Don't look back || Newtmas

Six

Third person

After Thomas' sleep over with newt he felt more refreshed, he felt as though it was going to be better, a better day. Of course that didn't happen, yes he'd had an okay day at school but that's not why his day was, well...shit. It was because of the pack bonding. If he was completely honest he'd rather be with Newt, Minho, and Teresa but that wasn't going to happen, no. He need to act as though he's the same, the same kid that he was years ago. The 'sarcasm is my only defensive' kid.

He had to pretend, weak Stiles around the pack, leader Thomas around the gladers and when he was with both, he didn't know who he should be. So his two personalities mixed to make a mumble jumble of things, most the time this confused everyone well expect Newt. Newt had always understood Thomas always knew when something was up, when he was feeling unwell, when there was a slight shift in his emotions, it was the same for Thomas. He knew when Newt was unwell, mentally drained, not okay. The two of them just worked.

But as it was they couldn't be together, well not every second of every day. They had to be apart at times and right now was one of those times. Right now was pack bonding time, Newt wasn't part of Scott's pack, non of the gladers were and that's why Thomas/Stiles hated it. The pack Scott, Lydia, Malia, Liam, Masson, Corey, and Theo were the only ones who could attend this weeks pack bonding time, but if stiles could get out of it he would. I mean Scott would be with Malia, Mason would be with Corey, Liam would be with Theo and it would just be him and Lydia that were the only two who weren't with someone.

The whole Lydia and stiles situation was complicated as well, he had a crush on her for ages, she kissed him and after that his crush sort of disappeared, it was more like admiration, someone he could look up to. Lydia had been through hell and back and yet she still seemed the same, nothing about her changed. Stiles on the other hand he went through hell and everything changed. He just didn't get how Lydia did it, maybe he'd have to ask her at some point, but for now he needs to deal with this whole pack bonding thing.

"So guys, what we gonna do?" Scott asked.

"We could watch a movie," Theo suggested while Liam snuggled into his side closer.

"That sounds like a good idea," Malia agreed with Theo, which was shocking to say the least.

"Okay, movie it is, Stiles you wanna choose as you haven't been here in a while?"

"Yeah sure, why not but can I have a friend over?" Before Scott could answer that question Stiles continued, "I know it's pack bonding but I don't know I just feel, I don't know."

"I mean sure, as long as they don't know about us then it's fine, I guess," Scott replied.

"Thanks," Stiles smiled at him. "And Um we should watch, 5 feet apart. It's a sob story but still good none the less."

Stiles walked off to text Newt.

Tommy: Newtie

Newt: yes love

Tommy: do you wanna see me?

Newt: of course I want to see you

Tommy: how about right now?

Newt: yes please yes

Tommy: yay! I'm actually very happy you said yes or I would of died

Newt: wait what why? Why would of you died? Thomas are you okay? Thomas love please tell me you haven't got a knife in your chest or a gun to your head?

Tommy: Newtie you worry too much I'm fine I just wanna see you and I'm at Scott's with the pack you know the werewolf banshee werecoyote pack

Newt: yes I remember that one you were on about it back in the safe haven when you got your memories back

Tommy: so can you come to Scott's if I give you the address

Newt: yes I will come but I'm not talking

Tommy: yay! The address is ********

Newt: okay I'll see you in a minute

A few minutes later Newt was in Scott's living room sat next to Thomas on the sofa. The pack were only 20 minutes in to the film, and stiles was already bored. He wanted to take Newt back to his room and cuddle into him as much as he wanted, being with the pack he's limited.

"Tommy," Newt whispered making sure the pack couldn't hear him. Thomas turned his head to look as Newt, he was facing him there faces inches apart. If someone knocked either of them there Mouths would collide in a kiss; it wouldn't be the first time.

Thomas eyes still locked on to Newts, he pulled back slightly making sure he could still hear Newt whispered but not close enough to want to kiss him. "Yeah, you okay?"

"I just umm..." Newt was hesitant to ask but did anyway, it was only Thomas and he would do anything or him,"I want to cuddle, I'm cold." Thomas took off his jumper, that he was currently wearing, gave it to Newt. Once Newt had the jumper on Thomas opened his arms for Newt to wiggle his way into them.

The two boys had stayed like that for the rest of the film, cuddled up In each other, covering the other in there scent, more Thomas' than Newts, it felt as though the whole world around them had stopped, as though the pack wasn't there, staring, watching them, looking at them weirdly like they'd seen a ghost or something.

Scott coughed.

Both boys heads snapped towards Scott. "I can explain," Thomas/Stiles' said, whiles Newts arms were wrapped around Thomas torso and Thomas' arms were wrapped around Newts shoulders and his hands in Newts hair.

"Please do," Scott said a little disappointed in his friend.

"Well um...Newt and I..." Thomas tried to get words out, not sure if he should tell or not. "Stiles and I go back a while, he's told me a lot about you and your guys friendship, but um...Stiles and I are umm we..." Newt rambled on.

"We're friends with benefit" Thomas/Stiles blurted out. Newt looked at him eyes wide open, he blinded a few times before finally registering Thomas' words.

"Yeahh, friends with benefits," Newt said in an almost guilty tone.

Scott gives them a look, the rest of the pack had disappeared somewhere, after that Scott disappeared too. Newt turned to Thomas, "Tommy, what the hell! FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS! Yes we've done it once in the glad but that doesn't mean we're friends with benefits seriously!?"

"What it's the only thing I could think of, unless you had a better idea?"

"No I didn't but still, something different would of been better," Newt said.

"I'm sorry Newtie," Thomas said to the boy pulling him into his chest and placing a kiss in his hair.

"Eww, get off me you horny bastard," Newt said back pushing Thomas away. Thomas liked playful Newt he was more fun than mum Newt.

"Make me," Thomas replied as he pulled Newt into him once again this time messing up Newts hair. Little did both boys know the Scott was watching this scene play out. Watching there every move and listening to there heartbeats for irregular skips or a faster pace.
