A/N Hey everybody! So I actually have another chapter almost ready to be uploaded but for some reason I don't like it but I don't want to delete it, so yeah.

Anyway, sometime within the next couple of weeks I'm going to be driving up to see the new house that my family's going to be moving into and I'm so freaking excited. Plus I went to Seaworld with Abnegation Ravenclaw and it was so fun and I want to go on the rollercoasters again.

Now about the actual story. This chapter is going to be a collection of THREE different prompts, adding up to a kinda dark chapter. It's even going to be going into Tobias POV a little so that's new. And finally, some people are probably going to think that this should be focused around Tobias but I'm gonna change it up a bit :-P

Enjoy!


*Person B is awfully annoyed by their roommate, Person A, who is constantly happy/chirpy all the time.
After months of wanting to strangle Person A for being so cheery every day,
Person B becomes deeply shaken one night when Person A wakes up hysterically screaming and crying from a vivid nightmare,
wanting nothing more but to see their smile again.*

And

*Person A and B share an apartment, but have separate rooms.
Person A has a nightmare one night and is really rattled by it.
They get out of bed and walk down the hallway to knock on Person B's door.
The door is already oped and A walks into the room silently.
Person A tells B about the nightmare and B let's them stay in the room for the night.*

(I'm gonna change that one up a little ^)

And finally,

*Imagine person A of your OTP had an abusive childhood/past and flinches constantly.
And when Person A met B, B would always ask before grabbing their hand or touching them in any way.
Gradually A reduces their flinching.
It's not completely gone, but it happens far less than usual.*

*Tris POV*


"I'm home!" I sing, opening the door to the apartment I share with my roommate Tobias. Contrary to popular belief, Tobias and I have nothing romantic or sexual going on. We just both needed an apartment and decided that sharing would be a great option.

"You just got home from work." Tobias deadpans, standing up from the couch and shutting off the television. "How the hell are you still smiling?"

"Because I bought ice cream." I hold up the Walmart bag containing two gallons of Bluebell Krazy Kookie Dough ice cream."

"But you're lactose intolerant." Tobias says, sitting on the barstool.

"So? I want ice cream. (Abnegation Ravenclaw: Lol I'm pretty sure I've actually said that before XD)" I open the lid to one of the jars and take out a scoop and bowl. "Want some?"

"You're going to get sick." he warns. "You always do." he grabs another bowl from the cabinet and takes the scoop once I'm done.

"If I get sick, then so be it." I declare. "Ice cream is literally the best thing in the world and it's stupid that they think I'm not gonna have it because of my 'lactose intolerance'."

"Who's they?" Tobias asks.

"I don't know." I shrug. "Whoever made me lactose intolerant, I guess."

"So...your parents?" he smiles.

"Yep." I return with a grin. Once I finish my desert, I do a quick clean up of the kitchen and change into pajamas. As part of our nightly routine, Tobias and I will always meet in our small living room and watch episodes from the original Doctor Who, in hopes of finishing before summer. Most of the time though, we're making fun of the poor CGI effects and ridiculous villains costumes but in an odd way it's almost vital that we do it every single night. He's always careful in not sitting too close to me on the sofa because he knows just how I feel about being touched thanks to my now ex-boyfriend, Gabe. I've told him and nearly all of my friends it's just a germaphobe thing but I think only him doesn't believe it.

Halfway into the fourth episode of the night I begin to grow tired. Once the episodes' over I tell him I'm going to head off to bed. He casts me a rare smile and bids me goodnight.


I shoot up in bed a small gasp huffing from my chest. I press a hand on top of wildly beating heart trying to force it to slow down. Over the past year or two of sharing close quarters with someone, I've somehow learned to wake up quietly from a nightmare. There's been a couple close calls before but recently I've been just fine. With the image of Gabe pinning me to the wall finally leaving my mind I leave my bedroom to get some breakfast. I stand in the kitchen for a moment thinking of something to eat, the decide that pancakes sound amazing.

While I make myself breakfast, I listen to one of the playlists on my phone entitled 'Morning' that only has faster more upbeat songs to wake myself up. Tobias always complains about this playlist purely because he says that the music is 'To fucking cheery for this ungodly hour'. On weekends he's waking up at noon so I don't see the reason of his complaints.

