Hello everyone! This is my first fanfiction for Divergent, so I'm really excited! Oh, and this takes place the morning after Tris goes through Tobias' fear landscape. :)


The next morning after going through Four's fear landscape, I feel silly and light.

"Why are you so happy all of a sudden?" Christina asks, looking at me strangely.

"Oh you know, sun's shining, birds chirping," I reply. She raises an eyebrow, as if to remind me that we are in an underground pit, but I don't care.

"Okay..."

I slowly feel my mood worsening as I scan the room for Tobias. Where is he?

At the end of breakfast, he still hasn't shown up, and I'm feeling a mix of emotions; worry, curiosity, and maybe even a touch of jealousy for some reason. I frown as I scan the room one more time, even though I'm sure he isn't here.

"Wow, looks like someone had a mood swing," Will jokes. "Come on, let's go."

We all walk down the hallway to the rooms for the fear landscapes. Uriah trails behind us, joining in on our conversation every once in a while.

"So today's fear landscape day," I say. "Do we go through our own?"

"Nah, you go through one of the instructor's fear landscapes on the first day," Uriah replies. "Who's do you think it's going to be?"

"I hope it's Four's," Christina says.

"Why?" I ask.

"Because he's so tough, he's probably scared of bunnies and marshmallows and sunny days," she answers, laughing. I bite my lip and remember his fear landscape from last night.

"It won't be him." I tell her. There's no way he would show all of the initiates his fear landscape.

We all walk into the room, and guess what? Four isn't there. Where in the world could he be?

"Tris," Eric calls out, a smirk on his face. I look up and make eye contact. "Will you go find Four? It isn't like him to be late."

I nod and get up, curiosity getting the better of me. Eric is right about one thing: it isn't like Four to be late to things. I start walking down to the pit, then I realize that if he didn't show up for breakfast, he most likely won't be in the Pit now. With that in mind, I go up to his small apartment, the place he took me when Peter, Drew, and Al attacked me. I knock on the door timidly and there's no response. I knock again, harder this time, and then I hear his voice.

"Come in," comes the drained reply. I open the door to find Tobias sprawled out on the bed with his eyes closed. He opens them a crack and a weak smile spreads across his face.

"Oh, hi Tris. Nice to see you." He says.

"Where have you been?" I ask. "Are you okay?"

"Oh yeah. Yeah, I'm fine." He says. I frown.

"You don't look fine..." I frown deeper, inspecting him. "Why weren't you at breakfast today, or fear landscapes? Eric sent me to go and get you."

At that, Tobias jerks up. "Wait, today's fear landscape day? I missed breakfast? What time is it?"

I glance at my watch. "It's eight forty five." I tell him. "Are you okay, or should I go tell Eric and Lauren that you're not going to make it today?"

Tobias rolls over and lets out a few coughs. I frown again and put a hand on his forehead. My frown deepens as I feel feverish heat on my palm.

"Tobias, I think you're sick. I'm going to go tell them that you can't-" he cuts me off.

"Wait, don't leave me." Tobias pleads.

"I won't be gone for long, and I'll come straight back, okay?" I tell him.

"Alright. Hurry back."

"I will." I smile at him, even though I know he's already closed his eyes. I slip out the door and walk down the hallway of the Dauntless compound when I run into Marlene.

"Hey, will you go tell one of the instructors that Tob- Four isn't going to make it today?" I ask.

"Sure," Marlene nods and starts to turn around.

"Wait!" I call after her. "Tell them that I'm not going to be there either."

I turn around and head back up to Tobias. When I open the door, he says, "nice to see you again, Tris."

I roll my eyes and sit down on the corner of his bed. "So," I ask awkwardly. "How are you feeling?"

"Hungry," is his reply. I hide a smile.

"Okay. What do you feel like eating?" I ask him, trying to remember how my mother took care of Caleb and I when we were sick in Abnegation.

"Dauntless cake." Tobias says. I can't help but burst out laughing.

"What?"

"Nothing," I answer, still grinning. "You just said exactly what I expected you to say. I'm going to go down to the Pit to get you your cake. Are you going to be okay?"

"Yeah, I'll be fine Tris." He answers. I give a half hearted smile as I walk out the door again. I walk down to the pit and go up to where the food line usually is.

"Can I help you?" A tattooed woman asks in a monotone voice.

"Umm, yes." I answer. "Is there any chance I could get some Dauntless cake?"

Wordlessly, the woman places a slice of the rich chocolate cake onto a plate and passes it over to me.

"Thank you," I say. She just nods and turns away.

I head up back to Tobias, this time with cake in hand. I let myself in and try to hide my smile as he brightens up when he sees me walk in. Or maybe it's the cake... Yeah, it's the cake. I hand the plate over to him with a warm smile and sit down on the corner of the bed.

A few minutes later, Tobias is fast asleep on the bed. I grab his covers and tuck him in, then I plant a kiss on his feverish forehead. I could be imagining it, but I see a faint smile on his lips.


So this was originally supposed to be a one-shot but if you want a second chapter I can certainly write it! So what did you think? Too long, too short, good, bad? Please review!
