Who is ready for Allegiant to come out! Sorry for the wait, hopefully this chapter makes up for it. *Lots of fluff* I don't own any of these characters, all rights go to Veronica Roth. Enjoy :)
*Tris's POV*
Beep, beep, beep. I slowly open my eyes. The annoying ear-splitting sound from my alarm clock fills my ears. Christina lets out a long moan, finally giving me the motivation to move my heavy arm. I slap the alarm quiet, before turning on my side. I snuggle deep under my covers, trying to remember why I set my alarm. I think of being wrapped in Tobias's warm embrace, as I drift back to sleep. I eyes pop open. After cursing slightly under my breath, I throw the covers off of me. I can't be late for my secret meeting with Tobias. I dash to my dresser, picking out some jeans. I head to the bathroom, the sudden light burning my eyes. Once I regain my vision I brush my teeth, and flatten my hair. While letting out a long sigh, I exist my dorm room. I rub my tired eyes, and run my figures through my hair, as I walk down the long hallways. I make my way to the front lobby, but before I can make it out the front doors a security guard stops me.
"Where do you think you're going?" he questions.
"I have a meeting with Four," I stair sharply into his eyes, "Its secret, so I expect you not to say a word to anyone." I put emphasis on anyone, making sure to put my point across. I exit the building leaving the security guard in a helpless state. I head to the roof of the building, and peer down the glass dome, staring deep into the chasm. A group of stupid teenagers play around the edge, threatening to push each other off. I frown at their behavior, unsettling thoughts about my near death experience there. I hear a soft crunch of footsteps behind me, and turn to see Tobias walking towards me.
"Are you cold?" He carefully asks me.
"No," I reply. It's a bit chilly, but I'm not one to admit what I'm thinking. He sits down next to me, and pulls out and extra jacket from his backpack. He wraps the extra clothing around me.
"I knew what you were thinking," He smirks.
"Thanks," I mumble. Tobias swings his arm around me, and I rest my head against his shoulder. "Why did you want to meet here?" Tobias looks away, using his free hand to scratch the back of his next. Through the darkness I can see a faint tint of redness circling his cheeks. I raise one eyebrow, and turn my body to look him in the eyes.
"Well…," He trails off.
"Go on I reassure him," I reassure him, "We've had many rough fights, what could be so hard to say?"
"I was thinking about how you almost died," He stops suddenly, trying to form the words. I kiss him softly on the cheek, before giving him an encouraging look.
"I almost lost you, and after the grieving, I was so mad at you for leaving. It took a long time to get over that anger."
"I'm sorry for leaving you," I apologize, "But I couldn't let Caleb die for me, we both know he had no chance."
"Yes you could," Tobias's voice growing louder, "Tris, he tried to kill you, he should have died in there instead of you going in."
"He's my brother, and as much as I tried to forget he ever existed, I still loved the boy he used to be, and I couldn't ignore that love," I scowl, "Besides I'm alive, and neither one of us is dead, so why bring it up." But I know why he brought it up. We both have unresolved feelings about the situation, that we needed to talk about. I look away from him, tears threatening to spill from my eyes.
"Tris, this isn't what I wanted to talk with you tonight," Tobias whispers. My face softens as I look at him. "What I was trying to get to is… I was mad, but then all I felt was regret. There is so much more I want to experience with you. I have a whole life planned out for us. Soon it will be time for us both to settle down, and when we do I want you there with me." He pauses for a moment, and reaches into his pocket. He pulls out a simple ring, decorated with a small gemstone. The ring catches the moonlight as he holds it up, "Will you marry me?"
I don't answer, only stare at the beautiful ring. I always knew this would come eventually, but I didn't think this soon. I look up at Tobias, and watch his smile melt into fear. I keep staring at him, my eyes moving from his dark blue eyes, to the small scar on his chin, to his hooked nose, then finally to his spare upper lip and full lower lip. I study his face the face I've grown to love. I do love him. I look back at his lips, and lean forward to slightly brush them against mine. I absorb the warmth of his lips, while neither of us move for a while.
I smile before whispering, "Yes," against his lips. Tobias presses his palm to my cheek, wrapping his figure behind my ear. He kisses me hard, and I kiss him back. Something snaps in both of us. Kisses become more desperate, both of us needing more. We both rise for air, and as we do I give Tobias a pleading look, so we both head back down to his dorm. The minute the door closes behind us, lips press against lips, as hands roam over skin. I grab the hem of Tobias's shirt, and swiftly pull it over his head. Once the shirt is discarded on the floor, Tobias connects his lips to my neck, leaving a trail of soft kisses towards my collar bone. I run my figures over his tattoos, as he kisses each raven slowly. I step back from him grabbing the hem of my own shirt. I slowly pull it off, as I think to myself, be brave Tris.
Too soon? I wasn't quite sure if I wanted to do that or not. Please comment if I need to change anything, thanks for any feedback! :)
