(third person)


Tris woke up the next morning with Tobias by her side in the small hospital bed. He had been up for hours just watching her sleep. "Morning," Tris said with a light smile on her face. Tobias grinned, "morning beautiful, did you sleep okay?" "Actually yes I did for once," Tris said with a little blush on her cheeks. This made Tobias laugh and he kissed her forehead.

"Today's the big day of paperwork and other BS," Tobias complained as he stood up. Tris stayed in bed, but sat up just a little bit. "Tell me about it," she said, "do you know what kind of paperwork we have to go through?" Tobias shrugged, "no all I know is that you have to sign some things, Caleb has to fill some papers out saying he was or is your gaurdian, then I'm just here to help." Tris gave him a confused look, "wait I need guardian?"

"Yes and no around here you become an adult at age 20, the government was talking about lowering the age to 18, but most officials don't want them to because they are still teenagers," Tobias exclaimed and Tris was mad. "Well I'm 19 so what does that mean for me," Tris asked starting to get angry. Tobias ran his fingers through his hair, "you don't have to live with the guardian, you just need someone to look after you every now and again." "What about you," Tris suggested and Tobias smiled. "I would live to, but there is a law stating if I was your guardian than we could not be together," Tris nodded she thought that was reasonable.

"Well at least that makes sense more than anything else," Tris said exhausted and Tobias nodded. "Well the doctors said you can leave today if your well enough," "I am," Tris said quickly and Tobias gave her a sideways grin. "Great then I can give you Christina's present," Tobias said and Tris groaned, "no no presents." "Would you rather be stuck in that hospital gown," Tobias asked and Tris pouted, "what did she get?"

This made Tobias laugh then he said, "well since there aren't factions anymore people wear what they want, Christina said you should take baby steps I have no idea why since you can handle it, but you know Christina," Tris nodded as he went on. "Anyway she got you blue jeans, a grey shirt and black jacket," "my old factions," Tris asked and he nodded.

"Yep my abnegation born, dauntless transfer and erudite mind." Tobias helped Tris out of bed and over to the restroom so she could change. "Wait Four," Tris said and he replied, "yes six?" Tris laughed then said with bright blush on her cheeks, "I need help." Tobias nodded, "oh okay...I got you." Blush still on Tris' face she raised her arms and Tobias lifted the gown over her head and laid it on the floor. Tris shivered at the cold air, but tried to focus on that instead of her been half naked in front of a guy.

Tobias rolled the grey shirt and put it over her head while she slipped her arms through the sleeves. "I feel like a child," Tris muttered and Tobias whsipered, "but a cute one." "Shut up and pass me the jeans," Tris teased with a playful grin. Tobias handed her the jeans and keeped her steady while she slipped them on. To her surprise the clothes fit her perfectly. "How did Christina know my size," Tris asked and Tobias shrugged, "I honestly have no idea my guess is from the doctors measurements."

Tris thought that made sense then asked, "do they just give out information?" "No not really depends on who's asking," Tobias said simply and Tris nodded as she put the jacket on slowly. Tris took a few steps trying to find the most comfortable way to walk. After a minute taking small steps seemed to be the least painful. "Are you ready," Tobias asked one hand on Tris's elbow keeping her steady. "Yeah let's go," Tris replied looking up at Tobias just staring at him. Without any hesitation they both leaned into each other until their lips intertwined. Tobias and Tris felt the same way after all these years. They always knew before that each contact with each other was special. However now one touch was just as great as one of their old kisses.

When they split the doctors came in to give Tris the medicine she would need. Painkillers for her side and leg. She also had blue pills in case she had an anxiety attack. Tobias put them in Tris's pocket and they headed to the elevator. Once they made it to the first floor Tris felt as though the weight of the world and past events didn't matter anymore. She had the future ahead of her and that's all she could ask for. A bright future. A future worth living.

Tobias still had one hand on her elbow and the other around her waist to steady her. As they walked down the never ending hallways Tris asked, "Tobias where are we, we aren't Chicago right?" "No we are near the Bureau, it's a long story I'll tell you about at dinner tonight," Tobias said and Tris smiled. "Did you Tobias Four Eaton ask me to dinner," Tris teased and he laughed, "I believe I asked Beatrice Six Prior out on a date." Tris leaned up and gave him a quick kiss before saying, "I'm glad to know our love never died." "Me too Tris," Tobias replied as he kissed her forehead. Together they walked out the hospital arms around each other. The way they wanted to keep it.

Tobias lead her to where Caleb stood by a Chevy truck. Caleb waved and Tris smiled while Tobias glared. Tris noticed and elbowed him lightly, "be a little nice all of you have hard." "Alright for you," Tobias whispered in her ear as they made to his truck. "You two ready," Caleb asked and Tris nodded. Again Tobias glared, but Caleb ignored it. Tobias let Caleb help Tris into the truck since Tobias agreed to be nicer with Caleb. Tris sat in the middle with Caleb in the drivers seat and Tobias next to Tris on her right side.

The drive wasn't long and it was completely silent except for the hum of the engine. Tris didn't notice thought she was preoccupied with the passing buildings. She watched the buildings go by in a blur and staring up at the ones that touched the sky. Tobias enjoyed the view of seeing Tris in awe. The whole ride he watched her, and she watched the sky. Tobias slipped his hand onto Tris lap where her hand lay. His fingers intertwined with hers like puzzle pieces that had been a part for far to long
