Chapter 25: Four.

Warning: There will be immense swooning in this chapter. Oh. My. Goodness. Four is more attractive than ever when he's scared.

He goes to his fear landscape, and takes her with him. He knew she would follow, or he hoped she would follow.  He injects her, and she, him.
They go in. Four has four fears (no, really. it was so hard to figure out.).

Fear 1: Heights. He gets through this one because they do it together, she pulls him after her, and they fall off the building.

Fear 2: Confinement. They're in a small room, and they can barely move. (Oh, I would love to be that close to Four.) Tris decides they need to make the space smaller, to move on from that part. They wiggle so they mold together like puzzle pieces, and he ends up with his arms wrapped around her. She inadvertently told him he makes her heart race, but I think he was so freaked out that I don't think he noticed. He tells her about being confined in a closet upstairs as a child as punishment. When he laughs, they walls disappear.

Fear 3: Shooting the Woman. He has to shoot a woman, every time he goes through his simulation.

Fear 4: Marcus. Marcus from Abnegation is in his 4th fear. Why? Because Four is Tobias! Abnegation-born Tobias! Marcus has a belt, and starts beating Tobias. Tris steps between the belt and Tobias, and when Tris gets hit with it, Tobias gets pissed. He pushes Tris behind him, to protect her, and that ends the simulation.

I think with Tobias's fourth fear, we really see where he, also, is bravest when he's protecting someone. Namely, Tris. (Here's where the girly swooning comes in. Awhhhhh!)

When they get out, he's at a point of sweet vulnerability and he looks at Tris with awe in his eyes. He pulls her close and holds her tight.
"Hey," I say softly. "We got through it."
He lifts his head and slips his fingers through my hair, tucking it behind my ear. We stare at each other in silence. His fingers move absently over a lock of my hair. 
"You got me through it," he says finally.

Oh. My. Gosh. I want one! I want a Tobias of my own. He's so precious!
