Divergent No War

CHAPTER 4

TRIS' POV

The first thing I see when I wake up is Tobias' face. He looks so much younger when he sleeps. He's facing down, with his arms around his head and his lips are parted.

I have the urge to kiss him, so I do it.

I press my lips to his softly, careful to not wake him up.

I keep kissing him til I feel his lips moving against mine.

I pull away embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, I didn't want to wake you up. You looked so vulnerable..." I say blushing. "It's okay, beautiful" says Tobias smiling "I can get used to wake up like this".

"I'm going to shower" "Okay"

I get up and go to the kitchen. I cook breakfast for me and Tobias while he's in the shower.

Strong arms hug me from behind. "What are you cooking?" whispers Tobias
"Scrambled eggs" I whisper back. Tobias kisses my head and sits down, "You choose your job today" I put the eggs on two plates and place them on the table. "Yeah..." "Come on, Tris. Why can't you tell me?" "Because I want it to be a surprise" I say sitting down.

The rest of the breakfast is silent. Tobias is probably too busy trying to guess what job I am going to choose and I'm doing the same with my friends.

We finish our breakfast and we head to the cafeteria.

"First initiate  to choose her job: Tris"

I walk up to the stage, where Max is waiting for me with a microphone in his hand. 

"I choose initiate trainer and tattoo artist"  "Here's the key for your new apart-" "Actually, I won't be needing that" I cut him off. "Okay..." says Max confused.

Everyone cheers while I walk down of the stage. I spot Tobias on a corner leaning against the wall with a stupid smile on his face.  When I'm a few feet away from him he pulls me into a tight hug. "I'm so excited I'll be spending more time with you" he whispers in my hair "Me too" "Come on, let's get out of here". He intertwines his fingers with mine and he leads us to ours spot in the chasm.

We sit and after some moments of silence, Tobias says "I'll really like you around when we have to train initiates but are you sure this is what you truly want? I don't want to keep you from doing anything" "Of course this is what I want. If it wasn't I wouldn't have chosen it".

I grab his face a pull his lips to mine, giving him reassurance that this is what I want.

We pull away and he places his forehead against mine and I stare into his eyes, taking in their beauty.

And we stay like that for a long, long time.
