Title: I'm Ready Rating: G Summary: Written for the 31_days challenge. Prompt: #6 - Perhaps it's because it's not sad enough. Theme: Tris.
“Tris, you’re being ridiculous!” Kirel glares at her.
She scowls and glares back at him. “No, I’m not. I’m being serious, and practical and –“
“But I don’t think you are,” he interrupts her, eyes flashing angrily. “Give me one good reason. One reason why we can’t work this out.”
Never before has she felt so infuriated with someone as she does in this moment. She opens her mouth to speak, to come back with a tart reply, but finds she can’t think of an excuse. Not that it would be an excuse, she tells herself. There are practically sound reasons.
Kirel waits patiently, eyes never leaving hers. When she purses her lips, he nods. “There’s no reason for us to end this, Tris.” His voice turns softer, and she feels her resolve slipping away. “You’ve been through a lot of difficult things in your life, I know that, but don’t you think you deserve to be happy, just this once?”
When she doesn’t answer, can’t bring herself to admit to it, he leans down to kiss her cheek before turning and leaving. She looks at the floor, twisting her hands nervously, before looking up with new determination in her eyes. He has only reached the gate when she catches up to him.

I love this. I especially love the fact that there are "practically sound reasons" and yet she still can't think of any. And that it's Tris/Kirel.
