, I hear him yell, "Wait! No kiss?!" I laugh to myself.
After work, I realized that I get out earlier than Tobias; to pass time, I walk around the Chasm, relaxed by the rushed waters.
"Hey Tris." I hear an aggressive voice. I frown. I turn to my left and I see Leigton with a serious face on. He walks up to me, hands made into fists.
"Yes?" I ask as is his appearance doesn't throw me off.
"I need you to stop being so clingy around Four." He points a finger at me. I let my mask fall and I let myself look confused.
"What?" I ask
"You heard me. Four doesn't need to be with you all the time. Let him be a man for once, not some mushy guy who's a love-sick puppy." He looks disgusted by me. "Stay away from him, or I'll make you stay away." He has a dead-on serious look on.
"O-okay. I'll try. Sorry for ruining your bromance." I hear myself say as he's starting to walk away. Thankfully he doesn't hear. Is Leigton what I think he is? I walk towards the control room, thinking this. Is he gay?
When I get to the control room, I knock before entering. I look around to see Tobias' chin resting on his hand while looking at the screen.
"Hey." I say softly, to not startle him. He turns around, his eyes turning soft and when he smiles, laugh lines appear.
"Hey." He summons me to where he's sitting. I grab a chair and set it besides him. He grabs my hand and kisses my palm while looking at my eyes. His eyes make want to hold him for eternity.
"I need to tell you something, but I'm not sure it's completely true." I say, thinking about what Leigton told me earlier. He looks half interested in what I'm saying, the other half looks interested in my lips and throat.
"I think Leigton's gay." He looks alert now. "And I think he likes you." He starts to laugh, his Adam's apple bobbing rhythmically.
When he's finally calmed down, he says, "I knew it. He's always been trying to do something with me. Saying 'Hey Four, let's go paintballing!' Or 'Hey Four, wanna share dauntless cake?'" He starts to smile. I start to smile as well.
His fingers start to feel my hand, going around my forearm, feeling the veins on my wrists, then finally settling between the spaces of my own.
"I love you. So much. I just love you." He says like it pains him.
Tobias' POV
I can only be blunt about this, there's no other way to say it. I look up at her. She's grinning.
"I love you, too. I think I love you more than Christina hates moths." She chuckles. I lean in to kiss underneath her ear. I keep my lips there as I say, "That's a lot. But I think I love you more than Zeke and Uriah love dauntless cake combined." She pulls back with a joking frown.
"That much?" She questions.
"That much." I say grinning at her. I lean in to kiss her lips this time. She grabs my chin, then sliding her fingers down my neck to my shoulder and her hand stays there. When her lips part, I smile against them, adding more pressure to the kiss. She sighs against my lips.
As I start to move my hand towards her hair, the door bursts open. We part and look to the door, where we find a blushing Zeke and Uriah, grinning like idiots with dauntless cake icing stuck between their teeth and on their nose.
"Hey guys!" Zeke says, waving his arm like there's a mile between us. I cover my face with my hands.
"Can you guys go away?" I mumble, but loud enough so they can hear.
Uriah, being the 'pansycake' he is, he says in a singy-song voice, "What's the magic word?"
I remove my hand and glare at him. "Now, Uriah." His eyes go a bit wide.
"That was two words, but they'll do for now." Zeke says this while closing the door. I look at Tris, who has an amusing smile on her face.
"Those two are impossible." She says while shaking her head.
While Tris is showering, getting ready for our special dinner-date, I start to put on some nicer shoes. When I finish tying the shoelaces, I can hear her start to sing.
Wise men say only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you
Shall I stay
Would it be a sin
If I can't help falling in love with you
I start to move toward the bathroom now.
Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be
So take my hand, and take my whole life too
Cause I can't help falling in love with you
I lean against the door to start humming to the song.
Like a river flows so surely to the sea
Oh my darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be
So won't you please take my hand, and take my whole life too
Cause I can't help falling in love, in love with you
I stop leaning because I can feel the doorknob turning.
Cause I can't help falling in love, falling in love,
I keep falling in love with you
At that last part, she came out and sang it, staring straight at me. She's fully clothed now, wearing the black dress Christina bought for her during initiation. She's wearing a bit of makeup, only eyeliner and a bit of blush; only because of this special occasion. I move slowly towards her, still mesmerized by the song she was singing.
"I... I've been falling in love with you." I say and before the last word comes out of my mouth, she crashes her lips to mine. I lift her from her feet, my arms around her waist. I spin us around, then I finally put her down.
I breathe heavily as I say, "We should go, our reservation might get cancelled because we'll be late." I say after one final kiss. I lick my lips while looking at hers.
She turns around while saying, "Okay. Let's go then." As if she's unaffected. I look down, past the equator. Well. My, my. I smirk.
"I can feel you staring." She says while opening the door to go to our 2nd year anniversary dinner-date.
By the way, that song was "Can't help falling in love" by Ingrid Michaelson, who I love. I feel like this is a crappy chapter, if anyone reads the author's notes.
