When Eric comes back, Siam is sitting on the couch with Ruby in her arms. She's not really looking at anything, just staring at the wall. "Hey, babe. Are you alright?" He asks.

She looks up at him and he's surprised by how vulnerable she looks. "What? Yeah, I'm fine," She says unconvincingly.

"Are you sure?" He questions.

She sighs and Eric takes a seat next to her. "I just- I don't really want to talk about it."

"Alright."

He shifts her a little, moving her onto his lap. She let's him shuffle her quietly and that worries Eric a little bit. Instead of saying anything, he wraps his arms around her and Ruby shifts her body to lie on top of him a little. She leans her head onto his chest and places her hand on top of his. "They hurt you?" He asks quietly, already thinking of a way to make them pay.

Lucky for them, Siam shakes her head silently and Eric wonders what exactly happened. "It's just a little weird, seeing them after so long," She admits.

Eric nods and she lets out a small sigh. He closes his eyes and just listens to her breathing.

When the fear simulations start, Siam makes a mental note to speak to Tris and warn her not to do too well during the stage. However, she's been waiting for the message from her family and she basically forgets. Then Tori tells her that she's already spoken to Tris and that Four was handling her footage from the simulation. Siam hadn't really took notice of Four, especially since Amar did that for her. When he died, she watched over him for a few weeks but besides being quieter, there were no noticeable changes. She mostly ignored him and the dumb pissing contest he had with Eric because they didn't really run in the same circles. When Tris tells her that Four let her see his fear landscape, it's obvious they're closer than she thought.

Eric already wonders why she speaks to Tris in the first place and he most definitely didn't buy that crappy excuse about wanting to watch over her because of their factions. She doesn't really want Four to get involved with them as well. She didn't realize that she'd been so worried about the message from her family that even Eric starts to notice. She tells him that she doesn't want to talk about it and even though he looks frustrated, he doesn't push. Instead, he tries to take her mind off of whatever is bothering her. "Babe, let's go to this party in the pit," He offers as soon as he walks into her apartment.

Siam looks up as Ruby bounds toward Eric. "Uh, why?" She asks.

"Because I want to go out with you," He responds, raising an eyebrow.

"Mhmm, now give me the actual reason," She orders, getting up from the couch and walking towards Eric.

"Well, you've been slinking around this compound like the world is about to end, so I thought it'd be a good idea to get you out," He responds. "Also, I'm hoping you put on a really tight outfit and we could make out somewhere after."

Siam laughs and gives him a small kiss on the lips. He moves forward and stops her from retreating, deepening the kiss. His lips glide over her's easily, as if they belong there and nowhere else and she sighs happily. Siam tips her head back and opens her mouth slightly, slipping her tongue into his mouth. Eric pulls her closer and she wraps her arms around his neck. His hands move down from her hips to the curve of her ass and she moans as he gives it a rough grab. Siam let's her tongue glide along Eric's teeth as she pulls away, taking a small breath. "I still want to see you in a tight outfit," He whispers hoarsely.

"What if I want to see you naked? Skip the whole party all together?" She offers, moving her arms and placing them on his hips.

"Well you'll just have to wait, because we're going out," he tells her.

Siam crosses her arms and narrows her eyes. Eric gives her a pleading look and says quietly, "I'm worried about you."

"Ugh," She groans. "I'm gonna get dressed."

Eric grins at her and she rolls her eyes. "You can't come in while I'm getting dressed," She orders, smiling when his face falls.

"What? Why not?"

"Because that would ruin the surprise, duh."

"Fine."

Siam walks into the bedroom and opens the closet door, looking at her clothing contemplatively. If Eric wants to see her in a tight outfit then she's going to show him one. She pulls out a black long sleeved crop top and black, above ankle pencil skirt with rhinestones at the bottom. She bends down and grabs a pair of boots and pairs it with the outfit. She nods in satisfaction and puts the clothing on, moving on to jewelry.

When she walks back out, Eric snaps, "Finally, you were taking forever."

"Whatever, tell me what you think," she orders.

Eric looks up from his phone and loses the annoyed look on his face. "Tight enough for you?" She wonders, turning around.

His eyes narrow and she smiles. "A little too tight if you ask me," He points out.

"Well, of course. How else would I get all the boys attention?" She asks, producing a falsetto sound.

Eric glares at her and hisses, "I'll shoot any boy dumb enough to approach you."

"Well if I don't scare them off, then you surely will," She teases.

