A/N: What I really like about this story is that there is a five year gap in Tris and Tobias' relationship and I'm allowed to write whatever I want to fill in the gap. So here's a little Valentine's story because we all know Tobias and Tris aren't getting together anytime soon. Here's my gift to you. This is dedicated to all those single ladies/men out there. Enjoy!

Valentine's Day.

Tris' POV

I browse through my Netflix account looking for something to watch. Of course, Christina must be coming today. Valentine's Day and all. I could care less. I mean, I believe in love and all, it's just, why is there one specific day to show your significant other that you love them? Valentine's Day is just bull shit. You should be telling your partner that you love them all the time instead of buying all this crap on one day to express your love.

It doesn't matter anyways, my love life is...who am I kidding, I don't have a love life.

As I finally settle down to a TV show, Supernatural, one of the best things ever, I hear a knock on the door. Groaning, I drag myself to the door and look through the peephole.

"Four, hi." I say opening the door. "What are you doing here?"

He has this huge smile on his face. Okay, I take that back, I don't have a love life, but I can't deny the fact that I have an attraction towards Four.

"I should be asking you the same." He leans against the doorframe. "It's Valentine's Day. Shouldn't you be hanging out with your boyfriend?"

"I don't have a boyfriend."

"Girlfriend, then?" He looks a tad worried for a seconds.

"Nope, no girlfriend either."

"Okay, I wouldn't have judged. But good. Do you want to do something with me?"

"Like what?" He invites himself in, and sits on my couch. "Okay then." I breath out as he makes himself comfortable.

"How about you and I have a movie marathon?"

"I was already watching something."

"What?" It's as if he's staring into my soul. Gosh, he's so damn attractive.

"I was watching Supernatural." I tell him.

"Okay, good. I love that show!" Could he get any better?

Just then, an idea pops in my head. "Do you want to do a video with me?" I ask, hoping he'd agree.

"Video? For what?" He asks.

"Zeke didn't tell you? I'm a YouTuber." I say simply.

"Oh right! Oh in that case, I'd love to make a video with you. What are you planning on?"

"You'll see." I grab Four by the arm and drag him to my bedroom. I set up my camera equipment and then sit down on my bed. I pat the spot next to me and he sits down as well. I get up momentarily to turn on the camera.

"Okay. Hey guys, I'm here with my friend, Four. Yes, I know, it's a nickname. Don't ask." I smile and quickly glance at him. He's looking at me with this look on his face.

I snap out of my temporary trance and look back into the camera.

"So happy Valentine's Day! And for all of you single people out there, kudos for you. I find the holiday incredibly stupid."

Four interrupts her. "You don't like Valentine's Day?" I shake my head. "But it's the day of love."

"I know." I sigh. "But look at it this way. Let's say I loved you. Will I love you tomorrow? In a week? Why is it that there's one specific day that couples make a big deal to show their affection for one another? They should be showing that they love one another all the time instead of just one specific day. But it doesn't matter. I'm single, and I'm proud." I say. I look at Four and he looks in deep thought.

"Anyways," I say, "Four and I are going to do the friendship test, or game, whatever. Because who needs love when you have friends? Basically like, twenty question, but you ask me a question and I'm supposed to guess the answer. And same vise versa. Whoever wins gets this box of chocolate." I bend over a receive the candy that Christina gave me earlier this morning.

"I'm allergic."

"What?" I stop everything I'm doing.

Four laughs. "I'm kidding. Who's actually allergic to chocolate? If you are, I'm so sorry."

"Oh in that case, I hope you like Godiva. I only eat Godiva and See's Candy chocolate." I tell him.

"Huh. Why is that?" Tobias asks me.

"My dad works for the government and sometimes he would go to business trips. Every time he would come home, he would bring home loads of Godiva or See's candy chocolates. At one point, we had a whole cupboard of chocolate. Since then, I would only eat that brand of chocolate." I explains.

"Huh. I'll make a note of that." He smirks and looks at me. I suddenly become instantly wet. That smile though.

"Okay, let's start." I direct the attention elsewhere.

"Favorite movie." I read off my phone.

"Avengers." He says almost immediately.

"Aww...you know my favorite movie? That's cute. I feel like my fans know how obsessed I am with the Avengers. We can all conclude that Chris Evans and Scarlet Johansen are the most beautiful people on the Earth. Hence all the posters." I turn around and show all my posters hung up on my room."

"Aww. What about me? Aren't I beautiful?" Four pouts.

"Just the cutest." I get up close to him and pat his cheek. A toothy smile makes his way to his face.

"Okay, what's my favorite movie."

"Uhm, The Godfather?"

"No way!" He exclaims.

"Yay! I got it right?"

