Jasper knocked on Eric's door and Eric opened it, shirtless, which is how Eric stayed when he was in his room. "Um."

"Come in." Eric said and closed the door after Jasper stepped inside.

Jasper turned and looked at Eric. "Bella said you guys are okay now."

"We are. Are you okay?"

Jasper ran a hand through his hair. "To be honest, I'm just… she almost died Eric."

"I know." Eric said, swallowing.

Jasper studied Eric. "I'm not in love with Bella. I wanted you to know that."

"You care about her."

"I do. She's my best friend here. She's exceptional at everything she does."

"She is everything Dauntless is." Eric agreed.

There was some silence between them now and Jasper finally said something. "You were gone yesterday. She was worried."

"I told her where I was yesterday." Eric said, going over to a small fridge in his room and opened it, taking a beer out and handed one to Jasper.

Jasper took it and then leaned against the dresser, relaxing as he opened the beer. "You told her everything?"

"Yeah. Everything that was important." Eric said. "How about you? You going to tell her that you're Divergent?"

"I will. When the time comes. Training today you were pissy. You really pushed Al." Jasper said and took a drink of his beer.

Eric sighed and sat on the bed, taking a drink of his own beer. "Well, he has to do something. I can't carry him above that line. He has to keep working at it."

"I know. I told him to get his shit together. When Bella came to talk to you, Al came to me while I was showering." Jasper said. "He said that he's having some mental stuff going on. He's been off. I know that he's a bad shot, but when Bella got shot that day, that was the worse he had ever done. His progress with the knives are backsliding. The only thing saving him is that he actually won his spar the other day. I don't know what is wrong with him."

"It's possible that everything is just weighing on him." Eric said. "He stole important plans from Jeanine before coming here from Erudite. He's not built for Dauntless, but he did it anyways because what we're doing is more important."

Jasper sighed. "Okay. I'll work harder with him."

"You're going to have to do something. Max can't see me ever showing any mercy on any of you out there. He already thought I had relaxed too much. I haven't forced as many spars as I should have at this point. Four is doing a good job of being a distraction." Eric said and sighed. "I saw George yesterday. He looks okay. Carlisle got medicine to them, which was needed. The water is contaminated out there. They have to figure out a better way to filter water. Even if they managed to fix it for the time being." Eric explained.

"The water was fine for two years now. Why the sudden change?"

"I don't know." Eric said and sighed. "Maybe the spring has changed in the mountain. I have to figure it out." He took another drink of his beer.

Jasper stood there a moment. "Did you two really… before me and her?"

"Yeah. She jumped me." Eric said and ran a hand through his hair on top. "It was unexpected. I knew, in my mind, that it was a bad idea. But then when have I ever been smart."

Jasper snorted. "Never."

Eric smiled. "I love her Jasper. I told her I loved her tonight."

"That's good. Admitting your feelings and not running from them like you normally do."

"Yeah. I knew the moment I saw you both flirting in the training room. I just made excuses for it. Because I was pissed off that your hands were on her. It was hard to watch. So I came to the conclusion that I was falling for her. I didn't know she was Divergent. I'm usually good at spotting other Divergents, but with her… I just completely missed it." Eric said.

Jasper nodded. "Yeah, I missed it too. I was just having fun. She is fun." He shrugged. "But she is like my best friend now."

Eric knew that Bella was extraordinary and she attracted people. "Even Lukas was infatuated with her. I didn't know he was feeling that way. I hadn't really seen him with another girl and then he kissed her at the bazaar. I mean, now it's different. He's covering for us, but I just wish I could just be open with Bella when I want. If Max wouldn't kill me, I would." He finished his beer.

Jasper understood the need for secrecy. "Yeah, but did it have to be Lukas? He really has feelings for Bella, you know that right?"

"I didn't really know. He was really upset when she got hurt. He was calm during, but afterwards. That night when she was sleeping, he cried. I had never seen him cry before and I knew that he cared a lot. He didn't want to talk about it. He went into surgery the next morning. He hid the tumor from me."

"Yeah, I didn't know." Jasper said. "When we're out there, he's Dauntless. He doesn't even slip. Not once. Him being with Bella has made Tris question Bella's sanity. Tris is clueless on what her sister is. Bella hasn't told me. I think the only one that knows is probably Tori."

Eric nodded. "I'm pretty certain that Tori knows that Bella is Divergent. I think that's how Bella figured out what she was. Because Tori overrode her test. Manually put Dauntless. But that's not important anymore. What's important now is finishing out this round. Next round we'll be doing trips outside the wall. Max thinks it's a great way to test the recruits. I know I have ulterior motives, but it will test the group."

