A/N; Sorry it's been so long...
Will and I have become used to surviving on just a few hours sleep a night now, and we always talk until the early hours of the morning. One time, he asks the question I've been dreading for months.
"Chris... a few weeks ago you said that we're both pretty messed up. What did you mean?" he asks, trying to keep his voice casual.
"... I was never able to fit in in Candor," the truth comes out before I can stop it, as always. "I mean... I was sick of telling the truth all the time, and I was always told by my parents and by the people that knew me that I would never be a true Candor. I just hated it... like you say you hated Erudite. And for some reason..." I'm in tears by this point, and Will's slid an arm around me and pulled me towards him, "I thought Dauntless would be better. I was so stupid... I don't fit in anywhere, Will. I wasn't honest enough for Candor. I'm not brave enough for Dauntless. I'm not smart. I'm not kind or peaceful or selfless... I'm nothing."
"Love, don't say that. You're not 'nothing'. In fact, you're everything... to me, at least. And you are all of those things. I know you are."
I'm too choked up to reply, so I just move closer to him and bury my head in his shoulder. His arms tighten around me, and we're silent until I finally find myself able to speak again.
"I'm not. I'm not good enough. I still don't get why you bothered saving me in the first place."
"Christina..." Will sighs, and kisses the top of my head. "How many times do I have to tell you? I saved you. I saved you because I wanted to. I'd save you if I had to go through that again. I'll always save you. And I'll always love you, okay?"
I nod with a gentle sigh, and then I force myself to look up at him.
"I love you too. You do know that, right?"
"Hm, I should hope so." he says with a light laugh. I laugh too, the kind of laugh only he can draw from me; he's always so good at making me feel better about myself. "Christina... you're beautiful, you know that?"
"I'm not, Will-"
"Hey, what have I told you about putting yourself down? You're the most beautiful person I've ever known. Not just on the outside. I mean... I could look at you forever."
"You wouldn't want to."
"Want a bet?"
He leans forward and presses his lips to mine, wrapping his spare arm around my waist. I bring my arms up to his neck, and I kiss him back, smiling gently. "I love you so much, Christina," Will tells me, barely pulling away. "I want you to remember that, no matter what happens. I love you."
"I love you too."
"But I love you more." he chuckles, kissing my forehead gently.
"No, you don't."
"And you know this how?"
"Because that's not possible."
"Well, it must be."
"Has anyone ever told you, Will, how impossible you are?" I ask him, with a smile spreading across my lips and a laugh escaping from me.
"No... but, hey, you learn something new every day, right?"
"And this is what I get for falling in love with someone who was once Erudite."
"And this is what I get for falling in love with someone who was once Candor."
We fall silent, and I get lost in his eyes for a moment. His wonderful green eyes, full of such emotion and love that I can feel it just by looking at him.
"We're such an unlikely couple, aren't we?" I say, shaking my head and laughing again.
"Who cares?"
"Not me."
"Hm, I should think so too." He kisses me again, and them strokes my hair gently. "You feel better?"
"Now, thanks to you."
"I'll always be here to make you feel better."
"Promise?"
"Promise."