He nods and licks his lips. He needs to stop doing that!

"Pet peeve." I say.

"I think I remember you saying something about people and escalators."

"Oh my gosh. Don't get me started. People need to learn that you have to stay on the right side of the escalator. Like seriously. I always take the stairs, but when they're aren't any stairs I literally get so annoyed when they're just standing right in the middle of the escalator. Like I have places to be. Same with shopping carts. Like you're literally blocking the damn aisle with your stupid cart." I rant.

Four looks at me amused. "You're cute when your angry."

"You're cute in general." I blurt and then blush madly.

He grins madly. "Tris." He whispers and then leans close.

"Hm?"

"Can I kiss you?" I look up and stare into his deep blue eyes then slowly nod my head.

He slowly leans in and as cliché as it sounds, it feels like time stops. A million fireworks and deep magical feeling runs through my body. I feel an electrical current and all is forgotten. All I can feel is his soft, plump lips on mine and how delicious he tastes.

"Let's just skip the video." I say against his lips. I feel him nod his head.

I know I said Valentine's Day is really stupid, but maybe it's not so bad after all.


"I've liked you for a very long time." He tells me as we lie on the couch snuggled together.

"We've known each other for a month." I say.

"Time tends to stop when I'm with you." That was incredibly cheesy, but adorable nonetheless.

"You're adorable." I poke his nose.

"Not as adorable as you." I love the way he smiles. He gets a little twinkle that glistens in his eyes and little wrinkle to the side of his beautiful blue orbs. My mom always told me that a real smile is when you smile with your eyes too. Don't get me started on his perfect teeth.

"Did you have braces when you were younger?"

"Yeah." He smiles again. "Come one. I want to do something than just being lazy and laying on the couch."

He grabs my hand and helps pull me upwards. As I grab my phone to leave, the door swings open.

"Honey, I'm home!" A loud, high-pitched voice sings.

Christina spots Four standing next to me. "Oh why hell there, Four." She winks at him. "Looking fine as usual."

I playfully nudge Christina. "Paws off. He's mine. I saw him first." I feel Four laugh beside me. "We're leaving." I tell her.

"Where to?" Christina makes herself comfortable on the couch, but tabbing the large bag of potato chips on the way.

"I have no idea." I say.

"It's a surprise." Four says.

I groan and lean my head against him. "You should know something about me. I absolutely hate surprises."

"Well good."

"You're the worst." I say.

"But you love it."

"True."

I love how we get along so well. He's so easy to talk to and what's even better is the fact that he looks like a freaking Greek god.

"Are you part Greek?"

"I am as a matter a fact. Why do you ask?"

"Just wondering." I state plainly. That makes more sense.

He parks his car and hurried a over to open the door for me. What a gentleman.

He grasps my hand and I entwine ours together. He then pulls me close and I wrap an arm around his torso with my free hand. I nuzzle close to him and inhale his scent.

Together, we ask for a bit until we stop at a small lake. It's a half an hour till sunset. He walks me towards a small shed.

"Can we rent a small rowboat?" The man nods and takes out the boat. Four pays and he helps push the boat with the man. I carry the two paddles.

"Let me help you in." He offers me his arm and he helps me onto the boat.

The man, which I learned is named Jonathan helps push the boat in the water with Four. Four then jumps into the water.

"Having fun so far?" He asks.

"Yeah. This is so romantic. All you need is lanterns and then it will be just like Tangled.

"Yeah, about that..." He scratches the back of his neck.

"No way." I squeal.

"On Valentine's Day, couples are allowed to let lanterns out together, and here's the best view. When I was younger, my mother used to take me every year to see them." He tells me.

"That's amazing, Four. Thanks for bringing me." Together, we paddle around telling one another more about ourselves.

"Hey look." He points to behind me and I turn around. A small lit lantern floats in the air followed by several more.

"That's beautiful." I quickly take out my phone a snap a picture. I'm a photographer after all. Every beautiful moment deserves to be captured and remembered. I put my phone away and then look back at Four.

"My real name's Tobias." He says.

"Huh?"

"Tobias. I'd like it if you'd call me that. It will be our little secret." He says, his face coming close to mine.

Again, these fireworks return as he kisses me. He kisses me with passion and longing. There are no words to describe this feeling.

"Will you be my girlfriend, Tris?"

"Yes." I say with no hesitation. "I'd love to be your girlfriend, Tobias."

I've never seen a smile so wide on Tobias and seeing him like that makes my heart do a million flip.

"If being with you means I get to experience things like this all of the time, then I'm glad I got to spend Valentine's Day with you." I confess.

"Good, because I plan on making everyday special just for you."

"You're amazing." I say.

"I know."
