This story was supposed to just be pure smut, but this scene popped into my head and I couldn't resist throwing it in. Hope you like! Do me a favor and leave a review at the end!

Tris was sitting with Christina at breakfast the next morning when Eric walked in and swung himself down beside her with his food.

"Eric," she greeted with a note of surprise. Christina, however, was staring at him in absolute shock.

"What are-" she began, but cut herself off quickly. Looking like it was physically painful, she tried again. "What brings you over here?"

Eric couldn't help but chuckle, it was obvious that she was making a serious effort to break her Candor habits. It was also obvious she was struggling with it.

"Don't worry, you'll retrain yourself faster than you think," he assured with a grin. "And I'm over here because I wanted to talk to Tris, I ran into her in the training room late last night."

Eric's words had been both innocent and spoken in a casual tone, so it baffled him when Christina turned to give him a horrified look. Beside him, Tris put her face in her hands.

Eric glanced between the two girls in utter bewilderment. What the hell was he missing?

"Well I missed a memo," he said carefully.

Tris took a deep breath and turned to look at him. There was color blazing in her cheeks. "Um, yesterday Christina suggested I go to the training room after everyone went to bed and work on some stuff," she told him carefully.

His stomach curled slightly as he realized where this was probably going, and he felt blood begin to burn his face. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Christina snicker slightly when she noticed his blush.

"Yeah, I know there are some things that the Abnegation don't teach so I told her a few things she should... teach herself." Christina was grinning widely now that the shock had worn off. "When she came back she said it went well, but she never mentioned, ah, seeing you there."

Eric paused for a few seconds as he thought of how to respond. Clearly, he was busted. Shit.

Clearing his throat, he affected an offhand tone. "Yeah, she was having some trouble when I walked in but I gave her a hand." Literally.

Christina dissolved into laughter while Tris put her face back in her hands, groaning. Eric reached over and rubbed her back, laughing good naturedly.

"Calm down Tris, it's not that big of a deal," he assured. She gave him a look like he'd just started dancing on the table. "Really, it's not."

Out of the corner of his eye, Eric noticed Peter, Drew and Molly staring at him in shock from a table in front and to his right. Or more accurately, staring at the hand that was still rubbing her back. Acting as though he hadn't noticed them, Eric reached over, plucked a slice of orange off her plate and ate it.

"Hey!" She cried indignantly. "That was mine."

Eric laughed loudly in response, and after a moment Tris started to laugh as well, elbowing him in the ribs. When he chanced another look at the others, he noticed Peter's mouth hanging open and laughed again. Cheap entertainment.

"What did you come over here for again?" Christina reminded as she watched them.

"Oh yeah. Tris, I was wondering if you wanted to meet me in the training room sometime today. You're gonna be put up against one of the higher ranked initiates soon and right now your fighting still isn't up for it."

She sobered quickly, looking worried, and lowered her eyes to the table. "Yeah, sure. That'd probably be a good idea."

"Don't worry," he told her with a grin, "A few tips from me and you'll kick ass."

Tris giggled at him. "Someone's feeling cocky today."

"I'm always feeling cocky," he replied nonchalantly. "Anyway, I have to go." Eric leaned in and spoke quietly, so no one at the surrounding tables could hear, though he knew Christina would. "Don't get offended tomorrow. I can't show favoritism or I'll get in trouble. And enjoy your day off."

With that, Eric stood and walked away, leaving Tris confused behind him.

"Okay what does that mean?" She asked Christina.

"I think it means don't be offended when he's an asshole."

Comprehension dawned on Tris's face. "Oh, favoritism. Got it."

"So..." Christina lead on, grinning from ear to ear. "Care to tell me anything?"

Tris blushed. "Lets go somewhere else." Christina nodded, and together they wandered away, ending up at the Chasm, where the roaring water would drown out their conversation.

"How did it start? What happened?"

"Well I was back in that little alcove you mentioned, um... Trying, you know..." Tris blushed, and Christina gave her an impatient look. "Well nothing was really happening, and I had my eyes closed so I didn't see him walk up but suddenly I felt him touch me."

