A/N: Hey guys! SO first off college is great! I love it so far! I didn't think I'd be able to get a new chapter out today, but I did it! Probably no chapter tomorrow because I have to work after school.
Disclaimer: I do not own divergent or it's characters.

Tobias POV
Tris and I have been "hanging out" almost every day since her failed date night. The only problem is she seems to be content being "just friends" and I want to be more than that. I want to be able to call her mine. To hold her hand in the hallway, and most of all, I want to be able to kiss her. I want to talk to her about my feelings but she just seems so content with how we are that I don't want to scare her away. I would rather be friends with her than not be able to see her at all. I also have very little experience telling people how I feel.
Tris POV
If only I could just tell Tobias how I feel. I mean I want to be more than friends with him but he seems to like being my friend and I would rather have him in my life than out of it. UGG! If only professing your feelings for someone wasn't so hard or scary. I know he wouldn't want to hurt my feelings if I told him so it would put him in an awkward position, and I would hate that.
…Skip to School…
I take my textbook out of my locker and someone closes it for me. "Um, excuse you, but I still needed my locker open." I say indignantly.
"Oh, well, I'm sorry." Christina giggles. I should of known it was her.
"It's okay, I was actually finished. I just wanted to mess with whoever did that to me."
"Okay, good. I thought you were mad at me." She smiles.
"So, How are you and Will?" I ask, she giggles again.
"Amazing. Will is just so… so perfect… you know?" As she talks about Will she becomes distant, as if she's off in some dreamland.
"I can imagine." I reply thinking of what kind of couple Tobias and I would make. Gosh! Stop thinking about something that will never happen! He is too perfect for someone like you! My brain yells at me. Gosh why do you have to be so harsh? I ask it, I don't get a reply.
"You're coming to the party tonight? Right?" Christina "asks" but I know that I really have no choice.
"Of course I am, I wouldn't miss it for anything." Don't think about that night… Don't do it. I tell myself. I'm mostly over what happened with Al. The part I don't want to remember is that morning with Tobias. The one I can never experience again, because he will never be mine.
Tobias POV
I sit in homeroom with Zeke. The morning announcements just finished and Zeke is making his own announcement. "PARTY AT MY HOUSE TONIGHT! BRING YOUR FRINEDS!" he yells and everyone nods their head in approval. Everyone loves a Pedrad party. "Hey Four, you should make a move on Tris tonight." He says to me.
"What are you talking about?" I ask pretending to be confused.
"You know what I mean. You have the hots for Tris and she's interested in you but both of you are too dam shy to do anything about it!"
"How do you know that?" I ask.
"Oh come-on! It's not like it was hard to figure out that you spend all your extra time with her! Besides every time you see or think about her you smile! If you don't make a move on her tonight then I will!" Who does he think he is? Making a move on my girl! But she's not my girl, but I want her to be. Ugg I'm going to ask her out tonight if it kills me!
"Don't you dare make a move on Tris, she's mine," I growl at him and suddenly I see laughter in his brown eyes and I realize he was kidding. I forgot he was dating Shauna. She would kill him if he looked at another girl wrong. "Fine tonight. I'll ask her out tonight."
"Perfect," Zeke says and his smile grows.
Tris POV
I'm exited to go to gym today. It means that I get to see Tobias, even if I do have to call him Four. As Christina and I walk to gym she suddenly pulls me to the side of the hallway. "You like Four don't you?" she asks.
"How do you know?" I complain. If she knows, who else knows?
"It's not like it hard. Every time you're going to see him you begin to smile and when you're near him, its like you two are in your own tiny little world."
"Fine. Yes I like Four."
"I knew it!" She squeals, "I'm going to hook you guys up tonight!"
"No! No! Don't do anything! Let me do it!" I exclaim. God knows what kind of plan she would come up with.
"Fine, but if you don't do it tonight I will do it for you!" She says and begins to continue the walk to the gym.
…Skip to Tris's House. Pre Party…
All the girls are at my house getting ready for the party tonight. Christina brought a giant bag of makeup and hair products and everyone else brought their party cloths. Tonight I decided to wear black skinny jeans that have rips up the front with black boots and a maroon top that shows a little too much cleavage for my comfort, but Christina says I have to look my "best" for tonight. I put on my silver hear necklace given to my by my parents for my 16th birthday and my Pandora bracelet. Christina sits me down in a chair and begins to put things on my face. I have no clue what she is doing to me or what it is she's putting on. Eventually I am allowed to look in the mirror. My hair falls softly around my face and onto my shoulders. My eyes are breath taking. The smokey eye Christina gave me makes my blue-gray eyes pop and seem more colorful and predominant. "Thanks Christina," I say and give her a hug. We leave for the party. Christina drives us all in her car.
When we get there the party is already in full swing. Cars line the street and you can hear the music from a block away. How do they get away with all this? I wonder. We enter the party like girls usually do. One in the front, Christina in this case, and the rest of us flanking her on either side. We all are ready to have a good time. We file onto the dance floor and begin to bust out all of our "moves." Lets just say we aren't very good at dancing. But hey what does it matter anyway? Half the people here are drunk and won't remember ever being here. Will soon joins us and Christina is ALL over him. And by all over him I mean they're grinding on each other. I will never understand why people like grinding or consider it "dancing" but I guess I'm just a different kind of person. I soon get sick of watching them grind so I leave the dance floor and go to find a drink. I grab a ginger ale out of the refrigerator. I think beer tastes grose, but anyway. I decide to look for Tobias so I can tell him how I feel. I look around and soon realize that he's not inside. I find him on the back porch. I sit down next to him. "Hey you," I say to him, remembering the second time we met.
"Hey yourself," He replies clearly remembering, "Whatcha doing?" He asks in a girly tone.
"Just looking for you." I reply in the same tone. He smiles at that.
"Hey, you wanna get out of here?" He asks and suddenly I'm feeling adventurous.
"Sure." I say and smile. We walk through the party and I stop briefly to tell Christina that Four was taking me home. She smiled and winked at that. "Use protection!" She shouts after me. I just role my eyes. When I return to Tobias he just looks at me with raised eyebrows. God, I hope he didn't hear what she said to me. I think and we walk out the front door. He opens up the passenger door of his truck for me and I hop in. I do mean hop though I seriously have short people problems. He gets in and starts the truck up then he drives to his house. When he parks in his driveway he looks at me an says "It's still kind of early I thought we could watch a movie or two."
"I love to watch moves with you," I say and we walk up to his house.
"Go sit on the couch I'll just grab a movie." I walk into the living room and notice something I didn't see last time. Family pictures. I go closer to them and pick one up. In the picture Tobias is about five years old and he's sitting on top of his dads shoulders, his mom has her hands around his fathers waist. She is breathtaking, even in a picture she looks so wild and free. I feel a presence behind me and I set the picture down. I take a breath and turn to face Tobias, I didn't realize how close he was though. His sent takes over me, making me tingle. I want to be close to him, to touch my lips to his. He looks down at me. His blue eyes telling me to do it, to be carefree like his mother, to actually live. I slowly reach my hands up to his neck and he puts his hands around my waist. Slowly his head comes down and mine goes up. Our lips touch and it's like nothing I ever expected it's caring and loving, but also strong and passionate. I know at that movement that I am his and he is mine. There is no turning back; there is no other option.
A/N: I was going to make you be patient and wait longer for some tobias/tris but I couldn't help it. It had to be done. They are just meant to be together. As always continue to review. Do you think Tobias/Tris should be awkward after or do you think that they should just become the awesome couple they are? Can't wait to hear from you.
