BTW for those of my fellow writers, I've been reading Veronica Roth's blog on blogspot and it's absolutely awesome and I think y'all would like it if you would like to hear some stuff from her!
Tobias' POV
I walk upstairs after putting dinner in the oven. I was told that I would need to provide dinner for two for the next three weeks, so I tried to cook even though I'm not so great at it.
I look around for Tris, wondering where she wandered off to, and something flips in my stomach that I might have scared a Dauntless. But no, Tris is the type of Dauntless that will not run- I can already tell that.
I walk into the room I left her in, to find her curled up against the wall, asleep. I smile to myself. I find most Dauntless to be fearsome. But this one, although brave and strong and free like the others, she's really cute and vulnerable in ways.
I grab a blanket off the bed and wrap it around her, picking her up. I look over at the bed, thinking I should just move her there. Or maybe into her own room. But a part of me itches to see her as often as possible, so I carry her down the stairs, cradling her body against my chest. I walk through the kitchen, where I can easily see the couch in the living room.
I carefully set her down on the plush material, and her face looks peaceful and content- making her look younger than normal. Even in sleep- beautiful. I feel the urge to kiss her again, but decide to wait until she's awake.
I go back into the kitchen and continue to cook until everything is ready. I decide against setting the table and simply make two plates filled with vegetables and meat. I walk into the living room, setting the plates and two glasses of water down on the table. I stand over Tris, my shadow covering her whole body. The shade cast over her eyes is enough to make her stir, but I have to touch her arm for her eyes to flutter open.
I see my own reflection in her eyes, and I suppress the goofy grin I've only ever been able to show a few times in my whole life.
She wakes up and we eat dinner talking about random things- mainly the differences in our factions. I can't help the way my eyes grow wide and I feel a surge of excitement when she describes the Dauntless and their way of life. I'm surprised, but then again, some of the rumors about the Dauntless are actually true. I tell her about Abnegation, but as I expected- she did not act surprised.
We finish dinner and I clean up. "I think it's best if we get some rest," she says quietly, starting to face towards the stairs. "Goodnight, Tobias," she says, a quiet smile lighting up her face. I watch her walking up the stairs, and follow soon, sighing as I get into my own room. I fall against the bed, exhausted from all the exercise and excitement.
My eyes close and my head barely settles into the pillow before I am completely asleep.
Hey hey! I hope you liked it! I know these chapters are short and a little slow but I'm trying to push to the meatier part of the story! Thanks so much for reading! As usual, please review! I love your feedback!
