Love is War (A Divergent Fanfic)

Chapter 21

A/N: I'm on my kindle right now so I'm not sure how long this chapter will be. Bear with me xD

I stare at Tobias as he sleeps, his eyes fluttering and his lips turned upward. He must be having some sort of good dream. I wonder if he's imagining our wedding.

The hours tick by with no sleep, but that's okay. I'm content to just watch him lying here, curled up in the same bed as him, breathing the sane air as him. Maybe our lives aren't perfect. And maybe we'll never actually be okay. But here, in this moment, I don't feel anything but secure.

"Good morning, Tobias," I say with a smile as he rubs his eyes. I eye his wrist. "Think we can unwrap our tattoos yet?"

"No," he replies, his voice thick with sleep. "But I'm going to anyways."

I smile. "Me too."

Tobias peels his bandage off, and though the skin around the tattoo is still pinkish, it looks great.

He peels my bandage off, too, smiling at it. "Look at us," he says with a chuckle. "Four and Six."

"Yeah," I sigh. "We should do things like this more often."

"Okay," Tobias says in a mocking tone. "Lets get our bellybuttons pierced next."

I laugh. "That's not what I meant," I say quickly. "We need to spend more time together."

And we smile.

And we laugh.
