Insurgent – Chapter 5 (pg 46-51) – Tobias' POV

We are one

I wake up when I hear my door creak and I see her face there. Tris. I stare at her for a moment then speak up.

"C'mere," I shift back slightly on the bed to leave space for her.

While she approaches me, I notice she is only wearing a long red t-shirt the amity lend her. I skim her bare legs with my eyes, and then she catches my eye, so we both look away and blush. She lays down next to me, facing me.

"Bad dream?" I ask. She nods silently.

"What happened?"

She doesn't answer. Stupid, I thought. With all this happening… How could she not have nightmares? I move my hand to her check and gently caress it with my thumb.

"We're all right, you know," I say quietly, and pause for a moment. "You and me. Okay?"

She just nods, and I know she's hurt. "Nothing is alright. But we are." I say against her cheek, whispering.

"Tobias," She says. Then the next moment she presses her mouth to mine. I love this. I kiss her back and move my hand over her side, along her waist, sliding it down her bare legs. She feels… good. She wraps her legs around mine and for a moment, I shiver. Does she possibly… want me? I keep my lips pressed against hers, savoring the moment.

I then cautiously slide my hand on the small of her back and up the hem of her shirt. I hear a faint "Ooh…" escape her mouth. I press my palms to her lower back, pulling her close. I move my hand up and down her back and notice her shirt has gone up, just above her underwear. But I don't care, I don't care.

Hungrily, I kiss her neck softly over each crow, and then fit my mouth to hers. She puts her hands on my shoulder, and then I notice she's shaking. She's nervous. I move my lips away from hers and delicately brush the bandage on her shoulder with my fingers. She slowly pulls down her shirt, and for a moment, we just lie down together, our breaths mixing together. Then I notice the hurt look in her eyes, and tears start streaming down. What?

"Sorry" She mutters.

"Don't apologize" I say sternly, brushing the tears off of her cheeks.

I keep forgetting that she is capable of getting hurt. I just wish everything would be OK again. That all the factions to get along, that no one we love would die anymore… But that's impossible.

"I don't mean to be such a mess." She says, her voice cracking. "I just feel so…" She pauses, shaking her head.

"It's wrong" I say, trying not to cry. "It doesn't matter if your parents are in a better place – they aren't here with you and that's wrong, Tris. It shouldn't have happened. It shouldn't have happened to you. And anyone that tells you it's allright is a liar." She starts to cry loudly, and I wrap my arms around her. More tightly then I intend too, but she seems fine with it.

She keeps crying, her mouth slightly open and her cheeks wet with tears. I keep rubbing her back and wait for her to quiet down.

When she does, I say "Sleep." I pause for a moment, looking into her eyes. "I'll fight the bad dreams off if they come and get you."

"With what?" She says, wiping the stuff away from her nose.

"My bare hands, obviously." She wraps an arm around my waist, breathing heavily against my shoulder. I pull her closer to me, to let her know that when she is with me, I will do anything to keep her safe. So we stay there, together, and she starts to fall asleep.

"I love you, Tris" I whisper into her ear. I know she would answer, but she is far too gone. So I just fall asleep too.

Thanks everyone for reading! If you want me to try and do another part from the divergent trilogy in Tobias' point of view, just PM me. :)