Eric rolls his eyes and gets up, heading into the bedroom to get dressed. He comes out ten or so minutes later wearing a tight black T-shirt, acid washed jeans navy blue jeans and black combat boots along with a gold chain around his neck that shines brightly when the light hits it. Siam gives Ruby a farewell pat and they both walk towards the pit. Tori's there when they arrive so it's not completely terrible. When she spots them she groans playfully. "Go away!" She orders, handing Siam a drink. "Whenever you two come to a party, you end up grinding in the middle pit and making everyone uncomfortable."

"Don't complain, you know you love it," Siam responds, bumping her shoulder.

Tori scoffs and Siam laughs. She hasn't told Tori about the message that's supposed to come from her parents, because she didn't want to worry her over nothing. When the message arrives, she plans on telling her immediately.

It's halfway through the party and Eric and Siam are in the corner, Siam resting peacefully on his lap when Eric finally asks, "You know why Four over there keeps looking at you?"

The tone of his voice is annoyed and she raises an eyebrow before looking over at Four, who was currently eyeing her. "I heard he and the Abnegation transfer have something going on. He's probably trying to make sure I don't feed her to Ruby or something," She explains.

"That's not allowed," He points out.

"You're just going to have to make sure you don't tell anyone, aren't you?"

"And why would I do that?"

Siam pouts and looks at him with wide eyes. "Because I asked you to?"

Eric stares at her for a few moments before sighing. She grins and gives him a small peck on the cheek. "Thanks, babe."

"Yeah, whatever. I will shoot him if he comes over here,"

Eric narrows his eyes and turns to Four, full on glaring. Four raises an eyebrow and the unbothered look on his face makes Siam laugh. Eric looks back to her and she covers her mouth. Tori walks over, looking more than annoyed. "Four wants to talk to you," She tells her.

Eric tenses and Siam groans for a full ten seconds. "Can't he talk to you?" She questions.

"I already tried. He said he wanted to talk to you. Like an overprotective father or something," She sighs.

"He's not man enough to come over himself?" Eric wonders, voice full of venom.

"He said that he wanted to talk to Siam, not fight with you. Which is what would have happened if he came over here himself," Tori explains.

"It wouldn't have been a fight. I woulda shot him," Eric grumbles.

Tori rolls her eyes and looks at Siam. "You going?"

Siam sighs and reluctantly sits up from Eric's lap. Eric looks petulant, but he doesn't try and stop her, knowing it would be futile. She follows Tori who leads her away from the pit and towards one of the tunnels. "So what'd he ask and what'd you say?"

Tori sighs. "He asked what you would be doing helping Tris and I told him that you were doing what Amar did for him. Just less involved. Then he pointed out that you're with Eric and that he wants you to tell him yourself."

"Wow, that's really fucking annoying."

Tori laughs and Siam smirks at her. When they spot Four, Siam's face goes expressionless and she crosses her arms. "I'll leave you two alone," Tori suggests, already jogging away.

"Tori, you fucking bitch!" Siam shouts after.

Tori laughs and Siam stomps childishly. She should've known she would do that. She turns to Four and crosses her arms. "What do you want?" She questions.

"Tori said that you're helping Tris the same way Amar helped me," He points out.

"And?' She asks.

"And you're like Amar?" He wonders.

Siam knows what he's asking and she sighs. "Yes. Is that all?"

"Amar was killed by Erudite and you're living with Eric? He's obviously working with Max and Jeanine."

Siam's eyes narrow and she lets out an annoyed breath. "Is that why you called me? To lecture me about my romantic choices? Training initiates must have messed up your memory. How old do you think you are, kid?" She hisses.

Four opens his mouth and she raises her hand, silencing him. "You're naive, Four. Do you think Max suspects me? Do you think Eric does?"

"Well, I-"

"They don't. You, on the other hand. Eric hates you. He'll always be looking for an excuse to put you down. I suggest you stop seeing the world in black and white and add a few grey areas. There's no good and evil here, only those who survive and those who are dumb enough to die for some stupid sense of justice. You want to watch over Tris because you've got a crush on her? Go ahead, because she has the same Abnegation morals you do and it's really tiring to deal with that."

Siam walks away from him, not bothering to hear what he has to say. When Eric sees her he stands up quickly and walks towards her. "What'd he want?" He wonders.

"Like I said, he wanted to make sure I didn't bully his little girlfriend," She lies smoothly.

Eric scoffs and rolls his eyes."Let's go back to the room now," She suggests, taking his bigger hands into her's.

"Alright," He agrees, smirking.
