Hello!
I know the party has been done a million times and so has the game Candor or Dauntless, but i think its a great way to get to know the charecters a little better, and embarrass them ;)
I hope you like this chapter! The smut is coming very very soon... in the next chapter! And it will just get dirtier from there. Enjoy ;)
Chapter 3:
All the new members had spent the afternoons learning about their new jobs. It was dinner time now, Tobias and I were sitting at a table with Christina, Will, Zeke, Shauna, Uriah, Lynn and Marlene. These were our best friends, people Tobias and I had gone through initiation with.
"We should have a party." Uriah suggests. "In our new dorm. It's just us three." Uriah refers to him, Marlene and Lynn.
"I'm always up for a party, little bro'." Zeke agrees. Nudging him playfully with his elbow.
After dinner Tobias and I went back to our apartment - yes, our apartment – to get ready for Uriah's party. I was about to go to my bag with my clothes in it to find something to wear when there was a knock on the door. Tobias went to answer it.
"You know how I'm your best friend and all..." Christina's voice comes from the door, I turn around to see her with a wicked grin on her face, she's holding clothes. She really does love to dress me. I don't really see the point in objecting, she never makes me look bad, maybe just pushes my comfort zone sometimes, but isn't that what this is all about. I smile, roll my eyes and nod my head. She squeaks a little and comes over to me handing me the clothes. She turns to leave.
"See you in twenty." She calls as she exits the room and heads back for her room. Tobias look from be to her walking away then back to me with one eyebrow raised. He shrugs, closes the door and goes over to his clothes.
I go into the bathroom to change. Even though we're living together I am still far from comfortable enough to change in front of him. Ever since that mortifying experience with Peter, Molly and Drew I haven't been as uncomfortable changing in front of people, however, I don't like to if I can easily avoid it. Christina has given me these tight fitting thin pants; I believe she called them leggings once. They look like they're wet, a bit like leather. There's a blouse, also form fitting, stretchy and swoops with excess material at the front, showing off my ravens, There sleeves almost reach my elbows, they have cut outs all the way down and even shows off my tattoo's although my abnegation symbol is still covered by the bandage. The outfit is very Dauntless. I leave my hair out putting on some eyeliner, making my eyes pop, and some red lipstick. I defiantly look ready for a party. The shirt is somehow creating large my breasts I don't have.
I step out of the bathroom, Tobias turns to look at me; his eyebrows hit the roof as his jaw simultaneously hits the floor. He walks over to me slowly, he's changed into a tight black shirt and black jeans.
"You look..." He seems lost for words. "Beautiful." He presses his lips to mine, placing his hands on my hips. He pulls me into his body as he kisses me more passionately, my hands slide into his hair.
"We should probably go." I say reluctantly. I could kiss Tobias all day, I'd be quite content with that. Sometimes I'm as curious as I am terrified of what comes after kissing.
We head down to Uriah, Marlene and Lynn's room, someone has found a stereo and there is heavy music playing. I enjoy music, I like the vibrations it sends though my body when it's loud I like the way the lyrics fuse with the rhythm. Music and art are two things I appreciate that I was never able to enjoy in Abnegation.
Everyone is already here including a few more people I have never met. Christina spots us as we walk in, waving us over.
"You look even better in that than I thought you would." Christina says, pleased.
"Thank you." I reply simply. Uriah Comes up and hands Tobias and I a drink each.
"Tonight, Tris, you're getting drunk!" Uriah exclaims, emphasising 'drunk'. I'd gotten drunk last night, and the hangover hadn't worn off until after lunch. I really didn't want to put myself through that again.
