Title: Live A Little, Live A Lot Rating: G Summary: They'll always be student and teacher, but perhaps it's finally time for something more. A/N: For Nat's Genie Thread request. Hope you like it! Title from The Rocket Summer's song Show Me Everything You've Got.
For Tris, the years had passed quickly; for Niko, not fast enough. She watched him as he sat down at the table, running his long fingers through greying hair. Despite the fact that she had graduated months ago, being around him made her feel like a young, stubborn girl all over again. Or maybe she still was one. "I hear you have a new student," she murmured, sipping her tea. The cup warmed her fingers, almost too hot. Niko smiled from underneath his moustache. "And I hear you've had a string of them." She had to laugh at that. Now that he said it, it did seem so unlike her. But maybe that was the old Tris. She set her tea down, watching the slow movement of his hand across the table towards hers. It was time for a change in the weather.

Oh, I love the Tris-Niko dynamic and how you portrayed both of them here. That last line is just perfect

I adore this. It's almost protective and guarded over the use of words, doling them out one at a time for maximum effect. Economical. Your look into Tris' head is lovely.

Oh I love the last line! So perfect for Tris/Niko, especially because I know they will have the patches of rough weather!
