Dare

17 part 1

Tobias' pov

Last night Tris proposed to me. It felt just a little bit weird, but, only because I was planning to propose today after dinner at the tattoo parlor. Good thing I haven't bought the ring yet. I'll just get those ones for the actual wedding and it'll be fine.

After changing I see Tris still asleep and it looks really cute. I remember when she was just six at my mother's "funneral". She was a cute little girl even if I didn't pay much attention to her in Abnegation. But then when she jumped off of the roof when she was 16 going on 17 I knew there was something about her that I had to pay close attention to. For one thing it sparked memories of when we were younger. Like walking back to my house and seeing her walk on the other side of the street with her rat brother, Caleb. Or watching her leave the house in the morning while my "father" gave me last minute beatings.

"Tris, you need to wake up now. We have to go to the net today. New initiates in a couple of hours and you like taking those really long, 30 minute showers." I tell her gentley while shaking her lightly.

She groans a little bit but gets up letting out a small, "Fine." Tris does the slouchy, closed-eyed walk that makes her get to the bathroom 3 times slower than usual. I chuckle at the sight of it.
