Fours Confession

Revelation

Tobias P.O.V

I wake up feeling extremely exposed for some odd reason. Then I remember last night. I revealed my past, my fears and my name, all in one night of 'Candor or Dauntless'. I turn my head and see Tris lying peacefully next to me. I place a gentle kiss on her forehead and her eyes flutter open. She smiles when she sees me, she reaches up and pulls my head down to hers. She kisses me softly on the lips. If I only I could wake up every morning like that. I pull away and say ",Hungry?"

She jumps out if bed so suddenly I lean back and collapse on the floor in a pile of blankets. " Looks like Four isn't so skilled anymore" Tris says giggling. I groan, I landed on my side where I bruise was already forming. " That hurt!" I defend giving a little pout just for effect. She giggles some more and says " Come on, I want food! And as your girlfriend, I demand food from you!"

" Feisty now aren't we" I reply, getting off the floor. I take her hand and we start off to the cafeteria. Once we get there I grad two plates of pancakes and go to our usual table where Tris is already sitting, chatting with all our friends. "Hey" I say as I sit down in between Tris and Zeke. Zeke gives me a pat on the back and Shauna gives me a small smile. Everyone at our table goes silent instantly. " Why did everyone get quiet" Tris asks. After Christina clears her throat nervously she replies " We weren't sure about last night. You revealed so much and we weren't sure how to act. Should we still call you 'Four' or 'Tobias'?" She cowers back slightly and Will puts an arm around her comfortably. They think I'm going to hurt them. Am I really that sadistic that people would think I would hurt them, especially my friends? They didn't do anything wrong! " I'm not going to hurt you-" Christina sighs relieved. I continue " Call me 'Four', especially in public. I only like Tris calling me 'Tobias'. I'm still the same person I was before I told you my past so I don't expect you to treat me any different. At least you're not looking at me with pity, which is what I expected."

" Man, we don't pity you. I think we all have a new found respect for you. Going through all that and coming first in dauntless initiation is legendary." Uriah says epically, as he would put it. Everyone nods agreeing with what he said. " This is getting depressing. How about a game of 'Candor or Dauntless'?" Zeke says excitingly. I nod my head and say " Sure, why not?" Everyone gets up and we all head to Zeke's apartment.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We are all sitting in a circle in the middle of Zeke's living room ready to play. " Who's going first? No takers? I guess Ill go first since I'm providing the venue." He says the last part in a faux British accent. " Tris, Candor or Dauntless?" She hesitates then says "Candor" Uriah jumps up and screams "PANSYCAKE" pointing an accusing finger at her. " Stop it, Uri! What are you, twelve?" Lynn says "And a half" he replies with a triumphant smirk. Lynn gets up, grabs a pillow and smacks Uriah upside the head with it. " How do you make a pillow hurt?!" Uriah says, mock disbelief present in his voice. "With my exceptional strength" she says with a smirk dancing across her lips. " Alright back to the game" Zeke says. " okay, Tris, are you a virgin?" If I had water in my mouth I probably would have spit it out right now. Why would he ask her that?

"Uhh-umm" She stutters while her face turns red as a tomato. I think it's cute honestly. She buries her head in her hands and answers

"Yes, I'm still a virgin" " Okay... Christina, Candor or Dauntless?" A few more rounds go by. People lose clothing, I'm only in my boxers now. I'm hoping this game ends soon. So I don't get called on again. Of course, with my luck, Marlene asks me. "Candor or Dauntless, Four?"

" Dare" I say without hesitation. She grins. " I dare you to let us watch while you go thru your fear landscape" I freeze. They'll see all my fears, which is only four, but still. That's completely exposing my head to other people besides Tris. I'm only in my boxers though. I don't want to look like a wuss in front of my friends either. I guess I'm going into my fear landscape tonight.
