Four and I climb the large Ferris wheel. He keeps one hand firmly placed in my waist so I don't fall. Apparently he doesn't want me to slip, even though he's the one that was in the hospital a few days ago.

"You don't have to do that." I sigh.
"Yes I do." He replies with a chuckle.

"You're a weird person, did you know that? You hate heights, yet you always put yourself in compromising situations like these." I giggle.

"I try to get over my fears... If I get use to heights, I won't be afraid of them." He replies and I can hear the smirk in his tone.

We reach the top of the Ferris wheel and I climb into one of the closest carts. Four follows behind me, then hands me the picnic basket as he spreads blankets and pillows on the cart. We set the basket between us then sit down.

"Your fears make you who you are. You shouldn't try to get rid of them." I state with a small smile.

"I know... But I can't help it." He sighs. I lean over and press a kiss to his bottom lip. He chuckles and tugs me so I'm sitting sideways on his lap. He gently presses his lips to mine and I wrap my arms around his neck.

"I love you." I whisper between kisses.
"I love you too." He murmurs and moves his lips to my neck. A loud sigh escapes my mouth and he chuckles.

"What?" I pout when he pulls away.
"You're too cute." He whispers and rubs his nose against mine. A blush forms on my face and i bury my face in his neck.

"Let's eat." He suggests. I nod in agreement and move over so in sitting next to him. I munch on a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, and the sun begins to set.

"I'll never get over this view." I sigh out in content.

"Me either." He murmurs and keeps his eyes locker with mine. A blush rises to my cheeks at the double meaning and I look away from him.

"You're beautiful." He whispers.
"You're just trying to make me blush now." I state and roll my eyes.

"It's a bonus." He replies and pulls me into his arms, once again. We silently stare at the sunset and he rubs my lower back. His lips graze my ear lobe and I shiver. My head twists and I look up at him.

"Four." I whine, causing him to chuckle.
"What?" He teases in the same tone as me.
"Don't do that." I say with a pout.

"Why not?" He asks with a chuckle. My eyes narrow and I desperately press my lips to his. His hands travel to my waist and I move so I'm facing him. My arms wrap around his neck and he pulls me closer to him. My hands move into his hair and his lips move to my neck. A foreign noise escapes my mouth and he pulls away with a series of chuckles.

"Stop laughing at me." I pout.
"I'm sorry." He chuckles and presses a quick kiss to my lips.

"Why'd you stop?" I quietly ask.
"If we went any farther your first time would be in a Ferris wheel. I don't want that for you." He replies and I smile.

"As long as it's with you." I murmur.
"No, I want it to be perfect." He replies and pulls me so I'm laying down with him.

"Fine." I dramatically whisper. He chuckles once again and i smirk.

"You should laugh more." I state.
"What brilliant person once told me that?" He mockingly teases.

"I don't know, but they must have been pretty smart." I reply with an award winning smile. He presses a kiss to my shoulder then wraps his arms around me.

"I'm glad you came to dauntless. I'm sorry about the circumstances... But I'm glad you're here." He murmurs.

"I'm glad I'm here too." I agree. He sighs against my ear and kisses my cheek.

"Are we spending the night here? Or do you want to head back? We have to get up early tomorrow." He states.

"Let's stay here." I whisper and he nods.

"Let's go to sleep now then. We need to be on our bet game tomorrow." He replies. My eyes flutter shut and he pulls me impossibly close to him.

"Goodnight darling." He murmurs.
"Goodnight Tobias." I whisper back.