Uriah introduces us to the people I can't put names too. There were three dauntless born initiates I didn't know; Kane, Bec and Wayde. Kane and Bec had been together since before initiation, they both seemed nice. Bec had long blond hair with a shaved section on the left side of her head, she had a large tattoo on her thigh shown off by the shorts she was wearing; she was very beautiful. Kane was obviously heavily intoxicated, his arms wrapped around Bec, she seemed to be the only thing holding him upright. He was the same height as Bec, but quite muscular. Wayde had chin length dark hair that covered half his face but spiked at the back, he had spiked lip piercings and his arms were completely covered in tattoo's down his knuckles. He didn't say a word when Uriah introduced us, just nodded in recognition. He didn't seem rude, just shy, he spent the rest of the night in the corner cuddling up to a curvy girl with dark hair with bright purple tips. She was just another person in the room I didn't know.
There were about twenty people hanging around the room; drinking, laughing, chatting. Everyone seemed to have formed groups, Tobias and I sat with Uriah, Marlene, Zeke, Shauna, Christina, Will, Lynn and her friend Ashley. I'd only met Ashley for the first time tonight, she had long black hair and several piercings and tattoo's, she's 17, an initiate last year. We were scattered on their bed's. The room was quite large it had four single beds - only three being used – though, you could easily fit another four beds comfortably.
"We should play a game." Uriah suggested.
"What did you have in mind?" Zeke asks. Uriah looks at out little congregation and thinks.
"Candor or Dauntless?" Uriah suggests. Christina had told me about this game, apparently it gets played all the time in dauntless.
"I was waiting for that." Shauna says, sitting up, she had been laying on Zeke's lap.
"We all know the rules?" Lynn asks, looking at us transfers.
"Yep." Christina responds.
"Havn't we played this game enough?" Tobias whines behind me. I'm sitting in front of him, by back to his chest, his arms wrapped around my waist.
"No. You can even go first, Four. Candor or Dauntless?" Zeke asks. Everyone's eyes turn to us, well Tobias.
"Dauntless." He responds. It seems like the obvious answer.
"A true dauntless..." Zeke ponders. I feel like this might end badly for me. "A true dauntless would make out with his new girlfriend." It seems like the most obvious thing to request. I'd kissed Tobias in public before, just a small peck, a spur of the moment burst... that's not really the definition of 'make out' though. A true dauntless would help her boyfriend with this dare. I shift and look up to Tobias. He's looking down at me with an awkward smile.
"You don't have t..." He begins, but I cut him off as my lips crush to his. I grip the back of his neck, my fingers tangling into his hair. A few hoots chime from our friends, there's even a small applause and some laughing. He grips my waist firmly, our tongues dance, I need oxygen. I bite his lip gently and break the kiss. He groans lowly, not heard by the others over the music. I chuckle at him, then just stare into his eyes as we smile at each other. Someone loudly clears their throat, Uriah.
"Uriah." Tobias says, looking away from me, my eyes follow his to wear he sits across from us. "Candor or Dauntless.".
"Dauntless." He responds without hesitation.
"A true dauntless would kiss the person he has feeling for." Tobias says with a knowing, mischievous grin. Did he know something I didn't? Uriah's eyes go wide before he glares at Tobias. He inhales, puffing his cheeks, then quickly exhaling. He turns to his right and presses his lips to Marlene's. Tobias definitely knew something I hadn't. Marlene's eyes seem to almost bulge from her face and she pulls away from Uriah, breaking the kiss. His eyes open to look at her, her face still plastered with shock. His face falls, "Sor..." He begins to apologise but Marlene has placed a hand on either side of his face and pressed her lips back to his. I smile. He wraps his arms around her, she shifts to straddling him.
"Way to go bro'!" Zeke praises, raising his hand to Uriah. Uriah without looking or breaking the kiss raises his hand to high-five Zeke, he then brings his hand back to Marlene's waist.
Soon after Marlene breaks the kiss, and they exchanged a short whispered conversation.
"How did you know?" I whisper to Tobias. He smiles down at me.
"I'm observant." He says, "And Lauren may have had her suspicions through initiation." He adds.
"Anyway!" Christina exclaims. "Back to the game." Bringing Uriah's attention back to the game.
"Zeke, Candor or Dauntless?" Uriah asks, not looking away from Marlene.
"Dauntless." Zeke answers.
