AN: Hey guys, so I decided to combine two chapters together to make one really long chapter because I'm not sure when I will be able to update next because I am working all of this weekend and have a pretty busy week next week. So the next update might not be until next weekend but I will hopefully try to squeeze one in at some point in the week because it's written in my notebook, just needs typing up!

This one's a fluffy one, enjoy!

Chapter 3 – CHOICES AND CONFESSIONS

TRIS P.O.V

I wake up to Tobias running his fingers through my hair. My head is on his chest and I can hear his heartbeat drumming through his shirt. I sigh, content, and look up at him.

"Good morning" he says as I trace his face with my fingers.

"Yeah", I say, "It is"

Today is the day when I will choose my job and move into my own apartment although I've been hoping Tobias might ask me to move in with him. For the past two weeks I've hardly slept in the initiate's dormitory, preferring to fall asleep in Tobias' strong embrace.

I clamber out of bed, shower and dress while Tobias goes to grab muffins and coffee from the cafeteria. We eat in a comfortable silence until it's time for me, and the other new members, to choose their job.

The list of jobs is displayed in the pit and as I was ranked first, I will choose first.

"Stiff", Eric says, "What do you choose?"

"I choose to be a Dauntless Ambassador", I state confidently, "I also want to train initiates with Four."

Out of the corner of my eye I see Tobias' mouth twitch up into a lopsided grin as I get an appreciative cheer from the crowd.

A few minutes later everyone has chosen their job: Uriah chose to be a Dauntless Leader; I'm glad, I know he'll be able to restore a more just way of living in Dauntless. Marlene chose to be a nurse, Will in the control room with Tobias and Christina in the tattoo parlour with Tori.

Eric prepares to give us our apartment numbers and keys. As I ranked first I will be on the same floor as Tobias.

"Tris, your apartment number is 4610."

4610? But that's Tobias' apartment.

TOBIAS P.O.V

"Tris", she turns to me with a surprised look on her face, "I know it's not the most romantic way to ask you but I couldn't think of anything else", I confess, "Will you move in with me?"

She nods frantically and I hand her a silver key with'6' engraved on it.

TRIS P.O.V

After I drop the last of my stuff onto the floor in Tobias' – I mean our – apartment, I look around smiling. This is where my life in Dauntless truly begins, with the man I love. I am pulled from my thoughts when I feel a pair of strong arms wrap around my waist from behind and lift me off the ground. I squeal and feel Tobias' lips press to my neck. He puts me down and turns me around; I wrap my arms around his neck.

"Hey roomy" he whispers with a boyish smirk on his face.

"Hey"

Later that evening I am lying on the sofa with my head on Tobias' lap. He is stroking small circles onto the small, expose piece of skin on my waist where my shirt has ridden up. I drift off slowly but not before I hear him say "I love you Tris"

I would reply, but I'm too far gone.

. . . . . . . . . .

TOBIAS P.O.V

I pace nervously around the apartment as I wait for Tris to come home from work, she should be back any minute now.

Tonight I'm going to tell her I love her. I want to make it special because ei feel like I didn't do so well with the moving in thing. I tried to tell her a few nights ago, it just felt right as she was falling asleep on my knee but she must've already fallen asleep because she didn't say anything back. I hope to God she didn't ignore me on purpose.

The sound of a key in the lock breaks my train of thought. Tris steps through the door and gives me a chaste kiss on the lips after greeting me.

"Tris let's go somewhere."

"Okay, where?"

"Let's go to our spot."

TRIS P.O.V

Tobias and I walk hand in hand to the chasm. For some reason he seems on edge; his palms are clammy and he keeps on stealing nervous glances at me.

When we get to the place where we had our first kiss he sits and pulls me down next to him. He holds my hand and plays with my fingers as he speaks.

"Tris, I need to talk to you", he starts. All I can think is "please don't break up with me, please"

"I'm in love with you", he says, smiling slightly, "It scares me to death, but I am."

TOBIAS P.O.V

When I'm done speaking Tris is silent.

I start panicking, thinking I've said something wrong or scared her off. Sometimes I forget how young she is, she's so much older than her years.

Right when I think I've really screwed up she speaks.

"I love you too." She whispers. I feel like my whole being has just lit up.

I can't keep the smile off my face as I say "Say it again."

"Tobias Eaton", she says, her hand cradling my cheek, "I am in love with you"

And that's when I kiss her. I engulf her in my arms and kiss her with everything I am feeling: passion, love and security. Her fingers tangle in my hair and I hug her tightly against me, fitting my face into the crook of her neck.

She loves me back.

AN: Hope you enjoyed that chapter, it was my favourite one to write so far :)

I am one of those people that believes in good and bad luck omens, so I was hoping you could all keep your fingers crossed for me? Next Thursday I will be receiving my GCSE results (GCSE's are basically SUPER important exams us Brits take at the end of high school) and I'm really nervous for it because I really want to get the grades I need to do the subjects I want to do in college! So maybe we could all spread a lil' love and luck and keep our fingers crossed for me and every other 16 year old in England? ;) Love y'all!
