TRIS' POV:
I can't explain what I'm feeling right now. It is a mixture of joy and contentment. I may have lost my parents and my brother may have turned his back against me by becoming a traitor but at least, I have Tobias beside me, keeping me whole and happy.
"I'll be your family now." As his words kept on repeating on my mind, I can't help but smile, because I know that wherever life may take me, I will never be alone.
"Tris, let's go down now. I have something to show you." Tobias says, as he stands up and offered his hand for me to take.
Taking his hand, I say, "Okay then. Let's go." So, he started to climb down and I quickly trailed after him.
"Where are we going, Tobias?" I shout over the wind, so he can hear what I'm asking.
"It's for you to find out!" Tobias shouts back at me shakily, his fear taking over.
As I reached the ground, I went over to Tobias to check if he's okay. "Hey, you okay?"
"Perfect." He smiles, not wanting me to worry more for him. "Let's go."
I hold his hand, as we walk further through the forest, towards "to what he wants to show me". I don't know why but, I feel butterflies in my stomach. What does Tobias wants to show me? What if there's something wrong? What if a war is about to start again? No. Stop Tris. You're being too paranoid. Tobias will never hurt you nor lead you to danger, because he loves you. And you know that, right?
"Sweetheart, we're nearly there." Tobias grins at me, looping his arm around my shoulders. "And you have to close your eyes now."
"But do I really have to?" Looking up to him as I pout.
"Yes, you have to. Don't worry I'll guide you." He answers, still grinning.
Finally, we reached the heart of the forest, wherein most of the flowers grow abundantly. Flowers of numerous colors greeted my eyes, and fragrant air filled my nose.
"Surprise."
"How beautiful!" was the first thing that came out of my mouth, as I looked around.
"I knew you would like it." Tobias said.
"Thank you for bringing me here. I loved it." I tell Tobias as I threw my arms around him. He then cupped my face and kissed me on the lips.
"You're welcome." He smiles, as we settled for a hug.
TOBIAS' POV:
I knew that she would love it here. I want to make Tris happy, just like how she makes me happy and complete.
"Tobias, how did you found this place?" she asks me.
"Actually, I found this 2 days ago, when I decided to relax a bit. You weren't with me that time, because you were with Christina, visiting her family back at Candor. And as soon as I saw these flowers, it reminded me of you, of how you would love to see this place. So, I decided to bring you here. It's relaxing and beautiful, isn't it?" I tell her.
"It's breathtaking." She answers me. "And it's really beautiful."
"I'm glad that you liked it." I grinned at her. "But don't worry, you're more beautiful."
She shoots me a look, and then said, "You know that I'm not."
Putting on a serious face, I retorted, "Yes, you are."
"No, I'm-" I cut her off with a kiss and seconds later, she's kissing me back.
Then pulling away, I tell her, " Tris, you're beautiful, even if you don't want to accept it, because you know, beauty is not only defined by what you look on the outside, but by what you are as a person, both inside and out. And believe me when I say that you're beautiful, because that's true. You're a true person. You're smart, selfless, and brave, and that's what makes you beautiful." I finished off with a grin.
She's blushing and smiling as she holds my gaze for a while and then leans in to give me a kiss on the tip of my nose. "Thank you, Tobias."
Moments like this between me and Tris are really precious and I want to keep them treasured and safe with me.
"Oh, I almost forgot… I brought lunch for us, so we can eat before we go back to Dauntless." I tell Tris, as she rests her head on my lap.
"Great. You're really brilliant, Tobias." She smiles at me.
"Thanks." I smiled back and kissed her forehead. "Let's eat now."
After we finished eating, Tris went back on resting her head on my lap and me lazily stroking her hair. And I remembered that I have one more gift to give her, another thing to make this moment more special.
"Tris, I have something for you." I whispered to her.
I slowly take it out from my pocket. A locket, containing our pictures together, with 4 & 6 engraved on it. I want her to wear this locket to always remind her of our love for each other.
And as I place it in her neck, I tell her, "I love you Tris."
TRIS' POV:
Tobias gave me a beautiful locket. With 4 & 6 engraved on it, and as I saw our pictures inside, I suddenly felt sheer happiness bursting inside me. He gave me a locket as a reminder of our love. Oh, Tobias.
"I love you too, Tobias. Thank you." I turned to face him, smiling like there's no tomorrow.
Beaming at me, he said, "You're welcome, Tris. I also want to thank you, for coming into my life."
I never thought I would be this happy, I just wish that my parents are still here so that I can introduce Tobias to them. But I know that wherever they are, they're happy for me.
Done! Thanks for reading! Please review and tell me what you think about this story. =)
