Tris POV
We all ate dinner in about forty minutes, laughing and enjoying each other's company. Tobias had released me once we got to the cafeteria, as the initiates still didn't know.
"Everyone ready?" Zeke asked, but Uriah shook his head.
"Noo, just one more slice of cake!" We laughed at him, and he ran to get the biggest slice he could, before returning, and shoving it into his mouth.
"Ten seconds and we leave you here, Uriah," I grin at him. His eyes widen, and he shovels the cake down his throat faster. We all stand and leave, holding in our laughter as Uriah nearly shouts after us, eventually giving up and swallowing the cake in his mouth. He then decides to run after us, cradling the rest of his cake in his arms.
We laugh at him when we're back at the apartment, and he finishes the cake. "You know we wouldn't have started without you, right?" Zeke asked as he got out the shot glasses and alcohol. Uriah glared at him. "Four, you can start," Zeke says, and all eyes turn on him.
"Okay, never have I ever been so drunk I've passed out." Zeke, Uriah, Lynn, Shauna and Christina drink.
"Never have I ever done it" I said, and everyone bar Lynn and Tobias took a drink. Zeke stared at Tobias.
"You never had anyone before Tris?" He asks, surprised. Tobias shakes his head and snakes an arm around my shoulder.
Christina's turn, "Never have I stayed in Abnegation for at least one night." Tobias, and I both drank, but none of the others did. They looked questioningly at Tobias, but didn't ask.
"Never have I ever slept while at work," Will grinned. Tobias, Uriah, Zeke and Marlene all drank their shots, and the rest of us laughed. "Well, I expected Zeke, but all of you?" They shrug at us.
"Never have I ever finished reading a whole book," Uriah said. I glared at him and downed my shot, so did Tobias and Will. I was surprised Christina didn't.
"Never have I ever gotten more than one result on an aptitude test," Marlene said. My eyes went wide, but none of us picked up out shots.
"Um, I don't think that's a particularly fair one, Marlene. While some of us my trust others with our secrets, we don't know how far Jeanine will go to find all the Divergents, and some people could betray others to get there." Marlene glanced at Tobias.
"It sounds like you're one then, Four. Or at least, someone you like is one." I can't help but shake a little, Marlene's voice is cold, and unemotional.
"I know a lot of people in Dauntless are Divergent, that's just from the past two years as the main trainer. I will not be betraying their trust to tell you who, though." I feel Tobias' arm tighten slightly around me, and I rest my head on his arm.
"Fine." Marlene rolls her eyes, "Lynn's go."
"Never have I ever kissed someone of the opposite sex, who wasn't in my family" she said, everyone in the room took a drink there.
"Never have I ever been to Erudite," she grinned. Will and I both took our shots, as did Marlene, which got all of us confused.
"I have to get medicine from there," she shrugged.
"Never have I ever held a baby," it was Zekes turn now. Tobias, Shauna, Lynn, Marlene and I all took a shot.
"Never have I ever been down the zip line," Everyone took their shot. Zeke had dragged all the initiates their after we'd completed initiation.
"Never have I ever failed a test," I grin proudly. The entire dauntless born take their shots, as does Christina, but Tobias, Will and I don't.
"Never have I ever been in a car," Christina said, I groaned, and took my shot. Marlene took one too.
"Never have I ever had less than 10 fears," Will said. My eyes were red now, and I glanced around as Tobias, Uriah and I took our shots. I was really dizzy.
"Never have I ever thought about proposing," Uriah said. Tobias and Will both took their shots. Both Christina and I went wide eyed, I blushed, but I doubt anyone knew, as I was already red cheeked from the alcohol.
We kept going round, but I slowly lost track of what was going on. I was too drunk to realise anyway, since I had to drink most times.
Tobias POV
I looked around the circle, glad that I could cope with more alcohol than most of them. Tris looked as if she was about to faint, frowning, I looked up at the clock. It was nearly midnight. "Guys, I'm going to go put Tris to bed." They wined, but I ignored them, and picked her up gently.
"To-" Tris started to say, my eyes went wide, and I kissed her gently for a minute to shut her up.
"What?" I ask when I've pulled away.
"I'm not tired. And I can walk you know." She mumbled, stumbling slightly over her words, and she tried to glare at me, but I just laughed. Admittedly she was cute when she was drunk.
"I'm still going to carry you though," I reply. She pouts at me.
It's an easy walk back to my apartment. I can't be bothered to go up to hers, so I unlock the door and slide through, still with Tris in my arms. She yawns, and I can tell she's tired, but as I go to lay her on my bed, she drags me with her, kissing me forcefully, and rolling us over so she's straddling me. Without thinking about it, I return the kiss; my hands are at her waist, pulling her towards me and her hands slide under my shirt. She moans into the kiss, and I slowly pull back.
"Tris, you need to sleep, you're tired and drunk." She just shrugs as if she doesn't care, and leans down to kiss me again, but I pull back. "Tris, don't do something you'll regret tomorrow." She doesn't stop trying and I sigh, pushing her back away from me. "Tris, stop it."
"Don't you want me?" she asks, her lips turning into a frown. "I want to do this."
"No you don't, Tris, that's just the alcohol. And I don't want you when you're like this. You shouldn't be drunk. Now go to sleep." She glares at me, and I sigh, "Sorry."
Instead of responding, Tris climbs off me and pushes me so I fall on the floor, hitting my head. I raise my hands to check if there's any blood, thankful when I see that there isn't, and then sigh. The floor it is then.
