And even though it seems impossible that he could feel something for me,given all that I'm not...maybe it isn't.I frown at him. \"You've been paying close attention,haven't you?\" \"I like to observe people.\" \"Maybe you were cut out for Candor, Four, because you're a terrible liar.\" He puts his hand on the rock next to him, his fingers lining up with mine. I look down at our hands. He has long, narrow fingers. Hands made for mine, deft movements.Not Dauntless hands, which should be thick and tough and ready to break things. \"Fine.\" He leans his face closer to mine, his eyes focusing on my chin, and my lips,and my nose. \"I watched you because I like you.\" He says it plainly, boldly, and his eyes flick up to mine. \"And don't call me 'Four,\" okay? It's nice to hear my name again.\" Just like that,he has finally declared himself, and I don't know how to respond. My cheeks warm,and all I can think to say is, \"But you're older than I am... Tobias. \" He smiles at me. \"Yes,that whopping two-year gap really is insurmountable , isn't it?\" \"I'm not trying to be self-deprecating,\" I say, \"I just don't get it. I'm younger. I'm not pretty.I-\" He laughs,a deep laugh that sounds like it came from deep inside him, and touches his lips to my temple. \"Don't pretend,\" I say breathily. \"You know I'm not. I'm not ugly,but I am certainly not pretty.\" \"Fine.You're not pretty.So?\" He kisses my cheek. \"I like how you look. You're deadly smart.You're brave. And even though you found out about Marcus...\" His voice softens. \"You aren't giving me that look.Like I'm a kicked puppy or something.\" \"Well,\" I say. \"You're not.\" For a second his dark eyes are on mine, and he's quiet. Then he touches my face and leans in close, brushing my lips with his.The river roars and I feel its spray on my ankles.He grins and presses his mouth to mine. I tense up at first,unsure of myself, so when he pulls away,I'm sure I did something wrong,or badly.But he takes my face in his hands,his figners strong against my skin,and kisses me again, firmer this time, more certain. I wrap an arm around him,sliding my hand up his nack and into his short hair. For a few minutes we kiss,deep in the chasm,with the roar of water all around us.
