A/N1: Please pretend that a few days have passed from the encounter with Al; I was having writer's block and thought I would just skip the rest of that day.

Chapter Nine

Today has been a relatively lazy day. I went shopping with Christina to get Tobias a present and left Tobias to do things with Zeke. He said something about helping him find a present for Shauna.

When I got home, I was greeted by a smiling Tobias with a five o'clock shadow telling me to dress warmly and be ready in ten minutes.

I walked to the closet and grabbed a dark grey turtle neck, black skinny jeans, and my favorite black combat boots before walking to the bathroom. In the bathroom, I took a few minutes to touch up my makeup with a fresh coat of mascara, a bit of a deep red blush, and a natural looking pink lipstick. After dressing, I put on a few sprays of perfume and walked out to meet Tobias.

He was standing by the door patiently waiting, holding my black pea coat in his hands with a pair of black gloves, clearly ready to go to our destination.

"Are you ready to go?" he asked, excitement tugging at each word that leaves his mouth.

"Yeah. Where are we going?" I returned, curiosity getting the best of me.

"You'll see," he smugly responds.

With that, we were off.

*PAGE BREAK WOOT PAGE BREAK WOOT*

After a short train ride in the snow, Tobias and I arrived at the place it all began: the Ferris wheel.

It looked even more charming than usual in the snow, a light dusting of snow covering the rails and seats.

As I admired the picturesque scene in front of me, Tobias began walking towards the Ferris wheel, tugging me along by our linked hands. We reach one of the seats on the Ferris wheel and Tobias brushes it off with his arm before spreading a blanket across it that he had brought from the train.

He motions for me to take a seat and when I do, he joins me, draping his arm across my shoulder.

"What do you think?" he asks, an adorable, boyish smile pulling at the corners of his mouth.

"It's perfect, but where did you get the blanket?" I ask, curious as to how he managed to find something so easily.

"I had Zeke leave it on the train for me earlier today. He was going to one of the other factions and mentioned he'd be taking that train, so I told him to leave it in the corner. You really like it?" he asks. If I didn't know any better, I'd say he sounds a little insecure.

"Yes, Tobias, I love it!" I stare intently into his eyes, my smile growing wider as I watch snowflakes catch on his thick lashes.

"Good," he states contentedly before leaning in for a kiss. The kisses start off gentle but quickly grow more demanding as the snow falls. When his tongue glides over my bottom lip asking for entrance, it is granted with a happy sigh from me.

Even though our actions are growing hotter as the time passes, it seems that the icy Chicago air is growing colder. After about ten minutes of making out on the Ferris wheel, Tobias pulls away as he notices me shivering.

"Come on, let's go back to Dauntless. Frost bite would be a terrible way to end such a wonderful night." He stands and puts out a hand to pull me up.

Knowing he's right, I take the hand he has offered and pull myself out of the seat I was so willing to spend the rest of the night in. Oh well, I guess we'll just have to finish this at home.

At that thought, Dauntless doesn't seem like such a bad idea, and I begin to tug Tobias along behind me instead of it being the other way around. He drops my hand to fold up the blanket again and I accept this as the perfect opportunity to bend over and grab a handful of snow.

Mashing the snow together, I form a ball shape and wait on Tobias to turn around.

When he throws the blanket over his shoulder and turns around, I launch the snowball at him, it landing right smack dab in the middle of his chest.

"Oh, Tris, you are going to regret that," he says, a playful glint shining through the seriousness in his tone. With that, we were off.

I ran around the other side of the Ferris wheel, knowing from the start than any attempt at out running Tobias would be made in vain. Sure, I'm fast, but Tobias is, too. Plus, he has the advantage of longer legs.

Just as I'm about to head off again, I feel his strong arms wrap around my waist and lift me off the ground, twirling us both around. I let out a shriek of surprise followed by soft laughter signaling my glee. He sets me back down and I turn around in his arms, standing on my tip toes for a kiss.

"Ah, ah, ah, wait until we get back home. You're going to freeze to death if we don't leave soon," he says, almost as if he's scolding a child.

I roll my eyes slightly and we walk off to catch the train back home.

*THEY'RE ON A TRAIN AND IT'S GOING PRETTY FAST AND FLUFF YAY *

When the door shuts to our apartment we both start shedding each other of our layers. Before long we're both clad in our undergarments and walking towards the bed. When my legs hit the edge of the bed, we fall together in a heap of limbs, our love for one another displayed in our frantic kisses.

*RAISES EYEBROWS, WINK WINK, NUDGE NUDGE*

Out of breath, we collapse together once again, and I take just a moment to think about what a wonderful life I have in Dauntless. An amazing boyfriend, wonderful friends, and happiness that doesn't feel selfish. What more could a girl ask for?

At that thought, my eyes fall heavy with sleep, and I think I manage to whisper out a faint, "I love you," before crashing for the night.

A/N2: So, coming back from a week long absence with fluff. Does this mean you won't kill me? I've been trying to write at school, but finals week has everybody stressing. Monday is my last day of finals and I only have a bajillion things due. Hopefully I'll update tomorrow since it's supposed to be icy and belch where I live which will confine me to my home all day. I hope you guys have had a good week! Winter break starts on Tuesday for me so updates should come much more regularly then! THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT I LOVE YOU GUYS. Tell me what you thought! Have a good night! xx, chrissym453