"Oh God, it's this music again." Tobias groans dropping into one of the kitchen chairs. "Why are you up this early anyway?"

"It's eight in the morning, Grumpy." I chuckle, giving him two pancakes on a plate.

"That's way to early for a Saturday." he says through bites.

"You didn't have to come out of your man-cave." I turn off the burner and join him at the table with my own plate.

"I was coming out to turn off you...wait who was singing when I came out?"

"Kelsi Luck," I tell him.

"Okay. I was coming out to tell you to turn off Kelsi Luck because she was making my eardrums bleed." he exaggerates.

"You seem fine to me." I smirk. He frowns and throws a crumpled up napkin at me. "Whatever." he grumbles. "I'm going to go back to bed now if you don't mind."

"Actually I do mind. I mind very much." I state taking his and my plate to the sink. "I cooked, so you can help clean." he rolls his eyes dramatically.

"Ugh if I had known that you were gonna be such a clean freak I wouldn't have shared with you."

"No matter who shared with, you would've had to clean eventually." I point out. He shoves my shoulder lightly, meaning for it to be platonic but I involuntarily flinch and shrink away. I straighten up almost immediately hoping it's gone unnoticed. Tobias looks at me quizzically.

"Are you okay?" he asks with genuine concern.

"What? Oh yeah, I'm fine." I express. "It's just the whole. . . you know. Germ thing." he doesn't look satisfied but lets it go for now.


*Tobias POV*


Every week since then is always the same. Waking up every couple days to some aggravating music and her equally aggravating peppiness in the morning. I don't personally think it's humanly possible to be so happy 24/7. Our friends are always joking around how we are the most opposite a pair could get. What with her general positive outlook on life and my omnipresent negativity. Plus, even when she's wearing high heels she only makes it to my chin. I think it's kind of cute but I don't think I'd ever tell her.

Right now though, I sit up in my bed with my opened textbooks in front of me. Finals are coming up soon, so I'm trying to get in as much studying as possible. I glance over to the clock on my nightstand that reads '3:47' in bright red letters. With a sigh, I push the books off of the bed and onto the ground and shut off the lamp. Sleep doesn't seem to come to easily though. I'm tossing and turning for nearly half an hour before I give up.

I'm about to pick up one of my books off the floor, when a sharp scream pierces through the air. The book slips from my hand in shock. I have a mental battle with myself debating if I should go see her or not. I make my way up from my bed and walk to my door to open it. Just when I'm going to walk into her room, her door swings open and not a second later she's run into my arms. I stumble backwards a little but quickly regain my balance.

I can feel Tris' hands shaking furiously as they grip the thin shirt I'm wearing. In the rather short time I've known her, I've only seen her cry a handful of times. But even then it was just a few tears coming from her gray eyes, not this sobbing she's doing now. I think I can feel her legs shake a little so I carefully pick her up and take her to my bed. She stays pressed up against me for so long that I think she's already fallen asleep but I'm proven wrong when she shifts a little bit revealing her face.

"I'm sorry," she whispers. "I didn't mean to wake you up." I shake my head and rub my hand up and down her arm.

"It's fine. I was already awake." I say honestly. "And why the hell are you apologizing, Tris?"

"I just seem to keep bothering people." she mumbles fidgeting with a loose thread on my shirt.

"You're not bothering me." I state. She looks up at me, her eyes still red.

"Really?" she questions.

"Really." I answer. "You know me. If you were being annoying I would've told you already."

"You say I'm annoying in the morning." she points out with a slight grin.

"Well yeah because it shouldn't be legal to be so Goddamn cheery at six in the morning." I disclose. "But at the same time it's quite endearing."

"Endearing?" she repeats.

"Yeah," I shrug shyly. "It helps knowing that there is some good left in the world."

"Trust me when I say that it took my a long time to learn that." she closes her eyes after that, falling asleep soon later.

A/N I considered continuing it buuuut I don't feel like it anymore.

Anyway PLEEEEAAASE tell me any ideas you have because I'm not finding a whole ton that I like or that I can write so don't be shy.

Either review them or PM me.

On another note, if you have free time you should listen to the song 'Ring Of Keys' from Fun Home because it so good.

It was performed at the Tony's and I just lerve it.

That's all.
