A/N: Hi, lovelies! I came up with an idea of a fanfiction that I might write, if you guys like the idea and want to read it. It'd be another modern day high school story but it'd be mainly focused on Tobias' life, rather than Tris'. Like, how Tobias has to put up with his abusive dad and how he tries to keep his secret hidden from everyone by closing himself off from people who try to be friendly… Kind of like that. Let me know if I should write it! As always, thank you so much for all of your kind reviews and inspiring words! They make me so happy! I hope y'all enjoy this one shot!(:
Tobias' POV
I told myself I was going to wait but of course that didn't work out for me. I don't have the strength to wait until we've moved in together. Therefore, I've decided to propose earlier than I thought.
I purchased a ring weeks ago and I've just been waiting for the right moment. But I recently came up with an idea to propose to her, utilizing our friends in my plan.
I plan on proposing tonight. Tris is currently at work at the diner where she's been working for a while now. Everyone else is off today so we're all at home.
Everyone currently sits in the living room, watching a movie on the TV. I walk into the room and to the TV, turning it off.
"Hey!" Uriah shouts in protest.
"I need all of you guys to help me with something," I say, biting my lip.
"What is it, dude?" Zeke asks.
"Okay, well I've been trying to think of ways to propose to-" I begin but I'm cut off by shrieks of joy from the girls. I feel the corners of my mouth twitch up in a smile. "Anyway, so I came up with an idea but I need help from all of you."
"Whatever you need," Marlene says excitedly. Everyone nods in agreement.
"Awesome," I say with a relieved smile. Not that I necessarily thought they wouldn't help, just that the guys might hound me for proposing.
"So here's the plan. Tris gets off work in an hour. I dropped her off this morning so Christina I need you to pick her up for me and wait until I text you that it's okay to come home – it shouldn't be long," I begin to explain.
"Wait, so where is the actual propose in all this?" Uriah inquires.
"I'm getting there," I say, rolling my eyes. I grab a bag that I put in the corner and place it in front of me. I start to pull out the shirts from the bag. I toss a shirt to each of them, except Christina.
They all pick up the shirts to see what they say with confused looks. I roll my eyes, "All of you stand up."
When they stand up, I pull Will to stand on the far left, then I put Shauna next to him. Then Zeke, Marlene, and Uriah. "Hold the shirts up in front of you," I tell them, and they do.
"Now look at them and read them," I explain. Everyone does to see that Will's shirt says Will, Shauna's shirt says You, Zeke's says Marry, Marlene's says Me, while Uriah's shirt has a question mark on it.
"Oh," They all say in unison as understanding dawns on their faces.
"So basically all of you are going to put those shirts on but you're going to have jackets over them. Christina, when you get here with Tris, suggest she take a group picture. Then the rest of you line up just like this and take your jackets off. Everyone got it?" I ask after my long explanation of the plan. They all nod eagerly.
Christina looks at me with a wide smile "This is gonna be awesome."
Tris' POV
I clock out and walk out the door of the diner, looking for a familiar car. I spot Christina's car and head towards it, completely confused. I open the door and hop in and Christina turns to me with a large smile, "Hey Tris."
"Hi…" I say slowly, not understanding why she's picking me up and also not understanding why she seems so happy.
Her phone buzzes and she reads the text message with an eager grin. "What's going on?" I ask slowly.
Her head snaps over to me. "Nothing is going on," She retorts.
I snort, "Right. Okay."
She sighs but puts the car in drive and begins to drive back to our house.
When she finally pulls the car into the driveway, I try to open the door but she has it locked and the lock button on this side doesn't work so I can't unlock it.
"Chris, unlock the door," I tell her. She's texting someone, paying no attention to me. "Chris!"
"Oh yeah, sorry." She unlocks the door and we both get out. I give her an incredulous stare and she just shrugs.
She opens the front door and I walk in behind her. Everyone stands around in the living room, wearing jackets other than Tobias. "Is everyone really cold or something?" I say, chuckling a bit.
"You're right. This is a funny moment. Tris, you should take a group picture of everyone to remember this moment," Christina says, handing me a camera.
"Okay…" I say. I've never felt more confused. Everyone else eagerly huddles together but Christina who stands next to me. I hold up the camera and put my eye against it so I can peer through the hole. Suddenly, everyone rips off their jackets.
I put the camera back down, shocked. I open my mouth to ask why they did that but then Tobias gets down on one knee in front of all of them. I look back up at my friends and notice their shirts. Will You Marry Me ?
My hand flies up to my mouth and a sob escapes me. I look back at Tobias whose kneeling on the floor. He pulls a box out of his pocket and holds it out toward me with a hopeful smile, "So Tris, will you marry me?"
Another sob escapes me and I nod frantically, tears streaming down my face. I rush towards Tobias just as he rises from the ground. I launch myself at him, wrapping my arms around his neck. His arms circle my waist and I bury my head in the crook of his neck, sniffling.
He pulls back to look at me and holds his hand out for mine. I give him my left hand and he slides a ring onto my finger. I examine it with a wide, affectionate smile. It's simple yet so beautiful.
"Are you okay?" Tobias asks with a smile, rubbing soothing circles in my back.
I nod and lean up to kiss him. Everything around me fades away. I forget about all of my friends in the room as I passionately kiss my now-fiancé.
"Guys, we're still here!" Zeke shouts.
I laugh, pulling back a few centimeters from Tobias. "I love you," I whisper against his lips.
"We helped!" Uriah yells.
I laugh, rolling my eyes and turn towards all my friends. "You guys know I love all of you," I tell them.
"Now go away, we're busy," Tobias says with a mock scowl.
They laugh but disperse with Will saying, "Fine, we'll let you guys have a few minutes."
Once they've all left the room, I turn back to Tobias, "You're perfect and that was perfect. This is best day ever. Thank you."
He kisses me chastely on the lips. "Thank you for saying yes," He tells me with a smirk.
"You're right, I should have said no. Dang it," I say playfully.
"Well, too late now. You're mine forever."
I sigh, "I guess I'm okay with that."
He laughs, shaking his head, "You better be more than okay with it."
"You're right," I smile. "There's no words to describe how I feel about it."
A/N: Yay! Our cute little Fourtris is now engaged! I know that Tobias might be a little OOC in this one shot but I still like it. Anyway, review please! I love to hear your thoughts!
