Deleted scene... well, alternate scene..
Why not used: Are you kidding me? You all launched a bit of rage at what little bit got left in between these two... But more seriously, Tris wouldn't be emotionally or mentally ready for this at this point in the story.
Where this fits: In Chapter 26, during the game of dare instead of Tris doing the dare she did (no spoilers), Zeke would have gotten this dare...
No betas for omitted scenes, so sorry about the typos.
(Camping game, alcohol, dare)
"Zeke, Zeke, Zeke… Kiss Tris." He spat, arching a challenging eyebrow.
"The fuck?" Zeke responded.
"You scared?"
"No. She's with my best friend." Zeke laughed, "Be serious, pick something else."
"Four isn't here." He challenged
"Come on, it's just a kiss." Another guy jeered.
Then this chorus of "chicken" and "pansy" and a few thrown pebbles at Zeke's direction.
"It's okay." Tris was red and blushing, turning to him quietly. "It's just a kiss. Two seconds."
Zeke swallowed hard, contemplated the last fight he and Four had — over nothing — and the bruises that lasted weeks. But it was just a kiss, one kiss, a few seconds. Nothing. It meant nothing. Although a little ache passed through him as he lied to himself.
Tris stood across from him, sending chastising and reproachful glances at the obnoxious taunts. She put her hand hesitantly out onto his shoulder, he leaned in, covering her cheek and neck with his rough calloused fingers.
His hands were smaller, but not less powerful or strong. He wasn't as gentle or as careful with her, seemingly to giving her more credit. Even though neither of them felt right about it, the intensity tugged at the tension between them. Like diving into a cold pool, he pulled her to him and touched their lips letting his practiced hands meander down from her chin across her shoulders and, sending chills with each finger tip, down her spine. In the howl of the crowd, they had silence between them before he roughly pushed at her hips and split them apart.
