Hawk Dauntless

I work out

"Do I ever go easy on you?"  He asked with an arched eyebrow. 

I work out

Anybody for some BASE jumping?!

Anybody for some BASE jumping?!

  Roni watched as Hawk jumped off the building, her eyes wide, watching taking it all in. Hawk just jumped off a building. If she had been still in Amity, she’s call it suicidal. Yet now in Dauntless, she was standing as someone helped strap her into a harness of her own. “Your go Roni.” One of the Dauntless helpers said, nodding, Roni didn’t bother going to peer over the edge like Hawk had done. She just ran and jumped. It felt like flying, feeling so weightless. Air rushed past her and she finally pulled on the cord to release the chute. As the parachute deployed, Roni was lifted high again for a moment before her descent to the ground slowed. This was where she belonged. Doing stuff like this. She’d chosen right. She hit the edge of the marked X and sat laughing on the ground, her eyes looking to Hawk. “Let’s do that again .”

Hawk smiled brightly and sat down next to her on the ground.  He wrapped an arm around Roni's back and hugged her, kissing the top of her head.  "You are so amazing.  You amaze me every single day."  He grinned at her and helped her pack up her parachute again.  "If you want to do it again, then we're doing it again."  He cupped her face and kissed her deeply.  It was the first time they kissed in front of a bunch of people.  

  The feeling of his arms around her still managed to cause little butterflies in her stomach and she hugged his arms tightly. Roni seriously wasn’t sure how she had gotten so lucky, how he could possibly want her back, but if it was a dream, she never wanted to wake up, “I’m just scared like what if I tell them about me and they don’t want me? I’m in Dauntless now, I will have to live my whole life there seeing them and knowing they rejected me. I won’t let it stop me for trying though. You’d come with me if I ever confronted them? You’ll be by my side?” She asked softly, but her words weren’t laced with fear, she knew she could be strong, but it didn’t mean she couldn’t be nervous, she could be both, she felt herself tearing up at his sweet words and she didn’t trust her voice and she nodded mutely at the mention of jumping together. It would be so much fun.

"I promise that I will be right by your side when you go to tell them.  You're strong, Roni.  And just like the fears, you're going to overcome this fear that they'll reject you.  And if they're douchebags and reject you, then you'll go about your life, because they're not going to stop you from being happy and being dauntless."  He kissed her cheek.  "Come on.. let's go jump off of a building."

"Duly noted." She laughed shaking her head at Hawk, it was sweet he cared about her that much and she felt herself falling for him even more than she already had. He had made her feel so much better about it all and she didn’t know what should would have done if he hadn’t turned up and made her feel so much more at ease. She felt the change in his body against hers as she mentioned his parents being proud of him. She cursed herself softly for upsetting him, she didn’t even need to turn around to know that, and she rubbed his thighs again softly. "They really would have Hawk. You’re Dauntless, top five, you were so great the way you handled everything with Amber and you were the bigger person and apologised to Icarus. You’re amazing." she told him honestly, at him saying her family would be proud, she smiled a little. "You really think so? I hope so, I just hope when my real dad finds out about me, I’m not a disappointment." she blushed at his compliment and looked down at her hands. "It’s what I feel, I don’t feel strong right now. I’m not the strongest in our initiate class. You are and Scarlett and Peter and Tris. I just try keep up." Roni  took a bite of the toffee apple and wondered why she was never introduced to sugar like that in Amity. It was delicious. "Base jumping. That’s the parachute thing right?" Roni asked remembering coming to the festival as a kid and watching all the Dauntless members with huge parachutes. She’d love to give it a go, and despite not being scare of heights, she still felt nervous at the idea, but in a good way.

Hawk hugged Roni tightly, his chest pressed against her back and he took a deep calming breath, taking in the scent of Roni.  It was so comforting to have her in his arms like this.  She was so tiny and yet so amazing to him.  "Oh Roni.  I can't imagine anybody not being proud of you.  You've come so far.  Don't worry about anybody else in our initiate class, you just worry about yourself.  Because you are strong and amazing.  It may not feel like it now, but it will.  Specially the next time the scores go up and you're once again on top of the list.  I'm proud of you.  And you should be proud of yourself."  He kissed the top of her head.  "BASE jumping is the thing with the parachute.  It's great fun, you should definitely try it.  We can jump together."
