The metallic grey clouds that mix through the sky are still pouring rain over Tobias and I when we jump out of the train. As we approach an entrance to the Dauntless compound, I peek over at the worried but determined expression on his face that he is currently trying to hide.
I give a light squeeze to Tobias's hand to get his attention. He glances at me, and I wordlessly nod at him for reassurance, asking with my expression something along the lines of: "are you going to be okay?" He just forces a smile and nods back. "Together." I mouth, mostly because I don't think he would be able to hear me over the pouring rain, and I don't want to yell. But in all honesty, I think I do not want to speak because I know that if I do, all of the fear and anxiety I feel for him will be understood seconds after he would hear the first syllable come out of my mouth. And besides, there really should be nothing to be afraid of. We know what awaits us after the long dark fall. I am not even afraid of heights. But as I reconsider it, His fears are my fears, as mine belong to him also. It sort of makes me curious to whether or not our fear landscapes have changed.
I pull him down to my hight, and kiss him on the forehead when we reach the edge of the building. The hole that we need to jump into to escape the relentless rain falling from the sky is waiting patiently to consume us whole, sitting as massive below us as an infinite universe. Which It might as well be, because in Tobias's mind, we are about to fall forever through a dark hole into oblivion, or awaiting the ground to meet us for the world's quickest session of coffee and tea, and perhaps some face smashing, bone crushing, soul swallowing, destruction. Of course, he knows the real truth, but I can see that a million thoughts are running through his head right now.
I coax him forward a bit farther, until I am holding his hands behind my back, my toes dangling over the edge. He grips my fingers securely, protectively. I peek back at him, and tug him to my side. And in a wordless agreement, we jump.
The wind whips across my face and I feel the familiar pulse of adrenaline in my veins, as I so often do in Dauntless. I smile and shriek in joy, and then remember Four. I turn to him. He looks nervous, but he is smiling. I Laugh a little bit as our bodies' weight is absorbed by the net when we land. The net bounces us a bit from the impact, and I wind up lying on top of Four, my face just below his chin. He squints down at me with a smile, and reaches for the back of my neck. I let him pull me up so that our noses are almost touching, and then roll of the net and begin to jog away, giggling at his surprise.
A few moments later, he is jogging behind me, so I speed up a bit, but he picks me up from behind by tickling me, (which has turned out to be quite the weakness for me,) and carries me into a small cove in the hallway, the door to a supply closet of some kind. It is locked, but he just sits down in the hidden indent, me on his lap, and steals back the kiss that I so cruelly took from him on the net.
Hope you guys liked the pointless fluff in this chapter! I will have a better one up this weekend or early this coming week. Love you! Thanks so much for OVER 100 REVIEWS! That really means a lot! Keep reviewing! Bye!
Aly.
