I didn't update last week because I posted another story, yay! Natural is doing really well! Kind of damages my confidence of The Program, since it got more follows and favourites on its first chapter then The Program has in its 4… but thanks, lol.

DIVERGENT TRIANGLE is a story I plan on keeping for awhile. This story will be updated every week whenever I have a chapter ready and not every two weeks like my other ones because it's a story that does not have a main conflict. It's more of a 'Yeah this works' kind of story, but I do enjoy writing this story the most because of that.

Anyways, I made this chapter short because the next chapter I've been waiting to write since initiation with the new characters started. I'm working on it right now, so get hyped. Ahh, I can't wait!

Also if you are looking for a book series to pick up I just read the first book of the Lunar Series by Marissa Meyer (Cinder) and it's SO FUCKING GOOD!

Anyways, enjoy! ;)

Chapter 37

Tris POV

I wake up wrapped in nothing but a blanket. I turn around and see a sleeping Tobias. He looks so handsome with his hair tousled and his lips parted. I have to admit; I'm loving the beard. It's not a big beard, but long enough to cover just the top of his lip.

The alarm blares and Tobias flings his arm over almost breaking the alarm. He mumbles, slamming his head back into the pillow. I slide on Tobias' shirt and flip over to straddle him. Tobias opens his eyes and smiles.

"So, last night was…" he trails off, waiting for me to finish the sentence. What does he want me to say? Did he like it as much as me?

"It was," I settle with. Tobias goes up on his elbow and kisses me, slowly. When he pulls back I give him a confused look. I know he's waiting for me to finish that sentence. "It was amazing." Tobias smiles. I get up so I can brush my teeth and Tobias frowns, so I run back and give him a quick kiss. I hear a knock as I run to the washroom.

"Can I tell Chris about the fiance thing?" I shout from the washroom.

"Engaged?" I hear someone say as Tobias opens the door. This time I make sure that I'm dressed before exiting the washroom.

"Max," I say in greeting. He's probably here to talk about the job with Tobias.

"Hello, Tris." He says. I head back into the washroom to get ready trying not to eavesdrop on an obvious private conversation.

Tobias POV

Max takes a chair from the table and turns it around to sit on it backwards. He has dried mud on his boots like the day I became a member and he wanted me for leadership. I guess this is kind of déjà vu.

"There is one place in leadership for you," Max states.

"That's—" I start.

"And it's mine," Max says. "I'm taking the jump. I'd like you to lead this faction, there's no way in hell I'm giving it to Eric."

I'm still in shock to speak. Max is going to take the jump. I know he's considered one of the older dauntless, but not old enough to take the jump. Bud is still around and he's in his sixties. Max is in his late forties. "W-why?" I stammer out.

"I have arthritis in my knees, can't jump off trains anymore." He says as if killing himself isn't a big deal. Not to mention he's leaving the whole faction to me. I haven't even had the training to become a leader yet.

"Okay," I say scratching my beard. "When?"

"After initiation," he says. He stands up and walks towards the door. I can't believe he's acting as if this is no big deal. "I'd like to have Tris swing by my office by the end of the day," he adds.

He starts walking down the hallway, but before he turns the corner he turns and says, "Congrats on the engagement."

I quickly look around to make sure nobody heard that. Zeke would freak if I didn't tell him first. I close the door and head back in.

Tris and I stand at the door to the cafeteria. We agreed I'd tell Zeke and she'd tell Christina for now. We don't want the whole compound knowing. We'll I wouldn't mind the whole compound knowing, but Tris has her reasons.

I give Tris a quick kiss before we head in. We sit at our usual table near the line because Uriah likes to be first to the Dauntless cake. I don't sit and neither does Tris. They all quiet and look at us. "Chris, I need to talk to you." Tris says. Christina just raises an eyebrow, but jumps up when Tris adds, "Like girl talk, now."

"Zeke?" I ask.

"Bro talk?" He asks.

"Don't call it that," I say. We walk over so we are in the pit away from our table. "What's up man? You look like you're an Amity did you take peace serum?—"

"I asked Tris to marry me!" I blurt out.

"When?!" He asks excited. Zeke pulls me into a hug and for once I'm too exhilarated not to hug back. Zeke pulls away and holds onto my shoulders. His face goes dead serious and he makes some intense eye contact. "She's not pregnant, is she?"

"No," I scoff at his seriousness.

"Have you two even…?" He trails off, suggesting something with his eyebrows.

"Yeah," I say.

"Yeah?"

"Yes, not that it's any of your business." I retort.

"Okay, okay," He says.

"I'm also going to be a leader," I tell him cautiously, hoping nobody hears.

"That's awesome, man!"

"I'm taking Max's place—he's going to jump."

Zeke stops and takes a deep breath out, then exhales in.

"He told me this morning, I haven't told Tris yet."

"Better tell her soon. Word gets around fast." Zeke responds. I nod and head back to the table. I pull Tris to my side without thinking, but quickly move my hand away.

Tris POV

(Later that day)

Tobias told me we needed to talk. I feel fear course through me as we walk towards the chasm. What if he changes his mind? Maybe he thinks proposing to me was a mistake.

Tobias takes my hand and I relax. He sits down on the rocks and I lay down beside him, putting my head in his lap. He combs his fingers through my short hair and leans down to kiss my forehead. I close my eyes, enjoying the moment while it lasts.

"Max is taking the jump," he says so softly, I almost don't hear it over the rushing water. I open my eyes, but he doesn't look down. "After initiation. He wants me to take over the faction, which means spending more time with… him."

"Are you going to take it?" I ask.

"If I don't take it then who will?" He says. "Eric? Peter?" I feel myself stiffen at the thought.

"I'm sorry," I say placing a hand on his cheek to look down at me. His deep blue eyes melt into me and he places his mouth to mine.

"As long as I'm with you, I can face him." I peck his cheek and he gives me a small, but genuine smile. "We will be moving to the leader's sector."

I sit up a little shocked and say, "Seriously?" The leader houses are way too much for us, but I can't force the smile off my face. Back in Abnegation it was all about equality so leaders had regular houses. Here, they have some of the best apartments for leaders.

I quickly realize that the only reason this is happening is because Max will be dead. In my time here, Max has become a father figure to many people here, including me.

"I talked to Max earlier today," Tobias starts. "He said we can move into the new place tomorrow, while the initiates are at Visiting Day. We will be done before it's over so you can visit your family."

I almost forgot that tomorrow is Visiting Day. "You're not coming?" I ask.

"Your mom almost died, so I just assume you wanted some time with her." Tobias explains as he scratches the back of his neck nervously.

"I want her to meet the man I'm marrying," I tell him. Tobias looks down at me. Is he nervous to meet her?

"Okay," he says as the nervousness is replaced with excitement.

I know it was really short, but I'm making the next chapter really long. It's going to be written in Tobias, Tris, and Realm's POV for sure, but tell me if you want anyone else's POV.
