Uriah stopped and opened the door leading outside the Dauntless compound where everyone had gone back to for hiding out. We were on a balcony seven stories up and I could see the building that I jumped off of, beginning my new life in Dauntless. A chill went up my spine from remembering the excitement that flooded my body when I jumped that day.

I still didn't know why we were here though. I tried to think of an appropriate way to ask but my mind was empty. Somehow I couldn't think of anything to say. I wasn't used to that horrible feeling.

Suddenly the air started picking up and blowing my now shoulder length hair into my eyes.

"Uriah... why are we out here? It's cold.", I finally asked.

His eyes skimmed his own body. I could tell he was looking to see if he was wearing a jacket to give me. Will did that too...

He looked at me and sighed. "I don't have anything, but I can go grab a jacket from your room if you want."

"No. I'm fine," I lied.

It seemed as if he was avoiding my other question. It only made me more anxious to find out. Secretly I wanted to see him on truth serum, but I cast the thought away, realizing the selfishness that hid below it.

"Christina... I know, it must be hard and all. I wasn't sure myself, but I wanted to get it out. I'm not the type of person for- err- romantic confessions or anything," he coughed, "But anyways. I like you allot. Yeah, it's kind of awkward with everything, but I do. I thought maybe we could get to know each other. Maybe..." His voice trailed off.

My head started clearing up and I felt captivated by Uriah. All I wanted to do was to be with him. I felt my face turning pink and I brushed a strand of dark hair from my eyes.

"Maybe?" I wondered.

I didn't wait for him to respond. I just followed my instinct. I put my hands around his body, lifted my lips to his, and kissed him.

 I looked for his reaction through my wandering eyes and he just smiled at me. He put his arms around me and pulled me closer. I was so close that I could hear my heart beat with his. Part of me panicked. What would everyone else think? But really, that didn't matter. The only thing that mattered now was us.
