Divergent No War

CHAPTER 9

TRIS' POV

We exit Uriah's apartment and we practically run home, needy of eachother's touch. When we enter our flat, we slam the door shut and Tobias pushes me against it, getting the closest to me he possibly can.

He starts off kissing me softly, but the passion increases by the moments. He grabs my hands and pins them above my head, making me want to touch him even more.

He holds my hands up with one of his and with the other gently caresses my side, making me sigh softly. I run my fingers through his curly hair and softly pull, earning a low groan from Tobias.

He slips his and under my t-shirt and I gasp from the surprise. We pull away slowly and look at each other's eyes. Tobias smiles sheepishly, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. You're just so beautiful I can't ever get enough of you" "I'ts okay, you didn't scare me, I just wasn't expecting it" I say smiling softly at him.

"Come on, let's go to bed" he bends down and grabs my legs, throwing me over his shoulder and carrying me to our bedroom. He throws me on the bed and goes to the bathroom. A few minutes later, he comes out only wearing black short sweatpants, leaving his chiseled chest and six pack to my own enjoyment.

"See something you like?" I snap out of my thoughts and direct my eyes to his face, only to find him smirking. Apparently, Tobias' godly looks have hypnotized me and I've been staring at him and biting my lip for a good 5 minutes.

I blush and look away. Tobias throws his shirt at me and I go to change in the bathroom. While I put the shirt on I study myself in the mirror. I still am pale, since I've been living underground for some weeks. I still have some bruises from initiation too, some are starting to fade while others are bright purple. I sigh and get out of the room.

Tobias has already put himself under the covers and he's staring at the ceiling with his hands on his stomach. I lie next to him and put the blankets on me, making myself comfortable. I throw an arm across Tobias' waist, lying my head on his bare chest.

He puts his arm around me and rubs my back. He kisses my forehead and whispers, "Good night, my first jumper", and I fall into a deep sleep.

I feel the matress move, I open my eyes and see Tobias sitting on the edge of the bed. I take in the beauty of his tattoo. I still remember the first time he showed it to me, after the fear landscapes. He confessed that he was still a virgin too, and that surprised me.

A lot.

I mean, you just have to look at him. He's the most beautiful creature in the planet. His deep blue eyes, where I could get lost. The way the ink is placed on his skin, drawing the factions, each one with a different meaning. Kindness, selflessness, bravery, intelligence and honesty.

He claims that he has to work on his kindness, but he doesn't realize how of a good person he is. He isn't and won't be nothing like Marcus.

He gets up and walks to the bathroom, grabbing his clothes in the process. I open the drawers and choose what to wear. A black v-neck, black skinny jeans and combat boots.

Today is the first day of work. I'll be working with Tori and Bud in the tattoo parlor for most of the year and when the initiates come, I'll help Tobias to train them.

Tobias gets out of the bathroom fully dressed. He smiles at me, "I didn't know you were up" says placing his hand on my cheek, "Are you ready for your first day?" "Of course" I say, nodding my head.

"Let's go, then" he says putting his arm around my shoulder.

*****

Tori told me that I obviously wasn't going to start tattooing people on my first day and that I'll have a few days to draw some sketches to see if my artistic skills are good enough to tattoo an actual person. She gave me a little notebook and told me that whenever I'm feeling inspired, just draw my idea and then I can perfection it.

Now it's lunchtime and I'm waiting for Tobias outside of the parlor. He said that he would walk me to the caffeteria. It's been about 5 minutes and Tobias shows up, looking pretty happy. He's walking fast, with his hands in his pockets and he's smiling at the floor.

"Hey" I say confused, "Why are you so cheerful?" I say while he's putting his arms around me, "Nothing. I'm just excited to see you" he says as we pull away and places his right arm around my shoulders. 

We walk to the cafeteria and sit with the gang, which is already there. We eat silently for a few minutes until Shauna decides to talk, "So... I have a big announcement to make...", everyone looks up from their food and pay attention to her.

"I..."

What do you think is Shauna's big announcement?
