Hiya!
Here's the update (It's a bit short, but it'll have to do!)
The beginning's a bit gory, but I think you can handle it.
If you don't want to read the gory bit, skip 2 paragraphs and read from there. After, it gets super Fluffulicous!

I run into the ring, putting a hand on Peter's shoulder. His is unconscious, but still breathing heavily. I shift my hands under his limp body. I lift him, stumbling a bit. My arms are red with blood, his blood. I take a step, his body heavy in my arms.
Once I'm out of the ring, another set of arms slide under mine. Tobias'. He pulls the body out from my arms, and walks to the infirmary, and I follow. He puts Peter down on a cot and tells a nurse what happened. She nods, and carts Peter away. We return, and go back to our seats.
"Are we really going to keep playing after that happened?" Will asks, looking shocked.
"Well, yeah. What else can we do?" Zeke says. "Well it was Peter's turn, but he's not here anymore, so I'll take this turn. Brother dear, Candor or Dauntless?"
"What do you think, I'm not a pansycake!" Uriah says, rolling his eyes.
"Ooh, why don't you go and ask your little crush out over there out?" Zeke says, motioning to Marlene. Uriah's face turns bright red, but he then leans over to Marlene and kisses her. She blushes too, and Uriah whispers something in her ear as he pulls away.
"Ok, um, Will, you know the question." Uri says, his blush fading, replaced by a smug smile.
"Dauntless" Will replies without a thought.
"I dare you to... Dye your hair green!" Uriah chuckles.
"God no!" Will says and pulls his shirt off. Uri looks disappointed as Will asks "Lynn, Candor or Dauntless?"
"DAAAAAUNTLESS!" Lynn says.
"Let Chris give you a makeover."
"Nah." Lynn says and pulls her shirt off.
"But... but... but..." Chris looks disappointed, and gives Lynn puppy eyes.
"I'm sorry Chris, but I really don't want you to mess with my face." Lynn says. Everyone laughs, but then they quiet down as Lynn asks, "Marlene, Mixing it up here, Dauntless or Candor?"
"Everyone's doing Dauntless, so I'll go with Candor."
"Do you like Uri? And if so, when did you start to like him?" Lynn asks, smiling deviously.
"Yes, I like Uri, and I started to like him when initiation started." Marlene states blatantly. "Chris, Candor or Dauntless?"
"Dauntless, 'cause that's mah faction." She says, tilting her chin up proudly and crossing her arms.
"I dare you to dye your hair red. Someone has to dye their hair before this game ends." Marlene says.
"Ok," Chris says, "But only the tips." She stands and walks to the hair salon. I didn't know that there was one in the Dauntless compound, but here we are. Chris picks the color, and the lady sets about dyeing the tips of Chris's hair. Once she finishes, we marvel at Christina's hair. It looks really good. The red is not too bright, but it stands out on her brownish hair.
We decide that we've had enough Candor or Dauntless for one evening, so we head back to our rooms and go to sleep. Tobias says goodnight to me outside my apartment, and I return the favor, before stepping in the door and into bed. I fall asleep in a matter of minutes.
I wake up to a knock on my door. I roll over in my bed and throw my covers off, walking to the door, sleep still in my eyes. I throw open the door, ready to tell them to go away, but standing in front of my door is Four.
"Hi Tris." He yawns. He must still be tired.
"Why are you here?" I say, crossing my arms uncomfortably, aware that I am still in my pajamas.
"Nice to see you too." He chuckles, "I'm here to see my girlfriend. Is she in?"
"No. Go away." I slam the door, but then pull it open, laughing and gesture for him to come it. He does, and follows me to the kitchen, sitting at the table.
"Orange juice?" I ask and reach into the small fridge, pulling out a large carton. He shakes his head, and I pour myself a cup, sitting down in the other chair at the table. Tobias smiles, and I take a gigantic gulp of the sweet, orange liquid.
"So, why are you here?" I ask between sips.
"I... wanted to see you. I woke up in the middle of the night, and I could not fall back asleep. I needed to see you. Ah, I don't know maybe It's stupid, but I couldn't stop thinking about you." Four says, looking down, and pursing his lips.
I smile at him and his face brightens. "Then why didn't you come sooner?"
"I didn't want to wake you up." He replies.
"You should've just woken me up. Next time you feel like that, just come and wake me up." I say, still rubbing my eyes.
"Then you'll never get any sleep." He says, grinning as wide as he can. I smile back, and then he leans across the table and presses his lips firmly on mine. I bring my hand across the table to place it on his face, and almost knock my glass to the floor in the process.
My hand reaches his face, and I hold it. It is warm, and his skin is smooth. I pull back, looking him in the eyes and smile as I ask, "Better now?"
"Loads." Tobias says and smiles back. Then he stands, and walks to the door. He opens it and turns to look at me. "I'll get you a muffin." He says, and walks out the door, shutting it behind him.
I get dressed, and just as I slip my black long-sleeved shirt on, Tobias returns with a double chocolate muffin and a blueberry one.
"Blueberry or chocolate?"
"Chocolate. Please."
"Aww, but..." Tobias's face morphs into a playful frown.
"Fine. I'll take blueberry." I say and grab it from his hand. He smiles, and plants a quick kiss on my lips.
"I have control room first shift this morning." He says after a bite of his muffin. I nod, and he leaves again.
The day went by slowly. I napped, tried to do something, but failed and went back to sleep.
I hope you enjoyed that fluffalicious chapter!
See u later!
