I wasn't finished this chapter, so it's kind of short. Since I post every 4-5 days I thought I owed you guys something. This chapter may be short, but it's important.

Chapter 36

Tris POV (2 a.m. Thursday)

I can't help but smile as Eric and I make our way to the dorms. I'm just so excited! Tobias is meeting us by the tracks.

"You look creepy," Eric says. I roll my eye's and dial down my happiness by a notch. "Don't expect to win this year."

"You have no chance," I say rubbing my hands together. I'm planning out all the people Tobias and I will choose. Tobias is captain, but he asked me for my opinions.

"Initiates!" Eric roars when we ever the dorms "Rise and shine!"

"It's… two in the morning," Realm mumbles. I see the light from his watch shin in his face as he squints his eyes to see.

I bang on the lights and yell, "Train leaves in ten!"

The wind sways the cart to the side and I shift, slightly into Tobias's back. He wraps his arms around my waist, but then quickly realises we are in a train with the initiates.

"I wish we were alone," he whispers in my ear. It's hard to hear him over the rain and the rushing wind.

"I almost always wish that," I tell him— leaning my head against the wall my shoulder rests on. Tobias does the same and I feel the heat radiating off of his body. I'm aware of the six inches that is between us. Any closer and we'd be sharing the same hair.

"You two are a little close," says a voice I recognise as Mel's. I'm taken back by her comment and realise how long I've been staring into his eye's.

"Crowded cart," Tobias says after awhile of her staring at us.

"There's more space over here with me," she say taking his arm. Tobias flings his arm back causing her to stumble a little.

"I'm fine here," he says. "Why don't you stand with your sister."

She turns and leaves and I let out a laugh I was holding in. "What?" He says, joining in on the laughter.

I just laugh a little more before turning to the initiates and putting on my 'Six' face; as Tobias calls it. "Eric!" I shout. He looks up and nods his head.

"Capture the flag!" He hold up two flags which are kind of damp from the rain. He tosses the bright orange one to Tobias and take the yellow one for himself. "Four and I are captains. We'll divide up the transfers first."

"You start," Tobias insists.

"J.J," Eric says.

"Chloee," Tobias says chewing his nails. He looks bored, but I know him well enough to know he's excited.

"Marlon."

"Realm."

"Dean," Eric says. I notice Realm and Dean's hands leave each others as Realm crosses to the other side of the train.

"Sloane," Tobias says.

"I'll take Mad, you take Mel." Eric says. Tobias scratches his beard. We didn't expect to get Mel. Judging by the smirk on Eric's face, he did that on purpose.

We go through the Dauntless born initiates and members and hope off first. As I run up to Tobias, I'm cut off by Mel.

"Hey, Four." She says placing a hand on his shoulder… and running it down his arm. Tobias catches her arm by the wrist and whips it off of him.

"Don't touch me," he says sternly.

"You can touch me," she offers. Tobias brushes his wet hair out of his face and parts away from her. I try to wipe the grin off my face and I'm pretty sure I fail. I jog up to him and lace our fingers. The darkness plus the rain makes it hard to see, so I know nobody will notice.

We get to the carousel and we listen to the initiates argue about strategy. I see how Sloane keeps trying to talk, but gets interrupted every chance she gets.

"Hey!" I shout. They all quiet fast, which I'm impressed with. "Listen up! Sloane." Everyone turns to face her and she smiles.

"We send ten people to the left and three to the right to go behind and get the flag," she says.

"How do you know where the flag is?" Realm asks her.

"I asked around on the train of the possible areas," she answers smiling. Realm pats her on the shoulder and grabs a Dauntless born with blue hair and Sloane.

"Wanna get out of here?" Tobias whispers in my ear so close I feel his lips brush against it. I nod my head and take Tobias' hand.

I lead him over to the ferris wheel. When we get underneath Tobias turns and falls back, bringing me with him. Then I remember the last time we were here, when I almost kissed him.

I straddle Tobias to the ground and this time I kiss him. I don't know how long it's been when we heard cheering and whooping. I stand up and help Tobias up too. We see Sloane with the yellow flag and Realm helping her hold it up. Only difference between them is Realm is covered in blue and pink paint.

Tobias pulls me away from the group. I look at him for answers but he's just smiling.

The nets flings me up in the air and I land next to Tobias. I'm still surprised he jumped first. I'm still surprised he brought me here in the first place. Tobias wraps his arm around my neck and pulls me close to him.

In this light, Tobias' eye's look black like the sky. We stare at the stars for what feels like an eternity, when Tobias turns to me and says, "Marry me."

"What?" I ask in complete shock. I can't help myself but laugh. He's obviously joking. I'm only seventeen, eighteen in a couple weeks—but Tobias is nineteen.

"Marry me," He says. "I'm serious."

"You're serious?" I ask. Tobias shifts his body to face me and props his head up with his elbow.

"I am one-hundred percent serious," Tobias says. "I know nothing else is okay, but we are. So Beatrice Grace Prior, I love you and I want to spend the rest of my life with you—so marry me."

He's serious. I've never thought of marriage before. I know people my age get married here in Dauntless. People younger than me have kids here in Dauntless. Whoa there Tris—he asked you to marry him, not have kids with him.

I want to spend the rest of my life with him. "Okay," I say.

Tobias' eyes light up. I don't think I've ever seen him so happy. "Okay?"

"Yes, Tobias." I say. "I'll marry you."

"You will?" He says sitting up now. The sudden movement flings me forward on the net. Tobias catches me before I can fall off and Jumps off, helping me down.

I laugh at how excited he is. "I will," I say again. Tobias hugs me and I wrap my legs around his waist. He kisses me passionately and holds onto me by my thighs. I feel his smile against my lips, and at this moment I don't care who sees us. He walks until we reach the pit doors. He lets go of my thighs, but I stay glued on.

"The pit," he says. I shrug my shoulders and kiss him again. Tobias pushes open the pit doors smiling so much I might aswell be kissing his teeth. I hear whistles and catcalls as Tobias passes crowds of people coming back from capture the flag. I ignore them all though, and so does Tobias.

Tobias fumbles with the keys to the apartment as we make our way to the door. As soon as the door is open Tobias walks us in and kicks it closed. He sits down on the bed with me still on top of him. I lift his shirt up and over him while he does the same with mine. When both shirts are off Tobias taps my bra strap and looks in my eyes for permission.

This is Tobias, I shouldn't be nervous…

Why does it feel like my head is going to explode. I must be biting down on my lip because Tobias runs his thumb along the bottom of it. "Beautiful," he whispers in my ear.

And for the first time… I believe him.

Sorry it's not detailed. I have friends who read this. I'm making a new story soon though which will be M rated. I hope you enjoyed. Also, please give me some ideas for fears and how many some of the characters should have. Who's your favourite character out of the initiates?
