divergent-no war- Fourtris

chapter 3

Tobias POV:

Im at Zekes waiting for some other people to arrive. So far its me, Zeke, Shauna, Uriah, Marlene, Lynn and some other dauntless initiates who I cant remember the names of. Then Peter walks in and I groan not loudly, no-one notices. He stands across the room from me looking at the ceiling. Tris and Christina arrive and walk over to me, Will following.
"What is he doing here?" Christina says gesturing to Peter. I shrug.
"Hey, you ok?" Tris says and a small smile creeps across my face.
"Yeah, you?" I hate small talk but there isn't much else to say right now.
Christina walks away and then comes right back, before Tris can answer my question and shoves a drink in her hand. I dont know what it is but its definitely got alcohol in it, I mean its Zekes 'party'.
"What is it?" Tris asks Christina.
"Bottoms up," Christina looks at home, shes built for socialising.
I take the cup out of Tris's hand and take a sip. The familiar taste of alcohol hits me and burns my throat but I like it.
"Hey!" Tris says and elbows me in the side a bit too hard.
I rest my hand on her shoulder and she sips the cup then immediately regrets it. I laugh and Zeke spots her spitting it out and points follwed by a laugh. Uriah walks over and claps me on my back. Lauren and tori arrive and leave in the same ten minutes and peter walks out an hour later follwed by will thirty minutes after that. The dauntless born get bored or think of something better to do, so its just people i know and like. Half an hour later,  Zeke calls for a game of dauntless or candor.
Uriah almost skips to the circle and I sit myself next to Shauna and Lynn.
"DIBS GOING FIRST," Uriah is a bit too excited... i think hes drunk,"four, candor or dauntless?"
I think for a moment and settle for dauntless "dauntless, of course"
"Fight me!" His words are slurred now and I try not to laugh
"Thats hardly a dare," I say and look at him like hes stupid, because sometimes he is.
"You scared, hmm, you pansycake," he gets up and i stand up too.
"Okay, fine but just know I will probably hurt you," I dont see why we need to fight.
He lunges at me and I stand to the side, he falls because he put most of his weight into that punch. Marlene laughs and Christina starts to chant for Uriah. I doge his attempts for the next five minutes before he gets bored or tired and I trip him up causing him to fall flat on his face.
"Ow, dude really?" Uriah wines grabbing his nose.
I dont smile but I sit back down and ask Lynn.
"Dauntless, duh," she says and i dare her to get another piercing.
"Okay, who are my witnesses?" Marlene and Zeke go with her and return some time later with a bright red lipped Lynn.
"Lip piercing, nice," Uriah says and Lynn dares Marlene to ding dong ditch Max and they come back panting and giggling. Marlene asks Christina, who says candor and Uriah shouts "PANSYCAKE!". we ask her what her most embarrassing memory is and she said when she peed herself last year infront of the whole school. Of course Uriah laughs like a maniac. Christina asks Tris and she says dare.
"I dare you to cut your hair,"
"No, I dont want to," Tris says.
"You have to," Zeke says and tris sighs finding some scissors and snipping her hair. Its not short, she only cut three inches off and Christina had to help on some parts. Once everyone has had two more goes we agree to go back to our own apartments or back to the dorms.
Im the last one to leave and Zeke is cleaning up hair and smashed bottles and Uriahs puke.
"See you tomorrow," I say as I close the door and Tris is waiting for me.
"Hey," I say in a calm voice
"Hi," she looks at me for a moment  "can i sleep at your place tonight?"
"Sure." I say and im not sure whether I'll be sleeping on the floor or not but I dont really mind as long as I can be near Tris.

We walk through the door and I lock it and leave the key next to the door.
"Want some water?" I ask just like last time she was here.
"No-thanks," she says and sways on her heels. I walk over to her and kiss her forehead. She grabs a fist-full of my shirt and kisses me. She moves her hands up my chest and raps her arms around my neck and I fit my hands into the small of her back, my fingers are on her back now inder her shirt and I dont think I did it on purpose. We're still kissing and her hands are shaking but I dont care I just kiss her more and she returns that. I pull back and look her in the eye. I touch my forehead to hers and our noses touch and although this feels like a dream, I feel at peace.
"Come on," i hold her by her elbow and walk her to my bed."do you want me to take the floor?" I say placing my hand carefully on her cheek.
"No," and thats all she says before getting in my bed. I smile and offer her some more comfortable clothes. She accepts a hoodie and slips it on ontop of what she was already wearing. I get changed and climb into the other side of the bed. Im feeling very awkward now. She runs a hand through her hair and I say "I like your new hair cut, tris" she just smiles and turns away. I slip my arm under her head and wrap my other one around her torso. she holds the hand thats next to her head and puts her arm on mine. I feel her breathing, calm and even. i know shes just about to fall asleep.

"I love you, Tris."