"A true dauntless would..." Uriah starts. He finally looks away from Marlene to Zeke. "Skip around the room singing 'I'm a pansy cake' as loudly as he could." And he does. It's possibly one of the funniest things I've seen since getting here. After he sits back down next to Shauna he asks her 'Candor or Dauntless'. She is the first to reply with Candor.
"Who's the best sex you've ever had?" He asks her. She arches her eyebrow at him smiling.
"You." She replies. He places both hands behind his head, leaning back on the wall and hooks his ankles, grinning ear to ear then winks at her. She chuckles.
"Lynn, Candor or Dauntless." She asks her younger sister.
"Dauntless." Lynn answers.
"A true dauntless would kiss a boy." Shauna dares. Lynn glares at her and sighs. She then stands turning to everyone else in the room.
"I need a boy to kiss me." She announces. Everyone looks at her, someone staggers over, obviously drunk. Lynn's face scrunches in disappointment, the guy comes up and pecks her on the lips.
"Thanks." She says, spinning him around, patting his shoulder, pushing him back to his group.
"That was just cruel, Shauna." Lynn scolds. Shauna laughs quietly. "Tris, Candor or Dauntless." Lynn asks me. I've been dreading this.
"Dauntless." I respond shakily.
"A true dauntless would kiss Christina." Lynn grins mischievously. Kiss Christina? I've never kissed a girl before, I've never kissed anyone besides Tobias. I look to Tobias, he smiles raising his eyebrows. I don't know the reaction I was expecting from him, but it wasn't that. I look to Will next, I feeling I have to okay it with him before I even contemplate it. When my eyes meet his, he is already smiling, he slightly gestures his head towards Christina. I finally look at Christina, she looks back to me and shrugs. No one else seems to have a problem with it. Should I? She's my best friend, but it doesn't mean anything, it's just a dare. I am a true dauntless.
I lean over to Christina I place my hand to the side of her face and press my lips to hers. They are softer than Tobias' and a little sticky with Lip Gloss. They are plump and press back against my own. I break the kiss moments later and Christina laughs, I laugh with her. I didn't feel anything like I do when I kiss Tobias, but it's one more thing I can add to the daring things I have done.
I'm sitting back in Tobias' arms when I realise it's my turn to ask someone. I turn to Will.
"Will, Candor or Dauntless." I ask.
"Candor." He responds. I think; I'm not sure want I want to know about Will. Maybe I should just go with something fairly generic.
"What's the best thing that's happened to you since coming to Dauntless." I ask. I think it's a good question, I'd have to say Tobias, personally.
"Meeting Christina." He says, smiling down at her. "Oh! And losing my virginity." He winks at her than. She wacks her hand against his chest but she's smiling and everyone laughs. It's strange to think that they've had sex. Maybe it's not as big of a deal as I think it is and I'm just being too Abnegation. In Abnegation we are taught that you are only to have sexual intercourse to reproduce. I remind myself to ask Christina about that, I'm quite surprised she hasn't already told me all about it. I have questions; I can't ask Tobias, he's still a virgin like me. It would be nice to get her perspective.
A loud bang comes from behind us, and someone cries out in pain. I turn to look, in the same moment Tobias is moving me so he can get up and moves over - followed by Zeke - to where a fight has broken out between someone I don't know and the shy guy I remember as Wayde. He's standing over the other guy whose nose is now bleeding and sitting crooked. Tobias pulls Wayde away as he's about inflict another blow. He yells a treat at the guy he had obviously just punched as Tobias drags him out of the room. I see the curvy girl with purple tipped hair run after them, she's been crying.
Tobias and Zeke come back moments later. Returning to the previous spot, Zeke next to Shauna and Tobias behind me.
"What was all that about?" Will asks.
"Apparently Drake started going off at Wayde's girlfriend, so I guess he deserved it." Tobias answers.
"I think we should play a new game." Ashley suggests. This is the first thing I've heard her say since she introduced herself as Ashley.
"Why?" Lynn ask.
"Because no one's drunk yet." Ashley answers. "We should play a drinking game."
"I never!" Christina suggests.