Christina covered her mouth and laughed. "Wait, he didn't even say anything first? Just came up and touched you?"

"Yeah pretty much. I wanted to die, but he told me to move my hand and he would show me."

"Did he know what he was doing?" Christina replied with a smirk.

"It certainly seemed like he did. He kissed me too. It was... wow."

"Is that all," Christina demanded. Tris only bit her lip for a second, but it was long enough.

"What else?"

Tris couldn't help the nervous giggle that escaped her. "Well, he could tell I still wasn't really... comfortable with it, I guess," she began. "I mean, it's an automatic reaction to be ashamed of anything self serving so..."

Christina winced. "Wow, that seriously sucks."

Tris had to agree. "Yeah it kinda does, but anyway. He asked me if it would help me if I knew definitively that other people, you know, do, and I told him yes."

Christina was bright enough to have an idea where Tris was going, and was grinning mischievously. "What did he do?"

"He... did it," Tris told her.

"He jacked off right in front of you?" Christina hissed in shock. Tris nodded, and she broke down in a fit of giggles.

"And he had me... touch him," Tris added after a moment. Christina's eyes grew round. She hadn't been expecting that.

"He what?"

Tris nodded, now outright laughing at the look on Christina's face.

"He told me to come by his apartment if I ever needed anything. But he never told me where his apartment actually is."

"Down on the south wing," Christina said immediately. "Leadership have their own section, Will told me. Their names are next to the doors in case someone needs to find them quickly." Christina grinned wickedly. "You should take him up on it."

"It's tempting," Tris admitted, sounding slightly ashamed.

Christina giggled. "I bet. He's an asshole but I still wouldn't mind getting a better look," she said with a wink.

"He likes to flirt," Tris observed.

"How so?"

"Well last night, before he..."

"Dude, just say it," Christina told her, rolling her eyes. "He jacked off, it's not a crime."

"Well yeah, anyway. I asked him why he... did whatever it was he did for me, because I know he's not that selfless and he said something about how he got plenty out of it too."

"I'll just bet he did," Christina smirked.

"Well I asked him what he meant and he, like, pressed it against my leg."

Christina laughed at Tris's blush, but otherwise said nothing. "And I could tell it was, well, big, and I made some comment about it not being able to fit and he said something about it would, and I would love it. Well I told him I didn't believe him and he asked if he needed to prove it."

"Damn, you go girl," Christina giggled with a wink. "You gonna take him up on it?"

"Maybe eventually," Tris said uncertainly, phrasing it like a question. "I mean, what he did last night felt amazing but the idea of having sex just for the sake of having sex is still sort of odd to me."

"Wait, seriously?"

"Yeah. In Abnegation you have sex to have kids, but that's it."

"That's really sad. Did they even tell you it felt good?"

"Yeah. They didn't go into any details, like, um, orgasms," the word came out of her mouth hesitantly, uncomfortably, "but that's why it wasn't something you did just because. It feels good, so that would make it self serving."

"What about oral?"

Tris gave her a blank look. "Oral?"

"Oral sex?" Christina said.

"What's that?"

Christina laughed. "You're kidding right?"

Tris shook her head. "Nope."

She shook her head a little in disbelief. "Wow. Okay, well it's pretty self explanatory. Basically it's just where you use your mouth on the other person."

"Wait, like, use your mouth down there?" Tris asked in a mildly scandalized tone.

"Yeah. It's supposed to be amazing."

"So what would a guy do to a girl? Put his tongue in her?"

"Some do, some don't," she said in an offhand tone. "When guys give girls oral they mainly focus on your clit."

"And when a girl does it to a guy..." Tris was curious despite herself, wondering in the back of her mind what it might be like to do something like that to Eric. Or at least wondering how he would react, which could be fun to see.

"She puts it in her mouth," Christina said evenly. "Also called sucking dick, a blowjob. It sounds pretty straight forward from what I've heard."

Tris shook her head in amusement. "Weird."

"Like I said, I've heard it's great." Christina gave her a sideways look and grinned. "You're thinking about doing it aren't you?"

Tris blushed and shrugged.

"You so are!" Christina giggled. "Tell me how that goes," she said with a wink.