"It's a risk." Jasper pointed out.

"I know. Ravagers outside the wall. But with the training in the first round, you guys can handle it." Eric said.

"Maybe. Al is still the weakest link here. I'll work with him more. Get his marksman better. Knives and sparring. I'll get him to 23."

Eric nodded. "Good. You should get back before anyone gets suspicious." He said and stood.

Jasper leaned away from the dresser, finishing his beer quickly and setting it down. He walked over to Eric and then they hugged, slapping each other's back. "Don't take your pissy mood out on me again during training."

Eric smiled. "No promises brother." He said and watched Jasper leave. He went to the window in his room and looked out on Chicago. The lights were peppered through the city. He could see Abnegation housing from afar and he knew that Jeanine was planning on a total devastation of Abnegation once their research and new serum was complete. He just hoped that he had time to stop it from happening.


[One Week Later]


"The stitches look great." Carlisle said to Bella when he checked her side and back out. "You can return to physical duty. Though I would be mindful of the stitches still. Don't go to the extreme."

Bella smiled. "Well, you know me."

"I do, which is why I'm releasing you." Carlisle said with a smile. "Everything else okay? Eric okay?"

"He's… Eric." Bella said and sighed. "This week has been up and down. I think a lot of it is the water situation." Bella alluded to what Eric told her about George and the water.

Carlisle nodded. "Yeah, he's stressed. Maybe just make him relax. So he's not thinking about all the stuff he has to do."

Bella agreed. She would make Eric relax tonight after training. Maybe get Lukas and Jasper in on it. "Yeah, that's a good idea. Thanks Carlisle." She said and then she left.


Later that night, Bella went to the bazaar. Her first stop was the bar, getting a drink, before she went to Tori to get a tattoo.

Bella opened the door and Tori was tattooing Lukas. She raised a brow and leaned against the door when she closed it. "Looks amazing." She complimented.

Lukas smiled. He had his arm tucked under his head as he lay there, inclined on the table while Tori ran the tattoo machine over his side and chest, creating a tribal pattern. "Thanks. Doc clear you?"

"Yup. Good to go."

Tori leaned back, finishing. She smiled over at Bella. "You're next."

Bella smiled and watched Lukas get up. He walked over to her, his muscles flexed a little as he got used to the stinging feeling left by the tattoo. He bent and kissed her and Bella kissed him back. "Hey, don't leave the bazaar without me tonight. I have something for us to do."

"Oooh, sounds like sexy time." Tori said, waggling her brows a little.

Bella smiled. "You have a dirty mind."

"Guilty." Tori said and Bella sat down, taking off her shirt. "What are thinking?"

"Hmm. I'm thinking… something with water."

"Got it." Tori said immediately and got up for a stencil. She returned with it and she placed it on Bella's side under her bandage. Lukas watched quietly as Tori started the tattoo machine then tattooed what looked like waves and a rising sun. None of them had really seen what a large body of water looked like in real life but books showed details of what an ocean looked like.

When it was done, Bella looked at it and smiled. "Thanks T."

"Of course. Now you guys go have sexy time." Tori said with a wink.

Bella didn't say anything, just smiled and shook her head, before linking her hand with Lukas's then walked out of the shop. They returned to the bar, ordering more drinks. Jasper finally joined them and the three of them danced for a while on the dance floor before they spotted Eric at the bar. He didn't look like he was in a good mood.

Bella broke away from dancing to go to the bar. "Hey."

Eric sighed. "Hey."

"I want to go back to your room." Bella murmured. "You have whisky?"

"I do." Eric said, raising a brow. "What are we doing?"

"I want you to relax. So, Lukas and Jasper are going to help with it." Bella said with a smile. "It's a game we used to play in Abnegation, I promise it's not boring."

Eric nodded. "Alright. Sure, distractions are good." He said. "I'll meet you back in my room then." He said and then he got up and left.

Bella smiled, watching him leave. Lukas and Jasper got to the bar, both laughing at something. "Hey, come on. Plan, cheer up Eric is a go."

Lukas high fived Jasper. "Let's do it." He said and the three of them went to Eric's room, making sure they weren't followed.


Eric thought about the last week. Training was going okay. He talked more with Bella about the situation with George. He had a meeting with Jeanine that morning along with Marcus and Max. It wasn't a good one, so it was weighing heavy on his mind still.

The door opened and Bella, Jasper and Lukas slipped in.

Bella smiled, going over to Eric and kissing him softly. "I know you probably had a long day, but I really think you need to relax some. It's good for your health to just pause and take a breather."

