Tris POV:
By the time I had managed to coax Tobias back to bed, the sun had begun to rise. I leave him breathing softly, getting up to shut the curtains before climbing back into bed beside him. His arms wrap around me and he nuzzles his face into my neck, letting out a small sigh. I smile, letting my eyes rift close, and find myself lulled into a dreamless sleep.

I wake up to a small stream of light coming through the curtains. Detangling myself from from his arms, I sit and stretch lightly. My eyes are clouded with sleep, and I rub them lightly before getting up and pulling the curtain shut more, surrounding the room in darkness. Quietly, I make my way to the kitchen and switch on the coffee pot. The soothing drip from the brewing beans slowly coaxes my eyes open. I fill one mug, adding a little bit of cream to it before taking it to the couch, sipping it lightly. I watch the sun rise from the window of my apartment, the bright color making me ache for a paint brush.
I get up, making my way towards my in-apartment studio, a small room containing some paints and canvas. I pick up my easel, a small canvas, and a selection of acrylic paint. Setting up my supplies in front of the large window in my living room, I get to work trying to capture the essence of the morning sunrise.
I must have been working for hours, the sun filling my paper. I watch the swirls of yellow blend into the soft pinks and reds. I'm so engrossed in my work, I don't even notice him come up behind me. I feel him press up against m, and I jump.
"Good morning." He whispers, pressing a kiss to the base of my neck. I grin, a small shiver going down my spine. I set down my brush, not turning around. He wraps his arms around his waist.
"When did you wake up?" I whisper. He presses closer to me.
"Just now. I got concerned when I woke up and you weren't there." I shake my head.
"Always the protector." He lets out a laugh.
"But who will protect you from me?" Without warning, he throws me over his shoulder. I let out a shriek, as he turns and deposits me onto the couch before lying on top of me.
"Get up, your crushing me!" I gasp, laughing in between breaths. He supports himself on his forearms, looking down on me.
"Only if you kiss me. " I wrinkle my nose.
"Not a chance, Morning Breath." He lets out a laugh before letting his weight fall on me again.
"Okay, Okay!" I gasp. He grins and gets up. I wrap my arms around his neck, and pul him in for a kiss. He wraps his arms around my waist, pulling me on top of him. As his hands start to slip underneath my shirt, I pull back.
"I have work today, you can come if you want." He nods.
"That could be fun. But first.." I roll my eyes as he pulls me back down to him.

"Tobias...Mmhm...I have to... finish." He presses another kiss to my neck. I'm currently trying to work on a painting for a hospital, and him "distracting" me isn't helping.
" It can wait." He murmurs. I sigh, turning around and pressing a quick kiss to his lips.
"Can you go check the front desk? I know were slow today, but I just want to make sure." He lets out a hue sigh and gives m a half bow.
"As you wish." He turns and leaves the room. I pick up my brush, ready to start again, when I hear my name.
"Tris! Someones here to see you!" I let out a moan, wiping my hands on my already-paint-splattered jeans. Making my way to front room, I keep trying to wipe paint off my hands.
"Welcome to Splatter, How can I help you?"
"Beatrice" I looks up at the sound, my throat forming a lump.
"Caleb."
