CHAPTER 5 - NOT YOUR AVERAGE DAY
1 year on…
TOBIAS P.O.V
I wake to find Tris snuggled into my side as I do every morning. I roll out of bed and head to the bathroom. After I've brushed my teeth, washed my face and shaved I leave Tris a little message on the mirror with shaving cream: "Marry Me?"
It's quite ironic how after weeks of planning, re-planning and tearing my hair out in frustration over how I should ask Tris to marry me; I've gone with the simplest way. But I think Tris will appreciate how un-extravagant it is.
I walk out of the bathroom to find Tris lying awake in our bed. This is how I like her best: in sleep shorts, my old t-shirt, hair mussed up from sleep and no make-up.
"Bathrooms free babe." I tell her
She does her signature stretch which involves spreading herself across the entire bed; I've quite often endured a hand to the face or a foot the thigh if I'm still in bed when she does this. She then gets up and kisses my cheek on her way to the bathroom. As soon as she walks through the door I grab the ring box from the bottom of my shoe, which I put in as she slept last night, and get down on one knee.
A second later I hear:
"YES, YES, A THOUSAND TIMES YES!"
Tris comes running out of the bathroom I grab her and spin her around.
"So I take it that's a yes then?" I ask her, grinning from ear to ear.
I feel her nod into my neck. She brings her head up to look me in the eyes; she's crying now.
"I'm sorry there are no candles or fancy dinner but I've had this ring for 5 weeks now trying to decide on the perfect way to ask you when I realised no matter how I ask you the only way it would be perfect is if you said yes. So last night I decided I couldn't wait any longer, I want to marry Beatrice Elisabeth Prior, and have kids with you and grow old with you and I don't want to wait any longer." Tris is now smiling massively with tears streaming down her face.
"This is perfect Tobias. I just want to freeze this moment and live in it forever."
And with that I slide the ring onto her finger.

TRIS P.O.V
To celebrate our engagement Tobias and I spend the day doing the most un-dauntless thing there is to do; we cuddle.
We lay on the couch watching movies, talking about nothing, reminiscing and just enjoying holding each other.
When there's a knock on the door Tobias goes to answer it. I hear Christina's voice.
"We haven't seen you guys all day! We were about to send out a search party!"
I hear Tobias laugh and invite her in, so I quickly shove my left hand up my sleeve.
"Hey Tris, you okay?" Christina asks as Tobias reclaims his seat next to me and she sits on the chair opposite.
"Christina, can you be a girl for a few seconds?"
"I'm always a girl" she smiles knowingly, remembering the same conversation we had when she told me about her and will nearly eighteen months ago.
I remove my hand from my sleeve and show her the ring.
"Surprise."
A look of genuine shock and happiness crosses her face and she squeals and tackles me into a hug.
"Oh my gosh I'm so happy for you!"
She turns to Tobias and motions for him to join the hug.
"You too big guy. Thank you for making my sister so happy."
AN: Aw yay they're engaged! Hope you enjoyed! Keep the reviews coming, I love hearing what you have to say. :)
Until next time,
~Lizzie xoxo
P.S I spelt Elisabeth with an S instead of a Z because that's how I spell my name :P
