#41. Fever
"It's okay, I can do it." Tobias reaches out for the wet towel in Tris' hand.
She ignores him, folds the towel neatly and places it on his forehead. Then, she frowns.
"It's just a fever, Tris," he reassures.
"I know…"
His Abnegation self wants to tell her not to worry about him. He recognizes a selfless act when he sees one, and he's certain Tris is selfless. But her staying by his bedside also extends beyond being selfless—she stays because she cares.
And as much as Tobias hates to admit it, it's not so bad being cared for.
