"My love" a deep, gruff voice echoed from the darkness. "I've missed you."

"And I've missed you too Eric." Her voice fluttered through the night air, "That doesn't mean you don't piss me off."

Eric sighed as he walked forward and wrapped his muscled arms around Avalon, "You know I had to give those kids the pill, the girl just didn't react very well with it."

"She's divergent, of course she didn't. But with the tech they're using to make those even divergents are affected, it amplifies anger. And because of that a kid was almost killed. You are so lucky I was able to make something to detox that poor child's body."

"I knew all along you could, that's why I did what I did. I had no other choice Ava."

"Eric, you know I don't accept excuses." She huffed, her sea green eyes staring into the dark pits of her fiancées. Only when he was with her did they fill with life and love, he had spent so long hiding away all of his emotions that it had taken Avalon their whole friendship to gain his trust.

"I know that very well."

"Then stop" she said simply, her voice even and her eyes never breaking away from his.

"I can't, it'll end in death. Just continue making the detox serum, otherwise this kid won't make it."

"Eric, when this is over I'm going to kick your ass. But right now we both need our energy for the task at hand." Ava moved from Eric's arms, pinching he bridge of her nose. "Your mother is insane. How did you ever handle her growing up?"

A chuckle escaped his pierced lips, his arms pulling Ava close once again. "It was the hardest thing I ever dealt with, much harder than Dauntless initiation." She couldn't help but laugh, she was a dauntless born and had seen so many friends go through that hell.

Both of Ava's parents were divergents, not to the extent she was though. They had taught her how to pass through initiation for both dauntless and erudite without being detected. It started when she was young, giving her enough time to get it all down perfectly. Part of her was beginning to regret her choice simply because of two very special divergents who had made the mistake to choose dauntless. They didn't know what they had gotten themselves into.

"My princess, you know you don't look that bad in Erudite blue." Eric taunted her, earning an elbow to the gut.

"I can't wait to be back in black, and also out of these fake glasses and heels. Feels like my ankles are going to snap."

"I'll just carry you then" he swept her up and planted a kiss to her forehead, "You're making it very hard for me in dauntless. Having to clean up all of these messes. I have to put up a front but I have to help these kids."

"You make life hard." She mumbled, "Stop whining, you know how necessary all of this is. Eventually you can go back to just being the big scary bad guy, okay?"

"Only if you promise me you're coming back too dauntless when this shit is over." All signs of playfulness were gone, Ava sighed in response.

"I'll try my hardest but…"

"Avalon, there are no buts in this conversation. You are coming back home; you have no choice anymore. Cara can take care of Erudite and you can work from home. With me."

"I love you Eric."

"And I love you, my angel."

-Alessa p.o.v

"Lynn!" I run up behind her but she acts like I never called for her. "Would you fucking stop!" I scowled, she stopped abruptly and turned to face me.

"What do you want?" she snaps.

"Oh cut the crap, Lynn. You've been ignoring me, acting like I don't exist, since we've gotten back! What is going on?" I huffed, before she could answer I rambled on, "I mean, at first I was just going to deal with you keeping private things to yourself but fuck that. You have no choice; I will never let this subject drop. Not until you tell me what is going on."

"Why does it matter?" she leaned against the wall, although her tone was calm her body was tense.

"Because it's bothering you and driving a wedge between us!"

"That just means you have more time with the Stiff."

"Lynn, what is your problem with her?"

"She's breaking your heart, that's reason enough for me to hate her."

With a sigh I stood in front of her, "I'll get over it, she's all for Four."

"Who hasn't even been treating her right! The few times I've heard them talk he's cold to her! And yet she's fawning after him while you're here ready to practically worship her! She wouldn't even give you a chance!"

"Someone has done the same to you, that's why you're so angry…" tears welled in her eyes.

"Twice now…" she cleared her throat, "I could be so good to you…" I just barely heard her words, my heart nearly stopped.

"Wait, wait what?" I was bewildered, I had never thought she of all people would have any sort of feelings about me. Lynn was on another level, in between celestial and unreachable. Did I like her? On some unknown level, yes. I was more comfortable with her than I was with anyone, other than Peter. I didn't fear her judgement, I didn't feel the need to look perfect around her, I didn't worry as much as when I was around other people. God, why are feelings so hard to understand…

"I've got a shit ton of feelings for you, Alessa. I see you and I'm happy, I see you smiling and my heart is going to explode with all of these feelings and my brain feels like it's just going to shut down. It feels so right to be around you, everything just falls into place and no one else matters. And whenever something makes you upset I want…I want to just rip it apart!"

"Fuck, that makes my heart feel weird." Was all I could get out of my mouth.
