Right? --A Fourtris/Tris Pedrad Story

Chapter 33

Tris
I grab his hand and lead him towards my room. I sit down on my bed and he sits next to me.

"Can you stay?" I ask quietly. He's only stayed once and I have some of his clothes here. He keeps some of my stuff at his place and I keep some of his at mine.

"I would love to, " he replies with a smile. He holds my hand as he grabs a pillow and drops to the floor. I shake my head. "With me, " I say, patting the bed. His face goes from happy to confused, to shock. We've never actually slept in the same bed.

"Are you sure? I don't want to make you uncomfortable." I shrug. "I have to get over it sooner or later, " I reply shyly, keeping my head down. "And I want to get over it with you, " I add, my cheeks getting pink.

He lifts his hands to tilt my chin up. "Okay," he says and sits next to me on the bed. I go to my closet and grab some of his clothes. I throw them at him along with my spare key. "What's this?" He asks, picking up the metal ring it's attached to. "Figured you should be able to get in here, " I say meekly. "Thanks," he says with a smile.

I go and change into a tank top and shorts before entering the room to him slipping the shirt over his head. I catch myself looking at him and he chuckles. "Take a picture, it'll last longer." My cheeks turn bright red as I sit down on the bed. He sits next to me in just his sweatpants. "Is this okay?" He asks and I nod.

He lies down on the right side while I take the left. Tobias pulls the cover over both of us and intertwines his hand with mine. I move so I'm facing him. "I love you, " he whispers, turning to face me too. I put my head on the crook of his arm and he pulls me closer. "I love you too, " I reply and close my eyes.
The next night...
Tobias and I head back to his apartment to hang out while we wait for the time of capture the flag to approach. "Cake, " he offers, taking a couple of pieces from the cabinet. I nod and he slides me one with a fork in the plate.

"Thanks," I say, placing a bite into my mouth. I haven't told him about the situation after initiation.

I have to go on a trip to another faction for a couple of days, candor to be exact, a week after initiation ends. Nobody knows except Max and I. That is something he should know.

"Can I tell you something, Tobias?" I see him visibly tense as he looks to me with a nervous expression. "What did I do?" He mutters. "Nothing, " I reply with a small laugh. He lets out a deep breath along with a chuckle. "I have to go on a trip to candor a week after initiation. I'll be there for a couple of days, " I say, stabbing the cake's frosting with the prongs of my fork.

He looks kinda sad, but shrugs. "Then can I ask you something?" He asks, appearing to be a little bit nervous. I nod. Did I do something? I don't think so. "I know this is kinda soon, but will you move in with me?"

He wants to move in with me?! Why? I didn't even think he would take interest in me for this long. I'm just some stupid, flat girl.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked, " he says, rubbing the back of his neck. "No. It's quite alright. The answer is yes, " I reply. He looks from his knees back up to me. "Yes?" He asks and I nod. A smile crosses Tobias' gentle face, his deep blue eyes gazing into mine.

"Zeke will probably hate me, " he laughs. "Nah. He moved in with Shauna after a month, so he shouldn't have a problem, " I retort with a laugh. "I guess you're right. But when are you not?" I smile. My cheeks turn slightly red from the compliment. If he laughs, I swear to god I will punch him. Just my luck, he laughs. I glare at him. "Why do you find that so funny all the damn time?" He laughs again, shaking his head and filling his mouth with cake. I shove him to the side and he falls against the fridge.
