TRIS

We make it back to the house a few hours later and I am freezing. It had started snowing about an hour after the proposal and it had made it down my sweater and my tank top underneath is now wet and clinging to my body. I hadn't known where we were going so I'm not sure if Tobias planned on staying out so late, but I should have at least brought a thicker jacket. We get through the door and Tobias turns on the lights before turning to me and I reach up to brush the snow out of his hair. He grins down at me before doing the same to my own head. I wrinkle my nose at him and he kisses my cheek before he heads to turn on the heat while I go upstairs to the bathroom. I turn on the shower and pull the wet sweater over my head and shiver as the cold of the house reacts with my wet tank top. I tossed the jacket aside and quickly get rid of the rest of my clothes before getting into the shower and stand under the warm stream of water. A few moments later, the curtain moves aside and Tobias comes in behind me.

"Save some of that for me," he says and I laugh. I move so that we're both standing under the water and I rest my head against his chest with his arms around my lower back. Het sets his head on mine and I let out a sigh of relief. It was a long day. First he left on his "errand", which included talking to his mother, which I don't even want to think about, and then I had worried about him and where he was or what he was doing. Granted, I had slept for most of it, and that was probably because parts of my body were still healing. Trying to keep up with Tobias by running after the train had been difficult, but it was fun. It is how I am. I feel fine during certain parts of the day, and other times, I felt like I was back in the Pit with Peter kicking my ass. It did not feel pleasant. "So…what do you think? Was it worth it?"

I smile, but don't say anything; I keep my head resting on his chest, mulling the words over on my tongue. I want to make him antsy. "Well, I have to think about that," I say. "Because it did start snowing and I got wet." He chuckles and I feel it vibrate through his chest. "It was actually…kind of perfect."

"So I did okay?"

I lift my head and look up at him. "I can't imagine a better way for that to have gone."

"I should have done it when it was warmer."

I shake my head. I don't think that I could have waited for him to wait until the snow starts to melt. I'm not even sure when we will be getting married…but the being engaged thing…it feels pretty amazing.. "No…" I tell him. "Tonight was great, I promise."

"Alright, fine," he says with a smirk. I stand on my toes and kiss him softly. When I'm back down on my feet, I reach around him to turn the water off. His arms are still around me, so I have to fight him to pull them off of me so that I can get out of the tub. When I get out, I stand in the cold air, and I shiver at the change in temperature. Although the heat has started to spread through the house, the air still makes the hair on my arm stand on end.

"Ugh, cold," I say grabbing a towel and wrapping it around myself before throwing one at Tobias. He isn't looking so it hits him in the face and I can't myself from laughing. He shakes his head at me.

"You're gonna regret that," he says. I stare at him, frozen for a second before I take off running. I hear him coming down the hall after me, but his legs are longer than my own and before I am able to make it through the bedroom, his arms are around me and I am screaming as he carries me to the bed.

"What are you doing?" I ask , my voice coming out in giggles as his fingers are all over my body. "You're getting the bed wet!" He doesn't answer, just keeps tickling me as I squirm beneath him. He keeps it going for a few more moments, before he collapses on the bed next to me. I am breathless and my chest is rising and falling as I try to catch my breath. When I finally do, I turn to look at him. "You're a jerk."

He turns to look at me and gives me that side smile of his. "You don't mean that," he tells me. I shake my head and move across the bed toward him. I hook one leg over him and lean down to kiss him softly. His hands come up and one locks behind my neck, holding me in place against him. I let out a sigh as I part my lips to deepen the kiss. He groans and tugs me on top of him. With my legs on either side of him, I lean in close, my tongue brushing against his and my hands gripping the pillow below him. I break the kiss by tugging on his lower lip and I look down at him. "You're trying to drive me up the wall, aren't you?" he asks, his hands coming around my back and holding me close."

I grin. "Maybe just a little."

"Well if that's the case then you're definitely succeeding," Tobias says before pulling me in for another kiss. After about a minute, he pushes me off of him and gets up to grab a shirt from the bag before tossing it over at me. I pull it on as I watch as he pulls his shorts on before coming to join me back in bed.

"You're not even going to change the sheets?" I ask him "You want to sleep on wet sheets?"

He glares at me. "Hush," he says. But then he gets up again and leaves the room before coming back with new sheets. I grin and get off of the bed tossing the pillows onto the floor as I strip the bed. We begin stretching the sheet over the bed and he looks across at me as I fit it over one corner of the bed. "I think we should go back to the Bureau tomorrow," he says.

"Tomorrow?" I ask. Part of me wants to stay and continue living this perfect little life that I've created with Tobias. But our lives didn't stop going after we showed up here. Our lives were still waiting for us back at the Bureau. I nod as I put a new pillowcase on one of the pillows. I sit down on the bed and hold the pillow to my chest. "Tomorrow sounds good," I reply.

"Are you sure?" he asks me.

"We'll we're going to have to go back soon," I tell him. "We didn't exactly tell anyone where we were going. They're not going to be very happy about the way we just left."

He groans and shakes his head. "That's going to be awful," he says. He bites his lower lip. "Maybe we can put it off another day?"

I shake my head. "No," I tell him. "Tomorrow or we'll just keep putting it off."

He nods and gets into bed. He kisses my cheek and I place my pillow down before lying down next to him. He wraps his arm around me and pulls me into his chest. I close my eyes. "Love you," I murmur against his chest sleepily.

"Love you more."
