Born Dauntless

I love you too

Tris POV

I wake up to a bright light. It takes a while but finally my eyes open up and I see I'm in the living room of my house. The lights are so bright that I have to shut my eyes again and I groan.

"Tris?" I hear Uri call and hear footsteps coming my way. "How are you feeling?" I hear him kneel down beside me, my eyes still closed.

"The lights are really bright." I complain and cover my hands over my eyes.

"Ok hold on." He gets up and even through my hands, I can see the lights got dimer.

"How's that?" I peak my eyes open and I can see Uri hovering above me. "Good."

I start to sit up but Uriah pushes me back down. "Come on. I'm feeling better. Don't start treating me like I'm always needing help Uri. Otherwise you'll be just like everyone else," I comment, remembering how before training no one would let me do anything since I'm smaller than everyone else.

"Sorry tris. I just want to make sure you're ok. You had me worried. You were asleep almost all day."

"What day is it?"

"Sunday. We have training tomorrow so you better rest. Zeke thinks the best way to get back at Eric and Peter is to try and rank higher than him and all of his followers. Since he is a leader we can't do a lot so no one won't suspect anything."

"Okay," I reply and sit up, Uriah letting me this time. "I'm gonna go see what Lynn is doing. I feel like I haven't been with her in a while even though it's been like a day."

"K. I'm meeting Marlene for lunch. We are gonna eat at Dauntless Burger," he says and stands up.

"I knew it!" I shout. "You two are dating!"

"What no we are just-"

"Uriah I know how you look at her and how she looks at you. You two are meant for each other!"

"Fine you caught me. Well I better be off before I'm late and she gets mad." He laughs and I do too.

He walks out the door and I go change into a maroon tank and black leggings with my black high tops. Finally I make my way out the door and on my way to Lynn's house, I'm stopped by Four.

"Oh hey Four,"

"Hey tris, can I talk to you in my apartment?"

"Yea," I respond and we walk to his apartment.
He doesn't say anything on the way their and once we get in, he just walks out to his balcony.

"What did you want to talk about?" I say leaning on the rail.

"I-I just got so scared when you were kidnapped yesterday. I don't know what I would do if something terrible would have happened to you. When you didn't show up after 45 minutes I was terrified and when I saw you being held up by Peter, I lost it. I can't imagine anyone wanting to hurt you. You are the most brace, selfless, honest, smart and kind person I've ever met. I can't imagine life without you." 

I turn toward him not knowing what to say but instead I press my lips to his. He is much taller than me so I am on my tip toes but that is the least of my worries. He kisses me back and wraps his arms around my small back, pressing me closer to him. I wrap my arms around his neck while I still kiss him.

By the time we pull apart, I don't know how long it has been but it felt too short.

He cups my face in his hands and presses his forehead up against mine. "I love you Tris," he whispers. "You don't know how long I've been waiting to do that."

"I love you too."