I woke in the morning with a light headache, reminding me of the drink yesterday and the fact that Tris pushed me off the bed. I groan, sitting up and looking around. Tris was still asleep, and I figured it was best to let it be that way. I stumbled about once I was up, grabbing something from one of my cupboards for food, and then walking to the Control Room. Time to do some real work…
Becca's POV
I woke late today, surprised at how tired I had been. The first few days of training, although not physically hard, still took their toll. I looked around and noticed about half the beds were empty, although some still had people sleeping in.
"Morning," I heard behind me, I looked round to see the black hair of Daniel. He looked up again after fixing something, and smiled at me.
"Morning," I replied, glancing at what he was wearing. "Are you going somewhere?"
He nodded, "I've gone out for a run each morning, trying to get fit," he shrugged. "I figured it'd help for the physical part of training." I nodded, and he smiled at me. "Want to come with me today?"
"Sure," I smile. I change quickly into training clothes so I don't hold him up to much, then walk out of the dorm and meet him there. "Where do you go?" I asked.
"Just follow me," he smiled at me and set off at a gentle pace. "I speed up at times, and slow down at others," he added, to make me aware. I nodded, following him. We ran in silence for a while, through the training rooms, and then he broke into a sprint. I did the same, though my sprint wasn't anywhere near as fast as his, and I soon fell behind, turning round several corners, trying to catch him. When I did catch him, he was jogging on the spot and I bumped into him.
"Sorry!" I said embarrassedly. He shrugged, holding my arm, as if he was trying to hold me up.
"Don't worry about it," he shrugged. "Ready to keep going?" I nod and we set off again, running at a reasonable pace. I realise we've done a loop as he leads me back through the training rooms and to the dorms.
"You do that every morning?" I ask, surprised. He nods.
"Yeah, I don't really want to be Factionless. My parents were furious enough that I came here, if I become Factionless it'll be even worse." We sit on our beds, facing each other.
"So what was Amity like?" I asked, intrigued.
"Peaceful," he laughs, "In a sense, not much different from here. A bit quieter, and obviously no fighting, but, I like it here. It's where I've always felt I've belonged." He let out a sigh, and I smiled. "What about you? You were from Abnegation, so this must be a huge jump?"
"Yeah…" I look down sadly. I missed my family, and almost wished I was back with them. "There was a lot of fighting going on at times; particularly against Marcus Eaton, the leader of Abnegation. They say he abused his son, and his son defected here, but no one knows him."
"Oh? Any other Abnegation that have transferred here, that you know of?" Daniel asked. I nodded.
"Beatrice Prior. I never really met her, or either of them, but there was a lot in the news against Abnegation because both her and her brother defected, although to different Factions." I smiled; it's been a long time since I've had a decent conversation with anyone.
"I'm going to grab a shower," he said, I nodded, needing to do the same, but decided to wait for him.
After both of us had showered, he smiled. "Want to go for Breakfast?" he asks. It's nearing 10am and I haven't eaten yet, so I nod. "Did you have any other family?" He asked as we walked to the Cafeteria.
I nod, "One brother, two sisters and my parents," his eyes go wide.
"That's a lot of family. What Factions are they in, or going to choose?"
"They're all older than me, so they've already chosen. My brother, Liam, transferred to Amity, my two sisters, Sophia and Chloe, transferred to Erudite and Amity, my mum transferred from Amity to Abnegation, and my dad from Candor to Abnegation." I sighed. My family may've been annoying at times, but I still love them. I can't believe it's only been four days since I saw them.
"Wow, so they all transferred?" he said. I nodded.
"Yeah. What about you? Any family and transfers?"
"I've got an older brother Marcus, he transferred from Amity to Candor, and a younger sister, Evie, she chooses in two years. I'm not sure if she'll chose Amity, Erudite or Dauntless yet." He grins. "My parents were both Amity born, so they were disappointed when I transferred here."
"Do you think they'll still visit you?"
"No chance," he sighs, "I'll miss them, but I know I made the right choice." He smiles. We continue eating our breakfast in relative silence, being left alone by those around us. I see Four stumble in at some point, and laugh a little, along with everyone else, but he quickly heads out. I wonder what he and Six are doing today, then shrug the thought away.
Tris POV
I woke later than I meant too, with a throbbing head, and ran to the bathroom. For the life of me I couldn't remember what had happened last night, and the thought scared me, even though I knew Tobias wouldn't let me do something I'd regret. I sat by the toilet for five minutes, waiting for the need to throw something up to go, and sighed when it didn't, but I needed food, so I left Tobias' apartment and headed, bleary eyed, down to the cafeteria.
I noticed that a few initiates were in there, despite it being gone 10am, but Tobias and Christina were nowhere to be seen. I rolled my eyes and sat at a table alone, slowly eating the food I'd picked. I still felt like I was going to throw up, but ignored the feeling, eating as much as I could before giving up.
I guessed Tobias was at work, and debated going to see him, but changed my mind as I yawned, and headed back to my apartment to sleep.
Tobias shook me awake a few hours later, grinning like an idiot. "What?" I asked sleepily.
"You're cute when you're sleeping," he shrugged, I rolled my eyes.
"What happened last night? I remember Candor or Dauntless, and then we played Never Have I Ever, but I don't remember how it ended or getting back to your apartment…" I frowned, sitting up in the bed to watch him.
"Um, well, you pushed me out of the bed after…" he paused, and I just stared at him, waiting. "You tried to go further than you would've wanted to." He looked at me, and saw my eyes go wide, with worry. "Don't worry. We didn't... I didn't want you to do something you'd regret." He gives me a half smile. I return it, and tug on his arm to bring it closer to me, eventually pulling him onto the bed. I fit my lips to his, saying thank you.
"I love you," I sigh, breaking away from the kiss.
"I love you too, Tris."
