Divergent | No War

6 - Suprises

I wake up as ever at 7 am. I stretch and tap into my kitchen. I make myself a coffee and get myself a muffin out of the fridge. I put it in the oven and let it warm up for two minutes before i bite into the now warm chocolat muffin. I sigh. This is way to good. I smile and get dressed while occasionaly sipping my coffee. I slip on a t-shirt, a hoodie and pants. All black of course.
I exit the apartment at exactly 7.30 am.
I walk over to Tobias apartment and knock three times. He opens the door still in his boxers, his hair messy and the shirt hanging loosly. I grin at him. "Hey. I guess i woke you up but i didn't see you yesterday and was worried." He shakes his head. "Its fine. Are you heading for work?" I nod and glance at my clock. "And you should too. If you don't want to be late." He only nods again and i frown. Only now i notice the dark circles under his eyes and how miserable he looks. "Are you okay?" He bites the inside of his cheek and then sets up a smile. "Sure." I narrow my eyes at him and tap his chest. "I will come here after work. This is not over." He sighs defeated and smiles a bit more but it still doesn't quiet reach his eyes. "I thought so." I smile at him and give him a light kiss. "See you later." He mumbles and then slowly closes the door. I frown and bite on my lip. He really worries me.
I turn around and walk towards my office.
I knock on Dannies door. "Yes. Come in." I step in and close the door behind me. "I wanted to ask whether i could get the day off today. I have to help my friend. He is not feeling so good." Dannie nods and looks at his calender. "Today is okay. But then you have to work on saturday." I smile and nod. "Thank you so much. See you tomorrow then." He smiles a bit and nods. "Okay. Best wishes for that friend of yours." I nod and smile wider. "I will tell him. Thank you so much again." And with that i leave.

Five minutes later i knock on Tobias door again. He opens it a few seconds later. He still wears his boxers and his shirt. He looks suprised. "Tris? I thought you have to work." I roll my eyes and push him deeper inside his apartment. I shut the door with my heel. "I wanted to look what bothers you and so i canceled work to help you." He bites the inside of his cheek. "Tobias what is it?" He shakes his head and falls onto his couch. Just now i look around and see that his apartment is a mess. There are dirty dishes in the sink on the couch and on the floor . Clothes are spread around everywhere and his furniture seems to stand at the wrong place. I am shocked and kneel infront of him. "Please tobias. What bothers you so much? You can tell me." His eyes dart to mine but only to look away a second later. "Nothing. I am just tired." I sigh and sit down next to him. "I surely wish you would trust me..." i mumble. And it is true. I am sad that he doesn't want to tell me. He looks at me with wide open eyes. I move a bit away from him. "Don't pretend. You know what i mean." He searches for words. "That is not true." He says after a few seconds. "Tris i trust you more than anyone else. I swear. I-I-I love you." I sigh. "Of course you can say that now. And i really do want to believe that you trust me but you still keep to yourself. You-you never tell me anything. Sometimes i don't see you for days! and then you are back and don't tell me anything. This has been going like that for weeks now and i'm-i'm wondering..." I trail off. I have to fight tears and let my head hang. Tobias next to me has no words. He wraps his arm around my shoulder. "I am sorry. I didn't know it affected you like this. I..." he pulls me closer to him and i burry my head in his chest. "Please just tell me what you are doing. Where you are going. I don't want to stop you. I just want to know where you are." He strokes my head. "I will tell you. I swear. Actually i will show you." I nod and wrap my arms around him tighter. He pulls me on his lap and i cling to him. "I love you tris." He whispers. I open my mouth to say it back when suddenly someone bargs through the door. "Four! Four! Fo-" Uri stops shouting but then starts again. "Four and tris! Four and Tris! Four and Tris!" I start laughing and wipe a single tear from my cheek. Uri looks at me concerned. "Why are you crying trissy?" I wave it away but he points at tobias. "Did he hurt you?" He cracks his knuckles. I jump down from tobias lap. "Woah Uri. I appreciate that you want to take care of me but no he didn't hurt me. It was-it wad something at work." Uri nods and relaxes a bit. Tobias rolls his eyes and stands up as well. "Okay and do you want to tell me why you come running into my apartment like a maniac?" Uri slaps his forehead. "Of course! Come with me! Both of you! Something happend." I walk after Uri and Tobias follows me. From behind he slides his hand in mine. I smile at him and he smiles back. Just then he realises that he is still wearing boxers. "Uri wait! I need pants!" Uri turns around and laughs. "You better get those." I laugh as well while tobias runs to get his pants.