"What's that?" Will asks.
"You say 'I never' and say something you've never done, and if someone has done that, they have to drink. It's very easy." Christina explains. "Everyone's drink full?" She adds.
A few reach into the cooler in to middle and grab new drinks. I had just finished my second and was grabbing my third, last night I had 4 in order to get me drunk. I didn't want a hangover, but there was something about being drunk that was desirable. The easy feeling that nothing really mattered, then positive euphoria it spread through you. I was only starting to remember that now as I was beginning to get 'tipsy' as Christina referred to it.
"Okay, you can start." Uriah suggests.
"I never broke a bone in my body." Christina states. Tobias, Zeke, Shauna, Uriah, Lynn and Ashley drink. "This way." Christina says, pointing towards will.
"I've never kissed a guy." Will states. All the girls drink, Lynn glaring at Shauna.
"I've never seen a girl naked." Tobias states. Most of the group looks at him a little strangely and everyone else drinks, including myself. All us girls shower together, that's where I've seen another girl naked. I follow Tobias' lead.
"I've never seen a boy naked." I state. No one seems surprised at that. Everyone drinks. I guess you could say Tobias and I did well if the outcome of this game is to get drunk.
"I've never been part of another faction." Uriah states. Tobias, Christina, Will, Ashley and myself drink. I didn't know Ashley was a transfer, I'm incredibly curious what faction she came from now.
"I've never been skinny dipping." Marlene says. Uriah, Zeke, Shauna, Christina, Lynn and Ashley drink.
"What's that?" I whisper to Tobias.
"Swimming naked." He answers. I've only ever been swimming a handful of times, when school did swimming lessons.
"I've never had sex with a guy." Lynn states. All the girls besides Ashley and myself drink.
"I've never been outside the fence." Ashley states, we all drink. I wonder sometimes what's outside the fence, there's so many possibilities.
"I've never been in love with a girl." All the boys, Lynn and Ashley drink. After every clue I've gotten tonight I have finally realised that Lynn and Ashley are attracted to girls. It also dawns on me, has Tobias ever been in love with a different girl? I sting with jealousy of a possibly non-existent hypothetical girl.
"I never turned down zip-lining." Zeke states. I'm proud to say I haven't. The one time I was asked, I went. Tobias, Ashley and Marlene drink.
"I think I might head off, I'm pretty tired and I have work in the morning." Ashley says as she gets up. "It was great to meet you guys and I'll see all of you sometime soon." Lynn walks her out.
"Maybe we'll get going too, because, well you know..." Zeke says with a wink. I think we all knew. Even me. I've been around my new friends to know that sex is pretty much always on their minds. There must a good reason for this, what is everybody's obsession with sex?
"I have to talk to Zeke for a second." Tobias says as he manoeuvres around me and follows Zeke out. I remember than that Christina can answer my questions. Just like I have Abnegation tendencies I have yet to be rid of, she is the same with her Candor qualities.
"Christina, can I talk to you for a second?" I ask. I realise then I have no idea what to say... What do I ask. Is it too personal to ask? I don't think anything is too personal for Christina. I don't want our friends to hear me asking about this. So, I lead her out of earshot.
"What's up?" She asks. I stare at my feet.
"Can you tell me about sex?" I ask. She looks at me a little shocked.
"Why?" She asks with a devilish grin.
"I'm curious." I state.
"Well, I could tell you about sex all day. What exactly do you want to know?" She asks.
"What was your first time like?" I asked.
"Quite possibly the best thing that has ever happen to me." She says, she seems to stare out into space most probably recalling the event. She looks back to me and I raise my eyebrows, that wasn't a very detailed answer.
"Well there was the foreplay, which is where you use your hands or mouth to get each other off..." She starts to elaborate.
"Get each other off?" I ask.