"I'm a Dauntless leader Bella, I'm always going to be stressed and this is me relaxed."

Lukas snorted. "You're tense. You have to loosen up. Staying tense like that is going to give you wrinkles."

Jasper snickered a little. "Come on Eric, I know you know how to have fun."

Eric sighed. "Okay, but I'm too sober for whatever the fuck it is." He said and got cups out for whiskey. He poured some for all of them and they clicked their cups together before they took a large drink.

Bella cleared her throat. "Okay, so a game we used to play in Abnegation is Never Have I ever."

"What?" Eric said, his brow raised.

"So, basically, you go around and you say never have I ever done this thing and the people who have, have to drink."

"Wait a minute." Lukas said. "Abnegation drinks?"

Bella smacked Lukas's arm. "Yes. We're not stiffs. Maybe our parents are, but the kids, we had some wild moments." She said with a smile. "So. I'll go first. Never have I ever, dove off a cliff." She said and then watched Eric sigh and drink.

"I feel like I've done a lot, so I'm going to be drunk faster." Eric pointed out.

Jasper laughed. "That's the point. Never have I ever, gone skinny dipping."

Lukas drank and Eric drank. Then Lukas thought about something he's never done. "Hmm. Never have I ever broken a rib."

Bella rolled her eyes and took a drink and so did Jasper and Eric. "Wait, Jasper how did you break a rib?"

"Got kicked by a donkey." Jasper said with a smile. "Broke three ribs. I was thirteen."

"Ouch." Eric said and then swirled his glass a little thinking. "Damn, this is hard. I've done a lot of shit."

Bella thought about it. "What about bungee jumping? There are books-"

"I've done it. From the tallest building here in Chicago." Eric said. "I have also parasailed from the tallest building too. I've been shot, I've been stabbed, I've been run over."

"Run over?" Bella asked.

Lukas nodded. "Oh yeah, when one of the Dauntless kids stole one of the Dauntless vehicles and they didn't know how to hit the breaks, only the gas and it went right over Eric."

"That had to hurt." Bella said with a frown.

"Oddly, not the worse pain I have felt." Eric said. "I think its easier to drink for everything I've done." He said and took a drink of his drink.

Bella laughed. "That's not how it works. There has to be something you haven't done."

"Afraid not." Eric said with a smile. It was nice to see him smile about things.

"Okay fine." Lukas said. "Never have I ever taken part of the Bazaar orgies."

Bella, Eric, and Jasper all took a drink.

"No fucking way." Lukas said, looking at Bella. "When? Who?"

"Hmm. Tori and well Eric. But he ran away." And…." She drifted off. "Edward I guess… I just didn't know it was him. It got dark."

Eric lay a hand on Bella's squeezing it and she smiled at him.

Jasper nodded. "I need details on the Tori bit. Is she like-"

Bella smacked his arm too and they all were laughing.

After several back and forward and two empty whisky bottles later, it was safe to say that all four of them were completely wasted.

"It's hot in here." Bella slurred a little and she stood and took her shirt off and started taking off her pants.

Eric watched her. He was sitting in the floor, leaned against his bed. "It is warm in here." He admitted.

Lukas and Jasper nodded their agreements, but they watched Bella as she got to her panties and bra.

Eric studied the way Lukas and Jasper looked at Bella. He knew that they enjoyed her company. If he was sober, maybe he would be jealous, but right now, he felt like he was flying. He leaned up, grabbing her hand and pulled her down into his lap, his mouth meeting hers. It was like instant, their bodies felt electric. The kiss broke, to Bella turning in Eric's lap, looking at Lukas and Jasper. Eric's mouth was on her shoulder, kissing her. He reached around the front and unzipped the bra.

Eric looked at Jasper and Lukas. "This is the only time this happens. If she says stop, you stop." He said and he let the bra fall.

Bella smiled, realizing the type of fun Eric was instigating. She felt his hands move over her sides and then to her hips before dipping into her panties. "It's okay. Touch me." She said, nodding to Lukas and Jasper.

Lukas and Jasper were mesmerized by Bella, the seductive glow of her skin, the way her breast curved and her nipples stood erect. Lukas moved first, moving towards Eric and Bella. He reached his hand out, cupping her breast, getting a pleasant sigh out of Bella. Eric kissed her neck, taking one hand and rubbing her clit, gathering a moan.

Eric paused a moment, letting Bella out of his lap, so he could pull her panties off. She was gloriously naked before all of them. He moved her to the bed and then nodded to his brother. "Go ahead." He said and he watched is brother hesitate a moment but he moved towards the bed, leaning down, taking her nipple into his mouth.

