Tobias.

It's now 10:00, time for the next surprise. I glance down at Tris, hugging me, she's not gonna like the idea of another surprise, but I know she'll love the actual thing.

"Time to go." I say quietly. She hugs me tighter. "A few more minutes." She pleads. "No can do, Trissy" I say, using the cute nickname she hates, she punches me lightly in the arm, and I steal a kiss.

She pushes away, and I take her hand. I take her through another path, and take a sharp right. The haunting tree clusters and branches reminding me of my past. She shivers and grips my hand harder. I take this as a chance to grip her hand tighter, knowing that she's there makes everything about my past seem to melt away, and know that everything will be okay.

We emerge from the trees and I can feel her gasp. I clench my teeth, memories flooding my mind. Tris, tris tris.

Tris.

I gasp as I see the plain gray, box houses lining the patch of land in front of me. Abnegation. My childhood home, my family, Marcus. I feel Tobias clench his teeth, and I grip his hand tighter.

The things he would go through to make me happy, to reunite me with the family I missed for another birthday. "Hey" I say quietly. "We don't have to go."

His muscles tighten and I can see he has already made up his mind. "No" he says, "it's your birthday, I can do this if you're with me." He tries to smile, and I stop him with a kiss.

"Thank you," I whisper. He shrugs, embarrassed, "let's go see your parents."

My hand trembles as I raise my hand to knock on the plain door. I lower my hand slowly. "What's wrong?" Tobias questions in a loving tone. "It-it's just, nothing" I say. He went through all this trouble with his physical and emotional state to get this time with my family, it's the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me, I'm not gonna ruin it because I'm scared.

Scared of what my father will think, scared of tensions, scared of hatred, embarrassment. "Hey," he grips my hand. "You don't have to pretend to be strong, I'm here" he smiles and embraces me in a passionate kiss. "Together we can get through anything."

I look up, and smile. "Together," I nod. And he takes my hand and we knock on the door together.

The door slowly opens, and at once a cry erupts. "Happy birthday Tris!" I run in, all my worries melting away.

"Mom, dad!" I cry, running up to them. I go in for a hug, but my mom stops me, eyeing her, I shake my dad's hand, and slowly do the same to my mom.

I had forgotten the Abnegation ways, but it was such a relief to see that they still loved me. Tobias nods at both of them, and they lead us to the living room.

My mother stands aside and let's us sit down first, "anyone want a drink?" She asks sweetly. Tobias and I nod, I look over at my dad, "I'll help." He says, and Tobias and I both look down.

I grip his hand tighter as they leave the room, and he gives me a sympathetic look. I shrug dismissing it, I never had that much abnegation in me either way.

"So Tris, Four, how did you guys meet?" My mom asks as she sets down the drinks in front of us.

I look at Tobias, and he nods his head. "Well, we met during Dauntless initiation, and we started spending a lot of time together, then we developed feelings for each other, and now were here." My mother nods, and I eye my dad.

"It's good that you have such good friends that care about you so much" she says.

"So, Four, are you a transfer?" My dad asks. I can feel him harden next to me. I grip his hand and tap him four times with my thumb, signaling that I will take care of this.

I quickly knock my cup over with my toe, and it spills everywhere. I feel bad, but it's protecting Tobias, and he's already compromised so much to be here.

"I am so sorry!" I say at once, pretending to look worried. "Don't worry honey, we'll get some towels to dry it up."

"I'll help you," I offer, looking down at the spill again. "That's very kind of you, Tris." I look at Tobias and the worried look on his face has vanished.

I let out a sigh of relief, and follow my mother to the kitchen.

~00:(page break):00~

"Well, look at the time!" My mother exclaims, looking at the clock on the wall. "I understand you have another appointment somewhere else? It was so nice being able to be with you on your birthday Tris, Happy Birthday."

"Yes, you've grown to be a fine young lady" my dad says.

"Thanks" I smile, and they usher Tobias and I out of the door.

Once it closes, we both let out a sigh of relief. "Well, it could've been worse" I say, "yeah," he replies sadly. "Hey, you are such a sweet guy, thank you so much for setting this up for me" I say shyly taking his hand.

"Tris?"

"Yeah?"

"I love you so much"

"Oh Tobias, you do not know how much I love you."

"Bet I do," he teases. "Close your eyes,"

"Again?"

"Yes"

I close my eyes, and I feel him leave me for a few seconds.

"Alright open" I open my eyes, and see him, holding yet another piece of chocolate cake with a candle in the middle.

I smile, and remember to blow it out this time, before crashing my lips into his. "You're perfect you know that?"

"Yeah, I do"

I punch him in the arm, "You're a dork you know that right?"

"as a matter of fact I do, but I'm your dork" he smiles and envelops me in another kiss.