"Yeah, it's like... Wow, you really are clueless aren't you." She looks at me like a child. I glare at her. "Sorry. It's kind of hard to explain, it feels better than anything you've ever felt before I promise you that. Anyway, the foreplay was great. Then the actual sex was... well it actually kind of hurt at first, not much just a little pinch but it was so worth it I got off like 5 times, it was unbelievable." She's off in her own world again. She can't even keep focused. The way she talks about it makes me really want to face my fear. The alcohol could be playing a role in the too though.
"I think that you should just do it. Do it as soon as you can because once you do you won't be able to get enough." Christina guarantees. You can't help but be incredibly curious about the topic, it seems so important, so highly regarded. It's a bit like hamburgers... bare with me. When I first got here I had never had one before, it was new to me, but everyone loved them and couldn't believe I hadn't tried then. Much like sex, and I turned out loving hamburgers, they were absolutely delicious. Maybe I should actually listen to what everyone says. They haven't steered me wrong yet.
"I don't know if..." I start to say, but Christina cuts me off.
"Why do you doubt yourself so much. What is there to be afraid of?" She asks.
"What if he doesn't like my body or if it hurts me more than you or if I do something wrong or I'm bad at it? What if Tobias leave me because I'm not good enough?" I blurt out without thinking what I'm saying. Christina's eyes are wide trying to take in the flood of worries I just threw at her.
"You worry about the silliest things. I've seen you naked and trust me, you're fine. You use to be a little bony but you've filled out great. Even if it does hurt, as soon as he's out it will stop and trust me, with all the pain we went through with initiation, it's nothing. It's pretty hard to be 'bad' at sex, it'd pretty straight forward, just let him take the lead and you really can't mess anything up. Finally, I've seen the way he looks at you, how different he is around you. He loves you, he's told you he does, hasn't he... He wouldn't do something like that." I don't think I could have asked for a better friend than Christina, not only is she honest but she is so reassuring. She makes my fear subside, not disappear, just ease a little.
Tobias comes back into the room.
"Drink a bit more, I think being a little drunk will help." Christina advises and I down the rest of my drink, heading back over to the remaining group and getting another. Tobias joins us now, he gives me a quick kiss before sitting down and scooting back so I can fit in front of him.
"So, one more game before you guys leave?" Uriah asks.
"Sure. What would you like to play?" Christina responds.
"Another drinking game." I suggest.
"What about would you rather?" Lynn suggests.
"How is that a drinking game?" Uriah asks.
"You get two options one is to drink and one is a small dare directed at everyone. Say if I started and I said would you rather drink or scream the word 'sex'. You pick one, everyone picks one." Everyone else yells sex and I take a drink. I probably would have yelled sex, it's really a task, I think I just want an excuse to drink. Does this mean that I've decided to face my fear tonight?
"Would you rather drink or take off your shirt?" Uriah asks. All the girls take a drink but the bays start getting naked.
"Would you rather drink or sing a lullaby?" Marlene asks, everyone drinks. This game is doing quite well for my 'get drunk' mission.
"Would you rather drink or quack like a duck?" Will asks. Everyone quacks, even me. We all laugh.
"Would you rather drink or cry out in pain for no good reason." Christina asks. We all drink.
"Damn, I was hoping one of you would do it." She says. Laughing.
"Would you rather drink or do ten push ups?" Tobias asks. Again, we all drink.
"Would you rather drink or attempt to fight Four?" I ask. Everyone very quickly raises their drinks to their mouths. I laugh, as does Tobias.
"That was a nice quick game to end on." Christina says as she gets up.
"Thank you guys for inviting us." Will says, grabbing Christina's hand as they begin to leave.
"Thank you." I say simply with a smile as I get up, Tobias following behind me.
"Alright, everybody out!" Uriah yells over the music just as we're walking out the door.
We walk up to our rooms together, because their very close. When we get to Christina and Will's apartment Christina pulls me into a hug.
"Go for it. You won't regret it." She whispers into my ear. I wonder if she can really guarantee that.
You all know whats coming, and i think my take is a little more unique, maybe a little awkward but i hope you'll enjoy it. All waiting for you in the next chapter, coming soon ;)
I love your reviews, favorites and follows! They are inspiring and encouraging!
