Tris POV

I enter the ballroom with my arm wrapped in Tobias'. Though our heights are vastly different I still seem to fit perfectly to his form. We take our seats up front me next to my mother, and Tobias on my other side.

The ceremony starts and everyone around us gets quiet as my brother and father walk to the front of the room. My brother looks ashen, nervous. I wonder how I will look when it is my turn to wed. I wonder if Four will be nervous, or will he remain his stoic self never showing his true emotion to those around him, except me. I am positive I would be able to tell. The music changes and Cara being escorted by her father enters the ballroom and make their way towards Caleb. She is smiling, not a worry on her face, just a large smile and wide eyes of excitement. It makes me smile. When she reaches Caleb they take each other's hands and finish the short walk the rest of the way to the cardinal whom shall marry them. We have a few people who can marry those in the realms, but not many.

The ceremony is simple and sweet. Caleb and Cara recited the normal vows and rings. At the end they shared a small peck on each other's lips and a large blush in both their cheeks. I guess they have not kissed before, and it makes me wonder if I have been doing something wrong. I don't feel bad about kissing Tobias, I never could. I just shake off the feeling, I am to be Dauntless, it is how things work there, this is Abnegation and kissing is looked at differently. The crowd erupts in cheers as Caleb and Cara head towards the garden, hand in hand. I look around at everyone here, they are all happy and excited, well everyone except Peter. He looks bored and annoyed. Next to him Molly is trying to talk to him and he is ignoring her. I wonder if it would be better to forfeit one's title than marry Peter, but Molly will have to make her own choices.

Tobias POV

Weddings are so boring. Sure I am looking forward to my wedding day with Tris, but this is just another form of torture. The music is soft and makes me want to sleep. The cardinal's voice is monotone and slow. I feel like I want to take a nap which is insane since I woke up only five hours ago. I decide to clap when it is over with all the others attending, they seem to be cheering them on while I clap because it is over. I look at Tris she has a huge smile on her face, she lights up the room and I feel my heart skip a beat again.

Once Caleb and Cara are out of the ballroom everyone starts to get up and head to the garden for the reception, it will only last a few hours, just enough time for food, cake, and some light dancing/mingling. No one from other kingdoms spend the night other than Tris and I. We will leave tomorrow morning. As we are about to head out Tris' parents block our path.

"I just want to make sure that you two understand that there should be no trouble tonight." Tris' mother states, not angry but forceful enough to know she means it.

"Four, I know you will want to protect Beatrice from that vile boy Peter, but just walk away. I respect you enough to trust you to make the right decisions tonight." Andrew.

"Yes your majesties" I nod in respect.

"Well you two enjoy yourselves, just not too much." Her mother says with a wink? Why is she winking at that statement? I feel the back of my neck get warm and rub it slightly with my hand.

"You too mother, father."

With that Tris leads me away from her parents. At least Andrew respects me, which is a step in the right direction from yesterday. I doubt you can respect someone you despise so that is great, go me. I mentally high five myself.

The garden is immaculate. Large trees strung with thousands of tiny lights. Rose bushes are everywhere in every color making the air around us smell fresh and clean. Tris and her parents did a great job. We sit with the others from Dauntless as well as Christina, Will, and Lynn. Our conversations seem entertaining and it surprises me how much I get along with them, even Lynn. Maybe she just had to leave for me to understand her more, though I still don't talk to her directly or to anyone really other than Zeke and Tris. We all seem to get along. The food is alright, I miss the flavors I can get in dauntless, but it makes me wonder what we will be eating at the other weddings. The cake here is just depressing, it is like eating bread, I swallow the bite I took and put my fork down I see Zeke, Lynn and Uriah do the same, we share a knowing look and start to laugh.

"I never thought I would see you laugh or be so happy Four." Lynn states not out of malice but as a family member happy to see me enjoy myself for a change, she cares I guess.

"He has been like this since the day he met Tris here."

Zeke's words are true Tris has made me a better person, and I can never thank her enough for that. I look at her and see her brighten up enough to put a tomato to shame. Christina laughs at her than returns to her conversation with Marlene and Shauna about eye shadow or something, I roll my eyes.

Tris out of nowhere grabs my hand and drags me to my feet. I smile down at her and we both let out a small laugh of excitement, as she leads me to the dance floor. The music plays a simple waltz and we glide around as if our feet never even touch the ground. The rest of the wedding disappears and it is just her and I together. I lean down pressing my lips to her forehead as she smiles up at me it isn't a long kiss but it is full of longing.

As the reception winds down we say our farewells to our friends new and old and I embrace Lynn in a quick hug, still slightly awkward but it is nice none the less. Caleb and Cara leave to spend their first night of being married together, it is not expected to be completely intimate on your wedding night but it is not frowned upon either, it is up to the couple, but from the wedding night on they must share a bed together and have to strive for a child within the first five years of marriage.

Once we are back in Tris' room I start to remove my shirt and tie.

"Well we made it the whole night without another Peter problem." Tris says without smiling, I know Peter bothers her more than it should.

She really thinks he is behind all of our troubles, I thought it was the monster who killed my parents, but after meeting Marcus and talking to that man I realize he was honest when he said he would never do anything to hurt Tris. If it isn't Marcus and if it is not Peter who else could it be, at that point it could be anyone, and if I realize this than Tris does too which is most likely her reason for such focus on Peter, she would rather be wrong than looking over her back consistently. I can't say I blame her.

Tris POV

I lay down on my childhood bed for the last time, my head resting on Tobias' chest listening to the steady beat of his heart. I smile as I watch his chest rise and fall with slow even breaths. He is sleeping, his hand resting on my waist his other under his head. I should be sleeping right now instead I am thinking. Thinking about how my life was here, and how much I have changed in a short amount of time. I don't feel like I belong in Abnegation anymore and that saddens me, and yet I am so happy and excited to become a full member of Dauntless. I smile to myself as I look upon Tobias' face once more before closing my eyes.

I awake with a smile on my face, I try to roll but Tobias' arm holds me tighter and I am pressed back into him. I giggle as he chuckles kissing my cheek before releasing me.

"Ready to head home?" I ask him. His smile tells me everything.

"Are you?"

I smile so wide I feel like I could break my cheeks.

"Definitely."

"Are you going to miss it here?"

"It just doesn't feel like home anymore."

"Do you feel at home in Dauntless?"

I nod. He smiles. We get up and dressed walking hand in hand to the dining hall to eat breakfast and say farewell to my parents till I see them at my own wedding.
