20//"i want to be brave"

[tobias' pov]

I come into our fourth lesson and feel something different. Almost like there's something new in the air.

I have felt pretty good about teaching Tris so far, so maybe she has been feeling similarly towards me.

I mentally prepare myself for a few moments until I see Tris come into the training room.

We eye each other and I make a move towards one of the punching bags , reaching up to re-adjust it.

I can feel Tris's eyes on my back and feel suddenly self-conscious of my faction tattoos.

I try to avoid it and ask her,"What do you want to start with?"

Immediately after, she asks me,"What's on your back?"

I sigh and know that I would have to eventually tell her.

I have been so drawn to Tris Prior since I've met her, and I have been so glad for this opportunity to get closer with her that I can't hold myself back and say,"Do you want to see it?"

"Sure," she answers.

I turn around and pull my shirt off for Tris to see.

And then I tell her something that I've been wanting to tell somebody my whole entire life.

"I don't want to be just one thing. I can't be. I want to be brave, and I want to be selfless, intelligent, honest, and kind."

I hear her gasp and say,"It's amazing."

I turn around to face her again and I lean in and kiss Tris on the lips.
