Divergent: After Initiation with No War

Chapter 2: Confessions

Disclaimer: I do not own the Divergent Triology, Veronica Roth does!

Tris' POV:

Tobias leads me to our apartment and asks me if I want water when I sit down on his bed.

"No thanks," I say.

"Ok. I heard that someone only had seven fears," Tobias says jokingly. But I don't think it's funny because it just reminded me of my fear of intimacy. I guess I look nervous because Tobias asks me if somethings up.

"Nothing," I say as calmly as possible.

"I don't think it's nothing Tris. You look nervous," Tobias says with worry," You can tell me. I hate seeing you like this and," I cut him off.

" You were in my fear landscape today," I blurt out, trembling a little. Then I blush. Tobias just looks shocked and... hurt?

"Y-your afraid of m-me," he stutters, looking hurt. No, no , no, Tobias, I think to myself.

"No, no, Tobias. I'm not afraid of you. It's.. it's just that,.... I wonder what's in it for you in this relationship because," I can't finish because Tobias cuts me off.

"What's in it for me?" Tobias says shaking his head,"You're an idiot, Tris."

" I'm not an idiot!" I say back. Ok, now I'm confused. He doesn't want me just to have... sex?

"Which is why I'm wondering why, out of all the girls you could have in Dauntless, you chose me? I mean if your just looking for.... that, then....," I say to him.

"What? Sex?" he scowls at me," You know, Tris, if I was just looking for....that, then you probably wouldn't be my first chose."

Should I feel offended about the last statement or relieved that he doesn't want...that? I'm kind of offended so I stand up and start to walk towards the door when Tobias grabs my arm. I look down, not wanting to look at him.

"I'm sorry, Tris. I didn't mean it like that." he apologizes with guilt on his face, "It's just that I don't think of you that way. I respect you, so I can wait as long as you need me to." He finishes up with a genuine smile, and I can't help but smile back.

"Thank you. For everything. Maybe you won't be in my fear landscape anymore," I respond. We look at each other for a couple seconds, then we both lean in at the same time and have our lips collide in the middle.

A/N: Sorry it's short, just thought u guys needed SOMETHING. I'm out of school now so hopefully I will update more often! Also the name I'll be ending with every time will be a book, series, movie, etc. that I can't stop thinking about that day.