Jasper smiled, pulling his shirt off and looking at Eric, who did the same thing. "You're not going to regret this in the morning?"

"I don't think I will." Eric said, looking at Jasper. "It's all fun." He said and then unfastened his pants. "I suggest you take a turn before you end up on bottom."

Jasper smiled. "I don't mind being bottom." He said with a wink and then he moved to the bed, unfastening his own pants as well.

Bella felt pleasure roll over her and drip off her while Lukas teased her nipple with his tongue and Jasper teased her other nipple with his tongue. She felt pleasant, the alcohol making her feel so much more. She gasped when she felt Eric's mouth meet her hot core, his tongue swirling over her clit, causing her to move her hips automatically. It was the most erotic feeling, being pleasured from three points. Eric pushed her legs apart more, as he shifted, using his fingers to reach inside her while his mouth lapped up outside.

Bella reached for Lukas's pants, managing to unfasten them, springing his hard cock free. She stroked him, causing him to moan against her nipple. She pumped her hand, getting another moan from Lukas, before she stopped, only teasing him, getting him to whimper slightly from her removing her hand. She reached for Jasper and gasped as she felt her climax grow inside, building like an immense pressure, that she was ready to let out. She managed to stroke Jasper's cock a couple times before she burst open, her orgasm rocking through her hard and Eric drank her in. He wasn't stopping, sending her into a pleasure roller coaster.

Eric leaned up, stroking his own cock as he watched the pleasure roll over her. Jasper and Lukas still worked on her nipples and she was stroking Jasper and Lukas at the same time now. He shifted her then, hooking her legs up on his shoulders and he pushed his cock inside her all the way, deep. She moaned, clenching around him. He steadied himself, feeling himself pulse already with anticipated excitement. He thrust into her hard, jolting her getting her to moan again. He did it again and again, until she shuddered, drenching him again with what seemed like a continuous orgasm.

Eric groaned a little as he pumped, but he held himself back. He stopped, letting her legs go and then he pulled her up, letting Jasper and Lukas sit back and then he was on his back, Bella on top. "Lean over baby." He murmured and she did that, laying on his chest. "Trust me?"

"I do." Bella said with a smile.

Eric nodded to Jasper. "You know this position."

"Yeah, I do." Jasper admitted and he moved to behind Bella. His hands moved over her ass, his fingers gripping her slightly, before he moved his cock against her entrance already filled with Eric. He slipped slowly inside, sliding against Eric's cock. Jasper did the moving and Bella's body shuddered and she orgasmed again. Jasper kept pushing until he heard Eric moan under Bella. It wasn't long where Jasper was exploding inside Bella, pushing inside as deep as he could. A couple minutes later, they pulled out of Bella, sweat coating their bodies, but it wasn't finished. Lukas moved Bella to him, his mouth covering hers. It was a moment he admitted, yearned for. His tongue slid across hers and then she was toppling him onto his back, raising up to slid over his cock.

Lukas groaned, his eyes closing as Bella moved over him. She was like a goddess, her hips dancing over his until he was close to his finish. He gripped her hips with his hands when she came down again and he erupted. She stilled her hips, panting a little, but she smiled down at Lukas. She reached a hand up, patted his face and winked before she got up off him.

Eric was certainly relaxed now. He lay on his bed, Bella laying against him. Jasper and Lukas got up off the bed, grabbing their clothes.

"That… was fantastic and my queue to leave." Jasper said with a grin. "I'll see you two in the morning. I'll cover for you Bells." He said, before pulling his boots on and shirt and walked out the door.

Lukas was slower at getting dressed than Jasper, but he managed. "I'm pretty sure we're going to regret the whisky in the morning."

"Damn straight you are." Eric said with a grin. "Someone's going to puke tomorrow."

"Ugh." Lukas said and sighed. "Well, this was… fun. I'll see you tomorrow." He said and left the room to Eric and Bella now.

There was some silence for a bit before Bella spoke. "What made you do that?"

"What? Orgy?" Eric asked.

"Yeah." Bella said with a chuckle.

"Well, it was a one time thing. I'm too far in love with you to ever share you with other people, but I wanted Lukas to experience you."

Bella frowned then leaned up and looked down at him. "Why?"

"Because. I know he cares about you and he would never have the chance otherwise. I know that he has feelings for you and I wanted him to have that closure. Same with Jasper. Plus, I'm really drunk right now and it seemed like a good idea." Eric said.

Bella smiled a little and shook her head. "You are full of surprises." She said and then leaned down and kissed him softly before she snuggled up in his arms. It didn't take long for either of them to fall asleep, content in each others arms.
